Going live at 5pm AEST (in 14 mins) to trial public livestreaming, will be about 3 ppl coming, feel free to be one of those and to abuse me in the chat.

Discussing all things $BTC $ETH $SPX $NQ $DXY $OIL, the middle eastern conflict, altcoin outperformers like $ZEC, $HYPE, $TAO in recent months. Narratives, catalysts, and more.

Come on down

[Jago @0xJagoilio]

PVE indeed, GG's, WP @iw_crypto.
Still holding some for higher, this strength throughout the liquidation event/this nasty chop is rather impressive (NFA).

However, it opens your eyes to how resistant to such events coins are that have such little leverage access (particularly on major exchanges).

Whilst most sit on the timeline complaining about x, y and z, you are missing out on the plethora of opportunities this market provides every day.

@Aleks_LUNAtic @0xJagoilio Replying with an older tweet that was irrelevant about longs 1 month before the bottom is weird

Replying and then blocking someone so they can't even respond to your shitty reply is weirder

Saylor DCA price for the scam $BTC is $67,485 and that looser will be underwater for sure. For quite a long time.

Market is coming for him.

[Jago @0xJagoilio]

Love seeing that a number of my clients received a lovely amount of the @SonicLabs $S airdrop.

Shoutout @ClintLuna for steering the ship!

My boy Hisham too @0xShamboy, the GOAT DeFi quant, doing the hard yards for everyone and getting the right strategies and plays in place!

Onwards and upwards.

[Crypto Coach Will @cryptocoachwill]

We’ve just crossed one of the most important levels in the entire crypto cycle, and most people still don’t realise what that means.

Ethereum breaking past $2,800 wasn’t just another chart move—it was the signal we’ve been waiting for.

The altcoin market is waking up.
The window to prepare is NOW.

If you're new to crypto, this could be your first real chance at a meaningful run.

If you're already in the market, ask yourself honestly:
Are you getting the results you should be getting?

Because the truth is… STRATEGY MATTERS.

You don’t need to do this alone.

We’ve helped thousands build serious wealth over the last 8 years, and this next cycle is just getting started.

📲 Book a call, get your game plan, and let’s make this bull run count.

Hyperliquid.

No matter how you look at this, it's as clean, as strong, as uptrending and as bullish as it can get.
Every pivot Fibonacci defeated, every daily, weekly, monthly candle as confluence grabbed and eventually reclaimed.

Literally any angle you take. Fib, horizontals, diagonals...
S/R Flips? Monthly Candle Highs? Nothing for Hyperliquid.
January and February Monthly Candle highs smashed, and the last two weekly candle highs prior to ATHs haven't even mattered... ATHs are less than 10% away now.

If you are invested in alt shitters that have hardly put a dent in this market, stop overthinking it, spreading yourself thin, and trying to plonk yourself all in via an underperforming shitters vs BTC.

This cycle is about picking outperformers - whether that be current outperformance, or predicting future outperformance in certain blockchains/tokens that have underperformed, but you see as outperforming soon enough when QE kicks in and there is a more risk-on environment.. The latter is more difficult of course, and there are no guarantees, whereas the former you have right in front you.

Invest in technology that is advancing our industry - an improvement on the absolute bullshit that is mostly out there. The latter (underperformers to date) can be blockchains such as Sonic, Bittensor, Chainlink, et al, whereas the former (current outperformer) is Hyperliquid.

Your favourite influencer such as Alex Becker might tell you to buy ETH 8 times a week and multiple AI shitters that are sub 8m MC, when you could just be PVEing it through the current outperformer in Hyperliquid, whilst patiently waiting for conditions to improve the alt market as a whole for other underperformers you're currently sitting in.

Look at the charts. Men lie, women lie, charts don't.

Not only has $HYPE 3x'd from the bottom of April lows, it has outperformed $BTC by over 130% too - exactly what you want:
Look at the fundamentals. Open interest hit an ATH of $8.9b yesterday, with 24hr fees hitting $5.4m, and the USDC TVL growing to $3.2b.

Its market share only continues to grow. CEXs are scared. This is the product of ALL PRODUCTS. Decentralised perpetual futures. The best business in the game.

HyperEVM? Oh that too.

The best part? Most of this demand is native to crypto. Soon enough, beyond us keen crypto anons and the assistance fund, retail/normies, liquid funds, tradFi firms and other various crypto whales will succumb to the great PVE nature that is Hyperliquid.

