Alien Base is a Base-native decentralized exchange (DEX) offering features like yield farming, single staking, and stable swaps. It aims to enhance the Base Chain ecosystem by providing innovative DeFi solutions.

This article provides an in-depth analysis of Solana's new inflation proposal SIMD-0228 and its potential impacts. The proposal suggests changing SOL's fixed inflation model to a dynamic mechanism to optimize network security and decentralization. The article discusses the proposal's effects on staking rates, DeFi ecosystem, and validator incentives, while evaluating opportunities and risks based on lessons learned from Ethereum's EIP-1559 and Cosmos. It also analyzes the proposal's potential impact on SOL price, market liquidity, and ecosystem development, providing readers with a comprehensive perspective.

This article examines four major distribution tactics used by market makers in the crypto market: single-sided liquidity pools manipulation (exemplified by the LIBRA token case), fake buyback schemes, spot market control combined with futures shorting, and staking traps. Through detailed case studies, it reveals how project teams exploit market mechanisms and retail investor psychology to maximize profits while creating the illusion of sustainable growth.

With the similar backgrounds of Sui and Aptos, the debate over which will emerge as the leader in the Move-based blockchain space continues to heat up. This report takes a data-driven approach to explore the overall performance of the Sui and Aptos ecosystems in 2024. It covers key aspects such as network performance, user growth, capital inflows, ecosystem development, and token performance, providing a comprehensive analysis of their progress.

This article provides an in-depth comparison of DeFi 1.0, DeFi 2.0, and DeFi 3.0, analyzing their development history and core characteristics. It explores the evolution of liquidity mechanisms, capital efficiency, and governance models while discussing the future trends of decentralized finance.

Avalon Labs is building a leading Bitcoin on-chain financial hub, aiming to revolutionize the way Bitcoin interacts with global markets. Its mission is to provide a seamless ecosystem that bridges decentralized finance (DeFi) with traditional financial services. The platform offers a range of innovative solutions, including Bitcoin-collateralized loans, Bitcoin-backed stablecoins, yield-generating accounts, and even credit cards. Its goal is to create a scalable, transparent, and accessible financial network that empowers Bitcoin holders and transforms Bitcoin into a dynamic economic asset.

The stablecoin supply on Sui has surged nearly 100 times in more than a year, from US$5.4 million to US$490 million - this is the fastest-growing public chain in Web3. As capital inflows accelerate, is Sui positioning itself as the next blockchain to dominate stable digital assets? Let’s take a closer look.

With the official launch of the Berachain Ecosystem Page, multiple sectors including DeFi, RWA, GameFi, SocialFi, and infrastructure have successively joined the Berachain ecosystem. This article highlights some of the projects that have already launched on Berachain, providing an overview of the current development progress of Berachain.

Polkadot and Cosmos were both launched during the 2019–2020 cycle as cross-chain projects. Each of them carries high expectations. While both projects have experienced prolonged price stagnation since their 2021 market cap peaks, their adoption at the application layer has followed different paths—leveraging relay chains and slot mechanisms in distinct ways. This article reviews the past five years of ecosystem development for these two leading cross-chain projects from an application perspective.

Discover how The Hive is transforming DeFi by integrating AI-driven agents to simplify financial operations, enhance automation, and improve accessibility on the Solana blockchain.

AgentFi is a novel concept merging artificial intelligence (AI) decision-making with decentralized finance (DeFi) markets. In this ecosystem, AI agents function beyond simple trading—they act as sophisticated fund managers who can develop and adapt complex strategies. These agents independently analyze investments, evaluate tokens, and participate in blockchain governance and validation. AgentFi's combination of dynamic decision-making, multi-step operations, and agent-to-protocol interactions makes it complex. Though still in its early stages, AgentFi shows significant potential as AI technology becomes more prevalent.

From data and AI Agent issuance to liquidity optimization, how is Pundi AI building a comprehensive product suite around its vision of providing full-cycle AI development services? This article delves into the topic.

This article explores mechanisms for building decentralized credit scores using blockchain transaction history and DeFi interactions, replacing traditional centralized credit systems.

The CIAN protocol enables LSD (Liquid Staking Derivative) holders to earn not only staking rewards but also additional DeFi yields. CIAN is transforming DeFi yield generation, and as an automated DeFi yield optimization platform, its total value locked (TVL) has surpassed $1.4 billion—far exceeding the TVL of many major blockchains. With immense growth potential, CIAN is reshaping the DeFi landscape.

The Solana governance forum recently introduced the SIMD-0228 proposal, which aims to dynamically adjust the inflation rate, reducing SOL's annual issuance by 80% to direct capital toward the DeFi ecosystem. However, the proposal has sparked heated discussions within the community regarding the "inflationary spiral" and conflicting interests.
