The crypto industry is currently showcasing a fascinating "physicalization" movement: crypto cards 📇 That's right. Have you ever thought about using USDT to order food delivery, shop on JD.com, or even pay at convenience stores on the street? These digital assets, which originally only existed on screens, are now quietly entering the real world through crypto cards. According to RootData, there are currently 37 projects focused on crypto card services. Capital is betting, projects are racing, and more cards are on the way 🚅 For example: #OKX will collaborate with Mastercard to launch the OKX Card; #Kraken has partnered with Mastercard to introduce a crypto debit card; MetaMask, Baanx, and others will jointly launch a "metal card." From 万链 (WanLian) and 万所 (WanSuo), we are now evolving into the "WanCard era." What are the main crypto card products available on the market today, and what are their different thresholds?👇👇

Burns: As corporate holdings increase and ETF "supply tightening" intensifies, Bitcoin will reach new highs According to The Block, this year's Bitcoin price narrative has fluctuated between "gold" and "Nasdaq" correlations. However, Bernstein analysts believe that short-term correlation is misleading; retail investor sell-offs have dried up, institutional accumulation is rising, and ETF capital is flowing back in—these are the key indicators that could drive a "supply tightening" and push prices to new highs. Bernstein analysts estimate that Bitcoin will peak at around $200,000 by the end of 2025, reach $500,000 by the end of 2029, and hit $1 million by the end of 2033, with intermittent one-year bear markets in between.

Critical Market Information Gap on April 24, A Must-Read! | Alpha Morning Report

💰 RootData Funding Report (4/23) - Symbiotic @symbioticfi raised $29 M in Series A round, led by @PanteraCapital and @cbventures — two of the most prominent and long-term players in the crypto investment ecosystem. This round marks a major leap forward for Symbiotic’s mission to build a universal restaking and coordination layer that powers decentralized services across modular and monolithic blockchains alike. · As a pioneer in blockchain asset management, Pantera Capital brings both strategic insight and deep technical conviction to this partnership. Pantera’s focus on infrastructure-layer innovation aligns directly with Symbiotic’s vision to enable programmable security for any protocol—allowing L1s, L2s, bridges, oracles, and emerging verticals like AI or ZK systems to configure their own validator sets, incentive models, and slashing conditions without reinventing the wheel. · Coinbase Ventures, as the investment arm of one of the most trusted crypto platforms globally, adds ecosystem reach and institutional credibility. Their participation underscores the importance of economic coordination frameworks as a critical next step for blockchain scalability and security—especially in a multi-chain world. The round also drew support from more than 100 prominent angels and contributors, including teams from @aave , @0xPolygon , and @StarkWareLtd , reflecting strong belief from builders already operating at the forefront of DeFi and scalability. With 14 networks like Hyperlane, Spark, and Avail already onboarded and 20+ more lined up, Symbiotic is quickly gaining traction as a modular restaking primitive for high-assurance decentralized services. 💡 In a landscape where validator coordination, capital efficiency, and inter-protocol cooperation are becoming mission-critical, Symbiotic’s approach to reusable staking capital and sovereign security customization stands out. With backing from two of the industry’s most sophisticated investors, Symbiotic is well-positioned to become the connective tissue of economic security across the decentralized stack. ac8-8f7c-99248608e8b9.jpg"/>

They came to Blenfucious with questions. “Master, I am told borrowing is dangerous.” “That I must pay to access liquidity.” “That risk is the price of freedom.” Blenfucious poured tea. “These are the teachings of the Old World,” he said. “Where collateral is imprisoned, and interest bleeds quietly.” The disciple asked, “What does Blendy teach?” Blenfucious smiled. “That your collateral is not meant to sit idly. That your yield is not a trophy, but a worker. And that capital, when unchained, can repay itself.” “At Blendy, we do not borrow. We yield stream. We liberate. We blend.” The disciple looked confused. “So when do I repay?” The Master stood. “When your bags stop earning. When yield stops streaming. When the chain breaks.” The room fell silent. The tea remained warm. And from that day forward, the disciple never repaid again. He became a Blendor. — The Book of Blend, Chapter I ac7b-136674069f4d.jpg"/>

A wise philosopher once said: "The first time I used Blendy, I kept checking my wallet, waiting for the interest to hit. It never did. That’s when it clicked. I didn’t pay interest. My collateral did. With Blendy, you deposit a yield-bearing asset like JitoSOL, borrow $USDC against it, and part of your yield is automatically streamed to the lender. No repayment schedules. No stress. Just capital working the way it should. It feels like cheating. But it’s just Yield Streamed Lending. You’re not a borrower anymore.

