Pump.fun announced the launch of the "Holder Reward" mechanism and the cancellation of the Cashback model. From now on, when token creators issue new coins, they can choose between the standard "Creator Fee" model and the "Holder Reward" model.In the Holder Reward model, the relevant fees will be transferred to the Pump.fun distribution wallet, and the platform will automatically conduct multiple proportional distributions every hour. Users with a holding value exceeding 20 USD will receive rewards, with more holdings resulting in more rewards. Rewards are paid in the quoted token of the trading pair; for example, tokens paired with SOL will distribute rewards in SOL.Existing Cashback and Creator Fee model tokens can apply to be converted into Holder Reward tokens, and the conversion cannot be reversed. The SOL and USDC trading pairs will continue to use a tiered fee rate that decreases as market value increases; custom trading pairs can set a fixed rate between 0.01% and 3%, which cannot be modified once determined.

The Solana meme coin launch platform Pump.fun announced two updates: the introduction of holder rewards and the removal of the cashback model. Holder reward tokens can earn rewards simply by holding them, with higher limits for longer holding periods, aimed at community development.The cashback model is no longer an option for launches. Creators can choose between creator fees or holder reward tokens. Existing tokens can apply for an irreversible switch, submitted by the team or community, with review criteria based on objective information beneficial to the token and community. Custom trading pairs must set a fixed fee rate of 0.01% to 3%, while SOL/USDC will continue to use the market cap tiered fee rate.Fees go into the Pump.fun distribution wallet, automatically distributed multiple times per hour based on holding proportions, with participation allowed for holdings over $20 in value. Protocol fees are the same across all types, and rewards are distributed in quoted tokens.

The DAO governance platform Aragon announced the launch of Confidential Voting, a governance plugin based on the Zama Protocol for Aragon OSx. This plugin keeps individual votes encrypted during the counting process while retaining the familiar Aragon voting experience. Zama's programmable confidentiality allows projects to define decryptable information, decryptors, and conditions.Voters select for, against, or abstain through the Aragon interface, choosing to encrypt and submit using the Zama Relayer SDK on the client side. The plugin utilizes fully homomorphic encryption for verification, weighting, and accumulating encrypted votes, only performing threshold decryption on the final counts of for, against, and abstain after the voting ends. The plugin does not grant decryption rights to individual ballots.To maintain confidentiality during voting, the system does not provide real-time counting, does not support early execution, and allows voters to change their encrypted votes before the deadline. The plugin adopts a modular architecture, allowing it to be used in parallel with other governance primitives, and actions related to proposals are executed by the DAO after approval.

According to The Block, Uniswap Labs announced the launch of a new tool, StablePair Hook, designed specifically for stablecoin trading pairs such as USDC/USDT and USDC/USDG.Uniswap Labs stated that StablePair Hook can provide traders with consistent and predictable quotes, allowing liquidity providers to retain more of the value they create. Data shows that in the second quarter, the trading volume of exchanges between stablecoins on Uniswap reached $43.4 billion, surpassing the total of the other three major on-chain trading venues.StablePair Hook replaces fixed rates with dynamic rates, which adjust based on the degree of price deviation from the reference price within the pool. When the price is close to the reference price, the Hook adjusts the transaction fee for each trade to maintain a fixed bid-ask spread; when the price deviates from the reference range, trades that push the price away incur no fees, while trades that pull the price back to the reference price use a Dutch auction mechanism, with fees decreasing block by block from high to low until accepted by the trader. Uniswap Labs stated that this allows liquidity providers to retain more value from price returns.The first batch of StablePair Hook pools will go live on Ethereum, supporting USDC/USDG and USDC/USDT trading pairs. This Hook can be upgraded through Uniswap governance, and the fee system and other parameters can be adjusted without migrating liquidity.
