For years, Bitcoin has been the largest pool of idle collateral in crypto: massive in market cap, but structurally passive. The rise of native BTC staking via Babylon begins to change that by letting holders lock coins directly on Bitcoin to secure proof-of-stake networks and earn rewards, without wrapping or moving their BTC off-chain. Lorenzo takes the next step. It turns those Babylon-based staking positions into liquid, composable assets that can move across multiple chains, effectively upgrading staked BTC into a cross-ecosystem liquidity layer rather than a static bond.
At the base of this stack sits Babylon’s Bitcoin staking protocol. Technically, it allows users to lock BTC in time-locked transactions on the Bitcoin chain while using cryptographic proofs and slashing logic to extend Bitcoin’s economic security to other networks. These networks — often called Bitcoin-secured or Bitcoin-validated systems — tap into BTC as a staking asset, gaining stronger guarantees than they could get from their own native tokens alone. For BTC holders, this means they can participate in securing multiple chains while keeping keys and coins on Bitcoin itself, rather than pushing them through bridges or custodial wrappers.
The trade-off, of course, is liquidity. Native staking is inherently lockup-heavy: coins are time-locked, withdrawals are delayed, and stakers are exposed to the risk that their positions are stuck just when they want to rotate. That is where Lorenzo’s design becomes important. Lorenzo plugs into Babylon’s staking layer and tokenizes these locked BTC positions into liquid representations that can move freely on faster smart-contract environments. In other words, Babylon handles cryptoeconomic security at the Bitcoin level, while Lorenzo handles capital efficiency and composability at the multi-chain level.
The core instrument in this architecture is a liquid restaking token commonly referred to as stBTC. When a user stakes BTC through Lorenzo into Babylon’s vaults, the protocol mints stBTC to represent that staked position. This token is designed to stay closely linked to the underlying BTC, while also reflecting accumulated staking rewards over time. It behaves like a receipt for the locked Bitcoin plus its evolving yield stream, giving stakers something they can actually use across DeFi instead of a static claim buried in a staking dashboard.
Under the hood, Lorenzo often goes further with a dual-token structure that separates principal and yield. One token tracks the underlying staked principal, while another tracks the accumulating rewards. This split allows more sophisticated strategies: users can hold or deploy the principal token as pristine BTC-backed collateral, while treating the yield token as a higher-beta instrument that can be traded, hedged or used in structured products. For risk managers and builders, this offers much more flexibility than a single monolithic asset that tries to represent everything at once.
Once stBTC is minted, the real magic is what happens off the Bitcoin base layer. Lorenzo positions itself as a Bitcoin liquidity fabric that can interface with many chains at once. It deploys its tokens and smart contracts to a growing set of networks, so that a single staked BTC position on Babylon can power lending, trading, liquidity provision and other use-cases on a wide range of environments. Instead of choosing between “stake for yield” or “bridge for DeFi”, holders can effectively do both through one entry point, with Lorenzo acting as the router between native security and multi-chain utility.
For the chains that plug into this system, the benefits are twofold. On one side, Babylon gives them access to BTC as a staking asset and a source of shared security. On the other, Lorenzo channels BTC-denominated liquidity into their local DeFi stacks via stBTC and related tokens. A network can tap into Bitcoin’s economic weight for consensus and, at the same time, offer deep BTC-based collateral pools for loans, derivatives or liquidity pools — all without forcing users to custody their BTC with a centralized intermediary.
This architecture is especially relevant in a world where fragmented wrappers have become a problem. Historically, every chain or bridge that wanted “BTC in DeFi” issued its own version of wrapped bitcoin, creating a zoo of partially interchangeable assets with different trust assumptions. Lorenzo’s approach is to anchor everything on a single, clear origin: BTC staked via Babylon’s native mechanism. The resulting liquid token can then be exported to many environments, so integrations share one canonical representation of staked Bitcoin rather than proliferating incompatible copies.
From the user’s perspective, this turns BTC into something closer to a programmable income-generating bond. A holder locks coins on Bitcoin, receives a liquid token in return, and then chooses how aggressively to reuse that token across chains. Conservative users might simply park stBTC in low-risk lending markets or hold it as yield-bearing collateral. More advanced users can loop positions, provide concentrated liquidity, or use yield tokens in structured products, all while their original stake continues to secure multiple networks via Babylon. The same unit of capital now participates in security, liquidity and credit simultaneously.
Risk, however, does not disappear; it is redistributed. Lorenzo has to design for smart-contract risk, cross-chain messaging risk and liquidity risk around its tokens, even if Babylon itself avoids bridges at the BTC layer. That means rigorous contract security, conservative integration standards and clear redemption paths back to native BTC. The promise of a multi-chain liquidity layer only holds if users can reliably move from stBTC to underlying Bitcoin and if liquid markets exist across the networks where these tokens circulate. Without that, the abstraction would be elegant on paper but fragile in practice.
On the supply side, aggregated BTC staking via Lorenzo also changes bargaining power. Instead of many small pockets of BTC negotiating separately with chains or apps, Lorenzo can represent a significant block of restaked Bitcoin and route it to whichever opportunities offer the best mix of yield and safety. PoS networks that want access to BTC-based security and liquidity effectively compete for a share of this pool, potentially pushing them toward clearer incentives, better rewards and stronger commitments around slashing and governance. In this sense, Lorenzo acts as a kind of capital allocator on behalf of BTC holders.
