Hello everyone, I am Sour Jujube.


On-chain lending has always been discussing:


Liquidation risk
Utilization rate
Interest rate model
Asset security
Parameter selection


But no one has discussed a deeper variable:



Time Risk is the ultimate challenge of lending agreements.


What is time risk?


That is:


The value difference between the borrower and the collateral will change over time.


As long as the time is long enough, the risk is bound to occur.


Morpho is the only protocol that breaks down time risk.



① Traditional lending has no concept of time, only the concept of price.


The pool logic is:


Price hits the line → Liquidation.

This sentence may surprise people:


The strongest L2 in the future must be the one that is 'the slowest to change'.

Why?


Because for developers:


Unchanged = Predictable


Predictable = Dare to be Long-term
Dare to be Long-term = Ecological Stability
Linea is the kind of L2 that is 'slow to evolve, structurally stable'.



And this kind of structure, on the contrary, gives it strong future competitiveness.


① Technology changes quickly, ecological changes should be slow



ZK technology updates quickly,


EVM tools update quickly,

Scalability solutions update quickly.

Developers can adapt to technological changes,


but cannot adapt to ecological changes.

Ecological changes include:

Today I want to talk about YGG from a more human perspective.


You observe any game, whether Web2 or Web3,

The players who truly remain have a common feature:



They feel 'seen' in the game.


Seen by the system

Seen by the tasks

Seen by teammates

Seen by the community

Seen by gaming history


This is the player’s sense of presence.

And the sense of presence retains players more than rewards.


YGG is building this system.



① Badge is a 'formal acknowledgment' of player behavior


When players complete tasks

When players invest time

When players participate in new games

When players complete stage growth

I have always felt that on-chain market-making is a seriously undervalued track.

Everyone is looking at 'AMM depth', 'perpetual trading volume',

but ignoring a key trend:



On-chain market-making activities will gradually shift from 'subsidy-driven' to 'efficiency-driven'.
Injective is the first chain truly suitable for 'efficiency-driven market-making'.



① AMM market-making is subsidy-based market-making, not efficiency-based market-making


The liquidity of AMM comes from:


High subsidy
Fee rebate
Short-term TVL
Speculative volatility



None of these are market-making.


True market-making is:


Narrow the buy-sell spread to the smallest

Many people fall into two misconceptions when discussing the stablecoin ecosystem:


Misconception 1: Stablecoins equal payments


Misconception 2: Stablecoins equal cheap transfers

None of them are correct.


The true core value of stablecoins is:


To become the settlement standard for global cash flow.



But the question is:


Global cash flow requires a 'unified, predictable, and replicable' clearing path.

However, most chains have not achieved this.

XPL is one of the few chains designed based on 'clearing logic'.


① Most public chains lack 'clearing logic', only having 'execution logic'



Clearing logic requirements:

The lending market used to be 'put in → wait for interest rate → automatic borrowing.'


But the future won't be like this.

The future of lending will be:


Give me the pool that best matches my risk/return preferences.


Predictable liquidation paths
Interest rates automatically adjusted according to strategies
Collateral re-evaluated in real-time
Borrowers and lenders matched intelligently
Risk isolated by asset characteristics
What Morpho is doing is precisely the prototype of this future structure.


Lending has never been 'the bigger the pool, the better,' but rather 'the more refined the structure, the better.'


Morpho has accelerated this trend by a few years.


What do you think lending will evolve into in the future? Like CEX? Like a bank? Or a completely new structure?

When everyone analyzes Morpho, they are looking at:
Matching efficiency


Interest rate
Risk pool
Liquidation mechanism
But I think its real ultimate task is —



to become a producer of on-chain credit.

① Collateral is not credit, and liquidation mechanisms are not credit



True credit is:


“The risk relationship between the borrower and the collateral asset is quantified, verifiable, and separable”


The credit of traditional finance is:


Risk level




Borrower history
Risk exposure
Asset correlation
Morpho is bringing these on-chain.




② Morpho Blue turns the risk pool into a “source of credit”



Traditional lending:

I want to present a more macro perspective:


The future Ethereum ecosystem will not win by 'scaling', but by 'governance pipeline'.



What does it mean?


In simple terms, it means:


All L2s will become more like 'governance-type sub-cities'.

And Linea is currently the closest L2 to this model.

① Technology will converge, but governance will not converge



In the future, there will not be:


Who has a higher TPS


Who has a lower Gas
Who provides more incentives
These can all be imitated.


But governance cannot be replicated.


Governance includes:


Distribution of power


Composition of participants
Decision-making mechanism
Consensus formation method
Proposal approval mechanism

If you understand XPL as a chain, you are underestimating it.
I am increasingly convinced that:


XPL is more like the 'operating system for stablecoins (Stablecoin OS)'.

You won't think about 'how many TPS Android runs' on your phone,


You will only care about:

Stable or not


No lag
Is the experience good
Is the access unified
Is the cost controllable
This is OS.



XPL is building the OS for the stablecoin world.


① Stablecoins are not assets, but rather 'application layer infrastructure'



How to use stablecoins?


