This week, we’re featuring the Yearn ETH Market Making pool, which generates yield from fees paid by traders swapping between ETH+ and ETH. ETH+ is a community-governed index token that is fully backed by Lido's wstETH and Rocket Pool's rETH. What makes this pool stand out is the sole exposure to ETH and auto-compounding of CRV rewards, boosting your overall returns.

Uniswap releases new DEX aggregator. UniswapX, a new decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregation protocol from Uniswap enables third parties, known as "fillers," to compete in providing the best trade execution prices for users. With unique features like protection against maximal extractable value (MEV), cross-blockchain trade facilitation, and gas-free swaps, UniswapX aims to address the growing fragmentation of liquidity across DeFi. The new platform's design shares similarities with existing projects like CoWSwap, but with the distinctive approach of processing trades individually rather than in batches.
Polygon ecosystem converging under new POL token. Polygon is revamping its MATIC token and introduced the new POL token as part of their 'Polygon 2.0' overhaul. The POL token will not only secure Polygon's Proof-of-Stake (PoS) chain and accrue staking fees but also earn rewards from multiple chains, positioning it as a "hyperproductive" token. In contrast to MATIC, holders of POL can validate multiple chains and perform multiple roles that generate fees. The larger 'Polygon 2.0' strategy involves evolving from isolated blockchains like Polygon’s proof-of-stake chain into an interconnected ecosystem of blockchains, with POL set to earn fees from all future chains. A 1-to-1 swap of MATIC for POL will be available for users over a four-year window.
zkSync upgrades system to improve decentralization. zkSync Era, the third-largest Layer 2 network, has introduced an upgraded STARK-based proving system named "Boojum." This upgrade significantly reduces the computational requirements of provers by 80%, thereby reducing transaction fees and fostering a more decentralized ecosystem. Compared to the previous SNARK-based system, Boojum can run on more modest hardware, thus broadening access and reducing cost. This enhancement has aided zkSync Era in maintaining a leading position among Layer 2 networks.
