The integration of Zora Network into Uniswap is a clear example of this trend.

According to Odaily, ZeroLend has announced the launch of its whitepaper for ZeroLend One (v2). The whitepaper provides a comprehensive overview of ZeroLend One and its new features, including its motivations and basic technical details. One of the key features of ZeroLend One is the permissionless lending pool. Users can create lending pools without the need for permission, supporting any chain and asset. This allows ZeroLend to expand the scale of borrowing and isolate risks to individual pools. Another feature is the automated risk manager (ARM). To further expand risk management, v2 has introduced ARM. ARM is an automated contract that follows a set of rules to manage risk on a large scale. It can be driven by artificial intelligence or monitored by complex algorithms that track hundreds of variables. Inspired by Uniswap v4, lending pools now introduce Liquidity Hooks, allowing pool creators to add custom logic to extend the functionality of standard lending pools. Inspired by Liquity v2, fixed-rate lending is a similar concept that allows borrowers to determine their own interest rates, providing better flexibility and predictability in terms of cost. Finally, users can now represent their lending positions as NFTs, improving the lending experience. They can also have multiple positions in each wallet, transfer positions, and even trade NFT positions on OpenSea.

According to PANews, Stani Kulechov, the founder of Aave, has announced the imminent launch of the first Aave market specifically tailored for Lido.

He also expressed anticipation for the gradual development of more similar customized markets. This announcement signifies a new development in the digital finance sector, as it indicates the potential for more customized financial solutions tailored to specific needs and risk preferences. The launch of the Aave market for Lido is a significant step in this direction.

According to BlockBeats, on June 25, the multi-chain liquidity protocol, Symbiosis, launched TON Bridge v1. This development has strengthened the DeFi integration of the TON ecosystem by enabling asset management and transactions across more than 30 blockchains.

According to Odaily, MakerDAO and Web3 audit contest provider Sherlock have teamed up to host an audit competition worth $1.35 million. The competition, which began on July 8 and ended on August 5, was designed to ensure the security of the final stage of MakerDAO's long-term plan, known as the Endgame. The Endgame is aimed at thoroughly reforming governance and creating a self-sustaining balance called the Endgame State. This plan is based on reorganizing the existing complex decentralized labor ecosystem into a new self-sustaining DAO. The audit competition is a significant step in ensuring the security and integrity of the Endgame phase of MakerDAO's long-term plan.

According to U.Today, XRP, currently the seventh largest cryptocurrency, has achieved a significant milestone in the decentralized finance (DeFi) market. The total amount of XRP pooled in the XRPL Automated Market Maker (AMM) has exceeded 10 million XRP, as reported by XRPscan, a prominent XRP Ledger explorer. This achievement underscores the increasing adoption and use of XRP in DeFi. Automated market makers (AMMs) are a type of decentralized exchange mechanism that uses liquidity pools to algorithmically price assets, rather than creating offers of preset specifications. Liquidity pools allow holders to earn a portion of trading fees by providing their tokens as liquidity. In the case of XRP Ledger, a built-in central limit order book (CLOB) manages all XRPL transactions for fungible tokens. This CLOB, which has been part of the XRPL since its inception, offers the benefits of fewer trust assumptions and centralized liquidity, as opposed to the inherent vulnerabilities of smart contracts. In addition to the existing CLOB, an automated market maker (AMM) was voted into the protocol in Q1, 2024, as outlined by the XLS-30 standard. The increase in the number of XRP locked in AMM pools to 10 million XRP indicates a strong engagement with the XRPL's infrastructure. As the total pooled XRP in the XRPL AMM grows, it could draw more participants to XRP Ledger. Increased liquidity and user participation could lead to further innovations, new financial products, and a more robust DeFi environment. In related news, digital asset investment products experienced $584 million in outflows for the second consecutive week, totaling $1.2 billion. Bitcoin was the primary focus, with $630 million in outflows. In contrast, XRP saw $0.7 million in inflows, suggesting that investors saw the altcoin market's downturn as a buying opportunity. At the time of writing, XRP was down 1.47% in the last 24 hours to $0.476, reflecting the general market downturn, partly due to macroeconomic uncertainty and fears of additional selling pressure following Mt. Gox's latest announcement.

According to BlockBeats, Bitlayer, a native second-layer network for Bitcoin, has reported that its total value locked (TVL) has exceeded $500 million, currently standing at $534 million. This represents a growth of over 40% in the past 30 days. The top five protocols in the Bitlayer TVL rankings are Avalon, Pell Network, bitCow, bitSmiley, and Macaron. Official data shows that nearly a hundred ecological projects have been deployed to Bitlayer, with the number of active transactions on the chain exceeding one million. This makes Bitlayer the fastest-growing Bitcoin Layer 2 in terms of ecosystem growth.

