Astar Fi, an onchain personal finance platform incubated by Astar Foundation, opened its public beta Tuesday, September 15, combining crypto portfolio tracking with access to selected DeFi and tokenized investment opportunities.
The launch comes as crypto users increasingly manage portfolios that span multiple protocols and asset types, including DeFi positions, digital currencies and tokenized real-world assets (RWA).

Astar Fi is designed to let users track those holdings and access selected investment opportunities without giving up custody of their assets.
What Does Astar Fi Offer?
Astar Fi’s onchain portfolio has been available on an invite-only basis since August 17, ahead of its public launch today.Â
The platform is built around three functions: Save, Earn and Invest.
Save gives users a net-worth dashboard where they can view balances, portfolio allocations, trends, inflows and outflows, holdings and transaction history.
Earn provides access to selected vaults built on Aave, Midas and Morpho. Each vault includes an Astar Fi risk assessment, key risks, applicable fees, named oracle information and a published contract address.
Invest lets users access crypto assets on Ethereum and Base alongside tokenized investment products on Ethereum. These include tokenized stocks and ETFs through Ondo, as well as gold through Paxos and silver through Matrixdock.
The platform currently represents issuers including BlackRock through BUIDL, Apollo through ACRED, Fidelity through FDIT, and Ondo through OUSG and USDY.
The set includes 225 crypto assets, 436 tokenized stock and ETF records, 140 Morpho vaults, 31 Aave markets, and 16 Midas products.
Maarten Henskens, Head of Astar Foundation, said that onchain portfolios have become more diverse, but the tools for managing them haven’t caught up.
“A well-balanced onchain portfolio now holds DeFi positions, tokenized assets, and other digital currencies side by side, and is still managed across different apps. The tools have not caught up with what people are actually holding,” he noted. “That gap is why Astar incubated Astar Fi.”
How Does Astar Fi Handle Risk and Custody
Astar Fi is self-custodial, meaning assets remain in users’ wallets rather than being held by the platform. Astar Fi also selects and rates the assets and vaults displayed through its interface rather than operating an open marketplace.
The platform said ratings can be lowered and deposits can be paused if market or product conditions change. Astar Fi does not issue or mint the assets featured on its platform.
Users begin with social login and then connect a wallet. Astar Fi does not charge subscription or trading fees during the public beta. The public beta is available globally, with an initial focus on users in Japan.Â
Why This Matters
Astar Fi is targeting the growing overlap between DeFi, crypto portfolios and tokenized traditional assets by combining portfolio tracking with access to selected investment opportunities in one interface.
The platform’s approach is intended to reduce the fragmentation of onchain portfolio management while allowing users to retain custody of their assets.
