Did you miss the $7 BILLION $HYPE airdrop from Hyperliquid in November?

Well, the next one might be closer than you think.

Here’s how to start farming for Season 2 before everyone else catches on 🧵👇

[Solana @solana]

The largest human-powered data collection effort in history uses Solana to distribute rewards 🔥

[Emperor Osmo 🐂 🎯 @Flowslikeosmo]

Altcoin holders -99% seeing Coinbase is making it easier to buy stocks.

[Shiro @CryptoShiro_]

Another interesting public sale in the privacy narrative. 💎

As said before, I haven't made my privacy picks yet, I'm still researching.
This project definitely piqued my interest.

Because it's not another blockchain.
It's a privacy layer, making any L1 or L2 confidential ↓

---------

I'm talking about @zama here!

Zama starts from the premise that Blockchain transparency is a bug, not a feature. So they want to fix this bug.

As said before, the Zama Confidential Blockchain Protocol enables confidential smart contracts on top of any L1 or L2 using FHE.

So it's a confidentiality layer, easy to use, and not another blockchain.
It makes it much easier to gain users, and to plug into and integrate with (m)any blockchain.

It makes confidentiality + public verifiability possible.

Zama uses FHE (Fully Homomorphic Encryption) to keep onchain data encrypted at all times, even during processing.

And it uses coprocessors to offload the FHE computation from the base chain. This keeps gas fees low while enabling horizontal scalability and public verifiability.

The goal of FHE is to enable a new internet protocol, HTTPZ, where everything is encrypted end to end.
Privacy wouldn't matter anymore, not because it isn't important, but because it would be guaranteed by design in the internet itself.

It's basically the best kind of privacy: scalable, secure and affordable.

It allows:
• Confidential and fair onchain auctions preventing front-running.
• Confidential and compliant RWA to boost institutional adoption.
• Confidential token launches, vesting, airdrops, and governance.
• Onchain self-custodial banking with full confidentiality.
• Confidential stablecoin transactions with encrypted amounts
• Confidential token swaps, lending, and yield farming.

Everything confidential.

And Zama is the fastest FHE protocol!

---------

✦ The Public Sale

Zama has raised over $150M at a $1B valuation from some of the most successful blockchain investors, including Multicoin and Pantera.

And now the public sale will be accessible to everyone.

The public sale is a bit different than what we're used to.
It's a sealed-bid Dutch auction on Ethereum, using the Zama protocol itself for the sale.

Same format Google used for its IPO, but rebuilt fully on Ethereum with FHE privacy.

Sealed-bid means no visibility into other bids, transactions & quantities are encrypted. So no benefit to rushing transactions.

• Fair distribution & real price discovery
• No bot sniping
• No gas-war timing pressure
• Tokens are unlocked immediately
• Allocation is based on quantity, not capital, which is good for distribution

🗓️ Auction: Jan 12-15 2026.

@zama is now on my list of projects to watch in the Privacy Narrative. 🫡
So I'll be waiting for the Dutch Auction in January!

Let me know what you think.

Bear Market or not, INFINIT is one of the projects building the hardest lately. 💎

I haven’t posted about it for like 2 weeks and now I’ve got 100 tabs open trying to catch up.

So here are some of the latest developments & updates from the top DeFi x AI Project ↓ 🧵

------------

And these updates seem to be having a good impact on the $IN price.
For once in crypto, fundamentals are actually aligned with the price action!

$IN seems to have found its bottom, and is now up only, +30% this week.

But PA can be unpredictable, what is more predictable is the fundamentals getting better every day.

If you missed my posts about @Infinit_Labs:

INFINIT is an AI-powered DeFi Intelligence Platform.
It's making DeFi easier with Agents.

But it's now much more than that and the goals are broader.

------------

✦ Partnerships & Integrations

• INFINIT x Google (already covered this one):
🔗 https://t.co/dzAHValn4B
🔗 https://t.co/8vK405j1wN

• INFINIT x @eigencloud (EigenLayer):
🔗 https://t.co/3ya3dgCLIO
🔗 https://t.co/pDlI4kxg7C

This partnership brings verifiable execution to the AI Agent Infrastructure.

