Not only $HYPE and $CARDS are printing real revenue in the market rn. I was researching utility projects on Solana and came across $ZINC putting up a pretty huge number.
I knew about @ORE before, but I never had much interest in gamified onchain mining back then. But what these projects are doing today is too insane not to study.
How tf is an early project like @zinc_cash making $400K revenue today?
In short, users deploy SOL or ETH into a live game, the protocol takes a fee, and losers fund winners.
This is what they call the Store of Value model, right?
I think the reason it works now is because the market is hunting for "hard money" but in smaller, weirder, more reflexive forms.
Memecoins are fun, but it feels like the market is getting tired of cabal games.
That revenue gets routed into token buybacks, which attracts more people to mine.
Some projects making money:
β @ORE - $ORE: first mover, staking multipliers, refining mechanics, Motherlode jackpots, and a frozen mint that makes the monetary story harder to fork.
β @zinc_cash - $ZINC: deposits stay encrypted through Arcium MPC until settlement, removing the copy-mining and front-running possible on transparent grids.
β @GODLsupply - $GODL: same grid-mining core but better UX with auto-mine, leaderboards, staking, refining, referrals, and a planned marketplace/card layer around the game.
β @jadeprotocol - $JADE: adds guilds, conviction mining with up to 2x power, Deep Vein jackpots, and a decaying emission curve.
β @claimrushgame - $CLAIM: the reigning wallet earns emissions every second, the next takeover returns 75% of ETH to the previous king, and the remaining 25% flows to locked participants with 0% fee.
β @minebean_ - $BEAN: runs 1,440 grid rounds a day inside a mini-app, uses a Beanpot jackpot and delayed-claim roasting, while taking roughly a 1% admin fee.
@eatsleepyeet - $YEET: users yeet $BERA across different actions, while the wider vault, bond, NFT, and buyback system burns YEET.
@landbidbase - $LAND: players bid ETH to conquer land, mine in real time while holding it, then get 85% refunded when outbid, making it more capital-efficient.
Solana and Base are leading the meta once again. Feels like everyone in crypto just needs to stick with them.
I'm trying to mine some $ZINC btw. Real revenue + privacy might cook.
$65B stablecoin volume on $SUI in 5d: fees zero in May 20.
$470M float cycling 130x. Fireblocks integrated pre-launch.
Mysten absorbs gas at protocol level. $2.27T since 2024.
When does a zero-fee settlement rail with institutional distribution displace correspondent banking?
Many are talking about #Base szn π¦
So I put together a curated Base ecosystem list, with a stronger AI narrative angle:
πΉ AI Agent Economy (Launchpads + tokenized agents)
@virtuals_io - $VIRTUAL: The biggest platform for tokenizing and monetizing AI agents
@clanker_world - $CLANKER: AI agent for launching tokens directly from social
@flaunchgg - $FLAY: Fair launch memecoin + AI agent launchpad using Uniswap V4 hooks
@ArAIstotle - $FACY: Truth-seeking / fact-checking agent on Virtuals
πΉ AI Intelligence Agents
@aixbt_agent - $AIXBT: AI market intelligence agent, basically Bloomberg-style for crypto
@AskVenice - $VVV: Private AI chat + agent layer
@ethy_agent - $ETHY: AI agent focused on Ethereum / Base intelligence
@Roba_Labs - $ROBA: AI agent framework and tooling
πΉ DeFAI & Execution (AI-powered DeFi bots and trading layers)
@bankrbot - $BNKR: AI terminal bot for launching tokens and executing DeFi by text
@avantisfi - $AVNT: Perps and trading platform with strong agent integration potential
@DefinitiveFi: DeFAI infrastructure
@o1_exchange: AI-driven trading / execution layer
@Velvet_Capital - $VELVET: AI-powered capital and strategy management
πΉ AI Infrastructure
@OpenGradient - $OPG: Decentralized verifiable AI inference network, backed by a16z
@openservai - $SERV: AI agent service and deployment infrastructure
@aeonframework - $AEON: AI agent framework
@xmaquina - $DEUS: AI compute / infrastructure layer
πΉ SocialFi & Consumer
@farcaster_xyz: Main decentralized social network
@zora - $ZORA: Creator economy + content coins
@baseapp: Coinbaseβs official app, combining SocialFi + Base MCP with AI agent support
@degentokenbase - $DEGEN: Social token + Base memecoin culture
@Toshi - $TOSHI: One of the oldest Base cat memes
@BasedBrett - based-brett:native: top memecoin on Base
I believe Base AI stack is worth watching atm π
Spent $397 β got a $25k funded account β withdrew ~$11k+ π
Crazy, but I just realized this is what funded capital done right on Solana can look like.
