The Next Wave of Web3 - 8 Innovators Shaping Crypto’s Future

The crypto landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by bleeding-edge projects that blend AI, privacy, and novel finance. In this deep-dive we explore eight rising protocols – from on-chain AI competitions to Bitcoin-powered DeFi – and imagine where they’ll be a year from now (circa 2026). Each is backed by active testnets or funding, and targets real pain points. We’ll look at their goals, recent milestones, and how they plan to mature. The audience: Web3 developers and crypto enthusiasts eager for the next big thing. Let’s dive in.

$RECALL – @recallnet - On-Chain AI Agent Arena

Recall is building a transparent AI agent competition platform on Ethereum. Its testnet (launched Mar 2025) has already attracted 276,000+ unique wallets and ~1M transactions in month one[1]. Recall’s secret sauce is Proof-of-Performance: every AI agent’s trades and reasoning are logged on-chain, so users can audit exactly how well each bot does. Instead of blind claims (“our bot is great”), competitions like AlphaWave objectively rank agents by merit. In fact, Recall’s first AlphaWave contest drew 1,000+ teams competing for a $25K prize. This shift – “AI from a black box to an open arena” – is designed to solve “too many agents, too little trust,” as CEO Andrew Hill puts it.

By 2026 we expect Recall’s mainnet (slated for mid-2025) to be live, cementing an ecosystem of AI developers. With Ceramic’s data layer already planning to anchor to Recall[4], the network could become a hub where any developer runs and benchmarks trading agents in a permissionless way. In the next year we’ll likely see more competitions, richer data feeds, and integration with other on-chain AI tools. For Web3 devs, Recall may offer an instant way to test AI strategies against peers, with outcomes that are verifiable by anyone.

•Track record & data: Recall’s public testnet saw ~276k wallets and 1M+ tx in 1st month[1].
•Verifiable AI contests: In AlphaWave, each bot’s actions are on-chain – 1,000 teams vied for a $25K purse[2].
•Trust by merit: By making every decision “provable and public,” Recall aligns AI incentives with onchain data[3].
•Looking ahead: Mainnet (Q2–Q3 2025) opens the full platform. Expect mature competitions, richer datasets, and partnerships (e.g. Ceramic integration) as Recall grows into a go-to AI benchmarking hub.

$VOOI – @vooi_io - Gasless Cross-Chain Perpetual DEX

VOOI is a chain-abstracted perpetuals DEX, aiming to deliver a Robinhood-like UX in DeFi. Its key innovation is OneBalance: pooled collateral across chains (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB, etc.) so traders never manually bridge or switch networks. Behind the scenes, VOII’s collateral pools subsidize gas, making perp trading effectively gas-free. Traders can even log in with social accounts and use the built-in wallet. The team’s mantra: solve the “ease vs control” dilemma. Instead of multiple wallets and bridges, you get CEX-level simplicity with DeFi’s transparency.

VOOI’s V2 mainnet launched mid-2025 and has already handled on the order of $8.5 billion lifetime volume[7]. The roadmap calls for a community-run V3 by late 2025, introducing token-based rewards, governance, and a points system. This should further align users – those who trade or stake can earn VOII tokens and governance rights[7]. In a year’s time (2026), we expect VOII to have matured into a self-governed perp trading hub: community proposals guiding fees/rewards, cross-chain order books fully enabled, and integrations (e.g. on-chain derivatives or margin tools).

•Chain abstraction: Pools capital so that “trading across chains happens in the background,” avoiding manual bridging.
•UX focus: Social logins + integrated wallets + gasless trades = CEX-like simplicity on-chain.
•Traction: >$8.5B traded so far. V3 (Q4 2025) will add DAO governance, token rewards, and a point system to incentivize liquidity and referrals.
•Outlook: By 2026 VOOI aims to be the “Robinhood for DeFi” – full control in your wallet but with one-click ease. Expect broader chain support, deeper liquidity, and possibly DeFi-native yield products (funding rates, vaults) integrated via its unified interface.

