Orbs Unveils Liquidity Hub V2 to Level Up Decentralized Trading
Layer 3 protocol Orbs has announced the launch of Liquidity Hub V2, described as a significant upgrade to the infrastructure solution it introduced last year. The latest iteration builds upon the success of its predecessor, operating as an L3-powered meta aggregator that lets DEXs pull liquidity from anywhere, delivering optimal pricing without manual liquidity sourcing. To date, Liquidity Hub has been integrated into nine protocols and blockchains since being launched in partnership with Polygon-based decentralized exchange (DEX) QuickSwap. What’s New with Liquidity Hub 2.0? Designed to address long-standing challenges in the multichain ecosystem, the original Liquidity Hub unified fragmented liquidity and optimized pricing mechanisms, establishing the DeFi industry’s first truly integrated liquidity framework. According to Orbs , V2 introduces a slew of further enhancements and sets new standards for onchain trading execution quality to rival centralized exchanges (CEXs). Among other features, Liquidity Hub V2 enhances the trading experience through the implementation of dynamic fees, which are calculated in real-time as a percentage of achieved savings, independent of Dutch auction decay. This approach is said to ensure optimal cost efficiency for traders, even under negative slippage conditions. Another notable advancement touted by Orbs is V2’s enhanced AMM Router Price Simulation, which continuously monitors AMM prices throughout the Dutch auction process. In effect, this feature guarantees that the Liquidity Hub consistently outperforms the prices of rival Automated Market Makers like Uniswap and Raydium, particularly during volatile market conditions, resulting in more efficient and reliable trading outcomes. And then there’s V2’s LH Explorer tool, which provides an unprecedented level of visibility into transaction details. For the first time, traders can access comprehensive information about AMM simulated prices, Liquidity Hub prices, fees, gas costs, and savings, instilling greater confidence in the overall trading process. In short, Liquidity Hub 2.0 is a beefed-up version of Orbs’ flagship offering, one designed to make onchain trading more efficient for everyone. Empowering DEXs to Do More Although traders are the primary beneficiaries of the raft of improvements brought about by Liquidity Hub V2, DEX operators will also benefit from enhanced competitiveness, potentially putting them in a better position to attract more traders. Orbs’ Liquidity Hub upgrade is being implemented across all existing protocols where it’s integrated without service interruption, furnishing traders with improved liquidity prices and performance. Projects currently leveraging Liquidity Hub include hyper-liquid zkEVM solution Lumia and DEX aggregators Odos, OpenOcean, ParaSwap, and KyberSwap. Of course, the infrastructure constitutes only one part of Orbs’ stack. The L3, which supports onchain trading characterized by advanced order types (futures, decentralized derivatives) and deep liquidity, has also developed sophisticated DeFi protocols like dTWAP , which allows DEX swaps to be broken down into multiple buys for better pricing.

Shiba Inu’s Rally Hits a Snag – Could More Corrections Be Around the Corner?
Last updated: December 10, 2024 11:59 EST The price of Shiba Inu has plummeted by 10% today, dropping to $0.00002683 as the cryptocurrency market suffers a 4% decline in the past 24 hours. SHIB is also down by 8.5% in the past week, although the meme token remains up by 19% in a month and by 160% in a year. Its fall today puts it in an oversold position, with its seven-day MVRV (market value to realized value) ratio dropping to -9% today, as more SHIB holders enter the red. Yet such falls signal that the coin is ready to rebound soon, with analysts offering some very bullish SHIB price predictions . Shiba Inu’s Rally Hits a Snag – Could More Corrections Be Around the Corner? After falling overnight, SHIB is now hitting a bottom, with its indicators suggesting that it could rebound very soon. Its relative strength index (purple) has begun climbing again after falling below 30 a few hours ago, with SHIB’s price rising by 2% in the past hour. Source: TradingView Meanwhile, the coin’s 30-period average (orange) has dropped below the 200-period average (blue), which in the immediate term indicates a selloff. Yet this selloff has now happened, so SHIB is now in a position where it can recover strongly. This is also supported by the aforementioned MVRV ratio, which has fallen beyond -9% in the past 24 hours. Not only does this indicate that SHIB holders are, on average, sitting on a 9% loss in the past week, but it also reinforces the view that the coin is currently in an undervalued position. In other words, it should bounce back strongly very soon, with similar dips in the MVRV ratio leading to their own recoveries. $SHIB in on the verge of a massive break-out. 🐶 pic.twitter.com/KODanVlouJ — Whales HQ (@WhalesHQ) December 8, 2024 On Course for Future Growth Analysts seem to think that SHIB is due for a big surge, with some suggesting in recent days that the coin is “ on the verge of a massive break-out “. It has recently suffered in the shadow of Dogecoin, which has attracted most of the attention following Donald Trump’s election victory, and Elon Musk’s ascension to co-head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. Yet Shiba Inu arguably has more going for it on a fundamental level, for various reasons. It has seen its burn rate increase significantly in recent weeks, for example, on the back of rising Shibarium usage . In fact, this rate has shot up by over 12,000% in the past 24 hours , resulting in the burning of 52 million SHIB. And speaking of Shibarium, its growth points to the other major reason to be bullish about Shiba Inu, which is that it has a richer ecosystem than many of its peers. Shib the Metaverse: Where the Community Meets, Dreams, and Schemes Let’s remind you that the Shib Ecosystem will finally launch Shib the Metaverse in the foreseeable future. And do we know a little more? Yes! If you’ve been paying attention to Shiba State posts, Treat, L3,… pic.twitter.com/E3iadQJs8u — 𝐋𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐄 (@LucieSHIB) September 29, 2024 There’s its layer-two network Shibarium, its DEX ShibaSwap, while it has also seen the launch of several related video games in recent months . Based on these factors, and given the overall direction of the wider market, the Shiba Inu price is likely to continue rising in the coming weeks and months. It could hit $0.000030 again by Christmas, before climbing to $0.000050 by Q2 2025. Disclaimer: Crypto is a high-risk asset class.