For builders, the existence of a standardized, yield-bearing BTC primitive is a powerful unlock. Instead of designing bespoke integrations for every new wrapper, they can design around stBTC and its related tokens as base building blocks. A lending market can support it as tier-one collateral, a derivatives venue can use it as margin, a yield aggregator can route between different stBTC strategies, and a payments app can treat it as a BTC-like asset with embedded income. Composability emerges not just from open code, but from the fact that everyone is speaking the same “Bitcoin in DeFi” language.
Zooming out, the Lorenzo–Babylon stack hints at a different relationship between Bitcoin and the rest of crypto. Instead of being a passive store of value sitting on the sidelines while other chains experiment, BTC becomes the anchor collateral that secures and liquefies a wide range of systems. Native staking ensures that the trust root stays on Bitcoin; liquid tokenization ensures that capital is not stuck in that role alone. The result is a more tightly coupled ecosystem, where Bitcoin’s monetary premium and other chains’ expressiveness reinforce each other rather than compete.
In the long run, whether Lorenzo’s model succeeds will depend on execution: the robustness of Babylon’s staking design, the safety and UX of Lorenzo’s tokenization and multi-chain deployments, and the depth of integrations that give stBTC real utility beyond speculation. But the direction is clear. Turning Babylon-based BTC staking into a composable multi-chain liquidity layer is an attempt to make Bitcoin not just the asset that everything is measured against, but also the fuel that quietly powers the security and capital flows of the broader onchain economy. If that vision holds, one staked bitcoin could soon be doing far more than just sitting in a vault — it could be the backbone of an evolving, interconnected financial stack.

When you start issuing hundreds of different soulbound tokens for quests, tournaments, events and community work, you quickly run into a paradox: reputation becomes richer, but also harder to read. A wallet full of badges clearly says “this player has history”, yet it does not immediately tell you what kind of player this is. Designing a unified reputation score for YGG is about solving this tension – giving partners and guilds a simple signal they can use at scale, without flattening players into a single, shallow number.
In the current model, YGG’s soulbound tokens are non-transferable achievement badges that capture onchain actions across quest programs, advancement tracks and onchain guild activity. They record things like campaign completions, game-specific milestones, event participation and meaningful contributions to guild life. Together with progression systems that translate activity into experience points, they already form a robust foundation for web3 reputation: a permanent, verifiable trail of what players have actually done, not just what they claim.
The problem appears when we try to summarize all of this richness into “one score”. Simple approaches – counting SBTs, summing XP, tallying completed quests – immediately bias the system toward grinders, generalists or players who happened to join earlier. They also ignore intensity and context: winning a high-level tournament and liking a few posts could end up looking similar if both are represented as a single badge. So the first design decision is to accept that a naive aggregate is not good enough; the unified score must be built on a more expressive internal model.
A better way to think about reputation is as a vector instead of a scalar. Under the hood, each player can have multiple dimensions: skill in different genres, consistency over time, social contribution, reliability in guild commitments, experimental behavior in trying new titles, leadership in coordination roles and so on. The “unified score” that appears on a profile is then just the visible tip of this structure, a compressed summary that is always backed by a richer, multi-axis view which partners and advanced tools can query when they need nuance.
To get there, every YGG SBT needs to be classified and mapped into that vector space. Badges can carry structured metadata: quest category, difficulty tier, role (leader, support, content creator, tester), context (solo, squad, guild-wide), and whether the action was competitive, cooperative or exploratory. Onchain guild protocol data and existing progression frameworks already embed many of these distinctions: badges from advancement programs, superquests and guild activities clearly signal different kinds of contribution. A scoring engine can use this metadata to translate each SBT into weighted impacts on the relevant dimensions.
Once SBTs are mapped into dimensions, the system can build a layered score. At the top sits a single composite value – something easy to sort and filter with, used by matchmaking, campaign whitelists or simple dashboards. Beneath that are category scores (for example, “team play”, “long-term commitment”, “strategic depth”, “community building”), each derived from different subsets of badges and XP. The unified score is computed from these components, but the user interface never hides the breakdown; instead, it encourages players and partners to look at the different axes when making nuanced decisions.
Time is another critical ingredient. A badge earned three years ago should not carry the same predictive power as a similar badge from last month, yet it should not be discarded either. The unified score can apply a controlled time decay, where the influence of SBTs gradually decreases unless reinforced by similar recent behavior. Legacy achievements become “foundational” weight, while ongoing activity provides the fresh signal. This protects long-serving members from being reset to zero, but still ensures that active, current engagement is what drives access to the most competitive or sensitive opportunities.
Context-aware scoring helps avoid punishing specialists or forcing everyone into the same mold. For example, a player who focuses almost exclusively on strategy titles and long campaigns should not look “worse” than someone who jumps between dozens of games, simply because they have fewer distinct badge types. The reputation engine can build per-context subscores – by genre, by role, by type of quest – and only compare players within similar cohorts when needed. The unified number is still there, but it is always accompanied by the context that explains where it comes from.
Guild membership adds another layer. Onchain guilds already tie individual achievements to collective identities: guild badges, shared quests and coordinated events all show up as SBTs that belong both to the person and to the group they represented. A robust reputation score can incorporate guild-level signals – how often the guild completes campaigns, how stable its roster is, how it performs in collaborative programs – and then allocate part of that prestige back to individual members. This way, being part of a high-performing guild matters, but does not overshadow one’s own direct contributions.
