**
- Executive Summary**
T3tris is live on Arbitrum One and has passed the TVL targets of this grant. The grant financed the last stretch of V1 development and pre-audit hardening. Without it, the launch on Arbitrum would have slipped further.
What T3tris is:
T3tris is a zero fee, permissionless vault infrastructure.
Any curator can deploy a vault, onboard depositors, and run any strategy, onchain or offchain (CEX, OTC, RWA). Vaults are ERC-4626 by default and can switch to an asynchronous ERC-7540 flow when the strategy needs delayed settlement. Zero curator fees. The protocol earns by routing idle capital, during settlement windows, to a money market.
What was achieved:
V1 deployed on Arbitrum One mainnet in July 2026: permissionless vault creation, deposits, withdrawals and settlement working end to end.
Deployed on Robinhood chain in July 2026
Around $12.8M TVL on Arbitrum One after roughly two months live and around $813k on Robinhood chain.
15 active vaults and 64 vaults created so far. 70+ curators in the pipeline.
Top three at the Arbitrum Mentorship Program Demo Day.
T3tris V1 was audited by Cyfrin through the Arbitrum Audit Program, with a manual audit and formal verification, and the performance fee logic was formally verified by VerityLabs. The code was also stress-tested with a dozen AI-assisted security tools, including Zerocool, Zellic, Guardian, Chainsecurity, Nethermind, Test machine, Code machine, Greptile, Pashov…
Impact of this grant:
Impact was huge for us, it funds our next hire: one additional team member, who already delivered the public Dune dashboard and works across the company.
Business development; converting our pipeline of 70+ curators into live vaults on Arbitrum, and onboarding each curator through to their first vault.
Product; Improving the UX and UI for depositors and curators
Social media and communication; Publishing articles and regular updates.
T3tris is bootstrapped, so every hire comes out of runway. The grant removes that trade-off. The DAO paid for results already delivered, and the money goes back into growing TVL and curators on Arbitrum.
2. Performance Against KPIs
The TVL and vault KPIs of all three milestones were exceeded. Milestones 1 and 2 were completed at the end of July 2026 and Milestone 3 in September 2026. TVL passed $10M within two months of launch, and as of 30 September 2026 T3tris holds $12,837,940 of TVL on Arbitrum, against targets of $1M for Milestone 1 and $5M to $10M for Milestone 2.
Including Robinhood Chain, which holds $813,535, total TVL is $13,651,475. A total of 61 vaults have been created and 15 are active with deposits, against targets of 3 independent vaults for Milestone 1 and 5 active vaults for Milestone 2. These vaults are run by 13 distinct curators, against targets of 2 for Milestone 1 and 5 for Milestone 2.
The public dashboard required by Milestone 3 is live at T3tris Finance | Dune & https://defillama.com/protocol/t3tris-finance and tracks vaults, curators, TVL and idle-capital routing. TVL is concentrated in the two lead curators, Gami and Ellen Capital, at 96.7% of Arbitrum TVL, which is expected at this stage. This report is the Milestone 3 deliverable. Idle capital; 0.95% of TVL was routed through the idle-capital module on average, against a 5% assumption in the application.
3. Qualitative Impact & Community Feedback
Most significant outcome; curators are choosing Arbitrum as their deployment venue because the infrastructure removes their operational work, not because of incentives. No token, no liquidity mining. TVL on T3tris is there because curators run real strategies through it.
Deployment on the Robinhood chain with the integration of the Steakhouse’s Morpho vault for the idle fund.
Partner ecosystem; 13 partnerships signed with infrastructure providers curators need to operate: custody, monitoring, NAV, legal. Hypernative, Fordefi, Zodia, 1Token, Syncrone, Octav, Credora/RedStone, Rekord, DLT Law, Trenches, PennyWorks, Zodiac, ZyFi. Way more to come.
Recognition; top three at the Arbitrum Mentorship Program Demo Day & 1st place Bankr Grand Prize at Runtime Agent Week.
4. Financial Summary
The grant was disbursed after launch, once T3tris had passed $10M TVL on Arbitrum, so it did not fund the build. The funds went to two things. First, we hired one additional team member, who built our public Dune dashboard and supports business development, product UX and UI, and social media. Second, we paid for additional AI-assisted security audits of the protocol, on top of those completed before launch. This differs from the original budget, which allocated the grant to pre-launch development and a pre-audit code review.
5. Future Plans & Continued Ecosystem Alignment
-
V2 leverage layer; curators deploy a money market that takes their vault shares as collateral, so depositors can take leverage on curator strategies.
-
Instant withdrawals on async vaults. A liquidity buffer that lets depositors exit asynchronous vaults without waiting for settlement.
-
Hybrid vault standard; formalize the ERC-4626 default plus asynchronous mode as an ERC proposal.
6. Additional Remarks
Thank you
We want to thank Chilla, NDW and the whole Arbitrum team for the trust you placed in T3tris and for the support you gave us throughout.
NDW, your questions during the review pushed us to sharpen how we explain T3tris and to turn our milestones into clear, measurable KPIs. That rigor made the project better, and it is the reason this report can show results instead of intentions.
To the wider Arbitrum team, thank you for backing a small bootstrapped team at the stage where it matters most. The Audit Grant Program, the Mentorship Program and Demo Day and the work to put us in front of the Robinhood Chain team all moved us forward faster than we could have gone alone. Thank you also to the delegates and to the DAO for funding a program that pays for delivered results.
We are proud to build on Arbitrum. We will keep showing that the trust was well placed.
