The end state for DeFi has always been financial infrastructure, critical for onchain interactions, but abstracted away from end users. Some people call it the DeFi mullet (TradFi in the front, DeFi in the back) or the Protocol Sink thesis (the protocols that attract the most liquidity gradually move to the bottom of the tech stack). Whatever your preferred analogy is, a few DeFi protocols will eventually form a giant, global liquidity layer on top of the Internet. And anyone can build financial products and services on top. —◇—— I don’t fault anyone who lost the plot though. It’s been hard to reconcile that end state with the bad UX and hundreds of copycat protocols trying to pump a token. But I think we can proudly call the 2018-2022 era of DeFi a big experiment, and a successful one. —◇—— Market force is converging and creating a perform storm for DeFi adoption ■ TradFi is finally acknowledging the next evolution of finance is onchain and eventually crypto market share just = market share. This time next year, I think you won't need to be a finance platform to integrate with DeFi. Finance is now a “layer” of the Internet. ——▪︎——▪︎ Thanks for reading! > Like > Comment your thoughts, and > Repost for others Also, don't hesitate to give me a follow (@4OLMD) and turn ON notification <Check out these Gigabrains> @iam_LeriK @ayyyeandy @RubiksWeb3hub @eli5_defi @Deebs_DeFi @DeFi_Creed @DeFi_Dad @0xRajaking @BrainardScoles @patfscott @Gamerabq21 @rb_investor45 @Momodudestiny3 @akazamarz

Today, we're announcing the Thrive.xyz beta, our new platform to fund the next generation of builders and deploy $10M over the next 12 months to projects creating value. Starting today, builders will have access to... 🌎 Universal Application 🏎️ Faster Approvals 📧 Email Login + Google Auth 🪙 Live Funding Activity Updates Migrate your account today, learn more below ↓

Grass on Android is here.

With the Capital Launchpad now live - head over to Yaps now to sign up! We've also added an FAQ page and will update it based on feedback and questions we see 🫡 👉 faq.yaps.kaito.ai/launchpad-…

For questions about KYC - it's simply a regulatory requirement for these to be possible - entirely managed by @Persona_IDV. Just as KYC was needed with the pump fun ICO too, and across other public sale platforms. We'll be having other styles of capital launchpad involvements too which may have other mechanisms though 🤝

Introducing the next stage of Kaito - our Capital Launchpad. A natural progression of our mission to be the distribution powerhouse of crypto. With the most in-depth social mapping and ranking across CT, and leading data analytics when it comes to project-community interactions, the next step is to further connect the two through capital - linking onchain and offchain for the most comprehensive social footprint. Later this week - the platform will go live, building a new way for projects to raise and embed communities through capital alignment - in a way that's open, meritocratic and relevance-based - as an alternative to the FCFS model. Oh and, all Capital Launchpad fees are distributed back to the wider community - more on that with our upcoming gKAITO mechanism soon 👀 A community launchpad, for the community, owned by the community. Allocations will be determined by projects, based on factors such as social reputation, onchain holdings (not only Kaito holdings), historical alignment/relevance to the project and its relevant sectors, region, conviction, and more. Projects will also set out clear round terms - valuation, raise target, vesting terms - and you'll be able to make a decision and place a deposit to pledge, based on these on how much you want to allocate. The pledges will then be reviewed by the project teams, who then assign for the Preferred Phase of the allocation, with a subsequent (optional) FCFS Phase if there is any allocation remaining. We're really excited for this next chapter of Kaito - opening up new ways for all of you to allocate to top community-centric projects, as well as giving projects a new way to bootstrap, interact, align and involve existing and potential community members. Tomorrow you’ll be able to get your account ready and KYC to be able to start participating. Not long to wait.

You don’t need an Espresso NFT to participate - though it’s a strong signal of alignment and existing engagement, so it may strengthen your pledge if you have one. If you want to connect your wallet to prove your Espresso NFT - you can do it under your account section. The analytics incorporates a wide range of data points, as mentioned in the tweet above, so many factors are taken into account!