Any scoring system that affects access and rewards will inevitably be gamed, so anti-abuse design must be built in from the start. Non-transferable SBTs already prevent direct buying and selling of reputation, but they do not eliminate multi-wallet strategies, scripted quest completion or shallow engagement. The unified reputation model should therefore include negative or neutral signals: repeated low-effort badge farming, abandoned journeys, or suspicious patterns across clusters of wallets can reduce the marginal impact of those actions. The goal is not to punish experimentation, but to make it costly to manufacture a “perfect” score with no real substance behind it.
Privacy and consent also sit at the center of responsible design. A detailed, onchain reputation graph can be incredibly powerful, but it can also feel intrusive if every past activity is exposed in every context. The unified score is an opportunity to abstract some of that detail: instead of broadcasting every individual badge, a player can choose to share only aggregated scores, selected dimensions or specific SBT types relevant to a particular opportunity. Over time, one can imagine “reputation views” that act like filters: a competitive league might see one slice of the profile, a social guild another, and a research program a third.
For the score to be trusted, it must be explainable. Players, guild leaders and partners need to understand why a profile sits at a certain level, not just accept a mysterious number. That suggests building tools that show how different SBT clusters, quest histories and guild activities contribute to the final result. Simple visualizations – bars for each dimension, timelines of major reputation milestones, lists of “key badges” that moved the needle – go a long way toward making the system feel fair. Explainability also provides a built-in feedback loop: if players feel certain actions are undervalued, designers get clear signals on where to adjust weights or add new badge categories.
On the user-experience side, a unified score can be woven into familiar progression metaphors rather than presented as pure analytics. Reputation levels, thresholds for unlocking new tiers of quests and badges that signify “graduation” from one stage to another can all sit on top of the underlying math. The existing reputation-and-progression frameworks already show how tokens, badges and soulbound achievements can be translated into XP and levels; the unified score can be the backbone that aligns these experiences across games, programs and guilds while still feeling intuitive to players.
As this infrastructure matures, the downstream effects could be significant. A well-designed, nuanced reputation score allows matchmaking systems to form more balanced teams, campaigns to target the right cohorts with the right complexity, and guilds to recruit based on more than just raw hours played or short-term returns. It also creates an incentive structure that rewards consistency, collaboration and experimentation, not only high volatility betting on tokenized outcomes. The challenge is to keep the score as a guide, not as an oracle – helpful, but never the only lens through which players are seen.
Ultimately, designing a unified reputation score from many YGG SBTs is an exercise in respecting the complexity of human identity while still providing a usable tool for a busy ecosystem. The goal is not to compress players into a flat leaderboard, but to give them a portable summary of their onchain story that can travel across games, guilds and seasons. If the system remains multi-dimensional under the hood, transparent in its logic, careful about privacy and open to iteration, that single number on a profile will not be a prison – it will be a starting point for deeper conversations about who each player is, how they contribute and where they could meaningfully go next.

Most people first encounter perpetual futures in DeFi through AMM-style platforms, where liquidity lives in curves and traders interact with pools rather than with other traders. Injective takes a very different path: it brings a central limit order book (CLOB) fully on-chain, preserving a more traditional market-structure logic while still running inside a interoperable blockchain environment. Understanding this difference is key to seeing why the same “perps” label can hide radically different risk models, user experiences and long-term design paths.
At the heart of Injective’s design is an exchange module built directly into the base chain that natively supports order books, matching logic and derivative markets. Validators execute the matching engine as part of block production, and all orders, trades and liquidations are recorded as first-class state transitions. In contrast, AMM-centric perps are built around liquidity pools where pricing emerges from formulas and oracle inputs; the protocol “quotes” the user a price against a pool rather than matching their order against another human trader. That architectural choice cascades into differences in latency, MEV surface, capital efficiency and risk control.
In an AMM perp, the core actor is the liquidity provider. LPs deposit collateral into a shared pool, which then takes the opposite side of trader positions. The protocol uses an invariant, a virtual AMM or a similar mechanism to quote prices and manage open interest. When traders win, they effectively earn from LPs; when traders lose, LPs capture the PnL, with funding payments used to keep prices close to an external index. In Injective’s on-chain CLOB, the pool abstraction dissolves. Instead, each resting order in the book is a specific commitment by a maker to buy or sell at a certain price and size, just like on a traditional derivatives venue. The counterparties are other traders, not a pooled LP vault.
This has important consequences for how risk is distributed. In AMM-centric perps, tail risk is socialized across the LP base and often mitigated by circuit breakers, dynamic funding or insurance funds. LPs are implicitly short volatility if they provide liquidity in both directions, and they rely heavily on parameter tuning by protocol governance. In Injective’s order book, risk is more granular and explicitly chosen by each participant: makers decide where to quote, which size to show, how far out on the tail they are willing to go, and can adjust in real time as conditions change. The protocol’s role is to enforce margin and liquidation rules, not to continuously rebalance an invariant on behalf of a passive pool.
Pricing also emerges differently. AMM perps lean on oracles and bonding curves; the trader’s price is often a function of the mark price and the current skew between long and short open interest in the pool. This can create slippage for large trades and a path-dependent mark, especially in volatile markets. A CLOB-based perp on Injective instead produces prices from the intersection of supply and demand at each tick. The “best bid” and “best ask” are literal price levels in the book, and depth at each level defines impact cost. Oracles are still important for index prices, funding and collateral valuation, but they no longer serve as the primary pricing engine for trade execution.