$TEN – @tenprotocol - Encrypted Smart Contracts

TEN Protocol brings privacy to EVM by running contracts inside Intel SGX (and similar) Trusted Execution Environments. In practice, both the smart-contract code and its state are encrypted from validators. This yields instant confidentiality: no more public order-books or visible trading signals. A big win is immunity to MEV – front-running is practically impossible when trades are hidden by default.

Crucially, TEN remains fully EVM-compatible: developers write in Solidity and use MetaMask or other tools, toggling privacy with a single line of code[11]. Its flagship app is House of TEN, a fully on-chain poker game that has already seen 50,000 unique players[12]. This demonstrates real dApps (on-chain randomness, encrypted bets) working in the wild. On testnet, TEN has amassed ~548K wallets and seen peaks of 3.4M tx/day – impressive volume for a new L2.

By 2026 we anticipate TEN moving to mainnet with a full token launch (TGE targeted late 2025) and new private dApps (maybe trading platforms, lotteries, private DAOs). With data privacy built-in, sectors like gaming, cross-border finance, and AI can go “on-chain full stack” without sacrificing secrecy. For Web3 devs, TEN means your code and inputs stay private yet still fully decentralized. This could unlock use-cases previously relegated off-chain, from private automated market-making to confidential insurance contracts.

•Confidentiality by default: Contracts execute inside SGX TEEs; neither validators nor bots see the logic/state.
•MEV immunity: Encrypted transactions cannot be sandwiched or front-run, closing a major DeFi exploit vector.
•User experience: Fully EVM-compatible (“one-line privacy”); you can use MetaMask and usual tools with minimal changes.
•Proof-of-concept: House of TEN (AI-enabled poker) ran 50K+ games on-chain. Testnet attracted 548K wallets.
•Next steps: Mainnet and TGE (~Q4 2025). By 2026 we expect encrypted DEXs or L2 lending (think private order books or secret AMMs) to emerge on TEN. All while preserving programmability and composability.

$OPEN – @OpenledgerHQ - The Sovereign Data Blockchain for AI

OpenLedger is building what it calls a “Payable AI” blockchain: a data layer for AI where every contribution (data, models, compute) is tracked and rewarded on-chain. In effect, it flips today’s AI paradigm – where big labs hoard data – to one where anyone who contributes is tokenized and paid. Under the hood, OpenLedger has an off-chain AI inference layer plus an on-chain settlement layer that anchors results[16]. When a model is trained or used, the protocol’s Proof-of-Attribution automatically rewards the data “payer” whenever their input influences outputs.

The project has raised ~$15M so far (including an $8M seed in 2024). Its testnet metrics are already eye-catching: over 6 million registered nodes, 25 million transactions, 20,000 AI models built and 27 on-chain apps[19]. OpenLedger’s first token (OPEN) is set to launch in September 2025, powering everything from model hosting to governance.

Looking toward 2026, OpenLedger aims to host the “golden” open datasets and models for AI in Web3. This means by next year we could see dApps paying oracles in OPEN to fetch verifiable AI inferences, and new marketplaces for AI datasets where contributors earn fees. Its partnership with restaking/security layers (e.g. integrating with https://t.co/CVtYHqvgNx, since they share “restaked ETH” security) could give it strong decentralized security. The big picture: a parallel ecosystem where AI companies must compensate data builders via OPEN tokens, aligning incentives. For developers, this could mean new grants or revenue from sharing data/models.

•Payable AI: Every data/model contribution is on-chain; contributors get paid when their input drives AI outputs.

•Testnet scale: Millions of nodes, tens of millions of tx, tens of thousands of AI models built.

•Funding & timeline: ~$15M raised (2024–25), OPEN token & mainnet launching Sept 2025.

•Ecosystem: Backed by big names; launching a $25M fund (OpenCircle) to foster Web3×AI builders. Partners like https://t.co/dt8INVUENk (TVL $6.5B) will secure models.

