Spotlight: GHOsts in Tokyo 🇯🇵

Aave fam will be attending DAO Tokyo on Thursday, hosting a booth at ETHGlobal Tokyo all weekend and offering prizes to teams building on top of GHO during the hackathon. If you are a previous grantee and will be in Tokyo - then please get in touch! We would love to meet up and make sure we can hook you up with exclusive Aave merch 🤫👀

For any builders or GHO enthusiasts, check out the prizes we have up for grabs to the top teams building on top of GHO. Aave Grants DAO will be hosting a workshop, ‘Introduction to GHO: Payments Workshop’, on Friday, April 14th at 7pm to highlight GHO, our bounties and help developers get started building with GHO.

Protocol 📰

Stani shared an update on the status of GHO ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅
Balancer Boosted Pools got a refresh by integrating with Aave v3. Boosted Pools increases efficiency for LPs by enabling them to earn yield on their capital while it is sitting in liquidity pools - now with v3!
