Uniswap UNIfication Proposal Passes

The UNIfication proposal has officially passed, marking a major shift in how the Uniswap ecosystem is structured and incentivized. With this vote, protocol fees are now turned on and routed into a unified UNI burn mechanism, aligning protocol usage directly with token value. This means that as Uniswap activity grows across v2, v3, v4, and Unichain, more value flows back to the protocol through sustained UNI burns. At the same time, Unichain sequencer fees are also directed into this system, reinforcing a single economic loop that ties volume, infrastructure, and token economics together.

The proposal also reshapes governance and execution by consolidating ecosystem operations under Uniswap Labs, with a clear mandate to focus entirely on protocol growth. Interface, wallet, and API fees are set to zero to drive adoption, while a new growth budget funded from the treasury supports development, partnerships, and liquidity expansion. Combined with innovations like protocol fee discount auctions and aggregator hooks, UNIfication positions Uniswap to compete head on with centralized venues while staying credibly neutral and fully onchain.

Epic DAO Approves Institutional Expansion Phase 

EPIC has officially entered its next phase of growth after the Epic DAO approved the institutional expansion proposal with 67.7% of votes in favor. The result signals strong community support for moving beyond a consumer-first RWA ecosystem and leaning into deeper institutional alignment. It reflects a shared view that the next wave of real-world asset adoption will be driven by stronger infrastructure, liquidity, and partnerships with established players.

With the vote passed, EPIC now has a clear mandate to accelerate institutional partnerships, expand liquidity support, and scale the platform in line with global RWA adoption trends. This marks a strategic shift from proving product-market fit at the consumer level to building the foundations required for long-term, institution-grade growth. Read the full proposal here.

Celo 2025 Year in Review

Celo Foundation closed out 2025 with a clear message: while much of crypto focused on narratives, Celo focused on delivery. The network hit record adoption, became the number one Layer 2 by daily active users, and emerged as the leading transport layer for USDT, driven by real usage across emerging markets. The migration to Ethereum as an L2, major infrastructure upgrades like the Jello hardfork, and deep integrations with partners such as Opera MiniPay turned Celo into a payments-first network with real product-market fit.

Beyond the metrics, 2025 proved that Celo’s long-term approach works. Stablecoins became everyday money, mobile-first UX scaled globally, and builders shipped across DeFi, identity, and payments without disrupting the user experience. With over a billion lifetime transactions, millions of new users, and a growing developer base, Celo enters 2026 focused on scaling what already works rather than chasing hype. Read the 2025 year in review here.

EPIC DAO Proposal, Institutional Expansion 

EPIC has opened a governance proposal focused on accelerating institutional expansion across its Real World Asset ecosystem. The proposal outlines a plan to mint 12 percent of the token supply, already permitted under a prior DAO vote, to fund partnerships with institutions that can help scale RWAs into the next phase of growth. The goal is to move beyond a strong consumer driven product and secure the liquidity, integrations, and alignment needed to operate at institutional scale, following a path already proven by leaders like Ondo, Chainlink, Ripple, and Securitize.

The proposal argues that RWAs are the clearest bridge between traditional finance and onchain markets, but that long term leadership in this sector requires deliberate institutional involvement backed by capital. EPIC positions itself as uniquely prepared, with an active user base, real spending via its card ecosystem, and a strong cultural layer already in place. What remains is the funding to close and support enterprise partnerships while market momentum is strong. The DAO is now deciding whether to act immediately or wait for broader market conditions to improve. Read the full proposal here

OKX has officially moved its XLayer network from Polygon CDK to the OP Stack, making one of the world’s largest exchanges the latest major operator to build on Optimism’s open, production-ready Layer 2 framework. With billions in daily trading volume, OKX’s decision signals how enterprises now view on chain infrastructure as critical financial rails that need reliability, transparency, and strong operational standards.

