Ondo’s Sui upcoming integration will bring native access to new tokenized assets such as treasuries, securities, and stablecoins on chain

Sui, the Layer 1 blockchain which has experienced explosive growth since its inception eight months ago, today announced that Ondo Finance is expanding into the Sui ecosystem. The expansion will bring Sui Network’s first native dollar-denominated token (including stablecoins and interest-bearing stablecoin substitutes) in the form of Ondo USD Yield or “USDY” — a US treasury-backed and interest-bearing token issued by Ondo. 

Ondo’s expansion to Sui adds to Sui’s blistering DeFi momentum, demonstrating the growth and demand for financial applications and native functionality on chain. Sui’s DeFi volume is up more than 1200% since October and Sui recently broke into the top 10 DeFi ecosystems as measured by TVL. 

Ondo Finance is the third-largest platform bringing tokenized derivatives of real-world assets onto public blockchains with $185M in TVL and over $1B worth of its newly-launched governance token trading in its first week in late January. In addition to stablecoins, Ondo’s flagship Treasury-backed tokens, tokenized securities, and real-world assets will create countless new opportunities for teams building on Sui. 

Ondo’s expansion into the Sui ecosystem also continues a trend of top projects affirmatively choosing to integrate into Sui. For example, in December 2023, leading Solana lending protocol Solend announced it would launch a lending protocol native to Sui and decentralized derivatives exchange Bluefin likewise shuttered its V1 Arbitrum implementation to focus entirely on Sui. 

“The people who interact with our platform want fast and efficient transactions, which should be essential for any blockchain project,” said Ondo’s founder and chief executive officer, Nathan Allman. “Sui’s growth and network performance offer clear confirmation that its network is the perfect fit for Ondo’s ecosystem.”

Tokenized treasury offerings represent tradable tokens backed by real-world assets, and their presence on Sui is a significant step toward growing DeFi in the ecosystem and across the industry.

“Ondo is an amazing addition to the Sui ecosystem, providing a native yield-bearing stablecoin-like asset that will unlock new opportunities for Sui’s builders and developers and essential new functionality for the users of their applications,” said Greg Siourounis, Managing Director of the Sui Foundation. “Sui’s DeFi volume is already growing at a remarkable rate and Ondo’s participation will make that trajectory even stronger. I am excited to see how Sui’s community leverages the real-world assets and innovative financial products Ondo offers.”

The Swiss-based platform Skyline Digital empowers underbanked Web3 Businesses, Founders, and DAOs to access third-party fiat payments, OTC trades, tokenized real-world assets, vIBANs, and on/off-ramping.

Web3 Businesses, DAOs, and High Net Worth Individuals find themselves underserved by traditional banks, while custodial and centralized crypto exchanges pose risks and unreliability. Skyline Digital has made it a mission to solve these issues at the core of Web3 business with its non-custodial platform, providing access to TradFi services directly from any wallet. 

Switzerland is the crypto-friendly home base of Skyline Digital, from where it operates as a regulated financial intermediary and VASP. From there, Skyline Digital facilitates a variety of financial activities, including third-party payments, OTC trades, vIBANs, on and off-ramping, and tokenized real-world assets such as US treasury bills.

Skyline Digital’s suite of services addresses the needs of Web3 organizations, including business expenses, contractor payments, or service provider transactions. So far, customers have utilized the platform for different types of transactions, including real estate investments, paying legal fees, purchasing a Tesla, and hiring contractors on a global scale.

The platform’s integration with Web3 liquidity providers and traditional finance institutions allows it to act as a payment facilitator, handling the exchange and payment from and to any major stablecoin and fiat currency (EUR, USD, CHF, GBP, SGD). Onboarded customers can directly process transactions from their Metamask, Safe, Ledger, or other wallets, bypassing the intricacies associated with traditional banking intermediaries. Last month, the platform extended the integration to Polygon Mainnet, and now users can choose between that network and Ethereum.

“For Web3 professionals, the boundary between TradFi and DeFi remained practically impenetrable. Bridging on-chain assets to the real world posed significant challenges, especially for Unincorporated DAOs, due to their lack of a legal entity. We can process single and batch transactions directly from our client’s Web3 wallets. The alternative is a cumbersome and costly combination of centralized exchange and bank transactions, which all require custody of your assets and bear substantial fees.” says Sebastião Queiroz e Mello, co-founder and CEO of Skyline Digital.

A distinct feature of Skyline Digital is its accessibility to the traditional investor market. Traditional investors can subscribe to Web3 fundraises through bank transfers without needing a wallet or technical sophistication. 

Additionally, for Web3 businesses, Skyline Digital simplifies accounting reconciliation by providing detailed descriptions and tracking of on-chain and fiat payments.

