            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*10Oyd5OE05aNVcdSzDlZNA.png" /><figcaption>New Beta Site Landing Page</figcaption></figure><p>June is shaping up to the most important month in Pact’s history.</p><p>Over the past year, we’ve been building toward a vision of what DeFi on Algorand should look like: faster, more efficient, more capital productive, and easier to use and how to solve the liquidity crisis. This month, we’re taking a major step toward that future.</p><p>In this update, we’ll cover:</p><ul><li>New monthly rewards and liquidity incentives</li><li>The launch of Pact’s new Beta platform</li><li>The beginning of closed testing for Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker (CLMM)</li><li>Improvements coming across swaps, pools, farming, analytics, and network security</li></ul><h3>Monthly Rewards Continue</h3><p>A new month means a new round of rewards for Pact liquidity providers.</p><p>June marks the final month of the current emission schedule, with <strong>3,033,333 $POW</strong> being distributed before emissions transition to the new rate of <strong>2,266,666 $POW per month, lowering overall inflation.</strong></p><p>In addition to POW rewards, our Concensus Compatible Liquidity Pools (CCLP) continues distributing approximately <strong>11,000 ALGO</strong> to liquidity providers, helping strengthen liquidity across the ecosystem while rewarding long-term participants.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/422/1*fq4MGV8qDgyWUEFLaxj7Jg.png" /></figure><p>As always, we’re focused on creating sustainable incentives that reward active liquidity providers while supporting the long-term health of the Pact ecosystem.</p><h3>Concentrated Liquidity Is Coming to Algorand</h3><p>Before we talk about the new Beta platform, we need to talk about what may be the most significant DeFi upgrade Algorand has ever seen.</p><p>Pact has officially begun closed testing for Algorand’s first true <strong>Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker (CLMM).</strong></p><p>For years, Algorand’s biggest DeFi challenge hasn’t been technology, speed, or security — it has been liquidity depth &amp; efficiency.</p><p>Traditional constant-product AMMs spread liquidity across the entire price curve, meaning most liquidity sits unused most of the time. Concentrated liquidity changes that entirely.</p><p>With CLMMs, liquidity providers can choose specific price ranges where their capital is active. Instead of liquidity being spread infinitely across all possible prices, it can be concentrated exactly where trading activity occurs.</p><p>The result is dramatically deeper liquidity using the same amount of capital.</p><p>For example, a liquidity position with a 50% price range can provide roughly <strong>4.5x more liquidity depth</strong> than a traditional constant-product pool using the same capital.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/793/1*h0OYeAdy1PZjoMXQ8IljMQ.png" /></figure><p>This creates benefits for everyone:</p><h3>Traders</h3><ul><li>Lower slippage</li><li>Better execution prices</li><li>Deeper liquidity</li></ul><h3>Liquidity Providers</h3><ul><li>Higher capital efficiency</li><li>Potentially higher fee generation</li><li>Greater control over positions</li></ul><h3>Algorand DeFi</h3><ul><li>More competitive liquidity markets</li><li>Better trading experiences</li><li>Increased attractiveness for new projects and users</li></ul><p>The closed testnet phase will continue over the coming months as we refine the experience and stress-test the infrastructure. Once launched, CLMMs will represent a fundamental leap forward for Algorand DeFi and position Pact at the forefront of the ecosystem.</p><p>Sneak Peak:</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/628/1*XvoKDQ0RFtmbmJmTIgkRWQ.png" /></figure><h3>Introducing the New Pact Beta</h3><p>The wait is finally over.</p><p>Pact has officially launched closed testing for its completely redesigned Beta platform.</p><p>This isn’t simply an interface update. It’s a complete rebuild of the Pact experience from the ground up.</p><p>The upcoming platform represents the future home of trading, liquidity provision, farming, and analytics on Algorand.</p><p>Public beta access is planned for later this month, but today we’re excited to begin gathering feedback from our first group of testers.</p><h3>A New Look for a New Era</h3><p>The new Pact introduces an entirely refreshed visual identity.</p><p>Featuring a sharp electric-blue design language, modernized branding, and a cleaner user experience, the platform is faster, more polished, and more professional throughout.</p><p>Beyond aesthetics, significant work has gone into performance improvements to ensure a smoother experience across desktop and mobile devices.</p><p>Many of the pain points users experienced in the current application have been addressed, creating a faster and more responsive experience from the moment you connect your wallet.</p><h3>Smart Routing for the Best Possible Price</h3><p>One of the most impactful upgrades is our new swap routing engine, in partnership with Haystack.</p><p>The new router is designed to find users the best available execution price across the ecosystem — even when that means routing through external liquidity sources.</p><p>Our goal is simple:</p><p><strong>Give users the best trade possible, regardless of where the liquidity exists.</strong></p><p>This approach creates a superior trading experience while helping establish Pact as the default trading destination on Algorand. Why trade anywhere else?</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/791/1*MbsZun0wgJiTEdLcyBHvOA.png" /></figure><h3>Powerful New Liquidity Management</h3><p>Managing liquidity positions is becoming significantly more intuitive.