Blockchain protocols aim to break up digital advertising cartel
For decades, product developers have needed to go through tech giants like Facebook, Google, Instagram and TikTok to market their products. If they didn’t pay up, they wouldn’t be able to reach their audience. This traditional, centralized advertising industry is expected to generate over $1 trillion in revenue in 2025, according to a report from Axios. At the same time, advertisements on these platforms often don’t match up with the user’s interests and are viewed as spam. However, some Web3 protocols are attempting to disrupt this industry and provide a better system for matching up products to users. These protocols dispense with the usual model of spamming people with interruptions. Instead, they use tokenized rewards and a data ownership model to entice users into trying out new products. Providing value to users According to Brandon Kumar, co-founder of Web3 aggregator Layer3, the fundamental problem with traditional advertising is that it returns very little value to users in exchange for a lot of time and effort. “If I am being advertised to on Facebook, the only utility I get is maybe personalized ads,” he told Cointelegraph. “I don’t get any value from that, despite spending a lot of time contributing a lot of value.” Because of this lack of value provided by traditional social media, many Web3 users look for play-to-earn games and other apps that give more value in exchange for their time. Some users also have assets to invest and want to grow their capital base through speculating and trading. Either way, finding profitable apps can be difficult. In the early days of crypto, users relied on Twitter (now X) to find new protocols. But this was “ineffective,” Kumar stated, because it only relied on “what looks good on Twitter,” which may not have always reflected reality. Related: Crypto Twitter: A dangerous source for financial advice? Protocols have tried to reach users by issuing airdrops or through “liquidity mining,” offering tokens as rewards for providing liquidity. But this only caused the token price to fall. “You’re lighting money on fire by doing that,” Kumar stated. Layer3 user interface. Source: Layer3 In Kumar’s view, the solution to the problem is to target rewards to users who have the greatest chance of providing value to the protocol’s ecosystem. “If you have a token, you can use your token to incentivize users in a targeted way. If you don’t, you can spend fiat. And what we do is we take that, and we route that to users who are going to have high retention likelihood probabilistically in your protocol, will spend, will retain, have high wallet balances and meet your kind of target demographic,” he stated. According to him, this can be done by considering a user’s onchain data, which is not taken into account by traditional social media platforms. Kumar claimed that Layer3 doesn’t merely help users make money from token rewards, it also curates content based on users’ behavior, which provides an added non-financial benefit to users. In addition, he claimed that some crypto beginners come to the platform to learn more about digital assets, so it serves an educational function as well. Apurv Kaushal, co-founder of Web3 aggregator Intract, agreed that this value proposition offered by Web3 airdrops presents a challenge to traditional advertisers. He stated: “You have a big intermediary in the middle, like a Facebook, that ends up controlling a lot of the budget flow that happens in Web2 in terms of advertising [...]. Neither the company nor the users get the best deal because their data is being controlled by Facebook and all these other organizations. [But with airdrops,] the users actually get a cut in the company’s shares or tokens for contributing early to them.” However, the industry has come to realize that airdrops can be very inefficient as well. “In the recent six or seven months,” Kaushal said, “there’s been a lot of criticism around airdrops not being the best tool for a company to get good quality users.” Related: EigenLayer users fume over restrictive airdrop, others say it’s ‘generous’ To prevent protocols from paying out tokens to low-quality users, Intract engages in “targeted incentive distribution,” Kaushal claimed. The platform considers a user’s past reputation onchain, as well as offchain social data, when determining whether they are eligible for a reward. One example Kaushal cited is Intract’s “proof of humanity” feature. Protocols that are worried about bots infecting their platform can verify a user’s humanity through a variety of methods. However, the platform doesn’t dictate how to define humanity. Some protocols may have a loose standard, such as requiring the user to have a Google account, whereas others may be more strict, requiring something like a verified account at a crypto exchange or even a Worldcoin identity. Intract’s proof of humanity protocol. Source: Intract Either way, proof of humanity can allow protocols to provide rewards to users while simultaneously limiting the number of low-quality leads, Kaushal argued. Video games as an ad platform Jonathan Bozanquet, co-founder of Playa3ull Games, claimed that video games will be a major disrupter of traditional advertising in the future. Bozanquet said that early in his life, he attempted to sell Sony and Atari on the idea of video game advertising: “I had Sony and Atari. We were talking to them about a company we wanted to start called Video Game Advertising, because all the games, even today, no games have actual advertising in them. So, our thought was, you’re playing a game, and you pick up a pair of shoes that make you jump higher. Why aren’t those shoes Nike or Adidas? Or, you know, some other brand that wants to move up the ranks? You drink a drink that gives you more power. Why isn’t that Coca-Cola or Red Bull or whatever?” The two companies didn’t implement the idea, but Bozanquet still says video games can be a counterweight to the immense power of social media companies and search engines. “Video game advertising is actually a chance to sidestep the traditional media,” he stated. Playa3ull is currently working on 30 different Web3 video games, he stated. Each game uses the same 3ULL token in its in-game economy, allowing the token’s utility to grow as each game is released and gains more players. Bozanquet stated that the project hasn’t yet signed on any advertisers but plans to pursue them in late 2025. Once advertising revenue is obtained, the company will spend a portion of the funds to market the games, potentially bringing in more players and increasing the token’s utility further.
'Not your keys, not your blockchain': DEGEN L3 can't switch 'rollup-as-a-service' providers from firm holding its keys
From theblock by Daniel Kuhn There are many things in life that cannot be controlled, but public/private key pairs are not usually included in that list. In fact, blockchains are designed so that anyone can maintain ownership over their assets. Unfortunately for DEGEN L3, however, this appears not to be the case. In a blog post on Thursday, the project’s founders disclosed they’ve been embroiled in a dispute with third-party infrastructure provider Conduit since August over access to their own blockchain. The unfolding conflict between DEGEN L3 and Conduit is a stark reminder of the risks inherent in using third-party infrastructure in blockchain projects. While blockchain technology promises decentralization and control over one's assets, DEGEN's struggle highlights the dangers of outsourced dependencies that can jeopardize ownership and operational continuity. This case underscores the importance of retaining control over essential elements like key management to avoid costly setbacks and potential legal battles. Airing of grievances “Conduit holds our rollup keys and has refused to upgrade our chain,” the Degen team wrote in a post titled “A Frustrated Migration and a Plea to the DEGEN Community,” that essentially outlines an alleged hostage situation. According to the team, in May, Conduit allegedly pushed out an unannounced software upgrade that caused a 54-hour period of downtime that cost Degen users $160,000 in lost funds. This was a black eye for the project that was once celebrated as the Ethereum ETH +5.15% -based network with the highest transaction count per second. After the incident, Degen contacted Conduit to make their users whole — a proposition that was allegedly declined. Instead, Conduit offered Degen six months of free service. At that point, the Degen team decided to migrate to a new contract and use a different service provider. As the team tells it, after Degen notified Conduit it was not renewing its contract, the infrastructure provider confiscated