New Vault Performance Metrics

A highly requested dashboard update has officially rolled out for users tracking their automated liquidity strategies on app.bonzo.finance/vaults.

90-Day Performance Chart Live: In addition to our standard 30-day view, Bonzo Vaults now features a brand-new 90-day Performance Chart. Vaults are explicitly structured as long-term DeFi vehicles designed for passive yield generation. This extended timeline helps smooth out short-term market fluctuations and provides users with a clearer, macro-level perspective on historical performance, yield stability, and compounding efficiency over time.

Head over to app.bonzo.finance/vaults, click on an individual vault, scroll down to the Historical Data section, and toggle over to the new 90D Perf tab.

The Bonzo Governance Forum is Officially Live

We have hit a major milestone on Bonzo Finance’s march toward decentralized governance with the official launch of our dedicated forum. To make the transition as seamless as possible, the hub uses the same setup and structure as familiar ecosystem platforms such as SaucerSwap and Karate Combat.

This RFC marks the start of our relationship with independent risk stewards to systematically and safely optimize protocol parameters. The proposal outlines parameter adjustments for supply caps, borrow limits, and Slope-2 interest rates for the $DOVU asset to safely expand liquidity capacity while preserving robust liquidation margins.

While this initial parameter change will pass via centralized execution, we want the community to treat it as a true "Dry Run" for decentralized governance. Head over to gov.bonzo.finance to register your account, read the guidelines, and drop your feedback directly in the thread!

Mainnet v0.73 & HIP-1261 Simple Fees Deployed to Testnet

The Hedera network has advanced network predictability with the introduction of HIP-1261 Simple Fees to the Testnet environment. This structural update transforms the network's costing engine into a unified, predictable JSON schedule. Rather than forcing developers to execute convoluted computations to estimate gas variables across complex or nested smart contract calls, it streamlines everything into a clear "base + extras" format—paving the way for predictable corporate overhead before moving code to Mainnet.

Hedera Agent Kit V4 Launched

Building on autonomous web3 innovation, the Hedera Agent Kit V4 has officially gone live with a fully modular overhaul. JavaScript developers building AI-driven web3 agents can now dynamically select individual plugin packages rather than downloading a massive, monolithic SDK. For example, if an agent only needs to process payments without executing smart contract calls, developers can pull that exact package. This dramatically slims down application codebases, lowers network latency, and introduces custom policy boundaries for automated transaction signing.

MoonPay Trade Launches Enterprise B2B DeFi Rails

In a definitive move toward mainstream financial adoption, crypto payments network MoonPay launched MoonPay Trade, an enterprise API platform built for banks, fintech platforms, and corporate firms. Led by Caroline D. Pham, former acting CFTC Chair, the initiative aims to bridge institutional capital with tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) and decentralized yield markets.

Rather than forcing legacy institutions to manage separate, fragmented blockchain environments, the API abstracts ledger complexity by coordinating transactions across more than 200 networks simultaneously. The platform serves as an end-to-end execution infrastructure that manages institutional compliance workflows, instant tokenized fund redemptions, cross-chain collateral liquidity movement, and direct pipelines to yield-bearing decentralized protocols such as Aave, Maple, and Bonzo Finance. With on-chain tokenized assets already commanding $25 billion in market value across platforms like rwa.xyz, this gateway removes the final operational hurdles preventing large-scale enterprise capital inflows.
