Topics of Crypto World

Captured in the moment. Looking back, it's incredible to see how far we've come, but even more meaningful to know we didn't get here alone. To everyone who has believed in us and grown with us, thank you. Here's to the memories we've created, and the many more we'll build together!

Dfinity (ICP) is a blockchain network centered around the Internet Computer, designed to run applications and services directly through decentralized computing and storage.

SOON leverages the SVM Rollup architecture to decouple transaction execution, state updates, and on-chain settlement, enabling a high-performance execution flow from user submission to final confirmation.

Helium (HNT) is the core token of the Helium decentralized wireless network. It is used to incentivize node operators, support network operations, and drive ecosystem growth. With the rise of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN), HNT has emerged as a key model connecting real-world infrastructure with blockchain-based incentives.

SOON tokens serve as the primary asset within the execution layer network, facilitating transaction fee payments, securing staking, enabling governance participation, and powering ecosystem incentives. The network's operations are sustained by a clearly defined allocation and inflation model.

SOON is an execution layer network built on the SVM Rollup architecture, integrating the Solana execution environment into modular blockchains to deliver high-performance computing and seamless cross-ecosystem interoperability.

Helium (HNT) is a blockchain-based infrastructure protocol designed to build decentralized wireless communication networks. By allowing communities to deploy Hotspot nodes, it provides wireless coverage and data transmission services. As Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) continue to evolve, Helium has been widely applied in scenarios such as IoT connectivity, WiFi expansion, and mobile communications.

Helium (HNT) is a blockchain-based infrastructure token designed to power decentralized wireless communication networks. By allowing communities to deploy wireless nodes, it provides connectivity for IoT devices and mobile networks. As Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) continue to grow, Helium is increasingly used in IoT communication, smart cities, and mobile networking scenarios.

Pendle and Notional are two major protocols in the DeFi fixed income sector, each built on distinct yield mechanisms. Pendle introduces a yield tokenization model using PT and YT, allowing users to access fixed returns or trade future yield. Notional, by contrast, enables users to lock in borrowing and lending rates through fixed-rate markets. In comparison, Pendle is better suited for yield asset management and interest rate trading, while Notional focuses on fixed-rate lending scenarios. Together, they are advancing the development of DeFi fixed income, though they differ in product structure, liquidity design, and target users.

Ethena (ENA) is a decentralized stablecoin protocol leveraging a derivative hedge mechanism. It aims to create a stable asset, USDe, without relying on traditional fiat reserves by hedging on-chain assets and derivatives marketplaces. As stablecoins become more integral to the DeFi ecosystem, Ethena introduces a novel stabilization approach that differs from both fiat-collateralized and over-collateralized stablecoins.

Ethena is a synthetic dollar protocol built on Ethereum. Its core stablecoin, USDe, maintains price stability using a delta-neutral hedging mechanism. Unlike traditional stablecoins that depend on fiat reserves, Ethena achieves stability by holding crypto assets and opening derivative short positions to hedge against price volatility.

Ethena (ENA) serves as the primary governance token within the Ethena protocol, playing a central role in protocol governance, ecosystem incentives, and network security. Unlike tokens intended exclusively for Trade or payments, ENA is specifically structured to prioritize governance and ecosystem coordination, establishing it as a vital element of the Ethena ecosystem.

Pendle splits yield-bearing assets into PT (Principal Tokens) and YT (Yield Tokens), enabling a variety of strategies such as fixed income, yield enhancement, and risk management. Users can lock in fixed returns by purchasing discounted PT, speculate on rising yields by buying YT, or secure current returns by selling YT. Through these mechanisms, Pendle creates a flexible on-chain yield marketplace where users can tailor strategies based on their risk preferences and manage returns more efficiently within DeFi.

Pendle delivers fixed yield by splitting yield bearing assets into Principal Tokens, PT, and Yield Tokens, YT. Users can buy PT at a discount and redeem it at face value on maturity, locking in a fixed rate of return. At the same time, YT represents the right to future yield and can be traded separately. Through this yield splitting mechanism, Pendle creates an onchain interest rate market that makes fixed income, yield speculation, and interest rate risk management possible in DeFi, making it a key piece of infrastructure in DeFi’s fixed income sector.

Pendle’s PT and YT are the two core yield tokens within the Pendle protocol. PT, or Principal Token, represents the principal portion of a yield bearing asset and usually trades at a discount before being redeemed at face value upon maturity. YT, or Yield Token, represents the right to the asset’s future yield and can be used to trade expectations around future returns. By splitting yield bearing assets into PT and YT, Pendle creates a yield trading market in DeFi, allowing users to lock in fixed returns, speculate on yield changes, and manage yield risk.
