End-to-End Protocol Supports Multi-Token Integration via Ethereum, Polygon
Vesto, a comprehensive, multi-token protocol for decentralized financial services (DeFi), announced that it has gone live on mainnet. The protocol is facilitating transactions with customers, such as Oldham Global, demonstrating successful integrations after an extensive testing period and security audit review with ChainSecurity.
The mainnet launch allows Vesto to access a larger pool of clients and partners and expand its offerings and use cases for the diverse services its protocol affords. The announcement comes on the heels of a partnership with Element Finance to bring DeFi to a wider swath of traditional financial institutions as demands for attractive yields and related neo-banking services increase. Other strategic Vesto partners and licensors include Circle, Yearn, MakerDAO, Onfido, Plaid and FinClusive.

“While we have been successfully onboarding clients and beta testing for a number of months, going live on mainnet is a game changer and we are well placed to continue demonstrating our utility to the ecosystem via our comprehensive suite of services, including white label or a la carte options,” said Christopher McGregor, CEO of Vesto. “This launch represents a turning point and provides validation for our meticulous work in building a comprehensive protocol that offers a truly end-to-end solution for decentralized financial services and countless use cases beyond.”
“We chose to work with Vesto to tap into white labeled solutions that would greatly enhance our financing capabilities and allow us to benefit from DeFi and payment related opportunities, both of which have benefited us and our clients tremendously,” said Bill Oldham, CEO & Co-Founder of Oldham Global, a quasi-family office managing its own funds alongside investors.