Degen’s sequencer fees and deleted its block explorer data. Worst of all, Conduit has refused to hand over the Gnosis Safe multi-signature keys needed for Degen to deploy its new smart contracts and activate the new infrastructure provider’s sequencer. “We feel we have no choice but to bring our grievances to the public,” the team wrote. Not your keys While serving as a general reminder of that old crypto adage “not your keys, not your coins,” the Degen situation also illustrates the issues around made-for-order developer toolkits and the hurdles ahead for scaling Ethereum via ever more scaling layers. “Ultimately if you use ‘rollup as a service,’ you are not in control and are at the whims of the provider. And in the experimental world we live in, probably best to go with a well established L1 that shares fees with their devs,” DeFi icon Andre Cronje told The Block in a direct message. DEGEN L3, launched in March 2024 by former Hedgehog Technologies engineer Jacek Trociński, is a memecoin-focused Layer 3 blockchain that supports decentralized apps. At its height, it was processing $200,000 daily in bridge volumes. From the start, it was supposed to be about fun and games, but apparently, Degen is the thing that got played. Wanting to launch a platform quickly after his points-accruing DEGEN token began gaining traction in the “degen” Farcaster channel, Trociński used prefab blockchain parts. According to Macha , he enlisted DAO services startup Syndicate to “piece together the infrastructure. " Built on Arbitrum’s Orbit chain, it used Conduit as a “rollup-as-a-service” provider, the Decent bridge to connect to Base and Blockscout for a blockchain explorer. Conduit provides a no-code solution for deploying a rollup, a process that could happen in minutes. “Outsourcing the chain development in this way enabled Degen chain to launch rapidly, and access the expertise needed to make customizations such as precompiled functions that reduce the need for smart contracts,” Macha wrote. The Block has reached out to both parties. No contracts For its part, Conduit responded to the allegations, saying, “We empathize with the DEGEN team and have been supporting their offboarding.” The company has reportedly been providing DEGEN services for free since May “without a formal relationship.” “This is unusual in business, but at Conduit we are flexible and want to support the best communities, however we can,” the company wrote on X. More importantly, according to Conduit founder Andrew Huang, the company has not received an address to which it can transfer ownership of the rollup. "As soon as we do, we’re ready to facilitate that transfer," he said. In addition to the dispute around which party should keep the Degen sequencer fees (Conduit allegedly refuses to release the funds “unless a contract is signed between both parties” in part because the sequencer is unprofitable, Degen claims), the companies are also in dispute over signing a contract. According to Degen, Conduit has been stalling on signing the migration contract for three months and is pushing for a version that would absolve them of all responsibility. Conduit, however, claims it has already signed a document that “has been viewed but not signed by DEGEN since October 30th.” “We're ready and waiting to deploy several new services on DEGEN L3 that we think are critical to improving the developer experience and range of available applications,” Degen wrote, noting that if Conduit does not hand over the keys and take the other necessary steps to begin offboarding, the project is willing to choose the less than “ideal path forward” of creating a new chain and ruminating holders. The project is also mulling a lawsuit, though Degen founder Colton Dillion noted it is "a slow solution that will leave the chain unable to be upgraded until we get a settlement or a court decision." “In the original contract we were supposed to get our keys within 30 days of saying we wanted to leave. It’s been 6 months since and no keys,” Degen wrote. “We hope the community can forgive us for trusting too much and erring on the side of kindness,” Degen wrote. Whether DEGEN can migrate or is forced to relaunch from scratch, it’s a lesson that “not your keys, not your blockchain.”
DEGEN tokens may have to relaunch on a new chain as ConduitXYZ holds bridge keys hostage
Degen (DEGEN), the reward token for Farcaster users, may have to relaunch on a new chain, after ConduitXYZ caused a long delay in transaction processing. Degen (DEGEN), a token for the Farcaster community, may relaunch its chain after a disagreement with its service provider ConduitXYZ. Degen used the service for its rollup infrastructure, and ConduitXYZ ended up holding some of the project’s rollup keys. This meant Degen could not migrate away from the service, even after a bad upgrade caused significant losses. Initially, the team wanted to migrate the DEGEN L3 chain to another infrastructure provider. Degen also runs a partially decentralized L2 chain, bringing together the Farcaster community with on-chain services. For the past three months, Degen tried to deal with the matter privately, before opening up its problems to the community. “DEGEN stands ready to create a new chain and remunerate all holders and developers on the original L3. While this is not an ideal path forward, we hope the community can forgive us for trusting too much and erring on the side of kindness,” the team announced in a recent statement about the conflict. On its side, ConduitXYZ offered a contract to migrate with support, avoiding on-chain risks. The service provider presented the contract, signed on their side, but as of the end of October, Degen did not accept the terms. Degen stated that it did not receive compensation for lost value during the chain downtime in May, and the offer for six months of free services was followed by double payments for the next six months. The unfavorable conditions pushed Degen to look for other solutions. See also Is Binance tracking Murad Mahmudov's meme list? Meme tokens get a boost from Binance futures market listings The Degen community stood behind the project, suggesting ConduitXYZ has not been honest in offering its services and not accepting other terms of payment or offboarding. For now, Degen has not announced plans for a relaunch to a new chain or service. Degen tried to migrate since August, considers a new chain The Degen team has been negotiating a migration with ConduitXYZ, during which time the service provider refused to give Degen the rollup keys. For the past few months, Degen claims ConduitXYZ retained fees for its infrastructure services and refused to move on with the migration. The Degen bridge was also affected by a faulty upgrade, which led to 54 hours of downtime for the bridging service. The DEGEN L3 bridge processes $200K in daily traffic, leading to a loss of user funds and opportunities. As a result, the bridge lost 75% of its traffic, retaining only around $4M in value locked . ConduitXYZ has not compensated the DEGEN L3 users as the Degen team demanded. In the case of a new chain relaunch, Degen will aim to renew all balances. Additionally, Degen claims ConduigXYZ lost some of its on-chain history data, leaving users with a broken block explorer. As a result of the losses, Degen has considered a chain relaunch to carry out its activity. The project claimed it had several partnerships in the pipeline and ConduitXYZ could not provide the technical assistance to sign the necessary transactions. One of the main areas of development is with meme token platforms, where the DEGEN token will gain cross-chain compatibility and be used for tipping and DeFi on several protocols. See also Solana surpasses BNB, claims fourth largest crypto by market cap The migration of DEGEN L3 to a new provider or a new chain does not affect the other features of the project. DEGEN token usage and tipping on Farcaster are still working, and the main service has not abandoned Base as its main platform. Farcaster has slowed down its activity from its heyday in the first half of 2024, coinciding with the price action of DEGEN. Farcaster saw an outflow of users and content after the initial hype about crypto social media. | Source: Dune Analytics In March and April, Farcaster carried more than 1.2M casts or postings. A few months later, the activity stabilized at around 500K casts. Farcaster retains around 700K total users, and its activity overlaps with other social media. After the news of the failed migration, the DEGEN token slid from $0.009 to $0.0081, sinking toward its weekly lows. DEGEN started off in April when Farcaster and SocialFi were more popular, peaking at $0.05. Since then, the token has been losing value, despite its presence on Coinbase.

