Introduction to Laita Labs:

We are a team of builders, developers, and DeFi optimists working on building scalable protocols and products. We believe crypto mass adoption will come from scalable infrastructure and UX.

The Laita Labs team initially started building the first version of ParaSwap in 2019. Since then, ParaSwap has grown well beyond its initial scope, reaching over 105 billion in trading volume right as it rebranded to Velora. Now, Laita Labs is hoping to assist Velora DAO on its mission of achieving even greater crosschain and intent-centric scalability.

To assist with further transparency of our operations and our contributions to the growth of the protocol, we are starting this thread to share what the team has been working on lately. These updates will cover fully released products, integrations, and more.

Disclosure:

While Laita Labs ensures the best effort in achieving the best possible growth and building state-of-the-art software, it cannot guarantee the protocol’s success, as this can depend on external factors outside of Laita’s control, as well as the effort of other DAO contributors.

Gm,

We’re pleased to kick off this thread with our exciting April’s Updates and achievements:

Over the past few months, our main focus has been on executing the Project Miró roadmap, which was passed by the DAO in PIP 56, which led into the introduction of Velora as a first step (with more great surprises coming soon! :fire:).

In addition to the branding changes, Laita Labs worked on major product developments in preparation for the expansion. These included the introduction of a new Explorer as well as an update to the branding of https://app.velora.xyz/ . Additionally, Laita Labs introduced the new Cross-chain swapping system across the networks Delta was deployed in.

Now, without further ado, let’s dive into the updates:

Velora DAO - May 2025 Update

Gm Velorans,

We’re thrilled to share the May 2025 updates from Laita Labs, highlighting our progress and achievements.

1. Token Migration & Staking

Following the outline established in the Miró Roadmap, many of our efforts in the month of May have been in regards to the development and preparations needed for the new token, VLR. Some notable work from our side includes:

  • Integration of the Superchain standard for the VLR token.
  • Development of the VLR migrator contract and the VLR staking module. As part of this process, Laita Labs successfully audited, deployed and tested all contracts. As outlined in PIP-60, Laita Labs developed a one-click migration with cross-chain support .
  • Additionally, the VLR token is now officially listed on both CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap.

2. Product & Infrastructure Enhancements

May included upgrades on all aspects of Velora, from the underlying liquidity sources to the SDK and UI of the product:

  • DexLib integrations expanded to include:
    • Uniswap V4 on Avalanche
    • Balancer V3 on Optimism
    • Fluid DEX on Base
    • ArenaDEX
  • Velora’s DEX Pool tracking and discovery process was significantly improved.
  • ParaSwap SDK was upgraded to Velora SDK
  • Velora.xyz UI was redesigned: introducing multichain token selector and an updated main page.

3. Protocol Growth & Partnerships

4. Community & Governance

Finally, as part of our community facilitation efforts, members of the Laita Labs team continued their support for both our DAO as well as the wider DeFi community:

Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for being part of the Velora journey! :rocket:

Laita Labs Update — November

GM Velorians,

Not sure this quick recap of November will come as a surprise — if you’ve been following us, you’ve probably seen many of these updates already and shared in our excitement!

November was a very productive month for Velora, as multiple elements of our products and business came together. Several initiatives we had been developing for some time finally went live to our users! We also enhanced many of our core features, leveraging both our protocol’s capabilities and solutions from our partners.

Mid-november we got a chance to meet IRL with some team members, our community and partners during Devconnect in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The momentum, energy, and collaboration we experienced there will fuel everything we build next. Cheers to all of you who came to meet us or came to our talks and events! We loved your good vibes and we hope to see you again very soon!

Here’s the bigger picture and what we’ve been building, delivering and improving for our community and users. Please do tell us what you think and don’t push back on your enthusiasm! :wink:

Bringing something new to the DeFi market: Crosschain & Productive Limit Orders

Standing by our vision we are always trying to keep in mind DeFi innovation needs to be pragmatic, as inclusive as possible and to leverage what already works. As builders of the DeFi space we keep in mind that we should always take a step and question the status-quo.

