Base was created with a clear mission: to bring the world onchain.
It is not just another blockchain, but a foundation for a global onchain economy — one that is open, inclusive, and accessible to everyone.
This vision has resonated widely, attracting builders, creators, and communities who see Base as the infrastructure where new financial systems can thrive.
River shares this belief. Since day one, our work has focused on solving one of the biggest barriers to a true onchain economy: liquidity fragmentation.
Across more than 400 networks, dozens of stablecoins, and multiple yield assets, capital today is locked in silos.
Assets sit idle in one ecosystem while opportunities for yield, lending, or payment exist in another. Moving value between them often requires bridging, wrapping, and extra layers of risk.
River’s chain-abstraction stablecoin system was designed to break this deadlock. Powered by omni-CDP, it allows users to deposit collateral on one chain and mint satUSD on another — natively, without bridges or wrapped assets.
Assets remain secure in their original environment, but value becomes fluid, able to move across ecosystems and into opportunities.
In a world where every asset should be free to flow to its highest use, River provides the mechanism to make that possible.
Why Base and River Align
Launching River on Base is more than a deployment. It represents a deep alignment of vision.
Base is building the infrastructure for a global onchain economy, one where innovation and ownership are not confined to a single network but shared across an open stack.
River complements this by providing the stablecoin and liquidity layer that such an economy requires.
In practical terms, this means that assets and liquidity flowing into Base through River do not just arrive — they stay, activate, and multiply.
River enables capital to be put to work directly inside the Base ecosystem, supporting builders and applications with stable value and yield opportunities.
Smart Vault and Prime Vault: Activating Liquidity on Base
Two of River’s core modules highlight what this means in practice.
Smart Vault is designed to provide safe, automated yield strategies.
By eliminating liquidation risk, it allows users to deposit assets and earn yield seamlessly. This makes it easier for individuals and communities to keep capital active without constant management.
Prime Vault extends this approach to larger pools of capital, creating a pathway for institutional participants to enter the Base ecosystem with confidence.
By offering predictable yield and scale, it ensures that significant flows of liquidity can remain inside Base over the long term.
Together, Smart Vault and Prime Vault create the financial rails that transform Base from a platform for transactions into a destination for sustainable liquidity.
They ensure that assets are not just present but productive — powering applications, strategies, and new forms of participation.
Building the Financial Layer of the Onchain Economy
An open onchain economy requires more than applications and infrastructure.
It also requires a stable financial layer that allows liquidity to circulate naturally, instead of fragmenting across isolated chains.
This is where River’s chain-abstraction stablecoin system, satUSD, and vault modules come in. They provide:
- Stable value through omni-CDP minting, backed by BTC, ETH, BNB, and LSTs
- Yield opportunities through Smart Vault and Prime Vault, accessible without liquidation risk
- Liquidity circulation that strengthens ecosystems instead of draining them
For Base, this means more capital staying within its ecosystem, supporting builders and compounding value.
For users, it means access to stable, yield-bearing assets directly aligned with Base’s broader mission.
Looking Ahead
Going live on Base is a strategic step in River’s journey, but it is also only the beginning.
As River continues to expand, we will deepen our integrations within Base, support new partners and applications, and explore additional use cases for satUSD and vault strategies — from payments to real-world assets to trade finance.
The alignment between River and Base is natural. Both are committed to building a global onchain economy that is open for everyone.
By combining Base’s infrastructure with River’s chain-abstraction stablecoin system, the path toward that vision becomes clearer: assets flowing seamlessly, liquidity activating where it is needed, and opportunities open to all.
Flow with River.
