API3 DAO Ships New Integrations and Vaults Amid Market Volatility

API3 Oracles Recapture Liquidation Value for Markets

API3 has developed an oracle system that changes how liquidation profits are distributed in DeFi markets. **How it works:** - When price movements trigger position liquidations, those updates generate value - Traditionally, this value goes to MEV searchers and block builders - API3's oracles capture this value and return it to the market itself **Current deployment:** - Over 200 data feeds available on the API3 Market - Integrated with OEV Network across 40+ chains - Provides real-time data access with value recapture built in This approach redirects profits that would normally leak out of protocols back to the platforms and their users, rather than being extracted by third parties.

Zero-Percent Borrow Campaign Runs Without Token Emissions

A new 0% borrowing campaign is operating without token emissions, breaking from the typical DeFi playbook. **How it differs:** - Traditional campaigns print tokens as rewards - Farmers typically dump those tokens immediately - Rates rise again once emissions end **This approach:** - No new tokens are minted - The market sustains itself organically - Eliminates the boom-bust cycle of emission-based incentives This model addresses a recurring problem in DeFi where artificial incentives create temporary activity that evaporates when rewards stop flowing.

Api3 Activates Security Monitoring for Morpho Vaults with Hypernative Partnership

Api3 has launched enhanced security monitoring for its Morpho vaults through a partnership with Hypernative Labs. **Key Features:** - Continuous monitoring layer added to existing security infrastructure - Protection against malicious actors through specialized watchguard system - Three vaults now live with enhanced security: - [Api3 dCOMP USDC](https://app.morpho.org/ethereum/vault/0x36cfe1568461E499391ef0A555300F1ae2da2439/api3-dcomp-usdc) - [Api3 Core USDC](https://app.morpho.org/ethereum/vault/0xe2221Aa07ec3266DA87763E2b1e28d07A8a4e53b/api3-core-usdc) - [Kabu USDC](https://app.morpho.org/ethereum/vault/0x54210d3f1A066413891AF9E17210E787d5C6e3f4/kabu-usdc) The vaults combine OEV-boosted yields with first-party oracle data and now include always-on security monitoring as an additional protective layer beyond Api3's existing curation and oracle security measures.
