@majinbysoto this looks amazing ! keep m coming...

[Majin 魔人 @majinbysoto]

This was the very first character design that we conceptualized for Majin. The goal was primarily to test our unique color palette and understand how much design complexity we can add.
That last part is important, because in addition to our PFPs and anime, we are working on manga too. And for that you have to retain a certain degree of efficiency when the same character has to be drawn over and over again in different panels and poses.
Which means; if the outfit or other traits are excessively complex, either consistency or quality will suffer in the long run — or you will slow down production significantly for potentially little gains in aesthetics.
In the end, great design is always inspired by a degree of simplicity anyways. That's exactly what makes it so hard. Because you want unique and memorable characters, but at the same time have to achieve that without adding too many layers.
For animations it's also advantageous if a character is immediately recognizable without the full depth of detail. Especially since certain studios are infamous for pretty sloppy frames, and because you cannot expect the technical execution later to honor the same artistic detail as the manga or PFPs.
I learned a lot from these earlier stages of our creative processes and I'm happy to say that we significantly refined our artistic approach since then. Even the Fallen Angel design is still being reworked to minimize complexity and to maximize recognizability. It's worth spending time on this, because it will massively enhance the individual trait quality in our collection.
The ideal outcome of balancing these opposites is more detail and harmony than the web3 space has ever seen before. And at the same time we streamline our manga production and secure a very high standard for our animations.

ZENI 銭 · the money of the Lowline.

Zeni is the old Japanese word for a coin: the street coin with a hole through it. In 2089 every crew below the rail still runs on it.

Spend it. Hold it for rank. It feeds the city.

Hedgehog Miner, for $HEDGE holders. Encourage every holder mint your own animal!
Where the money goes:

Every hedgehog is mined with a GPU and paid for in NVDA (0.065 now, stepping up to 0.165 by the last epoch).

That NVDA is split on-chain, every mint:
- 60% buys $HEDGE off the pool. 45% of the mint is burned, 15% sits in a reserve.
- 30% goes to the treasury
- 10% to builders.

Stake a hedgehog: 1.2x to 2x weight in the existing NVDA payout pool. It reallocates the pool between holders. It does not create yield.

Burn a hedgehog: 40% of its price back in $HEDGE from the reserve. The NVDA it was mined with already went to buybacks and the treasury.

The loop: miners bring NVDA in, $HEDGE gets bought and burned, the treasury has more NVDA to put to work. Supply down, treasury up, no new token printed anywhere.

So far: 36 mined, 728 $HEDGE bought back, 546 burned.

Members can now submit their vote in Discord on which character we should reveal next.

You'll never guess which one leads so far 👹

[Osinko @UseOsinko]

The next ticker you ape could be yours.

You’ve seen the stocks move into place. The weights change. A Stack take shape.

Now picture the one you’d build.

The companies behind your thesis. Weighted by your conviction. Given a name and a ticker of your own.

That’s what we’re bringing to Osinko.

Stacks brings stock selection, allocation, and creation into one experience starting with an empty canvas and an idea.

We’ve shown you pieces. The full reveal is coming.

[Cryptopeet @Crypto_peet]

The $HEDGE thesis just got a lot bigger.

I originally saw Hedgehood as a bet on DeFi infrastructure for tokenized stocks.

After Hedgefun, I think the opportunity is broader:

RWAs → programmable assets → permissionless hedge funds → autonomous strategies → an entirely new financial layer onchain.

If we're heading into an RWA bull cycle, simply tokenizing TradFi assets won't be the endgame.

The real opportunity could be in the protocols that make those assets productive, composable and permissionless.

Hedgehood is trying to build exactly there.

I wrote an updated deep dive on why Hedgefun + RWAFi + Robinhood Chain could turn Hedgehood into something far bigger than the project we're looking at today.

Still early. Still highly speculative. But the vision is becoming much clearer.

Tokenization was step one. Financialization is next. 🦔🦔

SOLD! ｜ $36,245 (13.3 ETH)

The auction on @manifoldxyz for the first Majin NFT closed on September 18 with the final bid of $36,245 (13.3 ETH).

