Tối Chủ Nhật mưa lại rơi, mình nằm sofa nghe podcast crypto, remote lướt X (@retirequiver podcast recs). @hemi_xyz: "River $100M deposits, Fidelity pilot BTC treasury, liquidity commitments surge". Vibe Hemi: BTC DeFi no risk.
Last Sunday, I just finished coding a simple dApp on Linea testnet, tired but excited, ordered pizza from Grab and sat on the balcony admiring the city lights. Opened X (@retirequiver sharing dev tips), saw update @LineaBuild: "Vortex 2.1 upgrade live, TPS 6,800, burn metrics new high". 4 years of Vietnamese crypto taught me: build > trade.
Linea zkEVM: TVL 645M, bridged 558M, volume 448M 7d. Dual-burn 68k ETH + 255k $LINEA . Surge incentives Aave/Etherex, 365 dApps, DAU 325k.
Partnerships with ConsenSys, LayerZero across 14 chains. Community VN dev calls.
On Sunday morning, I woke up to the sound of rain tapping outside my SG house, making milk tea instead of coffee for a change. Check X @retirequiver, bam: Plasma TVL 6.9 billion USD, volume bridge 1.2 billion weekly from the new collab. I nodded, 5 years of crypto VN taught me: don't all-in, allocate small, DYOR, hold long.
Chiều Chủ Nhật, nắng Sài Gòn dịu dàng, mình đạp xe lòng vòng quận 3, dừng quán nước mía quen ven đường Lê Văn Sỹ, order ly đá bào cho mát. Check X (@retirequiver post dev tips VN nè), thấy @morpholabs announce: “Fixed-rate loans V2 full live, 400 triệu USD volume mới từ Arbitrum migration”. Mình gật gù, nhớ 4 năm trước: cuối tuần code Solidity trên Aave testnet, fee đắt cắt cổ, allocate liều vào forks rồi regret. Giờ 2025, vibe Morpho – lending protocol focus efficiency, P2P direct mà secure.
Morpho Blue core: isolated markets, no oracles central, match rates dynamic qua supply-demand. TVL 2.1 tỷ USD, tăng 15% monthly, Base 1.5 tỷ, Ethereum 600 triệu. Volume 24h 42 triệu, fees 1.35 triệu, efficiency ratio 43%. Vaults optimize: 850 triệu deposits, APY 11-15%, curated bởi pros như Gauntlet. Markets 250+, MAU 28k, tích hợp LayerZero cho cross-chain 14 networks bao gồm Cronos, Polygon. V2 fixed-rate: borrowers lock rates 30-90 days, lenders earn premium, volume mới 400 triệu tuần qua.
Backers mạnh: 69 triệu funding a16z, Ribbit, Pantera; Ethereum Foundation thêm 18 triệu deposits, Crypto.com pilot Cronos Q1/2026. Pyth + RedStone oracles cho data feeds, Superform hyper-vaults reward $MORPHO . DAO MIP 120 pass cho Base incentives 200k token. Community 55k Discord, VN group dev build Mini App.
Sáng nay cà phê group Bệt, bro fintech rủ “Farm $MORPHO vaults đi, yield ngon”. Khuyên: “Thử 1-3% thôi, hold qua cycle, DYOR governance”. Mẹ lo “Rủi ro không con?”. “Secure audited, con yield bền mẹ ơi”.
Nước mía ngọt, nghĩ Morpho là future lending VN. Allocate wise, DYOR, chill chiều!
Chiều thứ Bảy, chạy bộ công viên Lê Văn Tám đổ mồ hôi, dừng ghế đá check X (@retirequiver dev tips). @hemi_xyz: "hVM upgrade live, UTXO access real-time, Q4 TVL target $1.5B". 4 năm code bridges, Hemi simplify – build easy.
TVL $1.2B, fees $0.001, volume perps 172M weekly Aster. 90+ dApps, DAU 245k, PoP finality BTC-level.
Linea Ignition: Weekend Yield Farm Reflections from Vietnam
On Saturday afternoon, the sun in Saigon softened after a brief rain, I rode my bike around Le Van Tam Park, stopping by a roadside sugarcane juice stand to cool down. Check X (@retirequiver posts regularly), saw the thread @LineaBuild about the Ignition batch final: "1.2 billion VND <c-12>/distribute to LP, Aave reached TVL target early". I thought to myself: Exactly the 2025 vibe, L2 rewards fairer, no farm and dump. After five years since the bull run in Hanoi 2021, I now prefer projects like Linea – zkEVM scaling Ethereum in real terms, accessible for Vietnamese developers.