RitualChain will act as a co-processor for ArbitrumOne and other L2/L3 frameworks under Orbit, allowing applications to submit AI requests directly to RitualChain and use the results locally by passing messages to it.
ApeChain Mainnet Launches: Transforming the APE Ecosystem with L3 Technology on Arbitrum
ApeChain, the APE ecosystem’s Layer 3 blockchain, has launched on Arbitrum, enhancing scalability, efficiency, and lowering transaction costs. The launch of ApeChain coincided with a significant rise in the APE token price, reflecting the network’s anticipated impact on the blockchain landscape. The team behind Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and ApeCoin (APE) has officially launched the ApeChain mainnet, a Layer 3 (L3) blockchain built on the Layer 2 (L2) scaling solution, Arbitrum. This launch marks a significant milestone in the APE ecosystem, designed to further enhance scalability, transaction speed, and cost efficiency. ApeChain’s architecture as a Layer 3 network, built on top of Arbitrum, which itself runs on Ethereum (ETH), offers unique advantages. Ethereum , serving as the Layer 1 (L1) foundation, provides the fundamental security and decentralization needed for blockchain networks. However, its limitations, particularly in scalability and transaction costs, have led to the development of more advanced solutions like Arbitrum (L2). By moving transactions off the main Ethereum chain and then verifying them back onto the network, Arbitrum dramatically reduces costs and increases speed without compromising security. ApeChain leverages this structure as an L3 to further optimize transactions within the APE ecosystem. It inherits Ethereum’s security and Arbitrum ’s enhanced scalability, but adds another layer of efficiency tailored to the specific demands of the APE network. The goal is to ensure faster, cheaper transactions, particularly within the ApeCoin economy, where rapid transaction processing and minimal fees are essential. The launch has already had a notable impact on the APE token, which saw a price surge from $0.70 to a high of $1.75, a level not seen since April 2024. The token is currently trading around $1.54, highlighting increased confidence in the APE ecosystem’s future. How ApeChain Enhances Blockchain Efficiency ApeChain supports the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), meaning it can run the same types of smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) as Ethereum. This compatibility enables ApeChain to tap into the vast ecosystem of tools and applications already developed for Ethereum, providing seamless access for developers and users alike. One of the key innovations driving ApeChain’s low-cost transactions is the “Anytrust Data Availability” technology. This system ensures that transaction data remains accessible and verifiable in a decentralized manner, without requiring all network validators to be online at all times. Instead, a subset of trusted validators, known as the Data Availability Committee, guarantees data integrity. This allows for reduced resource consumption, driving down costs while maintaining robust security. If disputes arise, the full dataset can be restored to validate any potential issues, ensuring transparency and trust in the system. Despite its advantages, this technology also introduces certain risks. Since the network’s security heavily relies on the integrity of the Data Availability Committee, any malicious behavior or corruption within this group could pose a threat to data availability and overall network security. On-chain data reveals that ApeChain processes new blocks every second, with most blocks handling two transactions, though some contain up to 12. These blocks confirm the network’s rapid transaction speed and low costs, with transaction fees as minimal as $0.007. Since its launch on October 19, ApeChain has seen a surge in unique accounts, growing from 5,000 to over 103,000 within just one day. This explosion in user participation is partly attributed to the community’s positive reception of “Top Trader,” a cryptocurrency trading simulator introduced alongside the ApeChain mainnet. During ApeChain’s testnet phase, unique accounts never exceeded 1,300, making this exponential growth a testament to the mainnet’s early success. Additionally, daily transactions have soared, reaching nearly 900,000 on October 20, compared to the testnet’s peak of just 10,000 daily transactions. The Future of the APE Ecosystem ApeChain’s integration into the broader APE ecosystem represents a significant advancement for projects like the Bored Ape Yacht Club. The ecosystem, which includes several NFT collections and decentralized platforms, benefits from ApeChain’s enhanced efficiency, providing users with a faster and more cost-effective blockchain experience. Additionally, the introduction of “native yield” functionality allows assets transferred into the ApeChain network to automatically generate passive income, utilizing yield-generating sources on the Ethereum mainnet without requiring any manual intervention. Stablecoins like USDC , USDT, and DAI will be converted into sDAI (DAI Savings Rate) on Ethereum and mirrored on ApeChain as apeUSD, while ETH and WETH will be transformed into apeETH. These mechanisms will empower users to earn returns on their holdings effortlessly, further enriching the APE ecosystem’s financial offerings. In tandem with the launch, Yuga Labs has introduced ApeExpress , a platform enabling users to create and launch custom tokens on ApeChain. This allows for the easy creation of tokens, from memes to more complex assets, within minutes, giving users new ways to engage with the ecosystem.

Cros Advertising Ecosystem Token Economics ($CROS) Cros Advertising Ecosystem's native token $CROS is an ERC20 governance token based on the Ethereum network, with a total supply of 1 billion tokens, specifically used to promote platform governance and incentive mechanism. The token plays a core role in the entire ecosystem, promoting advertising campaigns, network governance, and reward distribution. Token distribution Cros plans to publish 1,000,000,000 $CROS tokens, which will be distributed as follows: Seed round sales : 10% (100,000,000 coins), TGE release 2%, 3-month lock-up period, linear release 24 months. Private placement round sales : 10% (100,000,000), TGE release 5%, 3-month lock-up period, linear release 24 months. Public offering round sales : 2% (20,000,000), TGE release 20%, linear release 4 months. Team and Advisor : 17% (170,000,000 coins), 8-month lock-up period, linear release for 40 months. Airdrop and security bugs reward : 7% (70,000,000), linearly released for 24 months. Network boot reward : 10% (100,000,000 pieces), linear release for 60 months. Growth and Community Bonus : 15% (150,000,000 coins), linear release for 24 months. Additional Development Fund : 6% (60,000,000 tokens), 8-month lock-up period, 24-month linear release. Listing and market-making funds : 5% (50,000,000), 8-month lock-up period, linear release for 6 months. Ecosystem Fund : 18% (180,000,000 coins), linear release for 60 months. Token usage The $CROS token has four main functions in the Cros Advertising Ecosystem, namely: Staking (Staking) : Gamers, developers and advertisers can get a share of advertising revenue by staking $CROS tokens. Validation (Validation) : Validation nodes need to stake $CROS tokens to verify the effectiveness of advertising display, ensuring that advertising data is fairly verified on the Layer 2 chain of Cros. Governance : $CROS holders can participate in the governance of the platform, voting on network parameters and development direction, such as payment methods, staking rules, advertising revenue distribution, etc. Payment (Payments) : Advertisers can get discounts and cashback when using $CROS tokens to pay for advertising expenses, increasing the circulation and demand of tokens. V. Team and financing Hussein A., founder, has extensive experience with Rocket Internet. He brings a deep technical background and entrepreneurial spirit to promote Cros' decentralized advertising ecosystem globally. Sachin A., co-founder, previously worked at Microsoft and has extensive experience in technology management and innovation. He is one of the builders of Cros' core technology architecture. Vikranth P., Product Owner from Cisco, has extensive product development and management experience and is responsible for driving product strategy and user experience optimization for the Cros platform. Financing section: The specific financing details have not been made public yet. However, the token distribution plan of the project shows that 17% of the tokens have been reserved for the team and consultants, indicating that the team will play an important role in future development and operation. VI. Risk Warning Advertising market acceptance risk Although Cros Advertising Ecosystem provides innovative solutions for the advertising industry through decentralized technology, the traditional advertising industry already has a solid market and players. Cros needs to persuade advertisers, developers, and brands to use its platform, which may encounter market inertia and resistance. If the advertising market does not accept Cros as expected, the project's user growth and platform development may be affected. Transparency and privacy protection of advertising data Cros' decentralized advertising model verifies advertising data through blockchain. Although this mechanism can improve transparency, it may also raise concerns about data privacy among advertisers and users. Advertisers may feel uneasy about the transparency of data, and users may also have doubts about the recording and storage of their behavioral data. Cros needs to find a balance between transparency and privacy protection, otherwise it may affect the trust of advertisers and users. Token demand fluctuations within the ecosystem As a key tool for advertising payment and Platform Governance, the demand for $CROS tokens will directly affect the vitality of the entire ecosystem. However, the token usage demand of advertisers and developers may be affected by market fluctuations, industry cyclical changes, and external factors, leading to insufficient token demand and affecting the liquidity and market value of tokens.

