Monad Presale A guaranteed 2x or cashgrab? And why you shouldn't participate if you plan to dump! 1️⃣ Presale Info Monad announced that they will sell 7.5% of the total supply through a public sale on Coinbase ▫️ Total Supply: 100B $MON ▫️ Tokens for Sale: 7.5B $MON (7.5%) ▫️ Price: $0.025 per token ▫️ Allocation Range: $100 – $100K ▫️ Unlock: 100% at TGE 2️⃣ Eligibility Everyone who wants to participate is eligible. Purchase limits: Min $100 — Max $100,000 (higher for Coinbase One subscribers) If oversubscribed: “Filling up from the bottom” means that smaller participants (those who contributed less) get their allocations filled first, before larger ones. Note: If you can't do KYC due to country restrictions, you'll be excluded from the presale 3️⃣ Pre-Market $MON is pre-trading on HL at $0.56, which is more than twice the presale price Chances on Polymarket also look good, making a 2x definitely possible. But Before you ape in we need to consider a few more things... 4️⃣ Circulating Supply Unlocked tokens at TGE will be 49.4%, which might look crazy (similar to Meteora and Pengu). However, a closer look reveals that 38.5% are allocated to Ecosystem Development. It's unlikely these tokens will be dumped. Therefore, the actual circulating supply is 10.9%, which is good in my opinion. 5️⃣ Dump ≠ Future Allocations This is the first Coinbase presale, but many more, like $BASE and $FAR, are likely to follow. Long-term holders are rewarded with larger future allocations. If you plan to dump, your future allocations might be smaller. Considering $BASE could be an incredible opportunity, it might be wise to skip this one or hold it for more than 30 days. 6️⃣ Strategy Coinbase and Monad are attempting an anti-whale presale. Why? More distributed allocations result in smaller dumps. "Filling up from the bottom" means that the smaller your allocation request, the higher your chances of receiving tokens (especially in the likely event of oversubscription). So, it might not be wise to max port in this presale. 7️⃣ TL;DR Monad's presale will very likely be profitable with 2-3x gains. Just because of the reason already that it's the first presale on Coinbase Things to consider: - KYC (not everyone will be eligible) - Dump = smaller future allocations

In one of the sharpest drawdowns in recent crypto history, Drift’s systems held strong to protect users when it mattered most. Yesterday, crypto saw over $20B liquidated with $76M liquidated on Drift. This is how Drift ensures safe liquidations to protect users: At peak volatility, 4,608 Drift users were at risk of liquidation. Through flash-crash protection and oracle guardrails, Drift's system protected 50% (2,303 users) from being liquidated. Traders shouldn't be wiped out by a single bad oracle tick or quick wick. A DEX shouldn't erase large accounts off one errant price print. This is bad for users and bad for protocol solvency. Drift's liquidation engine is designed to strike a balance between fast enough to protect the protocol AND fair enough to give traders to recover. The farther a price deviates from a short-term TWAP, the slower the liquidation window. Even a few seconds can save a lot. The team is reviewing data from this event closely and will continue improving the system to keep traders safe, and DeFi resilient.
