🚀 Major Nolus Upgrades

The last two months have been among the most substantial development cycles in recent memory for Nolus

A major Money Market upgrade — v0.8.16 — is set to go live next week, bringing new features, performance optimizations, and smarter lifecycle management for margin positions and deposits. The result is faster, more efficient transactions, lower gas usage, and a cleaner, more robust architecture

We’ve also added browser push notifications to the web app for LTV thresholds and liquidation alerts, along with direct protocol parameters querying for faster asset listings

And these are just a few of the changes

At Nolus, we’ve always believed that interoperability is not a feature — it’s the foundation.

IBC is both the present and the future of DeFi, providing trustless, modular rails that let assets, liquidity, and innovation flow seamlessly across ecosystems.

That’s why Nolus is built on IBC at its core. But our vision doesn’t stop there — we’re scaling beyond Cosmos, extending openness and connectivity into new networks while keeping IBC as the backbone of secure cross-chain execution.

The future of finance isn’t siloed, it’s interconnected. Nolus will continue to push interoperability forward, ensuring users everywhere have access to leverage, yield, and opportunity.

Now that the dust has settled after the market wiped out nearly $20B, it’s time to look at how Nolus held up under one of the toughest stress tests in DeFi history


1️⃣ Protocol Resilience
Nolus faced its biggest real-world trial yet and held strong

From a total position value of $2.61M before the crash:
→ $146K (5.6%) were partial liquidations
→ $129K (5%) were full liquidations

Exceptionally low rates given the market conditions

2️⃣ Smarter Price Feeds
The Nolus oracle applies a 10-minute EMA (Exponential Moving Average) to trim outliers. For instance, $ATOM printed $2.78 on Nolus — while some CEXs hit $0.001

This design prevented unnecessary liquidations and protected users’ positions

3️⃣ The Market Anomaly Guard (MAG) protected $610K from wrongful liquidation (~23.4% of total protocol value). Funds that would’ve been wiped elsewhere stayed intact here

4️⃣ Infrastructure
Even as markets broke structure, the network, relayers, and oracle feeders ran flawlessly

Nolus just went fully mobile-native

You can now connect Keplr wallet directly from your browser via the Wallet Connect (beta)

✨ Fresh UX improvements make trading on the go seamless

📣 Proposal #320 Passed!

The on-chain vote has concluded with 60.65 % turnout — the upgrade to v0.8.2 is scheduled for Oct 27 @ 12:30 UTC

New in this release:
🔅CosmWasm v3 → adds IBC v2 support
🔅CometBFT v0.38 → improves consensus speed and network resilience

📣 Nolus Extends to Solana

We are excited to share that Nolus will soon extend its fixed-rate margin engine to Solana

Powered by the IBC application Solray, margin flows will execute on Solana’s high-performance, high-liquidity environment, expanding what’s possible for users across both chains
