Thena

THENA adjusted the share of trading fees generated by liquidity staked in its gauges. Starting this Epoch, 100% of those fees go to veTHE and theNFT holders, up from the previous split for gauged positions.

The change applies to liquidity staked in THENA gauges and sits alongside a separate adjustment that raised the fee share for non-gauge V3,3 pools on BNB Chain to 88%.

The THENA Foundation addressed community concerns about the recent issuance of additional $THE tokens, describing it as a necessary step to secure the network's future and fund accelerated development and growth. The Foundation noted that THE-03 (ARK) was previously implemented as an alternative to THE-02, which it is now executing as the approved strategic treasury expansion tied to the THENA 2.0 roadmap.

• The mint was tied to the previously governance-approved THE-02 treasury expansion proposal.
• THE-03 (ARK) had been implemented earlier as an alternative approach.
• The announcement did not detail the minted amount, allocation, or distribution schedule.

THENA said it spent the past two months reviewing its smart contracts, permissions, dependencies, and third-party integrations, conducting audits and implementing security improvements. The team framed the work as proactive hardening, citing the growing capability of AI and the steady emergence of new vulnerabilities.

Key points:

• Review covered smart contracts, permissions, dependencies, and third-party integrations.
• Included audits and implementation of security improvements.
• Framed as ongoing proactive security work, with THENA pointing to its record of "keeping funds safe since 2023."

THENA issued a clarification in response to the disclosure of critical PHP runtime vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, dubbed "php2shell"), stating that the platform does not use PHP, so the flaws have no impact on THENA. The team advised users to stay safe against phishing and related attempts.

Key points:

• The statement follows the public disclosure of two critical, actively-scrutinized PHP RCE vulnerabilities.
• THENA says its stack does not include PHP, so its platform is unaffected.
• No action required from THENA users beyond normal caution.

Liquidity providers in V3,3 pools on BNB Chain that fall outside the $THE gauge system now earn 88% of trading fees, up from the previous arrangement. The change is designed to boost yields for pools that are not receiving gauge emissions.

Key points:

• Applies to V3,3 liquidity providers on BNB Chain outside the THE gauge system.
• Providers in those pools now take 88% of trading fees.
• Positioned as a yield improvement for non-gauged pools rather than a protocol-wide rate change.

THENA announced that some parts of $THE — its app — now load up to 6x faster, and asked users to try it and report whether they notice the difference. No technical details on which screens or features were optimized were shared in the post.

THENA has launched Perps V2, a rebuilt perpetuals platform that it says now feels "fast enough to feel like a CEX" while staying self-custodial. Matching, position management, and settlement run on dedicated Orbs L3 infrastructure inside a Trusted Execution Environment, so trading no longer waits on an EVM transaction per action.

• 500+ markets at launch, including crypto plus tokenized equities such as OpenAI and SpaceX
• Max leverage up to 150x, set per market, with market and limit orders, SL/TP brackets, and partial closes
• Multi-venue hedging model: Binance is live today, with Hyperliquid planned next
• Self-custody preserved: session keys can trade but cannot withdraw; withdrawals still need a wallet signature
• Users with open V1 positions must close them, withdraw, and migrate to the new platform

More assets and venues are promised in the coming weeks as the hedging network expands beyond Binance.

THENA announced it is welcoming Bail Security (@bailsecurity) as a new partner, emphasizing that security is essential to building the future of DeFi. The post frames the onboarding as the start of the relationship but shares no specific audit, integration, or launch details.

THENA announced it is welcoming @DMDAOxyz, the team behind the DMD AI project, to its ecosystem, framing the arrival as the start of a collaboration. No specific product, integration, or launch details were shared in the announcement.

THENA announced that KyberNetwork's routing now powers its spot trading, enabling smarter paths across THENA's pools for better pricing and more efficient swaps. THENA framed this as step one, teasing an upcoming step two in the integration.