Stop overthinking it.

You don't need to PVP in the trenches all day every day.

You don't need to sit in the one token, or ecosystem, and sit flat on your hands just waiting and waiting when there are GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES staring at your right in the face that are easy to grasp.

Make the right choice (NFA).

Choose $HYPE.

Hyperliquid.

[Jago @0xJagoilio]

I am back - in a big way.

A project a weekday for @SonicLabs (with a brief month hiatus).

I took a break from providing detailed breakdowns of the numerous quality protocols and projects on Sonic that users could utilise to earn/airdrop farm.

Today, I am back with Project #7 - Metropolis Exchange: @MetropolisDEX

(Previously had done Silo, Beets, Shadow, Rings, SwapX and Equalizer).

Never has there been a more important time to those that are native to Sonic, or outside of Sonic to understand the true growth and further potential growth this ecosystem has.

After METRO, I am moving beyond the decentralised protocols - community projects, memes, gaming, AI, and the nitty gritty projects in the trenches are up next - I can't wait!

Now without further ado...

What is Metropolis Exchange?
Metropolis Exchange is a native Decentralised Exchange (DEX) on the Sonic blockchain, powered by Uni V2 (AMM) and Joe V2.2 Liquidity Book (DLMM) models, making it a hub for efficient liquidity provision and trading. Home to the $METRO token, Metropolis offers a flexible platform where users can swap tokens with zero slippage, provide liquidity, stake $METRO for rewards, and participate in governance through voting and bribing. Built on Sonic’s high-speed, low-cost EVM chain, Metropolis aims to deliver capital-efficient liquidity strategies and seamless trading experiences for the Sonic ecosystem.

Metropolis Exchange combines advanced DeFi mechanisms with user-friendly features. Its AMM V2 pools distribute 60% of swap fees to LPs, 30% to $METRO stakers, and 10% to protocol expenses, with fees auto-compounded into active bins. DLMM Liquidity Book (LB) pools offer concentrated liquidity, distributing 80% of fees to LPs, 15% to $METRO stakers, and 5% to expenses, with zero slippage and low fees. Liquidity strategies like Normal (Bell Curve), Spot (Uniform), and advanced options (e.g., De-peg Bets, DCA) cater to diverse risk profiles. $METRO stakers can vote weekly on pool emissions (1 $METRO = 1 vote, min 90-day lock) and earn bribes, while DLMM Farms incentivise specific bins with $METRO or partner token rewards.

Metro also has a tasty NFT collection. The METRONIX Collection is a set of 777 unique art pieces divided into three fractions: Humans, Robots, and Lizards. These visually striking NFTs are more than just profile pictures (PFPs) — they establish you as an OG member of Metropolis, while unlocking exclusive benefits within the ecosystem. Each METRONIX NFT grants whitelist privileges for the $METRO Token Fairlaunch. The more NFTs you hold, the higher your participation cap. Small $METRO Token Airdrops: A total of 250,000 $METRO. These tokens are being airdropped to METRONIX holders over six months! The Metro community itself proposed to create METRONIX DAO which currently holds 276, 881 METRO. These Metro tokens are staked for a 3x multiplier and protocol revenue is shared equally to NFT holders, with bribes being used to buy Metro and stake it further!

Important Statistics:
- $3.32m Total Value Locked (TVL)
- $2.24m market capitalisation
- $0.4482 token price as of writing
- Circulating supply of 5,000,000 tokens
- Total/Max Supply of 100,000,000 tokens

Like the other protocols, Metropolis users earn Sonic Points and Gems through protocol activity, which contribute to your share of the Sonic airdrop.

Potential yield farming/Sonic airdrop points plays and alpha utilising Metro:

1) Stake $METRO to earn protocol rewards

Strategy Concept: Swap your funds to $METRO, then deposit into the staking pool to earn protocol rewards.
Step 1: Swap your funds to $METRO,
Step 2: Deposit into the $METRO staking pool,

APR: 39% APR
Form of rewards: $USDC

----------

2) Deposit into wS/METRO pool

Strategy Concept: Swap half of your funds into $METRO, wrap the other half ($S) to obtain $wS (Wrapped Sonic), then deposit and stake both into the wS-METRO Simple V2 pool.
Step 1: Swap half of your funds to $METRO,
Step 2: Wrap half of your $S to acquire $wS,
Step 3: Deposit $METRO and $wS into the wS-METRO Simple V2 pool, then stake the LP tokens,

