The Moonshots Program is a strategic initiative designed to identify, fund, and incubate high-impact finance projects on-chain. Its goal is to connect traditional finance with blockchain infrastructure.
The Moonshots Program is structured around several pillars that combine direct funding, project incubation, and critical infrastructure enablement. The overall goal is to accelerate the development of DeFi and on-chain capital market solutions, prioritizing use cases with real-world adoption potential and operational scalability.
One pillar focuses on early-stage, low-capitalization teams with models that can grow rapidly. In this segment, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) exemplifies the high-growth tokenomic schemes the initiative seeks to promote, investing in projects capable of scaling quickly with initial capital and technical support.
Another pillar focuses on institutional-level DeFi products, with the explicit intention of eliminating security barriers and operational friction. Within this framework, integrations such as the partnership between Lotus Finance and Native to deploy BTC-centric strategies on Sui, as well as the integration of Fireblocks with Stacks, illustrate the type of alliances the program aims to foster to attract institutional capital.
How Moonshots drives decentralized finance
The integration of real-world assets (RWAs) is a central objective of the program. Tokenization initiatives, such as Ondo Finance’s launch of tokenized US stocks and ETFs in Europe in collaboration with Blockchain.com, are highlighted as models for bringing regulated financial products to the on-chain environment in a structured and compliant manner.
In parallel, the program also promotes AI-enabled decentralized finance, referred to in the materials as DeFAI. Collaborations such as PlutonAI with SentismAI and platforms like DeepSnitch AI exemplify autonomous or advanced analytics-based strategies that aim to optimize financial decisions, reduce human friction, and enable new operating models within the DeFi ecosystem.
From an infrastructure perspective, the initiative focuses on scalability, interoperability, and oracle services. Chainlink is mentioned as a core oracle layer upon which the program is built, while Sui Network’s privacy tools and the use of zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs are highlighted as key mechanisms for delivering compliant confidentiality.
Finally, regulation and compliance are addressed as practical constraints that must be integrated by design, not as afterthoughts. The program emphasizes technical controls, partnership models, and compliance-compliant privacy tools to facilitate institutional entry.
