Redacted Cartel announces Hidden Hand v2 as well as new partners & chains

Redacted Cartel, the DeFi protocol behind governance “bribe” marketplace Hidden Hand, announced Hidden Hand v2 along with expansion to new partner protocols and additional blockchains, signaling a major upgrade to its core product and broader cross-chain reach. Hidden Hand is a marketplace where protocols pay incentives (bribes) to token holders in exchange for directing their governance votes, with fees shared between the Redacted Cartel treasury and rlBTRFLY lockers. The v2 release, first rolled out in early July 2023, focuses on improving user experience and adding more flexible features for integrated protocols. According to Redacted’s documentation and ecosystem overviews, Hidden Hand initially launched in 2022 with a small set of partners such as Frax, Ribbon Finance, and Balancer, but has since expanded to more than ten protocols and multiple chains. The v2 upgrade and newly announced partner and chain integrations are intended to deepen Hidden Hand’s role as infrastructure for vote‑incentive markets across DeFi governance systems, while driving additional fee revenue back to the Redacted ecosystem and its BTRFLY/rlBTRFLY holders. This reinforces Redacted Cartel’s strategy of positioning itself as a hub for on‑chain liquidity and governance incentives through its product suite (Hidden Hand, Pirex, and Dinero) and its growing multi-chain footprint.
