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.

Pendle Finance Adds Support for GHO/USR Balancer Pool Token
The GHO/USR Balancer pool continues to expand its DeFi integrations. After reaching $7M TVL within 24 hours of launch, the pool now adds Pendle Finance support to its growing list of integrations. - Pool participants earn multiple yield streams: * Balancer swap fees * Aave lending fees * GHO LP incentives * Pendle rewards (new) The pool previously integrated with Spectra Finance, demonstrating increasing composability in the DeFi ecosystem.
MEV-Cap Hook Now Live on Balancer V3
Balancer V3 has launched the MEV-Cap Hook, a mechanism that captures and redirects MEV back to liquidity providers. The hook dynamically increases pool fees based on priority fees paid, working on any pool type across chains with priority ordering like Base and Optimism. Key ecosystem updates include Balancer joining the Strategic ETH Reserve ($1B+ holdings), StakeDAO's liquid locker surpassing 300K veBAL, and Euler Finance launching the first 100% Boosted Pools on Avalanche. New integrations with GHO and ResolvLabs are expanding to Base, while KelpDAO continues delivering top rsETH/wrsETH pools.
Balancer V3 Launches with 100% Boosted Pools and Hooks
Balancer Protocol has officially launched its V3 upgrade featuring two major improvements: - **100% Boosted Pools** are now fully operational, enhancing capital efficiency - **Hooks functionality** is live, enabling customizable pool behavior These features represent significant technical advances for the protocol, with builders already actively developing on the new infrastructure. Explore the new pools at [Balancer Pools](https://balancer.fi/pools?protocolVersion=3) Learn more about Boosted Pools in the [documentation](https://docs-v3.balancer.fi/concepts/explore-available-balancer-pools/boosted-pool.html)
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.
