Here is our ICYMI update from Week 4 2022. We listed with Coinbase, Huobi and more, launched Loans V2, tweeted Elon Musk, and hosted our first community call of the year.

MPL started trading on Coinbase and Huobi on Wednesday in MPL-USD and MPL-USDT pair respectively, a great vote for DeFi from CEXs and boost for liquidity of the token. Off the back of Coinbase, we listed with Hoo, Bitstamp, Bitrex adding to our listings with AscendEx, Bitmart, UniSwap and Balancer. It was awesome to see us trending on CoinGecko.

We launched Loans V2 for a more flexible, and capital efficient Maple Finance. We refactored our smart contracts to facilitate iterative updates over time, changes to how transactions are made has resulted in roughly 90% reduction in gas-fees and introduced improved capital efficiency for borrowers with refinancing options and frictionless liquidation tools: https://maplefinance.medium.com/introducing-loans-v2-a-more-flexible-and-capital-efficient-maple-finance-54ac1c1fa9
