I didn’t post much about @virtuals_io lately because tbh it felt like things were standing still.
Latest Genesis upgrade shows that the team is still rethinking the bigger picture.
Making tiered launches was a long due upgrade imo.
Much needed change for bigger teams with backing to consider entering the ecosystem.
Curious to see how it plays out once bigger teams start using it.
Funding Rate Casino is Open Powered by Pendle, Built on Arbitrum.
Ever imagined trading funding rates the way you trade tokens?
Meet Boros: latest product by Pendle finance, now live on Arbitrum.
What is Boros in Simple Terms?
Boros is a new DeFi platform that lets you trade or hedge crypto funding rates, starting with BTC and ETH.
Think of it like this:
Just like you can trade the price of BTC or ETH, Boros now lets you trade the cost of holding long/short positions on major exchanges (like Binance). This cost is called the funding rate.
What is a Funding Rate?
Funding rates are payments between traders. On platforms like Binance:
If many people are going long, they pay a fee (funding rate) to those going short. If you are a trader, this fee affects your profits or losses.
So:
If you expect funding rates to go up, you can bet on it and profit.
If you are losing money from funding rates, Boros lets you hedge (protect yourself).
How Does Boros Work?
→ Boros uses a new token like unit called Yield Units (YUs).
→ 1 YU-ETH = Yield (funding rate income or cost) from 1 ETH position until maturity (expiry).
→ If you think ETH funding rates will go up, buy (long) YU-ETH.
→ If you think they'll go down, sell (short) YU-ETH.
This is very similar to how Pendle users already trade yield using YTs (Yield Tokens), but Boros applies it to funding rates instead of staking/APR yield.
What Can You Do on Boros?
Trade funding rates of BTC and ETH from Binance.
Soon: More tokens like SOL, BNB; more platforms like Bybit, Hyperliquid.
Earn from Boros Vaults (like LP positions):
1. Get swap fees.
2. Earn $PENDLE incentives.
3. Benefit from favorable changes in funding APR.
You can build hedging strategies if you are a trader already exposed to funding fees.
Built on Arbitrum:
Boros runs on Arbitrum, which gives:
1. Low fees.
2. High speed.
3. Deep integration with other Arbitrum DeFi platforms.
This makes it efficient for real-time funding rate trading, something that would've been too expensive on Ethereum L1.
The Bigger Picture:
Boros is just starting. The plan is:
→ To gradually raise trading limits and leverage as it matures.
→ Expand from funding rates to all kinds of yield markets, like:
1. Real-world assets (bonds, equities).
2. On-chain protocols.
→Become the main place to trade yield expectations, just like Pendle became a place to trade fixed/variable DeFi yield.
TL;DR for you:
Boros by @pendle_fi just went live on Arbitrum, You can now trade funding rates of BTC & ETH like price action long if it is going up, short if it is crashing.
One more DeFi primitive unlocked.
Real-time yield speculation just became composable.
Hey guys!
I joined the community, but never posted directly here, so for the first post here I wanted to do something a bit different.
I had fun doing graphics for my previous posts on project so an idea came to make myself a Mira themed phone background.
And after that, more ideas followed ofc.. 😅
Ill share here few of my favorite attempts, If you like them feel free to play with them.
I'd love to see someone else customize the screen around them ( I'm still figuring how to make icons black and white lol ).
First one is pure graphic, second one is rendering of quick 3D model and playing with lighting and HDRI's a bit. 1920x 1080 pixels, should be good for most of the phones.
Ritual: The Chain Where AI Meets Decentralization;
Say Goodbye to Big Tech Gatekeepers
Want to run powerful AI without trusting OpenAI or Google?
@ritualnet is building the first blockchain that makes AI verifiable, private, and accessible to everyone.
From DeFi bots to smart NPCs, this could be the AI Layer 1 that powers the next wave of Web3 apps.
What is Ritual?
The Smartest Blockchain Ever Built Designed for the Next Billion Users. Imagine a blockchain that does not just move money or run simple code imagine one that can run AI, handle ZK proof talk to other blockchains, and even schedule tasks on its own. That is Ritual.
In Simple Words:
Ritual is a new kind of blockchain that makes smart contracts truly smart by letting them use AI and powerful computations in a secure, decentralized and verifiable way.
While older blockchains focus on speed or cheaper fees, Ritual focuses on unlocking new possibilities:
🟢Apps that think
🟢Contracts that self update
🟢AI models that live and grow on chain
🟢A system where developers and users are not dependent on Big Tech
What does the future look like for AI fact checking?
After exploring AI hallucinations and how @miranetwork is working to prevent them, I wondered: What happens next?
Can this actually scale up and become the norm for AI systems?
Nn case you didn't know @SwyrlFi protocol is live on @monad_xyz testnet.
Swyrl is designed as a central liquidity and governance hub on Monad, leveraging its ve(3,3) model and innovative liquid staking mechanics to align incentives across the Monad ecosystem.
Lets dive in Swyrl and break it down:
A Deep Dive into Uniswap V4 Incentivized Farming Pools on Unichain

Looking at Kaito leaderboard for last 24hrs and it is cool to see Mitosis is still in top 20.
With July what it seems will be the month for Mito we will see increase in yapping and with few bullish announcements for sure CT will be on fire.
We had fun with testnet. I do hold one NFT so quite bullish.