This afternoon the weather is beautiful, I ride my bike around West Lake (even though I'm in Saigon, I often dream of Hanoi), stop by a roadside coffee shop, order an iced latte. Open X to check @retirequiver, see a post about Plasma volume at $400 million weekly, TVL updated to $6.7 billion. I quietly think: This is the true crypto vibe of 2025—more mature, not just hype. With four years of experience from the VN bull run, I appreciate projects solving real problems like Plasma—stablecoin payments for emerging markets.
Launch in September 2025, Plasma instantly attracted $2.2 billion in TVL from Tether and Bitfinex. Currently: total TVL of $6.7 billion, $6 billion bridged via LayerZero/Chainlink, stablecoin market cap of $1.6 billion. DEX volume of $130 million in 24 hours, app revenue low but sustainable, TPS of 1,300 with sub-second finality. Zero-fee transfers attract Vietnamese traders, total fees of $850k weekly. DeFi: Aave has $3.8 billion in deposits, Pendle added $380 million in TVL, Binance yield product earns 10% APY on USDT.
Saturday morning, the weather in Saigon is unexpectedly chilly, I woke up earlier than usual, clumsily making a familiar glass of iced coffee and sitting at an old wooden table by the window in Binh Thanh district. Open X (@retirequiver update crypto VN chill here guys, follow for weekend chats), and then bam, thread from @morpholabs: “Morpho Vaults on Base just attracted an additional 200 million USD from Coinbase integrations, total TVL skyrocketed to 2.1 billion USD”. I smirked, flashback to 2021: sitting at Bệt coffee with the Telegram group, FOMO allocating into Compound forks, resulting in a wallet burning red due to liquidation cascade. Now with 5 years of experience, from a freelance dev in Hanoi to a holder in SG, I can only advise: DeFi is sustainable yield, not a gamble.
Sunday morning, the rain is tapping outside the window of the apartment in district 2, I woke up a bit late because I coded freelance until late last night, quickly made a strong filter coffee and sat at the familiar corner of the table. Open X (@retirequiver update chill here guys), the feed jumps to an announcement from @LineaBuild: "Surge campaign phase 2 live, incentives boost for Aave and Etherex, TVL is climbing back after the dip". I nod, remembering 4 years ago in Da Nang, beach coffee with a dev friend discussing the future of zkRollup, randomly allocating into testnet airdrop and then completely forgetting about it. Now in 2025, experience teaches me: crypto is about building ecosystems, not chasing short-term airdrops.
This morning Saturday, I woke up a bit late because I watched a Netflix movie until late last night, quickly made a cup of black coffee, and sat in my usual corner by the window. I opened the X app (@retirequiver here, guys follow please), saw the timeline buzzing about Plasma – TVL just hit a new milestone of 6.5 billion USD right after the Chainlink integration update. I smiled to myself, remembering back in 2021 in Vietnam, crypto was still unfamiliar, I allocated randomly into memecoins, resulting in a deflated wallet. Now with 5 years of experience, from Saigon to Hanoi crypto coffee groups, I only advise: DYOR carefully, allocate small, and just hold long.
Airdrops often spark pumps then dumps, but Binance's October 2025 distribution of 250 million $HEMI to BNB holders—2.5% of supply—has done the opposite for Hemi, injecting sustained liquidity that propelled TVL past $1.2 billion without retrace. This strategic drop, tied to HODLing mechanics, bootstrapped perp and lending pools on the Bitcoin-Ethereum L2, where new users stake airdropped tokens for PoP validation, earning 13% APYs while securing the network's miner oracles.
Hemi's PoP shines in retention: Miners attest states with airdrop-staked $HEMI, achieving 300ms finality and 7,500 TPS. This has stabilized post-drop volatility, with 70% of recipients locking for yields.
Tối thứ Bảy, Sài Gòn lên đèn, mình vừa finish code dApp trên Base testnet, order Grab phở bò rồi ngồi balcony check X (@retirequiver tips dev đây). @morpholabs post: “MIP 118 pass, $MORPHO deploy HyperEVM, 100k token incentives”. 5 năm crypto, từ Hà Nội meetup đến SG grind, mình học được: build > trade, và Morpho là sân chơi cho dev VN.
Morpho là lending protocol trên Ethereum/Base, P2P matching cho rates tốt hơn Aave. TVL 1.86 tỷ USD, volume 38.5 triệu 24h, fees 1.18 triệu. Vaults optimize yield 10-14% APY, 210 dApps live, MAU 24.6k. V2 fixed-rate loans, cross-chain Arbitrum. Partnerships: Crypto.com, LayerZero, Pyth oracles, Coinbase 130 triệu loans. Governance DAO vote MIP 117 cho Arbitrum rewards.