Skyline Digital also offers customers crypto-to-crypto batch payments free of charge, contrasting its competitors, which charge up to 9000 USD annually, coupled with a 0.2% to 0.5% charge applied to each batch payment. Skyline Digital charges 1% and 10 USD per fiat payment without onboarding or monthly fees.

The platform went live in early 2023 and provides its rails also via API, while working with partners to make it accessible through main Web3 infrastructure tools and platforms. This year, Skyline Digital will roll out new TradFi and DeFi features, such as invoicing functionality, cards, and loans. To date, Skyline services some of the industry’s most well-known DAOs and businesses.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, February 6th, 2024, Chainwire

After a period of tranquility, the Ethereum ecosystem is gradually regaining momentum with the rise of the Restaking. As seasoned DeFi participants, DeSyn has consistently focused on developing the Ethereum network. Previously, DeSyn initiated the launch of the 3x ETH Leveraged ETF based on sharp market insights, aiming to promote diversity in Ethereum network products and assist users in maximizing their returns within the Ethereum ecosystem.

Today, DeSyn announces the launching of the DeSyn ETH Restaking Fund I( 3x Points), dedicated to participating in this industry revolution alongside ecosystems such as Eigenlayer and Renzo, collectively shaping the future of DeFi.

The DeSyn ETH Restaking Fund I( 3x Points), drETH in short, is an open-end fund product introduced by Little Frog, a professional decentralized asset management DAO organization based on the infrastructure of the DeSyn platform. This product integrates DeSyn and other two highly acclaimed restaking platforms, Eigenlayer and Renzo. Users can stake ETH, stETH, wETH, and ezETH through the DeSyn platform. The fund supports on-demand withdrawals and offers the existing APY from LST and LRT and the triple yield expectations from Eigenlayer, Renzo, and DeSyn. Currently, this fund’s APY ranges from 3.6% to 60%. In terms of security, DeSyn solemnly declares that all contract codes have undergone security audits to ensure the safety of user assets.

https://little-frog.gitbook.io/little-frog/products/open-end-desyn-eth-restaking-fund-i-3x-points

How to restake?

Users can navigate to Desyn’s website and select the “restaking” option to access the DeSyn ETH Restaking Fund I (3x Points) issue. Upon selection, users have the opportunity to acquire drETH, associated with the potential of triple returns.

https://www.desyn.io/#/pool/0x8F92265FE1F875d1985cD9D4275dd4Cfec9eb1E7

Enhanced Incentives through Triple-Point Staking with DeSyn

As mentioned earlier, opting for the fund not only grants potentially basic LST and LRT returns but also yields triple points from Eigenlayer, Renzo, and DeSyn.

DeSyn is committed to maximizing incentives for staking users. Starting from February 6, 2024, any user participating in this Fund can earn corresponding points, dependent on the staking amount and duration.

• DeSyn Points Formula: DeSyn points = (Amount of LST) * Number of staked days * 10,000
• Eigenlayer Points Guide can be found here.
• Renzo Points Guide can be found here.

EigenLayer: Elevating Ethereum Security through Restaking

EigenLayer is a protocol built on Ethereum that introduces restaking, a new primitive in crypto-economic security. This primitive enables the reuse of ETH on the consensus layer. Users that stake ETH natively or with a liquid staking token (LST) can opt-in to EigenLayer smart contracts to restake their ETH or LST and extend crypto-economic security to additional applications on the network to earn additional rewards.

Users can learn more by visiting EigenLayer’s official website.

Renzo: Pioneering Restaking on the EigenLayer Mainnet

Renzo is the first native restaking protocol to launch on the EigenLayer mainnet. Although EigenLayer will not begin securing Actively Validated Services (AVSs) I.e. EigenDA until mid-2024, they have been accepting deposits. Deposits for Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) are capped; however, native ETH deposits remain uncapped but very difficult for most users to access. They require a user to have 32 ETH and run an Ethereum node that is integrated with EigenLayer to run EigenPods.

Users can learn more by visiting Renzo’s official website.

About DeSyn

DeSyn Protocol is an innovative decentralized asset management infrastructure on Web 3, empowering users to securely and transparently create and manage customized pool-based portfolios with various on-chain assets (tokens, NFTs, derivatives, etc.) via smart contract.

Lista DAO, a key player in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) with a specialization in Collateralized Debt Position (CDP) and Liquid Staking, is set to captivate the cryptocurrency community through the unveiling of its Cosmic Adventure Challenge (CAC) and the introduction of lisBNB.

The CAC promises an immersive and rewarding experience, providing participants with the opportunity to earn stardust and secure a share of the highly anticipated LISTA airdrop. Simultaneously, lisBNB, a tokenized version of staked BNB, is positioned to revolutionize DeFi strategies within the Lista DAO ecosystem.