Farcaster's ups and downs: DEGEN's meme product revival
Original title: "Meme Super Cycle: DEGEN's Road to Meme Product Revival" Original source: Bob Tech Two months ago, when I was making the first video, Degen fell to the lowest point of 0.002$, but the number of on-chain addresses became the top 4 meme tokens. Today, two months later, DEGEN spot has landed on Coinbase and the price has risen by nearly 400% in a short period of time. It seems like a lifetime ago. DEGEN July Fundamentals Analysis Content Introduction: Foreword (1) Farcaster Economy and Degen; (2) Degen’s “darkest moment” this year; (3) Founder Jacek’s three transformations; (4) Meme Supercycle; Concluding Thoughts Foreword: I have been learning and playing at Farcaster for almost a year. FC has attracted qBuilders and qUsers. Although the daily active users have dropped by half from 100,000, the group of users who finally retained FC after this year are those who like original exploration. “Organic content” is still the reason why FC attracts me. I think the Farcaster community is more like a "casual" product incubator rather than what the industry calls "SocialFi" or "web3 social". Many experimental products are deeply bound to the Far community. For example, the previous client-transformed cultural and creative evaluation https://nook.social/, the client https://kiosk.app/, the acquisition of mirror https://paragraph.xyz/, the transformation of FC fan token project MOXIE https://www.airstack.xyz/, etc. In addition to mature products, there are also groups (https://warpcast.com/~/channel/the-arena) where earlier products are being built-in-public every day. Looking back at the development in the past six months, most of the early projects of Farcaster 1.0 have died down, and 90% of the projects that started with Party App and channel at that time now seem like a lifetime ago. However, as the most OG reward currency in the Farcaster community, Degen still continues to maintain product updates and community support. Although the transition to L3 was not smooth (there were downtimes in the middle) and there were many overly generous grants. But after several twists and turns, the community still grew together with the founder Jacek. Conduit's downtime announcement 1. Farcaster economy and Degen Farcaster is the platform that really made me want to study and output from an ordinary reader. With more than a year of development, FC has become a small on-chain economy. Every day, there are new early small products in internal testing, accompanied by a variety of Tokens and Airdrops. Recently, the post "Farconomy" has become popular https://warpcast.com/luc/0x04ad2a6e, Farcaster is forming a small economy that is very different from the mainstream web3 community style. Farconomy has counted the on-chain assets that have emerged in this cycle, such as the early Base ecosystem meme $HIGHER, TYBG, and the project $BUILD that started from the Farcaster developer group, the fan token project moxie launched by airstack that has recently begun to gain popularity, and of course the big brother - the earliest community reward currency $DEGEN. farconomy.com Although Farconomy maintains the ability to continuously incubate assets, I think only DEGEN can cross the cycle and maintain product stickiness. From the data, DEGEN still accounts for nearly 90% of the Farconomy economy. Although as the first generation of Farcaster reward currency, there are also many fork versions: such as HAM, but none of them have been able to maintain organic and continuous product iteration. Snapshot date: October 7 / Source: DUNE 2. Degen’s “darkest moment” this year After DEGEN officially transformed into a meme-exclusive chain Layer3 in May this year, after a brief correction, the community sentiment is still very high, and there have always been ecological partnerships and project grants. As the only VC institution 1confirmation (opensea, Polymarket investor), Mike publishes DEGEN daily reports every day https://paragraph.xyz/@degennews. It may be the norm for altcoins and memecoins. In the past six months, the market value has fallen by 90%. The community has also questioned the continuous decline. The DEGEN daily report made by 1confirmation also stopped in August. Compared to the cessation of block production on the DEGEN chain in May, the market decline in the following months has tested the founder's confidence. However, with the strategic transformation of founder Jacek, DEGEN began to cooperate with wintermute market makers, and the community's sentiment has eased. Until last month, many members of https://warpcast.com/~/channel/degentokenbase were still expressing dissatisfaction and disappointment with the development of Degen. Personally, I think Degen's transformation to Layer3 was a "trick" marketing decision that coincided with BASE Summer in May, but if most of the development resources are put into the transformation of layer3, and grants are still generously issued, it is a wrong decision to ignore the iteration of the product itself. Obviously, Degen's Layer3 through Conduit is a less successful attempt, just like the boring L2s. DEGEN Weekly 3. Founder Jacek’s 3 transformations The first: tipping currency transformation to Layer3 (2024-Q1) The second: ecological grants, increase the number of users (2024-Q2) The third: upgrade tips pledge function (vaults), cex listing (2024-Q3) Dune: https://dune.com/bob_tech/farcasterda-shang-xiang-mu-degenshu-ju-fen-xi This dune dashboard This shows the fundamentals of Degen products very well. $DEGEN, as a reward currency for farcasters, is no longer as popular and discussed as before, but the TVL data of its newly launched vault and layer3 have been setting new highs. It can also be seen that the founder Jacek has shifted his product focus. The demand for tipping products has weakened and turned to connectivity with other farcaster ecosystems and L3. Of course, the new vault staking and locking is also to give more back to core tippers, but I personally think that Degen should perhaps do more feature products around tipping and make "content reward" a product matrix. DEGEN has developed an independent small ecosystem Based on the recent tweets of founder Jacek, I think degen will usher in a wave of product adjustments and upgrades, and I hope that the "good article reward" product series can have new attempts. Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNUVJynMSFk Supply and demand analysis (updated 2 months ago) 4. Meme Supercycle The coolest speaker at Token2049 is Murad Mahmudov, and his "memecoin supercycle theory" is very worth discussing. He used data to show the ability of meme to cross cycles and the current VC project TGE embarrassment (high FDV and low circulation). Murad's speech at 2049 Compared with previous cycles, meme also seems to be highlighting the "Lindy effect, and a series of "value projects and tokens" created by VC are losing their community foundation, from the PUA of points and endless Layer2s, making the originally "innovation-driven" industry dead. Although Murad's point of view is full of emotional value, rationally speaking, the unpredictability of meme and the poor reliability of fundamentals are too poor, and its ups and downs of "short-sighted" style may make the industry more out of touch with future technology. I think relatively good memes have the following characteristics: (1) Products that can be played with daily; (2) Platforms and communities for daily discussion; (3) High-quality memes that can be re-created. Personally, I prefer meme communities that have products, and I naively hope that "product memes" can replace "emotional memes" to compete with VC projects in the market. Trinity: Product + Community + Meme Conclusion Creating and developing something is difficult, and the success of any business is also difficult. From Farcaster, I have seen the ups and downs of many niche product startups. Degen's development this year is a relatively interesting case. From a simple one-man project to obtaining financing from 1confirmation, it has now developed into a small community with nearly 700,000 addresses. Although there have been many failed attempts at transformation, Jacek, as a former "skateboard boy", is still relatively optimistic and honest in facing problems and solving them. It is also through this period of learning and output in fc that I have seen the development and failure of many independent products (not only DEGEN). After several precipitations, I also understand the value beyond price talk. Although failure is the norm, don’t rush to deny the exploration steps forward.

