Aquarius introduces the Soroban Yield Bridge, enabling Stellar users to earn yields from Ethereum-based assets like stETH and Aave tokens directly on Stellar. The non-custodial bridge launches with five assets and uses Reflector oracles for real-time synchronization.
Jason from Aquarius presented the Soroban Yield Bridge, a new product launching as an SCF application. The bridge enables Stellar network users to earn yield on Ethereum-based assets without leaving Stellar. Initial assets include ETH for cross-chain bridging, stETH from Lido protocol staking, and AUSDC, AUSDT, and AWBTC from Aave's lending protocol. The bridge uses Soroban smart contracts to create non-custodial bridges and automate asset minting and burning. Reflector oracles provide real-time data synchronization between Ethereum and Stellar, updating yields in users' wallets. Users deposit assets through a simple flow, receive Soroban tokens, and can use them across Stellar DeFi protocols like Aquarius AMMs and Blend. Aquarius also announced its Soroban-based AMMs entered beta testing on Testnet with mainnet launch expected in weeks.