From a capital-efficiency standpoint, AMM perps make it easy to bootstrap markets because LPs can deploy a single pool and instantly enable trading for many takers. However, they often require high levels of overcollateralization and conservative risk parameters to protect LPs, which can limit leverage and product variety. An on-chain CLOB benefits more from active market makers who can concentrate liquidity where actual trading happens, quote tighter spreads and dynamically manage inventory across correlated markets. When combined with portfolio margining across spot, perps and other derivatives, this can lead to more efficient use of capital for sophisticated participants, while still allowing simple isolated-margin trading for retail users.
User experience is another major divergence. In AMM perps, the canonical interaction is a market trade specified by size and direction; limit orders, if available, are often built as extra logic on top of the pool and may be less expressive. Injective’s CLOB is designed natively around order types: limit, market, post-only, time-in-force and so on. Traders can construct complex execution strategies, place layered orders, run grid-like structures or use conditional orders with more precision. For professional traders and bots, this environment feels much closer to the tooling they already use in centralized venues, but with on-chain settlement and composability.
Latency and determinism also play out differently. AMM-centric perps often push part of the logic off-chain (for example, price feeds or keeper networks) while keeping core pool accounting on-chain. In Injective’s design, the matching engine is embedded into the consensus process, so the canonical trade sequence is exactly what validators have agreed on. This simplifies reasoning about reorgs, order priority and fairness, while still leaving room for optimization via block time and validator performance. The downside is that everything must fit within block constraints; the upside is that there is a single, clear source of truth for execution.
MEV and fairness are closely linked to architecture. In AMM perps, atomic arbitrage between pool prices and external markets is a major MEV vector; bots compete to restore equilibrium whenever the pool drifts away from the index. On a CLOB, arbitrage takes the form of replenishing stale quotes and cross-exchange spread trading, but it happens through visible orders and trades rather than constant AMM nudging. Because Injective processes the matching logic as part of the chain, it can design specific rules for order priority and cancellation semantics that reduce ambiguity, even if it cannot completely eliminate all forms of MEV.
The funding mechanism in AMM perps is typically a direct transfer between longs and shorts computed from the difference between mark and index prices. Since the pool often stands in as the main counterparty, imbalances can accumulate in ways that stress LPs during extreme moves. In an Injective-style CLOB, funding still aligns perp prices with spot or index, but the impact is mediated by order flow: when funding goes strongly positive or negative, it changes incentives for traders to hold or close positions, which in turn reshapes the order book. This often leads to a more direct and transparent feedback loop between market sentiment and price levels.
Liquidations in AMM perps usually involve a keeper network or background process buying out underwater positions from the pool at a discount before they become insolvent. If keeper incentives fail, the pool can suffer losses and trigger safeguard mechanisms. Injective’s on-chain CLOB integrates liquidation logic at the protocol level: when an account breaches maintenance margin, the system can initiate partial or full liquidation via market orders into the existing book, respecting the same priority rules as regular trades. This central handling of risk reduces reliance on external actors and makes the process more auditable.
Composability is often cited as a strength of AMM-centric designs because a pool token or LP share can easily plug into other protocols as collateral or yield-bearing assets. Injective, however, leans on a different form of composability: it exposes markets, balances and positions as native chain state that other modules and contracts can query and use. This means that instead of plugging a pool token elsewhere, developers can build structured products, vaults or strategies that directly interact with the order book, place and cancel orders, or manage portfolios according to on-chain signals.
For builders, the two architectures enable different product design patterns. On AMM-centric perps, the typical extension is to wrap the pool in a vault that automates LP management or to layer on custom payoff structures based on pool PnL. On Injective’s CLOB, the natural extension is to build smart order routers, cross-market arbitrage systems, hedging vaults and risk dashboards that treat the order book as a programmable primitive. The chain becomes an execution and settlement layer for sophisticated trading logic rather than just a container for a few large pools.
In the long run, these differences in structure may lead to a divergence in ecosystem roles. AMM-centric perp protocols are likely to remain strong entry points for retail users seeking simple, one-click leveraged exposure, especially on chains where throughput and on-chain matching are harder to scale. Injective’s on-chain CLOB, by contrast, is positioned to attract more order-flow-driven participants: market makers, arbitrageurs, strategies seeking fine-grained control of execution, and projects that need a robust derivatives layer beneath them. Both approaches can coexist, but they will likely specialize rather than converge.
For traders deciding where to focus their attention, the key is to understand what they are optimizing for. If the goal is ease of use, simple sizing and passive LP yield, AMM-centric perps can be attractive, with all the caveats around pool risk and parameter sensitivity. If the priority is execution quality, transparent order flow and a trading environment that mirrors traditional markets while staying fully on-chain, Injective’s CLOB architecture offers a fundamentally different path. The “perps” label might be the same, but under the hood, the mechanics, incentives and long-term possibilities are playing a very different game.

Структура рынка биткоина в последние недели напоминает первый квартал 2022 года: более четверти монет были куплены по цене выше текущей, написано в отчете Glassnode. Ключевой зоной для восстановления структуры рынка эксперты считают диапазон от $96 тыс. до $106 тыс. — неспособность закрепиться на этих уровнях повышает риск дальнейшего падения.
Цена биткоина ($BTC ) 4 декабря 18:50 мск находилась около $93 тыс. С начала декабря курс прибавил около 3%, но от пика около $126,2 тыс., достигнутого в начале октября, курс обвалился более чем на 25%.
В ноябре котировки снизились на 17,7%. С середины ноября цена BTC двигается в диапазоне ниже $94 тыс. и дважды опускалась ниже $84 тыс.
