$AAVE
The temperature check vote for the integration of Aave with Sonic has passed. This is the first step Aave has taken towards integrating with the Sonic blockchain.

The Aave community initiated a preliminary proposal on the governance forum, aiming to deploy Aave V3 on the Sonic mainnet. This proposal is currently in the TEMP CHECK phase.
If the proposal passes the temperature check phase, it will still need to go through the snapshot phase, ARFC phase, and AIP voting phase before it can be executed. This vote aims to complete the second phase of the full deployment of the Aave protocol on Sonic, with the first phase being the deployment of a cross-chain bridge for aTokens between Ethereum and Sonic.

$UNI
Uniswap Labs has partnered with web3 security company Blockaid to develop a new on-chain detection and response system aimed at protecting decentralized exchange (DEX) users from malicious token attacks.
If users interact with tokens flagged as potentially malicious, Blockaid's tool will alert them. This tool will be rolled out on Uniswap's web, mobile, and self-custody crypto wallet extensions. It combines static (comparing contract source code with known viruses) and dynamic (using virtual environments to trigger contracts) verification heuristic methods along with various machine learning capabilities to help validate the legitimacy of tokens. Blockaid's technology can detect and prevent common scams, including celebrity impersonators and other phishing schemes, as well as more technical scams that do not rely on social engineering, such as the “100% sales fee” trick, where sellers set fees at the level of the purchase price, causing buyers to be unable to receive assets even if they are legitimate.
Blockaid was founded in 2022 and is a web3 security company actively scanning for suspicious activities across various blockchains, with its software being used by Coinbase, Stellar, and Metamask, and reportedly preventing over $4 billion in potential losses.

$AAVE
Aave is considering integrating a new Chainlink oracle - Smart Value Recapture (SVR), a service aimed at redistributing the profits from frontrunning to DeFi users. Chainlink's Smart Value Recapture (SVR) service is specifically designed to extract profits from Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) to benefit DeFi protocols. Aave estimates that SVR can capture about 40% of MEV profits, which can be redistributed to Aave DAO for the benefit of users. In this way, Aave hopes to optimize profit distribution, reducing the significant profits that block builders gain through MEV, while allowing more earnings to flow to Aave's users.

Unichain has released a phased roadmap for its mainnet and announced that the mainnet will go live in early 2025. The mainnet will support Permissionless Fault Proofs from the first day of launch, ensuring that on-chain activities can be verified, further enhancing security and decentralization.
The roadmap specifically includes:
1. Testnet Phase: Unichain's Sepolia testnet is now open, and infrastructure providers are conducting tests. Since the testnet opened, it has processed 50 million test transactions and deployed over 4 million test contracts. This phase focuses on ensuring the stability of the chain and user safety, guaranteeing over 99% uptime for critical network services through rigorous testing and monitoring.
2. Mainnet Launch: Unichain plans to enable Permissionless Fault Proofs on January 6, 2025, and will fully open the mainnet after functionality verification is completed. The mainnet will support Permissionless Fault Proofs from the first day of launch, ensuring that on-chain activities can be verified, further enhancing security and decentralization. Once the security and stability of the new system are verified, the mainnet will be open to everyone, allowing users to directly bridge funds to the network and experience the application ecosystem. At the same time, Rollup-Boost will go live after the mainnet launch, providing verifiable priority sorting and rollback protection for transactions.
3. Experimental Testnet: After the mainnet goes live, Unichain will continuously promote the testing and development of new features. This includes reducing effective block time to 250 milliseconds through Flashblocks technology and launching the Unichain validation network, inviting the community to participate in node validation testing. The Unichain team stated that all new features will be fully verified on the experimental testnet and Sepolia testnet before being migrated to the mainnet for production use.
