Despite Euler's impressive trajectory with over $900 million total deposits in 6 months, few understand what Euler v2 truly brings to the table. Though Euler’s mindshare on crypto twitter is climbing, most discourse is presently about yields. Don’t get me wrong, yields are the lifeblood of any DeFi protocol—and Euler has heaps—but I wish more retail understood the zero-to-one innovation that Euler makes. Paradigm Shift One challenge in defining Euler v2 is that it does not fit neatly into exi

Six months ago, we launched Euler v2 with a vision to expand what was possible in DeFi, giving users the freedom to lend, borrow, and build without limits. Since then, we’ve seen a wave of innovative markets emerge, alongside a growing number of builders using the Euler Vault Kit (EVK) and the Ethereum Vault Connector (EVC) to create new financial primitives. As Euler continues to scale rapidly, we want to take a moment to reflect on the progress so far and share a glimpse of what’s ahead. Eul

Euler has been part of Base's journey from the start, as one of the earliest protocols to go live on Base in 2023 through Euler v1. Now, we’re excited to announce that Euler v2 is live on Base, bringing v2’s enhanced lending and borrowing experience to all of Base’s users. Why Base? Base has quickly become one of DeFi’s biggest hubs for innovation, offering high speeds and low transaction costs, all while maintaining the security of Ethereum. For Euler, Base represents an ideal environment to

Euler v2 launched its much-anticipated comeback a little over 4 months ago and has grown remarkably quickly in that time, reaching $250m in TVL. Today we are pleased to announce that Gauntlet is entering the Euler ecosystem to act as a risk-manager for Euler DAO’s flagship lending market: Euler Prime.  By aligning with the Euler ecosystem, Gauntlet will manage risk as Euler grows to $1b in deposits and far beyond in 2025. What is Euler Prime? Euler Prime offers lending and borrowing options

Introduction  On Dec-05-2024 10:28 PM +UTC Bitcoin experienced a flash crash, sending the price from $98,000 to $90,500 on Binance, $91,700 on Kraken, and similar levels on other exchanges. The price recovered to $96,000 within 4 minutes.  Despite the rapid recovery, the volatility was sufficient to drive 3 liquidations on Euler, all of which involved positions in which a user had used one form of wrapped bitcoin (LBTC or WBTC) to borrow cbBTC. Under normal circumstances, such positions would

Euler is officially back. We couldn’t be more excited for this new chapter and can’t wait for everyone to experience the much improved Euler v2. More importantly, we also want to acknowledge users of the protocol more effectively and further build the Euler ecosystem. Following discussions, the Euler Experience Points Initiative is officially live on the Dapp, with users earning points retroactively from day one of the announced launch. In total, there will be three seasons, each lasting four m

  Euler v2 is the credit layer of onchain finance. Modular by design, it empowers builders to create vaults that collateralise almost any kind of digital asset. This launch represents a pivotal moment in DeFi. With Euler v2, the possibilities for lending, borrowing, and building are endless. Following a year of meticulous development and rigorous security audits, Euler v2 is now live, accelerating the modularity movement in DeFi. Unlike its predecessor, Euler v1, which was tailored to a partic

Building on the success of our recent code competition with 602 researchers, we're thrilled to continue our collaboration with Cantina to further fortify Euler v2's contracts and launch a $1 million bug bounty programme, now live. Over the past year, we've worked closely with numerous security teams and individual researchers whose insights have helped us refine and strengthen both Euler v2’s contract design and security. The goal of this programme is to continue to work with the security commu

Liquidity begets more liquidity “The problem with Uniswap and Euler trying to be all, like, modular, is that liquidity will fragment if there’s loads of pools for each type of asset.” Here’s why this is a flawed perspective. Left to its own devices, liquidity typically begets more liquidity. Whenever there are redundant options for where liquidity can flow to, the least liquid options often suffer. This phenomenon plays out in nature just as much as it does in economics. It’s why you seldom
