Introducing Pencils Vaults: Unlocking New Levels of Earning Potential

Pencils Vaults is now live, marking a significant step in decentralized finance (DeFi) innovation on the Scroll ecosystem. With over $350M in Total Value Locked (TVL) and a community of 550,000+ active users, Pencils Protocol is the leading DeFi protocol on Scroll and a global force in DeFi farming. Whether you’re an experienced DeFi participant or new to the space, Pencils Vaults is designed to help you maximize returns effortlessly, contributing to the continued growth of both Pencils Protocol and the broader Scroll ecosystem, which accounts for 40% of Scroll’s total TVL.

Pencils Protocol Vaults and Mind Network Partnership: Advancing the intersect of DeFi, AI, and FHE

Pencils Protocol is advancing its mission by forming impactful partnerships that strengthen the ecosystem. One such partnership is with Mind Network, which merges decentralized finance (DeFi), artificial intelligence (AI), and Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). This collaboration creates a secure, scalable ecosystem for innovation in both DeFi and AI.

The Synergy Between Pencils Vaults and Mind Network

The launch of Pencils Vaults is a major milestone for the protocol and its users. This advanced DeFi product is designed to maximize returns through leveraged yield aggregation, automated smart contracts, and minimal user input. For example, users like Bob can deposit assets like 1 pufETH and amplify their returns by selecting a 2x leverage, transforming what would be a 10% annual return into a 30% return. The Vaults smart contract manages the complexities, placing funds into liquidity pools and downstream strategies while holding LP tokens securely.

The integration of Mind Network introduces FHE technology, ensuring unparalleled security and privacy. By employing FHE, Pencils Vaults ensures that sensitive data remains encrypted and computations are private. This level of security is particularly essential as AI systems grow and require secure infrastructure for large-scale data applications.

Unified Ecosystem: DeFi, AI, and FHE Convergence

The partnership with Mind Network extends beyond DeFi. Mind Network is the pioneering FHE Restaking Layer for Proof of Stake (PoS) and AI networks, and this collaboration unlocks new possibilities for Pencils Protocol users. Through restaking mechanisms, users can now secure multiple networks and receive enhanced rewards, leveraging Mind Network’s FHE validators to restake assets and become remote voters. These voters act as validators for leading AI and FHE projects such as Zama, Fhenix, Singularity, and Bittensor, further strengthening the security of AI and PoS ecosystems while offering increased returns to Pencils Protocol participants.

This unified ecosystem bridges the gap between DeFi, AI, and FHE, creating an interconnected platform that not only boosts liquidity but also expands user opportunities. By integrating AI and FHE into Pencils Vaults, users gain access to secure computation environments and a gateway to AI innovation. This synergy enhances user experience, driving further growth within both the Protocol and Scroll ecosystem, which now accounts for 40% of Scroll’s total TVL.

Restaking and PoS Integration: Elevating Security and Rewards

Through this partnership, users can restake their assets across multiple networks, enhancing both rewards and security. Mind Network’s FHE validators guarantee secure and private transactions, while Pencils Vaults allows dormant capital to generate returns, attracting large whales into the ecosystem. This increases liquidity and TVL, benefiting both Pencils Protocol and the Scroll network.

Benefits for the Ecosystem

Pencils Vaults isn’t just about individual gains — it’s a value engine for the entire ecosystem. Here’s how:

1. Boosting Liquidity and TVL: By offering both stable returns through the Farming Pool and enhanced returns through Vaults, we’re attracting significant liquidity. More liquidity means higher Total Value Locked (TVL) for Pencils, which not only benefits our protocol but also drives the growth of the Scroll network’s TVL. This positions Scroll as a formidable player in the crypto world, increasing its presence and adoption across the industry.
2. Activating Dormant Capital: Large whales can securely manage assets without manual involvement, thanks to Pencils Vaults. This increases liquidity movement and makes the ecosystem more dynamic and profitable for all participants.
3. Enhancing Ecosystem Activity and Node Revenue: Every operation within the Vaults system helps to boost the activity of nodes running on the Scroll ecosystem. As liquidity is actively moved and deployed, nodes generate more revenue, and the entire Scroll infrastructure becomes more integrated into the larger DeFi framework. This is not just about increasing TVL — it’s about creating a thriving, interconnected DeFi network that benefits all participants.

Why You Should Be Excited

The combination of Pencils Vaults and the Mind Network partnership is a significant step forward for both the DeFi and AI industries. The launch of Vaults provides users with a powerful tool to amplify returns effortlessly, while Mind Network enhances security and privacy through FHE technology, delivering a truly decentralized and private computation framework.

Users of Pencils Protocol can now maximize their returns and contribute to the broader AI ecosystem, leveraging advanced cryptographic technologies and participating in the future of decentralized computation. With both Vaults and the Mind Network collaboration, we’re driving a secure, scalable, and interconnected DeFi ecosystem that benefits everyone involved.