</p><p>The new liquidity interface provides:</p><ul><li>Enhanced position tracking</li><li>Historical performance data</li><li>Advanced analytics</li><li>Improved management tools</li><li>Clearer insights into pool activity</li></ul><p>Whether you’re a passive liquidity provider or an advanced DeFi participant, you’ll have the information needed to make smarter decisions.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*Qp-sSoR8A3heMY20ZNf_Ew.png" /></figure><h3>Permissionless Farming Arrives</h3><p>One of the most exciting additions is the evolution of Pact Farms.</p><p>The new farming system provides deeper analytics, improved management tools, and a significantly expanded feature set.</p><p>Most importantly:</p><p><strong>Anyone will be able to create incentive programs.</strong></p><p>Projects, communities, DAOs, and ecosystem participants will be able to launch farms for any supported token, creating entirely new opportunities for ecosystem growth.</p><p>This creates:</p><ul><li>New liquidity incentives</li><li>Additional revenue opportunities for Pact</li><li>More utility across the ecosystem</li><li>A stronger flywheel for the POW token</li></ul><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*4T22lNkdAkCMF38cn8BlJw.png" /></figure><p>As more projects launch farming campaigns, demand for liquidity and platform activity can grow alongside the broader Algorand ecosystem.</p><h3>Analytics Reimagined</h3><p>Data is one of the most important tools in DeFi.</p><p>The new analytics suite will allow users to:</p><ul><li>Explore token activity</li><li>Monitor on-chain trends</li><li>Analyze liquidity movements</li><li>Track market behavior</li><li>Discover emerging opportunities</li><li>A Dashboard feature to track all of your positions and wallet activity in DeFi</li></ul><p>Whether you’re researching a token, evaluating liquidity positions, or searching for the next breakout project, Pact Analytics will provide the tools needed to make informed decisions. It should be noted some of these analytics features will roll out over the month.</p><p>Sneak Peak:</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*o2m10OMlKgNWxhNG1ZNj8w.png" /></figure><h3>A More Efficient CCLP</h3><p>We’re also introducing a major upgrade to the Community-Curated Liquidity Program.</p><p>The new CCLP structure significantly improves capital efficiency while simplifying participation.</p><p>Rather than requiring a fixed threshold of liquidity to become active, the updated model is designed to bring every available ALGO online, maximizing productive capital across the network.</p><p>The result is a more efficient mechanism for:</p><ul><li>Securing liquidity</li><li>Generating yield</li><li>Supporting ecosystem growth</li><li>Increasing participation</li></ul><p>This creates stronger alignment between liquidity providers, traders, and the broader Algorand ecosystem.</p><h3>The Road Ahead</h3><p>June represents far more than a collection of feature releases.</p><p>It marks the beginning of Pact’s next chapter.</p><p>With Concentrated Liquidity, a completely rebuilt trading experience, permissionless farming, upgraded analytics, smarter routing, and a more efficient liquidity framework, we’re building the infrastructure needed to support the next generation of Algorand DeFi. There are also other things that we can not mention just yet to help make DeFi great again.</p><p>The Beta launch is only the beginning.</p><p>Stay tuned as we continue expanding testing, gathering feedback, and preparing for public release.</p><p>The future of liquidity on Algorand starts here.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=cfd9c17043ac" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

From a preview of our governance platform to the upcoming clMM testnet, there is a lot in store for the month of May.</p><h3>Farming Emissions</h3><p>This month, we will once again see emissions of <strong>3,033,333 $POW</strong> and <strong>10,400 $ALGO worth of CCLP</strong> distributed across the following pools:</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/795/1*_VkzinmLNeBxtOL-3ury5w.png" /></figure><h3>Concentrated Liquidity (clMM) + New Website Closed Testnet</h3><p>Toward the end of this month, we plan to launch a closed testnet for our concentrated liquidity (clMM) platform alongside the new website. This phase will be limited to developers and long-term supporters and will run for approximately two weeks. During this time, we will gather feedback and make initial improvements.</p><p>Following this phase, we will open the testnet to the public. This will mark the beginning of the audit and bug bounty process, as well as further UI/UX refinements based on broader user feedback.</p><h3>Governance Platform Sneak Peek</h3><p>While the governance platform is still scheduled to launch after the clMM testnet, development is progressing in parallel. Pact recently released a teaser showcasing early features of the platform. We encourage you to review it closely, as it highlights several unique elements designed to differentiate our governance system and maximize utility for users.</p><p>You can watch the teaser here:<br><a href="https://x.com/pact_fi/status/2044823069437600079?s=46">https://x.com/pact_fi/status/2044823069437600079?s=46</a></p><h3>xGov Proposal</h3><p>We have resubmitted our OS farming contracts for an xGov grant. Although the previous submission received strong majority approval, it did not meet the required voter turnout threshold.</p><p>If you are an xGov participant, or know someone who is, you can support the proposal by voting here:<br><a href="https://xgov.algorand.co/proposal/3512018326">https://xgov.algorand.co/proposal/3512018326</a></p><p>Want to <strong>join our community</strong> and have a chance to win our next contest or get the Alpha before it drops?

