Connect Axal user balances, yield strategies and deposit flows to your finance stack

Axal (operated by Lockbox Technologies, Inc., backed by a16z CSX and CMT Digital) is a non-custodial USDC savings app that advertises 6–10% APY by routing user deposits across Morpho, Euler, Pendle, and Aave. The app onboards via Apple Pay, ACH bank transfer, or direct USDC, and uses MoonPay-Iron virtual accounts to convert fiat to stablecoins. We deliver authorized API integrations that surface this data — balances, deposits, allocations, and earned yield — for accounting, treasury, dashboards, and compliance reporting.

Deposit & balance APIs — Read user USDC balance, pending Apple Pay / ACH deposits, MoonPay virtual-account credits, and the smart-account address bound to the user.
Yield strategy & allocation — Snapshot current allocation across Morpho, Euler, Pendle, Aave (percentage weights, vaults, expected vs realized APY).
Statement & transaction export — Time-bound transaction history (deposit, withdrawal, rebalance, accrued yield) in JSON / CSV / PDF, suitable for tax, audit and ERP ingestion.
Webhooks & events — Real-time events for deposit settled, rebalance executed, withdrawal finalized — wire them into your ledger or risk system.

Feature modules

Authorization & smart-account binding

Mirror Axal's mobile authorization to bind a user under your tenant. Each Axal deposit is protected by TEE-enforced signing policies and batched execution; our integration exposes a stable account ID, a smart-account address, and a refreshable session token so your backend can re-auth without prompting the user every time.

Deposit ingestion (Apple Pay / ACH / USDC)

Three on-ramp paths: Apple Pay (in-app), ACH bank transfer (US accounts), and direct USDC transfer to the user's MoonPay-Iron virtual account. We expose a unified deposits resource so accounting systems do not need to know the underlying rail — only that funds have settled and have been routed to a yield strategy.

Yield strategy snapshot

Per-user allocation by protocol (Morpho lending vaults, Euler markets, Pendle PT/YT positions, Aave V3 supplies), with per-leg APY, vault address, and last-rebalance timestamp — enabling reconciliation, performance attribution, and risk dashboards on the user's behalf.

Statement & tax export

Date-ranged transaction statements for deposits, withdrawals, rebalances, and earned yield. JSON for engineering, CSV/Excel for finance, PDF for end-user statements; field-level documentation included for direct mapping into QuickBooks, NetSuite, or in-house ledgers.

Withdrawal & settlement tracking

Lifecycle states for a withdrawal request: queued, signed by smart account, on-chain settled, off-ramp initiated, fiat received. Each state ships a webhook with the on-chain transaction hash and the MoonPay reference, so support and operations teams can trace funds end-to-end.

Rebalancer event stream

Axal's automation engine reallocates capital in real time across DeFi protocols. We surface those rebalances as discrete events — old leg, new leg, amount, gas covered, expected APY delta — so risk systems can flag concentration changes and treasury teams can track yield drift.

Typical integration scenarios

1. Treasury & NAV sync for fintech wallets

A neobank or crypto wallet wants to surface "your Axal balance" inside its own app. Our integration polls the balance and earnings endpoints under user-authorized OAuth, keeps a server-side mirror, and emits a daily NAV snapshot — mapping cleanly onto OpenFinance account-aggregation patterns familiar from PSD2-style flows.

2. Tax & accounting export for crypto CPAs

An accounting firm onboards US clients earning USDC yield via Axal. The statement API delivers per-day accrued yield, deposit/withdrawal events with on-chain references, and rebalance gas costs in one CSV — ready to feed into Form 1099 prep, Schedule D, or staking-income workflows.

3. Risk-controlled DeFi exposure for SMBs

A small business uses Axal to park idle USDC. Their CFO needs to confirm exposure stays within policy: at most 40% Morpho, 25% Euler, 20% Pendle, 15% Aave. The allocation snapshot endpoint plus rebalance webhook drives a Slack alert when the rebalancer moves outside policy bands.

4. Compliance reporting under the GENIUS Act

The 2025 GENIUS Act and the FinCEN/OFAC joint proposed rule (April 2026) extend BSA-style obligations to stablecoin issuers and downstream platforms. Our compliance bundle ships authorized deposit/withdrawal logs, KYC tier metadata, and source-of-funds events for SAR/CTR-style reporting.

5. Cross-platform yield aggregation dashboard

A power user holds USDC across Axal, Nook, YieldClub, Coinbase and Nexo. Our integration normalises Axal's strategy data into a common schema (balance, APY, protocol leg, lockup, on-ramp) so a single dashboard can compare realized yield across the whole stablecoin savings landscape.

