The partnership links Aave’s liquidity with Maple Finance’s institutional credit pools, introducing yield-bearing stablecoins to Aave's lending markets. Lending protocol Aave has partnered with onchain credit platform Maple Finance to connect institutional capital with decentralized liquidity. Announced on Tuesday, the integration will introduce Maple’s yield-bearing stablecoins — syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT — to Aave. SyrupUSDC will be listed in Aave’s core market, while syrupUSDT will be available in its Plasma instance. The tokens are backed by assets from Maple’s onchain credit pools, which manage billions of dollars in institutional capital from allocators and borrowers. According to Maple, the move is intended to “stabilize borrow demand and improve capital efficiency” across Aave’s markets. Read more

The cap on individual transactions aims to improve block efficiency, reduce DoS risks and lay the groundwork for parallel execution in future upgrades like Glamsterdam. Ethereum is entering the final testnet phase of its Fusaka upgrade, the last major step before its expected mainnet rollout on Dec. 3. The update introduces a per-transaction gas cap of roughly 16.78 million units to enhance block efficiency and prepare the network for parallel execution. The change, already active on the Holesky and Sepolia testnets, is designed to prevent single transactions from consuming an entire block’s gas. Previously, a single transaction could use up to the full block gas limit of around 45 million, posing potential denial-of-service risks and limiting scalability.
