Scroll Acquires Honeypop to Strengthen DeFi Infrastructure

Ethereum Layer-2 network Scroll has acquired DeFi project Honeypop to bring core trading and lending infrastructure in-house.

Key Updates:
• Honeypop reorganized into two native protocols:
◦ Scroll Swap (AMM) - live
◦ Scroll Lend (Morpho-powered lending) - launching soon

• Move aims to prevent liquidity and lending gaps caused by short-term third-party projects.
• Honeypop team joins Scroll to maintain core DeFi systems.
• Scroll will now fund more long-term ecosystem builders instead of broad grant programs.

Ecosystem Stack Includes:
• USX: Gasless stablecoin
• sUSX: Yield-bearing stable asset

Scroll says the goal is to ensure long-term liquidity, lending access, and infrastructure stability across its ecosystem.
The acquisition reflects a growing trend of blockchains bringing critical DeFi primitives under direct management.
