Altura vs Ethena

Altura is an on-chain capital-management protocol on HyperEVM. Its stablecoin vault allocates deposits across multiple DeFi strategies with the goal of producing diversified yield from a single position. The vault abstracts strategy execution and rebalancing for depositors while keeping assets and accounting transparent on-chain.

USDe is Ethena’s synthetic dollar backed by delta‑neutral ETH perpetual hedge positions rather than off‑chain treasuries. The collateral basket auto‑rebalances between spot ETH, LSTs and short perps so the net delta remains near zero, turning staking rewards and funding rates into protocol revenue. USDe launched on Ethereum in January 2024 and surpassed $2 billion supply within five months, with deep secondary liquidity on Curve and Bybit.
