Sonic $S and its Ecosystem are booming!

It's making a huge comeback since the rebranding.

• Sonic crossed $1B DEX Volume
• Sonic's TVL is over $550M
• Airdrop is coming 🪂 

If you faded, it's not too late.
Here is a recap ↓ 🧵 

I've been mentioning Sonic $S for a while now, both here and on my TG.

I also talked about Fantom a lot before, like many.

It seems like now is the rebirth of Sonic.

If you still don't know what it's all about, here's a recap along with some resources. ↓ 

What's Sonic?

@SonicLabs is the highest-performing EVM L1, combining speed, incentives, and world-class infrastructure.

You probably heard that a lot already. 
Well, this time it's true.

Sonic could actually be the fastest EVM L1.

The Sonic network is able to process over 800 million transactions daily with a sub-one-second finality. 

Sonic network’s transaction processing speed is 10,000 transactions per second (TPS). 

This is over 500 times the 20 TPS speed recorded on the Ethereum network. 

But we know tech is not what matters the most.

First and foremost, Sonic used to be Fantom, an ultra-popular L1 with a huge run during the previous cycle, and a very large community.

And as Solana had its redemption run, mainly fueled by memecoins,
Sonic could have its redemption run, fueled by DeFi.

Sonic is founded by Andre Cronje, a successful DeFi founder.

After some issues with SEC and a break from DeFi, Andre is back in the game fully locked-in, ready to change the space once again.

A comparison with other chains, by @coingecko 

Sonic is a Developer-Focused Network.

Designed to simplify the process of building and deploying applications on the network.

Sonic offers developers attractive incentives through Fee Monetization and the Innovator Fund, along with powerful infrastructure, designed for speed, agility, and interoperability.

Sonic Community is strong, there are many developers & more and more dApps.

Sonic's Growth lately has been tremendous.

The TVL of Sonic Mainnet has grown over 1,500% since the Fantom to Sonic Migration

And the price is finally catching up with the TVL growth, yet still undervalued.

https://x.com/DefiLlama/status/1892332173065113890

Sonic DEX Trading Volume surpassed $1B.

With @ShadowOnSonic having the biggest Market Share.

$SHADOW on Sonic launched only a month ago.

It just hit >660k in fees in 1 day.
The price grew by over 20x, but the MarketCap is still quite low, ~$30M.

Sonic $S is a top 50 asset, over $2B Mcap

It's not crazy to think that the first DEX on Sonic, a native DEX, can grow more.

You have many pools with great yield on @ShadowOnSonic 

> 150% APR on Stables

Of course there are other DeFi Protocols, feel free to explore Sonic's Ecosystem.

Protocols enjoy building on Sonic.

Here is a feedback of a protocol, Silo, building on Sonic and why it's better than other chains to build on

https://x.com/SiloIntern/status/1892373534372245512

And Sonic will distribute an Airdrop 🪂 

• 200M $S in incentives 
• 1 Year cumulative for all seasons 
• First season is 6 months 
• First season will be 40-60% of the airdrop 
• 25% of that airdrop will be liquid $S 
• 75% will be a vesting NFT that you can sell

There are 3 ways of earning points.

1. Passive Points

The whitelisted assets that you can hold or deploy

More about the Airdrop ↓

$S Utility

• Paying Transaction Fees: Used to pay gas fees on the Sonic network.
• Staking: Token holders can stake through the MySonic platform to earn rewards.
• Network Validation: Validators receive rewards from blocks and transactions.
• Governance: Gives voting rights to token holders to determine the direction of ecosystem development.

$S is also used for liquidity, collateral, and more in DeFi.

How to bridge to @SonicLabs ↓ 

You can also buy on CEX (Binance, Bybit, Kraken, Kucoin, MEXC etc.)

And withdraw to your EVM Address.

✦ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 

I accumulated FTM before the upgrade to $S.

The price didn't react as expected at first.

But Sonic definitely didn't get caught in the spiral of falling price → declining interest → dev leaving the chain → dApps & innovation moving elsewhere.

