Upshift BTC Vaults: The Easiest Way to Earn on Mezo
Mezo's prelaunch vault, powered by Upshift, is now live and accepting deposits! Anyone can deposit Bitcoin to earn early Mezo rewards. Assets will be bridged and used on Mezo mainnet for the vault's real yield strategy.
Deposit, chill, and earn.
Mezo's Pre-Launch vault, fully automated by Upshift, is now live and accepting deposits in tBTC, cbBTC, and WBTC.
Deposit today to access early Mezo ecosystem rewards with key partners.
Here’s the TLDR on the best way to earn on Mezo:
- Accepting tBTC, WBTC, cbBTC deposits
- Vault assets bridged to Mezo at mainnet launch
- Deposited BTC will be strategically allocated to mint MUSD (Mezo's Bitcoin-backed stablecoin) and provide liquidity in the Mezo ecosystem
- You earn mats + partner points + real yield (once live on Mezo)
- Deposits can be withdrawn after 48 hours, but earned rewards will be slashed
How It Works
Getting started is simple. Head to Upshift's app and select the BTC wrapper you want to deposit. For the first few weeks, your deposit will earn mats and partner points while Upshift prepares to deploy the vault to Mezo mainnet.
When you deposit, you’ll receive an “uptBTC” token representing your position. This will soon be usable across the DeFi ecosystem for additional yield strategies.
At mainnet launch, all vault deposits will be bridged to Mezo. On Mezo, August (a DeFi fund which controls the vault strategies) will strategically allocate the BTC to Tigris liquidity pools and mint MUSD, Mezo’s Bitcoin-backed stablecoin.
The minted MUSD is optimized across various yield strategies: liquidity pools on the Mezo DEX, the Savers Rate, and additional protocols across the BitcoinFi ecosystem.
And here's the best part: you get access to the same high-yield strategies as top DeFi hedge funds. Deposit into the vault to earn pre-deposit rewards and liquid yield on Mezo Mainnet.
No matter your experience in DeFi, depositing in Upshift's vault ensures that your BTC is efficiently used like a top DeFi fund. This means your BTC is working for you and productively contributing to building a healthy BitcoinFi economy with deep liquidity, efficient trading, and intelligent capital allocation.
Vault deposits can be withdrawn after a 48-hour cooldown period. Once Mezo Mainnet goes live, withdrawals will be temporarily paused until two-way bridging is enabled. Withdrawing at any point before the 3-month predeposit period ends results in forfeiture of all Mezo points and partner points.
Why Deposit Early?
The earlier you get in, the better.
By depositing in the Pre-Launch vault, you’re locking in the highest mats rewards and ecosystem points. There is a fixed allocation of early incentives, so the sooner you get in, the more rewards you'll get. You'll also get guaranteed day 1 automated exposure to the Mezo incentive engine.
Key ecosystem partner incentives for vault depositors include:
- Velar
- Zerolend
- Upshift
So, deposit early to maximize your stack of mats, points, and passive rewards. No manual farming, no hopping between protocols. Just deposit BTC and let the system go to work for you.
Why Upshift?
Upshift democratizes institutional DeFi yield.

It also offers capital-efficient vault positions, enabling depositors to maximize yield across integrations such as Pendle or August, the DeFi prime brokerage that powers Upshift and handles $7 billion in monthly volume for clients.
