USX launched its ZK-powered “neodollar,” offering a gasless and private stable asset on Scroll with 10–15% APY when staked. Powered by LayerZero from day one, USX can move across multiple chains and integrate widely in DeFi, with a transparency dashboard coming this week showing APY and fund allocations.

Updates đź“°
Monad announced that its public token sale for MON will take place on Coinbase’s token sales platform from November 17–22, offering up to 7.5B MON (7.5% of the 100B initial supply) at a fixed price of $0.025. The sale supports broad, retail-friendly distribution through a minimum bid of $100 and a maximum of $100,000, with unsold tokens redirected to ecosystem development and oversubscribed allocations filled “from the bottom” to prevent concentration. MON will be distributed at mainnet launch on November 24.
Neutrl detailed its conservative valuation method for OTC positions, marking locked tokens at a time-weighted liquidation price rather than spot and applying illiquidity discounts and hard caps on each vesting tranche. These marks, combined with delta-neutral hedges, are independently verified through ZK proofs by Accountable.
Based launched its Polymarket integration, enabling users to place predictions directly inside Based Terminals across hundreds of markets. Prediction rewards will follow a similar Gold-earning rate as trading, with up to 2M extra Gold per epoch at launch and adjustments made based on usage to keep emissions balanced.
The feature is in beta and may be restricted in some regions.
USD.AI announced that Coinbase Ventures has invested in Permian Labs, the team behind the USD.AI on-chain credit protocol. The system issues USDai, a Treasury-backed stablecoin, and sUSDai, its yield-bearing version that earns from both Treasuries and GPU-collateralized credit.
WOOFi is reallocating 50% of weekly staking rewards to buy and burn WOO, targeting ~500K WOO burned per week with burns scaling alongside ecosystem growth. Monthly burns continue, and all buybacks will run transparently via onchain TWAP.
InfiniFi launched a 100K-point redistribution campaign for former Stream Finance depositors, returning the points Stream previously earned and inviting users to migrate. Claims are open until Dec 1, with points reflected a few hours after claiming.
Brevis introduced the Brevis ProverNet whitepaper, outlining a decentralized marketplace for ZK proof generation after producing 250M+ proofs across major protocols. ProverNet matches diverse ZK workloads through a specialized prover marketplace powered by the TODA auction mechanism on a dedicated rollup, while the new BREV token will be used for payments, prover staking, and governance.
Ethereum researchers proposed the Ethereum Interop Layer (EIL), a system that makes all L2s feel like one unified Ethereum by letting wallets handle cross-chain transfers, swaps, and mints automatically with a single signature. Built on ERC-4337, it removes bridges and relayers from the trust path, keeps all logic on-chain, and preserves self-custody and censorship-resistance.
Theo announced a partnership with Stable and Concrete to bring tokenized assets to Stable, starting with a $75M pre-deposit allocation into thBILL. The move follows $1.325B committed across Stable’s two-phase pre-deposit campaign, with Concrete set to deploy part of that capital into thBILL ahead of Stable’s mainnet.
PVP announced its acquisition of Hyperdash, Hyperliquid’s leading analytics platform, unveiling Hyperdash V2 as an integrated suite for advanced perp trading. The upgraded version offers deep market, trade, and positioning analytics with institutional-grade execution, aiming to give active traders a sharper edge.
Paxos introduced USDG0, a new omnichain extension of the USDG stablecoin that brings regulated, 1:1 dollar-backed liquidity to Hyperliquid, Plume, and Aptos using LayerZero’s OFT standard.

Revolut has integrated Polygon, enabling 14M+ users across 38 countries to send and receive USDC, USDT, and POL with zero fees, trade and stake POL, pay via Revolut’s crypto card, and off-ramp to fiat — all directly inside the app.
Anoma announced that the Anoma Request Machine (ARM) is now live on Ethereum, bringing its next-gen VM that supports native intents and advanced privacy features directly onto the network. The ARM lets dapps execute intent-based flows with built-in confidentiality.
MegaETH introduced Frontier, the Mainnet Beta release of its real-time blockchain, set to run for one month starting early December. After 16 months of development, MegaETH is positioned as a performance-first chain that inherits Ethereum security with forced inclusion from day one, opening new design space for high-speed applications.
Avalanche activated the Granite upgrade, introducing three major improvements: faster blocktimes through ACP-226, enabling validators to lower block times dynamically for snappier UX and subsecond confirmations; biometric-style approvals via ACP-204, letting dapps use secp256r1 for FaceID/TouchID-level authentication; and cheaper, more reliable cross-chain messaging under ACP-181 by stabilizing validator sets in short epochs.
Starknet announced expanded institutional support as Anchorage Digital now offers BTC staking on Starknet, letting clients securely stake Bitcoin and earn rewards alongside STRK while helping decentralize the network.
USDai opened deposits following its $250M cap increase, allowing users to deposit USDC on Ethereum and mint USDai or sUSDai immediately as part of its ongoing expansion.
Ekubo named Sushi as the first licensee of its upcoming V3 AMM, giving Sushi access to Ekubo’s next-generation, multi-chain concentrated liquidity architecture. Sushi’s team said the partnership aligns with its broader AMM vision, marking a major collaboration between two leading DEX builders.