Sonic dev & community kept building and came back stronger.

Now close to price discovery. 🫡

Sonic $S Ecosystem Booming

Blockchain is fragmented.

Assets locked in one chain. Opportunities on another.

What’s holding us back from a truly unified Web3?

Let’s talk about the solution we've been waiting for. 👇🧵

Right now, we rely on bridges to move funds around and be able to use different blockchains.
But they’re riddled with issues:

• 🕒 Slow and clunky user experiences
• 💸 High fees with hidden costs
• ⚠️ Over $2.5B lost in bridge hacks

It’s time to move beyond outdated systems

Meet @SOCKETProtocol: The first chain abstraction protocol designed to unify app development across blockchains.

Think of it as the toolkit to build Web3 experiences that are fast, intuitive, and truly borderless.

❔ First, what exactly is Chain Abstraction ❔ 

Chain Abstraction, as it is implied in the name, is to use Crypto technology without worrying about the underlying chains.

You would just interact with apps directly.

The goal is to make blockchain technology easier to use without needing users to understand the technical details of each individual blockchain.

Most people don't want to worry about which blockchain they're using, whether it's supported by their wallet, if they need to bridge funds, or which token to use for gas.

→ They just want to use an app.

Think of it like the internet—you don’t need to know which server a website is hosted on, which tech is used to build the website, you just access it seamlessly. 

That’s the vision for blockchain.
That's one of the keys for mass adoption!

Let the numbers do the talking for SOCKET:

• Over $10B in transaction volume processed.
• 12M+ transactions executed.
• $200M+ TVL managed.

SOCKET isn’t just an idea—it’s a proven backbone for Web3.

What makes SOCKET so powerful?

It eliminates blockchain silos with features like:

• Composability across chains—apps talk to any network seamlessly.
• Off-chain logic—no manual user interactions.
• Simplified UX—no more gas fees or approvals.

This is infrastructure designed for the next billion users.

Some standout applications powered by SOCKET:

• NEAR Collaboration: Building the Chain Abstraction Framework.
• MAGIC Accounts: Unified global balances for multi-chain spending.
• Musubi: Enabling chainless swaps for better DeFi UX.
• Ethena: Expanding DeFi offerings effortlessly.

Game-changing innovation, one use case at a time.

https://x.com/SOCKETProtocol/status/1854556829176807878

This protocol powers some of the most popular apps and wallets you already use:

• Metamask
• Coinbase Wallet
• Platforms like Opensea and Polymarket

If you’ve interacted with one of these, along many others, SOCKET has already improved your experience.

Bungee Protocol is an example of where @SOCKETProtocol shines. 

Built on SOCKET, it’s a liquidity marketplace redefining multichain actions. Swap, deposit, or mint on any chain—fast, cheap, and seamless.

Bungee is the perfect showcase of SOCKET’s vision in action. 🚀

It's also gaining massive traction:

• 60k weekly users on @BungeeExchange 
• 100k+ followers on X
• 80k+ members on Discord

Powered by SOCKET, Bungee makes multichain effortless.

Behind SOCKET is a team of experienced crypto veterans—founders with expertise in zk rollups, Hubble, and giants like Amazon and Netflix. 

They’ve raised $12M from Framework Ventures and Coinbase Ventures to support this vision.

SOCKET's smaller-than-usual funding could signal a larger slice of the pie for their community.

Why is this important in 2025? 🤔

Chain abstraction is a rising narrative—but still underexplored.

As blockchain adoption grows, SOCKET is solving the biggest barriers to usability and scalability.

https://x.com/SOCKETProtocol/status/1877663387129405926

Imagine Web3 without limits:

• Apps that work on any chain, seamlessly.
• Users who never worry about wallets or gas.
• Developers with a unified toolkit to build for the masses.

That’s the world SOCKET is creating.

✦ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 

This thread was made in collaboration with @SOCKETProtocol to educate about Chain Abstraction.

I'm happy to see this evolution for Crypto this year, and I'll follow the development closely!

