Barter Alpha #17: The week of DeFi upgrades <> Superposition Beta is live with $1M volume <> Aave now routes all swaps via CoW <> MetaMask launches safety guarantee <> Fusaka is live <> Base adds native Solana bridging

Superposition crosses $1M in routed volume and now open to all in beta Over $1,000,000 in total volume routed through wallets. After a closed phase, the beta is now open to everyone: any user can create a position and start earning fees with no lockups.

@Base opens a bridge to Solana, powered by Chainlink CCIP SPL assets trade natively on Base, and Base assets can move onto Solana, letting apps tap into liquidity across both ecosystems without wrapping gymnastics. Coinbase and Chainlink nodes co-validate every message, giving the bridge a security model heavier than typical cross-chain setups.

Is crypto finally shifting from infrastructure building to real user-level utility?
