New DeFi Infrastructure Proposes Single Entity for Chain Money Markets
New DeFi Infrastructure Proposes Single Entity for Chain Money Markets
đź”— One Entity Rules
A new DeFi concept is emerging that could simplify blockchain infrastructure by consolidating multiple services into one entity.
Currently, blockchain networks must interact separately with:
- Lending protocols
- Oracle services
- Curator networks
The proposed solution would allow chains to access complete money market functionality through a single provider with aligned incentives.
This approach aims to reduce complexity while maintaining the "skin in the game" principle - ensuring the service provider has financial stake in successful outcomes.
The concept addresses a key pain point in current DeFi architecture where fragmented services can create operational overhead and potential failure points.
Key benefit: Streamlined access to essential DeFi services without sacrificing decentralization principles.
What if chains didn’t need to talk to lending protocols, oracles & curators separately? What if they could get their money market (that doesn’t blow up) by talking to one entity with skin in the game? What if…
API3 Launches Merkl Campaign on Morpho: 3.65% Fixed APR for wstETH Borrowers
**API3 introduces new incentive campaign** on Morpho lending protocol offering **3.65% fixed APR** for USDC borrowers. **Key Details:** - Use wstETH as collateral to borrow USDC - Maintain health factor below 1.2 to qualify - Campaign runs through Merkl rewards platform - Available on Ethereum mainnet **How it works:** Borrowers deposit wstETH collateral and take USDC loans while keeping their position's health factor under the 1.2 threshold to earn the fixed rate. This builds on API3's existing Morpho incentives, which previously offered $1k/day for wstETH/USDC borrowing and additional rewards for cbBTC/USDC markets.

YeiFinance Launches on Injective EVM with API3 Oracle Integration
**YeiFinance has officially launched on Injective EVM**, integrating API3's first-party oracles with OEV (Oracle Extractable Value) capabilities. - Builders can now access **real-time data feeds** through API3's oracle infrastructure - The integration provides **secure and transparent** data delivery directly from source - API3 served as a **launch partner** for Injective EVM mainnet This deployment enables developers to leverage advanced oracle functionality including OEV capture mechanisms. The partnership represents API3's continued expansion across EVM-compatible networks. Developers can access the data feeds at [market.api3.org/injective](http://market.api3.org/injective).
Morpho's OEV-Boosted Vaults Hit $30M in Deposits
**Morpho's OEV-Boosted Vaults** have reached over **$30 million in deposits**, focusing on sustainable yield generation through blue-chip collateral. Key features: - **Blue-chip collateral only** for reduced risk - **Liquidation incentive recapture** boosts returns - **Real yield** without unsustainable mechanisms The vault emphasizes **principal protection** over high-risk yield farming strategies. Growth from $20M+ in October shows steady adoption of the conservative approach. [Access the vault](https://app.morpho.org/ethereum/vault/0x68Aea7b82Df6CcdF76235D46445Ed83f85F845A3/oev-boosted-usdc)
RLP/USD Oracle Feed Goes Live on API3
**RLP token now has live price feeds** through API3 oracles, providing transparent multi-source pricing across 40+ blockchain networks. **Key details:** - RLP serves as the risk-bearing layer for USR stablecoin - Token holders earn yield by absorbing systemic risk - Available on [API3 Market](https://market.api3.org) This follows the earlier launch of RESOLV/USD feeds in July, expanding Resolv Labs' oracle infrastructure for their DeFi ecosystem.
