SPIN and Rehype pools are now live.
SPIN: earn points with GYD and LPing in E-CLPs.
Rehype pools: new most capital efficient AMM in DeFi, allowing you to triple dip with yield.
It’s time to unveil a Gyroscope core building block: Concentrated Liquidity Pools (CLPs) for 2 and 3 assets.
2-CLPs are like Uniswap v3 but in Balancer and specialized to the most-traded range.
3-CLPs combine the innovations of multi-asset pools and concentrated liquidity.
While DeFi has been turbulent, Gyroscope is taking off 🚀 Now at 12m TVL.
This is just from a single piece of Gyroscope - the E-CLPs.
The rest of Gyroscope will launch soon, culminating in the maximally resilient stablecoin GYD.

Introducing Gyroscope's governance system.
A system that recognizes the challenges of decentralization and mitigates the risks inherent in decentralized governance.
Gyroscope has come a long way since launching the testnet game in March ‘21.
Now that the (significantly matured ) contracts are being audited & mainnet is around the corner it is time to look back.
Review of the Gyroscope Testnet Game:
The Gyroscope Testnet Game is now closed:
- no further action will affect your final score
- weights will still be applied to the raw Sybil scores and will be proposed and discussed soon

Concentrated liquidity can do it all: capital efficiency & a simple UX. Introducing Elliptic Concentrated Liquidity Pools.
Gyro E-CLPs are ideal for assets w/ externally informed price bounds, such as stablecoins & liquid staking tokens.
The first LST E-CLP is already live. 👇
E-CLPs are now live on
@arbitrum
, bringing one of the most efficient AMM types to the network.
E-CLPs have:
- Quickly grown to 17m+ TVL
- Captured large market share, often outcompeting Uni v3 & regularly receiving 80+% of 1inch volume
- Reduced LVR with automatic rate providers
Gyroscope’s 30-day volume has grown more than 350% over the last month to 140m 🚀
Growth is set to continue with Gyroscope’s all-weather stablecoin GYD almost here.
🧵👇
The stablecoin space is finally evolving ✨
Early 2020: USDT and USDC were the only real options, and DAI was a minor player.
2021-22: new entrants were mainly ponzi schemes that collapsed.
Fast forward to 2023: there's a wave of new innovations and safer stablecoins.

Why? E-CLPs.
Check out this thread for an explainer on how Gyroscope's E-CLPs fit in the space of AMM pools 👇
And prepare for E-CLPs to be a driving force in the upcoming GYD launch.
Another Gyroscope milestone was unlocked this weekend.
In just 5 months of uncapped release, E-CLPs:
- surpassed 100m in total volume
- surpassed 20m TVL
Growth continues with the GYD launch just around the corner 👀
You can’t have a healthy DAO without robust Sybil resistance.

Not only does Gyroscope aim to be an all-weather stablecoin, it also introduces more resilient liquidity across stablecoins.
This is especially important in crises where liquidity breaks down, such as in the March USDC depeg.
How does this work? Follow along here 👇
Recently, the core team focused very much on getting ready for mainnet:
→ the Gyroscope codebase is now fully formed & functional
→ audits are progressing well & the first pools are almost ready to be deployed
Development highlights:
Among several innovations, Gyroscope brings to market a new system for price oracles and circuit breakers that improves protocol resilience.

boost efficiency on several fronts.
In addition to asymmetric concentrated liquidity, E-CLPs build in rate providers.
Rate providers make yield-bearing asset pools more efficient by:
- automating liquidity management
- mitigating LVR
Gyroscope is bringing capital efficiency to wstETH on Optimism 🔥
A capped wstETH/WETH E-CLP gauge is now whitelisted by Balancer on Optimism. More info soon.
Prepped and ready to launch..?!
A new wave of gauges have been approved on Optimism.

@arbitrum
Gyroscope introduces a more efficient and resilient stablecoin to Arbitrum DeFi that
- Can be swapped and LPd with extreme capital efficiency
- Automatically protects from asset depegging risk, oracle failure, and smart contract risk
Gyroscope’s E-CLPs are at their best performance so far with several pool utilisations in high double digits and up to 118% today.
Keep a close eye with the GYD launch soon adding a new focal point to an E-CLP liquidity network.
Gyroscope received a grant from
@0xPolygonDAO
to create media assets w/
@CRE8RDAO
.
The grant was in support of launching Gyroscope's first AMMs, capped CLPs, on Polygon. This is part of an iterative roll-out, ending w/ launch on Ethereum.

Holders of USDC or sDAI on Base can now Triple Dip on Rehype E-CLP yield:
- BAL incentives live
- Swap yield from concentrated liquidity
- Yield from Aave and sDAI
Reflecting on the GYD launch: liquidity from 0 to 1
- GYD secondary markets have grown to 6m TVL
- GYD price has remained stable within a few bps of 1
- GYD already settles trades between other GYD-paired assets (!)
- GYD pools see substantial BAL incentives on Balancer

Gyroscope's E-CLP is a new type of asymmetric & automated concentrated liquidity pool.
This new pool launches with BAL emissions and is already integrated with
@AuraFinance
.
What can Gyroscope's E-CLPs do?
Take for example the MATICX E-CLP:
- Today achieved 3.2x the utilization of the larger traditional pool.
- The E-CLP’s asymmetric liquidity unlocks greater exposure to LST yield (currently ~20% more).
Balancer Technology hosts over $350 million in next-gen
#ve8020
governance tokenomics, over $250 million in LST pools with inbuilt LVR reduction, and has facilitated over $278m of swaps through optimized E-CLPs.
All this only scratches the surface of what the tech is capable of.
The Terra UST stablecoin could collapse in a bank run effect. UST is backed by an endogenous collateral Luna. Current Luna marketcap has fallen to arguably < outstanding UST. We are now in a dangerous spiral: as users panic out of UST, this reinforces the Luna crash further.

⏰ Time: tomorrow, Aug 10 @ 12pm UTC
🗣️ Topic: LSTs and Gyro's concentrated liquidity pools
📍Location:
Balancer has received a critical vulnerability report affecting a number of V2 Pools.
Emergency mitigation procedures have been executed to secure a majority of TVL, but some funds remain at risk.
Users are advised to withdraw affected LPs immediately.
Challenge V is also coming tomorrow - it will be the first of a series of ‘Proof of Work’ challenges, that complement the current series of ‘Proof of Past Work’ challenges.
Join us at 6PM GMT in the Discord to get more info and participate in Challenge V.
Good luck!
The first LST E-CLP (stMATIC/wMATIC) now deploys nearly 1m TVL
Today, this pool achieved 13-22x the utilization of comparable stable pools while earning 2x the fee rate for LPs
With only 1/7 the assets, this E-CLP is achieving 3x the volume of the nearest stMATIC pool
Two major E-CLPs are now live on Ethereum, supported by
@Balancer
with BAL incentives.
- wstETH/wETH E-CLP
- cbETH/wstETH E-CLP
These pools raise the bar for capital efficiency by up to 35%.
