R25 to Upgrade to 2.0 With Open Vault Infrastructure as a Service

R25 said it will upgrade to version 2.0 and open its previously closed infrastructure to a broader ecosystem, positioning it as Vault Infrastructure as a Service for asset managers, traders, quant teams, and emerging portfolio managers. The company said the service will provide one-stop Vault deployment, operations, and scaling. According to Foresight News, the main change is a shift in issuance barriers, as qualified asset managers will be able to configure, deploy, and operate Vault smart contracts in minutes using natural language. R25 2.0 will support strategies built from more than 2,000 on-chain assets across RWA, crypto, and DeFi, while maintaining institutional transparency and risk controls. It will also offer one-click Vault deployment and AI backtesting, and connect to a global on-chain capital network that links custodians, exchanges, wallets, fintech and neobank platforms, and crypto-native investors. Asset managers will only need to define strategy, fees, and risk parameters, while contract deployment, asset access, NAV calculation, and capital distribution will be handled by R25's modular infrastructure. The open architecture is based on validation from R25 1.0, whose curator lineup includes Axil, Raffaello, and Ember Protocol. Axil's private credit Vault reached a TVL of $130 million after launch. R25 said the production-grade infrastructure supporting these Vaults includes a modular Vault architecture, asynchronous deposits and withdrawals, standardized NAV and portfolio accounting, on-chain strategy management and execution, configurable fees and risk management, and multiple security audits. R25 2.0 is expected to launch in Q4 2026.
