— 📌 | NoRekt
NoRekt is a hedged-lending protocol built for borrowing without forced liquidations. Users borrow $USDC against $ETH, choose their protection period, and set their liquidation price as low as $0. NoRekt handles the hedge.
…
— 📌 | Otto / $OTTO
Autonomous agentic trading + Agent MCPs on @RobinhoodApp Chain.
Provides news, data, and market intelligence tools so AI agents can trade and earn on tokenized stocks 24/7. Integrates with Robinhood’s agentic trading / MCP infrastructure for real execution.
…
— 📌 | Hood Frens
Creator card trading game on Robinhood Chain. Buy and trade cards tied to creators; prices shift with demand. Each day, creators “race,” and cardholders earn ETH rewards based on performance. A social, gamified layer for the Hood ecosystem, often compared to FantasyTop.
…
— 📌 | American Spend
We index real U.S. consumer transactions into a “Spend Graph.” Their first product, Spend Market, turns verified spending into tradable information markets, if America buys it, you can trade it. We’re early-stage, focused on making aggregated spend transparent and investable.

A non-custodial interface on @Morpho Midnight that matches borrowers and lenders peer-to-peer at fixed rates (not variable pools). Supports conditional offers, auto-renewal, and institutional controls. Live on @Base.
…
— 📌 | Varo
Varo is a permissionless token launchpad on Robinhood Chain, built by the @rialto_xyz team using standard Uniswap V3 contracts. Shortly after going live, it captured a meaningful share of daily token launches on Robinhood Chain (reported at ~10%), ranking in the top 3.
…
— 📌 | DualMint
Onchain financing for real-world machines. Buys cash-flowing assets (laundromats, HVAC; expanding to robots), leases them to operators, and pays verified stablecoin yield from revenue, backed by IoT telemetry. Reports steady monthly $USDC payouts with no defaults to date.
…
— 📌 | Optimum
Optimum is a data acceleration network for blockchains. It improves how data (blocks, blobs, attestations) propagates across the network using Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC), technology rooted in long-running MIT research led by Prof. @MurielMedard.
…
— 📌 | Axis Robotics
Distributed scaling layer for real-world robotics. “Simulation First”: browser-based simulators to collect data, augment photorealistically, and train policies that deploy on hardware. Crypto-governed “Train-to-Earn” contributor network tackles the robotics data bottleneck. Raised $12M seed led by @hack_vc.
One more astonishing project based on Hegic options just released!
🔮Option-Hedged Lending
🛡️@NoRektFi
Welcome to the new DeFi era where the hedge is an integral part of the loan, the risk is clearly priced, and liquidations are no longer mandatory.
Just wow.
Had a real good conversation about the lending and option strategy @T0xic_Potato will be using for @NoRektFi in @Decentralisedco TG group.
If you are looking for setting your own liquidation price for your lending positions, check this out 👇🏻
gm, @NoRektFi is live.
@NoRektFi lets you lower the liquidation price of an $ETH-backed loan for a selected period.
Example: Your current liquidation price is $1,500.
You want it reduced to $1,000 for the next 30 days.
▸ Choose $1,000.
▸ Choose 30 days.
NoRekt calculates the hedge and buys the required put from @HegicOptions.
As ETH falls, the put gains value and helps keep your position healthy.
No strikes. No option amounts. No hedge calculations.
Choose your risk. @NoRektFi handles the options.
0 liquidations. still rekt.
this borrower supplied ethereum:native at $3,377, then repaid debt from collateral at $1,601 (-53%)
the loan survived by selling ethereum:native near the bottom.
@NoRektFi flips this: as ethereum:native falls, protection gains value and supports the loan, so you can keep more of your ethereum:native.
Borrowing against ethereum:native maximizes buying power — but it also creates liquidation risk.
This user supplied ethereum:native at $2,718. If ethereum:native falls to $1,541, they could lose $41,000
With @NoRektFi, a $2,300 premium can protect against a $41,000 loss. Less than 6% of the money at risk.
Borrowing against $ETH is supposed to help you avoid selling.
But if your loan gets liquidated, the protocol sells part of your position for you.
👇 I found a real example on Aave.
Immediately before liquidation, the borrower had approximately 509 $ETH against $818.6K of debt.
When the position became liquidatable, Aave seized 221.3 $ETH to remove $409.4K in $USDC debt.
At that moment, the seized $ETH was worth approximately $427.3K at the market price.
The borrower gave up $427.3K of $ETH to remove $409.4K of debt.
🔻That is a $17.8K liquidation cost. The borrower also lost any future upside on those 221.3 $ETH if the market recovered.
This is the hidden risk of naked borrowing.
You borrow because you want to keep your $ETH. But you only keep it while the loan remains healthy.
If you cannot repay or add collateral during a drop, the protocol chooses when and how much $ETH leaves your position.
Borrowing is not the problem.
Borrowing without a way to protect your position is.
You borrow against $ETH to avoid selling today and keep the upside.
But will that $ETH still be yours when the price rises, or will it be liquidated first?
Know your odds before you borrow.
Every borrowing position carries liquidation risk.
The higher your LTV and the longer your loan stays open, the greater the chance of liquidation.
🛡️NoRekt shows your liquidation risk, so you can protect your collateral before it's too late.
Coming next week.
since X's feed is fixed (yay)
i wanted to let you know that i'm building the first hedged-lending product called @NoRektFi
no more borrowing against $ETH while worrying abt getting liquidated.
1. deposit $ETH.
2. borrow $USDC
3. add protection
coming next week
A thread 🧵
Borrowing against ethereum:native is supposed to avoid selling.
But a naked loan may only delay the sale until ethereum:native is cheaper.
At $2,000, both selling 6 ethereum:native and borrowing against 10 ethereum:native raise $12,000.
👇Now let ethereum:native fall 30%:
The Robinhood Chain
> Ethereum secures it
> Arbitrum powers it
> Robinhood brings millions onchain

💵Most borrowing products with built-in liquidation protection force you to buy protection from the start.
You end up paying for protection before you actually need it.
That doesn't work for everyone.
Some borrowers build their position gradually over time.
🔮NoRekt gives you a choise.
Buy protection whenever you want.
You timing. Your choice.
