@SergeyNazarov Can you please talk more about the LINK token and how it will capture value from all the current and future success of the protocol?@SergeyNazarov
The Tea Party begins.
$TEA is launching through Aerodrome, tea’s launch venue and launch partner.
Voting opens on May 28.
Voting will be open for one week.
TGE is June 4.
CEX listings will be announced in the coming weeks.
The course to $TEA is set.
yield basis ($YB) solved impermanent loss. 7 months live, $277m TVL, zero security incidents, fees grew 6.7x during the february crash when the token dropped 44%. counter-cyclical revenue from a working product. market cap is $10.6m. that's a 26x TVL to mcap ratio. the reason it's priced like a dead project is michael egorov has $73m in personal trading losses and a $140m liquidation event where the curve community ate $10m in bad debt. the tech is real. the discount is entirely one man's inability to stop trading with leverage. 127% token supply increase by january 2027 makes this even uglier near term. brilliant protocol held hostage by its founder's margin calls
immutable ($IMX) has 5.8m registered wallets and 700 games listed. their flagship Elowyn Alpha pulled 62,000 players over 3 months. that's 1% wallet-to-player conversion. 137m "quests played" is people clicking through airdrop tasks, not gaming. down 32.6% in Q1 at $0.18. the entire web3 gaming playbook is the same loop axie proved fatal: token incentives attract farmers, not gamers. when the quests end the wallets go dormant. Off the Grid spent $100m+ and converts 0.1% of claimed users to concurrent players. hamster kombat lost 288m users in 6 months. billions in funding and not one project has solved the core problem. you cannot pay people to have fun. when the yield stops the "ecosystem" evaporates. gaming was supposed to onboard the next billion. instead it onboarded mercenaries who left the second rewards dried up.
solana ($SOL) is shipping a 700x capacity upgrade and the market is pricing it like a shitter chain at 2.5-year lows on SOL/BTC. firedancer targets 1m TPS vs current 1,300 TPS production. live on testnet. $1m audit bounty open. full release 2026. alpenglow already shipped sub-200ms finality on mainnet in Q1. validator costs dropped 98% from $60k/year to $1k/year. $1.1t in on-chain economic activity last quarter. $832b stablecoin volume. 99% tokenized equities market share. JPMorgan, B2C2, SoFi, Western Union all chose solana for settlement infrastructure. 416 new projects added in Q1, most of any chain. shitter volume share dropped from 70% to 20% and the builders kept building. the meme tourists left. the infrastructure stayed. 12-18 month accumulation play at a 71% discount from ATH

Curious thing:
* If you enter when pools are imbalanced - you need more crvUSD. If TRD is -1%: you need 2% more crvUSD. If TRD is -15%: you need 32% more crvUSD when entering. Good for peg!
* If you enter when pool are imbalanced - you can earn TRD back. E.g. entering at TRD=-15% and waiting till TRD=0 makes you realize +15% profit. A curious feature some might not know
Since 2025, if you bought every token sale on CoinList, Legion, MetaDAO, and BuidlPad, you would be down 46%.
Of the 41 token sales in this period, only 6 are above the initial sale price.
Perhaps most notable is that 4 out of these 6 launches were @MetaDAOProject launches: $OMFG, $AVICI, $UMBRA, $RNGR.
UPDATE #2: As predicted, $YB is now trading at the Binance sale price of $0.10 🥺
On April 1st about 10.5m YB tokens become🔓for devs and investors, and by January 1st 2027 total unlock will be ~200m tokens 😬
Like I mentioned before: the real risk here for $crvUSD is once staked YieldBais LPs start withdrawing their BTC as the token APR is no longer worth the risk.
Note: 60%+ of all $BTC on deposit in @yieldbasis is staked!
This means most LPs are not interested in the trading fees, but simply farm-dump the YB emissions as long as there is exit liquidity from retail.
This doesn't end well.....
$CRV $cbBTC $wBTC $tBTC
VELO down 45% since merger announcement, AERO up 20%. both roll into same token april 1. $17.5m mcap VELO gets 5.5% of merged entity worth $316m+. conversion ratio announcement in 2-3 weeks is the catalyst. market priced this like VELO holders get nothing when they get full exposure to base + ethereum mainnet expansion.
