1/ A brand new product has been #BuiltOnBalancer combining concentrated liquidity with @aave lending to try and create the most capital-efficient AMM in DeFi.

It’s been nearly two months since Aura’s first franchise, @HyperlockFi, went live on @Blast_L2.

How have things been going so far?

Aura has a special place in our hearts for the @Rocket_Pool community.

Not only has Rocket Pool been Aura's most consistent and largest partner, with three of Aura's top five pools by TVL containing rETH, but more importantly, we love what they represent as a protocol and a…

@AuraFinance

A new gauge recently passed for sDAI-aUSDC on Optimism.

For most, this pool probably wouldn’t be given a second thought but it’s actually incredibly interesting. It perfectly highlights how @Balancer can act as a base layer AMM for innovations to be built on top of.

Why is it…

Up and to the right.

Liquid Staked Tokens (LSTs) monthly volumes on Balancer have been increasing, reaching nearly $4 billion in April.

Aura

@AuraFinance

Aura’s first franchise @HyperlockFi continues to be a major player in the @Blast_L2 ecosystem.

It ranks third on the chain with $267m of TVL — an ATH when measured in ETH.

Similar to how Aura is built on top of Balancer, Hyperlock is built on top of Blast’s top DEX @ThrusterFi,…

@Balancer

One of the biggest challenges in launching a new AMM is the cold start problem.
New AMMs need liquidity to attract volume and integration with aggregators, but they need volume and aggregator support to attract liquidity. This creates a challenging cycle that can hinder the…