Cosmic Adventure Challenge (CAC) Overview

The CAC, Lista’s flagship point system campaign, commences on February 5th, 2024, participating in the recent trend of gamified DeFi engagement. Challengers, participants in this campaign, can embark on quests across the BNB Smart Chain, completing tasks such as providing Total Value Locked (TVL) on Lista, borrowing lisUSD on Lista, and participating in liquidity provision and trading volume generation. Season 1 runs from February 5th, 00:00 UTC+0, to February 29th, 23:59 UTC+0, with Lista confirming a 2% airdrop allocation of the LISTA token for CAC participants.

Engaging in both Season 1 and Season 2 offers participants loyalty rewards in the form of bonus stardust. Stardust, earned through completing quests, contributes to rankings and percentiles, determining the LISTA airdrop allocation for each challenger.

Dashboards on Lista’s Dapp provide daily stardust tracking, ensuring transparency and competitiveness. Loyalty incentives encourage early participation, enabling users to carry over stardust from Season 1 to Season 2. The much-anticipated Lista airdrop allocation, following a USD 10 Million Binance Labs investment in August 2023, is poised for high success.

Strategic Decisions

Concurrently with the CAC launch, Lista DAO announces the postponement of its Ethereum Mainnet launch. This strategic decision prioritizes the successful CAC campaign rollout and meticulous rebranding slated for February 5th. The pause in transitioning to Liquity’s codebase underscores Lista DAO’s commitment to building a robust foundation for the eventual expansion to the Ethereum Mainnet.

More details of this announcement can be found here.

Introduction of lisBNB

Lista DAO introduces lisBNB, a stablecoin loosely pegged to BNB, offering stability within the ecosystem. While not yield-bearing, lisBNB enhances the capital efficiency of ListaDAO’s DeFi strategies. The launch date for lisBNB will be communicated through social media channels.

Quotes

Lista DAO’s marketing team emphasized, “The Cosmic Adventure Challenge marks a pivotal moment for Lista DAO, aligning with our commitment to innovation and user-centric DeFi solutions. We invite the crypto community to join us on this exciting journey.”

The Taraxa Protocol Foundation has launched a $10 million Grant Program to drive growth in Taraxa’s unique EVM-compatible blockDAG Layer-1 ecosystem, after an overwhelmingly successful on-chain governance approval. 

The Taraxa Grant Program is open to any individual, team, and organizations of any type. Funds will be granted specifically for technical development with an emphasis on driving usage and growth within the Taraxa ecosystem, and are disbursed according to quantifiable milestones. 

Building on Taraxa presents a unique opportunity for developers to experience the benefits of the world’s first and only native EVM-compatible decentralized network built with the blockDAG architecture. Here are just a few of the reasons why builders should consider building the next big idea on Taraxa, 

• An unique opportunity to Build on blockDAG: blockDAG is the next evolutionary step up from block-chain, able to achieve stunning throughput and low latency without sacrificing security and decentralization by enabling parallel block processing on the network instead of just one block at a time. 
• True EVM Compatibility: any dApp that works on Ethereum just works on Taraxa, no need to learn new languages, frameworks, or tooling.
• Fast & Low-Cost: with peak throughput of 5k TPS, sub-second block times, instant block inclusion, and under 4-second finalization, working on Taraxa is fast & smooth, with each transaction costing next to nothing.  
• True Finality: zero risk of transactions being reversed, Taraxa’s True Finality guarantees that when a transaction is finalized (under 4 seconds), it is finalized forever. 
• Front-Running Prevention: Taraxa’s architecture and speed minimize and fragment the network’s mem pool, making it almost impossible and definitively unprofitable for DeFi transactions to be targeted for front-running. 
• Supportive Community: Taraxa’s community is highly engaged and the development team is helpful to a fault. Not only will the user be building on a network backed by the best technology in the world, but he will also receive the full support, attention, and participation from Taraxa’s community!

The upcoming Ficus Root Bridge in mid-2024 further strengthens the Taraxa ecosystem’s utility, asset diversity, and cross-chain liquidity. DeFi builders don’t have to worry about fragmented assets or liquidity, since they flow seamlessly between Ethereum and Taraxa. The bridge, coupled with Taraxa’s fast, low-cost and natively EVM-compatibility, make Taraxa a natural Layer-2 solution for dApps or consensus layer for rollups. 

Developers can apply to the Taraxa Grant Program today and pitch their ideas on how to creatively leverage decentralization to solve problems!

About Taraxa

Founded by two Stanford engineers in 2018, Taraxa is an EVM-compatible smart contract platform based on t-Graph consensus utilizing blockDAG, with many world-first technical innovations on top of the blockDAG architecture. After launching its mainnet in 2023, Taraxa represents the next evolutionary step in decentralized networks.