Compliance & privacy

Stablecoin yield platforms in the United States now operate under a dense regulatory map. The GENIUS Act, signed in July 2025, established the first federal framework for payment stablecoins and restricted issuers from paying yield directly on the holding of a stablecoin — making the design choice of platforms like Axal (yield delivered through a separate non-custodial protocol layer) regulatorily significant. The FinCEN / OFAC joint NPRM published April 2026 extends Bank Secrecy Act obligations to permitted stablecoin issuers, which downstream affects any aggregator pulling deposit and withdrawal data. The SEC Division of Corporation Finance Statement on Stablecoins (April 2025) clarified that 1:1 dollar-backed stablecoins are not securities, but yield wrappers may be, depending on structure. Our deliveries include a written compliance memo covering: lawful basis (user authorization), data minimization, GENIUS-Act-aware field selection, GDPR-style retention controls for any EU users, and an audit log suitable for SAR/CTR review.

Data flow / architecture

A typical integration pipeline has four nodes:

  1. Axal mobile app / smart account — origin of authorization and source events (deposit, rebalance, withdrawal).
  2. Authorized ingestion gateway — our OAuth-style binding layer, signature validation, rate-limited polling and webhook receiver.
  3. Normalized storage — append-only ledger plus a per-user materialized view (balance, blended APY, current allocation).
  4. Outbound API or analytics — REST endpoints, scheduled CSV/PDF exports, or a streaming feed into your data warehouse (BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift).

Market positioning & user profile

Axal launched its mobile app on November 19, 2025 and is currently positioned for US retail savers comfortable with consumer-grade fintech but not necessarily DeFi-native. Apple Pay and ACH onboarding, MoonPay-Iron virtual accounts, and the absence of seed phrases or gas-fee prompts make it accessible to mainstream users; the 6–10% advertised APY targets people frustrated with sub-1% bank savings. The investor mix (Andreessen Horowitz CSX, CMT Digital) and the $2.5M pre-seed point to an early-stage but technically credible product. Primary platforms are iOS (live first) and Android (com.axal.android). Our integrations therefore emphasize low-friction OAuth-style binding, US-tax-friendly statement formats, and reporting flows that fit accounting firms, treasury teams, and consumer-finance dashboards.

Similar apps & integration landscape

Axal sits in a fast-growing field of stablecoin-native savings products. The apps below appear repeatedly in 2025–2026 industry coverage and share much of the underlying DeFi infrastructure (Morpho, Aave V3, Compound, Moonwell). Many of our clients ask for unified cross-platform reporting, so each entry below represents an adjacent integration our studio also supports.

Nook

Built by ex-Coinbase and Uber engineers, Nook auto-rebalances overnight across Morpho, Aave and Moonwell. Users who hold both Axal and Nook balances often need a unified APY and tax-export feed.

YieldClub

Advertises up to 12% APY through Morpho-powered lending with real-time compounding. Common request: normalized transaction history across YieldClub and Axal for accounting.

stables.money

Stablecoin yield app emphasizing transparency on fund deployment. Maps cleanly to the same allocation-snapshot schema used for Axal strategies.

Lulo

Solana-powered stablecoin savings. Integrations focus on cross-chain reconciliation when users move between EVM (Axal) and Solana (Lulo) yield positions.

Coinbase USDC Rewards

Custodial USDC at ~4% APY with insured custody. Useful baseline for benchmarking realized yield against Axal's DeFi-routed APY.

Nexo

CeFi platform offering up to 14–16% APY on stablecoins under tier and lock-up conditions. Integration pairs well with Axal for risk-tier dashboards.

Ledn

Growth Accounts on USDC and USDT with full-reserve verification. Common client need: combined statement export across Ledn and Axal for treasury teams.

Aave (consumer app)

Aave Labs' iOS savings product up to 9% APY, backed by $29B+ TVL. We can normalize Aave consumer balances alongside Axal's Aave-leg exposure.

Compound

Long-running DeFi lending protocol. Useful when users move USDC directly into Compound markets outside the Axal automation layer.

unflat

European-focused EUR-to-Morpho savings (4–7% APY). Integration angle: bridging EUR-side exposure with Axal's USD-side statements for cross-currency reporting.

📱 Original app overview (appendix)

Axal: High Yield Savings (package com.axal.android, operated by Lockbox Technologies, Inc.) is a non-custodial mobile savings app that earns 6–10% APY on stablecoins through automated DeFi strategies. The mobile app launched on November 19, 2025 and mirrors the desktop Axal Yield experience.

Users deposit with Apple Pay, ACH bank transfer, or existing USDC. Behind the scenes, MoonPay's Virtual Accounts (powered by Iron) convert fiat to USDC and route it into Axal's smart yield engine, which allocates across Morpho, Euler, Pendle, and Aave. Each user deposit activates a smart account protected by TEE-enforced signing policies and batched execution — there are no gas fees, no seed phrases, and no manual rebalancing for the user.

The company is backed by Andreessen Horowitz CSX and CMT Digital ($2.5M pre-seed). Axal positions itself against traditional savings accounts (which pay near-zero interest) and against more complex DeFi yield aggregators (which require wallet management). Recent ecosystem coverage groups Axal with Nook, YieldClub, stables.money, Aave's consumer app, and Coinbase USDC Rewards as part of a new wave of consumer stablecoin savings products.
