This Near Weekly Recap is provided solely for informational purposes and does not constitute investment advice. Last week continued to be a strong correction week for the market. NEAR price has dropped below $10. Personally, the correction above is quite deep. However, NEAR’s TVL increased strongly compared to week 17, This shows that the money flow has not left the Near ecosystem and the above drop is just a price correction. The past week has also been full of interesting news. Take a look at some of the key ecosystem news that was notable last week.

Curve Finance Integrates the Aurora Network

Ethereum’s leading stableswap platform, Curve Finance, has integrated NEAR Protocol’s EVM layer, Aurora. Users can now connect to the Aurora network on their Ethereum wallets (such as Metamask) when using Curve, and enjoy the dapp’s deep liquidity pools without the high gas fees or wait time.

In light of this integration, NEAR’s DeFi hub, Proximity Labs, will allocate up to $7.5M in grants to Curve to help establish its presence in the Aurora ecosystem. The synergy between Curve and Aurora will further accelerate the growth Aurora has enjoyed since the beginning of this year.

Near is a partner with Atomic Wallet

The decentralized wallet platform, AtomicWallet.io, announced a partnership with Near to integrate the Near wallet on their platform. This partnership gives Near access to 3 million users on AtomicWallet.io

UST on Aurora/NEAR with Bastion Protocol

The proposal to encourage the use of UST over Bastion Protocol is ongoing. If this is true then NEAR will develop USN by allying with UST to have a powerful stablecoin alliance

Bastion will create a lending market for UST in addition to cUST/cUSDT and cUST/cUSDC Stableswap pools.

Terra will initially match Bastion’s BSTN emissions with UST incentives for the 2 pools and seed $5m liquidity to the UST lending pool to kickstart liquidity. This is estimated to be $150k per month, for a duration of 3 months.

If the pools grow beyond $18mm in combined liquidity, Terra will try to maintain a 20% APR by making up the rest of the rewards. This is necessary to ensure users have sufficient incentives to take on the switching costs, deposit, and trade UST on Aurora as opposed to just recursing on Anchor.