If you want to see how SOCKET is shaping the next chapter of blockchain:

• Follow @SOCKETProtocol for updates.
• Join the growing Discord community.
• Keep an eye out for upcoming testnets.

Web3 Mass Adoption Narrative 💠

Consumer & Entertainment Sectors could be the next big sectors to transition to Crypto.

A way to bring Web3 Mass Adoption  🧵👇

Consumer & Entertainment Sectors are vast.

It can be shopping, e-commerce, advertisements, payments, playing games, watching videos, streaming, ordering food, etc.

And yet Web3 doesn't have a chain with a Super-App for that.

Introducing @Tabichain, shaping and leading the future of consumer-based web3 and crypto.

Consumer and entertainment sectors are leveraging blockchain for gaming, streaming, digital collectibles, and social interactions.

These chains focus on decentralization, user ownership, and transparent interactions.

Tabi which at first was focused on Gaming, expanded its horizon to lead the consumer-based Web3 ecosystem.

Tabi's new goal is to become: The Consumer and Entertainment Chain to Unite all Poly-Apps.

Strategy revolves around integrating tokenization, social engagement, and consumer scenarios into one "Super-App" ecosystem akin to WeChat, enhanced by Web3.

Tabi has had major success in introducing the market to the abundant possibilities of Web3 gaming. 

With average active users rising to 2.5 million, demonstrating the opportunity for significant developments moving forward.

Its focus is now on making blockchain mainstream by offering experiences that feel intuitive and natural, even for users new to crypto.

At the core of Tabi’s innovation is Proof of Attention (PoA).

Instead of relying on transaction volumes or staking alone, PoA rewards users for their engagement. It creates a feedback loop where time spent in the ecosystem drives real value.

For example, users earn rewards for spending time on apps, games, or interacting with Tabi’s ecosystem.

Developers also benefit, as they’re incentivized to retain attention with engaging and functional apps—not exploitative models like pay-to-win schemes.

Traditional chains falter with misaligned ecosystems—communities, DApps, and the chain itself fail to sync, leading to weak token utility.

Enter a community-driven model with powerful token utility, positive ripple effects, and seamless incentives, forging a sustainable, unbreakable moat.

Let’s talk $TABI, the native token of Tabi’s ecosystem.

$TABI powers transactions, staking, and governance. 

The tokenomics include:

• Burning a portion of transaction fees.
• Mini Nodes, requiring just $30–$50 staked to participate.

It’s designed for long-term value.

$TABI’s tokenomics go beyond simple supply-demand mechanics.

• Fee burning ensures sustainability.
• Mini Nodes democratize staking and governance.
• Developer incentives ensure the ecosystem thrives by attracting long-term builders.

🌟 Tabi’s roadmap is packed with milestones :

• 2024: Foundation set with Testnet, TabiLink wallet, and DApps development.

• 2025: Mainnet v1 in Q1, Omni-Protocol & dev tools in Q2, scaling with Mainnet v2 and cross-chain innovations in Q3, and 100+ DApps by Q4.

• 2026: Universal Omni-Protocol and Polymorphic VM to redefine multi-chain execution.

Tabi’s roadmap reflects its ambitious vision for mass adoption.

The TabiLink feature allows users to log in using platforms like TikTok, Snapchat, or Telegram.

No crypto wallet setup? No problem—Tabi creates one in the background, eliminating onboarding friction.

Tabi is also launching a consumer chain to support its ecosystem.

This chain simplifies app development and enhances user experience with:

• Fiat onramps for easy payments.
• Poly-Apps, enabling DApp creation for platforms like Telegram.

The ecosystem is expanding into:

• Gaming: Incentivizing developers to create engaging blockchain-based games.
• E-commerce: Tokenizing real-world assets and transactions.
• Social apps: Rewarding meaningful user interactions via PoA.

The Proof of Attention model rewards users for genuine engagement.

For instance, browsing Tabi’s apps, participating in games, or using tools earns rewards. 

This model transforms user attention into a direct source of value for both users and developers.

The rebrand and expanded focus haven’t gone unnoticed.