According to Odaily, Levana Protocol, a derivative platform within the Cosmos ecosystem, has announced the launch of its governance portal. The first proposal, which involved distributing 0.0015145 wBTC to LVN stakers, has been approved on the Osmosis mainnet. The proposal was described as 'The Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks', a reference to a headline from The Times dated January 3, 2009. This marks the first time BTC has been allocated on the Osmosis mainnet. The official announcement was made on platform X, but no further details about the platform or the proposal were provided. The proposal can be found on the Levana Protocol's governance portal at https://gov.levana.finance/dao/proposal/0. This development signifies a step forward in the governance of the Levana Protocol, allowing LVN stakers to have a say in the platform's future decisions and operations. The launch of the governance portal and the approval of the first proposal are significant milestones for Levana Protocol. It demonstrates the platform's commitment to decentralization and the empowerment of its users. The distribution of wBTC to LVN stakers also indicates a potential for future rewards for those who participate in the platform's governance.

According to Odaily, the Aave community has initiated a new proposal to add dlcBTC to Aave V3 on Ethereum and Arbitrum. dlcBTC is a decentralized encapsulated Bitcoin on the Ethereum chain, allowing Bitcoin holders to participate in DeFi protocols while retaining full ownership of their assets. It uses Discrete Log Contracts (DLC) for secure cross-chain transactions, ensuring trustless and decentralized asset management. This proposal, if accepted, would further expand the range of assets available on Aave V3, and potentially increase the platform's utility for Bitcoin holders.

According to Odaily, decentralized options platform Opyn has announced plans to launch a perpetual contract protocol, Opyn Markets. The platform will support any asset and offer linear, stable, and option-like perpetual contracts. The landing page for Opyn Markets is set to go live on July 1st. Earlier in March, Opyn announced its intention to launch a perpetual contract protocol. The protocol is reported to include four basic Perps: 0-Perps, 1-Perps, 0.5-Perps, and 2-Perps, which can be traded on any asset. The 0-Perps will unlock five features: stablecoin, lending, leveraged trading, interest rate trading stablecoin, and the purchase of ERC20. The introduction of these features is expected to enhance the functionality and versatility of the platform, providing users with a wider range of trading options. This move is seen as a significant step forward in the development of decentralized finance, offering more flexibility and options for traders and investors alike.

According to Bloomberg, in the cryptocurrency industry, it's typical for founders to accumulate substantial amounts of their project's native token as a stake in the business. This approach, while promoting transparency and offering a more liquid exit strategy, can sometimes lead to complications. For instance, when executives and venture-capital backers hold significant portions of a token, market liquidity can become scarce when they sell. This has led some to resort to unconventional methods to liquidate their holdings. A recent incident involving Curve Finance founder Michael Egorov serves as a prime example. Egorov's trading of nearly $96 million in stablecoin loans was backed by approximately $140 million of his CRV holdings as collateral. This collateral was spread across several DeFi platforms, including Curve's own LlamaLend. However, when the price of CRV plummeted following the hack of a small DeFi lender this month, the value of Egorov's collateral also fell, forcing his positions into liquidation. This forced selling resulted in millions of dollars in bad debt for Egorov and Curve, and triggered widespread market panic among CRV investors. The value of the coin briefly hit a record low following the liquidation. Egorov subsequently sold more CRV tokens in an over-the-counter deal to cover most of Curve's bad debt. In a statement, Egorov confirmed that he personally repaid most of the bad debt and was committed to ensuring that all users could withdraw their deposits without any issues. This incident highlights the challenges faced by crypto founders and early backers when they attempt to realize the value of their holdings. The market's volatility and immaturity often mean that holdings are too dense for buyers to handle when sold in large quantities. This experimental nature of crypto markets allows for such situations, giving buyers, sellers, and builders the freedom to test the boundaries of finance without traditional rules.

According to BlockBeats, Uniswap, a decentralized finance protocol, has reported a significant increase in its front-end transaction fees. As of June 22, the fees have reached a staggering $43.23 million. This data was provided by DefiLlama, a reliable source for decentralized finance statistics and analytics. Uniswap's front-end transaction fees, also known as revenue, are a critical indicator of the platform's performance and popularity among users. The increase in fees suggests a surge in the platform's usage, indicating a growing interest in decentralized finance solutions. However, it's important to note that while high transaction fees can indicate a platform's success, they can also deter potential users due to the increased cost of transactions. Therefore, Uniswap's management will need to balance the need for revenue with the desire to attract and retain users. This news underscores the dynamic and rapidly evolving nature of the decentralized finance sector. As more individuals and businesses turn to these platforms for their financial needs, it's expected that competition among these platforms will intensify, leading to further innovations and improvements in the sector.

According to Odaily, the address 0xfb94...ccfa has been liquidated for 1230 MKR, which is approximately equivalent to 3.03 million USD. The liquidation process involves the selling off of assets, in this case, MKR tokens, to pay off debts or obligations. The specific reasons for this liquidation have not been disclosed. The MKR token is a governance token for the MakerDAO decentralized autonomous organization. Holders of MKR tokens have voting rights in the MakerDAO system and can participate in decision-making processes. The value of MKR tokens can fluctuate based on market conditions, and the current liquidation indicates a significant amount of MKR tokens being sold off. This event is a part of the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics, where addresses can be liquidated for various reasons, including to meet margin requirements or to pay off debts. The liquidation of such a large amount of MKR tokens could potentially impact the market, although the specific effects will depend on various factors, including the overall market conditions and the reactions of other market participants.
