Aave V3 Is Live On Ethereum, TVL Up 24% In One Month

Aave V3 is now live on the Ethereum mainnet. With this upgrade, WBTC, WETH, wstETH, USDC, DAI, LINK, and AAVE are the only supported assets.  Aave V3 Improves Capital Efficiency Stani Kulechov, the co-founder of Aave, said V3’s flexible design introduces new ways of mitigating risks, reducing gas costs, and improving capital efficiency, all while ensuring better liquidity decentralization. Aave Protocol V3 is now live on the Ethereum market ?? ”The most exciting aspect of V3 is its flexible design, which enables a variety of new risk mitigation features, and its improved capital efficiency & decentralized liquidity – all while reducing gas costs.” @StaniKulechov pic.twitter.com/QsSnnlhEMr — Aave (@AaveAave) January 27, 2023 This upgrade came after the Aave community delayed the upgrade. Then, Aave developers assessed that immediately improving V2 Pools to V3 would not have yielded the desired level of compatibility with other Aave V3 pools running on Avalanche, Polygon, and Ethereum layer-2 platforms. Related Reading: Aave Price Surges As V3 Cloud Upgrade Draws Near The current Aave V3 on Ethereum has been reworked. It is negligibly complex and more compatible with other Aave V3 pools outside of Ethereum. The transition to Ethereum, expanding Aave’s presence in top blockchains, didn’t immediately affect its total value locked (TVL). Data show that it is 2% lower in the past 24 hours. However, TVL is up 24% in the last month, rising to $4.56 billion as of the time of writing on January 27, according to data streams from DeFiLlama. Aave is now the fourth largest DeFi protocol by TVL, trailing Lido Finance, MakerDAO, and Curve. However, the dApp is the second-largest lending protocol by TVL, behind MakerDAO. By launching on Ethereum, and upgrading from the original V2, the protocol’s TVL might gradually increase over the coming weeks or months.  This, in turn, may positively impact AAVE prices. Aave is a decentralized money market, allowing crypto holders to actively lend and borrow various assets. Integrating V3 on Ethereum avails the protocol on six other platforms, including Avalanche, Polygon, and Harmony. Polygon is compatible with Ethereum’s virtual machine, existing as a layer-2 protocol enabling higher scalability and significantly lower trading fees. What Aave V3 Brings  Developers claim Aave V3 introduces various changes that, as the co-founder said, make lending and borrowing more seamless and cheaper.  According to the protocol, this version is optimized to reduce gas costs by around 20-25% across the board. Users can also move assets across all Aave markets, irrespective of the network. By launching on Ethereum, Harmony users, for example, would be free to transfer assets and participate in Aave V3 markets on the most active platform.  Related Reading: Aave Price Recovers Back To $57, But Threat Of New Attack Looms Over Protocol Aave V3 introduces the “Isolated Mode” where Aave governance can vote to list new tokens as isolated assets with specific debt ceilings. Aave clarifies that the debt ceiling is the maximum USD reading that a borrower’s collateral can cover. Only approved tokens, mostly stablecoins, can be borrowed in this mode.

Uniswap Foundation Unveils Major Upgrade Plan, UNI Price Skyrockets 52%

Uniswap (UNI), one of the industry’s largest decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges (DEXs), has set the stage for a major shift in its ecosystem with a proposed upgrade that could have significant implications for UNI token holders.  The upgrade aims to bolster governance participation, enhance resilience, and reward token holders for active engagement within the Uniswap ecosystem. Uniswap Takes Big Leap In Governance Uniswap Foundation (UF) Lead Developer Erin Koen, while expressing his enthusiasm, has suggested that it has been the “biggest week in Uniswap Protocol Governance” and revealed a major upgrade proposal for the system. At the heart of the proposed upgrade lies a fee mechanism designed to reward UNI token holders who stake and delegate their tokens. As announced, by actively participating in the governance process, token holders can earn additional rewards in the form of protocol fees.  In addition to the enhanced rewards, the proposed upgrade seeks to fortify Uniswap Governance, making it more resilient and decentralized.  According to Koen, by increasing the number of actively involved token holders, the governance structure becomes more robust, ensuring that decisions align with the collective interests of the UNI community.  The proposed upgrade maintains governance control over core parameters such as fee-charged pools and fee magnitude. Token holders will collectively decide on these critical aspects, allowing for flexibility and adaptability in response to market dynamics.  Related Reading: Avalanche C-Chain Experiences Block Production Halt, AVAX Price Responds Beyond the immediate benefits, the proposed upgrade holds the potential for long-term value appreciation of the UNI token. By incentivizing participation and aligning token holders’ interests with the ecosystem’s success, Uniswap aims to foster organic growth and adoption.  Assuming a successful on-chain vote, the community will have the option to activate fees. Gauntlet, a trusted entity, is reportedly preparing a proposed roll-out process that will be shared on the forum.  Only after completing this separate governance process will fees be collected and distributed according to the adopted contracts. Koen further noted: Were excited to invigorate governance incentivizing not only delegation but thoughtful and active delegation by tying delegation to protocol fees. Specifically, we believe UNI token holders will be incentivized to choose delegates whose votes and engagement with the protocol will lead to the Protocols growth and success. If this proposal succeeds we believe we will see an influx of new delegations. UNI Records 23-Month High As these developments unfold, considerable excitement has emerged around the Uniswap protocol. Notably, a cryptocurrency investor named “Virtual Bacon” expressed enthusiasm, stating, “Uniswap finally proposes to share revenue with UNI token stakers. Chart exploding on this ‘proposal’ which hasn’t passed yet.”  Within 24 hours, the UNI token witnessed a surge of over 52%, signaling the market’s anticipation of the potential benefits this upgrade could offer token holders. Currently, the UNI token is trading at $11.29. However, with the unveiling of the upgrade proposal, the token quickly surged to the $12.50 level, reaching its highest point in 23 months.  The gains over longer time frames have also experienced a dramatic surge. Over the past fourteen days, the UNI token has seen an impressive increase of 73%. Similarly, the token’s value has soared by 94% in the last thirty days.  Related Reading: Cardano (ADA) Faces Critical Sell Signal: Crypto Analyst Raises Alarm Overall, should the proposed upgrade be approved and implemented, Uniswap will reinforce its position as a leading DEX and establish a framework that empowers token holders and fosters the continued growth and success of the Uniswap protocol.

