BlackholeDex Becomes Leading DEX on Avalanche

**Algebra Integral introduces a revolutionary modular DEX framework** that separates core functionality from customizable features. **Key Features:** - **Immutable Core**: Liquidity storage and swap math remain secure and unchangeable - **Flexible Plugins**: Everything else can be swapped, upgraded, or disabled as needed - **Modular Design**: DEX builders can customize functionality without touching core contracts **What This Means:** Algebra provides the foundational code while DEX teams build custom experiences on top. This approach allows for: - Dynamic fee structures - Custom trading features - Upgradeable functionality - Risk-free experimentation **The Bigger Picture:** This modular approach represents a shift from monolithic DEX designs to composable infrastructure. Teams can now focus on user experience and unique features rather than rebuilding core AMM logic from scratch. Algebra already powers 90+ DEXes across 70+ chains, processing over $150B in volume. The Integral framework makes this battle-tested infrastructure even more accessible. [Contact Algebra](http://algebra.finance/form/) to start building your custom DEX.

**Neura.io launches testnet** for its EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain focused on DeFi and real-time finance. Key features include: - Lightning-fast block times - Instant transaction finality - Full Ethereum compatibility **Available activities:** - Bridge assets to the network - Stake tokens - Explore the Neuraverse ecosystem The team hints at potential **DEX integration** coming soon, though no timeline was provided. Neura positions itself as infrastructure for next-generation decentralized finance applications requiring high-speed execution.

**Chainalysis Hexagate** and **Algebra Integral** have launched the **Safety Switch plugin** - a modular security framework that allows DEXes to pause specific liquidity pools during potential attacks. **Key Features:** - **Real-time threat detection** through Hexagate monitoring - **Selective pool pausing** without affecting user fund withdrawals - **Role-based access**: Guards can pause pools, Admins can resume operations - **Low gas overhead**: Only ~14k additional gas per transaction **How it works:** 1. Hexagate detects suspicious activity 2. Automatically pauses affected pools via Safety Switch 3. DEX teams investigate and reactivate when safe **Pool Status Options:** - ENABLED: Normal operations - DISABLED: All operations stopped - BURN_ONLY: Only liquidity withdrawals allowed The plugin operates through Integral's modular architecture using hook points to intercept transactions. It provides **separation of powers** where security vendors act as watchers while DEX teams retain ultimate control. **Benefits:** - Proactive threat response before exploits occur - Maintains decentralization while adding security - Users can always withdraw funds during pauses - Available to all DEXes using Algebra Integral without redeployment This represents a significant advancement in DeFi security, moving from reactive post-exploit responses to proactive threat prevention.

**Algebra has established itself as a major DEX infrastructure provider** with impressive metrics across the DeFi ecosystem. **Key achievements:** - Powers 90+ decentralized exchanges - Processed $150B+ in total trading volume - Handles 8% of all EVM trading activity - Reached $807M in peak daily trading volume **The platform offers ready-to-integrate code** that enables exchanges to leverage Algebra's proven technology without building from scratch. Algebra Integral serves as a **modular CLAMM framework** that is capital-efficient, upgradeable, and customizable for DEX operators.