Glassnode суммирует все цены предполагаемой покупки биткоина инвесторами и выводит средний или базовый уровень цены. Под покупкой или продажей биткоина Glassnode подразумевает любое перемещение биткоина в Сети, а цену покупки рассчитывает на момент перевода монет. Например, если пользователь пополнил свой биткоин-адрес на 1 $BTC в момент, когда биткоин стоил на биржах $120 тыс., то Glassnode будет считать это покупкой по $120 тыс. Таким образом они определяют количество биткоинов, купленных по цене выше или ниже рыночной.
На сегодняшний день около четверти монет куплены по цене выше рыночной, что является довольно редким явлением на крипторынке.
В текущем положении котировки биткоина балансируют между риском дальнейшего снижения цены и потенциальным разворотным движением вверх, полагают в Glassnode. Они также считают, что, пока цена не достигла уровня $106 тыс., рыночная структура все еще будет крайне чувствительна к макроэкономическим стрессам.
Эксперты указывают, что в предыдущий раз такая картина наблюдалась в 2022 году, во время начала одного из самых жестких медвежьих периодов на крипторынке. Несмотря на заметное сходство, динамика притока капитала в биткоин «остается слегка положительной». Glassnode пишет, именно это объясняет, что цена биткоина держится около $90 тыс.
Биржевые фонды
Хотя эксперты отмечают слабый, но все же спрос на биткоин, они также указывают на негативную динамику в американских биржевых фондах (ETF) на базе биткоина, которые столкнулись с заметным ухудшением в притоках капитала.
«Отток средств был широко распространен среди всех эмитентов, что свидетельствует об осторожной позиции институциональных участников в условиях ухудшения рыночной конъюнктуры», — уточнили в Glassnode.
Совокупные притоки капитала в биткоин-ETF показывают негативную динамику. Из семи торговых недель с 13 октября только две закрылись с положительным притоком капитала. Согласно Sosovalue, за этот период отток составил более $4 млрд.
Тем не менее эксперты, опрошенные «РБК-Крипто», склонны к позитивному прогнозу для цены биткоина на конец 2025 года на уровне $100 тыс. А две крупные управляющие компании, Grayscale и Bitwise, в отчетах с обзором рынка в начале декабря также заявили о продолжении роста, хоть и отмечая краткосрочные риски для цены.

В 2011 году Роджер Вер — один из первых и самых известных евангелистов биткоина, предприниматель и инвестор, которого в криптосообществе прозвали «Биткоин-Иисус» — убеждал людей обратить внимание на цифровые активы. Тогда биткоин стоил около $10, а идея о том, что он обгонит золото, недвижимость и американский фондовый рынок, выглядела дерзкой и почти безумной.
Спустя четырнадцать лет видно, что ставка Вера стала одной из самых точных в истории финансов. Авторы X-канала Documenting Saylor подсчитали, сколько могли заработать те, кто последовал его совету, и сравнили итог с доходностью традиционных активов.
Сколько заработали последователи Роджера Вера
В момент знаменитой ставки биткоин торговался около $10. Даже если ориентироваться на консервативную цену в районе $85 000, итоговая доходность составляет примерно +849 900%.
Что это означает на практике:
$1, вложенный в биткоин в 2011 году, превратился бы в $8 500$1 000 — в $8,.5 млн
Такой результат делает биткоин абсолютным лидером по доходности среди всех массовых финансовых инструментов последних десятилетий. Роджер Вер о перспективах биткоина. Запись от 2011 года
Как бы выглядели те же инвестиции в традиционные активы
Не биткоином единым. На рынке есть масса альтернатив для инвестиций. Ниже таблица, которая показывает доходность активов с 2011 года и то, во сколько бы превратился $1 за тот же период.

Разрыв между результатами настолько велик, что даже сильный рост S&P 500 меркнет по сравнению с почти миллионной доходностью биткоина.
Почему Роджера Вера оказался прав
Вер ставил не просто на рост цены, а на появление новой экономической парадигмы. Основой его убеждений были:
ограниченная эмиссия биткоина;децентрализация;независимость от государств;отсутствие посредников при переводах;технологическое преимущество над традиционной финансовой системой.
В 2011 году эти тезисы воспринимались скорее как идеология. Сегодня они стали фундаментом рынка цифровых активов.
Что в итоге
История Роджера Вера — это не про везение. Это про то, что происходит, когда человек делает ставку на идею, которая кажется слишком радикальной для большинства. В 2011 году совет вложиться в биткоин выглядел как безумие. Сегодня он выглядит как финансовое пророчество, которое сбылось почти буквально.
Те, кто считал Вера сумасшедшим, потеряли возможность века. Те, кто его услышал, — получили доступ к самой прибыльной сделке в современной истории.

When we talk about @Falcon Finance , the focus is usually on $FF tokenomics, USDf yields, and the design of collateral and strategy frameworks. But this lens easily obscures another layer — the political one. Any governance token eventually becomes not only a financial asset, but also an instrument of power. And if a significant share of FF ends up concentrated on exchanges and with custodians, we gradually move from a decentralized protocol to a system where a handful of large operators can effectively control key decisions.
The first and most obvious problem is pure vote concentration. A major platform aggregates user deposits, some of which are held in FF, and from a technical standpoint it is the platform — not the end holders — that controls this volume. If the platform votes “in its own name,” tens of thousands of retail investors effectively collapse into a single voter — centralized and opaque. As a result, even with a large number of FF holders, real power ends up in the hands of a few infrastructure operators.
