Launches 🚀
Twyne has launched on Ethereum mainnet, introducing a credit delegation protocol built atop Euler that solves inefficiencies in lending markets. Borrowers can rent idle borrowing power from lenders to boost liquidation thresholds, reducing the risk of early liquidations, while lenders earn additional APY from otherwise unused capital. At launch, supply caps are set at $30k for lenders and $150k for borrowers.
Updates 📰
Solv Protocol has partnered with Chainlink to launch a Secure Exchange Rate feed for SolvBTC on Ethereum. Powered by Chainlink Proof of Reserve, the feed provides tamper-resistant redemption rates backed by verified BTC reserves, strengthening SolvBTC’s use as collateral in lending markets like Aave.
Solv also plans to integrate Chainlink’s Secure Mint feature to ensure all SolvBTC remains 1:1 backed.
Across has launched crosschain swaps via its new Swap API, merging bridge and swap into a single transaction. The upgrade introduces one-call execution, chain-agnostic composability, and abstracted logic for developers, with integrations from Uniswap Labs, 0xProject, and LiFi to provide unified DEX aggregation across chains.
Kamino has rolled out a Loan Dashboard upgrade, giving borrowers a full interest breakdown—debt paid, collateral yield earned, and net interest. Thanks to collateral rehypothecation, users can earn yield on collateral while borrowing, with some traders like BnwZ netting $78K since April while staying long SOL.
The Loan Analytics tab provides real-time insights, bringing TradFi-level analytics to Solana.

Issues ⚠️
A Venus Protocol user lost ~$27M to a phishing scam after unknowingly granting token approvals to an attacker. Venus immediately proposed an Emergency Vote to force-liquidate the exploiter’s position and recover the funds. The community passed the vote, and Venus successfully executed the liquidation, restoring user funds. As of 9:58 PM UTC, withdrawals and liquidations on Venus have resumed with operations fully restored.
