Rocket Pool's rETH Launches on Monad Network

Rocket Pool's rETH Launches on Monad Network

Rocket Pool's liquid staking token **rETH** is now available on the Monad network. The integration allows users to bridge their rETH to Monad while continuing to earn the same Ethereum staking rewards. Once on Monad, rETH holders can access new DeFi opportunities, including a boosted liquidity pool on Balancer. This expansion brings Ethereum's decentralized liquid staking option to Monad's ecosystem, combining staking yields with additional DeFi utility.

Balancer Governance Overhaul: veBAL Replaced with Multi-Chain BAL Voting

**BIP-921** is now live on Snapshot, marking a significant shift in Balancer's governance structure. **Key Changes:** - Raw BAL token balances replace veBAL as voting power source - No token lockup or decay mechanisms required - Quorum threshold set at 10M BAL - Voting enabled across 7 chains: Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, Optimism, Gnosis, and Avalanche This proposal follows the sunset of veBAL and simplifies participation by removing lockup requirements. BAL holders on any of the supported chains can now participate in governance decisions. Vote on [Snapshot](https://snapshot.org/#/s:balancer.eth).

Monad Enables Scalable Multi-Token Pools with Sub-Second Finality

**Monad's infrastructure breakthrough enables complex DeFi operations at scale.** The platform delivers: - **Sub-second finality** for near-instant transaction confirmation - **Parallel execution** allowing multiple operations simultaneously - **Cost-efficient multi-token pools** that remain practical at scale This technical foundation removes the latency and cost barriers that previously made complex pool operations inefficient on other chains. The infrastructure is purpose-built to support ambitious DeFi protocols requiring high throughput and low costs. Monad's approach addresses a core challenge in decentralized finance: maintaining performance as complexity increases.
