OpenEden Integrates LI.FI To Simplify T-BILL Purchases

TL;DR – Users can swap any asset across 15+ chains & L2s into USDC to purchase OpenEden Treasury Bills ($TBILL)

Alex C.

We’re excited to announce that OpenEden, a tokenized RWA investment platform that provides investors with exposure to US Treasury Bills, has integrated LI.FI! 

The OpenEden Treasury Bills (TBILL) Vault is a smart contract vault offering investors direct exposure to short-dated U.S. Treasury Bills via the TBILL token.

Each TBILL token is backed 1:1 by U.S. T-Bills held in segregated accounts by licensed custodians and managed by a regulated fund manager. This ensures transparency, security, and stability, providing a reliable avenue for investors to earn U.S. T-Bills yield within the decentralized ecosystem.

With the integration, OpenEden users can swap directly into USDC on Ethereum & Arbitrum from 15+ chains and L2s and then mint TBILLs to earn 5.30% U.S. Treasury yields on chain!

For example, users can go from MATIC on Polygon to USDC on Arbitrum or any other combination of tokens/chains and mint TBILLs.

What Is OpenEden?

OpenEden has launched the first smart contract vault to offer 24/7 access to U.S. Treasury Bills (T-Bills). Stablecoin holders can mint TBILL tokens via the OpenEden TBILL Vault to earn the U.S. risk-free rate, which yields 5.30% as of March 2024.

TBILL is an ERC-20-compliant RWA (Real World Asset) token issued by the platform, representing the tokenization of real-world assets. Each TBILL is fully backed by a portfolio of short-dated U.S. T-Bills, and its yield varies with the fluctuation of short-term US Treasury bonds. 

TBILL tokens can only be minted and redeemed by users who have completed the KYC verification process and have been fully whitelisted through the T-Bill Vault product.

Here are some features OpenEden offers:

  • Direct T-Bills exposure: The value of TBILL tokens is derived from a portfolio of short-duration U.S. Treasury Bills.

  • 24/7 instant settlement: Smart contracts enable instant minting on-chain, versus up to two business days in TradFi.

  • Regulatory-first: The issuer of TBILL tokens is a professional fund regulated by the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission and managed by a regulated fund manager in a Tier-1 jurisdiction.

  • Audited and verifiable: OpenEden publishes daily reserve reports from a regulated custodian, monthly valuation reports from a third-party fund administrator. The TBILL Vault smart contract has been formally audited by Hacken.

  • Bankruptcy remote: A regulated custodian holds the underlying assets of TBILL tokens in a fully-segregated account for the benefit of TBILL token holders, removing any risk of commingling with OpenEden’s balance sheet.
