Your monthly roundup of newly supported yields, client deployments, and what’s shipping at Yield.xyz.
Summary
October was a month of expansion for Yield.xyz, with new chain integrations, validator updates, and major infrastructure improvements powering the next generation of yield access. We’ve added support for new networks, rolled out the next phase of our Shield security framework, and introduced TVL and commission-level metadata across key staking and lending protocols.
Builders Using Yield.xyz
Integrations continue to accelerate across wallets, exchanges, and institutional platforms. Recent deployments from October include:
- Utila: Added support for the Gauntlet USDC Morpho Vault on Optimism. This Morpho Vault launched in October, and Yield.xyz supported it as a new yield opportunity just days after launch.
- Stackup: Integrated the Yield API to offer stablecoin yields powered by Morpho natively within their enterprise platform.
- Zerion Wallet: Added Maple Finance and Spark Savings vaults through Yield.xyz for new stablecoin yield opportunities.
New Yield Opportunities
This month brought extensive growth across networks and protocols, with hundreds of new yield opportunities added to the Yield.xyz API.
Plasma Network Support: Yield.xyz now supports Plasma network, an OP Stack L2 integrating with Aave V3, Euler, and Fluid. This rollout introduces 82 new yield opportunities across supported protocols, expanding access to DeFi yields for both stablecoins and other major assets.
Spark Savings Vaults V2: Support for Spark Vaults V2 is live, featuring USDC, USDT, and ETH on Ethereum. These vaults deliver competitive APYs while maintaining Spark’s onchain transparency and security.
Morpho Expansion: October saw the addition of 17 new Morpho vaults across Optimism, Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Katana — including Keyrock USDC, Relend USDT, and Clearstar USDT Reactor vaults. All Morpho vaults now use 30-day trailing APY calculations, ensuring more accurate and consistent performance estimation.
Maple Finance: Two new Maple Finance markets, syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT, were added to the Yield.xyz API, offering institutional-grade stablecoin yields that have historically ranged between 4% to 8% APY.
Ethereum Staking on Hoodi Testnet: We’ve migrated Ethereum native staking from Holesky to Hoodi testnet, enabling easier testing of staking integrations via Luganodes, Figment, and P2P directly through Yield.xyz.
Integration & API Improvements
October brought key backend and API upgrades designed to improve accuracy, coverage, and developer experience across all integrations.
TVL Metadata Across ERC4626 Vaults: Total Value Locked is now calculated and stored for all ERC4626 vaults, aggregating totalAssets and exposing the data through the yield statistics API.
Solana Staked Balance Accuracy: Improved accuracy for Solana staking balances by filtering out balances not owned by the authorized staker. Delegations from liquid staking protocols like Marinade and Jito are now correctly excluded.
Bittensor Validator Data Refresh: Bittensor validator fetching is now powered by the Taostats API, improving speed, accuracy, and coverage for subnet metrics.
Gas Estimation Optimization: A new configurable gasMultiplier was added to ERC4626 vault metadata to improve gas estimation precision across EVM networks.
Yield.xyz Infrastructure
Shield Framework Update
Following the release of our Zero-Trust Transaction Validation Library (Shield) earlier this month, we introduced a new constant — DEFAULT_SHIELD_MODE — in the ShieldValidationService.
This ensures automatic fallback to BLOCK mode for invalid or missing configurations, reinforcing Shield’s mission to guarantee that every transaction constructed by Yield.xyz is verified and tamper-proof.

Transaction Fetch Logic Enhancements
We improved address handling across stake queries by including the address relation directly in transaction fetch logic — ensuring more consistent and reliable validation results.
Balance PreCheck Removal
Refactored the InitializedYieldModule by removing redundant balance prechecks, streamlining initialization and improving performance across all EVM integrations.
Validator Updates
Validator coverage continues to expand across major ecosystems:
- Validation Cloud — added as a preferred staking provider
- Pier Two — added as a preferred staking provider
- Luganodes — removed as a validator on Polkadot due to high stake amount
- Meria — added support for the new Polkadot validator
- Everstake — removed as a provider on Osmosis
- Figment — added a preferred validator for Cronos staking
