How You Can Earn The Same DeFi Yield As Institutions

Institutions are no longer coming to DeFi—they’re already here.

But what if you could access the same yield strategies they use?

That’s exactly what Upshift aims to unlock. Built on August’s institutional-grade infrastructure, Upshift is democratizing access to some of the most sought-after DeFi yield strategies. Whether through curated vaults managed by top-performing DeFi funds or secure onchain lending to verified institutional borrowers, Upshift lets everyday users earn the same risk-managed, real yield that’s typically reserved for funds moving billions. Think: non-custodial, transparent, permissionless, and optimized for long-term sustainability, not just degen yield farming.

In this week’s episode of The Edge Podcast, we sit down with the Co-Founder and Co-CEO behind Upshift and August, Aya Kantorovich, to unpack the evolution of institutional DeFi, what needs to happen to onboard the next trillion dollars onchain, and how you can front-run the crowd by earning yield like the pros do.