Uniswap Expands Reach: Deploys v2 Protocol On Six New Chains Including Arbitrum And Polygon

Uniswap (UNI), one of the largest decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges (DEX) by trading volume, has made an important announcement regarding deploying its v2 protocol on six additional chains.  The chains on which the v2 protocol has been deployed include Arbitrum (ARB), Polygon (MATIC), Optimism (OP), Base, Binance Smart Chain (BSC), and Avalanche (AVAX). Uniswap Widens v2 Protocol Deployment According to a recent post on X (formerly Twitter) by Uniswap Labs, the software product developer working on the protocol, the decision to deploy the v2 protocol on more chains is primarily driven by the desire to simplify the experience for Liquidity Providers (LPs). While the protocols v3 offers advanced features tailored for active liquidity providers, the development team believes the v2 protocol offers a more straightforward approach.  By default, v2 pools cover the entire price range, reducing the need for upfront decisions and minimizing the active involvement of liquidity providers. This simplification streamlines the process and makes it more accessible to a broader range of users, according to the announcement.  Related Reading: AVAX Slips, Adding Tension To $365 Million Avalanche Token Unlock Drama Another benefit of using the v2 protocol on multiple chains, according to Uniswap Labs, is its cost efficiency. Creating pools on v2 is more gas efficient than other versions, resulting in lower gas costs to add liquidity.  This cost reduction can be translated into savings for users, making swaps on the platform incredibly affordable. In addition, the use of v2 on Layer 2 scaling solutions significantly reduces the risk of frontrunning and manipulative practices known as Miner Extractable Value (MEV).  Ultimately, by offering an official v2 deployment directly accessible through the Uniswap interface, the developers suggest that users can be assured of a safe and secure environment for their swaps. UNI Price Dip, Platform Metrics Remain Solid Despite the recent developments that could attract investors’ attention and drive broader adoption of the Uniswap protocol, the exchange’s native token, UNI, is currently undergoing a significant correction in line with the overall market trend. Currently, UNI is trading at $7.22, representing a 4.4% price drop in the past 24 hours and a 1.1% decline in the last trading hour. However, it’s worth noting that UNI has been one of the better-performing tokens in the market, with price increases of 14.7% and 16.8% in the past fourteen and thirty days, respectively. Furthermore, according to data from Token Terminal, the Uniswap ecosystem continues to exhibit substantial growth in key metrics.  Related Reading: Bitcoin FOMO Hasnt Spiked Yet: Green Signal For Rally To Continue? The fully diluted market capitalization of Uniswap stands at $7.56 billion, reflecting the total value of all tokens if they were fully in circulation. This figure has experienced a notable increase of 18.4% over the past month.  In contrast, the circulating market capitalization, which considers the currently circulating tokens, is valued at $6.94 billion, indicating a 19.9% increase over the same period. Despite the overall surge in market capitalization, the trading volume of the UNI token has experienced a significant decline of 69.3% over the past 30 days, amounting to $2.79 billion.  The total value locked (TVL), a measure of the value of assets locked within Uniswap’s smart contracts, has also experienced a 14.4% increase, reaching $4.76 billion.  Featured image from Shutterstock, chart from TradingView.com
