The cryptocurrency and decentralized finance (DeFi) sectors are witnessing significant developments as various platforms announce new partnerships and integrations aimed at enhancing yield options and liquidity. CryptoRank has partnered with Metis to explore the Metis Ecosystem, focusing on its Decentralized Sequencer and Liquid Staking Derivatives. ParallelFi announced collaborations with three native yield partners, including ethena_labs, ether_fi, and LidoFinance, to improve native yield options for its users. Metis, recognized as a top 6 Layer 2 (L2) platform by L2Beat with a Total Value Locked (TVL) of $900 million, has integrated ethena_labs to offer native yield and support its Shards campaign. Additionally, ParallelFi is set to launch Early Access to its omni-chain L2 platform, which promises unified liquidity, native yield, NFT yield, restaking, and more, with up to six sources of yield and incentives. A partnership with KelpDAO will allow users to deposit rsETH and earn a 1.5x bonus on both Kelp and Parallel points during the Early Access phase.
