The on-chain fund aggregator will debut T-Bills and Private Credits products, partnering with major asset managers and offering yields boosted by a 22% subsidy.
R2 Protocol will launch its mainnet on September 26 at 15:00 UTC+8, introducing its first Vaults after passing security audits by PeckShield and Supremacy. A website update on September 23 will let testnet users check rewards. The initial phase will include two real-world asset (RWA) investment products based on T-Bills and Private Credits, developed with partners such as Securitize, BlackRock, VanEck, Centrifuge, Apollo, Mercado Bitcoin, Fasanara, and Goldfinch. The Private Credits Vault will feature an additional 22% platform subsidy at launch, a $10 million subscription cap, and yields of up to about 32%. R2 Protocol promotes itself as the first on-chain fund aggregator delivering institutional-grade real yields, targeting USDC returns of 9–10% annually from real assets plus further gains from DeFi strategies.
