Balancer: Leading Protocol for Yield-Bearing Liquidity
Balancer: Leading Protocol for Yield-Bearing Liquidity
With over $330M in TVL and $8.6B in swap volume, Balancer has positioned itself as one of the top protocols for harnessing the power of Yield Bearing (YB) liquidity. The success is attributed to tailored-made technology, ecosystem integration, and incentive growth programs. Balancer's Composable Stable Pool (CSP) with an in-built Rate Provider ensures accurate yield-bearing token rates, minimizes risk, and optimizes capital efficiency. The protocol also emphasizes ecosystem integration and has collaborated with notable protocols to fuel the next wave of innovation. Balancer is becoming the hub for Liquid Restaking Tokens (LRTs), offering efficient hosting and growth of LRT liquidity.

Balancer V3 Introduces MEV-Cap Hook to Benefit Liquidity Providers
Balancer V3 launches MEV-Cap Hook, a new feature that redirects Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) back to liquidity providers. The system works by dynamically adjusting pool fees based on priority fees paid by MEV bots on OP Stack chains like Base and Optimism. Key features: - Higher priority fees trigger higher dynamic pool fees - Captured value stays within the pool - Works across all pool types, not just ETH pairs The mechanism allows MEV bots to operate while ensuring value flows back to LPs instead of leaking out. Currently live on Base, with plans to expand MEV protection offerings through collaboration with CoW Protocol.
