River is Now Live on Ethereum

River is now on Ethereum.

This is the first time satUSD and Smart Vault land on Ethereum. Starting today, you can mint satUSD natively, and the first Smart Vault is just ahead.

How to Mint satUSD on Ethereum

Users can now mint satUSD natively on Ethereum

Mint satUSD

Once minted, satUSD can be used in Ethereum DeFi or added to the satUSD-USDT pool on Uniswap: https://app.uniswap.org/explore/tokens/ethereum/0x1958853A8BE062dc4f401750Eb233f5850F0D0d2


Introducing Smart Vault

Smart Vault is River’s yield product — built to make earning as simple as one deposit.

On Ethereum, you’ll be able to deposit assets like USDT, BTC, or ETH. The system automatically mints satUSD from your deposit and stakes it in the pool, so you start earning extra yield right away.

At the same time, Smart Vault deploys your funds across both DeFi and institutional-grade CeDeFi strategies, generating returns from multiple markets.

There’s no liquidation risk. Your position stays safe even when prices move. No strategy hunting, no manual management — one deposit gets you in.

Here’s the flow:

  1. Deposit assets
  2. satUSD is minted automatically
  3. satUSD is staked for additional rewards
  4. Funds run across strategies, yield keeps compounding

The first Smart Vault will launch on Ethereum. It’s live, but deposits are not yet open.
