Just finished watching the replay of @Bybit_Official CEO Ben's speech about the future of finance, and honestly, it was quite insightful. He wasn't talking about a single product or concept, but a larger direction: finance is becoming "programmable," and the flow of funds will become more intelligent and closer to real individual needs. I particularly agree with one point he made: this isn't just a technological upgrade, but rather bringing finance back to its essential "serving people" nature—connecting individuals, assets, and opportunities more efficiently and flexibly. For those who have long followed Crypto, Web3, or the future of finance, this kind of thinking is definitely worth taking the time to understand. If you've been thinking about where the crypto industry is headed recently, this speech might offer some different perspectives; I recommend checking it out.

Kevin Warsh, nominated by Trump to be the next Federal Reserve Chairman, stated in a 2025 interview that Bitcoin is a highly disruptive new technology, an important asset, and even a "health check" for policymakers. "Whether we're right or wrong, we can tell by its price; therefore, it's more like an inspector of monetary policy." Warsh's statement is actually very informative. He wasn't talking about price, but about the feedback mechanism. The existence of Bitcoin provides monetary policy with, for the first time, an uncontrolled and unmanipulated market signal. If you're right, it's stable; if you're wrong, it explodes. From this perspective, BTC's role has indeed transcended that of a "speculative commodity."

Last night, I had just lain down when a guy in the group chat suddenly @ed everyone: 'Why did my yield stop after joining LP? Did I get scammed again?' Half asleep, I opened Ferra and saw "in range/out of range"... then realized I was out of range myself 😂 I was so stupid, it instantly woke me up. This week's highlights from @ferra_protocol: ✅ W10 #FerraLPGuild settlement, bonus fees available ✅ High-yield pools with "4-figure APR + Bonus Points" are recruiting ✅ Coming soon: DAMM, Trading Guild, Feeds Premium The engineers think: Ferra isn't "just another DEX," but rather it turns liquidity into an operational business—DLMM is like order book making, Guild is like a team competition, and Feeds is like an information asymmetry gateway. It's pretty addictive. Three sentences: Pro: Widen your pool; claim before leaving; join Guild for bonuses. DYOR. I'm going to roll it up! Let's get started!

Last night I worked overtime until 11 pm. Going downstairs to buy coffee, I ran into a guy from a brokerage complaining that RWA is just a PowerPoint presentation, only issuing "points" on-chain. I casually replied, "You probably didn't see @KAIO_xyz's Frontier launch today..." When I got home and checked, it really got me hooked. KAIO Frontier is now live: 25M $KAIO pre-TGE will be distributed to those who consistently contribute. Entry point: What I find interesting is that you didn't just write empty praise, but clearly explained how real assets can enter DeFi—compliance, liquidity, composability. The official website already lists Blackstone Cash, Hamilton Lane Private Lending, Laser Digital Carry, Brevan Howard Macro, etc., with an AUM of approximately $108.5M. To get points, I suggest two things: focus on one topic and delve deeply; clearly explain the source of returns/risks/on-chain path. I'm going to join now... Are you guys in? #KAIO #RWA

Last night I was working overtime until 1 AM when a friend suddenly sent me a picture of an anime avatar: "Generated with a single sentence, and I even opened a deal on the spot." I thought he was using a filter, but he replied: "It's not a filter, it's @wardenprotocol's Anime Agent + Trading Terminal, playing and accumulating PUMPs simultaneously." I woke up laughing. These past two days I've seen many people testing it/sharing screenshots of their rankings, so I checked the updates: Warden Studio is now online: Agent listing takes less than 1 minute, on-chain identity + USDC monetization (per use/subscription); $1M builder incentive, Top 10 in the first month each receive $10k. Trading incentives are even stronger: Every $1 trade = 30 PUMPs, multiplied by volume; Weekly/Monthly rankings are active, 1 month's monthly ranking rewards x5. New Anime Agent: 1024 free images, making it super easy to create avatars/materials/emoticons. The engineers believe Warden's most valuable asset isn't its "points," but rather the successful implementation of its "distribution → monetization → verifiable (SPEX)" system. Those looking to profit are jumping in: builders are scrambling for Studio slots; traders are bringing their daily activities here. Which side are you on? #WARD @aixc_official @aixcfoundation

Last night I worked until almost midnight, my phone only had 8% battery left and I was still getting pressured by the client for more information. A guy in the quantitative trading group asked: "Can't DEX fees be less like opening a blind box?" Before I could reply, he added insult to injury: "Data is fed to AI, and all the credit goes to the platform..." I sipped my cold coffee and opened @OpenledgerHQ, feeling a bit overwhelmed. OpenLedger's logic is very robust: it records the contributions of data/models/agents on the blockchain, uses Proof of Attribution to trace the source, and distributes rewards according to contribution. Two things have been crucial in the past week: ① Partnering with Injective to pave a faster and more MEV-resistant path for "automated execution"; ② Implementing AI dynamic fees within the Algebra framework: FeeScore (0-100) is overlaid with optional signals such as trading behavior, volatility/liquidity, reputation/Proof-of-Human/activity participation, etc., with higher participation resulting in more reasonable fees; no participation results in default fees, without coercion. The engineers think: This isn't just empty talk; it's about making incentives a protocol-level engineering feat... I admit I'm a little tempted. The next step is to see if MAIN AI DEX can generate real transaction volume and retention rates.

