Shorted $SOL on @NolusProtocol expecting more downside. I chose spot margin over perps recently for tighter risk control: • Fixed rate locked • Partial liquidations + MAG instead of full wipe Have a good weekend fam.

> @LayerZero_Core mainnet is getting closer. here’s what i’d explore before november 30 👇 what interests me is the distribution forming around ATLAS. Based already serves traders, Globe is opening early access, and Tzero has a testnet points program. 1. Tzero | explore the launchpad @T0dotfun is building a token launchpad for Zero. its current testnet runs on Base Sepolia, where missions trade on a bonding curve before graduating to TzeroSwap. start here: testnet.tzer0.fun - get free Base Sepolia test ETH through the faucets linked in the app. - Season 0 has 5% of T0 supply allocated. - Fuel earns 1,000 points per test ETH of eligible buys, with a 60-minute hold and a daily cap of 1 test ETH per wallet. - Crew, Liftoff and staking have their own qualifying conditions. check them before repeating transactions. - Signal only starts after the relevant X announcement opens. - eligibility begins at 500 points. scores remain provisional until the final snapshot. this is the clearest place on my list to explore a product with published participation rules. 2. Globe | join early access @globemkts is building a social trading app on ATLAS, with perps across crypto, stocks and commodities. - group trading feeds, copy features and voice-generated orders are part of the announced product. - early signups before november 30 receive Founding Trader status. - access is planned to open gradually after launch. globemarkets.xyz i’d join to follow the rollout and understand the product. Founding Trader status doesn’t establish a token allocation. 3. Based | watch the ATLAS rollout @BasedOneX reported 45K+ active addresses and $50B+ lifetime Hyperliquid volume in its november 5 announcement. - ATLAS trading is planned for its mobile app and web terminal from launch. - that gives Zero a potential route to an existing trader base. - i’d watch the actual markets, liquidity and execution once the integration opens. that existing distribution is one of the more interesting parts of this launch. 4. the wider watchlist - @GTE_XYZ has announced plans to give traders access to ATLAS and has a waitlist. - @000dotfun is a token launchpad whose website is still marked pre-launch. - @z30index describes itself as a 30-stock dividend protocol for Zero. public information is still limited. - @tradeon21x completed a private Zero pilot recording 10,000 order matches per second. useful technical evidence, but a different kind of participation opportunity from a public testnet. 5. where ZRO fits ZRO is intended for Zero’s gas, staking and governance. under the published Open ATLAS model: - venues receive 20–65% fee rebates. - 75% of the fees remaining after those rebates funds ZRO buybacks and burns. - that equals 26.25–60% of gross fees, depending on the venue’s rebate tier. i’ll be watching actual fee generation and the rebate mix after launch. my starting point would be Tzero’s testnet and Globe’s early access, then checking Based and GTE as their ATLAS routes become available. these announcements don’t confirm a new ZRO airdrop. which Zero app are you looking at first?

stocks just met memecoins. launch a token priced in $TSLA, live on solana mainnet. corine forge: → quote your launch in tokenized stocks (TSLAx, NVDAx, SPYx…) → anti-snipe fee that melts 50% → 1% → graduates into a compounding meteora pool → conviction pool: supply locked onchain in a sell ladder every tx simulated against mainnet before you sign. launch it. lock it. corine.xyz/forge

Futures without liquidation are live. Long or short with leverage, like a perp, with no liquidation line. A wick can't close your trade. You close it when you want, or it settles on the expiry you choose. Next week: a trading battle on it. $2,000 prize pool.

Alright, chat, time to address sensitive questions before y’all start guessing 1⃣Wait , are you guys an AI company now? No. MEGA is a crypto-native company, and proudly so. Inference is the market we are entering, but the way we win it is through crypto technology and ideology. There’s an artificial wall in crypto people’s minds about AI. It seems that if you are solving AI’s problem, you are betraying crypto. We reject that artificial boundary. Inference is going to be the largest market in the world, and we believe crypto’s core tools are the best answer to AI’s biggest ones: fairness and access. 2⃣Okay, fine, explain to me why a crypto infra company is capable of solving AI Inference Building MegaETH taught us something bigger than blockchains: across the largest markets, there are prevailing assumptions that lead end users to pay more than they should. Blockspace was one of those markets. We are system researchers/engineers from Stanford Platform Lab, MIT CSAIL, and Harvard SEAS. We enjoy pushing markets toward their end state, and did it once with blockspace by breaking the norm and running a powerful centralized sequencer. Today, no one, literally no one, mentions decentralized sequencers anymore. We were able to come in, measure where the waste was, find that the limit was a design choice, and engineer past it (very much against the “consensus”). Over the summer, when we shipped Mega, the chain, we lifted our eyes and looked for the next ambitious problem set worth solving. We discovered, delightfully, that blockchain and cryptography can be applied to solve inefficiency in the rapidly growing inference market We realized that staying a chain-only company felt wrong and would have meant ignoring the biggest opportunity in front of us. Therefore, we decided to expand our mission and restructure to match it. 3⃣ Final question, what’s launching in December? We are launching a globally competitive inference market to the public in Dec 2026.
Today, we commit $30 million to build new products on MegaETH, starting with AI inference. mega.holdings

Thank you for five extraordinary years. We spent the first five years building the foundation for a new global financial system. The next five will be about bringing that vision to billions worldwide. The best days for Injective are yet to come. Lock $inJ

