Zora continues its explosive run, hitting an all-time high of $0.14 on Aug. 11 a 44.31% jump with market cap now over $436M. That’s more than 160% above this month’s low and about 1,600% higher than its July bottom, cementing its place among this quarter’s strongest performers.
Meanwhile, Dolomite is quietly building a case for long-term relevance. As a modular money market with integrated DEX functionality, it allows users to borrow without losing staking rewards or governance rights, while managing multiple isolated positions for precision strategies. Currently trading at $0.2712 on BingX with a $998.85M market cap, Dolomite blends lending, trading, and governance into one platform a model designed for experienced DeFi users who value capital efficiency without sacrificing participation.
LayerZero has made a $110M bid to acquire all $STG at $0.1675, aiming to dissolve Stargate DAO, move governance under its control, and direct revenue into $ZRO buybacks. If approved by the community (requiring 70% support), this could reshape governance models for cross-chain protocols. Which of these moves do you think will have the biggest impact on the DeFi landscape in Q3?
