"60% of crypto users earn zero yield because everything is too complicated. Bridges gas signatures people just give up. @SolidYield kills all that friction. You earn yield automatically in top DeFi strategies and you can spend it anywhere with a Visa card. It's like Revolut but pays you XX more and doesnt hold your funds in custody. With the Points Program launching soon early users get X multipliers and a X% deposit bonus basically getting paid just for being early"

"Most assets stay idle which is a waste when it could be working for you. @Sagaxyz__ is quickly becoming THE DeFi place. You can deposit BTC ETH or ATOM into Mustang use them as collateral and mint stablecoins like $MUST or $D. You keep full exposure to your assets while also unlocking liquid capital to earn extra yield in lending or farming strategies. This is what traditional markets call a carry trade borrowing low earning high fully onchain. What makes Saga special is that it bridges worlds that other chains still keep separate multichain liquidity stable yields and true capital"

"Think of Bitcoin as a huge ultra-secure gold vault and @ArchNtwrk as a layer of smart robots and accountants that work in front of that vault. Old systems often told you: Send your gold to our smaller vault well give you a paper IOU and youll trade that. Arch does the opposite your gold (BTC) stays in the main vault (Bitcoin L1). Arch just organizes who should move which bar to which box inside the same vault and then writes that movement as a normal Bitcoin transaction. Lets break down how that works in simple terms. X. What Arch adds on top of Bitcoin Bitcoin is like a vault that only"

"The market may be bleeding but good teams are still building and innovating in DeFi. @ltvprotocol is pushing leveraged staking with $14M+ leveraged TVL curatorless automation and a wstETH/ETH x12 vault running entirely without human intervention. They're starting to prove that high-leverage ETH yield can be managed safely transparently and privately while scaling. Deposits will soon be open for XX NFT holders waiting for the fully permissionless vault to get in. It should be the next phase"

"They lied to us saying DEX efficiency comes from deep liquidity we can prove this is false now. @humidifi processes $1.1B in daily volume on @solana with only $10M TVL making them the #1 DEX by volume ahead of giants like @Uniswap and @PancakeSwap. It's not a traditional DEX. It runs a dark AMM model with a single market maker no public pools and no user-provided liquidity. Execution is completely hidden from traders which makes the system far more efficient. They currently capture XX% of all Solana DEX volume which puts them far above every other DEX on Solana. Pros: No MEV because execution"

"The adults have entered the room for $HYPE. Paradigm one of the most respected VCs just massively staked 14.7M HYPE valued at approximately $XXX million. Here is why you need to pay attention: 1/ They control roughly XXXX million HYPE worth over $XXX million. To put that into perspective this single entity holds nearly XXX% of the total supply and over XXX% of the circulating supply. While retail investors are distracted by volatility smart money is securing a significant percentage of the protocol's infrastructure. 2/ The game has evolved beyond simple token purchases.

"Is $USDT at risk of insolvency This post by @CryptoHayes raises concerns about an insolvency risk for USDT. Since its the largest asset in my portfolio I had to take this seriously and dig deeper. Tether is by far the biggest stablecoin with $185B in circulating supply. If Tether collapses the entire crypto ecosystem collapses with it. How does @Tether_to work When someone wants to buy USDT they send fiat to Tether and Tether mints the equivalent amount of USDT. When someone wants to redeem fiat they send their USDT back to Tether which burns the tokens. To judge solvency we must compare"

"One of the only things truly worth paying attention to right now given the social and economic context is RWA. Humans will always need food housing energy etc. This is the best time to learn about RWA as it will inevitably bring trillions on-chain.

"The first step is bridging assets to SAGA. You can use @squidrouter for that: 1/ Select the chain you want to bridge funds from 2/ Choose SAGA mainnet as the receiving chain 3/ Enter the amount 4/ Confirm 5/ Its the fastest and safest bridge option available"

"You can also earn directly with $MUST by depositing MUST and receiving rewards in MUST and other assets like wETH tBTC SAGA etc. If you dont want to borrow MUST you can simply swap it on @okutrade.

"This is a good move for institutional adoption. $mETH being usable as collateral on platforms like @Bybit_Official while maintaining strong self-custody security in one single workflow removes one of the biggest operational frictions for large players. @FireblocksHQ already secures trillions so it pushes mETH directly into institutional workflows. And lets be honest institutions are the ones driving this cycle. This is exactly the kind of infra they need to scale exposure safely"
