Dubai, UAE, March 25th, 2026, FinanceWire
Mantle, the high-performance distribution and liquidity layer for real-world assets, today announced the expansion of Mantle Vault on Bybit to Mantle Chain. Built in partnership with Aave and CIAN, the vault now brings on-chain yield powered by native DeFi infrastructure directly to over 80 million Bybit users.
This integration is the Mantle Bybit CeDeFi flywheel in action: capital deposited via Bybit flows onto the Mantle Chain, deepening TVL and unlocking further on-chain yield opportunities. Mantle Vault on Bybit has surpassed $150 million in Assets Under Management since its initial launch and now it expands to the Mantle Network, following the rapid growth of Aave’s deployment on Mantle, which reached $1.25 billion in total value locked within its first month.
“What we built here is not just a yield product. It is a demonstration of how CeFi and DeFi infrastructure can operate as a unified system,” said Emily Bao, Head of Spot at Bybit and Key Advisor at Mantle. “Bybit’s liquidity, Aave’s lending markets, and CIAN’s automated strategies running on Mantle create a product that is greater than the sum of its parts.”
“CIAN specializes in developing and operating structured onchain yield products, abstracting complex DeFi strategies into simple, user-friendly vaults,” said Luffy, Founder of CIAN. “By deploying natively on Mantle, CIAN enables stablecoin yield strategies to achieve greater efficiency and composability within Mantle’s low-cost, high-performance execution environment.”
“As the core yield layer behind Mantle Vault, this integration brings Aave’s lending markets to more than 80 million Bybit users,” said Stani Kulechov, Founder and CEO of Aave Labs. “It’s a powerful example of how global platforms can connect directly to Aave’s onchain liquidity, extending Aave’s reach and bringing more liquidity into the ecosystem.”
From CeFi Deposit to On-Chain Yield
Mantle Vault requires no on-chain experience from the user. Deposits are made through Bybit’s familiar interface, while the underlying infrastructure handles everything else. The vault maintains a conservative risk profile throughout, making institutional-grade on-chain yield accessible without the complexity that typically comes with it. The vault captures optimized yield by combining Aave’s base supply APY with Mantle ecosystem incentives, while maintaining a conservative risk profile that makes on-chain yield accessible to a broad range of users.
