Ecosystem & partners - who's building on Concrete

Sourced from Blueprint Finance's own press releases (Business Wire) and concrete.xyz/concretefoundation.xyz. This page tracks institutional integrations, not user-facing tools - see the Tools catalog for those.

The company behind Concrete

Concrete is built by Blueprint Finance, a multi-chain DeFi infrastructure company founded by CEO Nic Roberts-Huntley, that also runs the Solana-based Glow Finance. Blueprint has raised more than $17M to date, including a $9.5M strategic round led by Polychain Capital with participation from Yzi Labs (formerly Binance Labs), VanEck, BitGo, Selini Capital, Portal Ventures, Auros, Halo Capital, Leadblock, Bitpanda Ventures and Gate Ventures. For the founding team's background and details on Glow Finance, see Company & Glow Finance.

Institutional integrations

PartnerWhat it does with Concrete
BitGoBitGo Bank & Trust (OCC-regulated, non-depository trust bank) combines its qualified custody with Concrete's vault architecture, so institutional clients can access vetted DeFi strategies without giving up custodial security or compliance/reporting standards.
FigmentFigment (~$18B in assets under stake, the largest non-custodial ETH and SOL staking provider) partnered with Concrete to give its institutional clients access to Concrete yield strategies for assets like BTC and XRP - extending them beyond plain staking.
Binance WalletConcrete integrated directly with the Binance Wallet ecosystem, letting Binance Wallet users access institutional-grade USDT yield strategies from inside their native wallet interface.
Theo (thUSD)Theo partnered with Concrete to launch the thUSD Genesis Vault, using Concrete's Earn V2 architecture to bootstrap liquidity and deploy capital programmatically for thUSD, Theo's yield-bearing stablecoin - rather than Theo building custom vault logic from scratch.

Why this matters for depositors

None of these partnerships change how a deposit works for you (see Getting started) - they're plumbing that brings more capital and more institutional users into the same vaults retail depositors use. They're also a reasonable signal of due diligence: regulated custodians and large staking providers don't integrate without their own compliance review. That said, more TVL and more integrations do not remove smart-contract, strategy or market risk - see Risks.

Verifying a partnership claim

  • Check Blueprint Finance's press releases on Business Wire, or concrete.xyz/news, before trusting a third-party post about a new integration.
  • Not sure if a link is really concrete.xyz? Paste it into the "Is this official?" checker before connecting a wallet.
  • An institutional partnership announcement is not the same as a $CT token listing or airdrop - see Points & rewards and the CT Token verification card on the Wallet Tracker for that.
  • This page is community-maintained and may lag real announcements; concrete.xyz/ecosystem is the canonical source.
