Today we’re expanding our support for @HyperliquidX by becoming the platform’s official treasury deployer of USDC. Onchain markets operate 24/7 and require collateral that is always available, instantly transferable, and deeply liquid - USDC delivers exactly that. Alongside this, we’ve also significantly increased our position of staked HYPE.

I’ve been building REORDER in silence for over 6 months now. Not just to create a collection, but to challenge myself creatively and mentally. It was time to @R3ORDR To break patterns. To reorganize the noise. To find out what was hidden somewhere deep inside my mind all along. Appreciate everyone already connecting with the signal 🔁💙🙏


quick breakdown on why @EspressoSys PoS upgrade is such a big move, not just for Espresso itself, but for every rollup relying on fast finality, economic security, and real crosschain composability☕️ Espresso has already proven the tech in production Now it’s stepping into a new era with a more decentralized, community-secured base layer If you want the simple version of why this matters and why it’s such a major milestone for the crosschain future, this video will make it click!🎥🤝🏽

Staking Is Live! Stake $ASSET now for a time-weighted share of 50,000 USDC during the three-month genesis campaign. Early stakers secure Day 1 participation as REAL transitions to a Proof of Authority (PoA) and network-driven staking model. What Staking Provides: → Time-weighted share of 50,000 USDC during these 3 months → Early positioning for validator participation and rewards → Share of transaction fees once live Following the campaign, staking transitions to the PoA model, with rewards accruing from real network activity: transaction fees and validator block rewards. Rewards are calculated on a time- and amount-weighted basis. The larger your $ASSET stake and the sooner you add it to the pool, the greater your proportional share of 50,000 USDC will be.

Privacy is finally being taken seriously this year. Every major primitive (ZK, FHE, MPC, TEE) shipped a real working product in the last 5 months. The 2026 Privacy Landscape ↓ TEE • @iEx_ec: Building TEE-based confidential computing since 2017. Shipped Confidential Token, turning any ERC20 into a confidential & auditable asset, along with Confidential Vault on Arbitrum Sepolia, a plug-in tool for onchain vaults to keep balances, LP positions, and strategies hidden. • @PhalaNetwork: TEE network purpose-built for confidential AI agents. Powers private inference and agent workloads with attested execution off-chain. • @OasisProtocol: First confidential EVM through its Sapphire runtime. Brings programmable privacy to standard Solidity, no new language required. ZK • @aztecnetwork: Alpha Network went live on March 31, 2026, the first Ethereum L2 with fully private smart contracts. Built around Noir, with client-side proving and dual public/private state. • @RAILGUN_Project: Private and bridgeless DeFi using ZK proofs to shield balances and transactions. Integrates directly with major protocols, no wrapping required. • @AleoHQ: First private programmable L1, built around offchain ZK execution with onchain verification. Designed for apps where the entire computation stays private by default. • @namada: IBC-first shielded asset hub, with multichain expansion. It acts as a shared anonymity set for assets bridged from any connected chain. FHE • @zama: FHE tooling infra powering most encrypted compute on EVM today. GSR completed the first confidential OTC trade on Zama in March 2026. • @fhenix: Encrypted computation rollup built on Zama's stack, bringing fully homomorphic privacy to L2 scale. • @inconetwork: Full-stack privacy layer combining FHE with cross-chain modularity, offering confidential compute as a service to connected chains. MPC • @nillion: Decentralised blind compute network for private data and AI inference. Migrated to Ethereum in Jan 2026. for deeper composability with the EVM stack. • @Arcium: MPC-based encrypted supercomputer. Mainnet Alpha live on Solana with 25+ projects actively building. • @LitProtocol: Decentralized key management network for programmable signing and encryption. Did I miss anything?


To me, all defi protocols who can generate positive revenue during this market period deserve a tier S class. However, if you take a closer look into these aspects of their operatings, you may see a more fulfilled picture on how they can maintain a good operational performance: + DeFi niches + Fees generated vs. expense defecit + Reputations A better operational picture should include a solid user base and a sustainable fees generated through time. Protocols who cut down expenses will be considered as lower tier on the list. Let's start with the list: 1. Tier S: goated, no seasonal protocol, solid pillar of the market @tether - $491.4m - the issuer of USDT, all yields from USDT backing assets investments, mostly US Treasury Bills collected by Tether. @circle - $198.52m - the 2nd largest stable issuer USDC, establishing a 100% earnings from revenue with zero cost of revenue. @HyperliquidX - $51.74m - the vital pillar of perp trading, generating a sustainable revenue line thanks to a solid user base. @Paxos - $10.92m - the issuer of PAXG, accumulating revenue back since the hype of RWA. 2. Tier A: strong-built models, market dominance @Pumpfun - $37.03m - PumpFun once stood at a much higher position due to the massive hype of meme cycle, now maintaining at top 5 by revenue. @trondao - $30.94m - being the best network for stablecoin transfer. @Polymarket - $20.55m - still the best prediction market by revenue generated, even though being competed for the 1st place by Kalshi. @Grayscale - $19.48m - zero cost of revenue, printing millions for managing RWA investments. @SkyEcosystem - $15.36m - fees collected minus savings rate paid to DSR depositors. @aave - $9.74m - being the largest money market but Aave faces a huge cost of revenue, making above 85% each month. @chainlink - $4.63m - being the largest data infra of the market. 3. Tier B: @CantonNetwork - $66.22m - Canton ranks the top 3 by revenue, but their model is running private RWA streaming, which means the user base and the actual volume are unknown. @AxiomExchange - $12.36m - low reputation for the highest revenue trading platform. @edgeX_exchange - $7.88m - emerging perp dex, still maintaining the heat after the TGE. @LidoFinance - $4.83m - facing a high cost of revenue, making the whole model felt short in gross revenue 4. Tier C: @Courtyard_io - $6.03m - running zero cost of revenue in the digital card collection, still a narrow niche to scale up. @gmgnai - $4.39m - not a sustainable model, going seasonal due to the activity of meme market.
