Step 2: Buy & stake ftUSD on @flyingtulip_

Use USSD to buy and stake ftUSD in one step. You do not need to buy ftUSD first and stake it separately.

No incentives. Pure yield.

@OndoFinance Very sorry to hear the news. Nathan helped build a great project.

My thoughts go out to his family and the team.

Thanks @Schebesta for the interview!

Talking about @soniclabs and Australia’s latest and terrible budget.

[Crypto Finder @cryptofindertv]

Here's a great example of Australian entrepreneur @michaelfkong of @SonicLabs, who built a business in Australia then moved it overseas to a far more supportive environment.

.@flyingtulip_'s Global Margin Lending has now crossed $4M in total deposits with $2.7M on Sonic.

You can now earn 6% APY on your stable by minting and staking ftUSD on Sonic.

One click minting & redemption with no unstaking period and no exit que. Pure yield with 0 incentives!

Nanopayments powered by @Circle Gateway is live on mainnet, with Sonic supported.

Gas-free @USDC payments with instant verification. Sub-cent transfers. Unified liquidity through Circle Gateway.

A small payment primitive with a very large surface area 🧵

[Kong.sonic @michaelfkong]

Added to margin lending. To be used across the ethereum:0x5dd1a7a369e8273371d2dbf9d83356057088082c ecosystem.

New asset listed on Sonic Lend: USSD

Sonic’s native stablecoin is now available in Flying Tulip’s Margin Lending market.

[Kong.sonic @michaelfkong]

Vertical integration with mutual alignment is the only way.

Last cycle proved chains can still raise 9 figs with ease, but the 2017 tokenomics playbook is finished.

The chains actively diagnosing the core L1 value prop failure are the ones that win.

No one cares about TTF, TPS, database, consensus, low gas, and high throughput etc.

All of these have been commoditised (using centralised tricks) and no cares about “decentralisation” or ideology.

Bandaids like using stablecoins as gas don’t fix it. Neither do recycled attempts at chasing the latest shiny trend, whether enshrined privacy or compliance rails.

Until onboarding feels as frictionless as Venmo or Zelle, nothing else matters.

ftUSD caps have been increased again.

On Sonic Lend:
USDC: 1M -> 10M
wS: 30M -> 100M

Earn 5.63% on Sonic by depositing into ftUSD.

[Newton (🌷,🌷) @flyingNewton]

Margin Lending, @flyingtulip_ second product after $ftUSD, is now above 1m USD TVL.

Lend is a core building block of the Flying Tulip stack: it lets users supply assets to earn yield or borrow against collateral, while enabling delta-neutral strategies for ftUSD and the margin infrastructure for spot and leveraged trading.

Our tech team would be happy to sit down with yours and find a way to optimize the Sonic tech stack for exactly what you need at scale.

[Sonic @SonicLabs]

Respect for the transparency. You’re hitting on challenges we’ve seen businesses at your scale run into when real-world traffic meets the blockchain.

Our team has been heads-down with leaders across the space on how an L1 can fine-tune the execution environment around what serious apps actually need: settlement certainty, predictable costs, and business-specific tooling. Polymarket is the clearest example of a system that needs web2 reliability on web3 rails.

Quick thoughts from the chain side:

Latency: Sonic finalizes in ~500ms, deterministically. No probabilistic confirms, no reorgs. Your “near-instant” target is already reality on an L1 stack. ~10k TPS sustained, sub-second single-slot finality, ~$0.0001 average fees.

Chain migration: Doors are open, and we’re actively making bespoke improvements for serious teams. Most chains slow down as throughput climbs; Sonic is designed to get faster under high load.

Cancelled transactions: At your scale, this is a throughput and execution problem. Sonic’s headroom removes the congestion vector. Deterministic finality removes the reorg vector. Your CLOB shouldn’t be dropping orders because the chain can’t keep up.

Cheap gas, instant finality, battle-tested uptime, and native USDC are default. Prediction markets need reserved capacity for market makers, gasless user flows, protocol-native atomic batching, and app-critical transactions that still land when volume spikes.

Would love to compare notes with your tech team on what Polymarket’s real-world throughput has taught you, and where we can build to support it.

Circuit Breaker: A rate-limiting safety mechanism that throttles withdrawals and outflows to contain the blast radius of an exploit.

I built a dashboard to track the Circuit Breaker on @flyingtulip_ by @andrecronjetech , a programmatic safety module for DeFi where lenders are protected just as much as borrowers.

Onchain delta-neutral yield just went live via @flyingtulip_ on Sonic.

A novel DeFi primitive from @andrecronjetech, currently live in a capped phase with plenty of room to scale stablecoin yield over time.

[Andre Cronje @AndreCronjeTech]

Maintenance based lending is the first true defi evolution after LTV based lending. Enables an entirely new suite of hedged strategies that can move from active management to passive management. Less stress for borrowers, better yield for depositors.

Many new features in this system that we will highlight as they go live. Very strict maintenance requirements and caps currently. This is largely just for us to leverage for ftUSD currently.

First step to scaling ftUSD.

With ftUSD & Margin accounts we are finally ready to step towards Total Return Swaps.

The Chainlink data standard powers the majority of DeFi with highly secure market data.

Integrate the USSD/USD Price Feed on Sonic to build advanced DeFi markets around our network-integrated stablecoin.

[Andre Cronje @AndreCronjeTech]

The UX difference between Ethereum and Sonic never ceases to amaze me. Sonic feels like web2.

[SODAX @gosodax]

Heard ftUSD was live.

Now it has a new top holder on the @SonicEcosystem.

Generating money market yield for USDC 🥤

[Andre Cronje @AndreCronjeTech]

Happy. Well over initial expectations. Time to launch.
