R2 Vaults Updated: A Refined Yield Upgrade for the Next Phase

We’re excited to announce an update to the R2 Vaults, further refining our yield architecture to better serve different user needs while staying true to our core principle: pure, transparent, real-world asset yield on-chain.

This update will officially go live with the launch of Season 2 (S2).

With this update, R2 now offers two clearly differentiated vaults:

  • sR2USD: a high-liquidity, low-risk core yield vault

  • sR2USD+: a season-based enhanced yield vault for long-term capital

Both vaults are backed entirely by institutional-grade RWAs, with no reliance on leverage or token inflation for base yield.


sR2USD — Core Stable Yield Vault

Target APY: ~5.0% 

sR2USD is designed as the core, low-risk yield vault for users seeking stable returns, high liquidity, and predictable redemption.

Portfolio Composition

Allocation

Role

VBILL

25%

Liquidity anchor & fast redemption buffer

USCC

40%

Liquid yield enhancement (T+3)

STAC

25%

Stable, predictable cash flows (T+3)

MB (short-duration, cash-flow-backed)

10%

Short-term yield enhancement

Key Characteristics

  • Risk Profile: Low

  • Liquidity: High

  • Redemption: Early redemption available (T+3) 

  • Yield Distribution: 90-day season-based

sR2USD is optimized to function as an on-chain equivalent of a high-quality cash management product, combining liquidity, stability, and real yield.


sR2USD+ — Enhanced Yield Season Vault

Target APY: ~8.0% – 10.0%

sR2USD+ is built for users willing to commit capital for a full season in exchange for higher, diversified RWA yield exposure.

VBILL

NAV stability & minimal liquidity buffer

Apollo Acred

Long-duration, institutional-grade yield

USCC

Liquid yield enhancement (T+3)

STAC

Stable, predictable cash flows (T+3)

MB (short-duration, cash-flow-backed)

30%

Short-to-mid duration yield enhancement

Key Characteristics

  • Risk Profile: Low – Medium

  • Liquidity: Medium

  • Redemption: Standard redemptions occur at season end. A limited fast-track option may be available based on a dedicated liquidity buffer. Fast-track withdrawals before the current season completes may forfeit current cycle yield.

  • Yield Distribution: 90-day season-based

sR2USD+ introduces controlled duration and credit exposure to unlock higher returns, while maintaining transparency and conservative risk management.


Why This Update Matters

  • Clear product differentiation: users can now choose between liquidity-first or yield-maximizing strategies

  • Pure RWA yield: no leverage, no synthetic yield engineering

  • Institutional-grade construction: diversified assets, clear cash-flow paths, predictable redemption

  • Season-based design: aligns capital duration with underlying asset behavior

This updated structure strengthens R2’s position as a real yield infrastructure layer, bridging institutional RWAs with on-chain accessibility.

We’ll continue to iterate on asset composition, reporting transparency, and partner integrations, always with the goal of making real-world yield simple, verifiable, and globally accessible.

Stay tuned for upcoming season details and performance updates.