Tabi has strong backing from Binance Labs, Animoca Brands, and HashKey Capital. 

With funding and a clear roadmap, they’re well-positioned to scale.

Their vision? To make blockchain blend seamlessly into everyday life, like second nature.

By eliminating hurdles like wallets and gas fees, Tabi is set to welcome millions into Web3, crafting a vibrant ecosystem of apps and games driven by PoA.

Tabi isn’t just building a blockchain ecosystem; it’s pioneering a new way of thinking about Web3 adoption.

From Proof of Attention to a powerful roadmap, everything is designed for mass appeal.

Tabi: The Path to Web3 Mass Adoption

Yield Opportunity 💎

Mantle's ecosystem is buzzing.

The Rewards Station in DeFi is a game-changer.

Mantle's key proposition is High Yield & High Rewards.
And it's bullish for $MNT.

The Best Opportunities 👇🧵

The Rewards Station is at the heart of Mantle’s strategy to incentivize long-term participation.

Currently, you can choose between three reward pools:

• $ENA Pool: $4.4M in rewards, APY up to 62%.
• $EIGEN Pool: $2.8M in rewards.
• $MNT Booster Pool: $1.2M in rewards over 60 days.

Let’s explore which one might suits you.

If you’re staking for the long term, the $ENA Pool is hard to beat. It offers APY ranging from 20%-62%, thanks to its innovative Mantle Power (MP) system.

Here’s how it works: The longer you lock your $MNT, the higher your MP multiplier, giving you a larger share of the pool. Perfect for those committed to Mantle’s future.

Rewards in the $ENA pool are calculated based on your MP. Here’s the formula:

(Your MP ÷ Total MP) × Pool Rewards.

Example: Locking $MNT for 300 days increases your MP by 10x, significantly boosting your share of rewards. This compounding effect makes long-term staking very lucrative.

Why the $ENA Pool is a solid pick ? 

It’s tied to Ethena’s ecosystem, which focuses on stablecoins and decentralized collateral. 

This brings real-world utility to the rewards you’re earning, making this pool not just profitable but aligned with DeFi’s future.

Another option to consider is the Eigen Pool, offering 570K $EIGEN (~$2.8M) in rewards over 90 days.

If you believe in Web3 scalability, Eigen’s focus on decentralized data infrastructure positions it as a high-potential project. 

Staking here gives you exposure to this rising star.

For those who prefer flexibility, the MNT Booster Pool is a shorter-term option.

With 1M $MNT (~$1.2M) in rewards over 60 days, it’s a good choice for newcomers or those hesitant about long-term locks. While the APY is lower, it’s a great way to get started with Mantle.

And have you noticed? $MNT has been making moves lately—Mantle is catching the attention of ALT season rotations. 🌟

A key tip: You can only participate in ONE campaign at a time.

If you’ve staked before, make sure to manually reallocate your $MNT to the pool of your choice on the event page. 

Strategy is key—switching pools mid-campaign might cost you rewards.

Mantle isn’t just about staking—it’s scaling its entire ecosystem. 

In Q3 2024:

• 500K ETH staked via mETHProtocol, driving TVL to $92.2M.
• $MNT revenue grew 33.51%.
• 4.3M $ENA ($2.19M) and 200M $COOK ($6.2M) distributed.

These numbers show Mantle is building for the long haul.

If you’re considering joining a campaign, here’s what’s active now:

📅 Ending Soon:
• Mantle Yield Lab: Ends Dec. 24.

📅 Ongoing:
• Ethena x Mantle Rewards: Dec. 6 - March 6.
• Eigen Rewards: Nov. 2 - March 5.

Getting in early often means higher rewards due to lower competition.

Let’s talk APR and APY. 

Staking rewards are higher when fewer users are in the pool. Long-term locks also increase your Mantle Power, giving you a bigger slice of the rewards.

➡ Monitor pool activity and stake early to maximize your returns.

My advice:

• If you’re bullish on Mantle’s long-term vision, lock $MNT in the $ENA pool for maximum APY (up to 62%).
• For exposure to Web3 infra, stake in the Eigen pool and collect $EIGEN rewards.
• New to Mantle? Start with the MNT Booster Pool to learn the system.

