“Cosmos is dead”

Meanwhile, some @coinbase and @krakenfx clients have been silently buying LOTS OF $ATOM...

👉 Over 7M+ staked in just the last * wait for it * 2 months!

Real investors are loading up and LOCK their $ATOM. 🐳

[Sentinel @SentinelP2P]

They say the Cosmos ecosystem is 'dead' but its DEX, @osmosis, is earning more chain revenue than 92 of the top 100 chains?

The data doesn't lie, Osmosis does more revenue than most of the top chains and it still doesn't receive the credit or recognition.

Comeback inbound

[Vuori Trading @VuoriTrading]

$ATOM update!!!

They managed to break this 1 year long support at $4! BUT, it's temporary. The low should be in. Now we just have to wait #ATOM to build a bottom and start sending again!

My targets are still the same: min $20 and $70-$115 in bull case! 🎯 $200 in extreme fomo!

Not financial advice! #ATOM #CRYPTO

[Cosmos Airdrops 🪂 @Cosmos_Airdrops]

$ATONE back above $3 👀

Market down, $ATONE up.

Rumors say Jae is planning massive $ATOM → $ATONE trades starting Oct 20.

Curious to see how this all plays out...

Plasma $XPL: A Stablecoin-Focused L1 easy guide to @Plasma 's features, launch, and eco 👇

Offshore freedom + scalability = trillion-dollar stablecoin hub

1⃣What is Plasma?
Plasma is a high-throughput, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain designed for stablecoin transactions, such as USDT. It supports near-instant transfers with low or zero fees for basic sends, processing thousands txs per second with block times under 12s and fast BFT finality. Launched on September 25, 2025.

2⃣Chain Architecture: Sovereign L1, Not L2
Plasma is a sovereign Layer 1, not an L2. It runs on PlasmaBFT consensus (based on Fast HotStuff algorithm) paired with the Reth EVM engine. This makes it EVM-compatible so developers can easily port over Ethereum applications. It also features a trust-minimized Bitcoin bridge that allows BTC deposits via pBTC tokens backed 1:1.

3⃣The $XPL distribution / Airdrop 🪂emphasized equity for early participants

🔸Base contributors got ~$8,390 equal value of $XPL tokens for small deposits (min $0.1), but tiered for larger groups
🔸Even small depositors who completed Sonar verification got the base allocation
🔸This created FOMO when those ~9,304 tokens became worth ~$13,000 at peak
🔸U.S. buyers receive their sale allocation on Jul 28, 2026 (12-month delay)

$XPL Airdrop Requirements

🔸Participate in the Plasma Vault public sale via Sonar platform
🔸Complete Sonar (by Echo) verification
🔸For Binance Alpha: Hold minimum 200 Alpha Points to claim 180 $XPL tokens
🔸For Stablecoin Collective members: Various tiers from 7,500 to 30,000 $XPL
🔸Participate in Binance Earn's Plasma USDT locked product
🔸Snapshots taken Sep 24-25; auto-distributed. Total supply 10B, circulating 1.8B at launch.

4⃣Why >$4B USDT Flowing In: The Zero-Fee Advantage

The massive USDT inflow comes from Plasma's unique value proposition. Rapid growth post-launch, with $2B in first 24 hours:

🔸Zero-fee USDT transfers through a built-in paymaster system
🔸Deep USDT liquidity (~$2B at launch, now >$4B) via partnerships with Aave, Ethena, Euler
🔸Institutional backing from Tether, Bitfinex, Framework Ventures
🔸Users can earn yield while holding USDT through DeFi integrations
🔸It's designed for global access, but subject to local laws – perfect for global stablecoin dominance

5⃣High APY (~23.85%): Token Incentives Driving Yields

The lending vault APY subsidized by:

🔸XPL token rewards for liquidity providers
🔸Ecosystem growth allocation (40% of total supply) gradually released over 3 years
🔸DeFi protocol partnerships offering additional rewards
🔸Borrowing demand from the deep liquidity creating favorable lending spreads
🔸APY comes from Plasma’s XPL incentives + base lending yield (Aave) via Veda-managed vaults.

It's audited & low-risk, but expect dilution as TVL grows.

6⃣Ultimate Vision: Global Payments Infrastructure

Plasma's vision is to become "Money 2.0" - the default rails for global stablecoin payments.

