Odaily News: Aerodrome's Slipstream V3 has gone live, introducing protocol-level internal MEV auctions to its concentrated liquidity AMM. The upgrade redistributes value captured by sandwich bots and arbitrageurs to active liquidity providers and sAERO holders, with the protocol expected to generate tens of millions of dollars in related revenue. This version also introduces dynamic fees that automatically increase when market volatility intensifies, and retains Uniswap V3's concentrated liquidity design, achieving capital efficiency up to 4,000 times that of traditional AMMs. Aero plans to merge Aerodrome on Base and Velodrome on Optimism into a single AERO token, and to launch on Ethereum mainnet in Q2 2026. Aero Lite has already launched Slipstream pools on Circle's Arc, and Dromos Labs is developing pool-level fee rebates and KYC options for institutional clients.
Circle co-founder and CEO Jeremy Allaire, in a post on X citing Arc Chain's official tweet, stated that one week after Arc Chain's launch, on-chain assets (USDC and cirCTC) have surged from zero to $700 million, while USDC transaction volume has surpassed $7 billion.
Aave founder Stani posted on X to clarify views regarding Aave V4, stating that the Hub and Spoke in V4 are isolated by default based on risk profiles, but markets with similar risk can share liquidity through the Hub and increase capital utilization and capital efficiency within set limits. Stani said that completely isolating liquidity could lead to capital fragmentation, reduced utilization, and higher user costs.Stani also stated that V4 has attracted approximately $1.2 billion in deposits and is deployed across multiple networks including Ethereum, Avalanche, and Arc, while also supporting third-party curators such as EtherFi. The V4 codebase is significantly smaller than Aave V3, and Spoke can directly use the Hub's liquidity without needing to build up liquidity from scratch like traditional curated vaults.

Odaily reports: Crypto researcher Ignas posted on X platform, stating that he currently has "no FOMO" about trading on Arc, believing that Arc focuses more on forex, payments, and tokenization scenarios, and that the team's support for Crypto Native culture is relatively limited.Ignas stated that one of Arc's potential attractions may come from an ARC token airdrop. He noted that Arc has plans for 60% of its tokens to be allocated to the "ecosystem," but expects that the relevant tokens will be used more to incentivize ecosystem partners in payments, forex, and tokenization rather than Degen traders. Additionally, he believes that from Robinhood and Solana to Arc, the "Meme coin + stocks" playbook is being repeated, and unless Arc introduces a new narrative, he will look at other trading opportunities.