APR: 48% APR
Form of rewards: $METRO
Other Incentives: 8x Sonic Activity Points on wS

----------

3) Deposit into stS/wS pool

Strategy Concept: Wrap half of your $S to obtain $wS (Wrapped Sonic), swap or stake the other half into $oS, then deposit and stake both into the oS-wS DLMM pool.
Step 1: Wrap half of your $S to acquire $wS,
Step 2: Swap or stake the other half of your $S into $stS (via DEX or by staking through Beets),
Step 3: Deposit $wS and $oS into the stS-wS DLMM pool, then stake the LP tokens,

APR: 28% APR
Form of rewards: $METRO
Other Incentives: 8x Sonic Activity Points on wS, 8x Sonic Activity Points on oS

----------

And that'll do it for Metropolis Exchange!

Glad to be back doing a project a weekday for @SonicLabs $S again, it feels like right here right now is the most important time for the community and ecosystem to band together to strive to new heights.

People can FUD us, but they won't keep us down. Soon, the tides turn for Sonic - the tech becomes realised by many, and those down in the dumps will be relishing the new paradigm of joy they will be experiencing.

Back at it tomorrow!

Sonic.

[Jago @0xJagoilio]

Literally a couple more cents and a few of these bad boys begin covering and start rolling with us good guys again.

$S has not closed a solid daily or weekly candle above $0.60 with strength since pre March essentially when it was a brief "Sonic Season".

It is not far off closing that first daily candle above $0.60 in an hour, just 3% off of its 2nd last Lower High (LH):
As I have noted several times prior, a few daily closes, and more importantly even tomorrow's weekly close in 24hours above this area would confirm a structural market shift from bearish to bullish.

More simplistically, this is Sonic's most important technical level on the chart - with its major .382 from its Feb high to April Lows coming right in at this integral S/R flip:
A break above this level, confirming the MS, and getting continuation would lead us straight to the March monthly candle high that aligns with our major upside Golden Pocket at $0.75-$0.78.

Oh this isn't to actually mention the tech - how could we forget the tech!

Well, per @TheBlockBureau on May 7th, 2025, @SonicLabs blockchain achieved the second-highest transactions per second (TPS) ever recorded on an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) blockchain.

At 11:35 AM, Sonic processed 1,097 transactions per second to finality, totaling 65, 838 transactions in a single minute. Users worldwide reported no downtime, noting that the web interface's button-click response was slower than the transaction finalisation itself.

With a theoretical capacity of nearly 400, 000 TPS, Sonic's infrastructure far exceeds current demand, and full-scale testing of its limits is still forthcoming.

Impressive, huh?

TVL still grinding upwards and to the right, as I always stated it would since Sonic dropped...
This is going to continue for many months to come.

App revenue continues to accelerate at lightning speed, daily fees are following, with huge stablecoin inflows.

Just over the last 3 months, net inflows:
$S: +$629M
$ETH: +$437M
$ARB: +$330M
$UNI (Unichain): +$276M
$BASE: +$226M
$SOL: +$36M
$BTC: +$22M
$HYPE: +$5M

League of its own.

Chart speaks for itself, tech speaks for itself, and the data never lies.

Sonic.

[Jago @0xJagoilio]

A reminder that you allow someone called Jerome Powell to guide you on the $DXY.

I use thy Horoscope for Men to predict future probabilistic ideas such as the Demise of the Greatest Empire known to man through harmonic shapes named after animals that are based around magical mathematic numbers and sequences:
We are not the same.

The lower the $DXY goes, the higher $BTC goes:
Look at even the Pacific Peso $AUD, my native currency:
Since 1966 the Pacific Peso has Lost ~94% (1 AUD in 1966 = 6 cents in 2025 terms).

Do you understand yet?

Freedom, not fiat - get yourself on right side of history and begin stacking sats.

[Jago @0xJagoilio]

Game on for $BTC:
What a chad move for Bitcoin.

Uncertainty at All Time Highs throughout the financial markets...

Digital Gold is here?

Higher High is sought after now. Not the worst spot to hedge here, as really, $92,000/USD should be our final boss until a grind to $100k + if we are shifting to bullish market structure here from a medium time frame bearish market structure in which we have been playing out a Wyckoff Distribution Pattern.

