Kelp DAO has introduced KEP.
Kelp is a restacking protocol for EigenLayer, run by the LST Stader team.
KEP (Kelp Earned Points) is designed to be a game-changer in the restaking landscape. It is a token representation of EigenLayer Point earned by Kelp where 1 KEP = 1 EL Point.
▫️Restakers can claim their KEP tokens on Kelp dApp soon.
▫️Each week, the restakers can choose to claim the EigenLayer Points they earned in the previous week.
▫️Kelp will charge a 0.5% fee for claimed KEP tokens for enabling DeFi operations. This fee will be utilized to incentivize restakers on Kelp DAO.
▫️Not claiming KEP tokens is completely fine. Unclaimed KEP tokens will be attributed to the restakers that did not claim KEP at the time of rewards disbursal of EigenLayer or other protocols.
▫️For any rewards issued by EigenLayer or other protocols for EigenLayer Points, KEP holders will receive rewards in proportion to the EigenLayer Points their KEP token holdings represent.

Circle is discontinuing support for USDC on the TRON blockchain in a phased transition.
Circle will no longer mint USDC on TRON. Circle will support Circle Mint customers’ transfer(s) of USDC to other blockchains through February 2025. As Circle only serves business and institutional customers, retail users and other non-Circle customers can move their USDC on TRON to an exchange or distributor where it can be transferred to another blockchain where USDC is supported.

Cryptocurrency investors took to X to express their concern about the staking yield of Ethena Labs’ newly launched stablecoin.
Ethena Labs launched its USDe stablecoin on the public mainnet on Feb. 19, according to an X post from the company’s official page. The USDe Ethereum-based synthetic dollar currently offers a 27.6% annual percentage yield (APY), according to Ethena Labs’ homepage. This is considerably higher than the 20% yield offered by Anchor Protocol on Terra’s UST before the algorithmic stablecoin issuer Terra collapsed in May 2022.