Last night, I was queuing at the convenience store. The guy in front of me was staring at his phone, and I thought he was watching a betting game again. I leaned closer to look: a chessboard with spell effects. He cursed, "Got killed again..." and shoved a screenshot of the leaderboard in my face, his eyes more focused than when he was trading futures. Even the cashier was curious: "How can you use skills while playing chess?" He replied, "It's called Spell Chess." @AnichessGame This time, they really listened to advice. Chat: Kaito Airdrops Phase 2 is open—$1 million checks per month for the top 200 creators; staking threshold reduced to $2000 checks, minimum reward $2500 (CN/KR 150k pools each). In the game, Season 5 Winter Clash: Checkmate Arena 5000 M8 buy-in, win +300/loss or tie +100, $1 million checks distributed at the end of the season, Top 100 draws for Ethernals. Plus "Void" to use royalties to buy back Ethernals and lock $checks. The engineers believe this isn't just about mining; it's about factoring in strategy and content. So, are you going for Airdrops or Arena?

Last night around 11 PM, we were debugging contracts in the group chat. Our coffee got cold, and the guy next to me, who had just been liquidated, was still being defiant: "It's just oracle pricing, why are you doing reserve buybacks?" I replied, "@PythNetwork is now turning data into cash flow, not just telling stories." He paused for three seconds: Okay… you've got something. Three key Pyth points this week 👇 (Don't miss them, guys) 1) PYTH Reserve: The DAO uses 1/3 of its treasury open market to buy $PYTH monthly; Pyth Pro reached $1M ARR in just one month after its soft start. 2) Solid Expansion: Plume's RWA (NestCredit Vaults) has been integrated with the Pyth price source; Cardano has prioritized Pyth Pro for integration and is also pushing for Dune data visualization. 3) Avoid Pitfalls: 50 low-usage price feeds are starting to be decommissioned. Those doing strategy/liquidation should check their dependencies first. The engineer believes the biggest challenge with oracles isn't "faster," but rather whether the "usage → revenue → buyback → reserve" loop can be closed. I'm willing to monitor this approach for a whole year. Which area do you think Pyth will prioritize: RWA, prediction markets, or CEX/TradFi?

I was still fixing bugs at 1 AM last night, my coffee was cold, and my neighbor suddenly shoved his phone at me: 'Engineer, Klara's unlocked! Should we unplug it now?' I thought he was going to unplug the internet… turns out it was a 72-hour "life-or-death window" given by @Kindred_AI. The rules are simple and brutal: Unlocked on 12/31 → Ends on 1/2 at 23:59 UTC → Automatically renews until 2026/6/30 on 1/3. Doing nothing = retain old bonus +2×$KIN; adding within the window = 2×; after the window = 1×; full refund = 0. The engineer thinks this mechanism is filtering out "long-term players": rewarding those who stay on board, not tour groups. Add to that @metamaxxmoon's mention of scheduling 30+ meetings in Japan in January to attract anime IPs, and discussions with @KaitoAI about linking yappers/NFT holders/real users to the same ranking system—Kindred isn't just making a chat box; it's building a "sustainable companionship economy." Are you still holding on, or have you already gotten off the train? #KIN

Last night at 1 AM, a friend in the group suddenly tagged me: 'Engineer, I got ripped off by the spread again…' I thought he just slipped his fingers, but then he showed me a screenshot: two trades at the same price point, and I lost the price of a hotpot! I laughed in exasperation. We decided to try @flipster_io instead; it seems more "trader-oriented." This week, Flipster has three key initiatives: 1) × @KaitoAI Creator Campaign Month 2 (January 1st - January 31st, 40K USDT): 10 weekly content rewards of 100 USDT each + tasks; multiplier = trading ≥50K USDT in the last 30 days or new user referrals ≥1. 2) Futures Champions K.O. S1 (December 31st - January 5th UTC, up to 350K USDT, launched before January 12th) + perpetual new LIT/MAGMA/COLLECT. 3) PoR 1:1 + Merkle self-check, daily updates planned. The engineer believes: Don't write empty words, write "reproducible trading notes" to earn points. Not interested? I am! Tonight I'll start with "reason for opening a position - slippage - funding rate". #flipsterkaito
