BitBay's bridge into DEFI adds a new frontier of financial incentives we call 'Protocol Owned Assets.' Some examples:
1) Locked Yield from Staked Ethereum
2) Collective Time-Locked Pools
3) Protocol-Owned Diverse Yield Portfolio

Marketing to begin soon!!!
I've been using $NEAR intents for a while and honestly it's one of the best techs out there - A literal game changer.
In @NEARProtocol, an intent is a high level declaration of what a user wants to achieve. Think of it as telling the blockchain "what" you want to do, not "how" to do it. For example, instead of manually finding the best DEX for a token swap, calculating optimal routes and executing multiple transactions you simply express: "I want to swap Token A for Token B at the best price."
The key innovation is that users & developers no longer need to handle complex cross-chain transactions themselves. Instead, they declare their desired outcome, and a specialized network of solvers (including both AI agents and traditional market participants) competes to execute that intent in the most optimal way possible.
You want to swap NEAR<>SOL, SOL<>BTC, ETH<>BTC - No issues at all!
Check out even more swaps like BTC<>LINK, XRP<>BTC, ZEC<>USDC, LINK<>SOL, BTC<>ZEC, DOGE<>SOL etc., all natively and onchain.

$BLOCK is becoming a Habit.
In March, BlockBet saw low deposit volumes — players were exploring the platform, but had no reason to prefer $BLOCK.
That changed in April with the introduction of the 20% cashback program (paid in USDT), creating real utility for using the token.
Now in May, the results are clear: $BLOCK is no longer an option — it’s the habit.
▫️March average weekly deposits: $2,352
▫️April average: $14,336
▫️May (to date): over $69,440 weekly
That’s a 900%+ increase in average daily deposits since March — driven entirely by user choice.
Players trust $BLOCK. They understand the benefit of using it. They’ve made it part of how they play.
A Protocol That Absorbs
This shift in behavior has transformed BlockBet into more than a platform — it’s now a live economic loop.
▫️Players buy $BLOCK from the market
▫️They wager with it on BlockBet
▫️When they lose, that $BLOCK stays in the protocol
▫️Cashback is paid in USDT, not tokens
This makes BlockBet a true token sink — no emissions, no recycling, just real absorption. It’s not theoretical — it’s measurable.
Growth in Revenue and Demand
The behavioral shift isn’t just visible in deposit numbers — it’s reflected in revenue and token dynamics:
▫️Gross Gaming Revenue: +112% in May vs April
▫️Net Gaming Revenue: +345% month to date
▫️Casino Wagering Volume: +73% since April
With 100% of NGR used for daily buy-backs, $BLOCK is constantly being purchased and removed from the market.
▫️$284,000+ in $BLOCK bought back in May alone
▫️Over $750,000 bought back since January
This is unlocking a new wave of user interaction: more players, more holders, more volume, more price action — all based on protocol usage.
Price Reflects Utility
▫️In March, $BLOCK traded around $0.02
▫️As of mid-May, it surpassed $0.10 — a 5x increase
This wasn’t hype. It was behavior. It was volume. It was trust.
As $BLOCK becomes the standard for wagering on BlockBet, the system compounds:
▫️Players play
▫️The protocol earns
▫️Tokens are bought back
▫️Supply tightens
▫️Demand increases
Built on Habit, not Hype
$BLOCK is no longer a speculative token.
It’s a habit.
And habits are hard to break.
This new player behavior is unlocking the next phase of BlockBet — one defined by organic usage, sustainable demand, and deepening trust in the ecosystem.
And we’re only halfway through May.
The price of $BLOCK is no longer driven by speculation. It is powered entirely by utility 📈
With or without retail investors the price of $BLOCK will continue to rise as the protocol is printing monstrous numbers
This is what sustainable upside looks like 🤝
Check this out. Even @VitalikButerin is finally seeing the light that the best way forward to address future protocol changes is to use @risc_v VM. BTW, $CKB used this from inception 7 years ago knowing this is the way 👏

$KAS 10BPS has been achieved 🔥
@KaspaCurrency is the World's most scalable Layer 1 platform 🤯
The team are actively developing and achieving Roadmap progress.
Mainnet launching in April/May 🚀
> data mined in consensus by thousands of solo-asics across the globe
Now this is the future I like. With 10bps, we get closer to where solo mining has more consistent payouts. I’d like to see a day where the network is mostly composed of solo miners mining to their own node.
Polkadot 2.0 coming Q1 2025
Still lost in the 2021 dead chain mindset?
@paritytech and @dotlake_xyz just dropped a 60 page report on the current development of the protocol.
Here is the wrap-up showing the 2024 progress and what to expect in 2025.
Huge thread!🧵

PREVISÕES PARA 2025 - não espero acertar 100% mas me preparo para elas. É sempre bom ter uma leitura realista da realidade.
1. A partir do momento em Trump tomar posse, veremos um enfraquecimento gradual do dólar (DXY).
2. Veremos Tether (USDT) aumentar a capilaridade ao redor do mundo com ajuda do governo americano. Tether hoje compra mais dívida americana do que a Alemanha, então basicamente o cidadão africano ou sul-americano que usa USDT está ajudando a financiar o governo americano diretamente. Win-win situation.
3. Bancos serão autorizados a custodiar Bitcoin e também começarão a emitir seus próprios stabledólares, mas nenhuma dessas stables ganhará a mesma tração que USDT. Veremos muitos produtos financeiros usando Bitcoin como garantia para contratos.
4. Enfraquecimento político do governo Lula/mídia/STF, já que seu maior fiador era do governo Biden. Talvez Alckimin assuma depois de problemas da saúde do Lula ou de sustentação política.
5. Fim da Guerra na Ucrânia.
6. Real vai se enfraquecer mais ainda.
7. Bitcoin vai bater USD 250k e oscilar entre 100k-250k ao longo do ano.
8. Vários países instituirão uma Reserva Estratégica de Bitcoin para sair do dólar e melhorar as contas públicas.
9. Argentina e El Salvador serão os lugares seguros para bitcoinheiros e empreededores na AL.
10. Brasil vai instituir controle de capitais mais pesados. Tentarão proibir autocustódia de stables e Bitcoin.
11. Economia americana vai crescer mas o DOGE do Vivek e Elon não conseguirão trazer a dívida americana para níveis sustentáveis.
12. Veremos coisas muito impressionantes feitas pelas Inteligências Artificiais.
13. Provavelmente um grande ataque terrorista feito pelo deep state será realizado nos EUA para abalar o governo Trump. Talvez uma cyberpandemic.
14. Outras empresas adotarão a estratégia da Microstrategy (convertible bonds/ATMs) para alavancar com o Bitcoin.
just used this to convert some ETH into SOL, pretty cool
the folks at NEAR built a cross-chain swap for SOL — powered by intents
non-centralized and open source, would recommend
👏👏the race is on for a post-quantum wallet on CKB
Congrats to the Nervos Nation for getting this aspect of CKB noticed by @CoinMarketCap !