•Outlook: By 2026, expect OpenLedger to host shared AI assets – think curated ML datasets and open foundation models – with full on-chain attribution. Early DeFi AI apps (prediction markets, AI-as-a-service) may use OPEN to reward data providers as a matter of course.

$BOB - @build_on_bob - Bitcoin Meets DeFi

BOB (“Build on Bitcoin”) is a Bitcoin-native L2 bringing BTC’s security into decentralized finance. Instead of wrapping BTC on Ethereum, BOB plans to host unwrapped BTC on its chain via BitVM – a trustless bridge using zero-knowledge proofs. Its testnet recently rolled out a new BitVM design that lets BTC stay “still BTC”, secured by Bitcoin but usable onchain. This approach avoids custodians entirely: think BTC in DeFi without any third-party trust.

Institutional players are flocking to BOB. RockawayX’s research group just highlighted BOB’s testnet where native BTC flows are routed through ETH’s blob space for data availability[23]. Partners include https://t.co/CxuOR31PeD, Amber Group, Solv, Ledger, and others. The team has raised $21M (including a new $9.5M round in Aug 2025 led by Castle Island, RockawayX, etc.). The capital will fund the “gateway to Bitcoin DeFi”: mainnet with BitVM and BTC staking is expected in Q4 2025.

By next year, BOB aims to be live as a Bitcoin L2. That means Ethereum DeFi apps could accept native BTC collateral, and Bitcoin holders could deploy directly into DeFi yield. All BOB transactions inherit Bitcoin’s finality (via its Babylon consensus). On BOB you might borrow USDC with BTC collateral or swap BTC↔ETH without any wrap token – just “Bitcoin in, Bitcoin out.” In short, BTC’s liquidity could become a unified layer across chains. For devs, this opens new possibilities: write DApps that accept BTC natively, or build cross-chain protocols leveraging BTC security.

•Bitcoin-security: BOB secures its chain by requiring BTC-staking and BitVM fraud-proofs, so every BOB tx “inherits” Bitcoin’s security guarantees.

•BitVM Bridge: Native BTC on BOB testnet (no wrap) – the bridge uses fraud-proof relayers and ETH data blobs. Users literally get “BTC” onchain.

•Industry support: Backers/partners include RockawayX, https://t.co/CxuOR31PeD, Amber Group, Ankr, etc. All see “trillions in dormant BTC liquidity” ready to be unlocked via BOB.

•Roadmap: Raised $21M total, launching BitVM bridge mainnet in Q4 2025. By 2026 BOB plans seamless cross-chain BTC (Eth, L2s, etc.) and a growing DeFi ecosystem (expect native BTC yield vaults, AMMs, etc.).

$LAB – @LABtrade_ - AI Bots for the Meme Era

https://t.co/kUBoz83Qoe is a newcomer in the Telegram trading bot space, targeting the memecoin craze. In 2025, Telegram bots have become massive: ~52,000 daily users and ~$61.7M traded per day on average. Leading bots like Trojan (Solana) have over $23.4B lifetime volume[31]. LAB is betting it can outpace competitors by being faster, cheaper, and multi-chain.
LAB’s flagship product is its Terminal bot. It lets you trade on Solana and TON (The Open Network) at just 0.5% fee (versus ~1% on rivals). It offers “Boost Mode” for near-instant execution, smart limit orders, multi-wallet management, and even overlays on charting sites. Notably, it has a generous reward scheme: 35%+ of all fees are rebated to high-volume traders and referrers. By funneling volume (and thus airdrop points) to its platform, LAB creates a passive-income incentive structure for whales.

By 2026, https://t.co/kUBoz83Qoe plans to expand beyond Solana into EVMs and Ton blockchain, aiming to be a one-stop bot for meme coins everywhere. We expect it will keep chasing on-chain innovation: ultra-low-latency snipers for token launches, cross-chain bridging bots, maybe even AI-driven signals. If it pulls it off, LAB could be the “smart money’s weapon” in memecoin trading – an intriguing prospect for savvy traders who code bots or trade big.