What makes Mantle’s approach stand out is its alignment of incentives. 

By linking rewards to projects like $ENA (Ethena) and $EIGEN (Eigen Layer), it’s not just rewarding stakers—it’s driving ecosystem growth.

This isn’t short-term farming. It’s about creating a sustainable DeFi framework.

And the rewards add no additional selling pressure on $MNT—a unique feature for any incentive program.

Are we still early?

Yes, we are still early. 

Even though it might feel like things are going crazy here and everything in our lives revolves around crypto. It’s important to step back and realize that this isn’t the reality for most people.

We're maybe not early anymore in the current cycle, but we're early in Crypto in general.

With the most recent estimates, only about 4 to 8% of the population are Crypto Users.

And a Crypto User is a vast term.

It could be someone like us here with a big share of our net worth in crypto, deeply immersed in DeFi protocols, staking, yield farming, trading memecoins, using many different allets & Blockchains, embracing the full spectrum of what crypto has to offer.

Or, it could be someone who just holds $10 worth of DOGE in a CEX. That's still a crypto user, and that's still something.

We’re starting to see increasing interest from institutions and companies. Corporate treasuries are diversifying into crypto, venture capital is pouring into blockchain projects, and even traditional financial institutions are experimenting with DeFi and tokenized assets.

However, mass adoption among individuals is the real tipping point. 
We need an easier access to Crypto, and actually useful dApps.

But we also need tools, education, and seamless experiences to bring crypto to the broader population. 

Adoption isn’t just about users buying crypto; it’s about people integrating blockchain into their everyday lives—using it for payments, gaming, social networks, identity, and more.

The numbers we’re looking at today—4% to 8%—could look tiny in hindsight when we revisit them a few years from now. 🫡

El Salvador and Bhutan are currently the only countries officially purchasing Bitcoin.

$BTC holdings in other countries are due to confiscation.

But things are about to change with the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve the US will most likely create, as promised by Trump.

And it seems very likely that other countries are accumulating BTC unofficially. 

Especially countries such as Qatar or UAE that have shown interest in blockchain innovations, digital currencies, and crypto-based financial services to modernize and diversify their economies.

Once the US has taken the first step, it's a safe bet that many other countries will officially accumulate BTC as a reserve asset.

Things are just getting started!

You know what IoT is, right?
The Internet of Things, interconnected networks of physical objects

→ These objects produce data

Now, imagine a future where this data works for you!

You're Early for a big Opportunity 🧵 ↓

✦ Let's start with the basics, what's IoT?

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the interconnected network of physical objects, or "things", embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies to communicate & exchange data with other devices and systems over the internet.

Everyday objects (home appliances, vehicles, wearable devices...) 
→ Collect, send, and receive data.

There are different ways of assessing the size of the IoT Market, depending on the scope of Definition.

It's hard to say for sure which is the most coherent valuation.

An estimation of a $270B Valuation with a 15% growth year-over-year seems like a coherent valuation.

Anyway it's a big Market interconnected with many other markets such as Cloud computing, Telecommunications, Blockchain, AI & Machine Learning, Semiconductors & Robotics, Big Data, and more.

This is definitely not to fade, whether IoT is used for your home, or huge Smart Cities Infrastructures for traffic management, waste management, public safety, energy efficiency, etc.

IoT is everywhere.

Let's dive in our main topic.

You might remember my deep dive on Vana. 

Now, they’re raising the bar with IoT Data DAO, which is powered by @withvana & @OzProtocol 

@iotdatadao's new model lets you monetize sensor data, giving you rewards while keeping ownership in your hands. 💡

https://x.com/CryptoShiro_/status/1837201476797747514

✦ What's a Sensor & its Data?

A sensor is a device that detects or measures physical properties from its environment and converts them into data that can be processed or analyzed.

You can monetize this data.

