100% Boosted Pools: The Future of Liquidity
At the heart of Balancer v3’s innovation is the 100% Boosted Pools, a passive liquidity solution that channels all capital into external yield markets while ensuring liquidity remains available for swaps. Liquidity providers can maximize yield effortlessly, accessing DeFi’s most efficient markets with a single click. The partnership with Aave will lead the rollout of Boosted Pools, with more partners expected to join soon.
“The Aave V3 Boosted Pools allow users to generate maximum returns while accessing both supply and swap functions—seamlessly and with minimized gas costs.”
Stani Kulechov, Founder of Aave Labs

The Hooks Framework: Unlocking Customization for Developers
Balancer v3 introduces the 'Hooks Framework', allowing developers to enhance pool functionality at key lifecycle stages. Developers can implement strategies such as real-time fee adjustments or yield optimizations tailored to market conditions. A new 'StableSurge Hook' also offers protection for stable-asset pegs during volatile periods, rewarding liquidity providers with higher returns.
Balancer v3 has already attracted leading DeFi projects:
Gyroscope: Launching asymmetric concentrated liquidity pools (E-CLPs) for efficient liquidity management.
QuantAMM: Creating Blockchain Traded Funds (BTFs), an innovative on-chain fund product powered by Balancer’s custom pool capabilities.
These partnerships reinforce Balancer’s role as a cornerstone for the next generation of DeFi.
