Token Launch Expectations Are High, Ecosystem Is Stirring
Author: Tofu, Deep Tide TechFlow; Harvey, Monad
As various long-dormant projects begin to launch tokens, the market's interest in airdrops has been reignited.
The wealth creation effects of major projects like Movement, Magic Eden, and Pudgy Penguins have fully mobilized market expectations for this round of token launches, with many turning their attention to high-quality projects that are about to issue tokens.
Among the many projects yet to launch tokens, Monad, a leading L1 blockchain with a parallel EVM narrative, is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated star projects in the market. The massive $244 million financing has also heightened expectations for Monad's mainnet launch.
On December 17, Monad announced the establishment of a foundation, further increasing market anticipation for Monad's upcoming token launch. With the official testnet yet to go live, paying early attention to and participating in projects related to Monad may yield benefits when the mainnet launches.
Currently, there are many officially announced projects building on Monad, many of which are cross-chain, as well as several that are native. Given that there are already many introductions or reviews of Monad ecosystem projects in the market.
This time, the Deep Tide TechFlow editorial team has organized some Monad native projects and potential participation methods for readers' reference.
The specifics are as follows; we will select some projects for interpretation and keep updates ongoing.
Project Introduction
1. DeFi Facilities
aPriori - Liquidity Staking Platform
aPriori is a MEV-driven liquidity staking platform native to the Monad ecosystem, aimed at optimizing Monad's network performance and user experience by developing new MEV and liquidity staking architectures. Its innovative probability verification design significantly reduces latency and maximizes compatibility with Monad's high performance.
After several rounds of financing, aPriori has raised a total of $10.7 million.
Team members come from professional trading backgrounds, with founder Ray S previously working at Jump Crypto and Flow Traders, and also participating as an ecosystem contributor in the construction of Pyth Network. Co-Founder Olivia Z was a senior software engineer at Coinbase.
Participation Method:
Previously, aPriori officially released the first community task, which is to post creative articles, videos, memes, or research articles related to aPriori on Twitter and tag @aprMEV, sending the link to the official designated Discord channel. Excellent tweets will be adopted and the creators will be granted a special role.
Before the project officially launches, you can join the aPriori Official Discord to learn about the team's latest developments.
Kintsu - Liquidity Staking Protocol
Kintsu is a liquidity staking protocol native to Monad, attempting to solve the liquidity issues in traditional PoS staking, providing users with a more flexible and valuable staking method that allows them to fully utilize their assets while ensuring fund security.
The term Kintsu comes from the Japanese word "金继" (Kintsugi), which is a traditional Japanese art form of repairing broken pottery. Just like Kintsugi repairs broken pottery, Kintsu is described as "the golden line that repairs liquidity fractures," aiming to "repair" the "fractures" in the blockchain ecosystem, suggesting that the Kintsu protocol can resolve the contradictions between staking and liquidity in PoS blockchains.
Kintsu has announced a $4 million financing round led by Castle Island Ventures.
