Terminal Finance

Terminal Finance is a spot DEX designed for trading yield-bearing stablecoins and institutional assets, initially built to be Converge chain's liquidity hub. The project raised significant pre-deposits (~$280M across vaults) but announced in November 2025 they won't be launching as originally planned due to Converge chain never going live. They've since pivoted to becoming Ethena's liquidity hub, focusing on USDe/USDtb trading pairs. While the technical vision is sound and they've partnered with established protocols (Ethena, Pendle, EtherFi), the project lacks token information and clear mainnet timeline post-pivot.

Green flags: Strong institutional focus with BlackRock BUIDL integration and compliant asset trading · Significant early traction with $280M in pre-deposits before pivot · Partnerships with established DeFi protocols (Ethena, Pendle, EtherFi, Morpho) · Technical differentiation for yield-bearing asset trading infrastructure

Red flags: Major pivot announced in November 2025 after original chain (Converge) failed to launch · No clear mainnet launch date post-pivot despite completed codebase · No token information disclosed despite being DeFi infrastructure · Uncertain deployment timeline creates execution risk

The claim portal for the sUSDe yield generated between June and September is now live. Users can claim their pro-rata share of the underlying yield here: https://t.co/Voib6a56x6

We’re preparing the redistribution of the sUSDe yield generated between June and September. A total of ~$2.8M was accrued over this period. This figure may slightly adjust as we finalize third-party administrative costs. The distribution will be claimable through a dedicated mechanism we’re currently working on, and will be allocated pro-rata to each user’s tUSDe exposure during that period — whether through direct deposits or YT purchases, not based on the number of Roots. More details soon.

It’s with a heavy heart that we announce we won’t be launching Terminal. Why we made this decision Terminal was originally designed to be @convergeonchain liquidity hub. We completed the full codebase and were ready for a Q1 2025 launch. However, the Converge chain never went live as expected, and a launch doesn’t appear to be planned for the near future. This left us with deposits and a fully built protocol, but without the ecosystem it was designed for. We explored multiple pivots but none were compelling enough. Each option came with material blockers: limited support, low asset-onboarding potential, weak long-term perspective among others. Ultimately, we were not convinced that any of these paths would lead to a successful long-term project. Launching a project just to launch a project goes against our principles. Preserving integrity is paramount. To Roots holders All principal is preserved, and all user deposits remain backed 1:1. Participants are able to withdraw their deposits 1:1. Each current Pendle position is entitled to the Ethena Sats earned, the sUSDe yield associated with it, as well as etherfi points. A tough call To our supporters, LPs, ambassadors— we’re sorry. This is a difficult decision, and we know it’s painful for everyone. We are all losing something today. But we believe this is the most honest and responsible path forward. We will open-source the fully audited protocol codebase. Terminal was designed as a MetaDEX with a novel mechanism to address yield-derived impermanent-loss and reinject yield to bribe markets, improving the model economics by default. Thank you for being with us on this journey.

Ethena now spans ~$10B in TVL across 2 core products (USDe & USDtb backed by BlackRock BUIDL) & 10+ chains. Such an ecosystem needs its own trading venue, a unified exchange for reward-bearing stablecoins and institutional assets. Terminal: Becoming the Ethena Liquidity Hub https://t.co/l9XHBJjHPi

Amid recent DeFi events, all Terminal pre-deposit funds remain idle and available in their vaults. sUSDe yield distribution for Pendle LP & YT holders will be completed this Friday. More details soon on the DEX deployment transition.
