Puffer Finance is a native liquidity re-staking platform built on Eigenlayer. It accumulates PoS and re-staking rewards by introducing native liquidity re-staking tokens (nLRT). Puffer's core mission is to maintain the decentralization of Ethereum, while increasing capital efficiency and reducing risk. It utilizes security aggregator technology and Secure-Signer remote signing tools to enhance security and minimize potential violation risks. Puffer's liquidity staking protocol is designed to be decentralized, and does not rely on DAO voting to add new validators, promoting a more diverse validator set. Furthermore, Puffer is developing ZK-2FA technology to strengthen the security of ZK-rollups.

Modular blockchain is not just a technological shift but also a crucial strategy to drive the entire blockchain ecosystem toward future challenges. We will dissect the concept of modular blockchain, analyze related projects, and provide a comprehensive, practical interpretation of modular blockchain knowledge to help readers better understand. At the same time, we will also look ahead to future development trends. If the ecosystem can be more harmonious and interconnected, users will be able to use blockchain technology more easily, which will also attract more new users to Web3.

Aave V4’s preview outlines its upcoming updates, including unifying the liquidity layer to reduce liquidity dispersion, introducing a fully automatic interest rate adjustment mechanism, a liquidity premium mechanism to dynamically adjust borrowing rates, and launching smart account and treasury functions to improve user experience. , dynamic risk parameter configuration, excess debt protection mechanism, native integration with GHO stablecoin, and the planning of Aave Network.

This article explains the concept of the Hooks programming model, which allows developers to insert custom code into the execution path of the system, application or library through predefined functions or code blocks, improving the scalability and customizability of the program. Uniswap V4 introduces Hooks, through which functions such as dynamic fees, on-chain price limit orders, and time-weighted average market makers can be implemented, enhancing the functions of DApp and the network effect of Uniswap.

The Three-Market Theory is a cognitive model of the Ponzi proposed by CryptoSkanda (@thecryptoskanda). This article explores the reasons for three bull markets based on this theory: MEME coins represent the mutual aid market, DeFi represents the dividend market, and ICO represents the split market.

BounceBit is a re-staking project built on the Bitcoin ecosystem. Its goal is to enable BTC to generate organic staking rewards by creating a new ecosystem - BounceBit Chain.

The DeFi lending industry has been sluggish, mainly due to complex multi-asset lending pools and governance-driven project decisions. This article explores the potential of a new type of lending product - modular lending, revealing its features, design and impact.

Aside from MakerDAO, Centrifuge has partnered with other leading DeFi platforms like Aave to co-create dedicated financing pools for RWAs, bringing more platform traffic and user benefits to the Centrifuge ecosystem. Additionally, Centrifuge serves as an on-chain credit ecosystem aimed at tokenizing assets of small and medium-sized enterprise owners and collateralizing them on-chain to obtain liquidity.

MakerDAO has performed exceptionally well in the past year, demonstrating its robust business model and adeptness at handling the volatility of the crypto market. Its business acumen, surpassing other blue-chip tokens, and its annual revenue of approximately 230 million USD underscore its financial efficiency in the DeFi sector. However, the realization of MakerDAO's Endgame will face challenges. The key to success lies in balancing innovation and strict risk management, especially when MKR takes on the role of collateral. Looking ahead, whether MakerDAO can effectively implement its Endgame plan and demonstrate actual benefits will be critical. This will further solidify its leadership position in the DeFi sector, presenting a stronger, user-centered platform to handle the dynamic changes in the crypto world.
