The Composability Layer: Concrete as DeFi’s Liquid Foundation

The Power of Financial Legos

One of the greatest strengths of DeFi is composability—the ability for different protocols to stack like Lego bricks. However, in the past, this "stacking" often led to fragmented liquidity and capital traps. When assets are locked in a vault, they often lose their ability to interact with the rest of the ecosystem. In 2026, Concrete is solving this by providing a liquid, high-velocity foundation for Managed DeFi.

ctASSETs: The Bridge to More Alpha

At the heart of Concrete’s interoperability are ctASSETs. Unlike traditional receipt tokens that simply gather dust, ctASSETs are designed to be active capital primitives.

• Secondary Utility: Your capital is managed for risk-adjusted yield within a Concrete Vault, while the ctASSETs can simultaneously be used across other protocols.
• Liquidity Velocity: By maintaining the liquid nature of your deposits, Concrete ensures that your portfolio remains agile, allowing you to pivot or hedge without withdrawing from the core strategy.

Managed Efficiency at Scale

The Strategy Manager and Allocator work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that the underlying value of every ctASSET is optimized. This is the essence of onchain capital allocation: it’s not just about what one vault can do, but how that vault’s efficiency empowers your entire onchain footprint. By automating the backend, Concrete allows users to focus on high-level strategy while the Efficiency Engine handles the operational heavy lifting.

Institutional-Grade Composability

For institutions, the ability to integrate managed yields into broader treasury operations is vital. Through Hook Managers, Concrete ensures that even as assets move through the DeFi stack, they adhere to strict, hardcoded risk parameters. This combination of flexibility and safety is what makes Concrete the default infrastructure for professional-grade automated compounding and deployment.