•Exploding market: Telegram bots handle ~$61.7M/day. Trojan (Solana) alone did ~$23.4B total volume.
•LAB Terminal: Trades Solana & TON tokens at just 0.5% fee, offers instant “Boost Mode” and advanced Smart Orders.
•Reward system: Rewards big traders and referrals with 35% fee rebate (versus ~10–30% for others). Earn points for volume = token airdrops.
•Vision: One-click cross-chain meme trading hub. In 2026, look for LAB to add more chains and AI features, continuing the trend of automated low-fee bots that dominate pump-and-dump cycles.

$VELORA – @VeloraDEX - Intent-Based Cross-Chain DeFi

Velora (formerly ParaSwap) is reinventing DEX trading with an intent-driven, cross-chain aggregator. In April 2025 ParaSwap rebranded to Velora and unveiled its intents architecture. Instead of manually swapping tokens, you state an intent (e.g. “swap 1 ETH for max USDC”) and Velora’s system figures out the best execution path across chains and order books. This abstraction unlocks advanced features: “Super Hooks” let users bundle multi-step trades (like repay a loan on Aave on Chain A and borrow on Maker on Chain B) into one atomic transaction. You can also set cross-chain limit orders and other conditional trades that traditional DEXs can’t do.

Importantly, Velora is built for MEV resistance. According to their docs, intents are routed through private mempools or specialized relayers, shielding users from front-running. For traders, this means more predictable execution and “best-price” routing across all liquidity pools. Backed by its track record ($100B+ in swap volume as ParaSwap) and new VC funding, Velora aims to be a unified gateway for DeFi.

Over the next year Velora plans to roll out fully cross-chain swaps. Expect testnet and mainnet launches of its multi-chain protocol, along with more partners (DEXs, lending markets). For Web3 builders, Velora offers a powerful tool: they can offload complex trade routing (even across chains) to Velora’s intent engine, while improving security via built-in MEV protection. In other words, by 2026, Velora could make “one-click multi-step, multi-chain trades” commonplace – effectively the plumbing for next-gen DeFi UX.

•From ParaSwap to Velora: Rebranded April 2025 as an “intents-based” cross-chain router. Legacy volume >$100B.
•Intent architecture: Users specify goals, and Velora’s agents execute swaps/bridges to fulfill them optimizing across chains and DEXs.
•Super Hooks & Advanced Orders: Composite actions (e.g. repay-on-ChainA + open-loan-on-ChainB) and cross-chain limit/stop orders are now possible[35][36].
•MEV protection: Trades go through private relayers or mempools, making frontrunning “a thing of the past”.
•Future: By 2026 Velora aims to be the go-to router for sophisticated traders and devs, integrating deeply with dApps that want easy, secure, cross-chain execution.

#Almanak – @almanak - AI-Driven DeFi Strategy Agents

Almanak is creating a swarm of AI agents to automate DeFi strategy creation and deployment. In its design, 18 specialized agents work together: there are “strategy” agents that design trading algorithms, “alpha-seeking” agents that hunt for new signals, “optimization” agents that backtest/refine, and even auditor bots. These operate under human supervision. The result is that any user could have a personalized AI quant.

Once an AI strategy is crafted, Almanak lets you deploy it as a non-custodial vault (ERC-7540 standard). Think of these vaults as tradable funds: other users can invest in them, and the creator can charge performance or management fees. Importantly, all AI actions are logged and transparent – every trade, rebalancing, or decision is recorded on-chain so humans can audit the AI’s work.

The project just closed an $8.45M round led by Delphi Labs and HashKey. By next year, Almanak plans a token launch via the Legion platform, with incentives for builders and users. The native token (ALMNK) will tie into a points-and-token economy: you earn points (exchangeable for tokens) by locking capital in vaults, deploying strategies, or referring others. Token holders also govern upgrades.