Basically INFINIT is integrating EigenAI's on-chain verified LLM inference into the agentic infrastructure. This means every decision INFINIT's 34+ specialized agents make is now backed by a cryptographic guarantee.

So it gives you more trust with your prompt, you don't need to blindly trust an agent with your capital.

• INFINIT x 402:
🔗 https://t.co/lPlocXAlMd

• INFINIT Strategies now on Base:
🔗 https://t.co/9bmr4ZGgfR

8 Agentic strategies available on Base.
Of course a good move since it's very important to be positioned on Base as a good share of what's happening on-chain these days happen over there.

And it allows to farm a potential Base Airdrop.

• @katana Integration
🔗 https://t.co/S30G4KVXyz

Agentic strategies now also available on Katana.

Manually navigating protocols takes time and effort.

INFINIT eliminates that friction with AI Agents.

Katana rewards users who deploy capital onchain with boosted yields through 1 billion KAT tokens, along with other chain revenue like VaultBridge and Sequencer Fees.

• @monad Integration:
🔗 https://t.co/W5vvvyQ1RR

Make your DeFi Research easy on Monad with INFINIT.
The INFINIT Data Stream powers INFINIT Intelligence to answer anything related to Monad and its ecosystem, through its conversational interface.

So you just have to ask INFINIT and easily get personalized Monad Ecosystem Alpha.

Real-time, accurate on-chain and social data. No manual digging.

• @megaeth Integration:
🔗 https://t.co/jihgnqM3Ij

Just like with Monad, INFINIT Intelligence is now live for the MegaETH ecosystem, bringing conversational DeFi research to the first blockchain delivering sub-millisecond execution.

It shows their integrations are really fast and aligned with what's hot & used right now.

• @Mantle_Official x INFINIT Prompt-to-DeFi:
🔗 https://t.co/f7dL4GItet

This integration brings INFINIT’s agentic AI coordination to the Mantle ecosystem, turning DeFi ideas into verifiable, non-custodial, on-chain executions to Mantle.

At the core is Prompt-to-DeFi, a huge upgrade for INFINIT that we'll discuss more further down.

• Integration to Gate Wallet:
🔗 https://t.co/MKjekj4QhV

43M+ users can now experience 1-click agentic DeFi execution.

This is the start of exponential distribution, embedding INFINIT's capabilities directly into Gate's Web3 ecosystem.

• Integration to Bitget Wallet:
🔗 https://t.co/Sm2Wxn7GPb

80M+ users can now experience agentic DeFi execution via INFINIT.

Imagine all these partnerships, integrations, and updates in just a month.
And I haven’t even featured everything here. One thing’s for sure: no one can say INFINIT isn’t building.

------------

✦ Prompt-to-DeFi

That's the biggest upgrade this month.

🔗 https://t.co/FzDBJwXFGf

Prompt-to-DeFi is pretty self-explanatory, you write a prompt, it executes a DeFi strategy.

Basically users write a strategy in natural language, and INFINIT’s Agent Swarm translates it into executable transactions across protocols.

Prompt-to-DeFi aims to democratize DeFi strategy creation allowing anyone to build, automate, and execute complex onchain workflows just by describing them.

So no heavy DeFi knowledge, no multi-step manual workflows, just describe the strategy and agents handle the rest, while users keep full custody of their assets.

And strategy creators will earn a portion of the fees, which could be huge for good strategy makers.

On top of that, INFINIT will let you copy DeFi strategies from top DeFi experts.

🔗 https://t.co/h3thgGyyZm

So you’ll be able to easily execute complex Pendle strategies or farming setups you see on X for example.

The benefits are obvious: you save time, energy, and you finally get to execute strategies you wouldn’t know how to if you couldn't use a simple prompt.

It also means more TVL for projects, faster adoption for protocols, and more overall DeFi activity.

