when @cflan_ and I started @UnitZeroLabs, we set out on a mission to bring institutional-grade risk, analytics, & advisory to DeFi. We're thrilled that our work has led to this next chapter: Unit Zero Labs is joining @BirchHill_io
We started by helping protocols design better economics. Now we're building the infrastructure that bridges TradFi and DeFi. Same mission, bigger scale.
Grateful to everyone who supported us along the way.
Proud to announce that Unit Zero Labs has been acquired by @BirchHill_io!
Our team continues forward as Birch Hill Labs, building Benchmark on @megaeth and bringing institutional-grade risk curation to DeFi.
Excited to scale from tokenomics & risk advisory to full-stack institutional yield infrastructure.
Excited to introduce @birchhill_io.
Our view is that risk curation will continue to be the fastest growing segment within DeFi. Building on top of what @cflan_ & @jfo____ have built with Unit Zero, we believe together we make 1+1 = 5.
More to share soon.
Hyperliquid is setting the precedent for every major protocol to launch their own stablecoin.
$220M in annual yield could get redirected to the @Hyperliquidx ecosystem with USDH. The real story is buried across hundreds of threads, Discord channels, and Twitter spaces.
Most people have no idea what's actually happening and it's overwhelming to get up to speed.
We built the USDH Proposal HQ to cut through the noise: one living document tracking every development, @Polymarket odds embedded in real-time, all seven proposals compared side-by-side, "Follow the Conversation" thread featuring top tweets, videos and community sentiment.
Current proposals:
- @Paxos/ @paxoslabs, has @paypal support
- Native Markets w/ @stablecoin (Bridge) alliance
- @bastion
- @SkyEcosystem
- @ethena
- @fraxfinance
- Agora, @withAUSD Coalition
This vote ends September 14th. The outcome doesn't just determine Hyperliquid's future - it's the blueprint every venue with major distribution will follow for protocol-owned stablecoins.
Tomorrow on Stabledash Live: Paxos, FRAX, and Bastion confirmed to dive into their proposals.
@Ripple (the company behind $XRP ) just made their most aggressive move yet to establish their stablecoin $RLUSD as a competitor in the corporate stablecoin space.
They announced plans to acquire @Railfinancial for $200M. Rail is a global payments platform specializing in B2B stablecoin settlements.
Rail's CEO @bkohli claims they're processing 10% of ALL global B2B stablecoin payments which totaled approx $36B. That's $3.6B in volume they're bringing to Ripple's ecosystem.
This isn't just an acquisition. It's Ripple buying serious market share overnight.
$RLUSD now has enterprise-grade payment infrastructure ready to go and their marketcap has more than doubled in the last 60 days.
The enterprise stablecoin wars heating up.
We're wrapping up week 4-- sinks and faucets🚰
We had @UnitZeroLabs host a session focused on the critical aspects of tokenomics and mechanism design.
The duo shared insights on how to design tokens that drive user behavior, using principles from video game economics like ‘sinks’ and ‘faucets’ to balance token supply and demand.
They also highlighted the importance of modeling and optimization, explaining how stochastic and agent-based models can help identify risks and improve token performance.
The session explored case studies, including how poorly designed tokenomics can lead to market collapses, while thoughtful strategies can ensure long-term sustainability.

The next few challenges of the UCRP will be released this week!
we'll be analyzing the opportunity cost incurred by LPs in AMMs compared to a dynamic rebalancing strategy (better known as LVR).
we want to know: does LVR exist, and how much do LPs stand to lose?
stay tuned!