This innovative project, a collaboration between Vana & Oz Protocol, empowers you to capture the value of your data through Sense Agents. 🤖

A new era of data ownership is dawning, one that empowers individuals and rewards participation.

Imagine your smart home data – thermostats, cameras, lighting – being valuable to researchers & businesses!

The IoT Data DAO connects them to this data for AI training & analytics, all while respecting your ownership.

Sense Agents are software connectors for IoT devices used to share data with the DAO. 

These agents connect to Vana’s protocol, enabling seamless interaction between user data and AI developers.

To enable Data Liquidity, @withvana is mapping the data to fungible assets.

The data is stored in a Data Liquidity Pool (DLP) which uses a Proof-of-Contribution (PoC) system that ensures the integrity and quality of data.

Vana allows users to pool, tokenize & monetize data through DAOs.

Basically if you're tired of data giants controlling your information:

• You get compensated for your Data

• The IoT Data DAO promotes Transparency & User Empowerment

But what's Oz Protocol behind all that? 🧐

Current data collection incentivizes hoarding, limiting access to valuable info in crucial fields like cybersecurity & medicine.

@OzProtocol aims to break this cycle.

Basically Oz Protocol’s ecosystem allows developers to build new Sense Agents that integrate diverse IoT devices into the network.

Oz Protocol isn’t just a concept; it’s backed by serious players in the industry.

With trusted partners like Daisy, Covalent, Avalanche, Noves, AWS, Pallet, Snowflake and of course Vana, Oz Protocol has the support it needs to drive a new era of data ownership. 🚀

Oz protocol makes it simple: Integrate, Automate, and Earn. 📈

You can finally unlock the true value of your data—all while maintaining ownership! 💡

The apps you use today control your data within their walls! 🏢

Oz tackles the data monopoly by creating a replication protocol, opening access to the most valuable datasets. It empowers you to "exfiltrate" that data & sell it directly!

No more data silos, you control the flow. This also means no more restricted data hindering research or hindering small businesses..

In small amounts, data holds little value. 📉

Oz helps users generate large, well-structured datasets through "Collectors."

These gather and structure data from all your sources, maximizing value.

Developers, you are involved! 🛠️

Oz has an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain designed for peer-to-peer data streaming.

The network is currently in testnet, ready for your innovations!

Vana & Oz share a vision of a data-driven future where access is transparent and barrier-free. 🤝

This is why Oz launched its data pool on Vana!

Any Sense Agent user can join the IoT Data Pool by subscribing their existing data feed.

This means organizations can access data for AI and analytics, all fairly sourced and brand new!

Today, your smart home data sits unseen. 💤

The IoT Data DAO unlocks its potential, allowing Businesses and researchers to build with this data, fostering innovation.

With the IoT Data DAO, you can turn your IoT device data into a valuable asset. Connect your Sense Agents to Vana and start earning today!

✦ TL;DR

Data & AI are among the biggest Narratives out there.

And IoT Data DAO also fits the DePIN Narrative.

@withvana is building a huge ecosystem of Data DAOs.
@OzProtocol is the DePIN protocol that turns everyday connected devices into data (and revenue) generators.

Users collect data through IoT devices and manage it on Vana.

Oz Protocol ensures the data's integrity and authenticity, verifying its source before it is made available for sharing or sale.

Users choose to share or sell their verified data through the IoT Data DAO, where buyers can access high-quality data and stakeholders participate in governance.


They are still little-known projects.

So we're very early!

✦ Conclusion

This thread was written in collaboration with @iotdatadao 

By tokenizing and monetizing sensor data, IoT Data DAO is revolutionizing the way we interact with IoT data.

Own your data, power AI, and earn rewards.

I'm very curious to see how these projects will evolve & perform!

NFA & DYOR as always!

Data, DePIN & AI Narratives , IoT Data DAO Research

𝗥𝗪𝗔 💎 

This is the Narrative to keep an eye on for the Bull Market.

The Agricultural Market is vast and Essential to humanity.

→ Imagine the potential of tokenizing it and integrating crypto!

