SaberDAO, a leading automated market maker (AMM) on the Solana blockchain specializing in efficient trades between stablecoins and wrapped assets, has released its weekly report for September 12, 2025. This update provides a snapshot of the protocol's performance, highlighting key metrics that show ongoing activity and user engagement in the DeFi space. If you're into Solana-based projects or tracking DeFi trends, this breakdown will give you the essentials in plain English.

Breaking Down the Global Protocol Stats

At the top level, SaberDAO's overall health looks solid. The total value locked (TVL)—which measures the total amount of crypto assets deposited into the protocol's liquidity pools—stands at $24.79 million. This figure reflects the trust users have in Saber for providing liquidity and earning yields without the high slippage often seen in other DEXes.

Weekly trading volume came in at $15.86 million, indicating a healthy flow of trades across its pools. For context, volume like this keeps the ecosystem liquid and attractive for traders looking to swap pegged assets like stablecoins with minimal price impact.

Revenue for the week was $1.62K, generated primarily from trading fees. While not massive, it's a steady income stream that supports the protocol's operations and rewards for token holders.

SBR Token Insights: Price, Supply, and Holders

SBR is SaberDAO's native governance token, used for voting on proposals and participating in the DAO's decision-making. Here's the latest on its stats:

• Price: $0.001453
• Total Supply: 3.225 billion
• Circulating Supply: 2.041 billion
• Locked Supply: 1.184 billion
• Fully Diluted Market Cap: $4.68 million
• Market Cap: $2.96 million
• Holders Count: 40.58K

With over 40,000 holders, SBR shows a decent community base. The locked supply suggests some commitment from early participants or the team, potentially reducing selling pressure. If you're holding SBR, keep an eye on SaberDAO's official site for governance updates.

veSBR: Boosting Governance Participation

veSBR stands for vote-escrowed SBR, a mechanism where users lock their tokens to gain voting power and potentially higher rewards. The report shows:

• Total Supply: 6.75 billion
• Voted: 2.13 billion
• Governance Participation: 31.6%

This 31.6% participation rate means about a third of veSBR holders are actively involved in voting, which is a positive sign for decentralized governance. Higher participation often leads to better-aligned decisions for the protocol's future.

Top Saber Liquidity Pools and Their Performance

Saber excels in pools for stable and pegged assets, minimizing impermanent loss for liquidity providers. The report details several key pools with their TVL, annual percentage yield (APY), and daily SBR rewards:

Name	TVL	APY (%)	SBR/Day
SOL-bSOL	$105,476	8.246	13,611
cbBTC-WBTC	$1.145M	4.829	2,586
SOL-vSOL	$207,628	3.188	2,586
cbBTC-bBTC	$120,933	2.159	2,317
USDT-USDC	$2.158M	1.144	0.0

These pools cater to popular pairs like Solana's native SOL with its liquid-staked versions (bSOL, vSOL) and Bitcoin wrappers (cbBTC, WBTC, bBTC). The USDT-USDC pool, a classic stablecoin pair, boasts the highest TVL but no SBR rewards, likely focusing on pure fee-based yields. APYs here are attractive for low-risk liquidity provision, especially compared to volatile meme token pools.
