API3

**Vyro Finance** is integrating with the Api3 ecosystem as a CDP (Collateralized Debt Position) protocol. The platform is launching on **Unichain** and will enable users to mint **$vyUSD**, an overcollateralized stablecoin, using the following assets as collateral: - $ETH - $wstETH - $UNI This integration aims to **unlock liquidity** across the broader ecosystem by providing a stable asset backed by multiple collateral types.

**Maple Finance** has launched a new lending feature allowing users to borrow USDC using their $SYRUP tokens as collateral. **Key Details:** - Available exclusively on [Morpho](https://app.morpho.org/ethereum/market/0x729badf297ee9f2f6b3f717b96fd355fc6ec00422284ce1968e76647b258cf44/syrupusdc-usdc) through Kabu USDC - Users can supply SyrupUSDC as collateral while earning approximately 11-12% yield - USDC borrowing rate is around 56% - The mechanism allows for recursive yield farming, generating an additional ~5% yield with each cycle - Curated by Gauntlet and MEV Capital vaults This integration expands utility for SYRUP holders, enabling them to access liquidity without selling their tokens while continuing to earn yield on their collateral.

Morpho has integrated ONDO tokens as collateral, enabling users to borrow USDC against their Ondo Finance positions on Ethereum mainnet. **Key Details:** - ONDO holders can now use their tokens as collateral to borrow USDC - Available on Ethereum mainnet through Morpho's lending protocol - Access the market at [app.morpho.org](https://app.morpho.org/ethereum/market/0x7dea3baf843210ce0a4a9e6374cea47dcd55384fb36d2d701e69b221867b39e5/ondo-usdc) This integration expands borrowing options for real-world asset (RWA) token holders within DeFi.

A new lending market for EIGEN tokens has launched on Morpho's Ethereum mainnet. **Key Details:** - First EIGEN/USDC trading pair now available on the platform - Users can leverage their EIGEN holdings to access liquidity - Market accessible at [app.morpho.org](https://app.morpho.org/ethereum/market/0x6d1dae6238f6f296abb77d9e17a8429132458146bc89d1d2b20516b87a40dee7/eigen-usdc) This addition expands Morpho's lending options, following their recent USDC borrowing incentives on Base and Ethereum mainnet. The platform continues to build out its DeFi lending infrastructure with support for various token pairs.

**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).

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.*

**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 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.

Morpho Labs and Yearn Finance continue their collaboration on OEV (Maximal Extractable Value) recapture through their joint vault initiative. The OEV-Boosted USDC vault has shown significant growth since its launch, surpassing $10M in deposits. Key points: - Partnership focuses on returning value to users - Vault specifically designed for USDC deposits - Plans include expansion to additional markets and chains - Aims to provide sustainable yield opportunities Visit [Morpho's OEV-Boosted Vault](https://app.morpho.org/ethereum/vault/0x68Aea7b82Df6CcdF76235D46445Ed83f85F845A3/oev-boosted-usdc) to learn more.

The upcoming ETHPrague conference (May 27-29) will feature discussions on Optimistic Execution Value (OEV) in DeFi protocols. The event aims to educate developers and protocol owners about: - Methods to recapture value currently being lost in DeFi operations - Implementation strategies for OEV integration - Revenue enhancement opportunities for protocols The conference follows a successful presentation at ETH Bratislava, where similar topics were explored. Attendees can find representatives for detailed discussions by looking for Api3-branded participants.
