What is Superform?

Superform is the onchain wealth app. We are building the easiest way to access and distribute yield (ways to earn interest on your digital assets) across blockchains while remaining decentralized, permissionless, and non-custodial.

Superform was created with the belief that we can do better than the incumbent systems and corporations that govern our financial lives. We are building real tools that help real people solve real problems. From the protocol layer, to the execution layer, to the app layer, Superform Labs is building cutting edge solutions for the most pressing issues in decentralized finance. Whether you are a seasoned crypto veteran or a total web3 newbie with deep financial experience - Superform Labs wants to work with anyone who is excited at the chance to majorly disrupt global finance for the better.

Superform Labs is backed by Polychain Capital, Circle Ventures, and more. We recently launched SuperVaults, a smart earn product, alongside a fundraise led by VanEck.

There are three main components to Superform:

1. Superform Protocol: The protocol creates a discovery and execution layer to route data and assets across chains into opportunities

2. Superform App: The UX layer that allows users to browse, access, and manage yield opportunities from any chain

3. Superform Backend: The backend interfaces between the protocol and dApp to fulfill on-chain user actions and provides features powering the marketplace
