Technical SEO and site structure updated across key pages. Chainflip's visibility in AI-powered search tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity has been strengthened through structured content and authority signals.
Passive capital can now backstop large volatile-asset swaps, unlocking new yield streams for LPs and improving protocol liquidity depth.
Highlights:
Clearing-house style lending: LPs can now supply passive capital that backstops large swaps without actively managing positions
Capital efficiency for LPs: The same capital works harder, providing liquidity across the protocol without requiring constant rebalancing
New passive yield streams: LPs earn from swap activity that their capital helps facilitate
The same BTC can now back your loan and provide Boost liquidity simultaneously, no separate pools, no trade-off.
Highlights:
Dual-use capital: BTC in the lending pool is drawn proportionally for Boost, with the lending pool contributing at least 30% of Boost liquidity. The same capital speeds up deposits and backstops large swaps at the same time
Boost fees now open to lenders: The Boost fee stream, over $490,000 earned since launch on $1.5B in swap volume, is now accessible to anyone supplying BTC as collateral, not just standalone Boost depositors
Legacy Boost pools unaffected: Existing standalone Boost depositors continue as before, with the option to migrate to Lending 2.0 to combine both yield streams
No opt-in required: BTC suppliers in Lending 2.0 are automatically included
LPs now have a smarter option when creating stablecoin strategies on lp.chainflip.io.
Highlights:
Dynamic liquidity centering: Instead of placing orders around a fixed $1 peg, oracle-based mode dynamically centers liquidity around the current market price
Better capital efficiency: Liquidity stays tighter to where trading is actually happening
No lockups: Applies to both oracle-based and fixed-peg strategy types
Native USDT (TRC-20) swaps are now available on Chainflip mainnet, no KYC, no CEX, no wrapped tokens.
Highlights:
Native USDT-TRC20 routing: Swap USDT on TRON directly to and from any supported asset on Chainflip, fully permissionless
Liquidity ramping live: Integrators and LPs are actively routing and providing liquidity across the ecosystem
Largest stablecoin network: TRON settles more USDT volume than any other chain, this opens Chainflip to a massive new user base, particularly across emerging markets
Collateral is no longer idle. Supplied BTC now earns from two sources at once, and the whole collateral model has been reworked from the ground up.
Highlights:
Unified collateral pool: Supplied assets back all loans in a single pool — no separate products to manage
BTC earns Boost yield passively: BTC suppliers now route through Boost, earning a share of swap fees on top of lending interest with no opt-in required. Since Boost launched, it has earned LPs over $490,000 in fees on $1.5B in swap volume
100% Loan Coverage enforced: New loans are rejected if they'd drop coverage below 100%, keeping the protocol fully backed at oracle prices at all times
Partial liquidations: When an LTV gets risky, the protocol takes the smallest action needed to restore health, not a full unwind
All existing loans migrated automatically: If you had a position, it's already on 2.0. No action needed
Chainflip has reached a supply milestone. The total FLIP burned through protocol activity has now exceeded everything emitted since TGE.
Supply rose with emissions, peaked near 95.7M, and has returned to around 90M, where it launched. That crossover happened through normal protocol activity: every swap generates fees, a portion buys FLIP from the open market, and that FLIP is permanently removed from supply. No governance vote, no treasury event.
$7.9B in total swap volume and 830,000+ swaps later, burns have fully offset all emissions. And they keep running with every swap that clears.
TRON is now live on Perseverance, Chainflip's testnet. Swaps involving TRX and USDT (TRC-20) are available for testing ahead of mainnet deployment. This marks another step in expanding Chainflip's native cross-chain support to one of the largest stablecoin networks.

2x faster BTC & ETH swaps
We’ve reduced block confirmations required for swaps on BTC and ETH, doubling speed and improving UX across the board.
BTC: 3 → 2 confirmations
ETH: 6 → 3 confirmations
This change improves execution times, shortens integration loops for partners, and tightens the overall swap experience, especially for high-volume users.
Learn more
Fortifying economic security
We’ve implemented the first wave of validator reforms to better align incentives, improve network stability, and prepare for delegated staking.
Backup validators removed, reducing emissions by 20%
Set size reduced with higher minimum bids
Native FLIP transfers enabled between validator accounts
These changes raise the bar for validator participation and set the stage for long-term network hardening.
We’ve overhauled how Stablecoin Strategies behave, giving LPs more control, smarter automation, and stronger APY potential.
What’s New
Dynamic Spread Adjustment
LPs can now set different buy and sell spreads that automatically adapt over time based on asset balance and market flow.
→ For example:
If you’re overweight in USDT, the strategy will widen your buy range for USDC and tighten your sell range for USDT, encouraging rebalancing in the right direction.
This dynamic, asymmetric pricing makes strategies more responsive, capital-efficient, and better positioned to capture yield opportunities.
Learn more
Smarter quotes, better execution
The old quoting system often showed prices that didn’t reflect actual swap execution, as LPs front ran each other right before execution, and users ended up with much better prices as a result. This update introduces a smarter backend model to fix that.
Quote Accuracy Improvement
The new quoter accounts for LP behaviour during execution time vs quotes provided, since now we can connect quotes vs executed prices
Better listings, better indexing
We’re making it easier to discover Chainflip, both through major aggregator platforms and organic search.
DefiLlama Adapters Live
Chainflip is now listed across multiple DefiLlama Yield pages:
Improves visibility alongside other top DeFi protocols
Not eligible for bridge listings (no EVM contracts required)
Technical SEO Improvements
Reduced duplicate content
Fixed broken links and crawl issues
Improved page structure and internal linking
More eyes, cleaner indexing, and a stronger foundation for long-term discovery.
Less guesswork, more confidence
We’ve overhauled the LP deposit and withdrawal flow to make it easier, and safer, for liquidity providers to manage their funds.
Wallet connection support: LPs can now connect their wallet directly to guide the process
Smarter flow detection: System checks for correct asset and amount before confirming
Error reduction: Helps prevent accidental deposits of unsupported or incorrect tokens
Clearer UI: More visible status indicators and actionable next steps
This change was driven by direct LP feedback and is designed to reduce friction and eliminate common errors in the LP process.
Cleaner metrics, smarter context
This update refines how we present trading volume and broker stats across the Explorer, reducing confusion and surfacing the right numbers for each user type.
Swap Stats Toggle
New toggle lets users switch between:
Filled Volume (default): How much LPs fill in pools
Swap Volume: Total inflow per swap request
Tooltips added for clarity around both metrics
Affects Volume, Boost, and DCA stats, not Latest Swaps or Top Sources/Destinations
Broker Stats 2.0
New structure for Main vs Affiliate Brokers
Shows separate metrics for:
Broker’s own swaps, volume, fees
Swaps/volume routed via 'Affiliates'
3-tab chart view: Volume, Swaps, Fees
Export functionality + advanced filters
Uses new dropdown components for smoother UX
LP Stats Refresh
Replaced old area charts with stacked bar charts for consistency
Titles, tooltips, and stat labels clarified
All LP volume is now labelled 'Filled Volume'
This update clears up long-standing double-counting confusion, better aligns stats with actual protocol behaviour, and lays the groundwork for future Explorer insights.
