Last month I am thinking about selling my AAVE after 2 roundtrips and after more than 6 years for the 1st time ever. I used to be biggest local Aave shiller after seeing UI and protocol overhaul in Dec 2019. Pushed lower tens of m $ to buy AAVE over years.
Blog from @Marczeller about “efficiency” of A. Labs made me almost physical discomfort esp. after their proposal to get every year 50m $ while the app is still not live after Buenos Aires. RWA market - Horizon is relatively less successful than our “rwa” market on @hydration_net considering costs and incentives spent on both and where are they placed,lol.
I can stay as happy user of Aave v3.+ but token might be 1 of biggest tragedy and fail in history of DeFi and whole crypto while it looked like absolute king in 2024 & 2025 and great example of how to do DAO, token, DeFi, etc.
All people who executed well and contributed heavily to build this dominant giant are effectively out. Also v4 didn’t get much excitement, yet.

I hope they let me leak a bunch here. Things are really coming together.

There are people from Curve, who are
impressed by us. Their last interaction with Polkadot was dumping dot from some crowdloan on hydration (and still happy about it). Most ridiculuously advising me just to end bc they see me too much in stress while I am clearly pushing hard. Imagine hearing from your token holder he advised you to dump or leave bc he understands we couldnt do more and he is totally ok w it. I am thinking about this convo often. And we are still punching above our weight.
That used to be me to sparing with actual national champions or fucking killers - people who killed with fist other people.
You are making it unnecessary harder than them while we created bigger value than you know. Absolutely wild.

Had a conversation with a Curve guy today and he said 5m DOT incentives for Hydration would be a huge boost to the ecosystem

What is gigaDOT? It’s the most efficient DOT position you can hold. It's a yield-optimized DOT derivative from @hydration_net on Polkadot. Why does this matter?
Because gigaDOT turns your passive DOT into a liquid, multi-yield beast.
CEXs give you 0.5–3% yield.
🧠gigaDOT targets 18–25% APY by stacking:
- Relay Chain Rewards (14% base yield)
- Liquid Staking Derivatives (like vDOT)
- DEX Trading Fees & Incentives on Hydration
All automated. All composable.
You can use it, swap it, or exit anytime.
No lockups, no centralized risk.
🧠gigaDOT is built for yield-maxi DeFi users.
what happens when you mint gigaDOT?:
✅ Your DOT gets staked for relay chain rewards (~14%)
✅ A portion enters liquid staking (vDOT)
✅ Some get routed to Hydration DEX for trading incentives
🧠3 yield streams - 1 token - gigaDOT
But it’s not just about numbers. Let’s talk ownership.
When your DOT is on a CEX, you don’t control it, you can’t use it elsewhere. You’re trusting middlemen...
With gigaDOT, you stay in control. gigaDOT is:
✅ Non-custodial
✅ Fully on-chain
✅ Liquid and composable
✅ Native to Polkadot
No waiting for unbonding. No centralized lock-ins.
gigaDOT is the closest thing to an “all-weather” DOT yield position.
- Fully liquid
- Optimized across 3 yield engines
- Built for DeFi-native growth
- Powered by Hydration, Polkadot’s top DeFi protocol.
This is how DOT should work in 2025.

I love how @hydration_net has been growing over the last couple years.

TVL growing even in bear market after collapse of eth, dot (which is our most common asset on platform) and other alts by 50%-70% in last 3 months is nothing less than giga bullish.

@veryHighLander @Overtime_io @arbitrum To reach a larger audience... But I understand the technical challenges.
English
@0xToit @Overtime_io @arbitrum Why?:) i wouldnt know where to start tbh, our code is very complex and fully built using Ethereum smart contracts ans principles.
English
With full AA release on @Overtime_io we set out to sponsor all gas costs for our users ourselves, to fully obfuscate any web3 complexities, but @arbitrum is making it impossible to do so with crazy gas spikes.
A simple bet on Arbitrum is currently estimated at $10! Thats on par with L1!
The same transaction would be but a few cents on @Optimism and @base.
Of course, we didnt get any help co-sponsoring these gas costs when we asked...

