Decentralized finance — DEXs, lending, yield strategies, on-chain derivatives, and tokenized real-world assets.
Six chains each hold under 7% of DeFi TVL, but their combined share is what has drained Ethereum from 63.5% to roughly 54% — a fragmentation driven by function, not by Ethereum losing users outright.
EthCC-week gathering drew Web3 builders, founders, and protocol leads to debate where DeFi, real-world assets, and infrastructure capital land next.
Whale Alert quietly expanded its stablecoin coverage on the ERC-20 rail and added Tempo — a payments-focused L1 — to its supported chains.
MegaETH's headline number tripled since the token generation event — yet almost all of it is borrowed Aave liquidity rather than native protocol deposits, a structural fragility most readers will…
A near-unanimous DAO vote to free exploit-frozen ether now collides with a Manhattan court fight — the eight-day Constitutional AIP delay may be the only window that decides who gets the funds.
The DAO vote was near-unanimous, but a May 1 federal order tied to North Korea-related judgments freezes the path to DeFi United, leaving Aave's $190M bad debt in legal limbo.
The barrier is not yield — it's risk perception. Repeated exploits and DeFi's permissionless design keep KYC-bound capital on centralized venues, and product gaps in bot tooling widen the gap.
The bullish case at Consensus Miami hinged on $100B in lending markets and $15B AUM at Bitwise already using DeFi rails — but the unresolved security overhang from a fresh $600M in North Korean…
The same attacker hit 1inch Fusion V1 in March and is back via a different vulnerability in TrustedVolumes' resolver — part of a $635M April hack month now bleeding straight into May.
A $292M LayerZero exploit in April forced the Kelp DAO bridge off LayerZero; Solv Protocol's voluntary $700M migration pushes the combined flight past $2B in protocol value, framing CCIP as the…
The lending giant is folding cybersecurity, interoperability, and architecture into its listing criteria — and publishing a minimum-standards playbook the rest of DeFi will be measured against.
The DeFi and meme-coin index surge is happening while majors consolidate, with positioning data showing TON in a league of its own — OI at a record, +93% on the week.
A single transfer of approximately 348 million USDC ($347,942,928) has been flagged moving out of Coinbase…
A routine quarterly rebalance, but the ENA inclusion signals where Grayscale's product team is leaning as the real-yield sector matures.
For a decade, DeFi audited code. Mythos maps how small weaknesses in keys, bridges and oracles chain into systemic failures — and both attackers and defenders are already moving.
Raw dollar losses look similar — roughly $2.6B in TradFi and $2.8B in DeFi in 2025 — but volume-adjusted, DeFi loses at an 86x higher rate, and the marketing damage may outlast the math.
A joint proposal from Aave, Kelp, and LayerZero is asking the Arbitrum DAO to release $71 million in frozen ETH as part…
Aave has proposed contributing 25,000 ETH to DeFi United, a collective effort to plug the hole left by the Kelp DAO…
