About 0.05U, the increase since December 7 has exceeded 247%, directly doubling; on December 9, it surged by 55% in a single day.
Binance frequently appears on the increase rankings, with contract trading volume ranking 19th, just behind $SUI, and funds are already flowing in.
First, let's look at the chip situation:
Binance's contract scale can now compete with top public chains. KuCoin has just launched contracts. Selected as one of the first projects for Chainlink Rewards Season 1. Cointelegraph's research report names it. Binance Research starts to focus on the FHE technology direction.
Looking at the narrative: FHE (Fully Homomorphic Encryption) + AI.
This is the privacy direction that Vitalik has mentioned several times, belonging to the 'next round of infrastructure-level' items.
The next round of the buidlpad new investment mmt has finally reached level 8 Brushing transactions is of no use, just a deposit of 6500u is enough It's still not too late to join now, the last round had a 15x big gain with falcon
Why is node election a super benefit? Real revenue-driven staking APRO is a To B oracle with real business revenue. If node staking is initiated, the earnings will come from actual business profits rather than mere inflation printing. This means that node earnings possess extremely high sustainability, and institutions and VCs are eager to participate. Circulation tightening engine Once the election is initiated Large holders/VCs lock up: To qualify for node status, long-term staking is required. Market buying: Large holders wishing to participate must purchase from the secondary market. Result: Sharp decrease in circulating supply + increased buying = Coin price skyrocketing. The flywheel effect has formed: APRO has actively locked up in the Pancake pool for 12 months, demonstrating tremendous ambition. Now, combined with the node plan, this closed-loop logic of "circulation tightening - coin price increase - staking enhancement" once operational, the current market value is completely underestimated. Don't forget, the end of the oracle track is the vast sea of stars. Currently, it's Binance spot trading, the next step is node lock-up, and the following step could be a violent surge in the Korean market. Not all oracles are APRO. This time, don't be that bystander who misses out.
This exit is different from the version circulated two months ago; it should be a real exit 😔. The alpha and new listings that started in April 2025 have been popular for over half a year, and things have changed. If you caught it, you caught it; if you missed it, you missed it! Personally, I am overall profitable, but later players have almost no profit, mainly for the following reasons:
1️⃣ New tech players have already mastered this gameplay and changing strategies. It is very difficult for ordinary players to compete with them. As long as alpha exists, these players will not give up!
2️⃣ The life of a coin from launch to obscurity can be basically defined in just 30 minutes. Ordinary players have already given up on the belief of holding on! If there is, it does not belong to you!
3️⃣ The uncertainty of the market, and the large army primarily focused on extracting profits, means that actual retail investors do not buy it. Most projects' conversion rates do not meet the expectations of project parties, leading to stagnation, and there is no hope for a price rise. In that case, it’s better to cut losses decisively!
4️⃣ Compared to the traditional way of extracting profits, Binance alpha is undoubtedly the most successful, simplifying the cumbersome steps of extracting profits in one go 😊. No need to look at the project party's face and various restrictions and counter-extraction; just follow the requirements to earn profits, it’s just a matter of how much! So, what you look down on as 10U or 20U will naturally be valued by others; there’s no reason to roll back.
5️⃣ Lastly, keep your passion and learning; opportunities arise at any time. Even without alpha, there will be other opportunities 😊.
When Your Trading No Longer Requires "Faith": An Injective Perspective from a Former Traditional Trader
Last winter, I was staring at the order confirmation interface on the trading platform, watching that $2000 transaction fee, suddenly realizing: in the traditional financial world, we are not trading, but paying a "faith tax" to the system.
I once worked as a derivatives trader at an investment bank, handling millions of dollars in orders every day. We were taught to trust this system: trust that custodial banks wouldn't misappropriate client assets, trust that clearinghouses would settle on time, trust that brokers would execute orders faithfully. These "trusts" ultimately turned into lines of fees on the client's bill.

When a public chain starts to speak 'human language': My view of Injective
At one moment, I suddenly realized that I was no longer 'doing things on the blockchain,' but rather letting the 'blockchain do things for me.'
This turning point happened after I seriously used Injective for a while.
In the past, I wrote contracts, deployed protocols, and did some quantitative strategies, always feeling like I was working for a temperamental machine:
Why is gas so expensive? Why is the queue blocked again? Clearly, I am writing a financial application, yet all my time is spent outsmarting the underlying infrastructure.
When 'deposit interest' loses its imagination, Lorenzo rewrites a financial story on-chain.
When 'deposit interest' loses its imagination, Lorenzo rewrites a financial story on-chain.
If you're used to tossing money into the bank and then looking at those few digits of interest once a year, the Lorenzo Protocol might seem a bit 'counterintuitive.'
It's not about recreating a high-risk DeFi paradise, but rather asking a simple yet long-overlooked question:
In the Web3 era, is there a way for ordinary people to access institutional-level asset management capabilities?
The answer given by Lorenzo is a design that looks quite 'quiet':
From 'grinding tool person' to ecological co-builder: YGG Play Launchpad is quietly rewriting player identity
If you still equate Web3 games to 'spending a lot of money to buy an NFT and then grinding every day to break even,' then YGG's recent move is indeed worth a second look.
The YGG Play Launchpad launched by Yield Guild Games is already online.
This time, it's not asking: 'Are you willing to come and grind for gold?'
Instead, it feels more like saying: 'Do you want to experience the next batch of Web3 games in advance and also take away some new game tokens?'
My 'Invisible Fund Manager': When Lorenzo stuffed institutional-level finance into a token
My 'Invisible Fund Manager': When Lorenzo stuffed institutional-level finance into a token
In an era where an annualized 3% is called 'high interest', there are few things that can still make me excited about the words 'yield'. Until I seriously researched the Lorenzo Protocol—it's not like the next 'get rich story', but rather quietly moved the institutional gameplay behind the bank vault onto the chain, packed into a token that anyone can buy.
If Bitcoin ignited the spark of 'sovereignty lies with me', then what Lorenzo did is answer the next question:

