Aave, the largest DeFi protocol, introduced the Aave App, a high-yield mobile savings app offering up to 6% APY, with additional promotional yield boosts that can raise earnings up to 9% APY. The app also provides balance protection on up to $1 million per account. Users can deposit from banks, debit cards, or stablecoins. With Aave, users earn yield in real-time with second-by-second compounding interest, and they can withdraw their funds at any time without penalties or delays. The app also includes features like Auto Saver for automated recurring deposits, savings simulations, and progress tracking. The Aave App is now available on iOS, with a waitlist open for deposit access.

The Decentralized Infrastructure Network (DIN), led by Infura, launched its Autonomous Verifiable Service (AVS) on EigenLayer, making it the first large-scale decentralized RPC and API marketplace secured by Ethereum restaking. The launch enables permissionless onboarding for node operators, watchers, and restakers, creating an alternative to today’s centralized RPCs. DIN leverages staked ETH and eventually EIGEN token restaking to back node operators with real economic guarantees, introducing slashing and performance verification to ensure reliable, decentralized access to RPCs across 30+ networks. DIN was first unveiled two years ago on November 17, 2023.

The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) announced that it is migrating its Namechain L2 network from the Linea ZK stack to Nethermind’s Surge framework, a based rollup architecture built on the Taiko stack. Surge allows ENS to launch Namechain as a Stage 1 rollup from day one, leveraging Ethereum L1 directly for sequencing. ENS and Nethermind also designed a major improvement to CCIP-Read, the mechanism that lets ENS pull offchain or L2 data into L1 contracts, by combining based preconfirmations with trusted execution environments. The design reduces cross-chain data latency from hours to seconds while maintaining fallback security to be settled with ZK proofs. Namechain is part of ENSv2, a major upgrade introducing a new registry and smart contracts.

UNIfication, a proposal from Uniswap to enable a fee switch and UNI token burn, is now live for a temperature check vote on Snapshot. Voting ends in 5 days on November 22, 2025 at 6:01 PM. If approved, the proposal will move forward to an onchain governance vote. Among other updates, the proposal seeks to transition Foundation employees to Labs and to eliminate the Uniswap front-end fee.

Nillion, an alt-L1 blockchain focused on blind compute and private data storage, announced that it will deploy a dedicated L2 on Ethereum as part of its Nillion 2.0 upgrade. The new Ethereum L2 will enable staking, onchain coordination, and seamless access to Nillion’s compute and storage layer. As part of the transition, Nillion will migrate its $NIL token to Ethereum as an ERC-20 and launch a public bridge starting in February 2026. The team cites Ethereum’s growing commitment to privacy, through MPC, FHE, ZKPs, and TEEs, as a major reason for aligning more closely with the Ethereum ecosystem.

Privacy Pools proposed an architecture for integrating its privacy protocol into the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI), the EU’s permissioned and identity-driven blockchain network. The solution aims to create a privacy-preserving yet EU-compliant framework for institutional digital asset transactions. Under the proposed model, users can withdraw assets only if their deposit belongs to an approved association set curated by authorized Association Set Providers (ASPs). The proposal suggests treating the association set, verifier contract, and proof-generation services as public-good infrastructure governed by EDIC institutions.

The Devconnect Argentina app is now live as a Progressive Web App (PWA). Devconnect attendees can add the app to their phones for venue navigation, ticket access, completing quests, POAPs, and crypto payments with vendors. The app features a non-custodial embedded wallet powered by Para, generated from an email. Attendees can also claim a worldfair.eth ENS subname as their onchain identity. Devconnect takes place next week, November 17-22, at La Rural in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Aave Labs announced that its Ireland-based subsidiary, Push, received MiCAR authorisation from the Central Bank of Ireland. Push will offer a zero-fee on-and-off-ramp for stablecoins across the European Economic Area. The service will allow users to convert between euros and supported stablecoins, including Aave’s native GHO stablecoin, under a compliant framework..

• 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.