Confirmed for @MitosisOrg airdrop are:
- Mitosis Expedition liquidity providers
- Mitosis GM testnet participants
- Mitoosis Morse holders
- Mitosis yappers
Do not forget to yap and prepare for fun July with Mitosis.
Powering the Future of Onchain Automation
@codecopenflow is an under the radar gem building the first go to platform for creating and running Operators autonomous, programmable agents for on chain automation.
With a motivated team, strong liquidity backing, and a clear long term vision, it's laying the groundwork for a robotic Web3 future. At just a ~$2M market cap (when first flagged), early believers have already seen a 3x and this is just the start!
As automation becomes essential in crypto, Codec is quietly positioning itself as the backbone.
BTW some alpha between the lines read comment ;)

To be honest, I’m really glad we’ll finally get a clearer picture of what the team has in mind for the future.
But looking back, I have to add a few thoughts.
As someone who tried using the product and largely ignored social activities, yapping, etc.. I genuinely hope that the @newton_xyz team focuses on showcasing more of the agents' capabilities before thinking about TGE.
Recurring buy agent is cool and worked well for me, but it's functions were very basic.
Litepaper promised much more capabilities, to quote : 'a system where users can safely delegate complex tasks to verifiable agents'.
I would love to see that complex tasks in practice.
As we see too many projects getting swept up in social hype and rushing TGE before the real value is proven I genuinely hope this team takes the time to lead with product, not just momentum.
Maybe I’m jumping the gun a bit with this review, since the team hasn’t fully announced what they’re planning yet, but I genuinely mean this as honest feedback from someone who wants to be a future user.
✌️
Just came across on @monad_xyz newsletter and here are 4 frequently asked questions and answers directly from Monad team.
Is Monad truly 100% EVM-compatible without code changes?
Yes! The Monad blockchain is 100% EVM compatible at the bytecode level — meaning contracts from ETH mainnet, or other fully EVM compatible networks will work out-of-the-box without requiring any code changes.
Simply deploy your EVM smart contracts on the Monad blockchain to experience game-changing cost reduction and performance.
I just checked the Agent Ideas section on the @newton_xyz Discord, and it finally works- I can actually read the full posts now instead of just seeing the titles like a few weeks ago. Even back then, I saw some solid ideas, but now I can really dig into them properly.
Like I said before, I don’t think it’s a good idea for them to rush a launch. They should take the time to show us what they’re really capable of building first. Personally, I’m going to focus more on the features they can ship quickly.
Right now, the agent just does recurring buys. One of the first things they should add is recurring sells- just like buys, and based on time (every hour, day, week, etc.). For that to really be useful, they also need to add support for more coins. I don’t really get what’s stopping them there- it seems like it should be easy enough if you provide the right contract address. Being limited to just a few coins kind of defeats the point of flexible DCA.
Another thing I mentioned before is a repeat transaction option. Sometimes a buy fails, and it would be great if the agent could automatically retry it without needing me to be online. That should definitely be an option.
Also, the agent should be able to do more than just market buys. It needs to support limit orders, where you set a specific price for a trade. That’s basic functionality you already see in a lot of Telegram bots, so it should definitely be doable here too.
They also really need to add all EVM chains as soon as possible.
These are just a few things I think need to be added soon if they want their agents to really compete with others. Right now, it feels like there’s way more potential here than what’s currently live.
On @monad_xyz related handle that you should follow also is @thestudio_xyz .
They will curate vibecheck! Which is a curated event for high-signal founders to give each other product feedback, explore ideas, share growth strategies, and get a vibecheck from NYC's brightest builders on what's really valuable to users.
Vibecheck is open to founders building for crypto-native or mainstream audiences. However, spots will be limited!
My advice is to follow handle and reach out if you are interested in this great incentive, maybe you even meet @keoneHD , @_jhunsaker or @0x_eunice or even better all three.
Gmonad never dies.
Would love to see an AI assistant integrated into @PirateNation something that could help with resource farming and maybe even handle some PvP.
It’d be a game changer for those of us trying to stay active but save time.
If you’re thinking about building your own AI agent to automate tasks or boost efficiency, definitely check out @Codecopenflow. Solid infrastructure partner for getting it done right.
@fern check this out
I think the next big thing to launch is @megaeth , and I’m mostly bullish on @GTE_XYZ . Enzo’s been dropping a lot of signal lately- if you’ve been reading his tweets, you know he’s building something different.
Hyperliquid has done a great job pulling in both retail and maker flow, and the tech is solid. But speed bumps and prioritized cancels aren’t how you scale volume. They’re protective features that help weaker market makers, but they also slow everything down.
Real price discovery- on Binance, Nasdaq, CME- happens in environments where execution is fast, clean, and unforgiving. You can’t protect one side of the market without limiting the other.
HL’s architecture creates a gap between order submission and execution- so they need a speed bump to prevent makers from getting picked off. But if your system is fast enough, that gap doesn’t exist. And if there’s no delta, there’s no need to prioritize cancels.
That’s what GTE is betting on. Instead of trying to be everything to everyone, they’re focused on two groups: retail and high-frequency traders. Retail gets the UX they’re used to. HFTs get real infrastructure—colocation, FIFO matching, no speed bumps.
This is what real scale looks like. HL built a very thoughtful system, but it comes with limits. GTE’s taking the opposite approach: fast, composable, and built to compete at the highest level.
If they nail it, GTE won’t just be the best onchain exchange. It’ll be one of the best exchanges, period.
Trade fast. Win faster.
