USDe is Ethena’s synthetic dollar backed by delta‑neutral ETH perpetual hedge positions rather than off‑chain treasuries. The collateral basket auto‑rebalances between spot ETH, LSTs and short perps so the net delta remains near zero, turning staking rewards and funding rates into protocol revenue. USDe launched on Ethereum in January 2024 and surpassed $2 billion supply within five months, with deep secondary liquidity on Curve and Bybit.
Uniswap V3 pioneered concentrated liquidity ranges and multiple fee tiers, letting LPs choose custom price curves and earn up to 4000 × higher fee capital efficiency. It introduced NFTs to represent positions and a licence that restricts commercial forks for two years. As of 2025 V3 is deployed on more than 15 chains and retains over 60 % DEX market share by volume.
