Blockworks has launched the Unified API, putting its own data and Messari's behind one API key after buying Messari in June. The key covers market data for more than 40,000 assets and standardized financials for more than 400 DeFi protocols, and existing Blockworks and Messari keys already work.
Metaplex has opened Vantage, a Solana trading terminal you build from movable blocks for charts, swaps, token research, and wallet tracking. The beta is waitlist-gated and charges no Metaplex fees, with swaps, market orders, and limit orders on the default board.
Velocity dropped the whitelist on its public beta, opening the rebuilt Drift perps exchange to anyone with a wallet. Traders can post wBTC, wETH, SOL, and USDT as collateral in one account at 2 bps, on code OtterSec audited with no critical findings and Velocity published on GitHub.
Cloak is live on Solana mainnet, keeping balances, amounts, and counterparties private while letting you prove any transaction to an auditor through a viewing key. Shielding is free and withdrawals cost 0.3%, and the shielded pool opened after more than $500,000 in payment volume during private beta.