From farm emissions and protocol rewards to major infrastructure upgrades and ecosystem engagement, here’s everything you need to know.</p><h3>Farm Rewards Update</h3><p>As part of our current standard emissions schedule:</p><ul><li><strong>3,033,333 $POW</strong> will be distributed among the top fee-generating liquidity providers on Pact.</li><li>~<strong>9,700 ALGO</strong> worth of LP rewards will be emitted to CCLP participants, further strengthening long-term liquidity alignment.</li></ul><p>Pact has now distributed <strong>over 100,000 ALGO</strong> in rewards to our users through the CCLP program — a major milestone that reflects our continued commitment to sustainable liquidity incentives and long-term ecosystem growth within the Algorand ecosystem.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/503/1*n5hHZSiqzPVZ48N_fHrW7w.png" /></figure><p>Our emissions framework continues to reward productive liquidity and align incentives between traders, LPs, and the protocol. However, we are hoping to bring a revamped insight to the way we handle this which does hand in hand with our governance platform.r</p><h3>Beta Site Update</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*O89hczSr1dR6aGmOR_T0yw.png" /><figcaption>*Data values are input for effect and not reflective actual values</figcaption></figure><p>While the beta is slightly behind schedule, development is progressing well and public testing should begin very soon.</p><p>The initial rollout will introduce:</p><ul><li>A significantly smoother and faster user experience</li><li>More straightforward and accurate analytics</li><li>Visibility into fee accumulations directly within LP positions</li><li>A new v3 smart router powered by Deflex, designed to provide the best trade execution possible — even if routing through competitors</li><li>Integrated charting tools</li><li>More flexible farming configurations</li></ul><p>This beta release also establishes the core infrastructure required to deploy our upcoming CLMM to testnet.</p><p>This is more than a visual refresh — it is a foundational upgrade to the Pact platform.</p><h3>CLMM</h3><p>As mentioned, the backend and infrastructure for our Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker (CLMM) are nearing completion.</p><p>Our primary focus now is delivering a strong UI/UX experience that allows for an intuitive and highly customizable interface. The goal is to give users the tools to tailor liquidity and trading strategies with precision and flexibility.</p><p>Further updates will be shared across our social channels as we move closer to testnet deployment.</p><h3>xGovs Open Source Farms</h3><p>As part of our ongoing commitment to open sourcing Pact programs, we have recently open sourced our Farms repository.</p><p>We greatly appreciate the community’s continued support. Ecosystem grants are important for covering operational costs and enabling us to continue building new products that the entire community can use and benefit from.</p><p>Proposal: <a href="https://xgov.algorand.co/proposal/3463780783">https://xgov.algorand.co/proposal/3463780783</a><br> Github: <a href="https://github.com/pactfi/Farms">https://github.com/pactfi/Farms</a></p><h3>ETH Denver Update</h3><p>I recently attended ETHDenver to connect with venture capital firms, explore networking opportunities, and discuss the future of DeFi and crypto.</p><p>It was a highly productive week.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Pact February Update: Beta Testing, Farming Emissions, xGovs, Token Update &amp; More.</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/875/0*Pdut9abwqIddTn1e.png" /></figure><h3>Pact Protocol — February Update</h3><p>As we enter a new month, we’re excited to share key updates across farming emissions, protocol development, and treasury strategy. February marks a continued step forward for Pact as we continue building through both market volatility and rapid product progress.</p><h3>🌾 February Farming Emissions Are Live</h3><p>With the start of February, a new cycle of farming emissions has officially begun.</p><p>As part of our current standard emissions schedule:</p><ul><li><strong>3,033,333 $POW</strong> will be distributed among the <strong>top fee-generating liquidity providers</strong> on Pact</li><li><strong>~10,700 ALGO</strong> worth of LP rewards will be emitted to <strong>CCLP participants</strong>, further strengthening long-term liquidity alignment</li></ul><p>These emissions continue to reinforce Pact’s core design philosophy: rewarding real usage, sustainable liquidity, and active participation in the protocol.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/528/1*6ZwEnaSYLR7TwYBuYRaO2w.png" /></figure><h3>⚠️ Important $POW Update — CompX Incident</h3><p>As many in the community are aware, <strong>CompX</strong>, a lending platform we are partnered with, recently experienced a security incident in which user funds were compromised.</p><p>To be absolutely clear:</p><ul><li><strong>Pact Protocol and its smart contracts were NOT affected</strong></li><li><strong>There is no security risk to Pact or the $POW token</strong></li></ul><p>However, CompX maintained a $POW lending contract, which was exploited during the incident. The attacker was able to steal and subsequently sell a large amount of $POW on the open market. This resulted in significant short-term selling pressure, impacting both price and liquidity.