Angle Protocol has announced plans to launch two stablecoins, $USDA and $EURA, on the Mode Network. This development follows a recent trend of new launches on the platform, including the introduction of $STONE by Stake Stone. Mode Network users are advised to monitor for potential liquidity provider (LP) rewards associated with these new offerings.

Velodrome's Slipstream concentrated liquidity platform has reported higher swap fees compared to its v2 counterpart for the fifth consecutive epoch. The Slipstream system is designed to provide consistent liquidity provider (LP) rewards across various market conditions. Notably, veVELO token holders receive the entirety of the generated fees. This consistent outperformance suggests a growing preference for Slipstream's concentrated liquidity model among traders and liquidity providers on the Optimism network.

Velodrome's Slipstream concentrated liquidity pools have experienced a surge in fees due to increased trading volumes. The Slipstream model improves upon UniswapV3 by offering wider tick spacing, reducing the need for frequent rebalancing, and providing consistent VELO token rewards to liquidity providers. This incentivizes liquidity provision and helps maintain efficient trading during volatile market conditions. Velodrome complements the concentrated pools with full-range liquidity pools to ensure liquidity availability even during extreme price movements. The platform aims to offer a new paradigm for concentrated liquidity provision and trading with less rebalancing, predictable reward streams, and improved security.

Velodrome, a decentralized exchange on the Optimism network, has announced a referral rewards program offering $OP tokens for successful protocol referrals to Velodrome and Optimism, as well as for drafting successful proposals.

In a significant milestone, the volume on Slipstream, the central trading and liquidity marketplace on Optimism, surpassed the combined volume of all other virtual and smart AMM pools just six weeks after its launch. This rapid growth and adoption demonstrates Slipstream's ability to service the liquidity needs of the Optimism ecosystem. Additionally, the overall volume on Optimism hit a new high of $208 million in the last epoch, the highest since the release of version 2, with Slipstream contributing significantly to this volume. The upcoming Superchain expansion is expected to further drive growth.
