Explore the innovation and risks of Ethena's algorithmic stablecoin, which offers high-yield internet bonds based on Ethereum's Delta-neutral strategy. Analyze potential crises it faces, including collateral decoupling and funding rate risks.

B² Network, a layer-2 solution on the Bitcoin Blockchain addresses the scalability of the Bitcoin network by introducing a two-layer infrastructure that allows for faster transactions and lower costs without compromising on security.

Interest rate swaps are the main derivatives market for institutions. Interest rate derivatives account for 80% of the market share of the derivatives track, with extremely large transaction volume. However, this track on the chain has just been introduced by Pendle.This article will guide readers through a detailed explanation of the applications of Pendle and the key data points.

The article delves into the Restaking ecosystem and its innovative applications in the cryptocurrency domain, particularly focusing on the EigenLayer project. Restaking allows users to re-stake their already staked ETH or Liquidity Staking Tokens (LST) for additional earnings, supporting emerging projects and protocols. As an infrastructure protocol, EigenLayer enables the security of Ethereum to be inherited and utilized by other networks, driving innovation and enhancing capital efficiency. The article also discusses the main advantages and potential risks of Restaking, as well as its possible impact on the future Web3 ecosystem, including innovations in MEV management, decentralized AI, and zero-knowledge proof verification.

The article provides an in-depth analysis of the innovations of the Aqua platform, a project aimed at improving the efficiency of DeFi liquidity supply and capital efficiency. Aqua solves the high slippage and impermanent loss problems of automated market makers (AMMs) by introducing private market makers (PMM) and requests for quotes (RFQ) models. Aqua’s “programmable liquidity layer” allows market makers to use leverage to lend LP funds for market making, improving the efficiency of capital use and liquidity supply. In addition, Aqua's cross-chain transaction aggregation function enables it to integrate multi-chain assets and liquidity to provide traders with a better quotation and liquidity environment. The article emphasizes that these characteristics of Aqua make it a leader in DeFi supply-side reform, creating a win-win situation for liquidity providers and traders.

Mode Network is a DeFi Layer 2 solution built on the OP Stack, focusing on enhancing scalability, reducing costs, and incentivizing developers, thereby transforming the decentralized finance sector. Its core measures include "Sequencer Fee Sharing" and the "Mode Flare L3 Platform", providing unique advantages and incentives for developers while promoting the development of the ecosystem.