</p><p>While this situation is unfortunate, it is important to separate <strong>external platform risk</strong> from <strong>Pact’s protocol integrity</strong>. For some, this period may also represent an opportunity to participate in $POW at a discounted entry point — though all users should, as always, make decisions aligned with their own risk tolerance and understand this is not Financial Advice nor endorsement.</p><h3>🧪 Beta Testing Progress &amp; ETH Denver</h3><p>Beta testing continues to move forward at a strong pace, and we are making excellent progress as we prepare for <strong>public testing</strong>.</p><p>Later this month, <strong>CEO Andrew Kotulak</strong> will be attending <strong>ETH Denver</strong>, where he plans to:</p><ul><li>Showcase the <strong>new Pact beta site</strong></li><li>Engage with new potential users, partners, and investors</li><li>Share Pact’s long-term vision for DeFi on Algorand &amp; abroad</li></ul><p>The upcoming beta launch is a major milestone. It positions Pact to execute on its ambitious roadmap and establishes the foundational infrastructure required for our <strong>Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker (CLMM)</strong>. We’re excited to share more details on CLMM development as milestones are reached.</p><h3>🗳️ CCLP xGov Proposal — Passed!</h3><p>We’d like to extend a <strong>huge thank you</strong> to our community and the xGov participants for approving the <strong>CCLP Open-Source Grant Proposal</strong>.</p><p>Through this proposal, Pact has received <strong>150,000 ALGO</strong>, which meaningfully strengthens our operational runway and allows us to continue executing at full speed on Algorand. The support and trust shown by the community cannot be overstated — it directly enables continued innovation and delivery.</p><h3>💰 Pact Treasury &amp; Buyback Update</h3><p>Over recent months, Pact temporarily suspended $POW buybacks due to negative operating margins. However, with improving revenue outlook and increased confidence in our 2026 roadmap, we plan to <strong>resume buybacks toward the end of this month</strong>. We also plan to provide an update on how the $POW token will play into our positive operating margins in the future — Stay tuned!</p><p>Given the recent market dislocation caused by the CompX incident, we believe this period presents a compelling opportunity to:</p><ul><li>Strengthen the <strong>Pact treasury</strong></li><li>Accumulate $POW at favorable levels</li></ul><p>It should be reminded that the community will later decide how these treasury assets are utilized (distribution, burns, incentives, etc.)</p><p>Transparency and community participation remain central to how Pact manages protocol-owned assets.</p><h3>🔮 Looking Ahead</h3><p>The broader crypto market has faced continued sustained pressure, and we recognize that price action can weigh heavily on sentiment. That said, <strong>our mission has never been clearer, nor our determination stronger</strong>.</p><p>We believe <strong>2026 will be Pact’s strongest year yet</strong> — one that drives meaningful growth across Algorand and the broader crypto ecosystem. With our newly outlined 2026 roadmap, we aim to deliver innovation, expansion, and a few surprises in areas many may not expect.</p><p>If you’re attending <strong>ETH Denver</strong>, be sure to find Andrew and say hello.<br> We wish everyone a strong and prosperous February — and as always, thank you for building with us.</p><p>— <strong>The Pact Team</strong></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=0512020aaff6" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Pact January Update: Looking Ahead to 2026 — <strong>New Website, CLMM, Fee Restructuring, Governance &amp; More</strong></h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/875/0*9vb9Lfrxk-z9rPfl.png" /></figure><p>As we begin 2026, we want to sincerely thank our community for an incredible 2025. The past year was one of rebuilding, learning, and laying foundations — and we are excited not only to continue that progress, but to <strong>accelerate it</strong>.</p><p>This January update will be a bit longer than usual, as we take a broader look at what’s coming in 2026 and how Pact is evolving to help reshape DeFi on Algorand.</p><h3>January Farm Emissions</h3><p>To start the year, below are January’s monthly farm emissions.</p><ul><li>Approximately <strong>10,700 ALGO worth of LP incentives</strong> will be distributed to CCLPs</li><li><strong>3,033,333 $POW</strong> will be distributed proportionally across eligible pools</li></ul><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/556/0*Vik2M_BWD1gu2hob.png" /></figure><h3>XGov Proposal for CCLPs</h3><p>We have recently open sourced our CCLPs to give the technology to anyone who wants to use it! With this, we have just gone to the voting stage to receive an XGov grant for this product. We greatly appreciate you voting in favor of this proposal as the funding goes a very long way for us.</p><p>You can learn more about the proposal here: <a href="https://xgov.algorand.co/proposal/3368513873">https://xgov.algorand.co/proposal/3368513873</a></p><h3>Beta Website — Open for Testing in January</h3><p>We’re excited to share that our <strong>new Pact website</strong> will enter beta testing this January with a select group of users. This update shifted to the top of our priority list.</p><p>This update represents a full UI/UX overhaul, designed to deliver a faster, cleaner, and more intuitive experience. It also unlocks the ability to roll out a number of long-planned features, including but not limited to:</p><ul><li>A more robust analytics suite</li><li>Expanded pool types</li><li>New farm structures</li><li>Aggregated trades across ALL dexes to ensure our users get the best price — even if it means routing through our competitors</li></ul><p>Prioritizing this upgrade was critical — not only to improve the user experience, but also to reduce long-term maintenance costs and enable future product launches. The beta launch is just the beginning, and the website will continue to evolve throughout 2026 and beyond as we build upon the new foundation.