The Mantra $OM dump is reminiscent of the $MATIC/ $POL dump of 2019, where Matic dumped 80% and the founding team was accused of orchestrating a sell-off. It was later found that this sell-off was the result of adversarial actors who took advantage of an opportunity to create a cascading liquidation effect and profit heavily from the capital destruction. The Matic team recovered from this temporary hinderance and went on to create the most widely used EVM-enabled L1 after Ethereum at the time and outperformed the entire market. Blu frens wishes @jp_mullin888 and the Mantra ecosystem a speedy recovery. Mantra is a Cosmos project and the Cosmos ecosystem is known for its resilience and perseverance.

Collateralization in DeFi Lending: Safety vs. Capital Efficiency What Is Collateralization in DeFi? In DeFi lending, collateralization means you must lock up assets (collateral) in order to borrow other assets. Unlike a bank loan that might rely on credit history, DeFi loans are secured entirely by crypto collateral. For example, if a platform has a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 75%, depositing $100 of ETH lets you borrow up to $75 in stablecoins. This mechanism ensures the loan is always backed by sufficient value. Why Are DeFi Loans Overcollateralized? Overcollateralization is used because DeFi loans are trustless and crypto assets are volatile. There’s no credit check or identity verification in most DeFi protocols, so the only protection for lenders is the collateral itself​. Requiring borrowers to lock in more value than they borrow creates a buffer against price drops in the collateral​. If the collateral’s value falls, the excess ensures lenders can still be made whole by liquidating the collateral if needed. In short, overcollateralization = safety. It greatly reduces the risk of defaults in an environment where anyone can borrow pseudonymously, and rapid price swings are common. ​ Capital Efficiency and Idle Collateral The flip side of safety is capital efficiency. Capital efficiency refers to how effectively capital is used – in this case, how much you can borrow or earn relative to the collateral you lock up. High capital efficiency means getting more usable value out of your collateral; low efficiency means much of your money sits idle. In traditional overcollateralized loans, low LTV ratios (e.g. borrowing 50% of your collateral’s value) are common to stay safe. However, while safer for lenders, low LTVs result in a lot of unused capital sitting idle and untapped​. That unused portion of your collateral isn’t actively helping you – it’s there “just in case.” For example, if you deposit $1,000 and only borrow $300, the extra $700 value is essentially dormant capital locked in the platform. This makes your overall position capital-inefficient because that $700 could have been used elsewhere to earn yield or finance other investments. Why is capital efficiency important? Because inefficient use of capital has an opportunity cost. For borrowers, it means you had to tie up extra funds that you can’t deploy for other purposes. For the DeFi ecosystem, it means a lot of liquidity stays frozen as safety buffer rather than driving more trading, investing, or lending. Improving capital efficiency (without blowing up risk) is a key goal for evolving DeFi lending models. The Safety vs. Efficiency Trade-Off There’s an inherent trade-off between safety and capital efficiency in collateralized DeFi loans. On one hand, more collateral (low LTV) gives a big safety margin against market crashes – lowering liquidation risk. On the other hand, it means less borrowing power and more idle funds. On the flip side, higher LTV (using more of your collateral’s value) lets you borrow more (better efficiency), but it brings you closer to the liquidation threshold, increasing the risk that a dip in collateral price triggers a forced sell-off of your assets. New Approaches to Improve Efficiency (Without Sacrificing Safety) Recognizing the capital inefficiencies of traditional overcollateralized loans, we've designed our app to make DeFi loans more capital-efficient through automation and we actively manage your collateral and debt in real-time to keep your position optimal. Conclusion Collateralization is a fundamental concept in DeFi lending – it’s what makes trustless loans possible by using your assets as security. Overcollateralization has been the norm, for good reason: it protects lenders and keeps the system solvent amid wild market swings. However, it comes at the cost of capital efficiency, forcing borrowers to lock up extra funds that sit idle. Understanding this trade-off between safety and efficiency is key for any crypto investor using lending protocols. The good news is that DeFi is evolving & now newer solutions like ours are pushing the envelope to unlock more value from collateral without compromising on risk. ac-155586406339.jpg"/>

