Ethena Labs' USDe supply has surpassed $900m.
The campaign will end when the supply reaches $1bn or on 1 April.
Those reductions only effect:
▫️Curve LP positions reduction of shard multiplier from 20x to 15x.
▫️Reduced shard multiplier for holding USDe outside of an eligible pool from 5x to 2x.
▫️No other pools are impacted.
These reductions equate to an approximate 1bn per day decrease in shards issued, or ~12% less shards per day.

Memeland has introduced Stakeland, the social staking protocol.
Stakeland is a community-first Social Staking Protocol built by the team behind Memecoin, Memeland, and 9GAG.
It is a platform that allows users to stake their crypto assets, such as MEME or other coins, to earn new tokens from promising new projects.
How does Stakeland work?
▫️Users stake MEME and other crypto assets to get Steaks
▫️Steaks are "burnt" for new tokens launched on Stakeland
▫️Users participate in simple and fun quests to learn more about the new projects
▫️New projects get a community of engaged and informed holders (not bots) as their early supporters
▫️New projects can avoid the low-quality and mercenary-like farmers who actually don't care about what they are building
▫️New projects can reach ~1 million on-chain holders at the lowest cost and effort possible