</p><h3>CCLP Updates</h3><p>With the launch of the <strong>new website</strong>, we are making a significant update to how <strong>Consensus-Compatible Liquidity Pools (CCLPs)</strong> function.</p><p>CCLPs currently require a minimum of 30,000 ALGO paired with 30,000 ALGO worth of an ASA. When the new site launches:</p><ul><li><strong>All ALGO LPs will be able to go live with a much lower minimum requirement</strong></li><li>This will enable more pools, attract more ALGO liquidity, and increase yield opportunities &amp; as well as network security</li><li>It will also further strengthen the $POW flywheel</li></ul><p>Exact criteria will be released alongside the new site. Importantly, this update will <strong>not impact existing CCLPs on the current website</strong>. We will provide clear guidance on how we plan to transition from the old site to the new once it is production-ready.</p><h3>New Farm Structures</h3><p>We’ve teased this for some time, and we’re excited to finally bring it to life.</p><p>Pact will be introducing <strong>new farm structures</strong> that allow:</p><ul><li>Users to create their own farms</li><li>Support for a wider range of assets beyond LP tokens</li><li>More advanced emission logic</li></ul><p>One thing we are exploring is <strong>targeted APR emissions</strong> rather than just flat distributions — allowing incentives to better match specific goals and giving our users more flexibility with their options.</p><p>These upgrades will open the door to more creative incentive programs, increase protocol revenue, and further reinforce the $POW ecosystem.</p><h3>Governance</h3><p>We want to again directly acknowledge the delays around governance and the lack of clear guidance over the past months.</p><p>Several factors contributed to this — including a management transition in November and a necessary shift in priorities toward revenue-generating initiatives to secure operational runway. While these realities provide context, they do not excuse the delays.</p><p>We truly appreciate the patience our community has shown.</p><p>That said, we are confident the wait will be worth it. Our revised approach will result in a <strong>stronger platform, a more resilient token model, and a governance system that introduces functionality not seen in most Governance Platforms.</strong></p><p>As soon as we have more updates we will share them with you. We’re excited to get everyone involved ASAP.</p><h3>Concentrated Liquidity (CLMM)</h3><p>We’re happy to officially announce that Pact has begun work on bringing a <strong>proper Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker (CLMM)</strong> to Algorand.</p><p>CLMMs enable:</p><ul><li>Deeper liquidity</li><li>Better capital efficiency</li><li>Stronger returns for liquidity providers</li></ul><p>This is a major step forward for Algorand DeFi, and we plan to allocate significant resources to bringing this to market. Beyond improving the ecosystem, CLMMs are a key part of our long-term sustainability and revenue strategy.</p><p>A deeper technical article on our CLMM will be published as we make more noise and provide details in the future. This, alongside governance is our 2nd priority post the new website launch.</p><h3>Fee Restructuring</h3><p>A recurring theme in this update is <strong>sustainability &amp; revenues</strong>.</p><p>Algorand’s DeFi ecosystem remains relatively small, and ensuring long-term development and growth requires a stronger focus on revenue. As a result, we are implementing changes both through new products and through a restructuring of existing protocol fees.</p><h3>Current Website Fee Update</h3><p>These changes will go live on <strong>January 7, 2026</strong>.</p><p><strong>Current Fees</strong></p><ul><li><strong>1% Exotic Pools</strong></li><li>0.10% to protocol — 0.90% to liquidity providers</li><li>Platform share: 10%</li><li><strong>0.3% Standard Pools</strong></li><li>0.05% to protocol — 0.25% to liquidity providers</li><li>Platform share: 16.67%</li></ul><p><strong>New Fees</strong></p><ul><li><strong>1% Exotic Pools</strong></li><li>0.15% to protocol — 0.85% to liquidity providers</li><li>Platform share: 15%</li><li><strong>0.3% Standard Pools</strong></li><li>0.07% to protocol — 0.23% to liquidity providers</li><li>Platform share: 23.33%</li></ul><p>Due to existing contract limitations, only partial adjustments are possible on the current site.</p><h3>New Website Fee Model</h3><p>With the new website, standard pools will align with Tinyman and Algorand market norms:</p><ul><li><strong>0.36% total fee</strong></li><li>0.09% to protocol — 0.27% to liquidity providers</li><li>Platform share: 25%</li></ul><p>Additional guidance around variable fee pools &amp; stablepools will be released alongside the new site.</p><h3>Looking Ahead</h3><p>This update is meant to provide a broad overview of what’s coming. As we move closer to launches, we’ll publish deeper dives into each major change.</p><p>We’re incredibly excited for what lies ahead.<br> <strong>2026 is our year — and we can’t wait to build it together.</strong></p><p>— The Pact Team</p><p>Want to <strong>join our community</strong> and have a chance to win our next contest or get the Alpha before it drops?