So with Prompt-to-DeFi everyone can:
• Create their own Defi strategies with simple tools
• Get the chance to monetize these strategies
• Access exclusive advanced tools for creators

You will be able to create APY-oriented strategies but also strategies focused on airdrops, or anything else that can be executed on-chain.

If you want to start using Prompt-to-DeFi to create your own strategies and earn from them, or use other's strategies, I have access codes (comment or DM).

[Shiro @CryptoShiro_]

Privacy has been one of the main Narratives lately. 💎

I haven't made my best picks yet, I'm still researching.
But there is this one project that has launched today that caught my attention.

It's about programmable privacy, AI-native architecture, & encrypted smart contracts ↓ 🧵

--------

But why privacy?
Privacy will be one of the most important things in a world where everything is connected, where we tell everything about ourselves to AI companies, and where our data is collected everywhere on the internet.

Privacy is the core Ethos of crypto, and of the cypherpunks.
Privacy doesn't care about Bull or Bear Market.
Privacy is primordial.

That's why @tenprotocol is here.

--------

✦ What's TEN?

@tenprotocol is the Future of Encrypted Blockchains.
It can be summed up easily: The privacy L2 for Ethereum.
Powered by TEEs. Built for the new internet.

TEN is short for Trusted Execution Network, and that pretty much sums up what it’s all about.
Everything that happens on TEN can be encrypted.

So it’s a new kind of L2 blockchain, purpose-built for (programmable) privacy, AI, and encrypted smart contracts.

This new infrastructure allows to power applications previously impossible on transparent chains.

The main feature of TEN Protocol is Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs).

TEN Protocol integrates TEEs with encrypted EVM transactions, introducing a new primitive: the confidential rollup.

This innovation empowers developers to build trustless applications with robust data access controls, private execution logic, and autonomous agents.

As you know I'm really bullish on AI Agents and an agentic future, so that's also a bullish point for me.

TEN led a raise via a Community First Round on @legiondotcc.

It was built on these three pillars:

• Community-First Ownership: No insider deals. No exclusive allocations. Just direct access for users to own a piece of the network.
• Smart Transparency: A breakthrough in privacy-preserving smart contracts, enabling billion-dollar categories like gaming, AI, and TradFi to go fully on-chain.
• Credibility at Scale: The team previously built R3 Corda, trusted by central banks and institutions to settle trillions and manage over $10B in real-world assets.

So that's also a bullish point for me, they care about the community and how their token is distributed.

--------

✦ What I especially like about TEN

The credibility.

TEN is founded and backed by doxxed people that are already known actors of this industry.

TEN's built by the R3 Corda engineers, the same team that powered CBDCs and $10B+ in tokenized assets for HSBC, Euroclear, Sweden’s e-Krona, and the UAE Digital Dirham.

These are the people behind many blockchain industry firsts:
• 1st tokenization of institutional gold (HSBC)
• 1st digital bonds on Euroclear and Switzerland’s SIX
• 1st cross-chain repo swap
• 1st TEE-secured cross-border payment
• 1st government-backed digital land registry (HMRC)
• 1st decentralized instant payment + netting systems

Their technology has been utilized by over 60 global banks and in more CBDC projects than any other blockchain.

So they know what they're doing, they've been building for a while, TEN is not a cashgrab trying to ride the privacy narrative.
It's a project that's being built for years and is launching at a great timing.

And the metrics speak for themselves:
• 500M+ testnet transactions processed
• TEN Legion sale 5.6x oversubscribed
• Top mindshare on Cookie & Kaito
• 633k+ wallets, 11.5k smart contracts deployed
• 4.5B+ impressions in recent months
• 180k+ members on Discord

On top of that, and this may seem minor but it actually matters, I really like the art direction and how clean and easy to understand all the resources are.
Whether it's the website, media, whitepaper, FAQ, litepaper, posts on X,… everything feels smooth.

The Mainnet is not yet released, it's planned for January 2026.
The roadmap is quite solid too, many things planned, you should have a look at it on their website.

