Icymi, @pumpdotfun is no longer the #1 memcoin venue.
New hero: @bonk_fun.

The biggest VC rounds: AI in focus.
Watchlist ↓
1. Infrastructure-first (Deep Tech Plays)
These projects are building rails, compute layers, privacy-preserving tooling, or data marketplaces. They aim to become part of the protocol stack, not the app layer.
Examples:
• @nillionaire98 (privacy-preserving computation)
• @oceanprotocol (data liquidity layer)
• @SentientAGI (decentralized AI compute)
• @PhalaNetwork (confidential smart contracts & compute)
These are high-capex, high-mojo bets often with long time horizons and complex regulatory overlays.
2. Agent-first (Consumer UX plays)

This is very bullish for @plumenetwork:
You can now gain yield exposure to new credit markets from BlackRock, Fidelity, Blackstone, and Invesco through @NestCredit.
NestCredit is powered by Plume.
Reading between the lines.

I don't want to ruin your party,
But did anyone read the tokenomics of @billions_ntwk?

@Mantle_Official $MNT | $0.918
+18.36% over the past 7 days
Why It’s Pumping:
Mantle is riding a mix of bullish technicals, major product rollouts, and investor confidence tied to its massive ETH-backed treasury.
What’s Driving It:

• TVL & Inflows: Sta

Most of DeFi feels like a speedrun.
New token every day.
Leaderboards.
Farming airdrops.
It’s fun… until it’s not.
Burnout is real, and most people chase noise, not yield.
The other day, I saw a post from a research-focused KOL I follow. They were discussing @TeaFi_Official, and it caught my attention.
Curious, I did a quick dive and ended up talking to the team. The planned features seem like they could genuinely address many of the pain points we've all experienced in DeFi.
It appears someone is finally building real DeFAI — not another 'earn in your sleep' meme, but a system that adapts to

Btw: @pancakeswap 's TVL took a 75% hit, still processing billions

ICYMI: The @Yellow public sale is live.
$740K has already been committed out of the $800K goal.
The narrative? Chain abstraction.
Yellow enables:
• Trustless cross-chain interoperability
• Trustless dapps with the Yellow SDK (we call them “yApps”)
• Trustless trading with Yellow’s native clearing protocol
• Trustless real-time execution
No bridges. No seed phrases. No gas worries.

Guess who's now on @legiondotcc.