Our Capital Launchpad is live, with our very first Initial Community Offering starting tomorrow with @espressoFNDN! ☕️ Espresso is the base layer for rollups: unlocking real-time finality, crosschain composability, and Ethereum compatibility to power the multichain future. Previous investments supporting Espresso technology totaled $50M+ and saw backing from @a16zcrypto, @ElectricCapital, @GreylockVC, @sequoia and others. Full details on the round are now available on the Capital Launchpad portal: a first-of-its-kind opportunity to participate exclusively available to the Espresso and Kaito communities. You can deposit and pledge for allocation of up to $100,000 of $ESP tokens starting at 12PM UTC tomorrow. Final allocations will be determined by the Espresso Foundation. For all future raises on Kaito, including Espresso - make sure to head over to the Capital Launchpad tab today on Yaps to complete the relevant steps including KYC to make sure you don't miss out. And for Espresso NFT holders, make sure to connect the wallet containing your Composable 👀 Note: Geographic eligibility is determined on a project-by-project basis. For the Espresso sale, participation is not available to U.S. persons and persons located in the U.S. and certain other restricted jurisdictions.

Announcing some big upcoming improvements to Yapper Leaderboards and the introduction of the gKAITO mechanism. These are built based on feedback we've seen across CT and our community to ensure sustainability, less noise, and improved quality for both users and projects. We’ll be rolling out both the updates, and the gKAITO mechanism over the next few weeks. Updates coming to Yapper Leaderboards: Introducing a reputation threshold across all YLs, measured in Yaps/Smart Followers/CT mindshare to ensure real accounts rank, to prevent AI bots, and to focus more on signal over grinding. - There will still be a dedicated section to highlight consistent, loyal, high-quality contributions across all accounts - More focus will be on growing a genuine audience and presence first as we’ve seen with various initially small accounts, which have grown significantly over time utilizing Kaito - Emphasizing interests and alignment instead of rewards to help both farmers and genuine community members - Restructuring leaderboards from a pre-/post-TGE format into category-based groupings - Building a culture of retroactive, milestone-based, and ROI-driven rewards for better provable results and more focus on genuine interest - Adding public topic leaderboards (eg stablecoin, RWA, ZK, AI) to recognize thought leaders - no direct rewards - just recognition and perks - Implementing an improved global slashing mechanism to combat misinformation, engagement farming, group farming, and low-effort AI slops Introducing the gKAITO mechanism. gKAITO as a mechanism will be built around five core pillars: Thought Leadership, Attention, Participation, Ownership, and Culture. It's designed to recognize meaningful contributions from a diverse set of stakeholders - both the Kaito ecosystem and the broader crypto space. - Thought Leadership: For those who contribute meaningfully to broader crypto conversations (Yaps) and the emerging field of InfoFi. - Attention: For those who bring new audiences to Kaito and actively evangelize the ecosystem. - Participation: For those engaged in the Kaito ecosystem - ecosystem yappers, Capital Launchpad participants, and more. - Ownership: For holders of sKAITO and certain related derivatives - Culture: For Yapybara holders and pfp users, Kaito culture builders, and active community participants gKAITO Utilities - Earn a share of platform fees - Get priority access to deals - Signal alignment with partner projects within the Kaito ecosystem - Access priority features on Kaito We’ll be sharing more details on the gKAITO mechanism as we get closer to its launch - including involvement of onchain alignment too.

400K followers ⚡️ Appreciate all of you for helping us to grow, build and improve Kaito! BIG WEEK.