@solanafunded is basically a Solana-native prop firm built for memecoin traders.
You pay a small challenge fee, prove your edge, then trade with their capital, up to $100k, and withdraw profits onchain.
I think itβs a clean Other Peopleβs Money setup.
Low personal downside, real upside if you actually know how to manage risk and size properly.
Iβm probably going to buy a small package to test my trading skills haha.

#Base season might run more than once this year imo. I just need catalysts to keep stacking up.
When BTC is ranging, market gets slightly risk-on looking for new opportunities, and Jensen and Trump keep saying words lol.
Because the long-tail chain trade is mostly dead. @base keeps actively shipping the stack for devs to build interesting things.
β controls 90% of x402 txs and volume
β Agentic Market launched with 480K+ agents transacting across the protocol
β Agentic Wallets gave AI agents wallets
β #Base MCP shipped recently with Uniswap, Morpho, Virtuals, Aerodrome onboard
β #AWS, #Stripe and #Coinbase shipped Bedrock AgentCore Payments
They want to turn AI agents into actual economic users of the chain. Seems like everything is lining up for AI season on Base.
Thereβs no second-best place for devs to build AI tech onchain right now. So if devs leverage the infra, what are they building?
β GitHub for AI agents
β zk privacy layer for AI agent payments
β universal routing layer that lets AI agents access thousands of microservices
β AI agents that autonomously optimize codebases
β multi-agent swarm systems
My personal trading thesis is that $VVV is huge, and early money there is probably starting to look further down the Base AI curve for the next bets.
A lot of good tech already deployed, and a lot more still coming.
@gitlawb | $gitlawb went 30x in about 2 weeks, which proves how insane AI utility coins on Base can move and how it can happen at any time.
Some coins I'm accumulating with this thesis:
β @virtuals_io | $VIRTUAL: team contributes to the Base AI stack, integrated Venice for private AI agent building, pushing the robotics narrative
β @nockchain | $NOCK: settlement layer and programmable gold backed by useful compute infra. Addresses both PoW energy concerns and exploding AI compute demand.
β @openservai | $SERV: solves the real AI scaling crisis and unlocks data privacy and auditability for enterprise/gov. Full stack for deploying AI agents autonomously.
β @dphnAI | $POD: leading uncensored/small models on Hugging Face and powers the uncensored side of Venice. Infra for the part of AI that's growing fastest (cheap + uncensored).
β @aeonframework | $AEON: fully autonomous AI agent framework built on GitHub Actions with 193 pre-built skills. Heard PewDiePie merged it.
NFA, not all of these gonna run. Just something that makes sense to me.
Pakistan says US-Iran peace deal within 24hrs.
BTC moved to $64.1K. 20, 50 EMA and VWAP all reclaimed. RSI at 59: buyers back without overheating.
Fear and Greed still at 20. $66.1K is the 100 EMA resistance.
The geopolitical bid is real. But does it hold if the deal slips?
A guy getting a forehead tattoo for 40 SOL is the most cursed thing in this market Iβve ever seen.
Within hours after launch, @Pumpfun GO had 320+ active bounties, 1K+ submissions, and ~$205K in rewards.
The minimum bounty is only $5, so anyone can instantly become a buyer of labor, content, or attention.
By now:
β $58K paid out
β $265K unclaimed rewards across 750 bounties
β 3.1K submissions
Still, the forehead tattoo incident showed why the upside could get very stupid very fast.
Dude went viral and $BOUTYWORK ran way harder than the actual bounty was worth.
Trenchers used to raid for $WIF, $CHILLGUY for free. Now Alon wants communities working for their bags while actually getting paid.
I get it. He wants the game to be more fun.
A token creator can now put $5K into escrow and pay people globally for memes, TikToks, Spaces, clips, IRL content, and whatever stunt can push the narrative forward.
People donβt even need to gamble on the token. They can take fixed SOL rewards while the community takes the market risk.
Best case, every token treasury becomes a customer acquisition budget.
