  • Gearbox has launched on Etherlink with a USDC vault curated by Re7 Labs.
  • The firm’s Lazarev said the initiative opens up new possibilities for capital efficiency in leveraged strategies since it will enable soft confirmations in 500ms.
  • Re7 said its vault strategy will also benefit Apple Farm Season 2 incentives, combined with GEAR token distributions from the Gearbox DAO.

Gearbox Protocol has launched on Etherlink with a USDC vault curated by Re7 Labs. The initiative will introduce institutional-grade strategies to the Tezos Layer 2 through treasury-backed tokens, including mTBILL, mBASIS, and mRe7YIELD.

The company operates as the credit layer of decentralized finance, connecting passive liquidity providers with users seeking composable leverage across profitable opportunities. Gearbox said the initiative will enable curators to utilize its institutional-grade lending infrastructure to set up lending markets.

Gearbox’s integration opens new possibilities for capital efficiency in leveraged strategies

Founder and CTO at Gearbox Protocol, Mikhail Lazarev, said the firm has been looking for the right L2 to expand Gearbox Permissionless until it found Etherlink’s performance metrics and ecosystem. He argued that the integration opens up new possibilities for capital efficiency in leveraged strategies since it will enable soft confirmations. As previously reported by Cryptopolitan, the community-driven L2 delivers sub-second confirmations with negligible fees. 

Managing partner at Re7 Labs, Evgeny Gokhberg, stated that the company will offer significant expertise as a vault curator. It manages over $700 million TVL across more than 100 pools on 14 blockchains.

The DeFi curator also delivers returns through proprietary risk management frameworks. Gokhberg acknowledged that the vault strategy focuses on looping return-bearing tokens against USDC to boost underlying returns while maintaining conservative risk parameters.

“Etherlink’s infrastructure and Gearbox’s credit layer give us the ideal foundation to scale our strategies. We’re bringing institutional-grade yield to a new audience with the same discipline and risk management we apply across $1B+ in DeFi capital.”

-Evgeny Gokhberg, Managing Partner at Re7 Capital.

According to Gokhberg, the vault will also benefit Apple Farm Season 2 incentives, combined with GEAR token distributions from the Gearbox DAO. Gearbox revealed that its users generated around $2.8 billion in trading volume across Ethereum decentralized exchanges over seven months. The protocol’s TVL also grew by 230% in the first half of 2025 to $400 million.

Anthony Hayot, head of DeFi adoption at Nomadic Labs, argued that having Gearbox launch on Etherlink was a big win for the company. He argued that the integration offers significant institutional credibility and a product that will give real value to Etherlink users.

Gearbox revealed that it has maintained a flawless security record for over four years with zero exploits or bad debt. It has also invested significant amounts in audits by reputable firms, while operating under strict governance structures with 24-hour timelocks for vault parameter changes.

Etherlink launches Apple Farm Season 2

The integration of Gearbox follows a period of significant momentum for Etherlink, which successfully launched Apple Farm Season 2 with over $3 million in incentives. As previously reported by Cryptopolitan, the firm also integrated Curve Finance, enabling low-slippage stablecoin swaps. Etherlink also had a 68.4% surge in TVL in July that positioned it among the fastest-rising Layer 2s.

Etherlink also partnered with Bitcoin capital markets provider Lombard Finance to spur DeFi activity on Tezos. It deployed its staking token called LBTC atop the network.

The integration aims to enable holders to maintain their BTC exposure while earning staking rewards through the Bitcoin staking protocol, Babylon. The initiative has already brought in $2 billion worth of LBTC into circulation across Ethereum, BNB Chain, Ethereum, and more. 

70% of the tokens have been deployed for DeFi use on platforms like Aave and Morpho. Hayot said the company preferred LBTC due to its characteristics, including ease of use and liquidity.
