The wall between traditional finance and crypto is basically gone. Think about it. As these worlds merge, how are you actually going to manage those portfolios? The answer is definitely NOT going to be tracking dozens of loose tokens inside a browser extension🤔

Quick summary from our last WENSday yesterday👇 → Product & Development: Delta Rebalancing audit is expected to close this Friday, with SolidProof wrapping the final gate before mainnet promotion. Gauge voting also went live on Monday as planned, moving Alvara off Snapshot and onto an in house backend with partial voting, replay protection, configurable round duration, MongoDB storage, ETH side basket reads and a full voting UI integrated end to end. Yield aware EVM updates also landed, with weighted APY now computed through the API and sortable directly on the leaderboard. Static analysis reports were added to the Delta branch, MCP OHLCV windowing was fixed, the Q2 roadmap was updated, and MCP server, yield token inclusion and Alvara DAO v2 are now marked complete. → BD & Partnerships: BD is staying focused on the ongoing TVL raise this week, with high level capital conversations still moving forward at the pace these things usually require. Recent outreach has also opened up new integration opportunities, with the team exploring a few promising paths that cannot be named yet. More good news to come.

The migration from Snapshot is complete and our native gauge voting infrastructure is live 🤝 The new backend handles everything natively with zero third party dependencies. Gasless voting via veALVA is officially open🧺

A fresh batch of strategies found a BSKT format this week 👀 Build yours → app.alvara.xyz 🧺

Asset management used to be a closed club. But you don't need institutional backing to structure a fund anymore. ERC 7621 allows anyone to deploy complex multi asset structures natively onchain 🧠 Times are changing. The monopoly couldn’t last forever. You are the fund manager now → app.alvara.xyz

The fatal flaw in fund management is handing your actual capital over to a third party. Alvara separates the strategy from the custody completely. The manager dictates the asset weights but they never actually touch the underlying tokens 🧺 Your exposure is strictly market risk instead of counterparty risk. Build your first non custodial BSKT → app.alvara.xyz

Yield bearing baskets are live. You can now build BSKTs around value accruing yield assets with live APY shown directly in the dapp 👇 Liquid staking and savings assets are selectable directly in the BSKT Lab. You can search and add them without needing to paste contract addresses. Each yield asset shows its current live APY in the picker. Every basket displays a blended yield on the basket page and the Explore leaderboard weighted by allocation. These assets accrue yield through a rising exchange rate instead of a rebasing balance so the value compounds inside the basket without breaking vault accounting. A basket weighted toward a staking asset tracks the underlying price while capturing yield the entire time. The yield is baked directly into the NAV. We are also building a live counter showing the cumulative yield your basket has accrued since the initial deposit 👀 Build a BSKT 🧺 → app.alvara.xyz

The next step for the protocol is taking full ownership of our voting infrastructure. We are moving Gauge Weight Voting from Snapshot to a bespoke application hosted directly on the Alvara platform. Having absolute control over the voting environment allows us to eliminate third party reliance and provide a much smoother interaction for everyone participating. The core functionality and the way you earn rewards will not change at all. The team needs a brief window to execute this migration. We are pausing the gauge weight vote for this coming Monday May 18th. Everything comes back online for the vote on Monday May 25th. To make up for the paused week we will double the emission rewards for the May 25th vote 🧺

Last WENSday, recapped, in case you missed it👇 → Product & Development: Alvara’s Solana MVP is now submitted, with the Anchor program live on mainnet, with Token 2022 LP mints, Jupiter v6 CPI swaps, yield aware UI, manager claim flow and backend support for analytics plus MEV resistance. The MCP server shipped with the submission too, making Alvara the first basket protocol on Solana built for agentic management 👀 Outside Solana, yield APY UI polish landed on the EVM frontend while Delta Rebalancing and Create BSKT from Portfolio continue through testing and final audit steps. → BD & Partnerships: The Solana Colosseum submission is now being used as a live proof point in Foundation level conversations, especially around grants and ecosystem alignment. BD has also expanded outreach beyond KOLs and LPs into digital asset fund managers, DAO treasury operators and family offices running crypto strategies. The core KOL and LP pipeline continues as before, with the new fund manager lane added on top rather than replacing anything. Catch more weekly updates in the Basement → t.me/alvaraprotocol 🧺

$ALVA is a sleeper and not for long. Real tech, strong team, actual incentive. Defi Baskets 🧺 - @AlvaraProtocol

Building a multi token fund does not require an esoteric skill set. Watch how fast you can deploy a custom strategy directly onchain 🧺 → app.alvara.xyz

A quick recap of our last WENSday 👇 → Product & Development: Solana took center stage this week, clearing its internal pre publication audit. All findings were remediated. Delta Rebalancing audit findings are fixed, MCP got more multi chain hardening, and Tron contracts plus mainnet deploy scripts are complete. → Marketing & Community: The main stories are Solana audit transparency and the new yield aware basket UI. Content is being built around a plain English audit breakdown, a short walkthrough of creating a yield based Solana basket, and a Delta whitepaper aimed at more serious allocators. Town Hall planning is underway with audit walkthrough, yield UI demo, and multi chain Q&A on the menu. → BD & Partnerships: BD stayed focused on the same core tracks: prominent KOL conversations, institutional grade LP outreach, and Solana ecosystem alignment. These deals take time to structure but the team is working through the details while the broader market backdrop improves. Join the Basement to get first updates live → t.me/alvaraprotocol

The top BSKTs setting the pace this week 🧺 Time to build yours -> app.alvara.xyz

From agent infrastructure to liquidity to multi chain expansion and efficient rebalancing, the platform is moving toward a smoother, more flexible system 🧺 More good updates to come 👀 A bit from our last Townhall meet 👇

Instead of gambling on volatile AI meme tokens target the decentralized oracles and compute networks supplying the data. Group them into one BSKT 🧠 Build your AI data BSKT -> app.alvara.xyz

Expanding liquidity means expanding what can actually go into a BSKT. More sources, more assets, more flexibility 🧺

What actually mattered at @ParisBlockWeek? Our CMO @natalieomarsan sat down with @Flight3official to cut through the timeline and discuss the real highlights 👇

Alvara becomes the first basket protocol that any AI can natively manage 🤖 The BSKT Lab MCP Server is now live 🧺 any AI agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, autonomous agents or anything MCP compatible) can now plug directly into the Alvara protocol. Agents pull live basket data, build rebalances and prepare contributions and redemptions through a standard interface. The server returns unsigned transactions. The agent's own wallet signs and submits. Full autonomy where you want it and direct user oversight where you don't. The MCP never holds keys. Open source. You can host it yourself. Docs cover the overview, Claude Desktop and Cursor setup, full tool reference and example prompts to start building today 👇 -> docs.alvara.xyz/agents/overv…

"AI makes scale cheap but hard to trust. Crypto can restore trust at scale" TradFi is never going to let an AI open an account or manage a portfolio. If agents are going to allocate capital they would have to do it onchain. This is why we are actively building the framework for AI to plug straight into BSKT Lab so they can manage BSKTs permissionlessly 🧺
