Aave V3, the latest version of the popular DeFi lending protocol, has officially launched on mainnet across 6 networks. The upgrade builds upon existing Aave features while introducing new capabilities focused on increased capital efficiency and enhanced decentralization.
Grvt has integrated with Aave to allow derivatives traders to earn yield on their perpetual futures collateral. This integration represents the growing convergence between lending protocols and trading infrastructure in DeFi, where derivatives are contributing significantly to the sector's $1 billion+ quarterly revenue.
Lighter Protocol has introduced unified collateral functionality that allows users to use the same collateral for both spot and futures trading. Following this and other product updates over the week, the LIT token surged 13%.