In 2026, Almanak aims to have many live AI vaults on-chain. For developers, this means you could publish a trading algorithm and have it run 24/7, drawing in capital from yield-seeking investors. For end users, it’s a way to “outsource” crypto trading to AI while still retaining custody. The hybrid model ensures safety: if an AI goes rogue, humans can step in. The vision is a meritocratic marketplace – the best-performing strategies (no matter who built them) earn fees, and contributors (as measured by points) reap the rewards. By next year Almanak will be pushing this frontier: a decentralized platform where Web3 users coexist with a transparent, AI-managed investment engine.

•AI Swarm: 18 distinct agents collaborate to create and refine DeFi strategies. This covers ideation, backtesting, optimization, even QA.
•Vault deployment: Strategies run as ERC-7540 vaults (cross-chain and tradable), with performance fees and whitelisting options.
•Token & points: Earn points (for investing, strategy-design, referrals) that translate to a native token. The token governs the protocol and rewards top contributors.
•Human oversight: All AI trades are on-chain and reviewable. Owners retain control via private wallets, and can intervene if needed.
•Funding: $8.45M seed from Delphi Labs, HashKey, NEAR Foundation, and others. Almanak is publicly raising via Legion now.
•2026 outlook: A running protocol of AI-driven vaults. Devs can launch an “AI quant” instantly; investors can pick from AI traders. The system aims to democratize algorithmic trading (like “Investment management 2.0”).

[Arjantit @drarjantit]

Trailblazing Web3 - 8 Projects at the Intersection of AI, Data & Finance

Let’s go through it step by step together. Ask any questions you’re curious about, I’m happy to answer them. ⤵️

$SAPIEN - @JoinSapien

JoinSapien (also known simply as Sapien) is a decentralized data-labeling platform where everyday users help train AI by labeling data. Participants perform small tasks (e.g. tagging images or giving opinions) and earn the native $SAPIEN token as a reward.

Key Features Include

Decentralized AI data labeling

Users label data for AI (images, text, etc.), with each task and result hashed on the blockchain for verifiable training data.

Tokenized rewards

Contributors earn $SAPIEN tokens for their work. The token is managed by the Sapien Foundation (a nonprofit) to keep distribution open and fair.

Proof-of-Stake economics

Weekend Review - 8 Legendary AI-Crypto Projects 👁️

Happy Sunday Everyone 🌞

This weekend we take a deep dive into eight standout crypto/AI projects tracked on Cookie – covering their latest news, community mindshare, and sentiment.

#CookieFun is a decentralized analytics platform that measures each project’s mindshare (the share of conversation on X) and sentiment (the tone of that chatter) in real time. ⤵️

$SAPIEN - @JoinSapien

Sapien is a Web3 platform that turns human knowledge into AI training data. In early August 2025 Sapien announced its tokenomics ahead of the Token Generation Event (TGE). The team revealed a 1 billion $SAPIEN supply, with a “fair launch” model: 25% of tokens unlock at TGE, the rest vest over time.

Specifically, 47% of tokens are allocated to protocol development (contributors, builders, advisors), and 53% to ecosystem incentives (rewards, airdrops, liquidity, treasury).

Sapien’s foundation (led by notable backers like Variant and Primitive Ventures) aims to align long-term governance with contributor rewards. The community has been buzzing.

According to team updates, Sapien’s TGE progress bar has reached ~90%, implying the launch is imminent once it hits 100%. This momentum is reflected in Cookie fun metrics (Sapien’s mindshare is on the rise and sentiment scores are very positive).

Sapien’s platform already boasts 1.8 million contributors across 110+ countries and over 180 million completed AI training tasks for clients like Amazon, Toyota, Baidu, and the UN. In sum, Sapien is poised for launch with strong backing and clear tokenomics

$RECALL - @recallnet

Recall is building a decentralized knowledge layer for AI agents – a way for AI systems to store, share, and verify information on-chain. Recall is developed by the 3Box Labs team (known for Textile and Ceramic).

