GIWA (Global Infrastructure for Web3 Access) is an Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain built on the OP Stack by Dunamu, the South Korean company behind Upbit cryptocurrency exchange. The network targets one-second block times and fees in the range of one Korean won, with full EVM compatibility so existing Solidity apps can be deployed without modification. Dunamu has raised $143.26M in funding and operates Upbit alongside two equity investment platforms, Stockplus and U-Stockplus. GIWA is the company’s on-chain layer for tying that exchange infrastructure to DeFi, stablecoins, real-world assets, and consumer Web3 apps. The L2 is currently live on a public testnet ahead of mainnet launch.

Trench Exchange is a Solana-based trading terminal built to surface smart wallet activity and real-time market positioning before tokens trend. The platform pulls on-chain data through Goldrush, an indexing layer from Covalent, so traders can track wallet flows, spot alpha plays, and react to positioning signals in seconds rather than hours. The product is aimed at active Solana traders who need early signals. Trench rolls wallet tracking, token analytics, and trade execution into one dashboard, which cuts down the usual tab-switching between trackers, charting tools, and trading bots. The project is currently in open beta.
Word Markets is a perpetuals decentralized exchange on MegaETH, the high-throughput EVM-compatible Layer 2. The exchange combines perps, spot trading, and a lending market under one cross-margin account, so every deposited asset can back any open position. The platform uses USDM, MegaETH’s native stablecoin, as its primary quote asset. Deposit any spot-listed token and it immediately counts as collateral, which lowers liquidation prices across your full portfolio. Word Markets also supports 1-click trading, so you don’t need to sign every order through a wallet popup.
Robin Markets is a DeFi protocol on Polygon that lets users stake their Polymarket YES/NO position tokens to earn yield while keeping full market exposure. Polymarket positions usually sit idle until a market resolves. Robin Markets uses delta-neutral pairing and lending strategies to put that collateral to work. Stakes can be withdrawn at any time, and the protocol guarantees a minimum APY through automated top-up payments. Robin Markets raised $475,000 in an angel round in April 2026, led by Fabric VC with joint leads from Animoca Brands and ATKA Incubator. Other participants included John Lilic, Gnosis co-founder Stefan D. George, Hilbert Capital, LayerZero, and Gnosis itself.
DeFi has long sought a better stability model, yet most systems still depend on overcollateralization, rigid peg mechanics, or trust in centralized issuers. Janus introduces a different approach with what it describes as Stablecoin 3.0: a Proof-of-Belief reserve asset where stability is shaped through participation, conviction, and market behavior. It’s a dual-token risk-tranched protocol where users choose the exposure that matches their strategy. Both assets share the same collateral base, but each one serves a different role: • Alpha (α) → Suited for users seeking higher yield with more risk. • Omega (Ω) → Suited for users seeking stability and lower volatility. This structure separates growth-focused exposure from defensive positioning, giving participants a clearer way to interact with risk without forcing every user into the same model. Janus also introduces Proof-of-Belief through recurring Epoch Markets, where users take YES or NO positions around protocol stability. YES aligns
Jito Labs, recognized as the major infrastructure builder in Solana’s market layer, has launched JTX Trade, a new self-custodial trading platform built for serious onchain traders. This self-custodial app offers serious onchain traders an integrated environment with professional charts, reliable order execution, real-time market data, and full control of funds. This launch signifies more than a new product. Solana’s infrastructure is battle-tested, but trading still feels disjointed. JTX aims to close that gap—offering a seamless experience with dependable limit orders, deep liquidity, and a trading flow that matches the network’s speed. Further strengthening the context, Jito’s broader vision is unfolding. Thomas Uhm, CCO at Jito Foundation, discussed how JitoSOL could underpin institutional strategies—blending staking yield, ETFs, and CME futures to connect DeFi liquidity with traditional markets. For deeper insight, Jito’s YouTube series dives into how JTX aligns with Jito’s mission
Perpetual markets have long forced traders to grapple not only with reading the market but with decoding hidden variables: funding rates, liquidation thresholds, and complex fee structures. Forte is bringing a different approach to perpetual trading ⚡ Forte is a compliant, interoperable blockchain protocol originally focused on digital economies and asset infrastructure. Its technology was built to help developers create secure on-chain systems where assets, incentives, and user participation can operate under clearer rules. Fairground, built on this base, applies that experience to perpetual markets through a trading environment built around transparent pricing, no funding rates, and upside-only rebates, creating a cleaner structure for leveraged trading across crypto, FX, stocks, and commodities. The company raised $725 million in funding, backed by Coinbase, Galaxy, Animoca Brands, Samsung Next, Polygon Studios, and Solana Ventures, as covered by BusinessWire. Early Access & XP Pro