Bro dev rủ “Farm $MORPHO vault ngon”. Khuyên: “1-2%, hold 2 năm, DYOR”. Mẹ hỏi “ổn không?”. “Secure mẹ ơi, con build long-term”.
Tối phở nóng, watch Morpho TVL tick. Bet on DeFi, allocate nhỏ, DYOR, chill bro!
Exploring Linea: Weekend Build DApp or Yield Farm?
Saturday late afternoon, I just finished a freelance coding session for a simple smart contract, sweating under the persistent heat of Saigon. After wiping my face, I plopped down at the table, opened my laptop to check X (@retirequiver updates regularly), and saw a thread about the Artefact Space NFT mint on Linea – a collaboration with Neal Stephenson and Weta Workshop, early access for holders from 11.12. I scoffed, flashing back to 2021: coding a dApp on the ETH testnet over the weekend, fees were exorbitantly high, now Linea is changing the game with low-cost zkEVM. After 5 years in crypto, from the Hanoi dev meetup to solo grinding in SG, my advice to everyone now is: focus on building, not trading.
The Secret to Holding Plasma During a Busy Weekend
Busy Saturday, in the morning a zoom meeting with the freelance team, in the afternoon running in Tao Đàn park to keep fit. Back home, very tired but still taking the time to check the Plasma app – weekly volume just jumped 57% to 356 million USD. I shook my head and laughed, remembering 4 years ago, staying up every weekend researching Layer 2, now it's different: only allocating to things with a clear narrative like Plasma, stablecoin-first chains are redefining payments.
Chiều Chủ Nhật, nắng Sài Gòn vàng rực, mình đạp xe quanh công viên 30/4, dừng lại quán nước mía check X (@retirequiver post đều nè). @morpholabs vừa tweet: “Stable integration live, 775 triệu USD pre-deposited vào vaults”. Mình gật gù, flashback 2021: chạy deadline freelance, đêm thức check Compound rates, allocate liều rồi stress. 4 năm crypto VN, giờ mình vibe với dự án như Morpho – lending flexible, yield bền vững, không drama.
Morpho Blue là core protocol, permissionless markets cho P2P lending, collateralized loans bảo vệ lenders qua auto-liquidation. TVL 1.86 tỷ USD, Base chiếm 70% nhờ Vortex upgrade tăng TPS 5.000, fees 1.18 triệu USD tuần qua. Volume 24h 38.5 triệu, Morpho Vaults hút 775 triệu từ Stable (Bitfinex-backed), dù drama team wallets fill 50% capacity pre-launch. V2 rollout tháng 9/2025, thêm intent-based fixed-rate loans, cross-chain Ethereum/Base/Cronos. Số dApp 210, MAU 24.6k, loan-to-deposit ratio 41% – dẫn đầu sector về efficiency.
Partnerships chất: a16z, Ribbit Capital, Coinbase Ventures (69 triệu USD funding), Cronos collab Q4/2025 cho wrapped assets lending, Re7 Labs tích hợp Pyth oracles. Ethereum Foundation deposit 9.6 triệu ETH + 6 triệu stablecoins, Coinbase push USDC lending 130 triệu active loans. Morpho Prime và Telegram Mini App mới live, reward $MORPHO cho curators qua DAO. Governance transparent, 92% votes MIP 98 cho Telegram frontend.
Hôm qua cà phê Bệt, bạn fintech hỏi “Morpho farm $MO$MORPHO nào?”. Mình share: “Vaults APY 12%, nhưng allocate 1-3% thôi, hold long, DYOR MiCA risks”. Vì EU regulations có thể ảnh hưởng, nhưng code audited kỹ, community 50k Discord active. Mẹ lo “Tiền ảo rủi ro không con?”. “Backed lớn, con yield nhỏ cho tương lai mẹ ơi”.
Nắng chiều tà, nghĩ Morpho là bet on DeFi future. Không pump dump, mà infrastructure cho VN devs build. Allocate wise, DYOR, chill với nước mía bro!
Linea Surge: Weekend Thoughts with the New Burn Mechanism
A rare sunny Sunday in the rainy season of the South, I decided to be completely "lazy": lying on the sofa, using the remote to browse crypto podcasts on Spotify, ordering Grab lemon tea to chill. The host was discussing Linea, saying, "Dual-burn live already, $LINEA scarcity skyrocketing due to ETH fees." I sat up, thinking: Yes, the 2025 trend is right, L2 not only scales but also has smart tokenomics. With 4 years of experience from the VN bull market in 2021, I now only vibe with projects that genuinely solve Ethereum's pain points, like Linea – zkEVM native, 100% EVM-equivalent, gas paid in ETH instead of the native token, avoiding volatility for users.
