We’re thrilled by the momentum and humbled by the support. These numbers are just the beginning.
Dear R2 Community,
Last Thursday marked a major milestone for us: R2 Protocol is now officially live on testnet.
For many, this might feel like just another product launch. But for our team, it means much more. It’s the first public step toward a vision we’ve been quietly building for months: a yield-powered stablecoin ecosystem that works, transparently, sustainably, and with real-world impact.
Why We Started
When we first started R2, we weren’t chasing hype. In fact, it would’ve been much easier to do something trendy, fast, and forgettable.
But we believed in something harder, that stablecoins could evolve, from passive dollar substitutes to real, yield-bearing financial infrastructure that works for both retail and institutions.
Back then, we didn’t know the exact shape it would take. We spent weeks debating mechanisms, rebuilding models, rejecting ideas we liked, and watching the market shift. It wasn’t always clear. But one thing always was: we wanted to build something that could last.
What We’ve Learned
Over the past few months, we’ve had the chance to sit down with pioneers across the U.S., from Ondo Finance, Superstate, Franklin Templeton, Securitize, DigiFT, Fasanara, and Centrifuge, to L1/L2 teams like Plume, Pharos, Arbitrum, and others, and even custodians like Copper.
The message was clear: RWA is real, and it’s coming faster than most expect. Those conversations didn’t just validate what we were building, they helped sharpen it.
What Makes R2 Different
We chose a harder but clearer path: real-world backed yield only.
R2USD is backed by tokenized U.S. Treasuries, MMFs, and other real-world yield flows, sourced through institutional-grade partners.
We’re currently LPs with Ondo Finance and Supestate, and are onboarding with Securitize, Fasanara, Centrifuge, Franklin Templeton, and DigiFT, helping us scale exposure to high-quality, compliant yield.
What We’ve Built So Far
We started with R2USD, a redeemable, yield-generating stablecoin. Then came sR2USD for staking, and now, R2BTC and R2ETH vaults, crypto-native vaults for real on-chain yield. These aren’t isolated products. They’re modules in a growing system that’s designed to be composable, transparent, and scalable.
Who’s Building It?
We’re a team of 13 across 7 countries, averaging 4+ years in crypto. All of us have shipped real products, and learned real lessons, sometimes the hard way.
Why This Testnet Matters
This testnet is where we prove our design, not just our code.
We created a dual-point system — Signals for product interactions, Pulses for social and ecosystem engagement. It rewards not just clicks, but conviction.
And to our early contributors, users, and supporters: you’re already part of this system. Your conviction is counted, and it matters.
What Comes Next
We’re just getting started.
More chains, more partners, more ways to get involved — for users, investors, and LPs alike.
This isn’t just a product launch. It’s a new foundation for how value moves onchain.
Thanks for being early. Let’s build forward.
— R2 Team.

Funding Round Led by OakStone Ventures to Drive Infrastructure Growth, Real-Time AI Optimization, and Strategic Partnerships Ahead of Solana Launch
Sheridan, Wyoming, 17th Jun 2025 – SparkChain AI, a trailblazer in the Decentralized Physical Infrastructure (DePIN) sector, has successfully raised $10.8 million in a funding round led by OakStone Ventures. This strategic investment will enable the company to scale its decentralized AI compute network, optimize real-time AI processing, and form key partnerships, positioning SparkChain AI as a leading infrastructure layer for the Solana ecosystem and beyond.
Addressing AI Compute Challenges
As artificial intelligence continues to evolve at breakneck speed, the demand for accessible, scalable, and affordable computing resources has surged. Traditional cloud-based systems are increasingly under pressure, suffering from high costs, latency, centralization risks, and inefficient scalability.
SparkChain AI addresses these pain points by harnessing unused internet bandwidth and idle computing resources through its Sovereign Data Rollup architecture. This decentralized model redistributes compute power across a global network of participants, reducing infrastructure costs and making AI computation accessible for developers, enterprises, and researchers alike.
“AI is the new electricity—but only if the infrastructure is open and scalable,” said Ethan Cole, Co-Founder and CEO of SparkChain AI. “This investment allows us to accelerate our mission to unlock real-time AI capabilities through a permissionless, decentralized compute network.”
Investor Confidence in a Decentralized Future
The funding round, led by OakStone Ventures, signals growing confidence in DePIN infrastructure and its role in the future of AI development.
“Centralized cloud providers are no longer sufficient for the pace and scale at which AI is growing,” said Michelle Royston, General Partner at OakStone Ventures. “SparkChain AI is building the foundation for decentralized, intelligent networks where every user can be both a contributor and a beneficiary. We are thrilled to support this new era of compute.”
SparkChain AI’s approach aligns with broader trends toward data sovereignty, edge computing, and modular blockchain infrastructure, all crucial pillars for the next generation of AI-driven applications.
Scaling for the Next Phase
Following this capital injection, SparkChain AI is entering a high-growth phase focused on infrastructure scaling, protocol optimization, and community expansion. With the upcoming launch on Solana, the team is targeting deeper integration with high-performance, low-cost on-chain environments.
Key Initiatives Include:
Global Node Expansion: Grow SparkChain AI decentralized network of contributors to increase aggregate compute power and bandwidth availability.
Real-Time AI Optimization: Deploy protocol-level improvements to support low-latency, high-throughput AI tasks such as inference, data labeling, and synthetic generation.
Security Enhancements: Integrate ZK-proofs, encryption at the edge, and validator slashing mechanisms to protect workloads and ensure data integrity.
Strategic Partnerships: Collaborate with DePIN ecosystems, AI research institutions, and Solana-native dApps to power decentralized compute marketplaces.
About SparkChain AI
SparkChain AI is an AI-powered DePIN rollup that turns idle bandwidth and compute resources into decentralized AI infrastructure. Through a network of nodes, routers, and intelligent data processors, SparkChain AI restructures and monetizes the world’s unstructured data. Participants earn $SPARK tokens by contributing to the network, while developers and enterprises benefit from scalable, low-cost AI compute for training, inference, and data management.
SparkChain AI is pioneering a future where AI development is community-driven, censorship-resistant, and infrastructure-light—unlocking a new era of permissionless intelligence.
