Built on Accountable, vault offers real-time proof of loan book health as institutional allocators demand continuous transparency over traditional lagging audits
HELSINKI, Finland, Feb. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Valos announced today the launch of an institutional credit vault using Agora’s AUSD on Monad with $100 million in initial allocations and $200 million in current capacity, marking the first time allocators can verify loan deployments and borrower financial health in real time rather than waiting for quarterly reports.
Valos currently manages over 50 active loans, and has a track record of deploying more than $1 billion to tier-1 crypto market makers. The new vault is built on Accountable ‘s Data Verification Network where the borrower’s financial health is verifiable on an ongoing basis through the platform. Allocators receive AUSD-denominated yields from Valos’ lending operations, supplemented by incentive programs from Monad, Agora , and Accountable. Several borrowers within Valos’ existing loan book are exploring the adoption of Accountable’s verification infrastructure within their own operations.
“We are seeing increasing demand from institutional allocators for higher standards of transparency,” said Henri Nieminen, Co-Founder and CEO of Valos . “This vault delivers exactly that – continuous, independent visibility into how capital is secured and diversified.“
“The gap between what institutional allocators demand and what crypto credit markets can prove has been massive. Valos closes it by making verification the foundation, not an add-on. This vault demonstrates what’s possible when transparency is built into infrastructure from day one and it sets the bar for everything that follows. ” said Wojtek Pawlowski, Co-Founder and CEO of Accountable.
The vault launches on YieldApp, Accountable’s marketplace for verifiable yield opportunities. Built on Vault-as-a-Service infrastructure, YieldApp allows institutional allocators to discover and assess credit and yield strategies backed by real-time verification. The Valos vault represents the platform’s first institutional private credit offering, demonstrating how DVN enables a new category of transparent yield products.
The vault uses Agora’s institutional-grade stablecoin, AUSD, for transfers into and withdrawals from the vault. With $62 billion in cumulative transfer volume and $250 million in daily transfers, AUSD provides the liquidity and distribution infrastructure the vault requires, deployed on Monad, the high-performance EVM-compatible L1 blockchain.
Institutional allocators can track loan performance, collateral coverage and counterparty exposure for their capital as positions change, while borrower privacy and trading strategies remain protected. The vault represents the first institutional-grade credit vault launching on Monad.
The launch reflects a broader shift in digital asset credit markets: institutional allocators are no longer willing to rely on trust-based attestations or snapshot proofs of reserves. Accountable’s infrastructure enables continuous transparency without exposing sensitive API keys or strategies, setting a new baseline for what institutional-grade verification means onchain.
Monad delivers up to 10,000 transactions per second, sub-second finality, and low transaction fees. Its architecture enables more efficient payment flows and other transaction-intensive financial use cases by reducing latency. It provides scalable and reliable infrastructure for institutional finance.
Since launching in 2024, Accountable has provided real-time verification infrastructure across market making, stablecoin reserves and tokenized vaults for clients including Galaxy, Keyrock, Solstice and Neutrl. The Valos Vault extends this capability into onchain private credit, backed by the same verification layer.
