There was a short interval of downtime, however all techniques are again up and working once more and Optimism assured that this could be the final improve that required downtime. It was unavoidable on this occasion due to the plans emigrate to an structure that’s extra aligned with ETH.
Subsequent, the V3 spot market has now been on Mainnet for 2 weeks! The CCs have been doing QA within the meantime, and are engaged on bootstrapping it with extra liquidity, however are nonetheless looking for suggestions from the Spartan Council.

Adam introduced up the truth that this would be the first market being added the place the funding charge will completely lean a technique, and it is smart to regulate to this dynamic slowly to ensure there are not any bizarre or unaccounted for market behaviors.
Kaleb is anxious, nonetheless, that there isn’t a borrowing functionality wherever as a result of rebase dynamic (which is primarily a problem with wsteth). He additionally introduced up the truth that there isn’t a liquidity for these markets on any CEXs, since they’re primarily devices to be used in DeFi.
