The official compensation application window is open for three months.At the same time, Resolv announced the launch of a new business line called "Vault Street," managed by the Resolv Foundation, focusing on the distribution and structured yield products of tokenized real-world assets (RWA).

Movement announced that it has completed the acquisition of the on-chain Vault infrastructure project Canopy, further integrating key financial infrastructure within the Movement Network. Canopy has previously been an important part of the Movement ecosystem, primarily responsible for building the Vault layer on the Movement Network, with its smart contracts allowing users to allocate assets and strategize on-chain with independent strategy managers.After this acquisition, Canopy will collaborate more closely with the on-chain credit protocol MovePosition, and Movement is gradually building a complete on-chain financial infrastructure stack covering modules such as Vault, credit, and yield strategies.

The official also revealed that MovePosition and Canopy will gradually operate as a unified infrastructure, with more integration details to be announced in the coming weeks.