Institutional-level returns, civilian-level experience: How Lorenzo redefines on-chain wealth
It was an ordinary weekday evening, and I was staring at the stablecoins quietly lying in my wallet, pondering the same question: Why can't these digital assets generate continuous, reliable, and predictable returns like traditional bank accounts? I had tried various DeFi protocols, but the complex interaction interfaces, dazzling APY numbers, and ever-changing strategies left me exhausted. It wasn't until that day when I stumbled upon Lorenzo Protocol that I realized on-chain returns could be so simple and elegant.

When 'financial democratization' turns from a slogan into code: my derivatives experiment on Injective
When 'financial democratization' turns from a slogan into code: my derivatives experiment on Injective
At two o'clock in the morning, I stared at Elon Musk's latest tweet about AI on Twitter, and suddenly a thought exploded in my mind: why hasn't anyone created derivatives for 'Musk concept stocks'? In traditional finance, this is almost a fantasy, but in Injective's documentation, this crazy idea seems to have the possibility of becoming a reality.
01 A programmer's 'financial rebellion': 24 hours from 0 to 1
At ten o'clock on Sunday, when I opened the Injective documentation, I felt anxious—being a pure coder, financial terminology seemed like a foreign language. But the design of Injective's documentation is truly textbook.
When 'grinding' turns into 'treasure hunting': rediscovering the joy of gaming at YGG Play Launchpad
When 'grinding' turns into 'treasure hunting': rediscovering the joy of gaming at YGG Play Launchpad
Once upon a time, the impression that Web3 games gave me was only two extremes: either a boring 'click to earn' simulator or a 'noble game' that was ridiculously high in entry barriers. We always stared at K-line charts, but forgot the anticipation of pressing the 'Start' button.
But with the official launch of YGG Play Launchpad, I feel that this situation is being broken. This time, YGG is no longer just a guild that issues scholarships; it has become a huge treasure map.
Conquering the New World: When YGG Play Launchpad Hands the Game Map to Players
Last Wednesday, when I opened the YGG Play Launchpad, I thought I would see another regular game list—click, play a few tasks, earn some tokens, and leave. But this platform gave me a completely different experience: it was not like a "task-giving boss", but like an old friend handing me a treasure map, saying: "These places are worth exploring, but how to get there is up to you."
Web3 games have gone through a difficult period. We have seen too many projects: flashy NFT avatars, hollow gameplay, and the promise of "play-to-earn" that traps players in endless repetitive labor. Gradually, the community began to question: can blockchain games only be a shell for financial products?
According to community news, Binance has recently implemented systematic bans on studios and script accounts that illegally obtained Alpha airdrop rewards by manipulating device time and other means.
This crackdown has a wide scope; even if the related accounts have withdrawn and left the platform, they are still traced, frozen, and required to return their profits. In addition, any associated accounts with records on the capital flow chain have also been continuously frozen and can only be unblocked after repaying the amounts.
At three in the morning, I stared at the flashing 'Task Completed' prompt on the screen, my finger hovering over the mouse, hesitating to click confirm—this was not due to fatigue, but a sudden realization: I had just spent three hours grinding for a game that hasn’t even launched yet, without checking the token price even once.
This is too unusual.
After struggling in Web3 games for these years, I have long since gotten used to breaking down 'Play-to-Earn' into 'Work-to-Survive'. It wasn't until YGG Play Launchpad officially launched that I encountered a long-lost experience: the game finally returned to 'game' first, then talked about 'value'.
When Financial Innovation Moves from Wall Street to Weekend Afternoons: How Injective Empowers Ordinary People to Become 'Financial Product Designers'
On that Saturday night, I was staring at Musk's tweets about artificial intelligence when a crazy idea suddenly came to me: **Why can't we create a derivative that tracks 'Musk concept stocks'?** In the traditional financial world, this would require layers of approvals from investment banks, law firms, and exchanges, taking months. But on Injective, this idea went from inspiration to reality in less than 24 hours.
1. The LEGO Moment of Financial Democratization
At ten o'clock on Sunday morning, I opened the Injective documentation. As a programmer, I had never dealt with financial derivative design, but the Injective documentation was like a LEGO instruction manual—breaking down complex financial modules into modular components.
