Nuon Integrates IPOR Fusion's USDC Lending Optimizer for Smarter Yields

We’re excited to announce that Nuon has integrated IPOR Fusion’s USDC Lending Optimizer into its decentralized asset allocations, now live on nuon.fi. This strategic move enhances Nuon’s yield strategies and inflation protection, with IPOR’s industry-leading smart yield optimization delivering superior returns and institutional-grade risk management.

Why IPOR Fusion's USDC Vault?

IPOR is the gold standard for on-chain interest rate markets, offering unmatched efficiency, transparency, and reliability. The IPOR Fusion USDC Optimizer, available on Base, automatically allocates capital across top lending protocols, maximizing yields while minimizing risk. By integrating this solution, Nuon ensures:

• Higher, more stable yields in nearly all market conditions.
• Complete liquidity and reduced exposure to volatile DeFi rates.
• Enhanced capital efficiency and diversification of Nuon’s asset portfolio.

The Fusion USDC Vault, recently released on Base, optimizes asset allocation across premier money markers and dynamically adjusts to maximize returns. It takes into account market liquidity, APYs, and even gas costs. The Optimizer Vault leverages rate arbitrage and automatically compounds token rewards, leading to an optimized and above-market APY. Despite being relatively new, the IPOR Fusion Vault on Base already has nearly $1.5m TVL, and Nuon Finance is one of the first products built on top of it.