Achieve Greater Returns On Bitget Launchpool With Strategic Borrowing From Bitget Crypto Loans
In this article, we’re diving into how Bitget Crypto Loans can be strategically used to maximise your Bitget Launchpool returns. By borrowing assets through Bitget Crypto Loans, you can boost your staking power for Bitget Launchpool events to increase your rewards as well as expand your passive income potential. What Is Bitget Crypto Loans? Bitget Crypto Loans provide a smart, flexible way to unlock extra liquidity from your existing crypto assets without needing to sell them. This service is ideal for traders and investors looking to maintain ownership of their long-term holdings while freeing up capital for other opportunities. Bitget offers several loan options to suit different needs: ● Flexible Loans with adjustable rates based on the market, ● Fixed Rate Loans for 7-day or 30-day periods, with predictable repayment terms, and ● Key Account Loans for larger borrowers needing tailored options. To access Bitget Crypto Loans directly from your mobile devices, please check our latest guide here: Bitget Earn Guide (2024 APP Version) What Is Bitget Launchpool? Bitget Launchpool is a dynamic platform that enables users to deposit specific tokens in exchange for valuable rewards. Unlike Bitget PoolX, which provides a constant continuation of pools, Bitget Launchpool centers around exclusive, limited-time, high-return events. These events often feature newly launched tokens or opportunities to earn yields that are higher than usual. By joining these events, you have the chance to access tokens, often at an early phase, so as to maximise your earnings and retain the security of your original assets simultaneously. Bitget Launchpool also offers flexibility in that it holds earning events that align with your individual goals and interests. With the added borrowing power from Bitget Crypto Loans, you can significantly raise your contribution amount, which can lead to increased returns. This approach allows you to customise your strategy to suit specific opportunities for a tailored and effective approach to wealth accumulation. How To Use Bitget Crypto Loans To Optimise Launchpool Arbitrage Here’s the guide for using Bitget Crypto Loans to maximise returns with Bitget Launchpool: 1. Borrow assets with Bitget Crypto Loans: Start by using your current crypto holdings, such as BTC, as collateral to borrow USDT or any other specific token required for staking. This extra capital can be used to stake in Bitget Launchpool events. Given that Bitget Launchpool events are usually time-sensitive, choose a loan term that aligns with the event duration. New borrowable assets are added frequently, so don't worry about Bitget Launchpool events that require specific tokens. 2. Lock borrowed funds in Bitget Launchpool: With your borrowed assets in hand, choose a Bitget Launchpool event that offers attractive rewards. These events often feature new token airdrops or high-yield staking for you to accumulate new tokens or governance assets simply by staking your borrowed funds. 3. Collect your earning rewards: As your assets remain locked, you’ll earn rewards over the duration of the event. These could be new tokens, governance tokens, or other staking bonuses. The borrowed funds give you an amplified earning power, so expect to achieve a higher yield. 4. Repay the loan and retain your earnings: After the staking event concludes, withdraw your rewards and use a portion to repay your loan, including any accrued interest. You’ll keep the remaining rewards as profit, while your initial collateral remains untouched and ready for your next move. Why This Strategy Works ● Enhanced staking power: Bitget Crypto Loans allow you to lock more than you could with just your available funds. This strategy lets you multiply your rewards without selling any of your long-term holdings. ● Adaptable loan terms: Bitget’s range of loan options aligns with both Bitget Launchpool events and longer-term strategies, so you can choose the best loan type for your situation. ● Key Account Loan for high-value stakes: For larger investors, the Key Account Loan offers custom terms, ideal for staking substantial amounts in Launchpool. This approach maximises returns with added flexibility. ● Early access to new tokens: Bitget Launchpool frequently hosts events featuring new tokens for access to these assets early on. By borrowing funds to participate, you can capitalise on their growth potential. ● Reduced risk exposure: By borrowing funds instead of selling, you avoid liquidating any of your core holdings. This means you can benefit from staking rewards without increasing your staple crypto exposure. Example: Launchpool Arbitrage Let’s say you own 10,000 BGB and want to increase your earning potential in the USDT Newbie Pool on Bitget Launchpool. You decide to use your 10,000 BGB as collateral to borrow 8,325 USDT and take advantage of the higher APR in the USDT pool during the L3 token event.(1) Loan details: You use 10,000 BGB as collateral to borrow 8,325 USDT at a flexible loan rate of 7.84% per annum. Since this Bitget Launchpool event lasts 10 days, you’ll borrow for that period. Daily interest rate: 7.84% APR, or approximately 0.0215% per day. Daily interest: 8,325 * 0.0215% = 1.79 USDT. Total interest over 10 days: 1.79 * 10 = 17.9 USDT. Total repayment: 8,325 + 17.9 = 8,342.9 USDT. (2) Locking in Bitget Launchpool: With the borrowed 8,325 USDT, you participate in the USDT Newbie Pool, which offers an estimated APR of 68.38%. The total airdrop for this pool is 2,140,000 L3 tokens. Given the total USDT locked by all participants is approximately 8,492,345 USDT, your reward calculation is as follows:Your share of L3 tokens: (8,325 / 8,492,345) * 2,140,000 = 2,097.83 L3 tokens. (3) Profit calculation: Assuming each L3 token is valued at $0.05, the value of your rewards is: Total reward value: 2,097.83 * 0.05 = 104.89 USDT. Total loan repayment: 8,342.9 USDT. Net profit: 104.89 - 17.9 = 87 USDT. By borrowing USDT against your BGB and participating in the higher-yielding USDT Newbie Pool, you leverage your collateral to earn a substantial reward, which results in an annualised ROI of 33% - almost three times higher than the return generated from locking BGB directly. This strategy allows you to maximise returns while keeping your initial BGB holdings unchanged. Conclusion By using Bitget Crypto Loans alongside Bitget Launchpool, you can increase your staking power and amplify your earnings. Borrowing funds to lock in Bitget Launchpool events allows you to maximise your returns without touching your core assets. With Bitget Crypto Loans' flexible loan options and frequent Bitget Launchpool events, this strategy is ideal for traders looking to increase passive income and optimise their returns in the burgeoning digital space.