Its vision is to let AI agents prove and monetize data they collect, ensuring auditable reasoning in a trustless way. The project has attracted top-tier investment: Recall raised a $30 million Series A in early 2022 led by firms like Multicoin Capital, Coinbase Ventures, Animoca Brands, and others.

It later raised about $8 million in April 2023. This deep-pocketed backing underlines confidence in Recall’s mission.

Community interest is strong according to Cookie fun data, Recall’s mindshare is approaching ~0.45%, with eighty two of thousands of positive sentiment points, making it one of the hottest AI-crypto topics right now.

Recall has also launched a Snaps incentive program (0.5% of supply to top contributors) to rally the community. In short, Recall is emerging as a leading “AI agent” project – well-funded, technically grounded, and gaining traction in community chatter.

$OPEN - @OpenledgerHQ

OpenLedger bills itself as “the AI Blockchain”, focusing on decentralized data infrastructure for AI models. It aims to “enable verifiable compute and trustless data pipelines” to power machine-learning applications.

In practice, OpenLedger plans to be an encrypted L1 for AI data and models, unlocking DeFi for data and enabling collaboration between AI agents. Community metrics confirm OpenLedger’s momentum. An AI-coin mindshare ranking (Cookie Data) on Aug 10, 2025 put OpenLedger third among AI projects with ~0.63% mindshare.

More recently, their Snap campaigns have drawn many participants – for example, an “OctoSnaps” era distributed over $350K in rewards, pushing OpenLedger into the top 10 on the Snaps leaderboard with ~1.9–2.0% mindshare and roughly 90K sentiment points. The project’s lively Snap community hints at a dedicated following. In summary, OpenLedger is gaining solid attention: it combines cutting-edge AI/blockchain tech with active community engagement. Its backing (by investors like Polychain and HashKey) and leaderboard performance suggest it’s one to watch

$TEN - @tenprotocol

TEN Protocol is an encrypted Layer-2 for Ethereum (built by the R3 Corda team) designed to deliver “smart transparency” and private AI computations.

TEN is currently raising funds via the merit-based Legion (Nozomi) platform. The latest announcements from Cookie.DAO reveal that TEN’s presale has been 300% oversubscribed, and only the top 150 Cookie Snappers are guaranteed an allocation.

The critical snapshot was set for Aug 8, 2025, meaning those top 150 Snappers (who consistently write about $TEN) will get priority access.

The investment process for eligible Snappers is straightforward: users sign up on Legion, connect their X account (used for Snaps), switch to the Nozomi platform, and navigate to the Sales section to find TEN. They can then pledge funds (up to $5,000 from their guaranteed allocation) and submit for review.

Cookie Fun emphasized this “Snap-to-invest” process in its August 2025 guides. In short, TEN’s presale is now live for those 150 Snappers, with pledges due by the deadline. Early trading analysts note that exclusive allocations like this can spur initial price action once a token hits the public market.

For TEN, community interest (as seen on https://t.co/j1UulXRFTm) is high, and most of the initial supply goes to Snappers and supporters. Once TEN is launched on Legion/Nozomi, monitoring on-chain activity and trading volume will be key – but for now, the focus is on this Snapper presale.

$VOOI - @vooi_io

Vooi is a newer project described as “pioneering an on-chain memory protocol for autonomous agents”.

In practical terms, Vooi’s platform seeks to give AI agents a secure place to store and access their data, effectively marrying on-chain trading and AI. It emphasizes gasless cross-chain trading and AI-driven strategies (Vooi V2), targeting applications like automated crypto trading.

Vooi was just added as a featured project on Cookie fun, reflecting rising community interest. Its exact token details are still in a pre-TGE phase, but early indicators show increasing mindshare. Cookie’s analytics show Vooi’s discussion share has been climbing (a 0.5% week-on-week rise in mindshare was reported), suggesting growing awareness. As an emerging AI-trading platform, Vooi is one to watch for its novel approach to “agent memory” on blockchain.

