- First Plutus V3 dApp on Cardano – VyFinance is preparing to ship the network’s inaugural Plutus V3 contract, setting a new technical benchmark.
- Safe Swap (true on-chain OTC) – peer-to-peer swaps that skip liquidity pools, trimming slippage and fee drag.
- Customizable, widget-based UI – traders can build dashboards that surface exactly the data they care about.
VyFinance (ticker VYFI) is a Cardano-native DeFi suite that already offers an AMM DEX, neural-net yield aggregation, and NFT-gated vaults. Its stated mission is to make complex yield strategies as easy as a single click while keeping custody in the user’s wallet. The protocol’s next milestone—the V3 DEX upgrade—folds those existing pieces into a cleaner interface and layers on a handful of new toys designed for traders who live on-chain.
Upcoming V3 Feature Pack
After nearly a year in the code mines, the VyFi crew is rolling out the following (all items are queued for main-net release):
After the short intro paragraph below, every heading keeps the exact bullet structure you asked for.
This release includes several user-facing updates alongside the initial Safe Swap (OTC) launch. A deep-dive on validator logic will follow once it’s live.

Why the Market Cares
- Cheaper, faster trades – Plutus V3 scripting slashes memory and CPU costs, cutting fees for end-users while removing friction that keeps many swing-traders on centralized exchanges.
- True OTC on-chain – Safe Swap plugs a long-standing hole in Cardano DeFi: large holders can now negotiate privately, settle trustlessly, and avoid pool slippage—all while staying visible to explorers for auditability.
- Dashboard modularity – Power users don’t want a one-size-fits-all interface. By letting traders pin only what matters to them, VyFi reduces cognitive load and keeps engagement high—metrics that tend to correlate with TVL growth.
- Sticky token economics – Every batched swap and every farm interaction runs through VyFi’s fee engine. More volume equals more buy-pressure on the VYFI token and richer vault rewards, a feedback loop that could tighten supply just as Cardano liquidity is broadening.
- First-mover advantage – Being first with a Plutus V3 product gives VyFinance bragging rights and a technical moat. If the upgrade works as advertised, other dApps may integrate VyFi’s validator or at least benchmark against it—funneling dev mindshare toward the ecosystem.
Our take: We’ve been around since SundaeSwap launch week, and fee drag has always scared off high-frequency strategies on Cardano. If these improvements slice even 30 – 40 % off the cost of a multi-hop trade, sophisticated bots will follow the spark. More bots mean tighter spreads, better depth, and a healthier DEX overall. That’s the kind of flywheel investors dream about.
Final Thoughts
VyFinance isn’t just patching the roof—it’s switching out the foundation for something sturdier, faster, and more user-friendly. With Plutus V3 smart contracts under the hood and a dashboard that behaves more like a Bloomberg terminal than a hobbyist web-app, the upcoming V3 release puts VyFi on a collision course with serious liquidity. If execution matches the roadmap, calling the update “bullish” might be an understatement.
