TownSquare Announces $10 Million Monad-Based Yield Vault in Collaboration with Native
TownSquare, an infrastructure provider for institutional yields and cross-chain lending brokerage services, has partnered with Native, a non-custodial automated trading infrastructure, to launch a $10 million yield-generating vault on the Monad L1.

Native is a close partner of Binance Wallet and Buidlpad, having previously launched vaults for BNB and wETH on BNB Chain and Ethereum—demonstrating its stability, scalability, and ability to generate yields for liquidity providers (LPs) managing tens of millions of dollars. This initiative also represents the first trading-yield vault on the Monad chain. Native already operates credit pools across multiple EVM chains with over $35 million in liquidity, achieving daily trading volumes of $50–100 million and cumulative trading volume exceeding $25 billion. Its Proactive Market Making (PMM) structure enables retail users to access institutional-grade trading yields. TownSquare previously launched a $100 million USD1 liquidity program and has raised over $16 million to date—including funding from this collaboration.

Qiming Venture Partners Releases 2026 Top 10 AI Outlook: Key Breakthroughs Expected in Foundation Models, Embodied Intelligence, and AI Infrastructure
: Qiming Venture Partners has released the "2026 Qiming Venture Partners Top 10 AI Outlook," which focuses on four major directions: foundation models, embodied intelligence, AI infrastructure, and AI applications, predicting the development trends of the artificial intelligence industry over the next 12 to 24 months.

The competition in AI infrastructure will also evolve from competition centered on single chips to system-level competition encompassing chips, interconnects, cooling, power supply, and other components. In the next 12 to 24 months, the commercialization of AI applications will focus more intensively on vertical industries and high-paying users. Applications that improve enterprise efficiency will take off first. Meanwhile, as token costs decrease and interaction models innovate, phenomenal AI consumer applications are also expected to gradually emerge.Furthermore, Qiming Venture Partners anticipates that AI-Native organizations will move from concept to practical implementation. Some companies are expected to achieve several times the per capita productivity improvement compared to traditional organizations.
