Sentora has launched curated vaults on the Stellar network, now accessible via the Stellar DeFi Hub operated by Ultrastellar and through yield.xyz. This marks Sentora's first integration with Stellar, bringing institutional-grade DeFi infrastructure to a network known for payments and asset tokenization.
Expanding Stellar's DeFi Ecosystem
Stellar has traditionally focused on payments, remittances, and asset issuance, but its DeFi ecosystem has grown rapidly since smart contracts launched in 2024. Total value locked on Stellar increased roughly 230% year-over-year, driven by lending protocols like Blend and Templar, tokenized real-world assets, and liquidity infrastructure such as Aquarius. As of June 2026, Stellar's RWA market capitalization, excluding stablecoins, surpassed $3 billion, ranking it among the leading blockchains for tokenized real-world assets.
Institutional-Grade Vault Infrastructure
Sentora's platform provides vault curation, risk management, deployment parameters, and policy enforcement tailored for institutions and fintechs. The company has nearly $2 billion allocated across its public vault ecosystem and partners with institutions including Kraken and Morpho. The roadmap includes additional vault strategies spanning DeFi and RWAs, with deeper integration across the Stellar DeFi ecosystem.
Industry Support and Vision
Raja Chakravorti, Chief Business Officer of the Stellar Development Foundation, noted that Stellar offers payment rails, tokenization tools, and DeFi primitives needed for real-world financial products, and Sentora's vaults increase access for institutions and fintechs. Anthony DeMartino, Co-Founder and CEO of Sentora, emphasized that institutions need transparency, operational controls, and infrastructure for large-scale capital, and Stellar provides that foundation. The vaults are now live and can be accessed via the Stellar DeFi Hub.
