Safe Multichain Address Deployments 

Safe introduced a new feature that allows users to reserve a smart wallet account with the same address across 15 supported networks. Now live on the Safe user interface, the feature allows users to reserve their address in a single click. Once reserved, the address can receive funds and the smart contract can be deployed at any time. Safe also offers sponsored transactions on networks like Gnosis, Polygon PoS, Polygon zkEVM, Base, OP Mainnet, Arbitrum, Linea, and Blast, enabling wallet deployments without requiring native gas tokens. The release includes a new sidebar interface that simplifies switching between multiple accounts. The feature is compatible only with Safe version 1.3.0 or later.

Community Staking Module On Mainnet

Lido’s Community Staking Module (CSM), a permissionless staking solution that allows node operators to run validators through the Lido protocol, is now live on mainnet. The module lowers the barrier for solo stakers by allowing participation with a collateral stake of 2.4 ETH for the first validator and 1.3 ETH for additional validators. The launch is an early adoption phase initially available to qualified solo stakers. Lido states that operators using CSM can earn up to 2.37x higher rewards compared to traditional solo staking. As a key component of the Lido Staking Router, a controller contract designed to integrate modular validator pools, the CSM enables node participation from solo stakers, DAOs, and DVT clusters.

Velodrome Expands MetaDEX To Superseed

Velodrome announced plans to launch support for Superseed on the Velodrome Superchain, a MetaDEX serving as the primary liquidity hub on the Superhain. Superseed is a DeFi-focused protocol built on the OP Stack that features a native collateralized debt position system called SuperCDP. SuperCDP allows users to lock assets as collateral to mint and borrow the Superseed stablecoin, enabling access to interest-free, self-repaying loans. veVELO holders will be able vote and direct emissions towards liquidity gauges on Superseed's L2. Superseed will also provide incentives for the launch. The Velodrome Superchain already includes nine OP Stack chains.
