This year marked a significant chapter in Sturdy’s journey as a leading force in DeFi. From groundbreaking advancements in decentralized machine learning to expanding the Sturdy ecosystem, 2024 set the stage for even greater achievements ahead.
Here’s a quick breakdown of Sturdy’s key milestones from 2024:
Launch of the Sturdy Subnet (SN10)
One of the most transformative developments of 2024 was the launch and integration of SN10, Sturdy’s Bittensor subnet. The subnet uses decentralized AI to manage liquidity allocation autonomously, enhancing yields for lenders while ensuring efficient liquidity for borrowers. The subnet has already allocated over $150m in user funds.
Key Features of SN10:
• AI-Driven Optimization: Miners compete to develop custom allocation strategies designed to maximize returns.
• Autonomous Rebalancing: Liquidity is reallocated between siloes in response to market conditions, maintaining healthy yields for all participants.
• Full Transparency: The Sturdy Subnet Dashboard provides real-time insights into SN10’s decision-making, tracking how millions of dollars in assets are allocated and optimized.
SN10 is a game-changer, positioning Sturdy as a leader in AI-driven yield farming. It allows users to earn more with minimal effort, offering a seamless, efficient way to participate in DeFi.
Expansion Beyond Sturdy’s Ecosystem:
SN10 doesn’t just power Sturdy aggregators. In 2024, the subnet began managing liquidity for third-party protocols, including Morpho’s USDC pool, showcasing its versatility in optimizing yields across asset classes.
Expanded Aggregators and Strategic Partnerships
Throughout 2024, Sturdy introduced new aggregators and collaborated with top DeFi protocols to provide users with innovative assets and collateral types.
Key Aggregator Highlights:
• GHO Aggregator: Integrated Aave’s decentralized, overcollateralized stablecoin, streamlining liquidity for lending pools.
• Dinero Aggregator: Enabled high-yield strategies using pxETH and apxETH, powered by SN10’s seamless optimizations.
• Renzo Aggregator: Introduced ezETH, offering borrowers access to this rebasing ETH derivative and passive WETH lending for lenders.
• Usual Labs Aggregator: Brought USD0++ to Sturdy, allowing users to maximize rewards with $USUAL and $STRDY.
These integrations empower users to choose strategies tailored to their risk-reward preferences while leveraging Sturdy’s advanced yield optimization technology.
Community and Ecosystem Growth
In 2024, Sturdy focused on fostering a stronger, more inclusive DeFi community. By creating a more accessible platform and engaging with DeFi enthusiasts, liquidity providers, and borrowers, participation in Sturdy’s ecosystem has grown significantly.
Efforts to educate users on yield optimization and DeFi strategies have further empowered our community, enabling them to maximize returns while mitigating risks. Sturdy’s community Brick Gang is back on the grind, check out the zealy to get involved!
Looking Ahead to 2025
As we move into 2025, Sturdy is committed to building on the progress of 2024. The focus will remain on delivering innovative solutions that redefine yield optimization and liquidity management in DeFi.
Goals for 2025:
• Expand SN10 Integration: Explore additional third-party applications for SN10, both within and outside DeFi.
• Grow Aggregator Offerings: Add new, high-potential assets to Sturdy’s network of siloes and aggregators.
• Enhance SN10 Capabilities: Introduce even more intelligent, real-time optimizations to improve user outcomes.