That looks like it is ending now:
After all, you didn't fade the infamous Hash Ribbons signal did you?
Hash rate continues to soar as well. Miners capitulated hard on this downtrend. They are being switched back on. Study the economics of Bitcoin.

Even if you were a traditional chartist, the Falling Wedge that had been playing out into High Time Frame critical major levels of support was clean:
This is what could fuel the next move to our next Higher High.

To those that missed the current bottom - never say never in the world of crypto. We are at major supply/resistance here. We could see a retest of low $80k's on a horrific rejection, hence not the worst spot to either hedge with shorts, or TPing on longs - however, as I always say, $BTC has an immense ability to leave the majority in the dust and sidelined.

As a result, downside targets of $70-$72k (which most are waiting on) or $64-$66k (election lows) may never come. Historically, Bitcoin has never once over the course of its infancy revisited the prior election low.

This is why Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) as a spot investor is by far the greatest investing technique you can utilise in the cryptocurrency market.

All in all - I believe it's all falling into place for $BTC.

DXY (USD) in free fall. Gold at ATHs. Boomers jeeting stonks to buy them back every 2nd day.

Don't let the short term macro distractions and uncertainty missteer you from glory.

Beyond the charts, crypto native fundamentals have never been stronger:
- First "Bitcoin President"
- Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
- Paul Atkins SEC chair
- Stablecoin Regulations (STABLE Act, Genius Act, Clarify for Payments Stablecoins Act)
- End of "Operation Choke Point 2.0"
- David Sacks as White House Crypto Czar
- Crypto-friendly congressional leadership
- Potential shift of Crypto oversight to CFTC
- Crypto Advisory Council
- BTC ETF Inflows will return, with further alt coin ETFs to be launched (70+ in the works)
- Corporate Treasury adoption

Long term vision.

Up, and up and to the right.

I am ready.

$BTC

[Jago @0xJagoilio]

A hard time to interpret price action...

CME chart has created a gap above now.

Downtrend, bearish market structure on medium time frames still persists.

Hash Ribbons buy signal still there, hash rate is ramping up too.
$ES, $NQ murdered into oblivion. Boomers in despair. Weekly closures in 2 hours, this is insanity right now...

Context: these markets are getting near COVID numbers now... Think about that for a second. Also looking to enter the top 25 worst 3 day streaks in financial markets history. Remarkable.

I guess as usual, it's not over until the fat lady sings.

$76.5k is significant, and the fact BTC has not revisited these lows in current conditions is truly unbelievable, but it's not far off.

If it holds, max long (NFA).

What a week it will be.

There's a few worrying signs coming in via the charts that could be interpreted as bearish continuation to the downside, as opposed to probabilities presenting that the bottom is in - the first is the fact we've now lost our multi-year log-scale uptrend:
Additionally, on relative scale, we are losing diagonal trend from our August $49k low, so there's no reason to think lower on $BTC can't come despite there being relative strength vs other markets for now:
If so, this means we would continue to play out that bearish MTF market structure to our next lower low:
Both of those levels are important structural support levels for the lower low to land, which could be crucial investing/trading pivots.

This my friends:
Is what you call insane aura:
$DXY

Retar DiTrumpio.

[Jago @0xJagoilio]

Day 4 of a project a weekday for @SonicLabs!

I shall continue the beginning of this series with our TVL/GM/DeFi leaders to aid you in identifying different protocols to utilise to maximise your points for the impending $S airdrop.

Project #4 - Rings Protocol: @Rings_Protocol

What is Rings Protocol?
Rings Protocol is a yield-bearing meta-assets protocol on Sonic, serving as the central hub for the veNFT system of Sonic Labs. Developed by @Mithras_Labs (known for @Paladin_vote) and the @TholgarFi team, Rings introduces advanced yield strategies and a governance model inspired by Solidly, positioning itself as a public good stablecoin. At its core, Rings allows users to mint fee-free tokens like Sonic USD (scUSD) and Sonic ETH (scETH) by depositing stablecoins or ETH derivatives, which are managed by Veda Vaults to generate high yields. Operating on Sonic’s high-speed, low-cost EVM chain, Rings Protocol drives liquidity and engagement in the Sonic ecosystem through its innovative DeFi strategies.