Token launches β dev earns fees β GO bounties β hunters compete to produce content β more buyers β more fees β treasury grows β next campaign.
A full marketing team can now be summoned from the internet.
Why do I think GO might create a fresh wave for memecoins?
β plugs perfectly into every https://t.co/g5rlhmzQsG product
β largest factory of internet-native assets that need attention to survive
What I'm really waiting for is enough completed tasks so GO starts creating a public market price for human attention.
Web2 knows pieces of this data, but it hides them inside ad auctions and private brand deals.
If we keep getting more fun on the internet, pumpfun keeps printing money and more $PUMP gets soaked up.
I riding that thesis.
The market reaction tells a different story than the headlines.
Over the past week, roughly $1.7B left spot Bitcoin ETFs, and crypto funds have seen significant outflows.
The easy conclusion is that something is fundamentally broken.
Iβm not convinced.
What stands out to me is that the pressure seems to be coming from macro uncertainty rather than anything specific to crypto itself.
Geopolitical tensions, shifting rate expectations, and capital chasing AI-related opportunities have all hit risk appetite at the same time.
Even the narratives getting blamed for the selloff donβt fully explain the magnitude of the move.
Is this a temporary confidence shock or the start of a broader de-risking cycle?
Seems like the $BASE token is just around the corner. I just bought $Bnkr | @bankrbot to front-run the Base season.
So, why $Bnrk?
Bankr is an AI agent launch bot on Base that automatically earns fees from trading and self-funds its AI costs (inference/LLM) without needing any initial capital.
Right now, Bankr is one of the main pieces on Base for launching tokens, besides $Virtual (which already has a pretty high mcap).
The flywheel is self-sustaining:
Launch token β trading volume increases β fees flow to creators (57%) + platform β platform uses the fees to subsidize LLM/compute for agents β attracts more agents & users β even more volume.
Key solid stats on Bankr so far:
β Total volume: $4.7B
β $30.36M total fees generated ($12M to Bankr + $18M to creators)
Recent projects launched through Bankr have been performing really well: $gitlawb, $aeon, $Nook, $clawbank, $Rootai.
Compared to $Virtual sitting at ~$600M fdv, I think $Bnrk at just $44M fdv looks way more attractive.
I believe once @base launches its token, the degen wave on Base will come roaring back, bringing tons of new projects and launches, which should give $Bnkr a strong tailwind.
While the broader market continues showing signs of weakness, DeFi remains one of the few sectors still delivering meaningful innovation and product upgrades.
Among recent developments, these are the five that have impressed me the most:
1/ @Morpho raises $175M
Morpho continues strengthening its position as one of the leading lending protocols after securing a massive $175 million funding round.
The capital will help accelerate product development, improve capital efficiency, and expand its competitive advantage within onchain lending.
I see this as another strong signal that lending remains one of the most attractive sectors in DeFi today.
2/ @OndoFinance launches Ondo Perps
Ondo is bringing TradFi liquidity onchain through perpetual markets for equities and commodities.
This represents another major step toward connecting traditional financial markets with crypto infrastructure.
What I particularly like is that this approach has the potential to attract real institutional capital rather than relying solely on retail speculation.
3/ @ethena_labs partners with @Centrifuge
Ethena is expanding the backing of USDe by incorporating Real World Assets.
This diversification helps strengthen the sustainability of the model and reduces reliance on funding-rate-driven returns.
In my view, this is one of the smartest strategic moves Ethena has made so far.
4/ @Babylon_Labs enables native $BTC borrowing on @Aave V4 testnet
Native Bitcoin-backed borrowing is finally becoming a reality.
Users can utilize $BTC as collateral within Aave without relying on wrapped assets such as WBTC.
This could unlock a significant amount of dormant Bitcoin liquidity and represents an important milestone for Bitcoin DeFi.
5/ @Starknet introduces STRK20
Starknet is pushing privacy further with a framework designed for ERC-20 assets.
As regulation continues evolving, privacy is becoming increasingly important for onchain finance.
In my POV, Starknet is addressing one of the most important long-term challenges facing blockchain adoption.
Overall, this week's developments highlight three major themes:
β RWA integration
β Privacy infrastructure
β Institutional-grade products
Capital continues flowing toward protocols with real products, real adoption, and clear revenue models.
At the same time, DeFi is evolving beyond pure yield farming and moving closer toward deeper integration with TradFi and Bitcoin liquidity.
