Aave is planning to sunset its deployments on zkSync, Metis, and Soneium, setting a $2 million revenue threshold for new chains.
BlockBeats News, December 3rd, the Aave DAO passed a temperature check vote to adjust the V3 multi-chain deployment strategy, planning to shut down instances deployed on zkSync, Metis, and Sony Soneium, and set a clear $2 million annual revenue floor for new deployments. Aave is currently operational on at least 18 blockchains, including numerous Ethereum Layer 2 networks, as well as other Layer 1 networks like Aptos and Sonic. Now, Aave DAO's primary delegation platform ACI seems to be looking to roll back some expansion plans and impose stricter requirements for future deployments. As part of its proposal, ACI also suggests setting a $2 million annual revenue floor for future deployments and introducing a stablecoin "reserv factor" for other smaller revenue generators.
According to forum discussions, ACI's Growth Service Provider (Growth SP) has proposed rolling back Aave instances on zkSync, Metis, and Sony Soneium networks as these instances have been deemed "proven to be misaligned with market demand." The total value locked on these three chains is the lowest compared to other Aave deployments, accounting for only a small fraction of Aave's total revenue. Metis, co-founded by Vitalik Buterin's mother Natalia Ameline, currently has an annualized revenue of just over $3,000. Soneium fares slightly better with an annualized revenue exceeding $50,000. In contrast, Aave's largest deployment on the Ethereum mainnet generates over $142 million in revenue, while Base's revenue is $4.7 million.

DDC Enterprise Limited Announces 2025 Unaudited Preliminary Financial Performance: Record Revenue Achieved, Bitcoin Treasury Grows to 2183 Coins
On March 4, 2026, DDC Enterprise Limited (NYSE American: DDC) today announced preliminary, unaudited full-year financial performance for the year ended December 31, 2025. The company expects to achieve record revenue and record positive adjusted EBITDA, primarily driven by continued growth in its core consumer food business and overall margin improvement. The final audited financial report is expected to be released in mid-April 2026.
Revenue: Expected to be between $39 million and $41 million, reaching a new company high.
Organic Growth: Excluding the impact of the company's strategic contraction of its U.S. operations, core revenue is expected to grow 11% to 17% year over year.
Gross Profit Margin: Expected to be between 28% and 30%, reflecting continued operational efficiency improvements.
Adjusted EBITDA: The company expects to achieve a positive full-year result in 2025, a significant improvement from a $3.5 million loss in 2024, mainly due to rigorous cost controls and a higher-margin sales mix.
In 2025, DDC's core consumer food business maintained strong operational performance.
The company also disclosed Core Consumer Food Business Adjusted EBITDA, a metric that further excludes costs related to its Bitcoin reserve strategy and non-cash fair value adjustments related to its Bitcoin holdings from adjusted EBITDA to more accurately reflect the core business performance.
In 2025, Core Consumer Food Business Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $5.5 million and $6 million.
In the first half of 2025, DDC initiated a long-term Bitcoin accumulation strategy, holding Bitcoin as its primary reserve asset.
As of December 31, 2025: The company holds 1,183 BTC.
As of February 28, 2026: Holdings increased to 2,118 BTC
Today's additional purchase of 65 BTC brings the company's total holdings to 2,183 BTC
DDC Founder, Chairman, and CEO Norma Chu stated, "We are proud to have closed 2025 with record revenue and positive adjusted EBITDA, demonstrating the steady growth of the company's consumer food business and the ongoing improvement in profitability. We are building a disciplined, growth-oriented food platform and strategically allocating capital to Bitcoin assets with a long-term view, aligning with our core beliefs. We believe that this dual-track model of 'Steady Consumer Business + Strategic Bitcoin Reserve' will help DDC create lasting long-term value for shareholders."
For the full year 2025, the company defines "Adjusted EBITDA" (a non-GAAP financial measure) as: Net income / (loss) excluding the following items:· Interest expense· Taxes· Foreign exchange gains/losses· Long-lived asset impairment· Depreciation and amortization· Non-cash fair value changes related to financial instruments (including Bitcoin holdings)· Stock-based compensation
DDC Enterprise Limited (NYSE: DDC) is actively implementing its corporate Bitcoin Treasury strategy while continuing to strengthen its position as a leading global Asian food platform.
The company has established Bitcoin as a core reserve asset and is executing a prudent, long-oriented accumulation strategy. While expanding its portfolio of food brands, DDC is gradually becoming one of the public company pioneers in integrating Bitcoin into its corporate financial architecture.