What if you could hold real U.S. stocks directly in your wallet, trade them 24/7, and even access bi-directional 2× or 3× leveraged exposure with zero liquidation risk? SHIFT is turning that potential into reality ⚡ The protocol transforms stocks, ETFs, and leveraged equity exposure into SPL tokens, covering markets like Tesla, Nvidia, Apple, the S&P 500, semiconductors, uranium, and more. The real advantage is control: by holding stocks in your wallet, you stay self-custodied, and your assets can also be used in DeFi—earning yield, being used as collateral, or integrated into liquidity pools—unlike stocks trapped in traditional brokers. Leverage is built into the token structure itself, so there are no margin calls, forced liquidations, or collateral wipeouts. Stocks are fully backed by real shares held by Alpaca Markets, a FINRA-registered, SEC-regulated broker-dealer, with reserves verified by Chainlink Proof of Reserve. Best of all, no KYC is required, giving users frictionless acc
AveForge is a fast-paced mech arena game on MegaETH where players build, upgrade, and battle custom robots in real time. You choose a mech, refine your build, and fight through PvE battles to earn gear, improve performance, and climb competitive rankings. The gameplay loop is direct and easy to understand, but leaves room for strategy. Each mech is built around core attributes like attack, defense, and ranged power, while battles require timing, upgrades, and smart build choices to progress. Behind that gameplay sits a real economy. Players earn Credits, shards, equipment, and modules through battles, then use them to upgrade their mech or trade on the marketplace. Items can be bought and sold for $ETH, creating a loop where performance can translate into real value. Play, Earn Rewards, and Stack MegaETH Points AveForge combines gameplay rewards and competitive incentives into one system. Players earn by fighting PvE battles across multiple difficulty levels. Higher difficulty means h
Scratch cards have always followed the same model: you pay, reveal, and hope for an instant win. However, most of the time, if you don’t hit a prize, the value is gone. Chisino changes that model on MegaETH ️ Chisino is a Web3 consumer DeFi app that reimagines scratch cards through a prize-linked savings system powered by onchain yield. Instead of a simple win-or-lose outcome, every play combines instant rewards with a yield-backed recovery mechanism, where part of each entry is deployed into MegaETH’s USDm market on Aave. Each Scratch card costs 3 pUSD and is split into three parts: 1.25 pUSD funds the prize pool, 1.50 pUSD is deposited into a yield-generating vault, and 0.25 pUSD goes to the protocol. In return, every play mints an NFT ticket backed by that yield, designed to recover toward its full value over time while still giving players a chance to win rewards instantly. The result is a very different experience. You can win immediately, and even when you do not, your ticket con
Kumbaya is where liquidity lives on MegaETH. It is the main DEX and launchpad of the ecosystem, where users swap assets, provide liquidity, earn trading fees, and discover new tokens across its Memes and Dares launchpad sections. For users who want to put capital to work, the main activity is liquidity provision. Kumbaya lets users deposit into active pairs such as MEGA/USDm, MEGA/WETH, WETH/USDm, and other ecosystem pools, then earn from the swap fees generated by real trading activity. Kumbaya’s DEX runs on Uniswap V3-style concentrated liquidity, which is different from the classic 50/50 pool model many users know from Uniswap V2. LPs choose the price range where their capital is active. When trades happen within that range, the position earns fees. If price moves outside the selected range, the position stops earning until the range is adjusted. This gives LPs more control and better capital efficiency, but it also makes position management important. Tighter ranges can earn more w
Wallets were initially designed to hold assets and connect users to dApps. In early Web3, that was enough. Today, users navigate across multiple chains, protocols, bridges, lending markets, and yield strategies, where each decision impacts portfolio risk. heyAura gives wallets the intelligence layer they were missing ⚡ It analyzes wallet addresses through the AdEx app to assess holdings, risk exposure, and cross-chain opportunities, while delivering personalized strategies and automation that guide users toward staking, lending, and yield across platforms like Morpho, Pendle, Ankr and more. Key integrations with SKALE, Billions Network, and Mind Network enable gasless execution, trusted agent identity, and privacy, turning wallet activity into guided onchain actions. heyAura Loyalty Program & $ADX Airdrop The heyAura Loyalty Program is live. Farm Aura points by completing tasks and referring friends. Each referral gives 100 points to the invited user, and you earn 20% of their points.
