Cap leverages EigenLayer and Symbiotic to enable regulated DeFi yields
Cap is pioneering a framework where financial operators generate yield while minimizing user exposure to operational risk. By using shared security markets, Cap decouples user risk from third-party yield strategies, enabling more sustainable and compliant products.
Layer 2 adoption powers real-time DeFi opportunities
The project is being deployed on MegaETH, a layer 2 solution enabling real-time ecosystem interaction. This layer allows Cap to offer dynamic, fast, and secure integrations across DeFi protocols and real-world asset platforms.
Cap’s roadmap strengthened by retail and VC backing
The $8 million round follows a previous $1.1 million crowdfunding initiative via Echo. The combined funding ensures Cap has the resources to scale adoption, refine its stablecoin engine, and integrate with a variety of DeFi and asset management protocols.