Huge congratulations to the winner and new owner of our 1/1 Fallen Angel artwork! We're sure you will enjoy the matching grail in our PFP collection and the large physical edition which comes with this masterpiece.

I also want to express a huge THANK YOU｜感謝 to all our supporters and bidders. It has been exciting to see the price increase beyond what I had expected. We will continue to build and work on delivering one of the most beautiful collections on-chain.

It's the best motivation anyone could wish for to see such overwhelming demand and appreciation by serious collectors. It also makes me incredibly bullish on the choice of our mint price.
As you might know, we're aiming to mint for around 0.15 ETH. Considering that even at this very early stage we already have an NFT selling for over 13 ETH is absolutely crazy. I think this tells us a lot about the opportunity which we have for creating value for holders.

I'm very much looking forward to reveal new characters and artwork, and to continue creating an incredibly aesthetic and unique IP.

Trade anything on Robinhood Chain. Gasless. Now Live.

[Kyle McConnell @KkonMcC]

Excited to have gotten our mainnet preview live. We'll have virtually the entire Robinhood chain tradeable by the end of the night.

Most people agree ZEC is the trade of the cycle. Not many people are making it usable.

That is the whole point of https://t.co/BpjDQizDnN. Zcash, in the trenches.

We are going at retail consumer apps head on. Same speed, same feel, one difference: everything you do here pays you in actual Zcash. Not points. Not an IOU. Real ZEC, redeemable to a transparent address whenever you want.

Gasless. Bring your own wallet or let us make you one. Multiple addresses. We took the parts of the new consumer apps that are actually pulling retail into crypto, and kept it sharp enough for people who have been here the whole time.

Same privacy thinking runs through the product.

Private profiles are live now, for when you would rather not broadcast your book. Private trades are next, for the ones you are quietly ashamed of. Publish what you want to publish. Keep the rest to yourself.

Launchpad goes live, likely tomorrow.

Launch a token straight from shielded ZEC, or from zZEC, our 1:1 wrapped Zcash on Robinhood Chain. Every launch pays holders Zcash reflections and buys back and burns $ZEAL. Fully customizable v4 hooks, whatever tokenomics you want, and a whitelist for https://t.co/BpjDQizDnN users so snipers do not crush your launch in the first block.

Once zZEC liquidity is deep enough we go multichain. Trade anything, from one place. iOS app after that.

Retail is walking in the door right now. We want the first privacy coin they touch to be Zcash, and we want it to feel like the trenches, not a whitepaper.

ZCASH is going to be the biggest winner of this cycle. We intend to be a key player in leading the charge and introduce newcomers to ZCASH sooner rather than later.

Hey XCOM.

We have closed testnet to the public in anticipation of mainnet release. You can request an invite on the testnet page if you want access going forward.

We're also doing the final testing internally for mainnet. We'll release trading on the existing ZCASH ecosystem tokens first in addition to our social hub, herds, zonks (thesis), and referral system.

We'll be airdropping zZEC over the coming week to active community members that refer their friends / trade on the site / post zonks / build their herd and profiles / add to zZEC liquidity / launch tokens (When the launchpad goes live)

Every transaction you do on the site earns you zZEC (Real 1:1 backed ZCASH you can redeem for actual $ZEC) and buys back and burns $ZEAL. The platform is gas free (we cover gas) via @privy_io wallets. You can also connect via your external wallet if you prefer.

We will be heavily incentivizing zZEC liquidity providers via early launches so if you have ZCASH you'd like to earn a strong APY on, contributing to zZEC liquidity may be something worth looking into.

We're really excited to get this ecosystem flourishing. In alot of ways it already is. 🛡️🦓

[Ripples @ripplesdotrun]

The most overlooked part of tokenomics is the other side of the trading pair.

Ripples supports approved tokenized stock and fund assets as launch quote currencies on Solana and Robinhood.

That choice determines what buyers pay and what sellers receive.

A market has two sides. Picking the second one should be a deliberate decision.

[Ripples @ripplesdotrun]

Most multichain products are a dropdown and a prayer.

Ripples now runs token, NFT and combined launches across three rails:

• Robinhood
• Solana
• Arc testnet

The chain is infrastructure. The launch should feel like one product.
