DAO Maker announced a strategic partnership with Evolution Finance, a DeFi project working with renVM to bring the top 50 digital assets to Ethereum as ERC-20 tokens. These assets will be integrated into the Evolution lending market to provide margin funding for positions on the Ethereum network.
EVN is an Evolution Finance utility token used to gain privileges in the Evolution lending market. All liquidity added for EVN tokens is permanently locked.

Dynamic AMM as a Solution for Decentralized Smart Indexes
The constant invariant AMM formula developed by Uniswap and Balancer is the vital core of all Defi. It is simple, it is reliable and it works. Decentralized exchanges are the first and most popular AMM-based applications. They have billions of TVLs, huge trading volumes, and compete successfully with the largest centralized exchanges for user attention.
The problem of capital efficiency was the main driver of AMM development, which eventually led to a new generation of AMMs such as Curve, Yield, Mooniswap, etc.
And PowerPool proposed a completely new concept of Dynamic AMM, constantly optimizing the AMM weights to extract the maximum return from the index capital.