The protocol’s gauge system, inspired by Solidly, allows scUSD/scETH/scBTC holders to hold tokens liquidly, stake for yield (earning stkscUSD/stkscETH/stkscBTC), or lock for governance (earning veUSD/veETH/veBTC veNFTs) to vote on incentives and earn bribe rewards. Rings also uses LayerZero technology to bridge tokens to Sonic, ensuring seamless integration while assets accrue returns on Ethereum.

Important statistics (as of writing):
- $138.35m Total Value Locked (TVL) including Ethereum
- $59.85m TVL native to Sonic

- Points: https://t.co/5T0muRZ4VP
- Discord: https://t.co/CGpcpIrcW5

Rings Protocol is a cornerstone of Sonic’s DeFi ecosystem, leveraging Sonic’s infrastructure to offer fee-free minting and high-yield opportunities. Rings’ scUSD, scETH and scBTC tokens come with boosted Sonic Points multipliers (6x, 4x, 2x respectively), making it a top choice for users aiming to maximise their share of the 190.5M $S token airdrop. Its focus on governance and yield makes it a vital part of Sonic’s DeFi landscape.

Potential yield farming/Sonic airdrop points plays and alpha utilising Rings:

As for the LP strategies for scUSD, scETH, and scBTC, I think it's best to use SwapX DEX because a large amount of liquidity is there. This means that yields will most likely be more stable/sustainable compared to pools on other DEX's.

We will explore SwapX tomorrow.

1) scUSD Strategy: Deposit into the wstkscUSD/scUSD pool on SwapX

Strategy Concept: Deposit USDC to get scUSD, then stake scUSD to get stkscUSD, and wrap stkscUSD into wstkscUSD on Rings Protocol. After that, deposit and stake wstkscUSD into the stkscUSD/scUSD pool on SwapX.

Step 1: Deposit USDC to get scUSD in Rings Protocol
Step 2: Stake scUSD to get stkscUSD in Rings Protocol
Step 3: Wrap stkscUSD into wstkscUSD in Rings Protocol
Step 4: Deposit wstkscUSD (single token deposit) into the wstkscUSD/scUSD pool on SwapX and stake the LP tokens.

APR: 23% APR
Form of rewards: $SWPx token rewards
Other Incentives: 12x Sonic Activity Points and 2x Rings points on $wstkscUSD, 12x Sonnix Activity Points and 1.5x Rings Points on scUSD

----------

2) scETH Strategy: Deposit into the scETH/WETH pool on SwapX

Strategy Concept: Deposit WETH to get scETH, then deposit and stake scETH into the scETH/WETH pool on SwapX.

Step 1: Deposit WETH to get scETH in Rings Protocol
Step 2: Deposit scETH (single token deposit) into the scETH/WETH pool on SwapX and stake the LP tokens

APR: 13% APR
Form of rewards: $SWPx token rewards
Other Incentives: 4x Sonic Activity Points on $scETH, 1.5x Rings Points on scAssets

----------

3) scBTC Strategy: Deposit into the WBTC/scBTC pool on SwapX.

Strategy Concept: Deposit WBTC to get scBTC, then deposit and stake scBTC into the WBTC/scBTC pool on SwapX.

Step 1: Deposit WBTC to get scBTC in Rings Protocol
Step 2: Deposit scBTC (single token deposit) into the WBTC/scBTC pool on SwapX and stake the LP tokens.

APR: 13% APR
Form of rewards: $SWPx token rewards
Other Incentives: Sonic Activity Points on $scBTC, 0.125x Rings Points on scAssets

----------

Alternatively, you can stake your LP tokens on Beefy if you prefer a "buy and forget" investing strategy. Beefy will auto-compound your earnings for you. On SwapX, you will have to manually claim your rewards. However, Beefy charges a small fee for auto-compounding.

That's it for todays project a weekday for @SonicLabs $S.

Back at it tomorrow & Friday!

Sonic.

[Jago @0xJagoilio]

Day 3 of a project a weekday for @SonicLabs!

Today, we continue our conquest to one of the best projects on Sonic.

Project #3 - Shadow Exchange: @ShadowOnSonic

What is Shadow Exchange?
Shadow Exchange is the ultimate trading hub on Sonic, a concentrated liquidity DEX designed to deliver fast, efficient trading and maximize rewards for users. Built on Sonic’s high-speed, low-cost EVM chain, Shadow Exchange uses the innovative x(3,3) incentive model—a more fluid evolution of the ve(3,3) model—to enable users to trade assets, provide liquidity, and stake tokens for fees, voting rewards, and airdrop incentives. It leverages Sonic’s FeeM system, which returns 90% of gas spent through dynamic fees and arbitrage (MEV), enhancing the user experience and making it a core trading protocol in Sonic’s DeFi ecosystem.