--------

✦ The Launch

📅 $TEN has launched today, November 27th at 1PM.
Available on major CEX, so very accessible:
Kucoin, MEXC, and Gate.

There is quite a lot of volatility, it dipped -80% at launch.
So Legion sale participants are at loss too. Which is obviously not good.
The problem seemed to be about liquidity, we don't really know the full extent of the issue yet.

But now it's stabilizing and could be trending up.
However volatility is still strong, and sale participants could be a big sell pressure for a while.

Honestly fundamentals are good, so a $20M FDV (like $3M Mcap right now) feels undervalued.
But the team must keep shipping and being serious about communication to turn that around.

I'll keep an eye on it but now could be a good opportunity to enter, yet it's a very risky play for sure.
Still need to monitor & understand what happened first.

Yet, TEN is one of the most interesting projects launching in the privacy narrative right now, if they deliver.
That's why I'm glad to be helping @tenprotocol to talk about this launch.

[Shiro @CryptoShiro_]

Gm,

The market is very ugly.

This time, I decided not to watch my portfolio go to zero in the case of a Bear Market.

Having a portfolio down 80% last cycle & no dry powder to buy the generational entries was painful.

So I derisked, and sold my $ETH at $4k, $3.6k, and $3.3k.

------

And I did it publicly.
I took the risk of being wrong but it feels good to know some people might have derisked too thanks to that.

It also feels good not to be among those people who kept bull-posting and saying the Alt Season was 100% coming this year. Having convictions is good, but misleading your community into investing blindly without thinking is irresponsible.

So are we in a Bear Market?
I can't say it for sure.

Did I derisk successfully, and am I safe to buy lower or buy back on the way up?
Yes.

Why am I talking about $ETH?
Because that was my main bag since I rode it from $2k to ATH. I had very little $BTC and I'm waiting for a real bear market to buy more of it. And I sold most of my other bags before that, except for some small caps that I'm ready to hold to zero.

I will be perfectly honest, as always: I didn't sell much of my bag at $4k, and at that time I wasn’t sure things were looking so bad yet, so I didn’t announce it publicly straight away.

I announced that I had sold on November 3rd, and at the same time I sold more around $ETH at $3.6k.

That was on Telegram, where I've been silent for a while because there was no use of being loud and shilling dozens of tokens when the R/R was bad and most people would just lose money.

That's also why I've been silent here on X.
I only mentioned some of my, now few, long term bags that I'll be holding during a bear market.
Projects that I think could keep building and even perform well in a bear market, and that are already down a lot anyway (doesn't mean they can't go down another 90% though).

When I had the feeling that my thesis was validated for the market, I sold almost everything I had left at $ETH ~$3.3k, when I posted my latest newsletter.

------

Anyway all of that is not (only 🥸) about clout claiming, many people did way better, some people sold the top of $ETH & $BTC, were more vocal about it, and even successfully shorted. I didn't even think of selling when $ETH (barely) reached a new ATH, yet some sold all of it instantly since it had such a good run from the lows.

The point here is to show that it's possible not to repeat past mistakes.
To change your thesis.
And also to do it publicly, which is important when you have a community.

I was bullish for a while, and it's hard to flip bearish to preserve your capital when the R/R is not good anymore.

I managed to say that I derisked heavily, then to follow my thesis and to remain silent on X & Telegram instead of chasing dozens of launches and new tokens that pumped for a day and then went to zero for most of them.

Yes, we didn't get a real new ATH for $ETH, we didn't really get an Alt Season like many thought we would, we didn't check every boxes for a market top, yet there were signs, the R/R was getting less good.

I'm not saying this is 100% the top of the market (even though I'm starting to think it might be), but I definitely didn't want to be all-in during this retracement, like I was too many times last cycle.

I'd be happy to buy back on the way up, since I sold most of my bags at $ETH ~$3.6k, I'll have time to see it coming and react if we pump again.

I hope you're not all-in either, and that you have dry powder ready for potential generational entries in a bear market.

