💸 Liqwid Drops Batching Fees to 0 — Making DeFi on Cardano Truly Accessible
Big news from Cardano’s top lending protocol: Liqwid Finance has officially eliminated batching fees, dropping them to 0 ADA. 🌊
This update removes one of the last frictions in the borrowing and lending experience on Cardano, making DeFi more seamless, affordable, and inclusive than ever before.
Why it matters?
Fee-free transactions are a major step toward mainstream usability — especially for users in emerging markets, where every ADA counts. With this move, Cardano DeFi becomes more competitive and community-driven.
🔗 Vespr Wallet x Sundial — Bridging Cardano and Bitcoin
In a major step toward multi-chain interoperability, Vespr Wallet has partnered with Sundial Protocol, the first Layer 2 connecting Cardano and Bitcoin. 😱
This integration allows Vespr to expand beyond Cardano and begin offering Bitcoin-native capabilities, setting the stage for new DeFi use cases, cross-chain liquidity, and more secure, scalable interactions between $ADA and $BTC.
Why this matters:
It’s the first time a leading Cardano wallet connects directly with Bitcoin via a dedicated L2 — a move that could unlock new possibilities for builders and protocols on both sides.
🧩 FluidTokens Brings Bitcoin Runes Airdrops to Cardano Users
FluidTokens, one of Cardano’s most creative DeFi platforms, just launched a feature that lets users airdrop Bitcoin runes to up to 500 wallets — all in one transaction. 😱🔥
Supported wallets include Xverse, Leather, and Magic Eden, enabling Cardano users to engage with Bitcoin-native assets directly and efficiently.
Why it matters:
This feature positions Cardano not just as a blockchain, but as a hub for multi-chain innovation — where projects like FluidTokens are building tools that connect ecosystems, simplify experiences, and expand what’s possible for ADA holders.