The second line of risk is conflict of interest. Exchanges and custodians earn on volume, spreads, listings, and credit products. It is rational for them to vote for Falcon Finance configurations that increase their own revenues: more aggressive farming parameters, higher limits for leveraged strategies, listing schemes for USDf that are convenient for them. Long-term protocol resilience, risks for stablecoin holders, and systemic risk may be pushed into the background. What benefits a platform over a quarterly horizon is not necessarily good for the ecosystem over a horizon of several years.
The third risk is “voting with other people’s money.” Users deposit FF to an exchange for trading or staking, often without realizing that the platform may use this balance to participate in governance. Formally, the tokens belong to the clients, but legally and technically the voting power is controlled by the custodian. This creates a dangerous disconnect: decisions are made on behalf of people who do not even know they are “participating” in votes. In an ecosystem that positions itself as decentralized, this scenario undermines the very idea of informed, conscious governance.
The fourth aspect is the risk of “hidden influence.” An exchange may avoid voting directly from a single, clearly identifiable address and instead distribute FF across affiliated wallets, market makers, or subsidiaries. From the outside this can look like a diverse set of independent participants, while the real decision-making center remains a single point. For the community, this creates the illusion of broad-based support for certain proposals, when in fact it is a consolidated position of one large player. This scenario is especially dangerous in votes on contentious risk parameters.
The fifth risk is regulatory. Custodians and exchanges operate in a world of licenses, supervisory requirements, and local laws. If a regulator in a particular jurisdiction decides that Falcon Finance must be “adjusted” toward tighter control, freezing certain addresses, or changing the stablecoin model, it will be much easier to pressure a few large infrastructure companies than thousands of anonymous holders. At some point, these entities can become conduits of external political pressure into the protocol simply because the alternative is losing their core business.
The sixth area is operational and force majeure risk. Exchanges and custodians can be hacked, face bankruptcy, asset freezes, or technical outages. If a significant share of FF participating in governance is blocked or lost on a single such entity, the damage goes beyond the token price — it hits the governance process itself. Votes may fail because key addresses are unavailable, quorums may not be reached, and initiatives critical for adjusting USDf risk parameters may stall precisely when they are needed most.
The seventh risk is agenda centralization. A large voting block does not even need to actively participate in every proposal. It is enough for an exchange to make it clear to the team and key stakeholders which initiatives will definitely not pass and which will receive “quiet support.” This shifts the balance from open discussion to backroom deal-making. As a result, many potentially useful but inconvenient reforms for infrastructure players never even reach the formal proposal stage because their authors understand in advance that the odds are slim.
The eighth point concerns the motivation of small FF holders. When people see that voting outcomes are largely predetermined by major platforms, their interest in participating declines. Why spend time reading proposals, analyzing parameters, and voting if the final result still depends on a couple of “whales”? This leads to the classic problem of apathy: the share of votes coming from self-custodial users and long-term investors shrinks, and governance turns into a mere formality. The protocol loses the very “wisdom of the crowd” that token-based governance was supposed to harness.
The ninth line of risk is the possibility of coordinated attacks. If several exchanges and custodians controlling meaningful FF positions, for whatever reason, decide to act in concert, they can push through decisions that drastically alter core protocol parameters — from revenue distribution to collateral and stablecoin settings. Formally, this would still be a “democratic vote,” but in practice it would be a coordinated governance takeover. The protocol is especially vulnerable in periods when FF’s price declines and some long-term holders are forced to exit, leaving infrastructure players with an even higher relative share.
The tenth risk is a shortened planning horizon. Large centralized platforms live in a world of quarterly reports, competition, and internal KPIs. In that mode, it is easy to vote for decisions that deliver immediate growth in fees or interest around FF while increasing structural risk over a multi-year horizon. Examples include more aggressive parameters for yield strategies, looser controls on collateral concentration, or cosmetic changes to stablecoin reserve models. To the market, this may look like “bold innovation,” but under stress these are often precisely the decisions that lead to cascading failures.
The eleventh problem is informational imbalance. Exchanges and custodians have access to vast datasets on user behavior, liquidity flows, and product demand. If these players use their influence in governance based on private analytics while the community must decide using only limited public information, you get asymmetry. Large structures effectively play the governance game with “open cards,” while everyone else plays half-blind. This creates room for decisions that benefit an informed minority and are misunderstood or mispriced by the majority.
The twelfth risk is the dilution of responsibility. When voting power is centrally concentrated, it is easy to end up in a situation where everyone pretends that “the community” is in charge, while in reality decisions come down to a handful of legal entities. In the event of errors or crises, the familiar blame game begins: exchanges say they merely voted in the interests of clients, users claim they did not know a vote was happening, and the team says it followed the will of FF holders. This fog benefits only those who hold the real levers of influence — and destroys trust in the protocol as a transparent system.
The thirteenth aspect is the impact on tokenomics evolution. Many protocols eventually need to revisit their emission model, revenue distribution, lockup parameters, and incentive design. If Falcon Finance is ever forced to implement a painful reform that reduces the short-term upside of infrastructure players, exchanges and custodians with large voting blocks can simply block such changes. The protocol then becomes a hostage of its early architecture, unable to adapt to new market and regulatory conditions.
Finally, the fourteenth risk is the erosion of trust in FF itself as a governance token. If the community concludes that real decisions on key issues are made by a “council of custodians” rather than a distributed base of holders, FF will increasingly be seen as a purely speculative asset with no real political value. This can hurt the protocol’s valuation, institutional interest, and the willingness of new participants to commit to long-term Falcon Finance strategies. In this sense, voting power concentration is not only a technical or legal risk, but also a reputational threat — one that is extremely hard to recover from once it materializes.
