Balancer Protocol Expands Liquidity to Polygon's zkEVM Network

Balancer V3 has deployed its first production hook, **StableSurge**, now live across multiple chains. The hook solves a core stable pool problem by making swap fees dynamic based on pool balance. **How it works:** - Fees rise when trades push the pool off balance - Fees drop when trades restore equilibrium - **Directional pricing**: trades that rebalance the pool pay only base fees, while trades increasing imbalance pay surge fees - Two parameters control behavior: `surgeThreshold` (when surge fees activate) and `maxSurgeFee` (the ceiling) **Key innovation:** StableSurge removes the traditional tradeoff between capital efficiency and peg protection. LPs can set higher amplification parameters for better efficiency during normal conditions, while dynamic fees provide protection during volatility. The wstETH/wETH pool adds another layer through **boosted pools**, which automatically deploy capital into Fluid lending markets. This allows LPs to earn both lending yield and swap fees simultaneously, eliminating the choice between lending and providing liquidity.

Balancer V3 has deployed a three-token stablecoin pool on Monad, combining AUSD, USDC, and USDT0 in a single liquidity pool. **Key Features:** - First three-stablecoin pool enabled by Balancer V3 technology - Provides deep liquidity for AUSD stablecoin - Combines swap fees with lending yield for liquidity providers - Operates as both a stable and boosted pool The pool is now live and accessible at [balancer.fi](https://balancer.fi/pools/monad/v3/0x2daa146dfb7eaef0038f9f15b2ec1e4de003f72b). This deployment showcases V3's capability to handle multi-token stable pools, offering traders tighter spreads and liquidity providers additional yield opportunities beyond traditional two-token pairs.

**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.

Balancer is launching its V3 protocol on Monad, an EVM-compatible blockchain capable of processing 10,000 transactions per second with sub-second finality. **Key Details:** - Monad's infrastructure focuses on high-speed execution - Balancer V3 brings programmable liquidity infrastructure to the chain - The integration aims to match fast execution with efficient liquidity management The deployment represents a pairing of Monad's performance capabilities with Balancer's liquidity solutions.

Balancer V3 is deploying on Monad, an EVM chain capable of 10,000 transactions per second with sub-second finality. **The Core Challenge:** - High throughput without adequate liquidity creates inefficiency - Fast execution is meaningless if liquidity pools cannot handle the trading volume - 10,000 TPS requires deep, capital-efficient liquidity infrastructure **The Solution:** Balancer's programmable liquidity aims to provide the capital efficiency needed to support Monad's high-speed execution environment, ensuring pools can absorb significant trading activity without breaking down.