By rebuilding XLayer on the OP Stack, OKX gains full control over its network while joining an ecosystem powering most of today’s Ethereum L2 activity. The migration reflects a broader shift as global companies standardize on shared, battle-tested infrastructure to reduce complexity and ship products faster. Read the full announcement here.

Optimism Chooses Ether.fi as Its Liquid Staking Partner

Optimism has selected Ether.fi’s weETH as its liquid staking partner on OP Mainnet, marking a major step in building a safer, more institutionally aligned DeFi environment. After reviewing all proposals submitted to the Liquid Staking RFP, Ether.fi stood out for its liquidity depth, strong yields, ecosystem fit, and transparent architecture. The partnership sets weETH up as a core asset for OP Mainnet, supporting better integrations across DEXs, lending markets, custodial platforms, and other financial primitives.

This move strengthens OP Mainnet’s foundation for long-term growth while keeping the ecosystem open to multiple liquid staking protocols as demand expands. With weETH playing a key role, Optimism is pushing toward a more resilient, scalable, and trusted financial layer for builders and users across the Superchain. Read the full announcement here.

The new World App 

World is rolling out a new version of the World App that turns it into a kind of super app for verified humans, blending chat, payments, and mini apps in one place. Chat World lets people message with end to end encryption while seeing who is verified as a real human, then send money as easily as sending a text, split bills in groups, and use mini apps like games, savings tools, and prediction markets right inside the conversation. Underneath, World ID and Orb verification help create a network where people can trust who they are talking to without giving up their privacy.

On the finance side, the app now supports virtual accounts in dozens of countries, making it possible to receive salaries, move money from banks, hold stablecoins like USDC and EURC, and earn variable rewards through the new Earn feature, all from a single wallet. People can store, convert, and spend more than a hundred assets, use QR payments at merchants, and soon tap to pay with the World Card. Together, these updates push the World App closer to its goal of giving anyone a simple way to prove they are human, move money globally, and use everyday mini apps on the same rails. Read the full update here.

OP Succinct Lite launches on Celo 

OP Succinct Lite is now live on Celo Mainnet, marking one of the biggest technical milestones in the network’s move toward a faster, more secure Ethereum Layer 2. With the Jello Hardfork activated, Celo now runs on a ZK powered fault proof system, a fully auditable EigenDA bridge, and a new challenger set that monitors proposer behavior in real time. This brings stronger security guarantees, better data availability, and a much more resilient foundation for the payments and mobile first use cases that define Celo’s mission.

This upgrade has been nearly a year in the making, shaped through deep collaboration between cLabs, Succinct, and EigenDA. It also sets the stage for even higher throughput, improved interoperability with Ethereum, and a clear path toward Stage 2 readiness. It is a major step forward for making global, low cost onchain payments work at scale. Read the full announcement here.

Build on Cyber’s Surf  raises 15M

Surf, the AI platform built specifically for crypto, has raised 15 million dollars in a round led by Pantera Capital, with support from Coinbase Ventures and DCG. The team created Surf after seeing how often general AI models hallucinate when answering crypto questions, which can lead to real financial risk. Instead, Surf is trained entirely on crypto native data so it can answer everything from beginner questions to deep technical queries with far higher accuracy. Since launching publicly in September, the platform has already grown to more than 300,000 users and generated over a million search results.

The company is now preparing to launch Surf 2.0 in early 2026, aiming to push model quality even further for developers, traders, and institutions. With revenue already in the millions and demand from both retail users and crypto companies, Surf is positioning itself as the go to AI assistant for the industry. Read the full announcement here.

Fusaka Upgrade on the Superchain

Fusaka is now live on Ethereum mainnet, marking one of the biggest upgrades to Ethereum’s data layer since EIP 4844 and delivering a major boost to scalability for Optimism and the full Superchain. With contributions from teams across OP Labs, Base, Soneium, and Ethereum core clients, the upgrade introduces PeerDAS and the Blob Parameter Only mechanism, two changes that increase data availability throughput while keeping the network secure and decentralized. PeerDAS makes it possible to verify blob availability through sampling instead of full downloads, opening the door to higher blob limits and cheaper rollup transactions. BPO then allows Ethereum to safely raise blob capacity between major hardforks, with the first two BPO adjustments already scheduled for December and January.

