I'm liking what I'm seeing onchain with experimentation:
$ORE on SOL: PoW mining game where you bid for tiles and get paid. Retraced from the mania from last year and is coming back. They've also bought back half of their market cap.
$SATO on ETH: V4 hook experimentation with the bonding curve with a contract that runs itself. Retraced but went on a monster run to $32M
$PRISM on ETH: Another novel V4 hook implementation where you provide liquidity by holding the token and you get fees.
$FIRE on Base: Hold time weighted distribution. The longer you hold, the higher your reward rate from the pool. Selling resets your reward rate to zero. This creates a rising price floor over time as holders are less likely to sell because it means giving up their advantage.
These are all original contracts deployed without a launchpad.
Contract level experimentation is back.