In the meantime I'm using my stablecoins to farm points & yield. 🫡

Don't make the same mistakes you did before.
For once I can say: I'm comfy in stables. 🫡

[Edgy - The DeFi Edge 🗡️ @thedefiedge]

Less hype. More substance. Sonic’s comeback looks different this time.

The CEO reset the playbook: real work first, hype later.

He’s grounding the team again, focusing on what actually makes a chain valuable: the builders, the validators and the people holding the $S token.

The treasury’s in a healthy place, and the slowdown in comms wasn’t silent. It was intent.

They want progress to speak first.

The new FeeM model reflects that shift:

🔹Validators get fixed rewards.
🔹Builders earn a bigger share for driving usage.
🔹The rest of the fees are burned, tightening supply and giving each transaction more weight

They’re also expanding to the U.S., opening a New York office to work closer with institutions.

As someone who used Sonic back when it was still Fantom, this brings back that same early energy: people building with conviction and a long-term mindset.

Glad to partner with the OG chain @SonicLabs as they double down on real fundamentals for the next phase.

[Shiro @CryptoShiro_]

Gm,

Mantle is still one of the best ecosystem for yield opportunities & rewards.

Now that $MNT is officially the core token of Bybit and has been further integrated, its utility has expanded even more.

Here you can use your $MNT for triple rewards ↓ 🧵

-------

You have a Megadrop, a HODLverse campaign, and a Launchpool:

1️⃣ Momentum (Megadrop)
Stake $MNT or $USDT for 30-120 days to farm $MMT rewards (~$100K)
→ Extra 1.5-5% APY base yield
→ Multiplier boosts (up to 1.4×)

@MMTFinance $MMT is one of the latest big launch, and seems bottomed, so it could be interesting to gain some exposure risk free.

2️⃣ RLUSD HODLverse
Just hold your $MNT to earn part of a 250K $XRP airdrop (~$557K)
→ ~150% APY on Day 1, ~50% on Day 2

3️⃣ Canton Launchpool
Stake $MNT or $BBSOL for a share of 10M $CC
→ Up to 800% APR with MNT getting the largest pool share

--------

Your $MNT can qualify for all 3 at once.
Stake it once → earn $MMT + $XRP + $CC concurrently.

Everything's happening on Bybit.

⏳ Timelines

• Megadrop + HODLverse → end Nov 11
• Launchpool → ends Nov 16

The setup won’t last long, but for anyone holding $MNT, this is basically a triple-compound window across APY, airdrops, and high-multiplier staking.

If you want to be aware about these opportunities sooner it's better to follow @Mantle_Official & the @Bybit_Official Ecosystem.

---------

We've seen insane growth for the Mantle eco & $MNT price and now that it's cooled off a bit, it could be a good time for you to enter this ecosystem.

Especially since they're now invested in another big narrative for the future in crypto: RWA.

They're going to tokenize equities on Mantle Blockchain.
And they're in this new adventure with @Bybit & @BackedFi.

Before Mantle, tokenized equities used to sit idle.

On Mantle, they can be used to power new DeFi strategies, yield engines, and capital-efficient systems.

The goal is to link U.S. capital markets and onchain liquidity under one unified layer.

And that's not it for Mantle & RWAs, they also launched the Mantle RWA ScholarSHIP Program, an initiative to fuel content, creativity, and global awareness for RWA projects, putting Mantle at the heart of the RWA ecosystem.

A massive step for RWAs.

[Bold @boldleonidas]

Still not selling Zec here.

Because I don’t have any.

[Zora @ZoraWeb3]

So root stakers can now earn alpha tokens without putting their $TAO at risk?

I’ve written before about my previous TAO staking approach:
- keep 50% staked in root (risk-free)
- keep 50% staked in alpha tokens (risking TAO)

Over time, I shifted to going 100% alpha staking (not something I’d recommend unless you really know what you’re doing, as you can lose your TAO).

A lot of people wanted exposure to subnet tokens but were hesitant to provide TAO liquidity directly into subnet pools. The fear of losing principal was too high.