Shadow Exchange offers a range of features that make it a powerhouse in Sonic’s DeFi landscape. Its concentrated liquidity model allows users to provide liquidity within specific price ranges, optimising capital efficiency and maximizing trading fees. The x(3,3) incentive model enables $SHADOW holders to convert their tokens 1:1 into xSHADOW, which can be staked to earn 100% of protocol fees, voting rewards, and rebases, with additional “bribe rewards” for voting on reward allocations to liquidity pools.

$x33 is the liquid staked version of $xSHADOW, which is minted at the bottom of the staking page here: https://t.co/sLB4aMOwWL, allowing users to maintain liquidity while earning rewards. Unlike $xSHADOW, which is staked for fees and voting, $x33 can be traded on DEXs, offering instant liquidity without exit penalties - though its price reflects $xSHADOW’s redemption value to prevent arbitrage. The $x33:$xSHADOW ratio increases over time as fees, voting rewards, and rebases accrue, automatically boosting $x33’s value. This makes $x33 a flexible way to participate in Shadow Exchange’s x(3,3) model, earn Sonic Points, and potentially benefit from the $S airdrop.

I personally roll with $x33.

Shadow Exchange has solidified its position as a leading DEX on Sonic.

Heading over to https://t.co/ERk4PApk52 shows the true strength of Shadow.

Just today, as of writing, over $68m in volume, with close to $100k in fees generated, even in these bleak conditions.

TVL still sits at $63.2m with a peak of $162m at the end of February.

The catch? Shadow has a market capitalisation of only $16.7m. This is borderline insanity for the uniqueness and utility of Shadow.

Why am I pointing this out? According to DeFiLlama, if you were to annualise Shadow's fees, they would be generating $44.36m. Underpriced? Undervalued? You bet.

Important statistics (as of writing):
- $16.7m market capitalisation
- $57.79 token price
- 10,000,000 maximum token supply
- 289,425 circulating token supply
- 3,367,352 total token supply

Shadow Exchange is of course a gems holder. Shadow offers several ways to earn points that can boost your share of the Sonic airdrop, including providing liquidity, staking xShadow or minting $x33, voting on pools and more. Shadow E users earn Sonic Points and Gems incentives through protocol activity, which contribute to your share of the Sonic airdrop.

Potential yield farming/Sonic airdrop points plays and alpha on Beets:

1) Deposit into the S-SHADOW Pool. Simplest play!

Strategy Concept: Convert half of your $S into $SHADOW and provide liquidity to the S/SHADOW pool on Shadow Exchange.

Step 1: Swap 50% of your $S for $SHADOW via Shadow Exchange.
Step 2: Go to the Liquidity section and deposit into the S/SHADOW pool.
Step 3: Stake your S/SHADOW LP position in the Dashboard to start earning rewards.

Base APR: 51% APR
Form of rewards: xShadow, $x33, Wrapped S
Incentives: Sonic Activity Points on your $S holdings

----------

2) Deposit into the USDC.e/x33 pool. x33 is the liquid staking token for $SHADOW

Strategy Concept: Buy $SHADOW with half of your capital play to convert it to xShadow and then mint x33. As for the half of your capital, convert it to USDC.e. Then deposit into USDC.e/x33 pool.

Step 1: Convert half of your capital play to $SHADOW (via staking or Shadow Exchange swap).
Step 2: Convert SHADOW to xSHADOW
Step 3: Stake xSHADOW to mint $x33 (LST for xSHADOW)
Step 4: Convert half of your capital play to USDC.e (via staking or Shadow Exchange swap).
Step 5: Go to the Liquidity section and then deposit into the USDC.e/x33 Pool
Step 6: Go to the Dashbord section and then stake your S/SHADOW position to ensure you're earning reward

Base APR: 91% APR
Form of rewards: xShadow, $SHADOW
Incentives: Sonic Activity Points on your $USDC.e holdings

----------

3) Delta-Neutral S/oS Liquidity (Intermediate Strategy)

Strategy: Provide liquidity in the S/oS pool while hedging exposure with a short position on Hyperliquid for a delta-neutral play.
Step 1: Stake a portion of your $S into oS via the Origin protocol.
Step 2: Provide liquidity to the S/oS pool on Shadow Exchange within a narrow price range
Step 3: Open a 1x short position on S via Hyperliquid to hedge price exposure.

