Aperture operates a cross-chain DeFi investment ecosystem centered on a smart-contract-enabled marketplace for yield and investment strategies, with integrated bridge solutions to connect opportunities across blockchains. Its product aims to let retail and institutional users execute complex, multi-step DeFi strategies with near one-click smart contracts, removing the need for multiple wallets or tokens. Aperture positions its marketplace to abstract away the complexities of cross-chain yield strategies and harmonize liquidity across networks. A private beta launched on Feb 7, 2022 featuring a delta-neutral strategy on synthetic stock tokens, and the company planned a V1 product launch in March to enable EVM-compatible chains to access Terra ecosystem opportunities. The team is Silicon Valley–based, with three co-founders from Stanford, Cornell, and UC Berkeley and 20+ years of combined product and engineering experience at Google, AWS, and Netflix. Aperture also intends to run a token generation event and will release further product details on its official channels.
