Ethena's USDe stablecoin has integrated with Plasma's infrastructure through a new USDe/USDT liquidity pool that reached $28M TVL.
The pool combines three key technologies:
- Stable pool tech for efficient stablecoin swaps
- Aave boosting that deploys 100% of liquidity to lending markets
- StableSurge dynamic fee adjustment
USDe is a synthetic dollar backed by crypto collateral with delta-hedging strategies, eliminating traditional banking dependencies. This crypto-native architecture aligns with Plasma's decentralized stablecoin vision.
How it works:
- Liquidity providers earn both swap fees and Aave lending yields simultaneously
- StableSurge automatically adjusts fees based on pool balance
- Fees increase on trades that destabilize the pool, decrease for balanced flow
The integration showcases how specialized stablecoin infrastructure can achieve maximum capital efficiency on purpose-built chains.
