Strong winds reveal strong grass, and turbulent times reveal loyal ministers. After a week of volatility, Bitcoin remained at 66K. Even with two major negative events, Tether and the war, it still did not fall out of the range. Two weeks before the election, most media currently believe that Trump is in the lead. The best scenario is to see a new high before the election, and then there will be a wave of altcoins after Trump wins the election. 1. For MEME Coin, Bybits ecological niche has been infinitely improved. The Vol gap between Bybit contract and Binance contract is not large, and the Bar of listing is much lower. The secondary opportunities brought by Bybit contract/spot will be greater. For MEME with 100M+, Bybit is the best fuel. After the first wave of great leaps forward, the corresponding Moonshot has slowed down the growth rate of transaction volume and user volume, the speed of listing has slowed down, and the comfort zone has been reduced to 20-50M. 2. With Bitcoin performing well, there may be greater opportunities for public chain-public chain ecology in exchanges. The continued popularity of SOL has caused the on-chain transaction volume of 7D MA to reach a high point on July 15 (the number of active addresses has continued to reach a new high). Looking back at the high point of transaction volume at that time, the price reached a new high. SOLL-SUI-others, public chains are always the track with the most ammunition and the clearest path on the second level. Pay attention to the shouting direction of trading KOLs. 3. The best choice for MEME is still AI-related. AI mainly relies on imagination. Here, there needs to be a project that relies on a larger narrative to enter the 100-500M queue. The second is cults. Cults are very resilient. If there is no large-scale outflow of funds after a few weeks of silence, there will be more opportunities. Pay attention to projects from Cabal to consensus. At present, several candidates for SOL AI have stalled, waiting for a stronger narrative and a more serious Cabal on SOL (it is necessary to think clearly whether DEVs selling of coins is a wash or a smash). In addition, there is an opportunity for the revival of older on-chain AI projects. Perhaps the odds of the old AI targets of TAO/ETH being revived are good. In my opinion, art MEME is the continuation of Cats and Dogs. From this perspective, BSCs Cheems is worthy of attention. It features high consensus outside the circle + high community concentration + strong leaders. It is difficult to become a hot spot, but once it becomes a hot spot, the potential increase will be very exaggerated.(来源:

Why cant $ETH rise in this cycle? The answer is actually in the last round of DeFi summer. How did $ETH rise before: - The epidemic caused a large amount of US dollars to be released, the money supply and liquidity were sufficient, and the risk asset category rose - Ethereum PoW ≈ deposit, fiat currency is used to buy mining machines to mine ETH - The overflow of funds from the rise of BTC drove up the price of altcoins - DeFi innovation led by AMM has become the mainstream technology altcoin narrative, attracting the most attention and hot money - DeFi has greatly increased the adoption of EVM, increased on-chain activity and gas consumption, and increased protocol revenue - lp mining (especially mining the first mine) has a wealth effect - Contract interaction to obtain airdrops has a wealth effect (typical case ENS), and wool rolling has begun to become an industry - NFT has a wealth effect, and NFTs priced and traded in ETH are containers of ETH, and people began to evaluate assets based on e-standards - On-chain lending provides DeFi users with about 0.7-0.8 times spot leverage, accelerating ETH The standard spirals upward (of course, it also plummets when it falls, the on-chain leverage is liquidated in succession, and on-chain lending is 90% responsible for the oversold in the last bear market) The first principle of price is the relationship between supply and demand. The essence of Ethereums rise is the explosion of demand for ETH: - ETHs application scenarios explode: gas, ETH pair lp, on-chain lending collateral, and NFT trading all require ETH - The wealth effect drives demand: DeFi mining, protocol interaction airdrops, blue-chip NFTs... have been producing wealth-making myths, driving the explosion of ETH demand. As long as the wealth effect does not stop, the demand explosion will not stop - Locking ETH supply on the chain: ETH pair lp, purchasing NFT, and mortgage lending lock up ETHs liquidity, reducing ETH supply - Macroeconomic cycle: macro-release, mortgage lending releases liquidity, and BTC profit-taking increases U supply The logical relationship between the above elements is: 1. New technologies, new narratives, new assets, and new asset issuance methods are non-consensus. Only non-consensus can have wealth effects. Broad consensus does not exist 100× 1. The opportunity of buying new rather than old. 2. The early wealth effect attracts hot money and stupid money, and fomo begins, and the wealth effect expands. 3. Exchanges (mainly bn, upbit, and coinbase) intensively list coins, first-line VCs hold heavy positions, and project parties gather together, forming a trend. 4. The whole process is accompanied by a continuous increase in ETH demand and supply lock-up, entering a positive growth flywheel, and ETH becomes the most certain alpha asset. 5. There is one most important premise for the above 1-4 to be established: in the right macro cycle, the following questions are here: - Which chain has the most attention and hot money now? - Which chain has the biggest wealth effect? Most likely to generate Fomo emotions? - Which chain has non-consensus opportunities such as new technologies, new narratives, new assets, or new asset issuance methods? - Which chains native coin demand is increasing? - Which chains project parties and VCs are starting to gather together for layout? If your answer is not $ETH, then you will naturally know the reason why $ETH cannot rise. Roadmap, token economics, performance improvement, composability, interoperability, dating, selling coins, foundation style... all become a way to avoid the main issue in the face of the simple supply and demand relationship. The answer is simple: there are many participants who need the security of Ethereum, such as L2s, but when the bull market comes, almost everyones demand for $ETH coin decreases. Has anyone seen that staking/re-staking can bring wealth effects and create wealth myths? Eigen Layer puts the final end to this issue. Will Ethereum rise in the future? I dont know, but we do have to gradually accept a fact: people no longer need Nokia that much.(来源:

What Pump.fun really wants to replace is not the value coin organized by VC, but the users and liquidity of high-leverage contracts. Playing Pump is more volatile and has a faster cycle than 100x leverage. The user profiles of the two products are extremely similar. In the next six months, CEXs contract trading DAU and profits will decline sharply. The once most profitable business now has to face the frustration of being powerless against dimensionality reduction attacks.

《Why are some airdrops effortless? Hit the opportunity of the mid-chain ecosystem》 I have a feeling that when the trend of a chains parent currency is strong, the pattern of the projects above will also become larger accordingly, which is reflected in the simple conditions for airdrops divided into two groups, or the opening price rises well, and active chain ecosystem users can really make money without doing anything. I have verified this logic in the ETH main chain era, the BSC era, the SOL original era and the Renaissance era, and have reaped the dividends. Recently, I feel that @SuiNetwork also has this intention. Yesterday, a project @DeepBookonSui on SUI issued airdrops to a large number of users who participated in defi activities on sui. Although the conditions of the airdrops are unclear, most of those who have played @navi_protocol have received tokens worth more than 100 U at the time. Moreover, in the past day, the price of $DEEP has tripled, turning fast food into pigs feet rice, especially the brothers with more accounts are comfortable. The most important thing is that this airdrop really did not do any PUA, it was pure pie in the sky. Then, also yesterday, the top perp project @bluefinapp on SUI directly airdropped 500,000 $PYTH to the community x.com/bluefinapp/sta… I got a few hundred of them, but I just brushed some trading volume before, and I was a little confused about the money. (Here is a small advertisement for bluefin, the British team is quite down-to-earth). Why are there no big airdrops on ETH/SOL/BSC that used to make money easily? Because the local currency has risen, the process of sub-coin distribution for infrastructure has mostly ended. Other public chains still have the opportunity to enjoy the Davis double-click. Although I have heard some rumors recently about the project party pulling the market in order to ship $SUI at a high level. Regardless of whether it is true or not, from the three-plate theory, pulling the parent coin, and then pulling the sub-coin to drive the parent coin to continue to rise is in line with the interests of all parties. We users only need to step on the trend wave at the right time to enjoy the push-back feeling with half the effort. Who will benefit from the next main chain + ecological dividend wave? The un-coined project that I am looking forward to is @movementlabsxyz, which will probably hold a TGE next month. As for those that have already issued coins, it is not clear which one has officially launched, but SUI has set an example for everyone. There are so many L2 king projects, and it is difficult to replicate SUIs success if you dont know how to operate. As far as I know, some chains are already negotiating OTC deals with VCs, so we will have to wait and see whether they can succeed.(来源:

I think the most important thing in web3 game data is not DAU, not on-chain data, and not even the floor of NFT. The first is retention. Talking about data without retention is just a hooliganism. How many games can still maintain retention after airdrop activities? The second is payment data or the revenue ability of the project party. The revenue here does not include revenue from tokens. On the basis of retention, everything becomes meaningful. Dont lie to yourself!(来源:

