Aura

Hyperlock, Aura's first franchise on Blast L2, has experienced rapid growth, becoming the third largest protocol on Blast with a total value locked (TVL) of $227 million in just over a month since its launch. Hyperlock acts as a layer on top of Thruster, boosting rewards for liquidity providers (LPs) and eventually THRUST stakers. It has introduced yield trading opportunities to Blast, allowing users to receive fixed yields on USDB or WETH or optimize for points from various programs. The emergence of points programs and yield trading via Pendle has become a major theme in DeFi. Hyperlock's success benefits Aura through HYPER token allocations, potential Thruster fee share, pooled resources, and collaboration.

Dune Analytics, a platform for analyzing blockchain data, has released updated dashboards for users to explore. The defilytica page by Xeonusify and the work of data wizard Hyferion are highlighted as excellent resources. The update also mentions an intern being banished to Siberia, likely a humorous reference.

The Avalanche network has experienced a remarkable 849% increase in its Total Value Locked (TVL) over the past week. This surge in TVL indicates a growing interest and adoption of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications built on the Avalanche blockchain. The network aims to enhance yield potential and governance power for DeFi stakeholders, starting with the Balancer protocol.

A recently passed proposal, AIP-66, aims to address user frustration over earning AURA rewards on Layer 2 networks due to lack of liquidity. The proposal will allocate up to 5% of the total AURA token supply to each of the following Layer 2 networks: Arbitrum, Base, Polygon PoS, and Polygon zkEVM. This move is expected to boost the yield potential and governance power of DeFi stakeholders, starting with the Balancer protocol.

Stakewise.io, a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform, has introduced a novel approach to Ethereum staking. Their platform allows users to mint osETH (Optimistic Staked Ethereum) against individual nodes from their marketplace. This unique feature sets Stakewise apart from other staking providers. Additionally, Stakewise has an osETH-wETH pool with a total value locked (TVL) of $22 million, providing users with yield opportunities and governance power within the Balancer ecosystem.

Isekai Money, a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol, has announced the launch of its XP Portal Event. The event aims to collect real-yield generating assets, with a target allocation of 45% for AURA. Participants who deposit funds during the event will be eligible to receive XP and eXP rewards upon its conclusion. Isekai Money's community focuses on boosting the yield potential and governance power of DeFi stakeholders, starting with the Balancer protocol.

Aura Finance has announced the launch of the first leveraged vault on the Mainnet. This vault allows for leveraged yield on USDC and provides liquidity for the GHO token. The company aims to boost the yield potential and governance power of DeFi stakeholders, starting with Balancer.

Aura has officially launched its liquidity pools on the Avalanche mainnet, allowing Balancer liquidity providers to earn boosted rewards. New pools and incentives are expected to be announced on Thursday. Aura aims to boost the yield potential and governance power of DeFi stakeholders, starting with Balancer.

Aura Finance, a decentralized finance platform, has announced that liquidity providers in its GYD pools can earn 5 times the SPIN token rewards and 25-41% additional rewards from AURA/BAL tokens. This incentive aims to boost yield potential for DeFi stakeholders while providing better liquidity pool diversification against de-pegging risks and servicing trading volumes through GYD. Aura Finance's community initiative focuses on enhancing yield opportunities and governance power for DeFi participants, starting with Balancer.

Aura, a protocol focused on boosting DeFi stakeholders' yield potential and governance power, has seen its lockers (vlAURA holders) benefit from exceptionally high annual percentage rates (APRs) recently. Seven of the top 10 epochs with the highest APRs for Aura have occurred in the past eight weeks, with rates exceeding 90%. This surge in yield is attributed to Aura's close relationship with Balancer, as Aura owns 60% of all veBAL (vote-escrowed Balancer tokens). Balancer's increasing revenue has led to higher demand for BAL tokens and increased the value of emissions, translating into more incentives for Aura lockers. The recent tokenomics changes outlined in AIP-63 have also contributed to the elevated APRs, with Aura's AURA/ETH pool receiving nearly 60% APY.
