Balancer v3 Launches with Major DeFi Protocol Integrations

A new triple-yield USDT/GHO/USDC pool has launched on Avalanche, featuring Balancer's StableSurge hook technology. The pool offers: - Trading fees - Extra AVAX rewards - AAVE incentives - Balancer incentives The StableSurge hook implements dynamic fee scaling to protect the stablecoin peg. When trades push prices away from $1, fees increase automatically. Recent performance data shows the effectiveness of this mechanism - similar pools generated higher fees with lower volume compared to Uniswap and Curve alternatives.

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.