[SMART MONEY] News that shows why REAL YIELD matters 👇 "Oaktree's Howard Marks on Credit Yields, Trump's Tariffs" - @Bloomberg Howard Marks just sounded the alarm. AGAIN. But this isn’t just about trade . . . It’s about the end of the world we’ve known since WWII. A world built on globalization, low inflation, and cheap capital. That era is over. We’re entering a time of dislocation. Assumptions collapse and nothing feels priced in. Inflation is no longer transitory. Manufacturing is no longer cheap. Capital is no longer free. And in this world, REAL YIELD is the new safe haven. Because when growth slows, speculation dies. When trust erodes, narratives break. But yield? ENDURES. Cash flows. Hard assets. Income-producing protocols. That’s where capital hides when the storm comes. Howard Marks isn’t warning about tariffs. He’s warning about a new regime. It's not hype that matters . . . It’s FUNDAMENTALS. And if you can’t tell the difference? Then it's likely YOU are the yield. Time to wake up fam! Source in 🧵 ac-cc1295528a21.jpg"/>

5 ETH unlocks $6.5M in voting power, the Arbitrum DAO governance turmoil continues to escalate. In early April, the ArbitrumDAO @arbitrumdao_gov was holding elections for members of the Oversight and Transparency Committee (OAT), when a "voting power purchase" of only 5 ETH sparked controversy. User hitmonlee.eth obtained 19.3 million ARB voting rights (worth $6.5M) at a low price through the platform LobbyFi and cast all of them for candidate Joseph Schiarizzi, helping him to be successfully elected. This incident highlights the structural fragility of the "one token, one vote" governance model and brings the previously hidden mechanism of the "voting market" to the forefront. LobbyFi's voting power rental mechanism essentially allows capital to manipulate DAO decisions in the short term at extremely low cost. Although the platform claims the mechanism is transparent, this move has sparked discussions about the legitimacy and governance fairness of the DAO. Opinions within the community are divided: some believe that such behavior should be prohibited, while others advocate allowing the market to regulate itself spontaneously, emphasizing that it is at least safer to track than private transactions. Should the DAO intervene in the "voting market"? This has become an unresolved problem. In addition, the potential annual income of this position exceeds 66 ETH, while the threshold for obtaining it is only 5 ETH. The huge arbitrage space also strengthens the motivation for governance manipulation. After the incident, the Arbitrum Foundation initiated a discussion proposal but has not yet proposed mandatory measures. This turmoil has also raised regulatory concerns. The SEC and CFTC have been paying increasing attention to DAO governance. Cases such as Build Finance DAO and Beanstalk have already warned of the risk of governance being compromised. How to build a governance moat between freedom and control is a problem that DAOs must solve in the next stage. The Pandora's box of DAOs is quietly being opened. ac2af6b54d.jpg"/>

👇Everyone talks about “interest rates”... but how do they actually affect crypto? Let’s break it down! 🟢When central banks raise interest rates, borrowing money becomes more expensive. 🟢Investors pull capital out of risk assets (like stocks and crypto) and move it to yield-bearing assets (like bonds or savings), which are now more attractive. 🟢Higher rates = less liquidity = lower risk appetite. Result: Bearish pressure on crypto prices. 🟢On the flip side, when interest rates fall, capital gets cheaper, liquidity flows back into the market. Risk assets like Bitcoin, ETH, and alts benefit. 🟢But here’s the nuance: Crypto can sometimes front-run the market. If investors expect a rate cut, they may start buying crypto before the cut happens. 📈 Lower rates = bullish for crypto 📉 Higher rates = bearish pressure 🧠 Expectation and positioning matter as much as the policy itself. ac-addd-4101-abcb-ae12ad5df086.jpg"/>

