The ETF-Native Blockchain
Building on Our Foundation
Our goal is to create a blockchain that combine automation, AI, and interoperability — a chain designed for the next generation of decentralized applications.
That vision remains at the core of everything we do. What’s new today is the next step forward: Helios as the ETF-native blockchain.
By making ETFs, stables, and RWAs on-chain primitives, Helios extends its foundation of interchain automation and reputation-based consensus into a model that unifies liquidity and brings real-world scale to Web3.
From Fragmentation to Portfolios
Crypto today is fragmented. Liquidity is scattered across tokens, chains, and apps. Retail users chase single assets, while institutions hesitate because there’s no simple way to own the market.
Helios fixes this by making portfolios the base layer:
- Stake ETH, BTC, BNB, AVAX, MATIC, stables, or RWAs.
- Receive liquid ETF tokens that represent diversified baskets.
- Let Chronos AI rebalance allocations and distribute profits like dividends.
- Bridge portfolios across ecosystems with Hyperion for trading, collateral, and DeFi use.
Just like ETFs transformed TradFi by making investing simple, Helios ETFs aim to onboard the next wave of users into DeFi.
Momentum: Growth, Ecosystem & Partnerships
Helios is already showing strong traction:
Testnet traction so far:
- 3.5M+ wallets registered
- 15M+ transactions executed
- 25+ projects deployed
- 400k swaps completed
- $42.9M bridged (including 10k ETH, 5k BNB, and 2k AVAX equivalents testnet TVL)
Ecosystem growth:
The Helios ecosystem is expanding rapidly with projects like Lunari Swap, alongside many more builders (full list on the ecosystem page). From DeFi to governance to AI tooling, apps are already launching to leverage Helios’s ETF-native infrastructure.
Key partnerships:
- Alibaba Cloud — startup program for Helios infrastructure
- Phala Network — trusted execution environments for AI and security
- TEN Protocol — privacy for EVM
- Orochi Network — with a grant from the Ethereum Foundation
- Billions KYC — ensuring verified participation in airdrops
These collaborations and deployments reinforce the core vision while accelerating the ETF-native direction.
The Road Ahead
With ETFs, stables, and RWAs as native primitives, Helios is building infrastructure for decentralized portfolios:
- Diversified by design
- AI-governed for balance and yield
- Cross-chain and institution-ready
Automation and interchain consensus brought us here. ETFs will take us further.
