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.

Key features: - Powered by Morpho Labs and curated by Steakhouse - 100% LP liquidity redeposited into lending markets - Enhanced yields through lending incentives - Fully compliant solution for business operations The stablecoins are issued by StablR ($USDR) and Quantoz ($USDQ), designed for both on-chain and off-chain financial solutions.