💥Conversation with Sign Co-founder Xin Yan: SIGN Doesn't Want to Be the Next VC Coin On April 1st, April Fool's Day, Sign @ethsign and the community joked about a "Sign TGE info link." But it wasn't entirely a joke, because "大来" (Dà lái - *untranslatable, likely a reference to something specific in the community*) is real, and Sign's token, $SIGN, is about to launch. Three years ago, EthSign stood out due to the participation of many well-known VCs in its investment rounds, becoming the first and only project in which all three departments of Sequoia Capital jointly participated in the same round of financing. But the VC-driven narrative is gradually losing its appeal, and a "renaissance" driven by the crypto community is on the rise. At some point in 2023, co-founder Xin Yan @realyanxin suddenly realized that VC coins actually lack a real community. In an interview with ChainCatcher, he mentioned that to establish their own foundation, they must break away from the path dependency of relying on others. SIGN doesn't want to be the next VC coin. Based on this idea, the team decided to remove "Eth" from EthSign and start doing their own thing. The community "Orange Dynasty" emerged, with members building the community in their own ways. Sign's products also gained greater imagination in this process 🤟 What exactly does the Sign App do? What are the future plans? How can ordinary users participate in Sign community building?

Critical Market Information Gap on April 24, A Must-Read! | Alpha Morning Report

💰 RootData Funding Report (4/23) - Symbiotic @symbioticfi raised $29 M in Series A round, led by @PanteraCapital and @cbventures — two of the most prominent and long-term players in the crypto investment ecosystem. This round marks a major leap forward for Symbiotic’s mission to build a universal restaking and coordination layer that powers decentralized services across modular and monolithic blockchains alike. · As a pioneer in blockchain asset management, Pantera Capital brings both strategic insight and deep technical conviction to this partnership. Pantera’s focus on infrastructure-layer innovation aligns directly with Symbiotic’s vision to enable programmable security for any protocol—allowing L1s, L2s, bridges, oracles, and emerging verticals like AI or ZK systems to configure their own validator sets, incentive models, and slashing conditions without reinventing the wheel. · Coinbase Ventures, as the investment arm of one of the most trusted crypto platforms globally, adds ecosystem reach and institutional credibility. Their participation underscores the importance of economic coordination frameworks as a critical next step for blockchain scalability and security—especially in a multi-chain world. The round also drew support from more than 100 prominent angels and contributors, including teams from @aave , @0xPolygon , and @StarkWareLtd , reflecting strong belief from builders already operating at the forefront of DeFi and scalability. With 14 networks like Hyperlane, Spark, and Avail already onboarded and 20+ more lined up, Symbiotic is quickly gaining traction as a modular restaking primitive for high-assurance decentralized services. 💡 In a landscape where validator coordination, capital efficiency, and inter-protocol cooperation are becoming mission-critical, Symbiotic’s approach to reusable staking capital and sovereign security customization stands out. With backing from two of the industry’s most sophisticated investors, Symbiotic is well-positioned to become the connective tissue of economic security across the decentralized stack. ac8-8f7c-99248608e8b9.jpg"/>

They came to Blenfucious with questions. “Master, I am told borrowing is dangerous.” “That I must pay to access liquidity.” “That risk is the price of freedom.” Blenfucious poured tea. “These are the teachings of the Old World,” he said. “Where collateral is imprisoned, and interest bleeds quietly.” The disciple asked, “What does Blendy teach?” Blenfucious smiled. “That your collateral is not meant to sit idly. That your yield is not a trophy, but a worker. And that capital, when unchained, can repay itself.” “At Blendy, we do not borrow. We yield stream. We liberate. We blend.” The disciple looked confused. “So when do I repay?” The Master stood. “When your bags stop earning. When yield stops streaming. When the chain breaks.” The room fell silent. The tea remained warm. And from that day forward, the disciple never repaid again. He became a Blendor. — The Book of Blend, Chapter I ac7b-136674069f4d.jpg"/>

