Kodiak Finance, the native liquidity platform for Berachain, has integrated Orbs’ decentralized dTWAP and dLIMIT protocols to bring more advanced trading functionality to its users, as reported to Finbold on October 16. The integration adds institutional-grade order types to Berachain’s leading decentralized exchange, which currently holds over $250 million in total value locked (TVL) and has processed more than $4 billion in trading volume.  More than 100,000 users on Kodiak can now access new tools for time-weighted and limit order execution, helping reduce slippage and improve trading efficiency. Bringing CEX-level trading to Berachain’s decentralized network Orbs’ dTWAP (decentralized Time-Weighted Average Price) protocol enables large trades to be broken into smaller orders that execute over time, minimizing price impact. The feature can also serve as a dollar-cost-averaging (DCA) strategy, allowing users to accumulate assets gradually rather than in a sin...

The trial of two brothers, Anton and James Peraire-Bueno, began yesterday at New York’s SDNY courthouse. The brothers, both in their twenties, were charged in May last year with “conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.” The charges relate to a $25 million exploit of maximal extractable value (MEV) bots on Ethereum which took place in April 2023. The brothers are expected to argue that their actions were in line with the Ethereum’s “economic incentives” and all they did was “outsmart some ‘predatory’ automated trading bots,” Business Insider reports. Yesterday’s jury selection was covered by Inner City Press’ Matthew Russell Lee who will continue to live-tweet the trial.

Tokenomics in DeFi: Incentive Design’s Impact on Protocol Growth! In the rapidly evolving world of Decentralized Finance (DeFi), one factor consistently determines whether a project thrives or fades away: incentive design. Well-crafted incentives not only attract users but also sustain long-term engagement, ensuring protocols can scale, remain liquid, and build strong communities. Why Incentives Matter in DeFi Unlike traditional finance, where centralized institutions dictate rules, DeFi protocols rely on token-based economics (tokenomics) to align user behavior with protocol goals. Incentives encourage users to: Provide liquidity to decentralized exchanges (DEXs). Stake or lock tokens for network security. Stake or lock tokens for network security. Participate in governance decisions. Contribute to ecosystem growth through referrals, lending, or yield farming. Without the right incentive model, protocols often face short-term hype followed by rapid decline , commonly known as the “fa...

Indeed, despite BTC’s recent resurgence to back above the $100,000 mark, there could be a major shift set to take place with the two cryptocurrencies. For much of the history of the asset class, Bitcoin and Ethereum have sat as the top two cryptos by market cap. Yet, there has always been a very clear one and two. Although many expect that to stay the same, there is one expert who is challenging that theory. Moreover, they have noted that recent developments could hint at a different story coming to pass.