Wallet


Payment
Top-up
Cross-border
Merchant
Platform settlement
B2B cash flow
None of this happens on-chain,

I want to tell an overlooked truth:

Players leave Web3 games not because they can't make money, but because 'growth cannot be accumulated.'



Web2 players stay because the 'growth curve' is very clear:
Level → Equipment → Skills → Social → Records → Honor → Further growth


Web3 games used to have only:


Tasks → Rewards → Use and leave.


No growth, no path, no accumulation.


YGG Play precisely fills this major gap.


① Badge is a 'growth asset', not a task loot.



Badge is an irrefutable, non-transferable, and non-scriptable proof of behavior.

Hello everyone, I am sour tamarind.
The real core of on-chain trading is not price, but volatility.


Whoever masters volatility, masters:


Derivatives pricing


Arbitrage space
Clearing mechanism
Risk boundary
Yield of structured products
CEX occupies the volatility center due to price depth and stable structure,



There has never been this position on-chain.

Injective is becoming the first chain capable of doing this.


① INJ is the first chain with 'cross-chain volatility aggregation capability'



Injective's order book + multi-chain connection allows it to aggregate:


ETH's volatility

SOL's volatility

I have observed L2 for many years and have seen for the first time an ecology that attracts developers not through airdrops, but through 'governance structure + product stability'.


Linea's ecology has become very stable because it gives developers a very clear expectation:


Governance will not be hijacked by whales
The ecological direction will not be chaotic
The cost of protocol migration is low
zk proof enhances security
Developers can truly influence the direction


This 'governance friendliness' is the most attractive thing for developers.


Imagine, as a developer, which one would you choose:


A. A cheap but chaotic governance L2

B. A slightly more expensive but clean governance and transparent ecological L2

XPL: The future of payment competition is not speed, but 'stability and certainty'


I have always felt that the mainstream public chain's pursuit of TPS is misguided.


Payments are not about speed, but about 'certainty'.


Every transaction must be successful
The confirmation time for each transaction must be consistent
There should be no fluctuations during peak periods
Costs must not fluctuate
Delays must not vary



This is the true requirement of payments.


XPL's light execution + fast confirmation + stable path creates a 'certainty network'.


When stablecoins run in the real world, users don't care about your TPS; they only care about:

The biggest problem with Web3 games is not attracting people, but retaining them.

Short-term incentives attract traffic, but content does not retain users.


Quest Economy solves this problem.

Its logic is:


Time → Task
Task → Behavior Data
Behavior Data → Game Growth
Game Growth → Long-term Player Incentives
Incentives → New Player Retention


This is a 'participation-driven' structure, not a 'subsidy-driven' one.


YGG is positioned at the most critical point in this structure:

It has become the foundational protocol for the task economy.


In the future, when you open any fun Web3 game, the underlying task system is likely to be YGG Play.

The biggest potential of Injective is not performance, but its possibility of becoming the main execution layer for cross-chain asset flow in the future.


Cross-chain will not rely solely on bridges, nor will it rely only on multi-chain wallets.

The future of cross-chain must be:



Assets from Chain A → Demand from Chain B → Execution by Injective → Unified settlement across multiple chains
Why should execution be on Injective?

Because:

It's fast
It's stable
It's low cost
It has an order book
It is a naturally financial chain
It can connect multi-chain assets
It can attract the strongest derivatives ecosystem



No one is using the term 'cross-chain execution layer' yet, but Injective has already moved in this direction.

Today I want to talk about INJ from another perspective:

Cross-chain liquidity and trading infrastructure.


Because I have always believed that the true value of Injective is not in a single chain, but in serving as the 'central control room for asset flow' in a multi-chain world.



1. In the era of multi-chain liquidity, a 'unified execution layer' is needed.


The current multi-chain world has three pain points:


Asset decentralization
Liquidity fragmentation
Poor trading experience



Cross-chain bridges, aggregators, and light clients are all solving different layers of problems, but no one can achieve a unified, fast, and secure 'on-chain trading experience' in a cross-chain environment.

When writing about XPL, I always try to place myself in a broader perspective—not looking from the price, not from the narrative, but from the angle of 'future global monetary infrastructure'.


Because the explosion of stablecoins in the next five years is completely certain.

The question about XPL is not 'Will it succeed?', but 'When will it be widely used?'.



1. Stablecoins are not a track; they are the future 'internet currency layer'.


Today you can casually ask a friend outside of Web3:

Do you know about cryptocurrencies?

There's a 90% chance they will say: Yes.

Unlike what I wrote about YGG Play yesterday, today I want to discuss YGG itself from a more macro perspective. Because I believe its positioning in the future Web3 gaming industry may surpass the term 'guild.'


YGG's vision is not to be a guild that 'organizes players,' but to become an engine layer that connects users, tasks, games, and ecosystems. This is scarce and necessary in the Web3 gaming industry.



1. What Web3 games truly lack is an 'entry point.'


I used to work in risk control operations, and I am particularly clear about one thing:

New users don't know where to start playing Web3 games.