@Falcon Finance #FalconFinance $FF

When people started calling Lorenzo “the Bitcoin answer to restaking,” it began to sound like a straightforward attempt to port EigenLayer’s model onto a different base asset. On the surface, the parallels seem obvious: both involve “restaking,” “additional yield,” and “pooled security.” But if you look a bit deeper at the architecture and target audiences, it becomes clear: yes, @Lorenzo Protocol and EigenLayer are built on the same core idea — reusing staked capital — but they turn it into completely different types of products. This isn’t a 1:1 remake of a series in another language; it’s a spin-off in a different genre with different objectives.
EigenLayer is first and foremost an infrastructure security protocol. It lives on top of Ethereum and offers a new primitive: restaking ETH and liquid staking tokens so their economic security protects not only the L1, but also external services. Instead of every new module — an oracle, a bridge, a DA layer, a custom consensus — issuing its own token and trying to bootstrap its own stake from scratch, they can “rent” existing security backed by staked ETH. In essence, it’s a marketplace for trust: validators and LST holders provide collateral, and autonomous services pay to use that collateral as a shield.
#LorenzoProtocolBANK , by contrast, did not emerge as a pure “security layer,” but as multichain liquidity infrastructure for Bitcoin. Its goal is to turn BTC from a passive store of value into an asset that simultaneously participates in restaking scenarios, works in DeFi, and ends up inside structured products and on-chain funds. Lorenzo builds an entire financial layer on top of Bitcoin: liquid tokens, strategy vaults, tokenized “funds,” and tools to make this layer accessible across many different networks.
The problems they solve are quite different. EigenLayer says: “We have a massive pool of staked ETH — let’s allow new protocols to buy security from it, and let validators earn additional yield for taking on new obligations.” Lorenzo is about something else entirely: “We have a huge amount of Bitcoin mostly sitting idle. Let’s build a layer through which that BTC can safely enter DeFi and restaking, be wrapped into fund-like products, and be distributed across dozens of chains.” The first is a marketplace for security; the second is a financial combine for liquidity.
If you break EigenLayer down by roles, you see three main actors: restakers (validators and holders of LST/ETH), operators (who actually run the infrastructure), and AVSs — Actively Validated Services that buy pooled security. A restaker optionally signs up for additional conditions: “I agree that my stake will back not only Ethereum’s honesty, but also the correct behavior of a specific module.” If that module fails due to their misbehavior, they can be slashed. Yield, in this model, is compensation for taking on new, explicitly security-related risks.
Lorenzo’s mechanics are different. The protocol takes in BTC (via selected bridges and staking primitives like Babylon), then issues two key tokens on top of it and builds on-chain funds around them. The first token is enzoBTC, a wrapper pegged 1:1 to Bitcoin that acts as “cash” throughout the ecosystem. The second is stBTC, a liquid restaking token that reflects rights to yield from Bitcoin staking and restaking scenarios. These assets then flow into vaults and OTFs — on-chain traded funds, i.e., tokenized strategies that themselves become investable products.
So EigenLayer primarily sells security to AVS modules, while Lorenzo ($BANK ) sells packaged yield strategies to holders of BTC and stablecoins. In one case, restaking means “sign an extra contract that can get you slashed.” In the other, it means “add another yield source into a fund’s structure.” Under the hood, both rely on reusing collateral, but the user experience and visible business logic are radically different.
Another key difference is how deeply each is tied to its base L1. EigenLayer lives entirely in Ethereum’s gravity well: its contracts, economics, AVS ecosystem, and future utility token are all anchored in the fact that core crypto-economic security comes from staked ETH and its derivatives. Lorenzo, by design, is multichain: its BTC liquidity can “spread” across more than twenty networks, and its on-chain funds operate on different L1s and L2s, choosing the venues that best suit specific strategies. The base asset is singular — BTC — but the surrounding infrastructure is intentionally distributed across a whole zoo of chains.
From a product perspective, EigenLayer is a “security modules marketplace”: new services show up and say, “We need N units of economic security; here are our rules and payouts.” Lorenzo is more like an “operating system for on-chain funds”: on top of its vaults, you can run dozens or hundreds of strategies — from BTC and stablecoin staking to RWA yield and classic DeFi — and the end user just sees a single fund token. Restaking here is just one grain in the mix, sitting alongside yield from stablecoins, RWAs, and other sources.
The risk profiles differ accordingly. EigenLayer builds a consciously high-risk zone: by participating in multiple AVSs, a restaker acquires a complex, correlated set of slash risks — the very “new attack surface” everyone debates. Lorenzo, operating in a multichain Bitcoin context, faces another spectrum: bridge risk, liquidity risk, vault smart contract risk, and strategy risk in the funds. To some extent, it imports restaking-related risk (if it uses such layers under the hood), but from the end investor’s vantage point it looks much more like a fund with multiple strategies than direct participation in a security market for protocols.
It’s also instructive to compare the role of governance tokens. In the EigenLayer ecosystem, the native token is meant to coordinate AVSs, set parameters, and provide a finer-grained “control layer” over the raw restaking market. Lorenzo uses BANK and a ve-style locking model: holders can lock tokens for a set period to gain more weight in deciding how fund revenue is distributed, which strategies are prioritized, and how risk parameters are tuned. In both worlds, the token is more than a speculative chip; it’s a lever for distributing income and power. But in one case, it governs security modules; in the other, on-chain funds and BTC liquidity.