[Open Source Scythe 21 - Why do pre-TGE communities often become abandoned?] The controversy over Scrolls airdrop actually fully demonstrates that before the liquidity related to the main currency is generated, any pre-TGE community is actually meaningless. This has been confirmed countless times in practice. If you dont believe it, look at: Sui, the three rounds of testnet did not give any airdrops, only whitelisted users of exchanges and Discord activities, causing early users of the entire network to curse SuiScam. But after the listing, Cetus IDO plus Bullperk user rewards increased the usage and TVL, successfully reversing the trend of APT. The test network mint NFT was given a minimum living allowance. However, after the main network, a wave of mojito rug and subsequent projects were weak, and it once became a Korean meme coin. So far, the ecosystem has not improved except for sporadic Thala, Tugou GUI, and DOODOO. Merlin, in the early stage, had the strongest community consensus in the entire BTC, but the opening generously distributed community airdrops (even when some TVL big holders did not cash in the airdrops), and the price did not maintain, and was still scolded by the whole network (because many pledged assets returned to zero). Whether to issue airdrops to early users will be scolded; the reputation of the project in the later stage has no direct relationship with whether to issue airdrops or not, but only with the expectation management and the cluster bound by token interests in the later stage. The purpose of the project to do community and data in the early stage is to negotiate with the exchange as a bargaining chip. There is no doubt that the means serve the purpose, which has nothing to do with whether the project party is arrogant or not. Loyalty is not absolute, that is, absolutely disloyalty. Only communities that are bound to the project’s liquidity are real communities. This is mostly impossible before TGE. Second, the project side is actually unable to deliver redeemable and transparent rules in advance. Being a user is for listing on exchanges, and exchanges have different listing strategies every quarter and every month. Whether your project is good or not is one thing, but what really determines whether you can be listed is your fit with the current listing strategy and the cost you are willing to pay for it (part of the strategy). This cost may not be known for a week or even a few days before TGE. So @jason_chen998’s retelling of @yezhang1998’s bitterness is completely true. You think you are working for the project side, but you don’t know that the entire industry, including the polychain Ethereum Foundation, is working for Binance. Third, this problem is more troublesome for L2. Its gas is basically BTC and ETH, and the main trading pair quote tokens are also. That means that after the L2 main currency is launched, it is impossible to distribute it like APT or SUI, at least because it needs to be split and issued with holding logic. After the L2 main currency is launched, all secondary retail positions can be regarded as selling pressure. Why do you think L2 will generously send you airdrops? Therefore, if you are a user and you think that the airdrop logic on the project side mentioned in Open Source Scythe 13 and 16 is too complicated, then remember: 1. Dont try to get project coins that cannot be used for splitting, such as most Layer2 2. Do tasks that generate real money and real transactions, but dont make the single task large, but wide-ranging 3. If possible, become a project party, become a kol, and be the one who can threaten the project partys coin listing process from public opinion 4. Keep a normal mind, Scroll is not the first, and it will definitely not be the last. Think about Pinduoduos cuts. If you know its a scam, will your mother stop sending you links? IceFrog said it well, Power is only responsible to the source of power. It will be good for you to understand this early(来源:

The recent MEME market opportunities are indeed good, but I will continue to hold a large position in A shares, and play with small-cap MEME as if playing mahjong. The idea is roughly like this: Beta: - Cryptocurrency Beta Subjectively feel that the certainty and upside before the election are not high. Even if there is a wave, whether from the on-chain data or from the macro US stock cycle, it will be the last wave of this round. Dont worry about not being able to buy 60,000 bitcoins in the next bear market MEME: - The $BOME level in the first half of the year, which has both certainty and the ability to take positions, has not yet appeared on the chain. It requires time for liquidity to overflow, which is not available at present. - The current way of playing is still to focus on small-for-big opportunities on the chain. Such opportunities do not require particularly large positions. The maximum is 100,000 US dollars. If it is larger, it will be used for exit liquidity. - If your strategy is to take 1% of the chips for each MEME, you will lose money very quickly. - The current MEME market, especially the sustainability of the old coin archaeology market, requires the continuous cooperation of large exchanges, but the paradox is that Gotbit caused the deceleration, and secondly, it is impossible for everyone to perform the money-making effect like lowercase. Listing will definitely slow down. Shanzhai: - Even if it starts, there were only a few sectors at the beginning of the bull market last year, such as inscriptions 3-5x, and the general rise was after January. - Lowercase MEME, which is within the institute, is also classified as Shanzhai here. This kind of opportunity to take a large position has a good wealth-creating effect, but it is hard to come by. There are so many new CEX coins this year, that is, lowercase and NOT. Lowercase is lowercase, and the next one will not be lowercase. It is likely to be a coin welcome ceremony. A shares: - The first wave of 2600-3700 seems to be over, and subsequent policies will definitely come, and the largest buyers of monetary policy have not started buying yet. As for whether it is effective or not, that is another matter. So I personally think it will not fall back. It may fluctuate at 3000-3200 for a while and then go up. The bottom is likely to be in this range. As for how much it can rise, this is a theological category-If the situation changes drastically, I want to switch from ASHR / CNXT / 2823 / 3191, which is much easier than you, that is, SELL + BUY $IBIT.(来源:

As stupid as I am, I finally brainwashed myself successfully when I was actively building the Cheems community this week. I boldly predicted that this round of bull market will be a meme bull market. There will be no more copycat bull markets. There may be phenomenal applications, but liquidity will be firmly concentrated in the memecoin track. Smart institutional friends have already laid out in advance. Whether you are a VC or a liquid fund, if you want to be responsible for LP, please boldly lay out meme. After participating in meme, don’t be a dull person who only buys but doesn’t speak. This kind of big investor should be despised the most. After buying tokens, you should go to cx. How do you write investment research articles that you don’t believe in to cx infra? How should you use your influence to cx memecoin? I believe everyone can do it well. The most important thing is that you have doubted your life for so long and have taken such a long vacation. When you really get addicted, you will find that the meme community is the happiest place in the currency circle. This kind of belief and passion that does not require thinking can sweep away your doubts about the prospects of the industry, increase dopamine, and regain the feeling of youth. A month ago, I was still very reserved about CX, and felt it was shameful to do this. Now I realize how naive I was. This is the most noble behavior in the industry and a prerequisite for the bull market you are all looking forward to. Just getting on the train without CX is equivalent to getting it for free, which is the tragedy of the commons. Happiness and faith are gained in the process of building. Even if the money is gone in the end, at least you still have that wonderful time.(来源:

OKX Wallet @okxweb3 This authorization risk reminder is very good, reminding you that the DApps you have authorized in the past have not been used for more than a month. You should check and cancel them. When the Gas is not high, it is most appropriate to cancel the historical authorization. However, there are two points to note: 1. Some actually have no authorization quota (or the authorization quota is limited), and the authorization is a well-known protocol, so it is not critical to cancel it or not. It is a good habit to review this yourself and combine it with @RevokeCash. 2. If you encounter the situation where Gas is cheated when canceling authorization, you must pay attention. This situation often occurs in messy garbage airdrop tokens. When canceling authorization, pay attention to whether the Gas is unusually high... If it is, dont continue and ignore it.(来源:

The crypto field has actually been in a state of pulling and swinging. This is not a phenomenon unique to this cycle. Todays state is the result of gradual evolution over the past decade. The crypto field was initially supported and developed by the community. Ethereum itself was also born out of ICO funding, which also reflects the original community spirit of the crypto field. But later, due to the chaos of ICO, supervision was attracted, which led to the entry of VC, a web2 institution. Originally, there should not be VC in the crypto field, but supervision led to the enhancement of VC. VC therefore had the opportunity to obtain regulatory arbitrage, but it did not change the uneven status quo of crypto projects. Instead, it made some retail investors who could have participated at a lower price suffer. It also led to some VCs in this cycle gaining a crushing price advantage in the crypto field. However, due to the high FDV, the market was seriously dissatisfied. Although some projects may be of good quality, retail investors abandoned VC coins and turned to meme. This is a kind of resistance and another form of ICO. But the disadvantages are also obvious. Most memes cannot provide value continuously, and their upper limits are ultimately limited. Therefore, due to this pull, the crypto field has entered a state of swinging back and forth. This discomfort is directly reflected in the market. The scale and scope of the wealth effect have dropped significantly, which in turn leads to a lack of sufficient attraction for the inflow of external funds, resulting in the overall loneliness and confusion of the market. To break this state, VCs and project parties need to lower their expectations, lower their initial valuations, and give the market enough space, but this is difficult to do. The decline can only be achieved through market depression, so there will be a slightly longer waiting period and a more confused market. The above is a relatively negative industry state, but even so, the growth of the entire industry is visible to the naked eye. Ethereum has solved the scalability problem to a certain extent in just one cycle, while also taking into account decentralization and security, which provides a solid foundation for the outbreak of applications in the next cycle. This is a remarkable achievement. L2 does not explode in this cycle, but it does not mean that there will be no opportunities in the future. In addition to the gradual improvement of infrastructure, the application aspect is also developing well. In addition to the continued development of dex, perp and lending in the DeFi field, stablecoins have become the largest application case in the entire encryption field. In the future, the penetration rate of crypto payments will further develop. With the continuous investment and exploration in RWA, AI, depin and games, there will be a high probability of considerable breakthroughs in the next two to three years. The decentralized prediction market polymarket has only made a small start, and more breakthroughs are on the way. In general, the native spirit of the crypto field is blood-suppressed by the power of the traditional world, and it is almost impossible to develop independently. In this gap, it can only compromise partly, and then gradually integrate and reshape the traditional world. In this process, with the gradual improvement of infrastructure such as Ethereum, various new things will gradually be born and developed. This is an evolution that is not subject to human will. The universe is transformed, and all things are born together.(来源:

First of all, we need to understand the current structure of the cryptocurrency projects. It is nothing more than a process where a VC pays a project party with resources to conduct marketing, find KOLs to shout orders, and sell on the exchange. @binance acts as a referee in the middle because of its monopoly position, and has made a lot of money in recent years. In fact, the $NEIRO conspiracy group just did what the VC and the project party did minus the middleman, allowing retail investors and KOLs to get chips early, and not giving them to these VCs who smash the market, but directly giving them to KOLs to shout orders. People who enter early are similar to VCs, getting early chips, and also joining the shouting, and profiting from the rise. Are the VC coins with a market value of billions of dollars on @binance @binancezh better than the conspiracy group? Isnt it good to let retail investors directly become VCs to speculate on their own meme coins? Must they take over the air coins of VCs? Arent they all memes? VCs finance the project party, and the project party uses the financing money to go to the exchange, do marketing, find KOLs to shout orders, and finally go to Binance to let VCs sell to retail investors. The conspiracy group snipes 75% in the early stage, and uses this part of the chips to exchange for the support of big KOLs, and uses the money from the early sales to list on the exchange, marketing and operation. Without money, who can support this project? Even the market maker cannot be found, let alone listing on the exchange! Everything costs money. The currency circle is a process of continuous manipulation. It just depends on who is the person who manipulates the market. There is no VC in $NEIRO. Everyone is a VC. At least retail investors who follow the conspiracy group can make money. A main force leads a group of retail investors to pull the market together from the beginning, which is much better than VC. FDV listing on Binance is much better than directly smashing the market. Binance enjoys the feeling of acting as a referee in VC coins. It has always monopolized and dominated the market. The VC coins they recognize are value coins. The project parties have been kneeling to Binance, and the VC coins they do not recognize are nothing. Now they want to do the same in the meme market. This is the truth of the so-called CTO community takeover. I will expose several official projects that are involved in the backstage to warn you. As for the lowercase $Neiro, the main force has been replaced by Binance itself. Otherwise, with such strict coin listing review, who will sign the documents and who will provide market makers? There is no CTO in the world. When more people believe in it, there will be a CTO. This world is made up of different conspiracy groups, and the winners will be kings and the losers will be bandits.