It's simply way more fun to be a bull

Bitcoin currently holds over $2 trillion in value, yet about 90% of BTC supply lies dormant and idle. DeFi has been transforming other chains, like Ethereum and Solana, with innovative yields to earn rewards on crypto holdings, but Bitcoin has never been part of this. So there is an escalating demand for BTC to do more; generate yields and more reward for holders. —> And this is where Bitcoin Finance (BTCFi) comes in, through @GOATRollup Layer 2 solutions for DeFi yielding opportunities with BTC. <firstly, let's understand What #GOAT Network Is> ——▪︎——▪︎ ■ What Is GOAT Network @GOATRollup bridge the critical gap in the Bitcoin ecosystem to enable native BTC yield and programmability without relying on wrapped assets, centralized bridges, and third party custodians. This means BTC holders (like miners, institutions, and retail investors) can now earn yield without leaving Bitcoin ecosystem. —> Let’s uncover BTCFi demand and Why its time is now. ——▪︎——▪︎ ■ The Rising Demand For BTCFi Incase you ask "could this be the right time?", #BTCFi demand is right due to: ▪︎> Technical Breakthroughs: Innovations like BitVM and zkVM now make Bitcoin-native Layer 2 solutions viable, supporting forced exits and fraud proofs without changing Bitcoin consensus rules. ▪︎> Economic Readiness: With Bitcoin massive value and idle capital, holders, from miners to sovereign entities, are seeking safe, sustainable yield, especially as ETFs have made holdings more passive. ▪︎> Sustainable Architecture: @GOATRollup generates yield through real onchain activity (gas fees, MEV, dApps) rather than unsustainable token emissions, filling a trust and yield vacuum in DeFi. ——▪︎——▪︎ ■ Does Bitcoin Needs Layer 2: The Case for Programmability Bitcoin was initially designed for security and simplicity as priorities over high throughput and complex programmability. This deliberate choice ensures its robustness as the most decentralized, but with limiting trade-offs: the lacks of native mechanisms for yield generation and capital efficiency. ▪︎> Failed Attempts: Principle Violation There has been attempts to generate BTC yield which relied on centralized lending, wrapped BTC via bridges and exchange products. Many early BTCFi attempts failed due to violations of Bitcoin core principles: –> Not Bitcoin-Native in Security –> Selling Security as a Service Failed –> Unsustainable Yield Mechanisms –> Poor User Experience This caused trust and counterparty risks that contradict Bitcoin core ethos. ——▪︎——▪︎ ■ Why GOAT NETWORK Is BTC L2 Every DeFi Trader Needs? Bitcoin mission is sound money and global collateral, which already happening. @GOATRollup is fully aligned with meeting demands for native yield from institutions, sovereigns, and retail users, preserving Bitcoin monetary role. By avoiding the pitfalls of centralized sequencers, token emissions, and bridge dependencies, GOAT Network creates a self-sustaining economic loop where BTC holders earn yield without sacrificing custody or trust. —> The decentralized sequencer market and multi-asset PoS mechanism ensures long term resilience and scalability. <to round up, let me show you this important part> :) ■ Why GOAT Network Stands Out With BTCFi 1. Unlike others that rely on federations and multisigs, GOAT anchors all operations to Bitcoin L1, ensuring trustless settlement and exits. 2. Yields are generated from real economic activity (gas, MEV, dApps) rather than inflationary tokens, addressing the unsustainability of early BTCFi models. 3. @GOATRollup eliminates custody risks and systemic vulnerabilities associated with wrapped BTC. 4. GOAT is designed for accessibility, catering to retail users, degens, and institutions with a simple, non-custodial interface. 5. GOAT Network respects Bitcoin conservative L1 while enabling innovation on L2, balancing security and programmability. ——▪︎——▪︎ Don't forget to follow @GOATRollup & join the community to hop in

DeFi landscape demands a fully decentralized, permissionless and trustless data layer —> Among the ones I've seen at check out (base on my research, with obvious facts) @eoracle_network OVS had been proven (both in use/integration and technically) as next-gen innovation focused oracle standard Every builders and developers should consider eOracle, for limitless data feeds to their smart contracts