A wise philosopher once said: "The first time I used Blendy, I kept checking my wallet, waiting for the interest to hit. It never did. That’s when it clicked. I didn’t pay interest. My collateral did. With Blendy, you deposit a yield-bearing asset like JitoSOL, borrow $USDC against it, and part of your yield is automatically streamed to the lender. No repayment schedules. No stress. Just capital working the way it should. It feels like cheating. But it’s just Yield Streamed Lending. You’re not a borrower anymore.

The Mantra $OM dump is reminiscent of the $MATIC/ $POL dump of 2019, where Matic dumped 80% and the founding team was accused of orchestrating a sell-off. It was later found that this sell-off was the result of adversarial actors who took advantage of an opportunity to create a cascading liquidation effect and profit heavily from the capital destruction. The Matic team recovered from this temporary hinderance and went on to create the most widely used EVM-enabled L1 after Ethereum at the time and outperformed the entire market. Blu frens wishes @jp_mullin888 and the Mantra ecosystem a speedy recovery. Mantra is a Cosmos project and the Cosmos ecosystem is known for its resilience and perseverance.

Collateralization in DeFi Lending: Safety vs. Capital Efficiency What Is Collateralization in DeFi? In DeFi lending, collateralization means you must lock up assets (collateral) in order to borrow other assets. Unlike a bank loan that might rely on credit history, DeFi loans are secured entirely by crypto collateral. For example, if a platform has a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 75%, depositing $100 of ETH lets you borrow up to $75 in stablecoins. This mechanism ensures the loan is always backed by sufficient value. Why Are DeFi Loans Overcollateralized? Overcollateralization is used because DeFi loans are trustless and crypto assets are volatile. There’s no credit check or identity verification in most DeFi protocols, so the only protection for lenders is the collateral itself​. Requiring borrowers to lock in more value than they borrow creates a buffer against price drops in the collateral​. If the collateral’s value falls, the excess ensures lenders can still be made whole by liquidating the collateral if needed. In short, overcollateralization = safety. It greatly reduces the risk of defaults in an environment where anyone can borrow pseudonymously, and rapid price swings are common. ​ Capital Efficiency and Idle Collateral The flip side of safety is capital efficiency. Capital efficiency refers to how effectively capital is used – in this case, how much you can borrow or earn relative to the collateral you lock up. High capital efficiency means getting more usable value out of your collateral; low efficiency means much of your money sits idle. In traditional overcollateralized loans, low LTV ratios (e.g. borrowing 50% of your collateral’s value) are common to stay safe. However, while safer for lenders, low LTVs result in a lot of unused capital sitting idle and untapped​. That unused portion of your collateral isn’t actively helping you – it’s there “just in case.” For example, if you deposit $1,000 and only borrow $300, the extra $700 value is essentially dormant capital locked in the platform. This makes your overall position capital-inefficient because that $700 could have been used elsewhere to earn yield or finance other investments. Why is capital efficiency important? Because inefficient use of capital has an opportunity cost. For borrowers, it means you had to tie up extra funds that you can’t deploy for other purposes. For the DeFi ecosystem, it means a lot of liquidity stays frozen as safety buffer rather than driving more trading, investing, or lending. Improving capital efficiency (without blowing up risk) is a key goal for evolving DeFi lending models. The Safety vs. Efficiency Trade-Off There’s an inherent trade-off between safety and capital efficiency in collateralized DeFi loans. On one hand, more collateral (low LTV) gives a big safety margin against market crashes – lowering liquidation risk. On the other hand, it means less borrowing power and more idle funds. On the flip side, higher LTV (using more of your collateral’s value) lets you borrow more (better efficiency), but it brings you closer to the liquidation threshold, increasing the risk that a dip in collateral price triggers a forced sell-off of your assets. New Approaches to Improve Efficiency (Without Sacrificing Safety) Recognizing the capital inefficiencies of traditional overcollateralized loans, we've designed our app to make DeFi loans more capital-efficient through automation and we actively manage your collateral and debt in real-time to keep your position optimal. Conclusion Collateralization is a fundamental concept in DeFi lending – it’s what makes trustless loans possible by using your assets as security. Overcollateralization has been the norm, for good reason: it protects lenders and keeps the system solvent amid wild market swings. However, it comes at the cost of capital efficiency, forcing borrowers to lock up extra funds that sit idle. Understanding this trade-off between safety and efficiency is key for any crypto investor using lending protocols. The good news is that DeFi is evolving & now newer solutions like ours are pushing the envelope to unlock more value from collateral without compromising on risk. ac-155586406339.jpg"/>