Supra Revolutionizes dApp Development with Launch of ‘Containers’
With MultiVM support for MoveVM and EVM dApps, Supra , the 500k TPS Layer-1 blockchain, presents Supra Containers, a revolutionary solution that may well do away with the requirement for Layer-2s (L2), Layer-3s (L3), and AppChains. Supra Containers herald a new era for dApps and on-chain development by providing builders with the flexibility of dedicated L2s and AppChains without the expensive infrastructure, fragmented liquidity, or difficult security concerns. Navigating the L2 Maze: Liquidity, Composability, and Security To get over the congestion and scalability problems they encountered on Layer-1s, builders have resorted to L2s and L3s. They quickly encountered their own set of issues, too, including the need to bootstrap network security, fragmented liquidity, and broken composability. By enabling developers to designate specific execution space for their dApps (DappSpace) and using the whole potential of Supra’s high-performance Layer-1, Supra Containers remove these obstacles. Supra Containers: Access Seamless Composability and Shared Liquidity With dedicated compute or execution space, customizable governance, and the ability to create your own token economies, Supra Containers provide the flexibility of L2s without any of the drawbacks. Builders no longer have to invest time and money in developing sophisticated bridging systems, validators, or network security from scratch. Every Container is secured by Supra’s L1 node network, allowing developers to concentrate only on creating cutting-edge dApps rather than infrastructure. Because Supra Containers preserve atomic smart contract transactions and connect easily with other Containers and Supra’s ecosystem, dApps may communicate with one another without difficulty. Supra Containers may share liquidity over the whole Supra L1 network, guaranteeing seamless operations and access to a unified pool of assets, in contrast to L2s where fragmented liquidity becomes a major detriment. Built-In Services and MultiVM Ecosystem Compatibility Additionally, Supra Containers provide a built-in, vertically integrated stack of essential blockchain services that Supra L1 natively provides, including oracle price feeds, cross-chain connectivity, onchain verifiable randomness, and automation. Containers provide these functionalities natively, saving money on the expenditures otherwise incurred on integrating these external infrastructures. This is in contrast to L2 appchains, where oracle and bridge integrations may be expensive and difficult. Because Supra is also MultiVM compatible, developers from ecosystems like MoveVM, EVM, and eventually SolanaVM will be able to deploy dApps on their own Supra Containers right now without having to worry about laborious migrations. With this flexibility, developers from different ecosystems may take use of Supra Layer-1’s 500k TPS throughput and sub-second consensus latency, launching a new wave of dApps and Containers that are scalable, effective, and interoperable. Every Supra Container Can Be an Entire Ecosystem Supra Containers have far more promise than just one or two dApps. By implementing many dApps and smart contracts within their Container, developers may even create whole ecosystems inside their custom environment. They have the ability to draw in new initiatives to implement in their infrastructure. A gaming studio, for instance, may introduce a Container as a decentralized gaming ecosystem with distinct token incentives, all the while taking use of Supra’s shared security and liquidity. They could even utilize the same utility token in numerous games inside their Container ecosystem, or even in other Containers, and gate their Container with their own onchain passes or NFTs. Joshua Tobkin, CEO of Supra, explains: “With Supra Containers, we’re not just simplifying dApp development — this might eliminate most needs for L2s and AppChains altogether. Developers now have the freedom to launch their own ecosystems with full control over governance and token economies, while enjoying the security, composability, and shared liquidity of Supra’s Layer-1 infrastructure.” A paradigm change, supra containers provide developers a quicker, less expensive, and more effective approach to create robust dApps and their own custom economies. Supra is revolutionizing the development of blockchain apps by offering dedicated execution space, customizable governance, and tokens without the trade-offs associated with conventional AppChains.
Layer3 has expanded to Solana, supporting L3 staking through Wormhole
Layer3, a distribution, identity and incentive infrastructure, announced its expansion to the Solana network. It aims to create a consumer distribution layer for the Solana protocol, supported by L3 tokens natively provided on Solana through Wormhole. This expansion brings several new features including optional token migration via Wormhole & Portal, new leaderboards, rewards, user processes and community structures as well as L3 staking on Solana through Wormhole.

Shiba Inu (CRYPTO:SHIB) has entered into a new partnership with cryptography firm Zama to enhance the security and privacy of its Shibarium layer-2 network. The collaboration will integrate Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) technology, which allows data privacy to be maintained during blockchain transactions and smart contract execution. This advancement aims to secure sensitive information such as financial data and NFT identities without exposing it on the blockchain. LUCIE, the marketing strategist for Shibarium, revealed the partnership on X (formerly Twitter), explaining the potential of FHE to strengthen the ecosystem’s privacy and governance frameworks. According to LUCIE, this partnership opens the door to various new use cases for Shibarium, including projects like Treat and Bone. "Although FHE is still evolving, its potential is substantial, and the research community is actively working to overcome the challenges associated with it," LUCIE noted. While this collaboration is seen as a step forward in securing the Shiba Inu ecosystem, SHIB’s price has declined by more than 6% over the last 24 hours, making it the worst performer in that time frame. Despite the recent dip, SHIB has maintained positive momentum over the past two weeks, thanks to recent rallies that saw its market cap temporarily exceed $12.5 billion. Shiba Inu supporters are optimistic that the Zama partnership could eventually propel the coin’s value. However, some have raised concerns about whether this development will truly enhance the security of Shibarium. LUCIE addressed these concerns by affirming that Shibarium will have more options for security and that FHE will be implemented as an L3 layer. Currently, SHIB’s market cap stands at approximately $10.8 billion, positioning it as the 14th-largest cryptocurrency despite the recent downturn. At the time of reporting, the Shiba Inu price was $0.00001815.