Base APR: 46% APR (Narrow range)
Form of rewards: xShadow
Incentives: Sonic Activity Points

----------

Not only the above, but you could simply LP any meme you hold on Sonic, whether that be DERP, GOGLZ, THC, and more, and pair it with your $S, to generate huge amounts of xSHADOW to continue building that bag to earn more of the protocols fees. This is something I do!

That'll be it for Shadow!

Insanely undervalued, under priced utility token, and unique decentralised exchange that is showing the potential to be one of the greats,

If the market allows, and $S begins to rally, Shadow should be one of the prime beta plays that highly succeeds and generates incredible returns (NFA).

See you tomorrow for Day 4 and project 4!

Thanks!

[Jago @0xJagoilio]

A project a day for @SonicLabs.

Really I should say weekday... but you get the gist.

Whilst the market is down, jeets will jeet, your favourite KOL or 'CT influencer' will doom post like the world is ending to get their X pay cheque, the rest of us are studying undervalued ecosystems and projects, using our time wisely to earn on our holdings through DeFi.

Sonic is the BEST PLACE TO DO SO.

So without further ado...

Continuing the theme of those protocols that provide the most Total Value Locked (TVL) to Sonic!

Project #2 - Beets Finance (Beethoven X): @beets_fi

What is Beets?
Beets is the flagship liquid staking token (LST) hub and decentralised exchange (DEX) on Sonic, built to empower users with seamless staking, yield farming, and liquidity provision. Powered by Balancer v2 and v3 technology, Beets allows users to provide liquidity to pools, stake assets (like staked Sonic tokens, stS), and earn rewards through trading fees, staking incentives, and Sonic’s airdrop program. Operating on Sonic’s high-speed, low-cost EVM chain, Beets optimises returns for liquidity providers (LPs) with features like concentrated liquidity and strategic integrations, making it a cornerstone of Sonic’s DeFi ecosystem - which it has been for some time now.

Whether you’re looking to earn yield, farm points for the Sonic airdrop, or trade assets efficiently, Beets is a key player in Sonic’s DeFi landscape and has been for some time.

Beets has quickly become a cornerstone of Sonic’s DeFi ecosystem, with a TVL of $212m (as of recent data), making it one of the largest native projects on Sonic alongside Silo Finance. Its integration with Sonic’s infrastructure ensures low fees and fast transactions, ideal for yield farming and liquidity provision.

Important statistics (as of writing):
- $6.6m market capitalisation
- $0.042 token price
- 243m million max token supply
- 156.6m million circulating token supply
- $212m TVL

Beets offers a range of powerful features that make it a standout in Sonic’s DeFi ecosystem. As a liquid staking hub, users can stake assets like $S to receive stS (Beets Staked Sonic), earning yield while keeping their assets liquid for other DeFi activities.

The platform also supports concentrated liquidity pools, allowing users to provide liquidity within optimised ranges to maximise trading fees and rewards. Additionally, Beets provides staking rewards, enabling users to stake LP tokens or stS to earn extra yield, App Points, and Sonic Gems as part of the airdrop program. Its utility is further enhanced through ecosystem integrations, partnering with protocols like Silo Finance and Lombard to create a seamless experience across Sonic’s DeFi landscape.

Like Silo, Beets also secured a significant allocation of Sonic Gems - approximately 316,749 gems, only second to Silo, positioning it as a top protocol for earning airdrop rewards - perfect for users aiming to maximise their share of the 190.5M $S token airdrop.

Potential yield farming/Sonic airdrop points plays and alpha on Beets:

1) Deposit into the BEETS/stS pool. BEETS is the DEX's native token, and stS is an LST for S.

Strategy Concept: Buy $BEETS with a portion of your capital for LP and then buy stake/convert your S into stS on Beets Platform

Step 1: Convert a portion of your funds to $BEETS
Step 2: Convert or stake $S to $stS (via staking or Beets swap).
Step 3: Go to the https://t.co/P9sH5ke7Iu to create and deposit into the pool named "Fresh Beets" (BEETS/stS Pool).