The Crosschain & Productive Limit Orders we have announced during our founder’s keynote at Devconnect is our engineering spotlight of the month. The vision behind it started with the obvious remark that setting limit orders in DeFi was just putting money to sleep while the limit order waits for its execution. So Velora decided to challenge this fact and created the crosschain & productive limit order: bridge-abstract, yield bearing and gasless too!

Velora’s productive limit orders introduce features not currently available in the ecosystem, including:

  • Crosschain filling
  • Yield-generating capabilities on productive assets
  • An infrastructure available for dAPPS that are looking for a ready-to-go solution TWAP / Stop-Loss / Take Profit…

:handshake: Protocol Growth & Strategic Partnerships

November marked one of our most impactful collaborations to date:

f(x)Protocol Integration

We teamed up with one of DeFi’s most innovative protocols to offer the lowest possible rates for trading xPOSITION and sPOSITION tokens. This has a direct impact on the UX of our platform by simplifying complex tradings across the Velora ecosystem.

If you need to catch up, here’s our announcement on X: https://x.com/protocol_fx/status/1989285990041813351

This integration represents a major milestone for protocol growth and showcases Velora’s commitment to building powerful, composable systems across DeFi.

:argentina: Devconnect: DeFiConnect Festival & Governance Day

Laita’s community initiative organised Velora’s sponsoring of Velora’s DAO to the Governance Day in Buenos Aires. It was an early DevConnect kickoff with great discussions and nice frens connections. Velora’s Head of Governance, Oxytocin, was present and was happy to mingle with Governance Day participants and with representatives of Velora’s DAO. He also distributed some rare pins to a few community members - let us know how you wear that! :wink:

After the Governance Day, our team had a major footprint at DevConnect, the largest Ethereum gathering of the year. We were Platinum sponsors of DeFiConnect Festival, the biggest side event during DevConnect. We loved opening a coworking lounge and a chillout space for DeFiConnect Festival and supporting Stable Summit and Vault Summit through our sponsoring. The crowd they attracted was an amazing mix of builders, creators, investors and strong community members!

Our team also joined the DeFi public discussions by hosting a Web3 Design Heuristics Workshop, giving a keynote on Velora’s latest news and participating in a panel discussion around Intents.

Here’s where you can watch recording or catch up on our X announcements on these participations:


:rocket: Protocol & Core Infrastructure Enhancements

November was a month of deep technical contributions that strengthened the foundation for everything coming next.

  • We delivered significant upgrades to the aggregation and Delta API because performance and reliability improvement is always an ongoing priority for our team.
  • Through our integration with Native (native.org), Velora now accesses deeper liquidity sources to provide more competitive pricing. This collaboration strengthens our ability to combat liquidity fragmentation and optimize capital efficiency within onchain markets.

:books: Recommended Reading

Crosschain & Productive Limit Orders: Introduces dynamic limit orders that earn yield (via vaults like Aave) while waiting to fill. The system selects the best bridge and route in real-time, ensuring optimal execution without idle capital.

Velora Multibridge Architecture: Details Velora’s “intent-centric” model that abstracts infrastructure complexity. Instead of fixed paths, solvers compete to find the best route across all integrated bridges and liquidity sources dynamically. Read the deep dive

How Crosschain Swaps Work: Explains the “one-click” intent layer that manages bridging and gas tokens in the background. Users sign a single intent (e.g., USDC on Eth → ETH on Base), and the protocol handles the rest instantly.


:wrapped_gift: Wrapping Up the Month

November was a packed month for Laita Labs and Velora — marked by breakthrough engineering achievements, strengthened strategic partnerships, and meaningful engagement with our community. We’re deeply grateful for your continued support and for being part of our journey.

As the end of the year is just around the corner, we wish you the best of energy and inspiration to wrap it up successfully! ‘Till next time, velorians…
