Lens Chain mainnet goes live using an inexpensive Ethereum overlay blockchain designed for building decentralized social media applications.

Chainlink (LINK) was also among the underperformers, falling 4.7% from Tuesday.

The $159 level is a key support to watch for Aave (AAVE), while a break below could send prices toward $128.

AAVE is likely to establish a new high as more liquidity pours in.

TL;DR Aave integrates Chainlink Smart Value Recapture (SVR) on Ethereum to recapture the MEV associated with loan liquidations in DeFi protocols. The SVR solution allows DeFi protocols to recover value lost in block building, improving the DeFi economy in a sustainable and transparent way.

The Aave community has voted to allow the adoption of Chainlink's Smart Value Recapture feature as the protocol looks to reclaim millions in maximum extractable value lost to oracles.

Decentralized finance protocol Aave has integrated Chainlink Smart Value Recapture (SVR) on the Ethereum mainnet, with this coming on the back of a community vote. The integration is an initiative of Chainlink and Aave (AAVE) ecosystem contributors BGD Labs, and Aave Chan Initiative, according to an announcement.

The Aave DAO community has formalized the integration of Chainlink Smart Value Recapture (SVR) on the Ethereum mainnet, with the goal of recovering the value extractable from oracles (Oracle Extractable Value, OEV) related to liquidations and converting it into a new source of revenue for the protocol. The decision, confirmed by an on-chain vote, marks a turning point for decentralized finance (DeFi), ushering in a sustainable model that reintegrates into the system the value technically lost during liquidation operations.

The crypto market dipped into the red over the past 24 hours as cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), registered notable declines. As a result, the crypto market cap dropped to $2.86 trillion.

The STRF sale is scheduled to close later on Tuesday, with Strategy raising approximately $711 million in net proceeds.

The Aave DAO has reached a consensus. According to Aave Labs' CEO, the DAO is not currently looking to invest in tokens other than AAVE.

After a big surge in price last week, AAVE coin has seen a bit of a drop, but it's still the leading lending protocol in the crypto industry.

Aave Labs launched the Horizon initiative on Thursday targeting institutional investors with products centered on tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) to bridge decentralized finance (DeFi) and traditional financial systems.

Leading DeFi protocol Aave has announced plans to launch Horizon, a new initiative focused on building institutional DeFi products. The protocol founder, Stani Kulechov, announced this on X, noting that this initiative will take decentralized finance to the next level.

Aave Labs has launched a new initiative called Horizon, which aims to enhance the integration of institutional Real-World Assets (RWAs) into DeFi. Announced on March 13, the project seeks to bridge DeFi's open financial ecosystem with the structured needs of institutional asset issuers, creating a framework that encourages broader participation in on-chain finance.

TL;DR Starknet users can now pay at merchants accepting Bitcoin Lightning payments using only STRK, thanks to Braavos wallet and the Atomiq bridge. No need to set up a Lightning wallet or pre-fund with BTC, making Bitcoin payments simpler and increasing adoption.

TL;DR Bridging TradFi and DeFi: Aave Labs launches Horizon to integrate tokenized real-world assets into the DeFi ecosystem, linking traditional finance with decentralized solutions. Unlocking Stablecoin Liquidity: Horizon enables institutions to use tokenized money market funds as collateral to borrow stablecoins like USDC and GHO, reducing costs and enhancing 24/7 liquidity.

The primary goal of Horizon is to bridge the gap between traditional finance and DeFi using the Aave ecosystem as a foundation.

Horizon, an initiative by Aave Labs, proposed a new financial product to bring real-world assets (RWAs) into decentralized finance (DeFi) under a regulatory framework.

This means users can borrow EURC or use it as collateral, opening up new possibilities for DeFi enthusiasts. If you've been looking for more ways to put your crypto to work, this could be a game-changer.

Analyt project massive BTC dominance if its DeFi sector is fully tapped.

Starknet plans to expand Bitcoin use cases by bridging Bitcoin and Ethereum. StarkWare recently established a Bitcoin strategic reserve.

Starknet, an Ethereum ETH-based Layer-2 network, is working toward a system where Bitcoin BTC and Ethereum operate more seamlessly together.

Starknet has unveiled a bold plan to bridge Bitcoin and Ethereum. Here's How.

Starknet has announced its ambitious plan to become the first Layer 2 solution to unify Bitcoin and Ethereum, aiming to enhance bitcoin's functionality and scalability while preserving its core principles of decentralization and trustlessness.

Starknet plans to use Bitcoin as a settlement layer alongside Ethereum, aiming to connect the two largest blockchains on a single layer 2 network. The Starknet Foundation's Bitcoin roadmap, published on Mar.

Ethereum layer 2 Starknet is laying the groundwork to settle on Bitcoin and Ethereum to unify the two largest blockchains on a single layer.The Starknet Foundation said in its March 11 Bitcoin roadmap that it's aiming for Starknet to become Bitcoin's execution layer, scaling it from 13 transactions per second to thousands, reducing blocks and gas fees, and creating a better user experience. “Most Bitcoin today sits static in wallets and exchanges, constrained by the limitations of the network's original design: a lack of scalability and an inability to natively support applications beyond simple buying, selling, and transferring,” the foundation said.

Starknet's integration of Bitcoin and Ethereum could revolutionize DeFi by enhancing scalability, reducing costs, and boosting asset utility. The post Starknet plans to unify Bitcoin and Ethereum on a single layer 2 network appeared first on Crypto Briefing.