Shiba Inu Burn Rate Explodes 5,094% – Is a Price Rally Coming?
Last updated: September 30, 2024 10:31 EDT The price of Shiba Inu has dropped by 8% in the past 24 hours, falling to $0.00001823 on a day when the crypto market as a whole loses 3.5%. This decline hasn’t been enough to send SHIB into the red for the week, with the meme token up by an impressive 25% in seven days and by 37% in a fortnight. Such gains come off the back of a marked increase in its burn rate, which has exploded by just over 5,000% in a week. Combined with SHIB’s strong fundamentals for a meme coin, such an increase would suggest that it will recover very soon from its current dip. Shiba Inu Burn Rate Explodes 5,094% – Is a Price Rally Coming? Shiba Inu may have declined over the past day, but its indicators would suggest that it’s getting very close to a big rebound. Most notable is the convergence between its resistance (red) and support (green) levels, which will collide with each at some point tomorrow and potentially precede a big breakout. The fact that SHIB’s relative strength index (purple) has plunged to 30 this morning would suggest that a rebound is coming soon, something which chimes with the pennant formed by the resistance and support levels. Source: TradingView However, a pessimist might point to the coin’s 30-period moving average (orange), which is still above the 200-period average (blue) and which may have to come down before we see a notable recovery. One encouraging detail is that the token’s 24-hour trading volume stands at $800 million today, still up from $300 million barely a week ago. This highlights ongoing demand for SHIB, with the main factor in its recent rally being the sudden increase in its burn rate. HOURLY SHIB UPDATE $SHIB Price: $0.00001989 (1hr -0.75% ▼ | 24hr -4.14% ▼ ) Market Cap: $11,717,584,468 (-4.36% ▼) Total Supply: 589,269,169,601,825 TOKENS BURNT Past 24Hrs: 2,050,516 (-98.03% ▼) Past 7 Days: 2,019,681,290 (5094.07% ▲) — Shibburn (@shibburn) September 29, 2024 This has partly stemmed from an increase in activity on Shibarium, which had seen daily transactions spike to over 10,000 over the past week. Shibarium had introduced the Bor update in August , which implemented the mechanism which is now resulting in increased burns. This has left SHIB in a very good place in terms of its tokenomics, while its wider ecosystem is also looking promising. For instance, its team has revealed that the long-awaited SHIB: The Metaverse will launch in “ the foreseeable future .” Shib the Metaverse: Where the Community Meets, Dreams, and Schemes Let’s remind you that the Shib Ecosystem will finally launch Shib the Metaverse in the foreseeable future. And do we know a little more? Yes! If you’ve been paying attention to Shiba State posts, Treat, L3,… pic.twitter.com/E3iadQJs8u — 𝐋𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐄 (@LucieSHIB) September 29, 2024 This will be big for Shiba Inu, with the platform serving as a community-focused hub for the wider SHIB ecosystem. Combined with an increasingly positive market, the SHIB price could therefore reach $0.000030 by the end of November and $0.00004 by 2025. Bullish New Meme Tokens with Strong Fundamentals SHIB looks like it could have a strong end to the year, but it won’t be the only meme token doing well over the next few months. We’re also likely to see strong returns from certain presale coins, which can often rally big on the back of successful sales. A very good example of this comes from Crypto All-Stars (STARS), an ERC-20 coin that has now raised more than $1.8 million in its offering. Crypto All-Stars is that it’s the first token to provide a ‘MemeVault’, a protocol in which holders of any meme token can stake their funds. Crypto All-Stars makes use of the ERC-1155 multi-token standard, which enables it to tokenize any cryptocurrency, including coins that aren’t based on Ethereum. This gives the project a very wide market, and what’s exciting is that users who stake meme coins with its protocol will receive more rewards if they hold more STARS tokens. This should result in STARS experiencing big demand, with the coin having a max supply of 42.069 billion. Joining STARS’ sale is simply a matter of going to the official Crypto All-Stars website and connecting your wallet. STARS currently costs $0.001471, although its price will rise in under a day. Of course, with nearly 15,000 followers on X and a popular sale, this price could rise much higher once it lists on exchanges. Buy STARS Now Disclaimer: Crypto is a high-risk asset class.

Ethereal Exchange proposes integration with Ethena Network
Key Takeaways Ethereal proposes a 15% token allocation to ENA holders if integrated with Ethena. Ethereal aims to match centralized exchange performance with full self-custody. Share this article Ethereal Exchange has submitted a proposal to Ethena governance, seeking community approval to launch a new spot and perpetual exchange built on USDe and integrated into the Ethena hedging engine and liquidity. https://twitter.com/ethena_labs/status/1840635070698455416 The proposal introduces Ethereal as an integrated spot and perpetual futures decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the upcoming Ethena Network using USDe. Ethereal is requesting direct integration into Ethena-related reserve management from launch to provide a fully onchain venue for managing spot and derivative positions backing USDe. As part of the proposal, Ethereal is offering a 15% allocation of any potential future Ethereal governance token to circulating ENA holders. This move aims to ensure alignment between Ethena and Ethereal community stakeholders. Ethereal V1, with a testnet expected in Q4, is designed as an L3 EVM appchain settling to the Ethena Network. The exchange aims to match centralized exchange performance while maintaining complete self-custody and flexibility to support features such as cross-margin, liquidity automation, and portfolio margin. Ethereal’s architecture is reportedly capable of processing 1 million operations per second with sub-20ms latency. The proposal outlines several potential benefits for the Ethena ecosystem, including increased demand for USDe , improved decentralization through onchain management of USDe backing, and setting a precedent for other applications built using USDe on the Ethena Network. Ethereal is requesting support from the Ethena community for integration as a venue for executing hedging transactions, subject to satisfactory technical due diligence conducted by the Ethena Foundation and Risk Committee. Additionally, they are seeking technical support for deployment onto the Ethena Network to implement an integration with Ethena’s hedging engine. A snapshot for voting on the proposal is expected to be released shortly, with community members encouraged to participate in discussions on the governance forum. Share this article