$BOB - @build_on_bob

BOB (Build on Bitcoin) is a layer-2 network aiming to bridge Bitcoin and Ethereum. It uses the OP Stack for smart contracts while anchoring finality to Bitcoin’s security. In early August 2025, Cointelegraph reported that BOB has raised $21 million to date (including a $9.5M round) to develop its “Gateway to Bitcoin DeFi”.

Investors include Castle Island Capital and Anchorage Digital, reflecting institutional interest in native Bitcoin DeFi. Notably, BOB’s CTO has said the next milestone is launching its BitVM bridge to let users spend native BTC in DeFi without wrapping.

Technically, BOB’s testnet is already live (with partners like Amber Group supporting) and its mainnet launch is planned for Q4 2025.

In community terms, BOB’s combination of Bitcoin security and EVM compatibility makes it stand out. Cookie fun shows solid sentiment around BOB as Bitcoin DeFi heats up, and its Snap scores put it in active developer circles. For traders, BOB represents a hybrid play on both Bitcoin and Ethereum ecosystems.

$ELP - @elympics_ai

Elympics is a Web3 gaming infrastructure project focused on fair, rewarding gameplay. Its core idea is to “bridge the disconnect” between Web3 game developers and players by introducing new incentives. The team highlights four paradigm shifts: making gameplay inherently rewarding, sharing financial returns fairly, rewarding all stakeholders, and charging minimal commissions for continual engagement.

In short, Elympics puts user satisfaction and developer feedback at the center. On https://t.co/j1UulXRFTm, Elympics has generated modest buzz. A mid-2025 update showed its mindshare around ~0.16% with positive sentiment reflecting excitement for its platform. Elympics recently launched a Snaps campaign as well. According to its own blog, the project is gearing up to revolutionize competitive gaming and has even open-sourced SDKs and tools for developers.

NFT/game market warming up, Elympics is leveraging on-chain tools to offer esports-level competition.

#Almanak - @almanak

Almanak democratizes quantitative trading via AI agents. It provides a platform where users can build or use algorithmic trading strategies (agents) to generate returns.

In essence, it brings hedge-fund-grade quant tools to retail traders. The token mechanics are designed so that emissions reward the strategy creators themselves, aligning incentives for everyone involved.

https://t.co/j1UulXRFTm data shows Almanak being adopted by early traders. In fact, Cookie News highlights that Almanak’s “cSnappers” leaderboard now tracks real capital ROI – many top Almanak supporters have personally staked at least $500 in Almanak vaults to demonstrate commitment...

Its mindshare and sentiment have climbed as more traders test their agents on testnets, and the team is rolling out new tournaments and leaderboards (supported by Cookie DAO) to grow engagement.

@ElliotsCrypto @binance Exactly what we all need thanks @cz_binance

[Elliot's 🔶 Crypto @ElliotsCrypto]

⚡️JUST IN: @Binance rolled out direct Mastercard withdrawals in Europe.

Finally crypto off-ramping that doesn't take forever😂

Pretty solid move partnering with Mastercard on this. Makes it way easier to actually use your crypto when you need real money quickly 💸

If you're in Europe might be worth checking out the new withdraw to card options, seems like a decent improvement over the usual withdraw process.

@drarjantit This could be the future of presales

[Arjantit @drarjantit]

$CHIPS presale is currently open on CoinTerminal.
I’ve already participated because the model offers a balance between potential returns and safety.

Here’s how it works:

•Contribute $250 or more to be entered into the presale lottery.
•If the token underperforms after launch, your full contribution is refunded.
•You still keep any lottery winnings, even if you get a refund.

In the last round, one participant received a full refund and won $10,000 from the lottery.

This round’s lottery prize is $5,000.

You can join the $CHIPS presale here 👉 https://t.co/uFwrHRD7ig

Always DYOR.