This work directly addresses the growing demand for L2 blockspace, which pushed Ethereum’s existing blob limits close to saturation over the past year. With Fusaka live, OP Stack chains gain more throughput, lower fees, and a clear path for continuous scaling as Ethereum upgrades its data layer. The next step is a dedicated Superchain upgrade in early 2026 that will adopt Fusaka’s EIPs into the OP Stack. The result is a more predictable, more scalable foundation for L2s and a strong example of how tight collaboration between Ethereum and the Superchain moves the entire ecosystem forward.

Startale USD on Soneium 

Startale is introducing Startale USD (USDSC) and STAR Points to power real onchain activity across the Startale App on Soneium. USDSC is a new digital dollar built with M0, backed by short term US Treasuries and designed as stable infrastructure for payments, rewards, and everyday transactions. It is positioned as the default currency inside the Startale App and across the Soneium ecosystem, letting users earn rewards, hold value with clear collateral transparency, and withdraw anytime, all while keeping stable value at the core of the experience.

Alongside USDSC, STAR Points serve as the native reward system that turns onchain activity into tangible benefits. Users can earn STAR Points by holding USDSC, providing liquidity, completing missions, and interacting with mini apps, with future perks like gas credits, higher reward tiers, and access to priority token launches. Together, USDSC and STAR Points aim to make onchain finance on Soneium intuitive, rewarding, and ready for mainstream users, while giving builders a stable and programmable foundation to build on. Read the full announcement here.

The Base-Solana bridge

Base has launched the Base Solana bridge on mainnet, secured by Chainlink CCIP alongside Coinbase. The bridge lets people move assets between Base and Solana, so users can bring SOL and other Solana tokens into Base apps and use Base assets in the Solana ecosystem. It is already rolling out in apps like Zora, Aerodrome, Virtuals, Flaunch, and Relay, giving traders and builders an easier way to access liquidity and activity on both networks.

For developers, the bridge is open source and ready to integrate, making it possible to support Solana assets natively inside Base applications and build smoother cross chain experiences. This fits Base’s goal of being a connected hub rather than a closed island, where every asset and every network can plug into the same onchain economy. Read the full bridge update here.

Lisk Joins UN’s ScaleX Accelerator 

Lisk has been announced as the first partner of ScaleX, a new global accelerator created by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization to help deep tech startups test, validate, and scale their solutions in real world environments.

By joining ScaleX at launch, Lisk helps create an environment where Web3 startups can validate their work, access new markets, and scale solutions tied directly to industrial development and economic opportunity. Read the full announcement here.

Celo and Opera Extend Partnership to Accelerate MiniPay 

Celo and Opera are extending their long running partnership with a shared goal of bringing open, low cost stablecoin payments to a billion people by 2030. MiniPay, built on Celo, has already become one of the fastest growing Web3 wallets with more than 11 million activated wallets and over 300 million transactions. Its reach across emerging markets, backed by integrations with major payment platforms like Mercado Pago and PIX, has helped Celo emerge as the number one Ethereum Layer 2 by daily active users and the top transport layer for USD₮. 

Together, Celo and Opera want to make stablecoin payments as seamless as messaging, connecting onchain value with the real financial tools people use every day. Looking ahead to 2026, the partnership will deepen MiniPay’s role as a bridge between traditional payment systems and onchain utility. New features like gold backed assets, stablecoin powered cards, and a global mini app ecosystem will give users more ways to save, spend, and build wealth on Celo. To support this growth, Celo and Opera will launch a Mini App Roadshow across Asia and South America to expand the developer ecosystem and introduce MiniPay to millions of new users.

