Ground offers an API that lets financial platforms embed onchain yield products—matching strategies to clients' risk and liquidity preferences—without building their own blockchain integrations. Its platform currently supports crypto-native yield sources including lending protocols and structured products, and plans to add liquid staking tokens; Cuming cited protocols such as Aave, Morpho, Maple, and Kamino across Ethereum, Solana, and Layer 2 networks. Target customers include fintechs, neobanks, wealth managers, exchanges, and asset managers building yield, savings, or investment products. Ground launched from stealth alongside its fundraising and is based in San Francisco. The company plans to monetize via usage-based platform fees and intends to expand its team by two to four hires. Ground was co-founded by Reid Cuming and CTO Sam Yoon; Cuming previously co-founded Superstate and served at Compound Treasury, and the company currently has three full-time employees plus one contractor.