I researched a Low Cap with a huge potential fitting this Narrative.🧵 ↓ 

Ok let's discuss Agriculture, RWA & Crypto.

Introducing @landxfinance, a perpetual commodities vaults protocol connecting crypto investors with real-world farmers needing funding.

If you don't understand exactly what this means, stay with me, it's all very simple! ↓ 

𝗔 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰𝘀:

𝗥𝗪𝗔: Real World Asset → Tangible & Physical assets, like real estate, commodities, or bonds → Tokenized & represented on a blockchain.

Then they can be used in DeFi, making traditionally illiquid assets more accessible & liquid

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀: Primary products or raw materials that are typically used in commerce, and is interchangeable with other goods of the same type.

Examples: Oil, Gold, Metals, Agricultural Products,...

Here with LandX we are talking Wheat, Corn, Rice & Soy.

Let's get back to LandX.

They aim to reduce the impacts of food scarcity and instability on a local and global scale.

Which would be a game-changer for real-world farmers & retail investors.

LandX is solving an age-long problem of farmers: access to capital.

Summary of how it works ↓ 

LandX is bringing agriculture on-chain with a novel way of raising capital.

The project gives DeFi users the opportunity to gain exposure to agricultural commodities, & earn a real yield backed by crop share from IRL farmers.

Agricultural commodities like Corn or Wheat were not available onchain, until now.

One of the main use of LandX is their Credit Gateway.

Their Credit Gateway is the first initiative in the blockchain space to support real world farmers & incentivize DeFi users to invest in Agriculture & Commodities. 

How does it work? ↓ 

✦ 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁 𝗚𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘄𝗮𝘆

Real world farmers in need of funding are connected with DeFi Users via Blockchain Technology.

LandX handles the legal part (the part that Farmers or DeFi Users wouldn't want to handle).

Leveraging Aave Credit Delegation.

Leveraging Aave Credit Delegation allows users who have deposited funds into Aave to "delegate" their borrowing power to LandX Credit Gateway to get much higher APY. 

Basically you can use AAVE credit to lend on LandX Credit Gateway.

To secure loans, farmers are prompted to provide collateral, which serves as a safety net in case they fail to repay. 

This collateral can include assets like land, real estate, vehicles, or even cryptocurrency.

Everything is verified by LandX & Partners to ensure Lenders are safe.

Lenders are nicely rewarded to lend out their USDC to borrowers who are subject to fixed loan terms.

Borrowers are empowered by a completely new system of funding.

The team is being smart about it as they're raising the caps of the pools safely and slowly, assuring to process with care and avoid issues.

The LandX Credit Gateway pools got filled quickly last time!

But they're already opening new pools with high APYs (16-30%).

Early supporters in both Senion & Junior Pools might be eligible for additional rewards, so don’t wait to lend your funds! 👀

𝗧𝗟;𝗗𝗥

For Borrowers: 
• Fixed loan terms 
• Flexible collateral options 
• Fast turnaround time

For Lenders:
• Provide capital to borrowers 
• Earn double-digit yields on their stablecoins 
• Choose from various pools with different risk profiles

In addition to the Credit Gateway you have another way of earning yield, xTokens.

You can currently earn around 16-18% APR on Commodity Yield. ↓ 

✦ 𝘅𝗧𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻𝘀

cToken represents 1kg of a product.

For example, 1 cWHEAT is equal to the current market price of 1kg of Wheat.

And xTokens are yield bearing tokens providing a fixed yield in cTokens.

1 xWHEAT can be staked to earn 1 cWHEAT per year, which can then be exchanged for USDC at market value of 1kg of wheat.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘅𝗧𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻𝘀?

✦ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀

The Audited Proof of Reserves enables users to independently verify the collateral reserves of the xTokens on-chain.

→ Reinforces asset integrity

And it's powered by Chainlink’s decentralized network, 

→ Ensures trust-minimized verification and transparency

✦ 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀

LandX Credit Gateway is now live on Arbitrum!

x.com/landxfinance/status/1813905093043118123

And LandX products are coming soon on Base.

