What is Tori Finance?

Tori Finance is a yield protocol that brings institutional-grade, market-neutral yield strategies on-chain. For decades, the best risk-adjusted returns in finance have been locked behind geographic restrictions, accreditation requirements, and million-dollar minimums. Institutional trading desks and money market participants have run these strategies, but access has always been limited to the privileged few. Tori changes that. We’re bringing these time-tested strategies on-chain, making them accessible to anyone, anywhere, with any amount.

Core Products

trUSD

The base synthetic dollarFully backed and audited. Swap anytime.

strUSD

The yield-bearing tokenStake trUSD to earn yield from institutional trading strategies.

​
The Problem We Solve

The stablecoin market exceeds $300 billion, yet most holders earn nothing on their assets. Existing yield options force users to make difficult tradeoffs: Tori offers a different approach: market-neutral strategies that institutional traders have used for decades, now accessible on-chain with full transparency.

​
How Yield Is Generated

Unlike protocols that rely on a single strategy, Tori deploys capital across multiple market-neutral approaches in markets across the globe:

Money Markets

Short-duration instruments in select global markets. Access to institutional money market rates that aren’t typically available to retail participants. This is typically our largest allocation.
Capturing price differences between spot and futures markets. When futures trade at a premium to spot, the spread can be captured as yield. This is one of the oldest arbitrage strategies in finance.
Trading mispricing between different contract expiry dates. Markets often misprice the relationship between near-term and far-term contracts, creating opportunities for risk-adjusted returns.
We continuously evaluate and may add new strategies as opportunities arise. Our strategies are structured to be delta-neutral, with long and short positions designed to offset each other, generating returns from pricing opportunities, not market direction.

​
How It Works

Getting started with Tori takes just a few minutes:
1

Swap

Connect your wallet and swap USDC or USDT for trUSD. No verification required.
2

Stake

Convert trUSD to strUSD with a single transaction. Your position begins accruing yield based on current market conditions.
3

Earn

strUSD accumulates yield automatically. The exchange rate between strUSD and trUSD increases over time as yield is generated.
4

Unstake

When you’re ready to exit, request unstaking. There’s a 7-day cooldown period for liquidity management.
5

Exit

After the cooldown, swap your trUSD back to USDC or USDT.

​
What Makes Tori Different

​
Global Access Without Barriers

Traditional yield strategies require:
  • Accredited investor status
  • $1M+ minimum investments
  • Geographic restrictions
  • Complex fund structures
Tori requires none of this. Anyone with a Web3 wallet can access the same strategies that were previously reserved for institutional investors.

​
True DeFi Composability

Unlike traditional funds that lock up your capital, strUSD is a liquid ERC-20 token that you own and control. This means you can:
  • Use strUSD as collateral in lending protocols
  • Provide liquidity in DEX pools
  • Transfer freely between wallets
  • Integrate into any DeFi application
DeFi integrations are currently in development. See DeFi Integrations for updates.

​
Transparent and Verifiable

Tori’s infrastructure is built for transparency: All reserve data is independently verifiable at any time.

​
Institutional-Grade Custody

All assets are held in institutional-grade custody:
  • On-chain: Audited smart contracts with multi-signature controls
  • Off-chain: Qualified institutional custodians with segregated accounts
  • We only work with established, reputable counterparties
