What is Helios?

Helios is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain with a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, enabling developers to build decentralized, programmable, and automated portfolio products.

Key Objectives:

• Scalability: Support high transaction throughput (TPS)

• Security: Ensure network safety through cryptographic methods

• Decentralization: Maintain a distributed network without central authority

• Eco-Friendly: Low energy consumption via PoS

How Helios Works

• Execution Layer: Runs smart contracts and portfolio operations.

• Automation Layer: Handles rebalancing, periodic buys, and conditional operations automatically.

• Cross-Chain Layer: Enables direct interaction with assets and protocols on other blockchains.

Developers create tokenized portfolios with predefined rules. Users can enter or exit portfolios, while asset allocations update automatically.

HLS Ecosystem User Journey

• Bridge Assets: Transfer ETH, BTC, BNB, AVAX, and others to Helios as ETF collateral.

• Create or Join ETFs: Select thematic baskets or build your own; AI manages strategy.

• Govern & Vote: Voting on asset weights, composition, and policies.

• Earn Yield: Rebalancing and distributions automatically return to users via Chronos.

Team & Founders

• Frederick Marinho – Co-Founder & CEO

• Jeremy Guyet – Co-Founder & CTO

• Jordan Karuk – Head of Business Development

• Cristian Alexandrescu – CMO

Governance

Helios targets on-chain governance with HLS token holders voting on network proposals. Voting power is proportional to token holdings or staking. Decisions cover fees, consensus changes, new features, and treasury usage.

Coinbase Asset Management stated that the new fund addresses the growing demand from institutions seeking Bitcoin yields. Backed by several major investors including Aspen Digital, a digital asset manager regulated by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority in Abu Dhabi, the fund promises solid support.

Enabling Passive Income on Bitcoin

The fund’s yield will be generated through a “cash-and-carry” strategy that capitalizes on the price differences between spot Bitcoin and derivatives. Unlike Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) holders who can earn passive income via staking, Bitcoin holders have historically lacked such opportunities — a gap this fund aims to bridge.

“Bitcoin yield funds have emerged to address this limitation, but typically require institutional investors to take on significant investment and operational risk,” Coinbase said in the announcement.

Lower Risk, Wider Access for Institutions

The Coinbase Bitcoin Yield Fund aims to lower the investment and operational risks commonly associated with Bitcoin yield products, aligning more closely with institutional investors’ risk appetites. This move could open up new passive income opportunities through Bitcoin for a wider group of institutional clients.
