Euler Finance Reaches New Milestone with $350M TVL, Pushing Ahead with Rapid Growth Across Base and Beyond

Euler Finance, a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform that allows users to do mostly optimized lending, is making very good progress in the DeFi space.

They recently achieved a nice milestone, hitting an all-time high of around $350 million in “total value locked,” or TVL. A significant driver behind the surge in TVL appears to be Euler’s recent and “rapid” expansion onto Base, which is a Layer-2 network from Coinbase.

This extraordinary expansion amplifies Euler’s growing authority in DeFi’s lending and borrowing sector. It still makes deposits and borrowings in its signature vaults. But it has thoughts of becoming a much larger altcoin in the DeFi space, not just on Base but across many blockchains.

Rapid Growth on Base and Record TVL

What makes Euler Finance’s expansion on Base particularly noteworthy is how fast it’s happening. In just one month, the protocol has accumulated more than $50 million in total value locked on Base, an emerging Layer-2 network. This places Euler behind only @0xfluid in terms of TVL on the network. So far, it makes Euler the fastest-growing top-10 lending protocol on Base. This is a clear indicator of the appeal of the Layer-2 platform and the emerging demand for DeFi lending.

Bas, with its Ethereum scaling solution, has given Euler the ideal place to grow. The network’s lower transaction costs and faster speeds make it an appealing option for DeFi protocols like Euler, which are trying to serve up something like efficient financial services. Euler Finance is attracting a nice assortment of assets, including popular cryptocurrencies like USD, BTC, and ETH, which are being put to work in Euler’s vaults for both depositing and borrowing.

Base is just the latest chapter in the ongoing growth story of Euler Finance. The protocol has shown a marvelous ability to innovate and attract liquidity, earning it an exciting reputation as one of the leading DeFi platforms in the lending space.

An ATH of $350 Million and Diversified Vaults

The total value locked (TVL) for Euler Finance has hit an all-time high of $350 million, with much of that figure coming from deposits in the platform’s curated vaults. Those eagerly investing in DeFi seem to have found Euler’s vaults and new borrowing/lending products quite attractive. Euler runs three curated vaults for Ethereum, Bitcoin, and USD, in which it has over $100 million across the three vaults. User deposits in those vaults are driving the TVL up.

Strong demand has also arisen for the specialized vaults of Euler Finance, such as the USD0, USR, and Pendle vaults. These vaults provide unique borrowing and lending opportunities, as they are tailored to more sophisticated financial strategies. This… vault lineup showcases our DeFi lending platform’s ability to cater to different market needs and user preferences, something that’s key to positioning us as a serious player in the DeFi lending space.

The recent surge in TVL can also be attributed to Euler Finance’s robust liquidity incentives and the broader trend of DeFi platform participation, with more users than ever borrowing and lending in these new decentralized financial spaces. And while some DeFi space luminaries argue that we’re in the midst of a bear market for the sector, Euler gains ground. Why? Because, quite simply, it’s a well-run protocol.

What’s Next for Euler Finance?

Even though Euler’s recent achievement has been quite impressive, the platform isn’t done yet. The protocol has plans to deploy on even more chains, including @SonicLabs, and it will update its dashboard accordingly to reflect these new deployments. This expansion strategy, reaching across multiple blockchain ecosystems, will allow it to tap into the growing demand for DeFi lending, and help it reach a broader audience than it already has.

That Euler Finance is already pulling in a hefty amount of total value locked on Base while simultaneously reaching for other blockchains is a clear sign of the platform’s long-term vision. As the DeFi world changes, Euler looks to make the most of fresh chances, whether that’s expanding to new chains or offering its users a broader palette of products and services.

It is vital to clarify that the Dune dashboard showing the TVL for Euler Finance reflects only those chains supported by Dune Analytics. Thus, roughly $12 million in TVL from Swellchain is not yet visible. We will update this in the future, which will make the footprint that Euler is growing in the DeFi space even more pronounced.

Euler’s Impact on DeFi Lending

Euler Finance’s ascent to prominence underscores an evolving decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape. One of the quickest-growing lending protocols on Base, Euler is cleaving out a niche within DeFi lending. Its robust and rapid growth in total value locked (TVL), impressive product diversity, and plans for cross-chain expansion make Euler a likely candidate to become one of DeFi’s major league players.

For individuals participating in the DeFi space, the uninterrupted success of Euler Finance offers an important way to be part of a platform that’s reworking the future of lending and borrowing. Euler is strong on Base, and with its clear and upcoming diversifications to other chains, it serves as an important signpost in the DeFi landscape.
