Morpho unveiled Morpho Midnight, a new fixed-term fixed-rate lending protocol that complements rather than replaces Morpho Blue, with more details coming as audits finalize.
World Liberty Fi proposed replacing its original indefinite token lockup, which had no guaranteed unlock date, with locking 62B WLFI tokens for a minimum of 2 years across two groups. Insiders, including advisors, institutions, partners, founders, and team members, face a 2-year cliff with a 3-year linear vest, with a mandatory 10% burn of up to 4.5B tokens upon opt-in. Early supporters get a lighter deal with a 2-year cliff and 2-year vest with no burn and full allocation retained.
Bitwise launched $BAVA, an Avalanche ETF with in-house staking offering ~5.4% staking rewards.
Polygon launched sPOL, its native liquid staking token, designed to give stakers a share of priority transaction fees.
Venus Protocol sunset its isolated lending pools, with all pools now paused. User funds remain safe and withdrawals are still open, with users advised to migrate or withdraw their positions.
