. @HyperliquidX hit $248 billion in volume in May, an all-time high. Impressive, but not surprising. 

In Q1, it crossed $555 billion in trading volume - up 105% QoQ, despite multiple trading exploits.

@0xFishinChaos went stats-diving and here’s what he’s netted. 🧵

Are there any altcoins worth buying?

The State of Crypto x AI with Travis Good from Ambient

Crypto tech has always been a headache for the average Joe. Extension installations, clunky UIs, slow bridges, and navigating multiple chains at once have long been a part and parcel of the drill.

Imagine having everything accessible under one roof on your phone. A sleek, intuitive mobile experience isn’t a bonus anymore, it’s the bare minimum.

That's exactly where fomo fits into the picture.

With instantaneous gasless transactions, coupled with copy trading, leaderboards, and other social media–esque features, fomo transforms trading into a social experience by equipping you with all essential tools.

If you’re looking to make your trading life 10x easier, Krix’s article below has you covered.

Transparency was supposed to build trust, not strip away our privacy. Somewhere along the way, the tradeoff became one-sided.

Privacy isn’t about hiding wrongdoing. It’s about protecting what’s personal, and Umbra restores that.

It enables private crypto transfers by keeping sensitive details off the public ledger, while preserving the integrity of the chain.

Not a lot of projects are focussing on the privacy aspect at the minute. Umbra is ahead of the curve, and Emiri feels you should be keeping tabs on this one.

If this week felt like a sprint and your brain's still buffering like mine, this thread will plug you back in.

Here's your weekly recap of CT drama, market moves, and narrative shifts. Keep scrolling. 🧵

Hyperliquid is unarguably the gold standard for on-chain exchanges.

→ 100k+ orders per second
→ Over $10 billion in open interest, with a $3.5 billion USDC TVL
→ And millions in revenue generated daily

The introduction of HIP-3 means things are about to get even more exciting, imo.

If you still don’t know your way around, Ollie is here to guide you.

CEXes want a piece of on-chain action, and they’re not waiting for an invite. Bybit just got into the ring with Byreal on Solana.

The game's changing and Emiri is here to decipher it all for you. 🧵

The DeFi lending sector has been showing great promise, especially over the last two years. The ~127% CAGR speaks for itself.

In this whirling space, Altitude is carving out a place by automating loan management and optimizing borrowing rates while generating yield with idle capital.

We already did a livestream with them on Monday, but if you want a closer look into how this protocol is trying to cement its position in the lending sector, head straight to Emiri's article linked below.

We’ve penned an explainer report on Hyperliquid Improvement Proposal 3 (HIP-3).

In the most basic essence, this alpha-numeric acronym enables anyone to create a perps market, turning Hyperliquid from a decentralized exchange into a permissionless financial infrastructure layer.

If you’re keen to understand the technical nuances, how this all plays out, and what it means for you and your bags, check this one out or bookmark it for later.

Around 80% of DeFi users fall victim to the fragmented nature of the industry with 123 different chains having 2374 different yield farms. Not real numbers, but you get the point - it's a major problem.

On the menu today is INFINIT, a project trying make DeFi simple with the help of agents. Capabilities such as adaptive intelligence drive smarter, more efficient, and personalized task executions.

In this one, Ollie looks into the platform, their product suite, and how it's becoming a one-stop shop for DeFi.

Why @AltitudeFi_ is the DeFi Loan Optimizer

AIエージェントはすでに銀行振込、戦略の計画、資産の取引、契約の締結を行っています。しかし、何かがうまくいかないとき、誰が責任を持っているのかは完全には明らかではありません。

現在の法執行システムはやや時代遅れです。AIを方程式に統合することは、システムを完全に圧倒する保証された方法です。

国境を越えて運営されるデジタル裁判所を想像してみてください。人間とAIシステムの間の紛争を解決し、24時間年中無休で運営されます。

GenLayerのデジタル裁判システムは、楽観的な民主主義、インテリジェントコントラクト、等価原理、陪審理論などを使用して、オンチェーン上で紛争を簡単に整理します。そしてKrixがこれについての新しいレポートを作成しました。

以下の記事では、判決-控訴プロセスと、GenLayerがどのようにこれを実践で機能させているのかを詳しく解説しています。

We're gonna be doing a livestream with Tobias from Altitude on Monday.

TL;DR: Altitude streamlines DeFi lending by automating loan management and optimizing borrowing rates, tapping into a $54 billion market that's only getting bigger.

We'll be chatting about parallel farming, how Altitude is streamlining user flow, and get into other technical know-hows of the lending platform.

Mark your calendars and tune in!

Shitcoin Church: HyperEVM Plays, Dip for Buying? CLOB Wars

98%. That’s the share of Shadow’s lifetime volume and revenue that comes from concentrated liquidity positions, a pretty crazy effort for any AMM.

As if that wasn’t enough, Shadow now accounts for 50–60% of Sonic’s DEX volume and 85% of its fees, showing strong traction across the board.

Its decaying fee structure, aligned tokenomics, and incentive sharing model are all quite clearly delivering results.

This is a testament to how intentional design can deliver tangible results in a short time, and Ollie feels it deserves your attention.

Restaking is a $12.5 billion sector, accounting for 0.37% of the global crypto market cap.

The total value locked in restaking protocols has grown by 41% from mid-April's lows and currently sits at $19.27 billion.

With ETH ETF staking proposals awaiting formal approval, there seems to be scope for further growth.

@ollieblocmates got curious and dived into the restaking meta, why it’s making a comeback, and what staked ETH ETFs might mean for restaking platforms.

https://t.co/YjyHZDGqej は、40億ドルの評価額で10億ドルのトークンセールを実施しようとしています。これは、暗号歴史上3番目に大きなICOとなるのに十分です。

オリーは、歴代のトップ10の資金調達をまとめたインフォグラフィックを作成し、より多くの文脈を提供しています。

いくつかの初期の恐竜プロジェクトは、大規模な資本を引き付けたにもかかわらず、そのピークから消えてしまったのは驚くべきことです。

大きな資金調達をすることが必ずしも大きく居続けることを意味するわけではありません。実際、それが「評価額に見合うこと」の厳しい部分が始まる時です。そして、https://t.co/YjyHZDGqej にとって、その試金石はちょうど始まったばかりです。

Fogoメインネットは2025年第3四半期にローンチされる予定で、私たちは自分たちの利益のためにもあなたのためにもレポートを書くことにしました。

Solanaは、私たちが持っている中で最も速く、高使用率のブロックチェーンです。これは、Nasdaqの暗号版になるという最終目標にとって好ましいですが、まだ長い道のりがあります。

しかし、新しい仲間が登場しました。それがFogoです。

このL1ブロックチェーンは、現在のブロックチェーンエコシステムを悩ませている遅延、スループット、および混雑の問題を解決することを目指しています。

怠けずに、ただ読んでください。@defi_gazは素晴らしい仕事をしました。
