• Uniswap introduces CCA protocol.

• Aztec announces AZTEC token sale.

• Reya partners with EigenDA.

• Octant launches vaults to public beta.

Uniswap launched the Continuous Clearing Auction (CCA) protocol, a permissionless system for running onchain, customizable token auctions on Uniswap v4 with automatic liquidity bootstrapping. The protocol also offers an optional ZK Passport module for private and verifiable user participation. CCA aims to help teams distribute tokens, establish fair market prices for new or low-liquidity tokens, and automatically seed a Uniswap v4 pool at the discovered price. Tokens are sold block by block through continuous clearing. The CCA contract is now live for teams to use, with additional modules planned for future releases.

Aztec Network, a privacy-preserving Layer 2 that enables private smart contract execution, opened registration for its $AZTEC token sale using Uniswap’s Continuous Clearing Auction (CCA) mechanism. Early access is available to whitelisted contributors, including testnet operators and OG Aztec Connect users. The $AZTEC token is the network’s native asset for staking, governance, and sequencer participation. The auction begins at a floor valuation of $350M FDV, with approximately 14.95% of the total supply available for sale. A public sale will follow on December 2, 2025. Tokens will remain locked for at least 90 days and can only be unlocked through governance, with a 12-month backstop unlock if no proposal passes.

Reya partnered with EigenCloud to use EigenDA, a high-throughput data-availability layer, for its trading-specific rollup on Ethereum. Reya is evolving into a ZK based rollup, targeting 1ms execution and up to 200,000 TPS. As a based rollup, Reya will use Ethereum’s validator set for transaction sequencing. EigenDA will handle Reya’s onchain order data load. The order data will be verified using a zk-proover network, ensuring the entire exchange verifiable on L1. Reya also features a multi-sequencer architecture, eliminating single points of failure. Reya joins the latest wave of app-specific rollups on Ethereum, such as Lighter.

Octant launched Octant v2 to mainnet public beta, introducing its yield-donating vaults into production. With Octant v2, users can deposit assets into vaults where the generated yield is automatically directed to support public goods. The initial release features a Dragon Vault, accessible as a Safe App in the Safe wallet dashboard. Vaults enable passive, sustainable funding while allowing users to retain their principal. Historically, Octant has funded public goods using staking yields from ETH staked by the Golem Foundation. With the v2 release, anyone can contribute to public goods initiatives by leveraging yield from their own vault deposits.

• J.P. Morgan deposit token on Base.

• EigenLayer introduces EigenZero.

• Aerodrome merges with Velodrome.

• Yahoo Finance partners with Polymarket.

J.P. Morgan launched JPMD, its bank-issued USD deposit token, on Base, now live for institutional clients. The launch advances an earlier bank deposit token pilot program from proof-of-concept (PoC) to full production, enabling 24/7 instant institutional transfers and settlements at near-zero cost. JPMD is a permissioned digital representation of actual USD deposits held at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank. Access requires a U.S. bank account with the firm. Future plans include expansion to other chains, multiple currencies, and broader client access, pending regulatory approvals like the U.S. GENIUS Act.

EigenLayer and LayerZero launched EigenZero, the first implementation of the CryptoEconomic Decentralized Verifier Network (DVN) Framework. The release brings slashable economic stake to interoperability, enabling LayerZero applications to choose verifiers for both technical correctness and economic accountability. LayerZero’s DVN marketplace already allows apps to select verification methods like ZK proofs and light clients. EigenZero adds a new category of economically backed DVNs, backed by $5m in slashable ZRO tokens. Using optimistic verification with an 11-day challenge period, EigenZero slashes verifiers for provable misbehavior.

Aerodrome Finance, the leading DEX on Base, announced a merger with Velodrome, its counterpart on OP Mainnet, to launch a unified Ethereum mainnet DEX called Aero. The merge aims to create a cross-chain, aggregated liquidity platform designed to enhance interoperability and expand Aerodrome beyond Base. As part of the announcement, Aerodrome introduced a suite of upgrades, including MetaDEX03, a new operating system built to improve swaps, liquidity, and developer tooling across chains. Under the token migration plan, Aerodrome holders will receive 94.5% of the new AERO supply, while Velodrome holders will receive 5.5%. The merger was unveiled at the Dromos Conference in New York City, with Aero targeting a Q2 2026 mainnet launch.

Gm frENS. It's a slower news day today, probably due to the U.S. holiday.

• Lido DAO proposes a LDO buyback.

• ElizaOS migrates to Ethereum.

• 0xPPL releases 2.0 wallet.

Lido DAO governance introduced a proposal to implement an automated buyback mechanism for LDO, the protocol’s native governance token. The proposal would use LDO and wstETH liquidity in a Uniswap v2-style liquidity pool, managed by the DAO’s Aragon Agent, to both remove LDO from circulation and deepen onchain liquidity. The buyback mechanism would activate only under strong market conditions, when ETH trades above $3,000 and Lido’s annualized revenue exceeds $40 million. If approved, the implementation could begin as early as Q1 2026. The proposal is currently open for community discussion on the Lido governance forum.

ElizaOS, an open-source framework for deploying AI agents, migrated its native $ELIZAOS token to Ethereum. ElizaOS says the migration from Solana to Ethereum represents both a technical and philosophical shift. ElizaOS fully integrates with the EVM and leverages Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to enable agents to operate freely across multiple networks. The $ELIZAOS token powers governance, ecosystem liquidity, and DeFi operations conducted autonomously by AI agents. ElizaOS agents integrate with onchain ecosystems, performing complex tasks such as trading, governance, and multi-platform coordination. ElizaOS is also adopting new EVM standards such as ERC-8004.

0xPPL released the second iteration of its mobile wallet and portfolio tracker. The new release focuses on tracking onchain activity. An integrated AI layer scans onchain data to surface emerging trends. The wallet features a gas and chain abstracted experience, allowing users to transact across 30 networks. 0xPPL aggregates bridges and liquidity pools for fast and cost-efficient transactions.