Every day you hold Proof-of-Stake assets without staking, you leave yield on the table. DeFi already gives users many ways to put capital to work through lending and yield protocols like Morpho, Aave, and Pendle, as well as staking solutions such as Rocket Pool and Lido. However, these options often focus primarily on Ethereum and stablecoins. Ankr is the platform to turn to if you want to stake across a broad set of POS blockchains. It allows you to stake not just $ETH, but also BNB, AVAX, POL, FLOW, SUI, and even IOTA. Once funds are deposited, a liquid yield-bearing token is issued to represent the position. Its value increases as rewards accrue, while remaining fully usable across DeFi. It can be deployed for liquidity, lending, or other strategies, and for ETH positions, it can also be restaked through EigenLayer to add an additional reward layer without giving up the base staking yield. The result is a position that keeps generating returns while staying flexible across networks
Hit One is a perpetual futures trading platform built on MegaETH. It offers up to 1000x leverage on crypto markets, built around fast execution via off-chain order aggregation. The pitch is unsubtle: extreme leverage, arcade-style UX, aimed at traders who want speed and risk in one place. Hit One opened to the public around April 23, 2026, after dropping its waitlist.
Dango is a decentralized exchange where users can trade spot markets, access perpetual futures, and earn yield through vault strategies, all from a single account. A defining aspect of Dango is that it runs on its own Layer 1 blockchain, built specifically for trading and structured around a unified margin system focused on stronger capital efficiency. At the execution layer, Dango uses a fully on-chain order book with batch auctions, powered by Grug, its custom execution environment, to reduce MEV exposure while enabling account abstraction, flexible fee handling, passkey-based access, and automated functions. Dango is developed by Left Curve Software and led by Larry Lyu, a veteran Cosmos contributor and smart contract developer. The project is backed by Hack VC, Lemniscap, and Delphi Labs, with audits completed by Sherlock, Zellic, and Inform Systems. Dango Points Program is Live Each week, 1,000,000 points are distributed: • 750,000 points go to perpetual traders • 250,000 points
DeFi is full of opportunities across trading, arbitrage, and yield, but turning them into consistent results is still complex, time-consuming, and demands constant attention. This is where Knidos comes in At its core, Knidos is an on-chain AI fund manager powered by a single autonomous trading agent that manages capital across three algorithmic investment pools. It focuses on AI trading, funding rate arbitrage, and yield optimisation, with delta-neutral and risk-adjusted execution. The agent monitors market data, on-chain flows, news, and social sentiment on in real time to detect market shifts, reposition capital, and adapt strategy as opportunities evolve. The protocol is developed by Knidos Labs, a company incorporated in Zug, Switzerland, with investors including the Avalanche Foundation, xVentures, and zkVerify, while its smart contracts have been independently audited by Nethermind. The Knidos Testnet Is Live: Earn Points Toward a Post-TGE Airdrop The campaign uses a points-b
A wave has hit Ethereum, bringing value back to those who shaped its culture Whalecoin did not arrive with loud promises. It arrived by putting tokens into wallets. Half of the $Whalecoin total token supply was distributed to ETH OGs and meme communities that carried this ecosystem through cycles, including: PEPE, MOG, SPX, JOE, Asteroid, Neiro, Shiba, NPC, Harry Potter and Wojak Each eligible wallet received 0.05% of the supply, with a single allocation per wallet even when holdings span multiple pods. Whalecoin frames Ethereum as an ocean, and whales as the force that shapes its tides, those who move in silence, hold with weight, and answer only to the ocean But this is only the first wave. A second phase is now unfolding through an identity-based claim tied to , allowing eligible accounts to verify their status and claim. No tasks, just a clear statement of alignment. The Whale Watching dashboard gives that rollout real visibility, showing which wallets are eligible, which alloca