Max Total APR: 190% APR
Form of rewards: $BEETS, $stS
Incentives: 8x Sonic Activity Points

What is maBeets? Worth mentioning a TLDR of this, as it's an awesome new technological part of the Beets ecosystem:

maBEETS (Maturity Adjusted BEETS) is a governance token system for the Beets DeFi protocol that allows users to participate in decentralised governance while earning protocol revenue.

Unlike traditional governance systems that force users to lock their tokens for fixed periods, maBEETS uses a maturity-based approach where:

- Users deposit into an 80% BEETS / 20% stS liquidity pool
- They receive NFT receipts representing their positions
- These positions gain more voting power and rewards the longer they're held
- Maturity increases weekly and reaches maximum at 11 weeks
- Users can withdraw anytime without forced lockups

The system balances flexibility with incentives for long-term participation. By using a liquidity pool approach rather than simple staking, maBEETS keeps tokens in circulation while still enabling governance participation and distributing protocol revenue to participants.

2) Deposit scUSD/stS LP tokens from Beets on Beefy

Strategy Concept: Buy $scUSD with half of your capital for LP, then stake/convert your S into stS on the Beets platform, then add liquidity into the scUSD/stS Beets pool, and then finally deposit the LP tokens on Beefy

- Step 1: Convert a portion of your funds to $scUSD
- Step 2: Convert or Stake $S to $stS (via staking or Beets swap).
- Step 3: Go to the Pools section and then add liquidity into the pool named 'Put A Ring On It' (scUSD-stS Pool)
- Step 4: Head over to Beefy to deposit LP tokens

Base APR: 40% APR and the rewards are auto-compounded
Incentives: 20x Sonic Activity Points, 1.5x Rings Points

----------

3) Stake S for stS in Beets and then deposit it into the S pool on Spectra

Strategy Concept: Stake your S for stS in Beets, deposit it into the S pool on Spectra, buy and lock $SPECTRA for veSPECTRA, and vote regularly to earn the max APY.

Step 1: Convert half of your capital LP play to $BEETS
Step 1: Convert or Stake $S to $stS (via staking or Beets swap).
Step 3: Go to Spectra and deposit into the S Pool
Step 4: Buy and lock $SPECTRA for veSPECTRA
Step 5: Vote regularly to achieve max APY

Base APR: 59% APR
Form of rewards: $SPECTRA + Swap fees
Incentives: 8x Sonic Activity Points

----------

Like always, there are a plethora of strategies you can employ via Beets, or multiple protocols alongside Beets to maximise rewards, points and potential airdrop rewards. The intention here is to just show the possible ways to utilise the great Beets platform, with those examples providing illustrations of the many possibilities.

That's it for @beets_fi and day 2 of a Sonic project a day (or weekday I should say)!

Looking forward to Day 3 tomorrow!

Thanks!

Four camps: $BTC
- The bottom is in at $76k.
- The bottom is slightly lower at $70-72k.
- The bottom is even lower at $66k.
- The bottom is not in, we are in a bear market.

I have spent so much time on-chain within the @SonicLabs ecosystem acquiring memes, earning through DeFi and thrusting the community to Valhalla that I haven't had time to share my technical analysis thoughts.

Firstly, the $S chart.

On a higher time frame, $S is playing out a beautiful picturesque "Cup & Handle" pattern:
I see this playing out into March and our next thrust upwards to our next weekly high (which is invisible unless you grab an active FTM chart).

The only weekly candle high left unswept prior to our cycle highs of $1.475 or so is at $1.05 from around Christmas time. Time to sweep the Santa candle I reckon - you can visualise the entirety of FTM/S's chart via Kraken and a few other tickers:
As per noted in the above, we suffered a clean .886 retracement, reclaimed the first S/R flip in a clean downtrend break, capturing the next S/R flip in a retest and hold over the weekend. Upside Golden Pocket now aligns with our last weekly high around Christmas en route to our cycle highs just prior to Sonic launch at $1.475.

I expect that Golden Pocket/weekly high to come very soon, and cycle highs thereafter. From there it's game on.

You are already seeing the bridging and inflows to Sonic from various chains, and it makes sense. Why wouldn't you come to the chain continuously outperforming in all technological metrics, where the community is vibing, the chain's CTO & CEO are joining in on the fun, builders are paid and TVL is exploding?

Literally look at it....
As a result, I expect the outperformance vs chains such as Solana to continue:
Of course, DYOR, NFA, but if you're out there lost amongst the chop, just look to the charts, look to the data, look to the technology, look to the TVL and make the leap of faith.

Sonic.