INJ is on Nasdaq. $INJC, the first US ETF for $INJ, went live Thursday with staking built in, and on Friday we rang the Nasdaq opening bell alongside @CanaryFunds. Days earlier, we opened a dedicated rail for banks and enterprises to plug straight into Injective block production. Wall Street met Injective this week. Here are the top developments from a historic few days ⤵️ 🟪 Your brokerage account can now hold $INJ through $INJC on @NasdaqExchange, an ETF that aims to stake up to 90% of its INJ and restakes net rewards automatically. 🟪 Banks and enterprises get a direct line into Injective block production with Institutional Rail, which delivers next block inclusion and instant finality and is already in production with select financial institutions. 🟪 Bloomberg Terminals now carry $INJC, putting the first US listed $INJ ETF in front of the institutions, banks, and hedge funds that use them every day. 🟪 LG CNS is joining our Bangkok Hacker House after completing a trade finance PoC on Injective with POSCO International, and applications close November 10. 📊 Key Stats 🟪 Injective has processed 3B+ transactions, carries over $1 billion in tokenized assets, and has run over 7.2 million $INJ in buybacks funded by onchain revenue. 🟪 Users traded $416 million over 7 days across Injective exchange dApps, lifting cumulative volume to $85.1 billion. 🌐 Ecosystem News 🟪 The Cosmos Hub voted on November 3 to move 566,067 USDC from its community pool into Circle’s native USDC on Injective. 🟪 Luxury mystery box app @MistBoxpro launched on Injective and logged 17,139 new signups, 8,333 boxes opened, across November 4 and 5. 🟪 October was month one for @runupdotfun, and it closed with 1,096 token launches and $2.3M in volume. 🟪 Trade $AAPL, $NVDA, $TSLA, $SPY, and 600+ more tokenized US stocks and ETFs on Injective through @ChoiceXchange, powered by Swimmer Finance. 🟪 Tokenized fund market cap on Injective has grown by $206.3M so far in 2026, according to @RWAFoundation_ using Token Terminal data. What started in a dorm room in 2018 just opened the market on Wall Street. Hacker House applications close November 10, so come build the next chapter with us.

Raeto now integrates @priors_trade $PRIORS is the credit layer for AI agents: it lends agents USDG, backed by people who put real money behind them, and turns every repayment into a public, on-chain record. $RAETO is the account layer for agentic finance: where an agent holds its money, spends it on AI and tools, and pays and gets paid. Bring the layers together: an agent can borrow on Priors, put it to work on Raeto, get paid, repay, and build its record. And every agent on Raeto can check that record before it pays anyone. Credit to get started. An account to run on.

#Hyperliquid has billions sitting inside its ecosystem, and I've been looking into HyperEVM DeFi lately, especially lending, LSTs and CDPs. – $8.9B in bridged assets – $6.68B in stablecoins, ~99% USDC – $2.65B in DeFi TVL, barely up 0.9% over 30d These numbers overlap, so it's not $18B of separate liquidity. But there's a massive capital base here, and only part of it is being put to work across DeFi. Makes me wonder if the next leg of HyperEVM growth comes less from attracting fresh money and more from making existing capital work harder. Been breaking it down into a few areas. 1/ Lending – @hyperlendx leads with $346.5M TVL – @Morpho Blue follows at $139.5M – @HypurrFi is still tiny at $5.65M Nearly half a billion between the two biggest lending markets, but HyperLend is pulling only ~$2.5k/day in reported revenue. That's a pretty thin business for that much capital sitting there, and makes me question how much of those deposits are actually supporting borrow demand. TVL can look fat while utilization and real interest are struggling to catch up. Especially when native $HYPE staking already pays ~2.2%, so why take extra protocol risk unless the yield or farming upside makes sense? 2/ LSTs – 118.1M $HYPE is staked, ~46.5% of supply, earning ~2.23% APY. – @Kinetiq_xyz has grown to ~$1B TVL, putting it way ahead of other LST players. Kinetiq is sitting on a massive lead, and the edge is what users can actually do with the LST afterward. You can hold kHYPE, keep earning staking rewards, then use it as collateral to borrow stables or deploy it into other DeFi strategies. That's a pretty powerful position for kinetiq:native if kHYPE keeps becoming the collateral everyone wants to integrate. But there's a tradeoff too. If one LST becomes the backbone of too many lending positions, a problem there could spill across the whole ecosystem. 3/ CDPs @felixprotocol has $54.3M TVL with only ~$215/day in reported revenue. Pretty small next to the LST and lending markets, but I think the mechanics have big potential. Borrowing against $HYPE without selling it makes sense for holders who want liquidity while keeping their bags. The catch is that $6.68B in ecosystem stablecoins doesn't mean $6.68B in native DeFi credit. Most of that supply is USDC, while CDPs are still relatively small. So the opportunity depends on whether protocols like Felix can build actual demand for borrowed dollars, rather than just another loop where ppl borrow stables to farm more points. I wouldn't assume Hyperliquid is bleeding capital just because DeFi TVL isn't making new highs. A lot of the capital is spread across HyperCore collateral, native staking, LSTs, lending and CDPs, with assets getting wrapped and reused along the way. But without complete flow data, it's hard to separate genuine new deposits from internal rotation or capital leaving. Hyperliquid is generating ~$1.35M/day in app revenue, while most of its lending and CDP protocols are still making peanuts relative to their TVL. The trading business is proven. The DeFi credit economy still has a lot to prove.