Bitcoin is a trillion-dollar asset class, but for years it has remained idle. That is the gap Hermetica is targeting with hBTC ⚡ hBTC is Hermetica’s institutional-grade Bitcoin yield product, created to generate Bitcoin-denominated returns while keeping users aligned with $BTC exposure. At the core of the system is a yield engine that combines Bitcoin-backed strategies with USDh, Hermetica’s synthetic dollar, generating returns through basis trading, Strategy’s STRC, and Stacks Dual Stacking, with profits converted back into $BTC for daily auto-compounding. Risk mitigation relies on transparent reserves, a dedicated on-chain reserve fund, real-time exposure tracking, and smart contract audits by Clarity Alliance and Greybeard Security. The company is registered in Panama and has raised $1.7 million in seed funding led by UTXO Management, with backing from CMS Holdings, Ethos Fund, Trust Machines SPV, Newman Capital, Silvermine, and other strategic angel investors, as covered by The Blo
OpenGradient is a decentralized network built for AI inference, where every computation can be cryptographically verified without relying on any single party. Models run across a permissionless set of specialized compute nodes, proofs settle on-chain, and the entire request-to-response pipeline is auditable. Rather than wrapping existing AI APIs, OpenGradient ships a full infrastructure stack: a purpose-built blockchain paired with GPU compute nodes, all organized around the principle that AI inference should be verifiable by default. AI workloads have different requirements than financial transactions. Inference takes seconds rather than milliseconds, needs GPUs rather than CPUs, and handles large unstructured data. Having every validator re-execute every computation simply does not scale. OpenGradient’s answer is a Hybrid AI Compute Architecture (HACA) that separates execution from verification. Inference requests go directly to specialized compute nodes and return with web2-like lat
SimpleChain is a Layer 1 blockchain built for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization at institutional scale. Unlike general-purpose chains, it bakes compliance and data infrastructure into the protocol itself, so industries can tokenize assets without bolting on third-party compliance tools afterward. The core stack includes Compliance-as-a-Service (CaaS), a Trusted Data Service (TDS) for granular on-chain asset data, and a DataIPO protocol for asset issuance. SimpleChain raised a $15 million seed round in April 2026, backed by family offices and institutional investors. The testnet launched around April 10–11, 2026, with mainnet still ahead.
Miden is a zero-knowledge rollup built on Ethereum that introduces client-side proving—where users execute and verify their own transactions for scalable and private computation. The Alpha Testnet is live—install the Miden wallet, claim test tokens, and interact early. Those helping test the network may be rewarded with a potential $MIDEN airdrop post-TGE. Miden has confirmed that 10% of its future $MIDEN total token supply will be distributed to Polygon ($MATIC) stakers as part of its commitment to the broader Polygon ecosystem. About Miden Miden is a STARK-based ZK-rollup that moves execution and state management off-chain. Users generate proofs locally, reducing re-execution costs while preserving privacy and performance. Backed by $25 million in seed funding from a16z, 1kx, and Hack VC, Miden spun out of Polygon Labs and is contributing to the AggLayer. The mainnet launch is scheduled for Q4 2025.
