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