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/875/0*slk15rGulTeCSMQQ.png" /></figure><p>As we close out 2025, Pact is pushing forward across rewards distribution, contract transparency, governance, and cross-chain positioning. Below is a full overview of what has been completed this month and what is coming next.</p><h3>December Rewards Allocation</h3><p>December rewards include a distribution of:</p><ul><li><strong>3,033,333 $POW</strong> in liquidity-mining rewards</li><li><strong>37,454 CCLP LP tokens</strong> (approximately <strong>11,000 ALGO</strong> in value)</li></ul><p>These allocations continue to support the core CCLP pools and incentivize sustainable liquidity throughout the Pact ecosystem.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/450/1*JxaF0oglSZSOrWwRThdYyw.png" /></figure><h3>Open-Sourcing CCLP Contracts</h3><p>This month we are open-sourcing our CCLP smart contracts.</p><p>This initiative serves two primary purposes:</p><ol><li><strong>Ecosystem Utility:</strong><br>By making the contracts publicly accessible, other Algorand projects can adopt and build upon the CCLP design, promoting standardization of upgraded liquidity primitives across the ecosystem.</li><li><strong>xGov Proposal Preparation:</strong><br>Open-sourcing is a key component of our December xGov proposal, reinforcing Pact’s commitment to transparency, public accessibility, and long-term sustainability.</li></ol><p>A repository link will be available soon.</p><h3>Beta Site and Governance Update</h3><p>Progress on the <strong>Beta platform</strong> and <strong>new Governance module</strong> has continued with the addition of our new developer and CTO.</p><p>Following the leadership transition in our technical team, governance required a full rebuild from scratch, which created a significant setback. Despite this, we are now seeing strong progress and are working to bring both the Beta site and Governance system live as soon as possible.</p><p>These updates, combined with new pool primitives and a refreshed user experience, will meaningfully improve the Pact platform and we believe the wait will be worthwhile for users and liquidity providers. We apologize about the long wait.</p><h3>Business Positioning and Market Conditions</h3><p>Market conditions throughout 2025 have created considerable pressure on both Pact’s business and on $POW. In response, we have developed and begun implementing internal strategies aimed at increasing base revenues by (hopefully) meaningful multiples. Improving core revenue will support operations, continued development, and ultimately strengthen the long-term value and stability of $POW. In the current environment our CEO is actually paying out of pocket to keep the business up and running. While not ideal, it shows Andrew’s commitment to Pact and his strong conviction in its potential.</p><p>We remain committed to transparency with our community and stakeholders. We hope to see a growing emphasis from the Algorand Foundation on deeper collaboration and ecosystem alignment as DeFi on Algorand continues to evolve.</p><p>At the same time, we are actively in discussions with other chains that have more robust ecosystems, exploring additional opportunities to strengthen Pact’s positioning and expand the reach of our products. We want to keep our main focus on Algorand but as a business we are considering our options for the best success of our business and $POW.</p><p>Want to <strong>join our community</strong> and have a chance to win our next contest or get the Alpha before it drops?

