MEV-Cap Hook Now Live on Balancer V3
Balancer V3 has launched the MEV-Cap Hook, a mechanism that captures and redirects MEV back to liquidity providers. The hook dynamically increases pool fees based on priority fees paid, working on any pool type across chains with priority ordering like Base and Optimism. Key ecosystem updates include Balancer joining the Strategic ETH Reserve ($1B+ holdings), StakeDAO's liquid locker surpassing 300K veBAL, and Euler Finance launching the first 100% Boosted Pools on Avalanche. New integrations with GHO and ResolvLabs are expanding to Base, while KelpDAO continues delivering top rsETH/wrsETH pools.

Balancer V3 Introduces MEV-Cap Hook to Benefit Liquidity Providers
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.