The integration lets Plume’s 280K+ investors supply liquidity, loop positions, and earn yield, with Solv Protocol allocating up to $10M into Nest.
Maple stated the dispute with Core Foundation is limited to their BTC Yield pilot and has no impact on Maple’s broader operations. The team rejected Core Foundation’s claims, stating the actions taken were against lender interests, and confirmed Maple will pursue all available remedies to hold Core Foundation accountable.
Nado launched its private alpha on Ink, introducing a CLOB DEX built by former Kraken engineers with unified margin across spot and perps for lower capital requirements. The platform offers NLP vaults where users can deposit USDT0 to earn market-making and liquidation yield while using the position as collateral for trading.
Makina introduced the MAK token, outlining a 1B-supply ERC-20 with ve-tokenomics for governance, where holders lock MAK to mint veMAK and vote on Machine deployments, fee splits, and safety actions.
Machines generate revenue through management and performance fees shared with the DAO, with pre-TGE revenue earmarked for buybacks and liquidity.
Cap added support for WisdomTree’s WTGXX money market fund, allowing holders to mint cUSD and stcUSD and expanding the network beyond traditional payment stables like USDC. The move brings regulated, permissioned assets into Cap’s on-chain stablecoin framework, signaling a growing institutional footprint.
RedStone introduced a Dynamic PT Oracle built with Objective to price Pendle principal tokens more accurately by combining on-chain data with Pendle’s native valuation model.
Issues ⚠️
GAIB addressed its troubled token launch, explaining that the airdrop checker malfunctioned with timing mismatches and eligibility errors, though no tokens were burned and distributions worked once the site was restored. The team clarified that the five wallets that sold ~1M tokens each belonged to external marketing partners who broke agreed lockups—not team members—prompting GAIB to initiate a buyback to absorb the unexpected sell pressure.
Broader illiquid market conditions added stress, while recent FUD around transparency will be answered with a full proof-of-funds and redemption page on Nov 21.
The team says it is working around the clock to fix issues and stabilize the launch.
StablesLabs potentially mishandled users’ funds by bridging the funds and opening a 30x long on Hyperliquid. The on-chain transactions shared show funds being moved rather than restored, with the wallet tied to a large leveraged position. The post claims the team used user deposits for high-risk trading and left all activity visible on-chain.
Yala’s YU stablecoin briefly collapsed to ~$0.10 amid growing concerns over liquidity, governance, and unresolved risks tied to its earlier $7.6M bridge exploit. Despite Yala claiming most funds were recovered, red flags include a linked address borrowing nearly all available USDC and YU in Euler Frontier markets without repayment, pushing utilization to 100% and leaving lenders unable to exit.
While YU still trades near peg on Solana with deeper USDC backing there, conditions on Ethereum remain fragile
CBB warned that GAIB may lack clarity around reserves, claiming the transparency page was removed and that no third-party attestations exist for most of the reported backing. GAIB CEO Kony responded, stating withdrawals have remained open and met on schedule across campaigns, that the transparency dashboard is being redesigned rather than hidden, and that full attestations plus AID→USDC redemption will go live on November 21.
DappRadar announced it will shut down after seven years, citing financial unsustainability in the current environment. The team said it will begin winding down services, including blockchain and dapp tracking, and will provide separate updates on the DAO and RADAR token as decisions are finalized.
WLFI said it will begin reallocating funds to new wallets for users affected by pre-launch phishing and seed-phrase compromises, following KYC verification and new contract logic designed for secure bulk transfers. The team emphasized that the incident stemmed from third-party wallet breaches rather than WLFI contracts, with impacted wallets frozen since September. Users who completed verification will receive funds shortly, while unverified wallets remain frozen until owners initiate the process.
