The fundamental logic of stETH is to deposit ETH into Lido. Lido utilizes these ETH to participate in Ethereum's PoS (Proof of Stake) to earn rewards, and users receive corresponding stETH as proof of their participation. Subsequently, Lido distributes the rewards to the addresses holding stETH.

This article introduces the AO project, a decentralized computing system based on the Arweave platform, designed to support high-concurrency computing tasks, particularly suited for big data and AI applications. AO employs a clever DeFi economic model that allows users to mine with cross-chain assets such as stETH or DAI to earn high returns, while integrating a fair token distribution mechanism.

UniLend was exploited due to a vulnerability, leading to the theft of approximately $200K (4% of TVL). The attacker used a flash loan to deposit 60 million USDC, manipulated collateral calculations, and exploited a contract bug in the health check process to inflate collateral value, withdrawing 60 stETH. The flaw stemmed from the faulty implementation of the userBalanceOfToken function. UniLend has since fixed the issue, paused V2 deposits, and offered a bounty to recover the funds. This incident underscores the critical importance of security for DeFi platforms and the need for thorough smart contract audits.

This article explains in detail the Lybra Finance project, an LSDfi stable currency protocol. Its main business model is to mortgage ETH or stETH to mint the stable currency eUSD, and use the proceeds of LSD to repurchase eUSD to earn interest on the stable currency. The annualized rate is between 7% and 9%. The interest on the stable currency comes from the interest on the ETH pledge. , so the higher the mortgage rate, the higher the interest. eUSD is maintained stable by over-collateralization, liquidation, and arbitrage. The LSDfi track has relatively good fundamentals, narrative value and user demand. Lybra Finance is currently the LSDfi protocol with the highest TVL. The first interest-bearing stable currency eUSD has a certain attraction for funds in the market. Therefore, this product deserves attention.

This article evaluates the historical performance of Chainlink integration and the replacement of Curve Pool EMA Oracle. It was found that the lack of reliable Chainlink data sources for collateral assets has impacted integration with the Prisma platform. The study proposes preliminary specifications for improving the Oracle to enhance price accuracy and reliability. Additionally, the research discusses the importance of the Oracle in Prisma liquidation and redemption processes. It is advised to use Curve's price oracle function with caution. Finally, a hybrid solution combining Curve and Chainlink Oracle is proposed to enhance the flexibility and reliability of the pricing mechanism. This report is applicable only to the Prisma protocol.

The CIAN protocol enables LSD (Liquid Staking Derivative) holders to earn not only staking rewards but also additional DeFi yields. CIAN is transforming DeFi yield generation, and as an automated DeFi yield optimization platform, its total value locked (TVL) has surpassed $1.4 billion—far exceeding the TVL of many major blockchains. With immense growth potential, CIAN is reshaping the DeFi landscape.