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*dExHoiTZmbBEPBFudtMV2g.png" /></figure><p>As Pact continues to evolve, our priority remains delivering a faster, safer, and more capital-efficient trading experience across Algorand. In January 2025 we introduced <strong>Consensus-Compatible Liquidity Pools (CCLPs)</strong> — a new standard for performance, governance alignment, and to maximize yield. Throughout 2025, CCLPs became the dominant liquidity format across the protocol.</p><p>Today, we are announcing the formal <strong>decommissioning of all deprecated ALGO pools</strong>, as well as outlining how we will manage the upcoming migration to our new beta platform once it is released.</p><h3>Why We’re Deprecating Old ALGO Pools</h3><p>CCLPs now represent the vast majority of liquidity and trading volume on Pact. They offer:</p><ul><li>More efficient routing</li><li>Improved price execution</li><li>Better fee dynamics</li><li>Stronger integration into the Pact governance framework</li></ul><p>Older ALGO/ASA pools — built on earlier contract versions — no longer reflect the capabilities or security expectations of the modern Pact protocol. Maintaining them indefinitely introduces unnecessary technical overhead and creates a fragmented liquidity environment.</p><p>To ensure users get the best possible experience, these pools are now officially <strong>deprecated as of November 27, 2025</strong>.</p><h3>Where to Find Deprecated Pools</h3><p>All deprecated pools are visible directly in the app:<br> 👉 <a href="https://app.pact.fi/pools?is_deprecated=true&amp;page=1#table">https://app.pact.fi/pools?is_deprecated=true&amp;page=1#table</a></p><p>On this page you’ll see a <strong>“Deprecated”</strong> status for each affected pool. These pools remain functional for now, but they will be progressively phased out according to the timeline and policies outlined below.</p><h3>Fee Adjustments on Deprecated Pools</h3><p>To encourage the transition to modern liquidity contracts, <strong>all ALGO/ASA pools marked as deprecated will see protocol fees increase to 50% of total fee intake. (Eg: old ALGO/USDC pool will go from 5BPS to protocol and 25BPS to LP, to 15BPS to each party).</strong></p><p>This does <em>not</em> currently impact CCLP pools or any non ALGO sided LPs.</p><p>Higher protocol fees on deprecated pools reflect their legacy status and help nudge liquidity into the improved CCLP architecture, where users benefit from better execution and long-term protocol alignment.</p><h3>Preparing for the New Pact Site</h3><p>With our upgraded beta platform approaching release, this is also an opportunity to standardize how pool transitions will work moving forward.</p><p>Here’s what users can expect:</p><h3>1. Pact reserves the right to adjust protocol fees on any deprecated pool.</h3><p>This ensures users migrate to the most secure and efficient contracts, rather than remaining stuck in outdated liquidity structures.</p><h3>2. Users will always receive a full 90-day migration window.</h3><p>From the <em>date the pool is marked deprecated</em>, users will have <strong>90 days</strong> to withdraw or migrate liquidity to the updated pool.</p><p>This policy will apply consistently across all deprecations during this update cycle.</p><h3>3. We will clearly communicate when the 90-day countdown begins for the new site’s migration.</h3><p>After the new platform is released, we’ll make an official announcement starting the 90-day clock. This ensures:</p><ul><li>Clear expectations</li><li>Ample time to migrate</li><li>No surprises for LPs</li></ul><p>This is the same approach we used during the rollout of CCLP pools — transparent, predictable, and user-first.</p><h3>What You Should Do Now</h3><p>If you are providing liquidity in any pool marked <strong>Deprecated</strong>, we recommend:</p><ol><li>Visiting the deprecated pool list</li><li>Migrating your liquidity to the new, CCLP version.</li></ol><p>This helps you capture better returns while staying aligned with Pact’s latest protocol standards.</p><p>By unifying liquidity into modern CCLPs and preparing for the upgraded beta platform, Pact is laying the foundation for its next era of growth.</p><p>As always, we appreciate our community’s support and diligence throughout these transitions. More updates are coming soon — stay tuned.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=00c7cb0a20b4" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

We’ll provide more context on this change below.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/756/1*3cqMfn05O8Hnzoa5OFYzKA.png" /></figure><h3>New Lead Developer &amp; Pact’s Split from Humble and Voi</h3><p>We’re announcing a major change in leadership. Pact has officially <strong>split ties with Nick</strong>, our previous CTO of Pact and Humble, and has <strong>promoted Einn</strong> — our recently hired developer — to lead Pact’s development efforts.</p><p>Einn has already shown exceptional skill and motivation, and his full-time focus will help drive Pact’s next phase of growth. His immediate priorities include:</p><ul><li>Completing a <strong>full UI/UX overhaul</strong> of the Pact platform for faster load times, more intuitive interface, better analytics, and a <strong>new AMM pool type</strong>!</li><li>Delivering the long-awaited <strong>governance platform</strong> as a top priority.</li></ul><p>With this transition, the <strong>Pact and $POW ecosystem will fully separate from Humble and Voi</strong>. While Humble may continue under Nick in a still-to-be-finalized arrangement, it will be a <strong>distinct operation not under Pact’s direction or endorsement</strong>.</p><p>We want to emphasize that this decision was <strong>not due to issues with Voi</strong>, and we continue to wish the <strong>Voi ecosystem</strong> success as they pursue their own mission.</p><h3>UI/UX Overhaul &amp; Final Stretch Toward Governance</h3><p>Under Einn’s leadership, development has accelerated significantly. We’d like to apologize again for recent timeline shifts around governance —something that personally out my hands but am responsible for my annoucements none the less.</p><p>Over the coming weeks, look for our beta test site with several key items for the next phase of pact and the final prep for the gov launch. The first of which will involve a new AMM pool type/primitive, additional details coming soon. We will also be accepting feedback in a newly opened Discord channel, and will look at ways to incentivize early participation.</p><p>We’re incredibly grateful for the community’s patience and ongoing support as we push Pact into this new era.</p><h3>$POW Treasury Metrics</h3><p>Despite continued downward pressure on Algorand markets, <strong>$POW liquidity remains strong</strong>, sitting just off its highs with approximately <strong>$200K TVL</strong>.</p><p>The <strong>community treasury</strong> remains healthy as well, with an estimated <strong>225,000 ALGO in total value</strong>. These reserves continue to support development, rewards, and long-term ecosystem growth.</p><h3>The Path Ahead</h3><p>Pact is entering a new phase — leaner, faster, and more community-driven than ever.</p><p>Stay tuned for more updates as we prepare for the <strong>governance rollout, new AMM primitives</strong>, and the <strong>next generation of Pact.Fi</strong>.</p><p>Want to <strong>join our community</strong> and have a chance to win our next contest or get the Alpha before it drops?