LandX is also establishing partnerships with RWA chains, such as @plumenetwork on their testnet 👀 

✦ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻

This thread was made in collaboration with @landxfinance 

LandX is a long-term project leveraging the power of crypto for real-world utility. 

That's why I'm excited to work with a project actually trying to build something meaningful.

LandX Deep Dive: Tokenizing Agriculture

If I tell you there is an:

• Underlooked L1
• W/ a great potential for Mass Adoption
• Onboarding 1 Billion Users

Do you know what I'm talking about?

We're talking about 10x TVL in 3 months, 1M Weekly Active Wallets & some of the fastest growing communities

𝗔𝗟𝗣𝗛𝗔 👇🧵

I'm talking about @ton_blockchain here obviously.

I know that if you're on X and active on Crypto you've heard about TON already, but do you know how fast it grew and how far it can still go?

I've been keeping an eye on TON for years & I noticed recently its insane growth.

✦ What's TON?

The Open Network (TON) is a decentralized and open internet, created by the community using a technology designed by Telegram.

→ A Web3 ecosystem within Telegram Messenger → TON is giving billions the opportunity to own their digital identity, data, and assets.

Telegram currently has over 900M monthly active users,

and has been in the top 5 most downloaded apps in the world for a few years now.

Telegram is also privacy-oriented.

As Telegram is growing to be the world's most popular messaging app, the growth potential is huge for TON!

With the recent launch of $USDt on TON, it's even easier to use TON & onboard new users.

Sending stablecoins arround the world for free, on one of the fastest blockchains.

You can also get high APYs on TON/USDt pair, on Stonfi & Dedust. (Up to 500%).

https://x.com/ton_blockchain/status/1782382158818021748

✦ So what can you do on TON?

Apart from zero-fee $USDt transfers and withdrawals, direct integration in Telegram, and ease of use?

Of course there is a big TON ecosystem, DeFi Products & Games.

You also have many Apps integrated directly into Telegram.

Some of them are super popular already, like @thenotcoin which recently launched.

$NOT Launch was massive, with over 1.2B MCap already!

$NOT launch is TON's first major ecosystem project catalyst, and this is only the beginning.

With popular projects like Notcoin, TON can onboard new users onchain.

The launch on TON has led to significant onchain results: 


▪️ New Notcoin onchain holders: 1,000,000+
▪️ Notcoin mints: 841k+ 
▪️ DEX activity: 216k+ swaps by 117k+ traders in 30 hours

Another MiniApp is launching on TON, @hamster_kombat, a Tap-2-Earn management simulation game.

They already have 60M users and 4M followers on X.

They selected TON to launch their token in June.

So it's another opportunity to earn tokens:

TON also recently grew a lot thanks to The Open League incentive programme, which distributed $40M to the TON Community.

This shows the team knows how to attract users, offer incentives, and create interest around TON Ecosystem.

You can earn more tokens for free!

Here is the growth since The Open League Programme:

• Daily active wallets (DAW): 370k (+725%)
• Monthly Active Wallets: 1.7M (+325%)
• DeFi TVL: $328M (+800%)
• LPs: 37.5k (+765%)
• Daily Trading Volume: $29.2M (+1,038%)
• Token Holders: 1.6M (+1,316%)

The season 4 of The Open League programme is starting Now! (June 13th)

We can expect another wave of users & incentives 👀 

It's starting with boosted pools on @ston_fi & @dedust_io with over $1.8M in rewards for the next two weeks. 


This season features four leaderboards, including two new battles: DeFi and NFT, along with the Token and App categories. 
 
Keep onchain activity high and provide liquidity via the @TONOpenLeague bot to earn rewards!

TON Team is building hard, making new partnerships, integrating new apps, onboarding more people, and it does not seem to be slowing down.

Recently Pantera, which is the oldest fund in the crypto space, announced that they have made their biggest ever investment into $TON.

✦ Conclusion

This thread was made in collaboration with @ton_blockchain.

Many things are coming for TON and it seems like they're well positioned to massively onboard new users, especially with the easy connection with Telegram.