[SMART MONEY] News that shows why REAL YIELD matters 👇 "Oaktree's Howard Marks on Credit Yields, Trump's Tariffs" - @Bloomberg Howard Marks just sounded the alarm. AGAIN. But this isn’t just about trade . . . It’s about the end of the world we’ve known since WWII. A world built on globalization, low inflation, and cheap capital. That era is over. We’re entering a time of dislocation. Assumptions collapse and nothing feels priced in. Inflation is no longer transitory. Manufacturing is no longer cheap. Capital is no longer free. And in this world, REAL YIELD is the new safe haven. Because when growth slows, speculation dies. When trust erodes, narratives break. But yield? ENDURES. Cash flows. Hard assets. Income-producing protocols. That’s where capital hides when the storm comes. Howard Marks isn’t warning about tariffs. He’s warning about a new regime. It's not hype that matters . . . It’s FUNDAMENTALS. And if you can’t tell the difference? Then it's likely YOU are the yield. Time to wake up fam! Source in 🧵 ac-cc1295528a21.jpg"/>

5 ETH unlocks $6.5M in voting power, the Arbitrum DAO governance turmoil continues to escalate. In early April, the ArbitrumDAO @arbitrumdao_gov was holding elections for members of the Oversight and Transparency Committee (OAT), when a "voting power purchase" of only 5 ETH sparked controversy. User hitmonlee.eth obtained 19.3 million ARB voting rights (worth $6.5M) at a low price through the platform LobbyFi and cast all of them for candidate Joseph Schiarizzi, helping him to be successfully elected. This incident highlights the structural fragility of the "one token, one vote" governance model and brings the previously hidden mechanism of the "voting market" to the forefront. LobbyFi's voting power rental mechanism essentially allows capital to manipulate DAO decisions in the short term at extremely low cost. Although the platform claims the mechanism is transparent, this move has sparked discussions about the legitimacy and governance fairness of the DAO. Opinions within the community are divided: some believe that such behavior should be prohibited, while others advocate allowing the market to regulate itself spontaneously, emphasizing that it is at least safer to track than private transactions. Should the DAO intervene in the "voting market"? This has become an unresolved problem. In addition, the potential annual income of this position exceeds 66 ETH, while the threshold for obtaining it is only 5 ETH. The huge arbitrage space also strengthens the motivation for governance manipulation. After the incident, the Arbitrum Foundation initiated a discussion proposal but has not yet proposed mandatory measures. This turmoil has also raised regulatory concerns. The SEC and CFTC have been paying increasing attention to DAO governance. Cases such as Build Finance DAO and Beanstalk have already warned of the risk of governance being compromised. How to build a governance moat between freedom and control is a problem that DAOs must solve in the next stage. The Pandora's box of DAOs is quietly being opened. ac2af6b54d.jpg"/>

