Preface: Hyperliquid is going to be very successful. Also: There are a lot of square-peg-round-hole implementations being pushed to the platform. User attention span and time-to-market are compressing across the board. If you have to push through a governance and asset sourcing process to deploy a new perp market (HIP-3) or prediction market (HIP-4), you will iterate too slow and that is where competitors will attack you.






@Kr3py @Zamd87 @Magicp0nziToken OK I am no longer the decision maker on if Up Only returns. The power is now stored within this NFT that I just minted. When the NFT is burned, the podcast will restart. Until then, please leave me alone. opensea.io/item/ethereum/…







What a great success story from Dolomite. Great product and even greater team. Really glad I bet on them early on. Did anyone else qualify? If so, what was your allocation?



Dolomite is one of the most anticipated token launches this quarter. @Dolomite_io's last funding round valuation was $60m (prior to their successful @berachain launch and achieving over $1 billion in TVL) and approximately 40.5% of tokens are circulating at launch (including veDOLO which is locked). If $DOLO were to open trading at this price it would have a $24.3M mcap. Now, let's take a look at some similar lending protocols and where they currently trade for a comparison and do some moon math: For context: - @aave has ~$18B TVL and $AAVE sits at $2.07B mcap / $2.2B FDV - @MorphoLabs has ~$2.6B TVL and $MORPHO sits at $212M mcap / $895M FDV - @compoundfinance has ~$2.15B TVL and $COMP sits at ~$363M mcap / $406M FDV - @0xfluid has ~$711M TVL and $FLUID sits at ~$155M mcap / $394M FDV - @eulerfinance has ~$691M TVL and $EUL sits at ~$141M mcap / $205M FDV Despite being valued significantly lower than less innovative competitors, @Dolomite_io stands out with an estimated launch mcap nearly 10x lower than comparable money markets—making it one of the most asymmetric opportunities right now. Some moon math: Unlike many legacy protocols that have stagnated, Dolomite brings fresh innovation to lending and capital efficiency with features others simply don’t offer: • Dynamic Collateral – continue staking, voting, claiming rewards, and participating in governance while borrowing against assets. • Smart Debt & Collateral – earn trading fees on both collateral and borrowed assets to offset borrow costs. • Unlimited isolated positions – build complex, risk-managed strategies without cross-contamination. • Modular architecture – rapidly ship new features and adapt to emerging DeFi trends (like Berachain’s PoL). Dolomite isn’t just a money market. It’s a fully-fledged DeFi platform—and at these valuations, I felt like it was necessary to drop some numbers. TLDR to the brainless apes who follow me: Dolomite’s superior tech stack and potentially low FDV/TVL ratio, extensive integrations, innovative features like Dynamic Collateral and Smart Debt, and co-founder @CoreyCaplan3's advisory role with @worldlibertyfi, I am personally very optimistic about this launch.
