R25 today announced the official public beta launch of R25 Studio, the core product of its 2.0 architecture.R25 Studio is dedicated to realizing the vision that "anyone can become an asset manager," fully opening up institutional-grade fund setup, operations, and distribution capabilities. By abstracting cumbersome legal documents, back-end systems, and compliance processes into configurable smart contracts, R25 Studio has successfully compressed the fund setup timeline from months to just 10 minutes.The platform is built around four pillars — Build, Manage, Earn, and Distribute — covering Vault creation, subscription and redemption, investment management, fee earning, and distribution. Asset managers no longer need to build complex fund structures from scratch; they can autonomously configure investment parameters, management fees, and performance fee rates onchain, generate dedicated Vault Tokens/Shares, and list their Vaults on channels such as Dapp and Topnod. The platform also provides performance data including NAV, APY, cumulative returns, and maximum drawdown, helping asset managers monitor strategy performance in real time.Previously during the 1.0 phase, Axil launched a private credit Vault on R25 and successfully surpassed $130 million in TVL, validating the reliability of this infrastructure.The application channel for the first batch of managers is now open.

Odaily News Coinbase has released its Q2 2026 Solana validator operations report, stating that its Solana validator nodes outperform the network average in terms of yield, stability, and infrastructure distribution. Data shows that Coinbase currently stakes approximately 41.63 million SOL across 23 validator nodes, accounting for 9.72% of Solana's total staked supply, with nodes distributed across 7 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Singapore, and other regions. Key operational metrics are as follows:Staking scale: 41.63 million SOL, representing 9.72% of total network staked supply;Staking yield: Q2 2026 quarterly APY of 6.52%, higher than the network average of 6.38%, outperforming by 14 basis points;Block skip rate: 0.035%, lower than the network average of 0.136%, approximately one-quarter of the network average.Coinbase stated that its validator nodes employ a multi-client architecture, currently running four clients, including Harmonic, Jito, JitoBAM, and Firedancer. All solutions have been reviewed by the Solana Foundation and do not employ aggressive MEV timing strategies that could impact user experience. In terms of infrastructure, Coinbase has deployed its validator nodes across two independent bare-metal service providers, with off-site backups configured for each node to mitigate single points of failure. Additionally, the company stated that it has migrated its entire validator cluster to the DoubleZero network, achieving approximately 99.9% session availability.Coinbase also revealed that it is preparing for Solana's Alpenglow consensus upgrade, expected to advance later in 2026, including running community test nodes, developing new consensus health monitoring tools, and completing related vote account upgrade verification.
Odaily News, Ground COO Stephanie Vaughan stated that the current DeFi industry is陷入 a "yield war," but market participants are more focused on securing distribution access to fintech platforms, overlooking the real problems users need to solve.She pointed out that Robinhood, Coinbase, Revolut, and Kraken are competing for user funds, while protocols such as Aave, Morpho, and Ethena are competing to become the infrastructure for lending strategies. Vault service providers and risk management institutions are also competing around fintech platforms. However, this model does not establish DeFi's own user relationships—it merely fights for the opportunity to be selected by platforms.Stephanie believes that the current market is signaling that DeFi products have near-zero pricing power. Much of the yield comes from subsidies provided by platforms, Vault service providers, strategy providers, or underlying protocols, rather than genuine demand created by the products themselves. This is more like paying "shelf fees" than achieving true distribution capabilities.She further noted that some multi-strategy Vaults suffer from issues such as idle capital, deployment delays, and slow governance processes, resulting in a gap between the actual returns users receive and the advertised APY. In contrast, traditional financial products like money market funds can put capital to work immediately.Stephanie stated that with declining L2 costs and maturing cross-chain infrastructure, the chain itself is no longer a core competitive advantage. In the future, DeFi should build products closer to personal execution environments, driven by user needs. She believes the competitive focus should shift from shared Vaults to infrastructure like MPC wallets, allowing users to retain control over strategies while platforms handle execution and streamline processes.
