New York — Axal, the fintech startup backed by a16z CSX and CMT Digital, is bringing onchain yield to the global mainstream with the launch of the Axal mobile app, available today. In partnership with MoonPay, Axal is making decentralized finance feel as simple—and safe—as opening a savings app.
The new mobile experience allows anyone to allocate funds into a diversified portfolio of stablecoin yield strategies with a single tap. These strategies, built on top of vetted DeFi protocols, generate approximately 6–10% APY—without the friction typically associated with onchain finance.
No gas fees. No complex transactions. No manual steps. Just yield.
“Most money today sits idle in low-interest accounts. With the Axal app, users can finally earn meaningful interest through what essentially functions like a low-risk, stablecoin money market account.”
Mobile-First Simplicity, Onchain Power
The mobile app mirrors the clean, automated experience of Axal Yield on desktop. Every deposit activates a TEE-protected smart account, enforcing strict signing policies and enabling secure, batched execution under the hood. Users never interact with gas, key management, or transaction approvals—Axal’s automation engine handles it all.
In the background, Axal’s system continuously reallocates, rebalances, and optimizes strategies in real time, monitoring yields and risk exposure across leading protocols from a single, unified interface.
Through MoonPay’s Virtual Accounts, powered by its stablecoin infrastructure arm Iron, users can deposit funds seamlessly via ACH or bank transfer. Incoming USDC is automatically directed into Axal’s yield engine, beginning to earn immediately.
