How teams are shipping yield, lending, and trading on top of Compass — and the engineering decisions behind the API.
Compass Labs x Midas: Bringing Real-World Wealth to the Autonomous AI Agent Economy
Compass Labs announces its official integration with Midas — bringing mTBILL (Tokenized U.S. Treasuries), mBASIS (market-neutral crypto yield), and mBTC (yield on Bitcoin) natively into the Compass infrastructure.
Compass x Para: The Trust Chasm in Agentic Finance (and How We Bridged It)
Compass MCP gives an AI agent the hands to execute across yield, credit, perps, and tokenized stocks. Para's policy engine gives it guardrails enforced at the signing layer. Together: the agent moves the money, you set the rules, and any transaction outside policy is refused before it is ever signed.
What an on-chain financial API actually does
A primer on the on-chain financial API — one interface for yield, lending, trading, tokenised assets, and the risk data underneath. You call an endpoint, you get back a ready-to-sign transaction, your user signs it. Plaid, but for DeFi.
Why AI agents need a financial API
AI agents are starting to move real value. What they need to do it safely: a surface built for machines to read, and a non-custodial model where the agent prepares a transaction but only the user's own signer can authorise it.
Why tokenised assets need one API
Tokenised assets are not one market — equities, treasuries, commodities, and private credit each have their own issuers and rails. A unified RWA layer puts all of them behind one non-custodial endpoint, so embedding a tokenised stock is no harder than embedding a yield product.
Where your yield actually comes from
A yield number on its own tells you almost nothing. On-chain, the positions are visible — so a risk layer can trace any vault or wallet down to its underlying markets, decompose the yield, and stress-test the downside, all from one API call.
