Liquidium says demand for stablecoins on its platform has increased, leading to higher yields for users supplying USDC and USDT.

The platform said suppliers can currently earn around 4 per cent annual percentage yield by providing USDC or USDT through its lending markets. According to Liquidium, the returns are generated through cross-chain decentralised finance activity rather than token incentives or subsidy programs.

The company described the yield as unsubsidised and non-inflationary, indicating that returns are derived from borrowing demand rather than the issuance of additional reward tokens.

Stablecoin lending has become an increasingly competitive area within decentralised finance, with yields often fluctuating in response to borrowing activity, liquidity levels and broader market conditions. Periods of stronger demand can result in higher returns for lenders, while yields may decline when liquidity increases or borrowing demand weakens.

Liquidium’s update was promotional in nature and did not provide detailed data on borrowing volumes or the factors driving the recent increase in demand.

The announcement highlights continuing interest in stablecoin lending as users seek yield opportunities that are less exposed to the price volatility associated with other digital assets.

Menese has released a new set of updates for its privacy-focused shielded ledger, a project designed to allow confidential transfers and private balance lookups while keeping transactions verifiable.

The latest changes follow a recent technical review and are now available through the project’s open-source repository on GitHub. The developers say the ledger is intended to support private movement of stablecoins and other digital assets without exposing transaction amounts, balances or the link between sender and recipient.

According to the project documentation, notes and cryptographic keys remain in the user’s browser, while zero-knowledge proofs are verified within the ledger itself. The ledger publishes commitments and nullifiers rather than readable transaction details, with the aim of preventing the creation of a public transaction graph.

A key part of the update is the addition of private lookups through a private information retrieval system. The project says users can query their own records without revealing which record they are searching for, and that the ledger processes queries without learning the requested index.

The developers argue that privacy for payments requires protection of both transfers and read access. Public blockchains generally allow anyone to inspect transaction histories, balances and payment relationships. The Menese design seeks to reduce that level of transparency by limiting what is written to the ledger and what can be inferred from wallet queries.

The project has been built on the Internet Computer, where the team says one of the technical challenges was implementing a Groth16 zero-knowledge verifier directly in Motoko rather than relying on a native cryptographic precompile. Documentation accompanying the release includes details on the verifier, testing framework and performance measurements.

Menese has also published extensive documentation on its testing process, trusted setup requirements and security assumptions. The repository states that the current deployment is a working system and a valueless demo, with a single-party setup for demonstration purposes. The team says a production deployment would require a multi-party trusted setup ceremony and further independent review.

Privacy-focused payment systems remain an active area of research across several blockchain and distributed ledger networks. Supporters argue that financial privacy is necessary for many commercial and personal use cases, while critics have long questioned how such systems can balance confidentiality with regulatory oversight and compliance obligations.

The latest Menese release adds new functionality for confidential transfers and private lookups, while placing much of the project’s design and verification process in the public domain through its open-source repository.

ICPay has released its official product roadmap, setting out a development plan that begins with wallet infrastructure and extends to token transfers, trading and merchant payments.

The company said the roadmap reflects features that have already been launched, those currently under development and the next stages of the platform’s expansion.

Completed work includes a custodial ICP wallet and a username system that allows users to interact through readable usernames rather than principal identifiers.

ICPay said it is now building multi-token support, which is intended to allow the wallet to work with a broader range of tokens.

Future development plans include token transfers, token creation tools, on-chain trading functionality and merchant payment features. The company said the roadmap has been organised according to technical dependencies rather than community excitement around individual features.

Publishing a roadmap provides users with greater visibility over product priorities, although timelines and delivery schedules can change as development progresses. The approach is common among wallet and payment platforms seeking to communicate how infrastructure improvements will support later features.

The roadmap is available through ICPay’s website at icpay.app/roadmap

Odin.fun says it is making changes to its roadmap voting system after some users reported being unable to participate through the platform’s legacy voting page.

The platform said the issue affected two groups of users. Some had already used their vote tokens on V1 feature proposals, while others had trading volume below the eligibility threshold required to vote.

According to Odin.fun, it is working on resetting vote tokens for users who previously voted on V1 features, allowing them to take part in the current roadmap process. The platform said it intends to keep its existing model in which users with higher trading volume receive more voting power.

It also plans to adjust the eligibility rules so that more users can participate without fundamentally changing how the voting system operates.

Community voting has become a common feature across digital asset platforms, where users are often given a role in deciding product priorities and feature development. These systems can also create disputes over eligibility criteria and the distribution of voting power.

Odin.fun encouraged users to return to the roadmap page and take part in the voting process as the adjustments are implemented. The company said user feedback had prompted the review and that participation remained an important part of shaping future platform features.
