Balancer Team to Present at DappCon Berlin 2025

A new stablecoin pool featuring Aave's GHO and Falcon's USDf has launched on Balancer V3 mainnet. The pool implements triple yield mechanics: - Aave lending rewards - Trading fee revenue - Additional incentives via Aura Finance Key features include: - Boosted Pool design with 100% capital utilization - Stable Surge peg protection mechanism - Dynamic swap fees during market imbalances - Built-in MEV resistance Current rewards rate stands at 59,110% APR. LPs can provide liquidity through Balancer V3 and stake via Aura Finance.

Balancer has unveiled a redesigned veBAL interface aligned with Balancer V3's visual identity. The update focuses on improving the user experience for $BAL token holders who participate in governance. Key features: - Streamlined process for locking $BAL tokens - Simplified gauge voting interface - Enhanced pool incentives visibility - Calendar integration for vote tracking The new interface maintains core governance functionality while reducing friction points. Users can access all veBAL features at [balancer.fi/vebal](https://balancer.fi/vebal). This update follows recent DAO initiatives to optimize liquidity, including deactivating inactive v2 gauges and boosting incentives for high-performing pools.

Balancer welcomes Rocket Pool to the Balancer Alliance, focusing on strengthening rETH liquidity across the ecosystem. The partnership includes: - Deep liquidity provision for rETH/wETH pools - Protocol revenue directed to veBAL purchases - Active collaboration with Balancer DAO The alliance leverages Balancer's AMM architecture for capital-efficient routing and programmable incentives, specifically designed for liquid staking tokens like rETH. The proposal has received strong community support and aims to create a sustainable flywheel benefiting LPs, veBAL holders, and Rocket Pool participants.

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.
