Why We're Betting Big on MakinaFi's Machine Launch

https://makina.finance/

At Sbinala Ventures, we're laser-focused on unlocking unprecedented efficiencies and yields in DeFi. We've been scouring the landscape for protocols that don't just iterate on the status quo but redefine it, blending institutional-grade risk management with on-chain execution. That's why we're thrilled to spotlight the upcoming launch of MakinaFi's "Machines"—their innovative vaults that are set to power the next wave of DeFi strategies.

As a fund deeply embedded in this ecosystem, we're not just observers; we're active participants, and MakinaFi aligns perfectly with our thesis on high risk-adjusted yields. If you've been following the buzz in crypto X you've likely seen the hype building around @makinafi. Their Pre-Launch Machines go live tomorrow, September 29th at 12:00 PM UTC, kicking off Season 0 with a bang. This isn't your average yield farm or passive staking play. Makina is the DeFi Execution Engine, a non-custodial platform designed to empower everyone—from AI agents and yield funds to retail crypto natives and even protocol treasuries—with sophisticated, risk-adjusted strategies executed atomically on-chain.

What Are MakinaFi's Machines?

At its core, Makina reimagines DeFi vaults as "Machines"—smart, strategy-specific containers that automate complex maneuvers like yield farming and delta-neutral hedging. Users deposit assets (ETH, BTC, or USD stables) and receive Machine Tokens (MTs) representing their share. These tokens can be redeemed anytime for the underlying assets plus accrued yields, minus minimal fees.

No more chasing yields manually or sweating over impermanent loss; the Machines handle the heavy lifting with professionals running them.

The Pre-Launch Opportunity: Yield, Points, and Priority Access

MakinaFi's Pre-Launch isn't just a soft open—it's a strategic entry point loaded with incentives. By acquiring MTs starting tomorrow, participants earn in three powerful ways:

1. Base Yield: Immediate returns from the selected Morpho vaults—no lockups, just seamless compounding.

2. Points System: Rack up points redeemable for $MAK tokens at TGE, with multipliers for early movers to reward the bold.

3. Tickets for ICO Priority: Secure your spot in the Initial Coin Offering at a $35M FDV—the same valuation as their $3M angel round led by heavyweights like Bodhi Ventures, Cyber Fund, and Steakhouse Financial.

   
   

This setup is genius for bootstrapping liquidity while aligning incentives across the ecosystem. As @makinafi's recent Spaces and updates have teased, Dialectic Group will be the first Operators of these Machines, bringing institutional rigor to on-chain execution. And with production contracts already deployed (complete with custom Trezor logos for that extra flair), everything's primed for a smooth rollout.

Why Sbinala Ventures goes balls deep

From our vantage at Sbinala, MakinaFi checks every box in our investment playbook. Makina's atomic execution and diversified exposure could capture significant market share — especially as institutions eye on-chain yields without the custody headaches. We've seen too many protocols launch with fanfare but falter on execution. MakinaFi's sustainable fee model, vetted partnerships, and focus on security (think: no exploits, just yields) set them apart. Plus, with $3M already in the tank from top-tier backers, they're not bootstrapping on hype alone. This launch feels like early Yearn or Aave: a foundational layer that scales with the bull.
