Согласно отчету The Defiant, децентрализованный кредитный протокол Zest Protocol, развернутый на Stacks, объявил, что 23 октября является сроком для выхода aeUSDC на Stacks Market V1, требуя от пользователей завершить миграцию соответствующих позиций до этой даты.Поскольку Stacks Market V2 поддерживает только стабильную монету USDCx, выпущенную в сотрудничестве с Circle, процесс миграции с V1 на V2 не будет автоматически переносить позиции aeUSDC. Пользователи должны сначала вывести ликвидность aeUSDC из V1, затем обменять aeUSDC напрямую на USDCx через Bitflow, и, наконец, внести USDCx обратно в приложение V2.Другой способ заключается в том, чтобы использовать Allbridge Classic для кросс-цепной миграции aeUSDC с Stacks на USDC в Ethereum, а затем использовать кросс-цепной мост Circle для переноса USDC с Ethereum на USDCx на Stacks. Приложение Zest будет показывать уведомление, когда пользователи все еще держат ликвидность V1, поддерживая однокнопочную миграцию позиций, кроме aeUSDC, на V2.