Offshore freedom + scalability = trillion-dollar stablecoin hub

Key goals:

🔸Replace fragmented stablecoin infrastructure with unified, purpose-built rails. Includes tokenized assets and privacy features (e.g., confidential memos).
🔸Target unbanked markets with Plasma One neobank offering 4% cashback cards
🔸Aims to complement or compete with Tron's dominance in USDT transfers (Tron handles 60% of stablecoin volume)
🔸Enable institutional adoption with compliance features and enterprise privacy

7⃣Effective $XPL Farming Strategies

Primary strategies:
https://t.co/6eSxezifVf
🔸Deposit into Plasma’s Savings Vault (Veda) - vault shares that route base yield to Aave and add XPL incentives. Live APR has been ~22–23% on the rewards board (variable, incentive-driven).
🔸Supply/borrow on Aave (Plasma) - base supply APY moves with market demand (e.g., USDT0 supply APY ~19% on the Aave UI at time of writing) plus separate XPL incentives shown on the rewards portal (e.g., ~7% APR for net lending). Quote the live dashboards rather than fixed ranges.
🔸Provide liquidity on incentivized pools (e.g., Uniswap/Balancer/Curve pairs like WXPL-USDT0) - yields are mostly Merkl-distributed XPL incentives; mind IL and volume. Check the rewards page for active pools.
🔸Other venues (as they go live): Fluid, Euler, Gearbox, Term, etc., many with rotating incentives.
🔸Staking (heads-up) - public delegation isn’t live yet. Validator rewards start when external validators go live (inflation begins at 5% and decays to 3%). Plasma uses reward slashing (not stake slashing).

Ecosystem plays:

🔸Ethena integration for USDE yields
🔸Pendle for yield tokenization
🔸Use OKX Earn to stake USDT or BTC (55-73%, with caps)
Strategies involve risks like impermanent loss; DYOR.

Full list: https://t.co/yNvnIn8Ljs

8⃣Plasma Technical Stack - Core infrastructure:

🔸PlasmaBFT consensus (Fast HotStuff variant)
🔸Reth EVM engine for Ethereum compatibility
🔸Built-in paymaster for custom gas tokens
🔸LayerZero integration for cross-chain interoperability
🔸Bitcoin bridge with MPC signing and institutional verifiers

9⃣Simple $USDT Funding Guide

1. Jumper Exchange - Multi-chain aggregator supporting Plasma https://t.co/3nrbF4ffBF
Bridge $500+ from any chain for 10 XP rewards
Supports 25+ blockchains with optimal routing

2. Stargate Finance (Great for Stablecoin Swaps) - https://t.co/PrsQk4ivqo
Select source (e.g., USDC on Base) to USDT on Plasma.
Confirm tx - quick and low-fee for cross-chain stables.

3. Direct CEX deposits - Binance now supports $USDT deposits/withdrawals on Plasma Network

4. LayerZero-powered bridges for cross-chain USDT

5. Native Ethereum bridge for existing USDT holdings

Wallet setup: Add Plasma RPC (https://t.co/Bsc8605hhO, Chain ID 1618) to MetaMask. Test small amounts due to bridge risks.

🔟Tron Killer Narrative?

While Plasma launched strong, Tron still holds $76B USDT vs Plasma's ~$4B. The "Tether chain" speculation is real, but network effects and merchant adoption take years to build

Plasma isn't just competing on fees - it's betting that purpose-built stablecoin infrastructure with institutional backing and DeFi composability will eventually win over Tron's early-mover advantage in emerging markets

The launch has been impressive with record-breaking TVL and institutional support, but the real test comes when token incentives taper off and organic usage must sustain growth.

❕USDT vs USDT0: The Key Difference

USDT is the native token issued directly by Tether on supported blockchains like Ethereum, Tron, and Solana. 🔸USDT0 is a bridged version that extends USDT to blockchains where Tether doesn’t natively issue it.

Key differences:

🔸USDT0 uses a “lock-and-mint” mechanism - when you bridge USDT to a new chain, the original USDT gets locked on Ethereum while equivalent USDT0 is minted on the destination chain
🔸USDT0 is managed by Everdawn Labs, not directly by Tether
🔸USDT0 cannot be directly traded - it serves as a transport mechanism and must be converted back to native USDT. USDT0 is not directly redeemable by Tether; conversions required.
🔸Built on LayerZero’s OFT standard for seamless cross-chain transfers

❕Will Plasma Get Native USDT?
🔸Yes, but timing is unclear. Currently Plasma launches with USDT0 support from day one, but the roadmap indicates native USDT integration is planned.
🔸Tether is expanding through both Plasma (specialized L1) and Legacy Mesh (multi-chain hub) to maintain USDT dominance across emerging blockchains.

1⃣1⃣Tokenomics quick look

Total supply: 10B XPL. Allocation: 40% ecosystem growth (released over 3 years), validator rewards (5% annual inflation, decreasing to 3%), team/investors (locked). Risks: Dilution from unlocks (next in ~28 days).

1⃣2⃣Ecosystem
Dozens of leading protocols deployed. Upcoming: Pendle integration, full mainnet, NFT collections like Pretrillions (AI-generated, 3,333 supply, mint soon).

This one’s more for new users or the forgetful ones - registering your Base name.

Here’s how:

- Visit: https://t.co/qBIMK0xZZr
- Enter your desired name
- Register the domain

It’s a very basic step, so if you’re already active on Base you probably have it done - but worth checking!

[Sei @SeiNetwork]

$15M tokenized on day one.

Sei is now the #2 EVM chain for Apollo ACRED by @securitize, behind only Ethereum.

What the EVM is to institutions for security and reliability — Sei is for global-scale settlement.

RWAs Move Faster on Sei. ($/acc)