Optimism New Homepage puts the OP Stack front and centre

Optimism’s new homepage makes its mission easy to understand. The goal is simple: give anyone the power to launch their own blockchain and build financial products that run on fast, open, and affordable onchain rails. Instead of relying on outdated banking systems or closed platforms, Optimism focuses on tools that help real businesses reach more users, cut costs, and ship new products quickly. The OP Stack brings everything together in a way that feels practical, familiar, and ready for scale.

At the heart of it is a belief that the future of finance should not live on someone else’s chain. It should live on your own. Optimism gives teams ownership, speed, and flexibility while staying secured by Ethereum and supported by a growing network of chains and developers. It is already powering millions of daily transactions and helping both startups and major companies build the next generation of financial services. Check out the full homepage here.

Sunnyside Labs and OP Labs introduce Backup Sequencing

Backup sequencing is becoming a key part of how OP Mainnet stays reliable as it grows into critical infrastructure. By working with OP Labs, Sunnyside Labs now helps operate the conductor set that keeps block production running even when something fails. This spreads responsibility across independent teams and environments, which raises reliability far beyond what a single operator can provide. It is a small shift in architecture that has already proven its value, keeping OP Mainnet free from unsafe downtime since early 2025.

This work is part of a broader push to make the OP Stack more resilient and more customizable. Reliability is the first focus, but the same approach is already guiding upcoming research into block building and chain level customization. The goal is a Superchain that grows stronger as more teams participate, where redundancy and decentralization are built into the foundation rather than added later. Read the full post here.

Kraken Team Unveils Nado on Ink, a High-Speed CLOB DEX

Nado is introducing a new kind of trading experience on Ink. Built by the team behind Kraken, it brings spot, perps, and unified margin into a single CLOB engine with the kind of speed traders usually only get on centralized platforms. Orders match in 5 to 15 milliseconds, which cuts slippage and keeps pricing steady even when markets move fast. With unified margin, your entire portfolio works as one pool of collateral, making multi leg strategies easier and helping reduce liquidation risk.

On top of execution speed, Nado adds tools that give traders real control. Subaccounts, isolated margin, TWAP, full and partial take profit and stop loss settings, and advanced order types make it easier to manage risk and run complex strategies. Liquidity providers can also join the NLP program to earn on idle funds while improving the market itself. Private Alpha is open with limited spots for traders who want to test the platform early and help shape what comes next.

AyaHQ and Lisk Kick Off a New Incubation Program

AyaHQ and Lisk have officially launched their new incubation program, bringing together founders from across Africa who are building products for real users and real problems. After reviewing hundreds of applications from more than a dozen countries, the program selected a diverse group of teams working on payments, liquidity, analytics, trade finance, art provenance, legal tools, and more. Over the next three and a half months, these founders will receive hands on support, mentorship, and access to investment as they shape products designed for scale.

The program is built around a simple idea. Builders in Africa are creating some of the most practical and high impact onchain solutions, and they deserve the resources to go even further. AyaHQ and Lisk are combining their ecosystems to give these teams the tools, networks, and guidance needed to grow. It is not just an incubation program. It is a commitment to support founders who are shaping the next wave of onchain innovation across the continent.

Banking on BOB: The Bank of Bitcoin

BOB is painting a clear picture of what banking on Bitcoin can look like. The idea is simple. Your money should sit on rails you actually control, not inside old banking systems or centralized platforms that hold your assets for you. BOB takes Bitcoin’s security and turns it into a foundation for spending, saving, borrowing, and earning in one place. Instead of wrapped assets, custodians, or complicated flows, everything runs on open infrastructure where your BTC stays your BTC. With vaults, Bitcoin intents, a hybrid chain, and a builder friendly SDK, BOB is creating a practical path for millions of people to use Bitcoin in real financial products.

