Understanding Nest Vaults on Glider
For years, traditional assets like U.S. Treasuries, private credit, or institutional credit strategies lived behind layers of complexity: brokerages, minimums, paperwork, and gatekeeping.
As more real-world assets (RWAs) move onchain, a new kind of investing is emerging, one where anyone can access yield sourced from the real economy, not just crypto markets.
Through our integration with Plume and Nest, Glider now supports three tokenized RWA vaults you can add directly to your portfolio:
- Nest Treasury (short-duration U.S. Treasuries)
- Nest Basis (market-neutral crypto yield + Treasuries)
- Nest Alpha (diversified private credit)
These vaults were designed to make institutional-grade yield simple, transparent, and accessible, even if you’ve never invested outside of crypto before.
This guide walks you through what each vault is, how it earns, and how it fits into a long-term, calmer investment strategy.
Why RWAs Matter for Modern Investors
Traditional markets have always generated steady yield, from credit, financing, and government treasuries. But access to those opportunities was reserved for institutions, funds, or accredited investors.
Tokenized RWAs change that.
They take real assets, wrap them in an onchain token, and make the yield flow directly to whoever holds the token.
On Glider, it becomes even simpler:
If a vault earns yield, your portfolio earns it automatically.
- No staking
- No claiming
- No locking
- No extra steps
Just hold the token in your portfolio, and the yield accrues.
You also receive any additional airdropped rewards and points directly to your portfolio.
This is the calm, modern version of yield. Accessible, transparent, and designed for long-term stability.
Nest Treasuries Vault (nTBILL)
This vault holds 100% short-duration U.S. Treasuries, one of the most trusted and widely used sources of yield in traditional finance.
They’re low-risk government-backed instruments with predictable returns.
U.S. Treasuries pay steady interest (APY varies based on rates). Nest tokenizes this into a yield-bearing asset you can hold onchain.
What it does for your portfolio
- Adds a stable base layer
- Softens volatility during market swings
- Provides steady, reliable yield
- Works as a cash-like anchor inside a long-term portfolio
Best for
Anyone who wants something safe, predictable, and easy to understand, especially during uncertain markets.
Nest Basis Vault (nBASIS)
A market-neutral strategy that earns yield from pricing differences in crypto markets — not from price direction. It’s supported by a small allocation to U.S. Treasuries.
Inside the vault:
- 93% crypto basis strategy
- 7% U.S. Treasuries
Basis trades capitalize on price gaps between futures and spot markets. These gaps exist regardless of whether crypto goes up or down. This vault performs even when the market is flat, offering steadier, direction-neutral yield.
What it does for your portfolio
- Smooths volatility
- Adds consistent performance
- Reduces dependence on market cycles
- Offers predictable returns in unpredictable conditions
Best for
Investors who want yield without having to chase pumps or time the market.
Nest Alpha Vault (nALPHA)
Diversified private credit exposure, traditionally available only to institutions and large funds, now tokenized and accessible through Glider.
Inside the vault:
- 48% oil & gas royalties
- 43% payment financing
- 9% private credit
It earns from the real economy through energy revenue, payment flow financing, and corporate & asset backed credit. These assets generate yield steadily, independent of crypto volatility.
21% APY from real-world credit is rare, especially in a tokenized format that automatically accrues yield to your portfolio.
What it does for your portfolio
- Adds powerful, diversified yield
- Reduces exposure to crypto-only cycles
- Strengthens overall long-term stability
- Creates a new source of growth that doesn’t depend on market direction
Best for
Investors who want to grow their wealth through real-world economic activity, not just crypto price movements.
How Yield Flows Into Your Portfolio on Glider
One of the biggest advantages of adding Nest vaults through Glider is automation:
→ Add the token to your portfolio once

→ Any rewards or points instantly update in your portfolio
Glider abstracts away all the complexity. No gas, no separate actions, no manual claiming. Your portfolio simply grows in the background.
This is the future of long-term onchain investing: calm, automated, and built for everyone.
RWAs mark a shift in how people build wealth onchain.
Not through speculation, but through access to yield, to credit, to the real economy.
By bringing Nest vaults onto Glider, we’re giving every investor the ability to build a more stable, more diversified, more intelligent portfolio.
One that works quietly in the background. One that grows with you. One that makes onchain investing finally feel calm.
