- After processing 11 billion transactions in just 7 days of testing, MegaETH will launch its mainnet on Jan 22nd.
- Instant transactions, extremely low fees.
2. @pendle_fi introduces sPENDLE
- A new system allows withdrawals after 14d, instead of long-term locking.
- Revenue is used to buy back and redistribute $PENDLE to holders.
3. @SentientAGI launches $SENT
- The $SENT token will be launched on Binance on Jan 22nd.
- It will be used for payments, staking, and governance within the AI ecosystem.

- 12 winning projects will receive $250k to develop their products.
@andrewmoh@chainlink@monacotrading We used to say crypto price feeds. now it’s equity price feeds, and that’s huge
The space is moving from experimental to enterprise‑ready global markets
Last week on @SeiNetwork:
+ $CLO from @YeiFinance shined brightest with over 200% in just a week, making up a 400% surge since launch
+ Gaming accounts for over 93% of the total transaction count on Sei
+ The Sei's MIG introduced the next line-up: the Tooling & Infrastructure system full of innovation and joy
+ Sei ranks 2nd in the Layer 1 dashboard by UAW
+ P2P stablecoin supply on @SeiNetwork surged over 152% in 6 months, sitting at over $80m
+ Sei GIGA is planned for mid-26 after Sei goes fully EVM
+ TGE wave on Sei may include the top projects, led by volume @TakaraLend, @oxiumxyz, and @monacotrading
+ Gas fee on Sei sits at $0.0001 over the last 30 days - which is 1,800 times lower than gas fee on Ethereum
Everything moves faster on Sei. ($/acc)
Within the BTCFi season on @Starknet, $LBTC accounts for the 3rd place among the BTC wrappers.
At $11.82m value, LBTC and @Lombard_Finance has a wide room to grow in the upcoming time.
The ongoing BTCFi season on Starknet feels like a potential chance for users to lend and borrow Bitcoin assets and know how the yields are looping.
Let's see how LBTC plays.
ICYMI, total bridged net flows on @0xPolygon help the network rank in 2nd place, just after Arbitrum.
This strong upfront is pushed by the new vision of Polygon introduced earlier - the Open Money Stack (OMS).
TL;DR:
+ The OMS introduces a brand-new way for global users to experience money, aiming for a 2 quadrillion volume per year
+ The OMS consists of 4 pillars: Apps layer - Financial services - Payment network - Blockchain rails
+ On-chain money ensures yields and access to all existing services
Let's welcome the new massive vision on Polygon.
I've realized the fastest path for AI to evolve comes from transparency and public experimentation.
That’s the spirit behind @nesaorg’s Playground:
A space where anyone can try things out, share what works, and help each other grow.
Instead of hiding behind private systems, every part of the process is open to learn from.
+ Feedback leads to updates
+ Good ideas get shared and improved
Progress comes from doing, tgt.
Not a game, the IP market @Kindred_AI is nominated in the Multichain report by @Dune.
Overall, Kindred has just been introduced on @SeiNetwork since Sep 30, which means less than 3 months.
Kindred attracted a wide range of fans due to their unique products:
+ over 25 iconic IPs
+ being included in the top 10 pre-TGE projects on Kaito
+ 6.78m waitlist registered on the Great Awakening
+ the first-ever IP sale - SATO with $1.86m raised
It's no surprise if Kindred maintains this position for a longer period.
Hot take: the vision of an agentic economy that @playAInetwork outlined from day one only became complete when x402 went live.
Before this, smart agents could think but couldn’t pay.
Now they operate at machine speed and settle payments natively.
Why x402 changes everything:
- AI now pays for data or execution (<$0.01)
- becomes the native payment layer for all of PlayHub.
- works seamlessly with Agentic Wallet across chains.
In the end, x402 is the economic bloodstream of PlayHub, connecting every actor with zero friction.
. @integra_layer moving forward with $TRADE staking through @Polytrade_fin marks an important opening for the ecosystem.
The model connects real-world assets and staking rewards in a practical way:
+ Stake $TRADE to earn XP and strengthen $IRL eligibility
+ Receive a direct airdrop from Polytrade’s $IRL allocation
+ Build a position in the growing real-estate tokenization layer
I view this as a test of how staking can evolve beyond yield.
When participation anchors to tangible assets, the bridge between DeFi and real-world value becomes a long-term foundation.
In the Q3 report State of Sei, the effect that gaming brings to @SeiNetwork cannot be replaced.
Thanks to gaming projects, users on Sei remain high, putting Sei always in the top 3 L1 by UAW.
In the past 30 days, UAW on Sei reaches 2.46m, facing a huge decrease but still in the 2nd position under Solana.
Talking about the most-played games on Sei:
+ @Mokoko_AI - the AI gaming studio powered by Sei, developing over 100 mini-games which can be played on mobile devices (the market that Sei is aiming at)
+ @tokentails - the cat-themed Mario-style game, already live on Apple and Google Store
+ @SeiBallerOnSEI - Web3 headball game on Sei
Overall, leading games on Sei have already launched their game with fast-paced and addictive gameplay. Guess that this is the key driving factor that pushes the UAW up.
Just a thought: if Sei can bring these games to be preinstalled on Xiaomi's devices, this could be a big move for Web3 games.
@andrewmoh@katana@rubyscore_io@spectra_finance A strong APY for stable pools today shows how yield innovation still matters.
Not every high yield is value. but this is structured with clear rewards.
I made myself clear many times before:
@Starknet has laid its foundation with staking, distributing validator roles and inviting STRK + BTC holders to help secure the network.
However, liquidity remains dormant.
@endurfi appears now, aiming to turn passive capital into productive force. 🧵