What makes this vision stand out is how big the opportunity is. Only a small fraction of Bitcoin is active in DeFi today, even though its size, liquidity and trust make it an ideal collateral asset. BOB wants to close that gap by fixing UX, solving crosschain security with BitVM, and making native BTC accessible across many chains, apps, and wallets. Over time, this becomes the foundation for a true Bank of Bitcoin where custody, trading, lending, and savings all happen on Bitcoin rails with simple user flows. It is a long term roadmap, but each phase pushes Bitcoin closer to becoming everyday money for the world. Read the full post here

The BOB token has a fixed supply of 10 billion, with over half dedicated to the community and ecosystem initiatives. 22% of the total supply is unlocked at launch, while the remaining tokens vest gradually to ensure long-term alignment among contributors, backers, and users. Holders can stake their BOB to secure the network, participate in governance, and gain access to exclusive DeFi opportunities such as BTC vaults and hybrid yield markets. As adoption scales, the BOB DAO plans to activate buyback mechanisms tied to network revenue, further strengthening alignment between users and protocol growth.

What's Hot in Superchain?

Zora Introduces Liquidity-Based Pricing 

Zora has upgraded how it calculates the value of tokens in users’ wallets by introducing liquidity-based pricing. Instead of using simple spot prices, Zora now simulates real swaps through Uniswap V3 and V4 pools to determine what users would actually receive if they sold their tokens. This new approach accounts for liquidity depth, slippage, fees, and multi-hop routing, giving users a more accurate estimate of their holdings’ true market value.

By caching pool data and running parallel simulations across millions of tokens, Zora ensures wallets load quickly without sacrificing precision. The result is a more reliable and realistic reflection of token value that mirrors actual onchain market behavior. Learn more here.  

Zora Token Gated DMs 

Zora has introduced token-gated direct messages, giving creators more control over who can contact them while adding real economic value to social interactions. To send a message, users must hold at least 1 million of a creator’s coin, ensuring that DMs come from genuine supporters rather than spam accounts. If both users hold 1 million of each other’s coins, messages open automatically without needing a request.

This system transforms messaging into an onchain social layer where access is earned through participation and ownership. It rewards engaged communities, filters noise, and creates a new kind of social economy powered by tokens. Learn more here.

Superseed Roadmap to SuperCDP 

Superseed has announced a four-phase roadmap that will lead to the launch of SuperCDP, its full-scale decentralized credit and yield system. The journey begins in Q4 2025 with SuperMarket, a new money market on Ethereum where users can borrow and lend major assets while earning native incentives. Once liquidity and user traction are established, Superseed will introduce suprUSD, a yield-bearing stablecoin that can be instantly redeemed 1:1 for leading stablecoins, giving users stability, flexibility, and sustainable returns from day one.

The next phase will expand suprUSD into SuperMarket, allowing users to earn, borrow, and explore new “Earning Opportunities.” All of this builds toward the final step, SuperCDP, a robust collateralized debt system designed for both Ethereum and Superseed L2. By starting where liquidity already exists and growing from there, Superseed is taking a practical approach to building lasting utility before introducing leverage. Learn more here. 

BOB Token and Community Sale 

BOB has launched its first Community Sale, giving users a chance to join the Gateway to Bitcoin DeFi at discounted rates with faster vesting than private rounds. Running from November 10 to 13, the sale will offer 4% of the total $BOB token supply across two tranches — one open to the general public and another for top BOB community members, including Spice holders and Cookie snappers. This marks an important step toward a community-owned Bitcoin DeFi platform that includes both retail users and ecosystem contributors.

$BOB is the native token of the BOB hybrid chain, designed for security, governance, and utility. Token holders can stake to support the network, participate in onchain governance, and gain access to features and rewards. By combining Bitcoin’s security with Ethereum’s flexibility, BOB is creating a unified platform for BTC-backed DeFi, enabling staking, lending, and 1-click swaps across multiple chains. The Community Sale is an opportunity for early supporters to help shape the future of Bitcoin DeFi. Learn more here.