👇Everyone talks about “interest rates”... but how do they actually affect crypto? Let’s break it down! 🟢When central banks raise interest rates, borrowing money becomes more expensive. 🟢Investors pull capital out of risk assets (like stocks and crypto) and move it to yield-bearing assets (like bonds or savings), which are now more attractive. 🟢Higher rates = less liquidity = lower risk appetite. Result: Bearish pressure on crypto prices. 🟢On the flip side, when interest rates fall, capital gets cheaper, liquidity flows back into the market. Risk assets like Bitcoin, ETH, and alts benefit. 🟢But here’s the nuance: Crypto can sometimes front-run the market. If investors expect a rate cut, they may start buying crypto before the cut happens. 📈 Lower rates = bullish for crypto 📉 Higher rates = bearish pressure 🧠 Expectation and positioning matter as much as the policy itself. ac-addd-4101-abcb-ae12ad5df086.jpg"/>

💥Conversation with Sign Co-founder Xin Yan: SIGN Doesn't Want to Be the Next VC Coin On April 1st, April Fool's Day, Sign @ethsign and the community joked about a "Sign TGE info link." But it wasn't entirely a joke, because "大来" (Dà lái - *untranslatable, likely a reference to something specific in the community*) is real, and Sign's token, $SIGN, is about to launch. Three years ago, EthSign stood out due to the participation of many well-known VCs in its investment rounds, becoming the first and only project in which all three departments of Sequoia Capital jointly participated in the same round of financing. But the VC-driven narrative is gradually losing its appeal, and a "renaissance" driven by the crypto community is on the rise. At some point in 2023, co-founder Xin Yan @realyanxin suddenly realized that VC coins actually lack a real community. In an interview with ChainCatcher, he mentioned that to establish their own foundation, they must break away from the path dependency of relying on others. SIGN doesn't want to be the next VC coin. Based on this idea, the team decided to remove "Eth" from EthSign and start doing their own thing. The community "Orange Dynasty" emerged, with members building the community in their own ways. Sign's products also gained greater imagination in this process 🤟 What exactly does the Sign App do? What are the future plans? How can ordinary users participate in Sign community building?

They came to Blenfucious with questions. “Master, I am told borrowing is dangerous.” “That I must pay to access liquidity.” “That risk is the price of freedom.” Blenfucious poured tea. “These are the teachings of the Old World,” he said. “Where collateral is imprisoned, and interest bleeds quietly.” The disciple asked, “What does Blendy teach?” Blenfucious smiled. “That your collateral is not meant to sit idly. That your yield is not a trophy, but a worker. And that capital, when unchained, can repay itself.” “At Blendy, we do not borrow. We yield stream. We liberate. We blend.” The disciple looked confused. “So when do I repay?” The Master stood. “When your bags stop earning. When yield stops streaming. When the chain breaks.” The room fell silent. The tea remained warm. And from that day forward, the disciple never repaid again. He became a Blendor. — The Book of Blend, Chapter I ac7b-136674069f4d.jpg"/>

A wise philosopher once said: "The first time I used Blendy, I kept checking my wallet, waiting for the interest to hit. It never did. That’s when it clicked. I didn’t pay interest. My collateral did. With Blendy, you deposit a yield-bearing asset like JitoSOL, borrow $USDC against it, and part of your yield is automatically streamed to the lender. No repayment schedules. No stress. Just capital working the way it should. It feels like cheating. But it’s just Yield Streamed Lending. You’re not a borrower anymore. You’re a Blendor." - Blenfucious 2025 ac112e50d5.jpg"/>

The Mantra $OM dump is reminiscent of the $MATIC/ $POL dump of 2019, where Matic dumped 80% and the founding team was accused of orchestrating a sell-off. It was later found that this sell-off was the result of adversarial actors who took advantage of an opportunity to create a cascading liquidation effect and profit heavily from the capital destruction. The Matic team recovered from this temporary hinderance and went on to create the most widely used EVM-enabled L1 after Ethereum at the time and outperformed the entire market. Blu frens wishes @jp_mullin888 and the Mantra ecosystem a speedy recovery. Mantra is a Cosmos project and the Cosmos ecosystem is known for its resilience and perseverance. Keep building, the real wave of growth for the Cosmos ecosystem hasn't even started.ac23240-c910-484d-8a2c-fc5e545e909d.jpg"/>
