Sentora is an institutional-grade platform bridging traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi), focused on delivering secure and compliant digital asset yield solutions for institutional investors. Its core product, Smart Yield Vaults, automates strategies to optimize returns across various chains and protocols. The platform integrates a Risk Radar system that monitors key metrics such as collateralization and liquidity in real-time to quantify risk and safeguard funds. Sentora is non-custodial, ensuring users retain control of their assets, and supports multi-chain and multi-protocol interactions, aiming to lower the barrier for institutional entry into DeFi.

About Sentora
Sentora is an institutional-grade DeFi layer that curates yield strategies, risk management, and insurance into one platform. Its core business is selecting and structuring vaults: Direct Vaults offer simple, single-market exposure, while Smart Vaults run supervised loans and leveraged loops within a governed framework. These vaults operate on protocols like Morpho, Euler, and Kamino. In April 2026, Sentora launched Smart Yield, a public product that exposes each vault's strategy logic, risk metrics, liquidity depth, and concentration before deposit — replacing the industry norm of showing only a single APY number.
The market pain point is information asymmetry: retail users historically had to choose between a simple wallet and an institutional dashboard. Sentora's narrative is that transparency itself is the product — it brings the same research-led risk framework used for $2.5B+ of institutional capital to every user. It also adds post-deposit monitoring via Hypernative and an insurance layer called Firelight, addressing the problem that risk visibility often stops at the moment of deposit.
In the past six months, Sentora's Morpho vaults surpassed $1B in deposits, a sign of institutional adoption. Around June 2026, Wellington Management, which oversees over $1.3 trillion in assets, used Sentora to create a lending vault on Morpho that accepts tokenized actively-managed credit portfolios as collateral — its first move into on-chain credit strategies. This positions Sentora as a bridge for traditional institutions entering DeFi.
Sentora was formed in May 2025 through the merger of IntoTheBlock and Trident Digital, completing a $25M Series A led by New Form Capital with participation from Ripple, Tribe Capital, and others. This marked the creation of a unified institutional DeFi layer combining IntoTheBlock's $3B+ historical deployments and analytics with Trident's structured product expertise.
Key long-term milestones include: the PRIME Main Vault surpassing $200M in PYUSD deposits within 100 days; Kraken DeFi Earn Vaults reaching $600M in under six months; and a $1.4B TVL breakthrough with EtherFi. These events demonstrated scalable institutional demand for compliant, risk-managed DeFi strategies.
Over the past six months (Mar–Sep 2026), Sentora crossed $1B in total deposits across its Morpho vaults, led by PYUSD Main V2 ($299M) and RLUSD Main V2 ($215M), with APYs between 4.9% and 7.4%. New vaults launched include the PRIME vault (May), Huma PST vault (Aug 26, >$16M in first week), and mWIN vault. Sentora also expanded to Stellar with PYUSD and USDC vaults, added a PYUSD/USDe vault on Kamino, and enabled FXRP as collateral in its RLUSD Main vault on Morpho. It extended Risk Radar to cover Pendle fixed-rate markets. In June, Morpho raised $175M at a $2B+ valuation, reinforcing institutional DeFi lending. Sentora launched Smart Yield, a public discovery and monitoring layer for curated vaults, and is developing DeFi Cover, a coverage product based on the Firelight protocol to protect against specific risk events. Future focus includes scaling PayFi infrastructure, integrating vaults into embedded earn programs with major fintech/exchange partners, and supporting neobanks building on stablecoin rails and on-chain yield.
