World Chain Upgrades to Native USDC on OP Stack

Optimism has released the **Actions SDK Developer Preview**, an open-source TypeScript toolkit designed to streamline onchain operations. **Key Features:** - Embed wallets and DeFi functionality without complex infrastructure - Perform lending, borrowing, swapping, and payments with minimal code - Reduces development from weeks to hours and 2000+ lines to just 20 lines - Single dependency architecture The SDK aims to help developers bring fintech applications onchain more efficiently.

A new yield automation system is being built using two major DeFi protocols as action providers. **Key Features:** - **[Aave](https://aave.com)** integration brings $30B+ TVL and institutional-grade infrastructure - **[Morpho](https://morpho.org)** provides optimized yield aggregation - Single configuration file manages protocols, markets, and assets - Users deposit USDC and earn yield automatically The system simplifies DeFi yield farming by handling protocol interactions behind the scenes. Additional features are planned for future releases.

Actions SDK now supports three embedded wallet solutions: Privy, Turnkey, and Dynamic. After evaluating over 100 wallet providers, these integrations enable seamless onchain experiences where users remain unaware of blockchain interactions. **Key features:** - Embedded wallet support from three leading providers - Invisible blockchain operations for end users - Simplified onchain adoption This follows previous implementations like DIMO's use of Turnkey for global account management, demonstrating the growing importance of embedded wallets in web3 user experience.

A new product called **Actions** aims to solve a critical gap for financial product builders: users expect 5-10% yields, but traditional offerings provide only 0.1%. **The Problem:** - DeFi protocols can deliver higher yields - Integration requires weeks of specialized development work - Most teams lack the expertise or resources **The Solution:** Actions serves as an entry point, simplifying DeFi integration for traditional financial products. This builds on a broader trend toward **AI-powered yield management** that: - Monitors 100+ platforms in real-time - Auto-diversifies across stablecoins (USDT, USDC, DAI) - Provides risk-based yield suggestions - Distinguishes real yield from subsidy-driven returns The vision: transform DeFi from a manual, complex process into AI-managed digital savings accessible to mainstream users.