Unisats Conspiracy, Do You Play or Not? Since I wrote this article, many people in the community have asked me whether I should play now that CAT20 is so popular and all kinds of proxy players have come out? I saw a CAT20 market value calculation chart from @TuTuGe123 and borrowed it for use. At the beginning, people who played CAT20 had less than 10 gas. The gas was 300 at noon the day before yesterday, 2000 yesterday, and 5000 today. So the market value is estimated to be close to 10 million dollars. Is it possible to continue to rise? It is not ruled out. After all, the logic of small-cap stocks pulling the big market, at least CAT20 has a significant consumption effect on $FB. After playing, people with low costs in the early stage also have a strong motivation to spend some money to pull the market and form fomo in the secondary market. However, the cost of playing now is more than 10 times that of the early stage. Those who rush now can only hope that the market maker has a big pattern. On the contrary, for this conspiracy played by Unisat, I think the price of $FB will not fall in the short term. After all, as long as small-cap stocks continue to be released in the future, it will be enough to consume. After CAT20 comes the inscription, and after the inscription comes the NFT, one after another waiting for you to roll and gamble. In addition, here are two more guesses: 1. Currently, many of the big players who play CAT20 are miners, so the dealer is likely to be in this group. Originally, the $FB in their hands was mined for free, and using it to play CAT20 is equivalent to directly reinvesting to expand the income. And mining CAT20 is a threshold for most people, but it is basically equal to zero threshold for them. A considerable part of the early low-cost chips may be in their hands. If I were a miner, I would definitely not miss such a deterministic opportunity. How sweet it would be to expand the plate with unisat, and wait for more retail investors to come in and make a big profit? 2. So far, $FB has been discussed lively enough in the Chinese circle, but except for Coinex, a third-tier small CEX with the background of a miner boss, no familiar CEX has been launched. Dotswap trading experience is not good. Sesame @gate_io has opened recharge for 2 days, and there is no mention of when trading will be opened. I suspect that Unisat is following the classic operation route of mining coins, that is, deliberately not listing on CEX, artificially making trading liquidity more difficult. Friends who have experience in playing POW coins should understand what I mean. Didn’t the large number of POW coins force everyone to register for those wild exchanges developed and operated by one person? Even $KAS was not traded by any big exchanges in the early days. In short, Unisat’s operation rhythm is good this time. It feels like there are people who know the business behind it. It should be able to play for a while. The miners are the biggest beneficiaries. I just need to wait for the little leeks to take a bite when I see the opportunity. You must know that their chip cost advantage is too great. Don’t take the bait and get yourself involved.(来源:

A simple understanding of dAppOS: Intent-centric infrastructure Paradigm proposed an intent-centric narrative, and Polychain and projects also promoted its implementation, one of which is dAppOS invested by PolyChain. dAppOS is an intent-centric project. Polychains previous investment in Celestial promoted the modular track, the investment in Eigenlayer promoted the re-staking track, and the investment in TAO promoted the AI track. Can the investment in dAppOS this time promote the development of the intent track? Only time can tell us the answer. How to understand the intent-centric narrative of dAppOS? There are several points worth noting: 1. dAppOS is an intent execution network and an infrastructure to improve user experience. dAppOS itself is not complicated to understand. It is an intent execution network that creates a two-sided market. The reason why this two-sided market exists is that there are some obstacles between the results that users want and the complexity of execution. Through this intent execution network, dAppOS helps users get the final results without consuming complex intermediate execution, improving user experience; at the same time, it also allows service providers who help complete tasks to get corresponding income. This is a win-win market. Through dAppOS, users can use their assets in various dApps on various chains, use any assets to pay gas fees, and complete all transactions with one signature without paying attention to intermediate operations. Examples like these are a major improvement to the current user experience. With the increasing complexity of defi, the existence of multiple L2s and multiple chains, and the increase in various intermediate operation steps in the crypto field, this bilateral market that simplifies user experience has a growing demand. From the above description, it can be seen that dAppOS is an underlying infrastructure. Based on the task execution network, a variety of user-centered intent products can be built to enhance the user experience in the crypto field. 2. dAppOSs Intent Task Framework So far, dAppOS has three intent task frameworks: intent assets, intent transactions, and intent-centered dApp interactions. Perhaps in the future, more task frameworks will be generated based on the scale and urgency of user needs. * Intent Assets is one of the most important intent task frameworks of dappOS. Intent Assets can be regarded as a kind of asset that is profitable and tradable. The reason why it can achieve both is mainly due to the use of dappOSs intent execution network. For example, IntentUSD is an intention USD asset. On the one hand, it can obtain USD-based income (similar to Yue Bao, users can automatically obtain corresponding interest income after depositing), and at the same time it has the flexibility to circulate at any time, and can be withdrawn to other addresses as USDT or USDC; it can be used as lending, contract margin, etc. This has a certain effect on activating currently idle assets such as USDT and USDC. At present, about 50% of USDT in the Ethereum ecosystem lies in users independent wallets, without earning income in CEX or contracts, with a scale of about more than 50 billion US dollars; about 60% of USDC lies in users independent wallets, with a scale of about 20 billion US dollars. In other words, about 70 billion US dollars of funds are idle and have not obtained the income they should have. If part of these funds are converted into IntentUSD, they can obtain income and can be used at any time when they need to be transferred. In addition to USD, ETH and BTC can also become intention assets, bringing convenience to users. For example, pledged ETH can obtain good income, but if you want to circulate it at any time, it often has high wear and tear. Through Intent ETH, you can use it at any time while earning income. This is done through the intent network execution, and users only need to care about the results (income + available at any time). * Intent trading users can achieve the best transaction cost when trading spot. That is, using the intent execution network, users can achieve their transactions at a lower cost through task service providers. * Intent-centric dApp interaction users can interact with dApp seamlessly, avoiding the complexity of direct interaction with the blockchain. With the increase of chains and L2, the interaction is becoming more and more complex, and more and more things can be done. Execution through the intent network can save users a lot of complex interaction troubles. From this perspective, as long as the intent execution network finds the users pain points, it has the opportunity to form an intention product with better user experience. 3. Optimistic Minimum Stake Mechanism and the Operation of the Intent Execution Network dAppOS has launched Optimistic Minimum Stake. In dAppOS, a network for user intent execution, the benefit of optimistic minimum staking is that it helps active task service providers to obtain more income and users to have a better experience. For task service providers, if they fail to help users complete tasks, they will be punished; on the contrary, if they successfully complete tasks, they will be rewarded. This reward and punishment mechanism is also a good thing for active task service providers, because as user experience and confidence improve, more users will join, and more user participation will bring more income to task service providers. For users, if the task is successful, they can easily and conveniently achieve the desired results, pay some fees (or even save fees) to get better results; if the task fails, they can get a certain amount of compensation from the staking penalty on the task service provider. This mechanism gives participating users better confidence and experience. In summary, the OMS mechanism is not only the underlying security mechanism of dAppOS, but also a driving force for promoting the intention execution market.(来源:

If I were to describe Sony Chain Soneium in one sentence, it would be a Gas-free Ethereum Layer2 for 1 billion non-circle users. Behind it sits Sony and Samsung, whose revenue is trillions of yen. Although I have little experience in Web3, I have made the public chain gas-free, and that is my Web2 territory. Want to deploy applications on the chain? You need to get a white ticket from the official to do it. All applications are to C, and users can deposit fiat currency seamlessly.(来源:

🌟What should VC do in the face of the Telegram incident🌟 Thanks to @FC_0x0 of @SevenXVentures for starting a good topic. 1️⃣ Let me first state a few basic facts🌱 @Telegram is a communication tool that most ordinary people in the world use to resist censorship, and it is an important means for citizens of the earth to obtain freedom of speech. 🌱Users of the entire Telegram ecosystem are an important source of new users in the cryptocurrency market. 🌱More than 90% of cooperative communications in the entire cryptocurrency market are based on Telegram. This software serves as a communication channel for the cryptocurrency market. 🌱Telegram did not fall into a state of suspension and unavailability due to @durovs arrest. 🌱Although Telegram does not own @heyibinance like @binance. Dont forget that he still has a brother @Kolja_Durov who can still stabilize the morale of the troops. With the recognition of the team and sufficient funds, Telegram has enough time to defend itself. 🌱 @durov has citizenship in four countries, namely Russia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, France, and the United Arab Emirates. With sufficient funds, connections, and reputation, there is a certain amount of room for bargaining under the Western legal system. 🌱 France is not a dictatorship. If France really imposes severe sanctions on @durov, then whether France can operate normally in the European Union and how other countries view this issue. Is free capital willing to accept such unwarranted accusations? Think about a certain big country and the current situation of foreign capital flight. 2️⃣ The basic facts are stated. @ton_blockchain can be understood as @telegrams behavior to obtain more funds for listing. It can also be understood that @ton_blockchain is providing a new entrance for everyone to enter the world of cryptocurrency. Whether it is narrative logic, the industry status of telegram as a whole, or the future development prospects of cryptocurrency. #TON is a good choice in the current context. Whether it is this world or the cryptocurrency industry. Everyone is just picking the less rotten peaches among the rotten peaches. At this time, whether #TON is worth holding for a long time depends on everyones understanding. 3️⃣ According to the traditional AHR999 Index, the current market is relatively mid-range, not the high point of the bull market. Is it a wise choice to sell #TON at this time? I cant give advice, I can only explain the basic facts. https://coinglass.com/pro/i/ahr999 4️⃣ In the cryptocurrency industry, the general narrative direction of the future is that everyone can own assets that truly belong to them, have an independent personality, true freedom of speech, and fight against the censorship of powerful governments. Under the logic of the future grand narrative, both @telegram and @ton_blockchain theoretically occupy an important ecological niche. 🌱 How to choose, the button is in the hands of the VCs, I am just expressing my understanding.(来源:

Dogs is a platform for exchanges to catch all the active TG users. Since exchanges think that TG users can bring incremental growth, compared to the quality of the number of people claimed by DD, it is better to use airdrops to make vampire attacks, and guide them all at once without distinguishing between good and bad, and then let the exchanges see the performance. What are the advantages of TG? I think it is the cheap traffic pool and the rapid internal backflow. What are the disadvantages? I think it is that it is difficult to educate users to become users that exchanges like. Therefore, the logic of listing TG projects on exchanges should be how to make users willing to pay (reflecting the income of the protocol) and reach high-quality users of TG (reflected in the ability to directly link TG accounts and exchange accounts). The advantage of Dogs gameplay is that it is fast to be listed on the exchange, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult for the team to change the currency out of their pants (full circulation + selling coins + airdrops are not easy to do tricks), and it offends all projects in the same track, because no matter how strong the willingness of other projects to pay is and how the conversion rate is, the exchange can let them submit a list of high-value users, and then compare it with the deposit of Dogs to know whether the user is a high-quality user and whether there is an expectation to trade on the exchange. This gameplay is quite difficult, requiring operations, rhythm, and understanding of the track. This is another example of a project that has perfected the track.(来源:

Babylon is a project with the biggest information gap recently. Some people probably didn’t read the documents and white papers at all, but interpreted it as a positive inscription for the Bitcoin ecosystem. Some also said that Babylon is a BTC L2 or expansion solution. To be correct and rational, the biggest potential customers of Babylon are PoS chains such as Cosmos. The most intuitive improvement is to reduce the staking lock time of PoS by mitigating long-range attacks.(来源:

If you search for polymarket, you will find that a lot of people have written tutorials for you to gamble, but there is no tutorial on how to open a gambling game. I believe that many VC bros are jealous of polymarkets financing of more than 70 million US dollars, thinking that this is a hot spot, and they are studying how to invest in the next potential prediction market here, but it is very likely that they have not invested a penny to play 😆 It is very simple to play, register an account, deposit, and open a gambling game, fool-proof operation. But what many people dont know is how difficult it is to open a market. You have to join their discord, write a short essay and submit it to one of their submission channels. It will be put on the official website after the official staff reviews it. There was a big fight last night. I wanted to submit a market, but the process was too complicated and the timeliness was very low. Moreover, the reviewer of polymarket was a foreigner, who probably couldnt understand what we were arguing about, and it ended up in vain. If a Chinese team were to do this polymarket, at least they would open the entrance to create market on the official website and give you a set of templates to fill in. On the other hand, @thecryptoskanda, the boss, used pumpfun to publish in a few minutes, while I am still waiting for their mod reply in the polymarket discord 😅 This is the disadvantage of being too centralized. Moreover, even if I publish successfully, this market will probably think that the liquidity is too low and no one will care. The head effect of the prediction market is very strong. The liquidity of the US presidential election market is very strong, but the liquidity of the China-US Olympic Games gold medal competition I played a few days ago is much worse (of course I bet on China to win and lost 5u). To be honest, except for the ability to deposit and withdraw funds with cryptocurrencies, polymarket does not see any difference from the traditional prediction gambling market. From this point of view, I have a small idea, can we combine the advantages of polymarket and pumpfun? The advantages of pump are decentralization, strong timeliness, strong liquidity, and low opening cost; the advantages of polymarket are binary option gambling and strong real correlation. The pros and cons each pump one coin, and the settlement will be made after the official result comes out, and all the losers will be transferred to the winners🧐🧐 The innovation of blockchain is really boring now. Polymarket, a product with little technical content, extremely centralized, and average user experience, can be praised as a god🙃(来源:
