[PRESS RELEASE – New York, New York, USA, December 12th, 2024]
With $9.5M in total funding, Superform launches SuperUSDC to deliver optimized stablecoin yield with onchain simplicity.
Superform Labs, the onchain wealth app to effortlessly grow your crypto portfolio, announced today it has raised $3 million in a strategic round led by VanEck Ventures with participation from Polychain Capital, CMT Digital, Amber Group, Node Ventures, BlockTower Capital, Heartcore Capital, Maven11 Capital, and UpTop Capital. This follows its $6.5 million Seed round in November 2022, bringing Superform Labs’ total funding to $9.5 million.
The new funding coincides with the launch of SuperVaults, Superform’s flagship native yield products designed to redefine onchain earning with simplicity, security, and optimization and Season 2 of their rewards program, offering boosted rewards for SuperVault depositors. Acting as intelligent onchain high-yield savings products, SuperVaults empower users to earn more with their assets through automated, non-custodial yield management. These single-asset vaults seamlessly maximize returns while combining the reliability and accessibility of traditional finance with the earning potential of onchain finance. To learn more and start using SuperVaults, please visit Superform’s blog post.
The first SuperVault to launch is SuperUSDC, which is a stablecoin yield vault for USDC on Ethereum. With SuperUSDC, users can passively earn the highest returns on their USDC across blue chip protocols without the need for active management. SuperUSDC brings together the best of optimization and security in onchain finance. Using SuperPools, an existing Superform product, users can access SuperUSDC yield directly from Base, the leading Ethereum L2, for a fraction of the cost of Ethereum. Superform plans to expand SuperUSDC to additional chains, further enhancing earning opportunities for depositors.
“At Superform, we aim to redefine onchain finance by making wealth-building effortless, secure, and rewarding,” said Vikram Arun, CEO and Co-Founder of Superform Labs. “Building on the momentum of our Seed round, we are excited to introduce SuperVaults—the culmination of our work to make these products accessible, blending the high-yield potential of DeFi with the trustworthiness and cost of traditional financial solutions.”
SuperVaults automate yield management, allowing users to passively earn the most stablecoin yields across DeFi protocols. Key features include:
- Optimized Earnings: Maximize yield for passive income with minimal effort.
- Seamless Experience: Single-transaction deposits and automated yield management.
- Security and Trust: Built on robust audits and proactive simulations.
“We’re excited to support Superform’s mission to redefine onchain wealth as one of the first investments from our new fund,” said Wyatt Lonergan, General Partner at VanEck Ventures. “We strongly believe a major platform opportunity will emerge in aggregating interest-bearing products in the open, ultimately catalyzing the next wave of innovation in wealth management. SuperVaults take this a step further by turning assets like USDC into optimized yield products leveraging blue chip protocols under the hood.”
The additional $3 million in funding will enable Superform to expand its offerings, starting with the launch of SuperUSDC on Ethereum, the first in its line of SuperVaults. It will also support the development of cross-chain capabilities, enhancing yield optimization for users across multiple protocols. Additionally, the funding will fuel team growth, allowing Superform to advance product development and provide enhanced support to its growing user base.

General Digital Asset Risks
Cryptocurrencies and digital assets are not suitable for all investors. Investments in digital assets and Web3 companies are highly speculative and involve a high degree of risk. These risks include, but are not limited to: the technology is new and many of its uses may be untested; intense competition; slow adoption rates and the potential for product obsolescence; volatility and limited liquidity, including but not limited to, inability to liquidate a position; loss or destruction of key(s) to access accounts or the blockchain; reliance on digital wallets; reliance on unregulated markets and exchanges; reliance on the internet; cybersecurity risks; and the lack of regulation and the potential for new laws and regulation that may be difficult to predict. Moreover, the extent to which Web3 companies or digital assets utilize blockchain technology may vary, and it is possible that even widespread adoption of blockchain technology may not result in a material increase in the value of such companies or digital assets.
Digital asset prices are highly volatile, and the value of digital assets, and Web3 companies, can rise or fall dramatically and quickly. If their value goes down, there’s no guarantee that it will rise again. As a result, there is a significant risk of loss of your entire principal investment.
Digital assets are not generally backed or supported by any government or central bank and are not covered by FDIC or SIPC insurance. Accounts at digital asset custodians and exchanges are not protected by SPIC and are not FDIC insured. Furthermore, markets and exchanges for digital assets are not regulated with the same controls or customer protections available in traditional equity, option, futures, or foreign exchange investing.
Digital assets include, but are not limited to, cryptocurrencies, tokens, NFTs, assets stored or created using blockchain technology, and other Web3 products.
Web3 Companies include but are not limited to, companies that involve the development, innovation, and/or utilization of blockchain, digital assets, or crypto technologies.