That’s what makes this new update interesting. With Root Claim, once you stake your $TAO and choose a validator, you will gain exposure to the alpha tokens your validator interacts with.

In other words: stake TAO, earn alpha.

Root Claim is currently live on testnet. It replaces the old system that automatically sold off root-alpha dividends, and now gives users the choice to either keep or auto-sell them (toggle it on/off depending on your choice).

Here’s how it works in simple terms:

1. If you do nothing, your root-alpha gets swapped to TAO and added back to your root stake. In other words, if you do nothing, staking TAO on root = earning TAO back, as usual.
2. Auto-claims happen roughly once every two days per account.
3. To keep your alpha instead of selling, use the set_root_claim_type(Keep) extrinsic.
4. You can also manually claim alpha from specific subnets using claim_root() and passing the subnet list.

Zora out.

[OpenServ @openservai]

OpenServ agents are live on @HyperliquidX.

Next: Six AI models go head to head in OpenArena, each running through autonomous systems of OpenServ agents executing the same trading strategy with real capital.

Soon, you’ll build and launch your own autonomous systems as onchain products through the SERV Launchpad for anyone to trade and use.

[YashasEdu @YashasEdu]

Robotics sector sits at $360M mcap vs AI's $25.6B.

Given projections from Jensen Huang (trillion dollar robotics market) and Elon Musk (bigger than automotive), $CODEC' $18M FDV position is highly undervalued on Solana imo.

@codecopenflow is building AI agents that interact with software and hardware. Most AI agents rely on APIs or static scripts and break when things change. Codec's Operators work in a loop.

1. They see what's happening through screenshots, camera feeds or sensors
2. Figure out what to do using that visual information + natural language
3. Then take action in real time

One can build no code training + SDK (custom logic/APIs) + modern/legacy system compatibility + open source → Operators Marketplace using their architecture.

Here's what they've shipped👇

➢ x402 integration from Coinbase for autonomous payments
➢ AI → AI economy where agents hire each other or purchase resources onchain
➢ Optr SDK (alpha v0.3) with GPU-free browser-based robotics simulations (ROS + Brewie)
➢ Sentinel Guard validating action range, timing, and energy
➢ 90% reduction in setup time for developers

Let’s hope Moonvember won’t screw us

[Shiro @CryptoShiro_]

Gm,

Remember when I told you about @almanak and its vault for stablecoin yield farming?

We are also receiving points for Almanak Airdrop too, as you know.

There is now on Pendle a x5 Almanak Points for YT holders.

I'll explain everything.
The airdrop could be juicy ↓ 🪂

---------

✦ I've written about @almanak already, so here are a few posts to catch up:

• What's Almanak:
🔗 https://t.co/e1Ta2fhywZ

• Almanak Yield + Points Farming on Pendle explained
+ @cookiedotfun x Almanak Airdrop:
🔗 https://t.co/KGiaUhaoXx

So we're now entering stage 3 of Almanak Points Season, the last stage.
This stage & its pool on Pendle end/mature on December 11th.

We can expect TGE shortly after, since they said the token is launching this quarter.

We also learn that 1 Almanak Point ≈ 1 Token at TGE.

Learn more about Almanak Stage 3:
🔗 https://t.co/Uo6Z6zeZKR

----------

✦ So what to do now?

First you'll need to deposit your stablecoin on Almanak Vaults, you'll receive alUSD.
🔗 Here: https://t.co/ptyiCRZZCG (my reflink)

For a current estimated 13% APY.
You can already stop here for a very good APY.

But you have three more options.
You can either:

• LP your alUSD on Curve (3x points) or Pendle (1.5x points), to earn yield + points for the Almanak Airdrop.

• Buy PT on Pendle to maximize the yield but earn 0 point.

• Or buy YT on Pendle to maximize the points (5x) if you believe in a high valuation at TGE.

If you've read my post that I linked earlier, you already know how Pendle works.

