This month, we continued development for our yield strategies, following Stablecoin yields, we expanded into Bitcoin yields. We initiated BTC LP hedging bots, backtested yield strategies, and expanded vault tracking across Beets, Aerodrome, Silo, and Hyperliquid. Data pipelines were tightened, subgraphs deployed, and portfolio metrics brought into sync. Additionally, we introduced a new focus for robotics, 5.country.
We are building general-purpose robots for human touch. Our 2025 focus is 24-degree fingers with 1-μm neuromorphic sensors for leg massage. Most robots avoid skin contact, while we know fingers are the most versatile and generalizable interface. Machine intelligence is already achieved digitally, yet we crave experiences in the physical world – from improving athletic performance and maintaining youthful agility to the simple warmth of a firm handshake.
Key innovations include tactile feedback and real-time adaptation: joint position sensing, dexterous grasping, impact resilience. Proception.AI:
Control system - learning from experience: real-time response, AI-powered adaptation, precision control, multi-mode operation.
Sensors & feedback - autonomous operation in real-world scenarios: high-resolution touch sensors, force feedback, position tracking, environmental awareness.
Week of May 1st
The first week saw strong progress on DeFi analytics, vault tooling, and protocol upgrades. Aaron improved funding rate tools, Frank advanced vePendle tracking, and Gheis led testnet upgrade prep. In the community, Crypto_Land_DAO used marketplace funds to buy back depegged assets, FlappyH1 rewarded their users with a weekly airdrop, TecViva highlighted an LP auto-compounder, and Stephen shared a deep dive of Buffet’s Yen Carry trade.
Top 3 Team Progress
Aaron refined the funding rate tracker across exchanges and implemented batch analysis tools, resolving key API and data issues for more accurate yield insights.
Frank developed scripts to track vePendle boosts cross-chain and optimized APR/APY calculations for Beefy vaults, despite limited capacity due to illness.
Gheis led diagnostics of P2P stream issues and coordinated a partial testnet rollout to validate the next Harmony release under real-world conditions
Week of May 8th
This week, the team saw advances in funding rate arbitrage, BTC vault analytics, and exit contract integrations. Aaron and Theo refined cross-platform exit tooling and arbitrage strategies, while Frank, Artem, and Rikako improved support for BTC vaults across Beefy, SwapX, and Pendle. On the protocol side, the team progressed toward the v2025.1.0 release with key fixes and dashboard upgrades. In the community, Crypto_Land_DAO enabled cross-chain BTC bridging, Recovery One shared its latest burn report, and HarmonyBull reminded users that staking rewards are now averaging over 10%.
Top 3 Team Progress
Aaron finalized emergency exit contract logic across Pendle, Euler, Beefy, and Penpie, integrating platform compatibility and smart contract structure.
Theo launched funding rate arbitrage strategies across new perpetual platforms and built tooling to automate opportunity discovery.
Gheis overhauled P2P networking, fixing stream reliability and removing legacy muxers to improve node stability and interoperability.
Blue To Fly celebrates the metamorphosis of selves, families, & communities.💙
The team spent this week sharpening strategies across yield, vault tracking, and protocol stability. Aaron pushed forward on funding rate bots and exit simulations, while Frank and Rikako expanded vault analytics across Beets, Silo, and Aerodrome. Gheis delivered major improvements to stream lifecycle handling and P2P logic.
On X, the community highlighted new $RUG staking rewards from Crypto_Land_DAO, celebrated another Flap & Earn winner, and continued to uplift Harmony through RMC and TecViva. Stephen also shared research on robotic dexterity from Proception.ai.
Top 3 Team Progress
Aaron ran end-to-end simulations for exit contract execution, set up trading bot logic tied to live funding rates, and refined platform integrations.
Frank built out accurate APR logic for Beets pools and integrated Balancer V3 positions into the Harmony tracking suite.
Gheis resolved stream concurrency and gater logic in P2P networking, improving stability and lifecycle reliability across nodes.
May closed out with strides in LP strategy development, backtesting infrastructure, and protocol ops. Frank, Aaron, and Artem deepened our BTC LP + perps hedging logic, while Rikako and Yuriy advanced Hyperliquid simulations and vault analytics. Gheis rolled out improved observability tools, and Ulad finalized the v2025.1.1 release.
On X, the community celebrated new staking rewards via High Stakes, $uONE utility with UtilityDAO, and continued discussions on robotic dexterity and prehension.
Top 3 Progress
Frank built a Uniswap V3 LP backtesting engine, integrated position tracking for Hyperliquid, and added dual-reward APR logic for Beets pools.
Gheis improved P2P observability with new Prometheus metrics, fixed cross-shard sync logic, and cleaned up lingering resource issues in the stream layer.
Artem launched a portfolio manager for BTC LP + perps strategies and helped debug Aerodrome integration while coordinating implementation across the team.
Conclusion
As May wraps, our teams pushed forward on every frontier—refining BTC yield strategies, expanding vault analytics, and stabilizing core protocol operations. From Uniswap V3 backtests to funding rate bots, we’re aligning infrastructure with intelligence to deliver seamless, risk-adjusted DeFi yields. Observability upgrades, exit contract rollouts, and dashboard syncing brought the protocol closer to its v2025.1.1 vision.
Meanwhile, 5.country signals a bold new direction—blending soft robotics, neuromorphic sensors, and dexterous control to reimagine how machines interact with the human body. From vaults to fingertips, Harmony continues to build across the full spectrum of digital and physical experience.