Let this sink in for a second:
You can buy $ETH today at the same price people were willing to pay back in 2017.
Back then, Ethereum was nothing more than an ICO platform.
Barely scalable.
Barely secure.
Just a dream.
Today - after 8 years of progress - with market uncertainty at its peak and Ethereum going through its own identity crisis, you can still buy $ETH at the same levels as in 2017.
Let’s quickly recap just some of the progress we had in the meantime:
- The Merge: Ethereum transitioned to Proof of Stake, slashing energy use by 99% and making the network more secure and sustainable.
- The Layer 2 Boom: Ethereum scaled modularly, with ecosystems like @base, @arbitrum, @Optimism, and more locking tens of billions in TVL.
- EIP-1559: A fee burn mechanism was introduced, giving $ETH the real potential to become a deflationary asset over time.
- DeFi Revolution: Founders like @haydenzadams, @kaiynne, and @StaniKulechov turned on-chain finance into a multibillion-dollar reality.
- NFT Explosion: Digital art, brand engagement, and digital ownership fundamentally changed forever - all starting on Ethereum.
- Institutional Adoption: The biggest asset managers in the world filed for ETH ETFs, and firms like Blackrock are building on Ethereum to bring Real World Assets (RWAs) on-chain - a multi-trillion dollar opportunity.
- Developer Growth: The EVM developer ecosystem grew from ~2,000 in 2018 to over 20,000 today.
That's just scratching the surface. I could probably go on forever but I think the message should be clear:
Even if it often gets taken for granted -even if the behavior of the Ethereum Foundation can be criticized - the amount of real progress in Ethereumland over the last decade is remarkable.
The fact that you can still buy $ETH at 2017 levels?
It’s either the market’s greatest joke - or its greatest opportunity.
One thing is clear though:
Back then, Ethereum was a fragile smart contract platform for ICOs.
Today, it’s the world's leading decentralized settlement layer and nothing will change about that.
$ETH at these levels is criminal.

I am so happy with @VALRdotcom 🍻
They are supporting more and more chains. Have very little need for cross chain bridges any more.
Hope they are looking into implementing @Optimism as well as @Polkadot in the future.

The number will grow a lot once they open up to non-stakers!

BREAKING NEWS: Hydration will be launching 2 new tokens
gigaDOT - DOT on steroids which combines yield from vDOT, aDOT, and incentives; Can be borrowed against
HOLLAR - a decentralised, overcollateralised stablecoin that is native to Hydration and Polkadot
Soon

🚨 GIGA NEWS incoming 🚨
Hydrated Jakub (🐍,🐍)@GregusJakub
6bn+ $ of liquidity and economic throughput of DOT is massive but less available and useful as it could be, as user have to choose: - between native staking, - holding it in form of LSTs, - LPing (native or as LST), - using it as collateral (again native or as LST), gigaDOT is wrapping all of these use cases into single asset and product superior and more useful to all above. LSTs are 1 of the best crypto native product and innovations, which are still under appreciated by many, while w/o them, most of users would prefer holding PoS assets on centralized exchanges and on-chain economy would be w/o any doubts way smaller and weaker than it's today. While our frens @Bifrost did a great job, despite our collective efforts vDOT liquidity isn't as high as it will be thx to gigaDOT enabling dramatic increase of capacity and usefulness of vDOT as collateral and looping strategies, both proving amazing pmf but limited too much due to it's current liquidity. To achieve higher growth we are proposing to move vDOT LP incentives towards gigaDOT + supply ~3m of DOT used by @Polkadot treasury for diversification into $$$ into lending side of our money market (while the DCA will continue) catalysing growth of ecosystem liquidity and allowing participation of more users (even highly interested institutionals) which can't be accommodated at current state of things. I can't predict prices but this might earmark turning point for ecosystem and it's community of on-chain users. gigaDOT and other sources of liquidity useable as collateral will be mycelium and fertilisers for birth and growth of Hollar - future currency of DAOs, censorship resistant and scalable medium of exchange for citizens of world and network states. Hollar as a foundation for savings and consumers products, assets and their liquidity will stop to leak from their owners, creators and producers into hands of middlemen like (centralized) exchange owners, MEV friendly blockchains and infrastrucutre, market makers corporations. No other stablecoin can be so tightly enshrined and combined with other economic and market primitives. We will stop massive extraction and redirect value flows back to innovators, builders and their communities. Necessary essential building blocks for the future are finally coming together.