Algorand needs an easy to use, modifiable and trusted Concentrated Liquidity platform. Pact would make the perfect home for this and would greatly lift both the dApp, as well as Algorand. It would greatly increase the utility and attractiveness of $POW and allow for its growth to continue.</p><p>We are looking at gathering funds to tackle the costs of developing, auditing, and legal reviews - which we estimate will be around $150,000. So we are exploring a couple options of going to our users and community for help of which we will describe below.</p><p>First, I want to explain why I think its important for Algorand to have this product.</p><h3>What is Concentrated Liquidity (CLMM?)</h3><p>A <strong>Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker</strong> is an evolution of the traditional <strong>x*y=k</strong> AMM model (which things like Pact or Tinyman currently are).<br>Instead of liquidity being evenly spread across <em>all</em> price ranges, a CLMM allows LPs (liquidity providers) to <strong>allocate their liquidity into specific price bands</strong> — e.g. between $0.95 and $1.05 for a stable pair, or say $1–$2 for an ALGO/USD pair.</p><p>This brings huge value to DeFi and liquidity.</p><h4>1. Capital Efficiency</h4><p>In Algroands current state of AMMs, $1M of liquidity is spread across the full 0–∞ range. In a CLMM, you can deploy that same $1M but utilize the active price band — meaning your liquidity can behave a <strong>10x, or $10M+</strong> in effective depth aswell as attracting a large multiple of fees. This would greatly help Algorands DeFi liquidity issue.</p><h4>3. Low Slipppage for Traders</h4><p>Because liquidity is concentrated around the current price, trades encounter <strong>deeper liquidity per tick</strong>, reducing price impact.</p><h4>3. Dynamic Liquidity Management</h4><p>LPs can reposition or automate their ranges based on:</p><ul><li>Volatility</li><li>Market direction</li><li>Arbitrage opportunities</li></ul><h4>4. Higher Fee Income</h4><p>Since trades cluster near the active range, the liquidity there earns the majority of fees. Simply put, If you provide liquidity near the market price, you earn more.</p><h4>5. Customizable Risk Profiles</h4><p>LPs can customize their strategy:</p><ul><li><strong>Wide range</strong> — safer, lower yield</li><li><strong>Tight range</strong> — riskier, higher yield (potentially IL if price moves out of range)</li></ul><p>It introduces a <strong>spectrum between passive and active LPing</strong>.</p><h3>How we can get there</h3><p>While VCs have been looked at, its a bit difficult to raise on Algorand at the moment (a sentiment we hope to change with the launch of this product.) So we are looking at two potential ways to gather funds to execute on this plan. All of these POW funds would come from our allocated Investeors Bucket of tokens.</p><p><strong>1.) POW Staking Pool (Dynamic Yield Pool) Concept: </strong>We participate in a bench sale on Myth finance<strong> </strong>a staking asset known as bPOW. This will represent their share of an exclusive fixed emission schedule of $POW tokens. Upon completion of the tranche, emissions are then distributed via a Farm over 12 months. This will come with a boosted APR of X% (exact % still being analyzed to ensure competitve to governance or LPing).</p><p>2.) <strong>NFT “Bonds” + Governance Perks Concept:</strong> A generative collection of NFTs that will emit $POW tokens daily and directly to your wallet for 12 months, as well hold long-term governance perks such as a held 15% voting power based on the total POW emission that will apply indefinetely. There would also be additional perks added to these NFTs overtime.</p><p>ex: NFT emitted 1000 POW, the NFT could be staked in governance for 150 POW gov power, both while its still emitting and after the emission period ends.</p><p>We are open to others ideas, and greatly appreciate your feedback and ask that you go back to our original twitter post, or join us on telegram &amp; discord to give us your thoughts!</p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.pact.fi/">https://www.pact.fi/</a></p><p>Telegram: <a href="https://t.me/pactfi">https://t.me/pactfi</a></p><p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/pact_fi">https://twitter.com/pact_fi</a></p><p>Discord: <a href="https://discord.gg/5vyzGHh4ez">https://discord.gg/5vyzGHh4ez</a></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=4a5b1a9aef97" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