But if you want to understand it more in this scenario with Almanak, it has already been explained very well here:
🔗 https://t.co/xW0LyLTIOM
🔗 https://t.co/COIJkJbUaA

If you believe ALMANAK will launch at least as high as its public sale valuation, you should bet on YT. Make sure you understand how it works first of course.

I'm also farming SNAP & CSNAP for the Cookie x Almanak Airdrop and you can do the same, start snapping.
🔗 https://t.co/ZgeiVfBQGQ

With the high valuation ($90M) of the sale, I expect a pretty good valuation at TGE. Especially if December is bullish.

[Eli5DeFi @Eli5defi]

➥ Ethereal: The Perps DEX That Pays Traders Instead of Charging Them

Old model: pay funding to trade.

New model: earn yield as you trade.

That shift defines @etherealdex, powered by $USDe, built for speed, liquidity, and yield in one place.

Everything to know about Ethereal in 30s 🧵

— — —

► What is Ethereal?

Ethereal is a decentralized perpetuals exchange building the USDe everything app.

It is powered by @ethena and built on a high-performance stack:

▸ @Celestia for data availability
▸ @PythNetwork for price feeds
▸ @Arbitrum for settlement and execution
▸ @Conduitxyz for sequencing and throughput
▸ @LayerZero_Core for cross-chain USDe deposits (OFT)

This stack delivers sub-20 ms latency and over one million orders per second, combining CEX-level speed with on-chain security and non-custodial control.

—

► Why Ethereal is Unique

▸ USDe Margin Yield – Trades use USDe as margin, earning 2–27 % yield instead of paying funding.

▸ Low Fees and Deep Liquidity – Zero maker and minimal taker fees for efficient execution.

▸ Yield on Collateral – Margin balances earn Ethena yield during open positions.

▸ Integrated Stack – Engine, margin, and oracle systems operate within Ethereal.

▸ CEX Speed with DeFi Control – Sub-20 ms execution and full on-chain custody.

—

► How It Works with USDe

▸ Collateral – USDe serves as trading margin across perpetual markets.

▸ Yield – The margin balance continues earning Ethena yield through its Stablecoin-as-a-Service model.

▸ Settlement – Trades, PnL, and funding settle directly in USDe on Ethereal’s rollup.

▸ Cross-Chain Deposit – LayerZero OFT enables instant USDe deposits from supported chains.

Margin capital remains productive, turning collateral into a yield-earning asset during trading.

—

► Why It Matters

Ethereal combines DeFi yield, CEX performance, and on-chain transparency in one protocol.

The roadmap expands from perps to spot, money markets, and RWAs, all settled in USDe. Season One adds USDe yield and points, creating a closed-loop system for trading and rewards.

Compared with other perps, Ethereal delivers faster execution with over one million orders per second, against ~200k on Hyperliquid and ~1.5k on dYdX.

It flips the model: trade and earn instead of paying to trade.

► Wrap-Up

Ethereal is more than a perps DEX. It anchors the USDe ecosystem where trading, yield, and liquidity operate within one protocol.

Using USDe for collateral, settlement, and rewards drives continuous demand as each trade and yield cycle expands its utility.

Built for speed and real yield, Ethereal defines a new benchmark for on-chain markets while reinforcing USDe as DeFi’s productive stablecoin.

Why Team Allocation Matters?

Team allocation is one of the most underrated but powerful metrics in tokenomics. It tells you how much skin the builders have in the game and how much selling pressure they could bring later.

A low allocation (like TAO or QUBIC) often signals fairness. These projects are usually community-first, with no early insider advantage.

It reduces dumping risk and aligns long-term network participation.

On the other hand, a moderate allocation (10–20%) can be healthy if paired with proper vesting.

It ensures the team stays motivated and funded for future development, marketing, and ecosystem growth.

But high allocations (like LINK ’s 30%) can raise eyebrows if tokens unlock too fast or lack transparency. It might mean potential sell-offs that hurt the market.

In short its a window into a project’s ethics, sustainability, and how well incentives are aligned between builders and believers.
