Audio By Carbonatix

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar 10, 2026--

Blueprint Finance, a multi-chain DeFi infrastructure company, today announced that its Ethereum-based institutional-grade vault infrastructure, Concrete, has partnered with Theo to power the launch of the thUSD Genesis Vault. This collaboration utilizes Concrete’s advanced vault infrastructure to bootstrap liquidity, deploy capital programmatically, and deliver a transparent on-chain product designed for thUSD, Theo’s yield-bearing stablecoin.

The thUSD Genesis Vault is another evolution of on-chain asset management powered by Concrete. Rather than building custom vault logic from scratch, Theo can deploy its strategy through Concrete’s institutional-grade vault architecture, crafted to support both retail users and professional allocators. By leveraging Concrete’s Earn V2 architecture, the vault provides a secure, transparent, and highly automated environment for depositors to participate in the early liquidity phase of the thUSD ecosystem.

“This is the latest use case demonstrating the power of Concrete’s infrastructure in coordinating complex, institutional-grade financial products,” said Nic Roberts-Huntley, CEO and co-founder of Blueprint Finance. “By providing the underlying infrastructure for allocation, accounting, and security, we are enabling Theo to focus on their core strategy while giving depositors peace of mind through audited, production-grade infrastructure for capital management.”

The thUSD Genesis Vault is built on Concrete’s robust role-based automation framework. This architecture ensures a strict separation of powers between vault managers, allocators, and strategy managers, providing a level of governance and risk management typically reserved for traditional finance. The Genesis Vault allows users to pre-deposit USDC or thBILL across multiple chains, including Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Stable, ensuring that capital is coordinated and ready for deployment immediately upon the official thUSD launch.

By providing the vault layer for products like thUSD, Concrete enables partners to launch novel financial primitives.

The thUSD Pre-Deposit Vault is now live. Deposit USDC or thBILL and participate in the early liquidity phase of the thUSD launch.