Viewed through the lens of an ETH-native investor, EigenLayer answers the question: “How can we extract more value from already staked ETH and help new protocols avoid a security deficit?” Lorenzo answers a different question for the Bitcoin audience: “How can we turn BTC into a universal collateral asset with access to restaking yield, DeFi, and structured products without building everything from scratch?” Formally, both sit in the restaking narrative, but in practice one sells a service to infrastructure, while the other sells a packaged product to capital allocators.
This brings us to the central question: is Lorenzo just a Bitcoin remake, or something else? If by remake you mean a 1:1 architectural port, the answer is clearly no. Lorenzo is not building a BTC security market modeled on AVS; it is using restaking primarily as one of several yield sources inside a fund. But in a broader sense — as an attempt to give a base asset a “second life” — the parallel holds. ETH gets a new layer of utility as a security source for services via EigenLayer; BTC gets a new layer of utility as a building block for professional portfolio products via Lorenzo.
Moreover, these stories are potentially complementary. In a world where restaking infrastructure exists not only on Ethereum but also on other L1s, and Bitcoin liquidity becomes a first-class collateral type across many networks, you can imagine a chain of dependencies: BTC, onboarded via Lorenzo, flows into structures that themselves rely on restaking layers similar to Eigen-style solutions. At that point, the “remake or not” debate becomes secondary — these are simply different layers of a stack, intersecting around the same investors and many of the same risks.
It’s also interesting to note how each approach interacts with real-world assets and traditional strategies. EigenLayer is currently focused on pure crypto infrastructure: oracles, DA, bridges, new consensuses. Lorenzo, by contrast, is already integrating RWA yield and more traditional financial strategies into its on-chain funds, using BTC and stablecoins as the entry ticket. Put very bluntly: one layer is making ETH a “better collateral for Web3 infrastructure,” the other is making BTC a “better collateral for hybrid portfolios with on-chain management.”
In the end, when comparing Lorenzo Protocol and EigenLayer, it’s important not to get misled by the shared word “restaking.” At the idea level, yes — both aim to reuse existing stake instead of rebuilding from scratch. But at the product and audience level, they inhabit different worlds: a marketplace for decentralized trust in the ETH ecosystem versus a multichain financial layer for Bitcoin and on-chain funds. So it’s more accurate to say not that Lorenzo is a “Bitcoin remake,” but that restaking has become such a foundational concept that whole genres are forming around it — from infrastructure protocols to “digital asset management houses.” Lorenzo belongs firmly in the second category.
@Lorenzo Protocol #LorenzoProtocol #lorenzoprotocol $BANK

If you strip away all the web3 slang, $YGG is essentially a powerful machine for acquiring and retaining players — only built not on ad networks, but on guilds. A guild becomes not just a “marketing partner,” but a core part of the game’s unit economics: users arrive through it, their LTV is formed there, revenue is shared through it, and even predictable cohorts are built around it. #YGGPlay was originally conceived as a community-driven user acquisition platform for game studios, combined with earning opportunities for the players themselves.
It’s important to understand how the YGG stack is structured. At the top sits the main DAO with its treasury, investments, and brand layer. Below that is the product layer: quests, the rewards hub, reputation systems, and staking — the interfaces through which players interact with games every day. Underneath lies a network of regional and partner guilds, each with its own audience, language, strengths, and programs. Together, this becomes a “traffic supplier grid,” where instead of banners and targeting you have communities with on-chain histories and specialized skills.
On top of all this, YGG is now rolling out Guild Protocol — an on-chain guild protocol. It turns a guild from “just a Discord server” into a programmable economic primitive: with on-chain identity, a treasury, records of achievements, and member reputation. For a game, this means that the acquisition channel stops being a black box: the studio can see which guilds it works with, what skills they have, their quest history, and their real contribution to onboarding. Most importantly, it can target campaigns at specific on-chain guilds with the right profile instead of at abstract “players from Twitter.”
From a unit economics perspective, the game now has classic parameters: CAC (customer acquisition cost), LTV (lifetime value of a player), payback period, retention. The difference is that YGG allows you to calculate them not only for individual users, but also for guilds as “super-units.” Roughly speaking, the game can calculate CAC not per player but per guild of 200 people brought in through a specific campaign, and measure the LTV of that guild as a cohort: how much they spend, how many friends they bring, how they participate in the game’s on-chain economy.
Traditional game marketing usually runs into expensive performance channels, where CAC is constantly rising. Through YGG, instead of endlessly buying clicks, the game pays for specific quests and tasks: “bring N active players,” “complete M matches,” “reach a certain level,” “learn an on-chain mechanic.” The budget turns into a rewards pool that is shared between players and the guild, while the game receives a results-based audience. CAC in this setup can be calculated as: campaign budget / number of players who reach a defined threshold (for example, 7-day retention plus baseline on-chain activity).
The core idea behind Guild Protocol and YGG’s reputation system is that a game can focus on guilds with high expected LTV. On-chain metrics — completed quests, achievements, participation in past campaigns — reveal which guilds bring long-lived players and which are specialized in quick farming. YGG explicitly positions itself as a way to target high-LTV communities rather than random individual users. For unit economics, this means you can pre-filter traffic suppliers and avoid spending budget on audiences that will vanish after a week.
The game’s revenue model in this setup can be built around several streams. First, primary sales: in-game items, passes, skins, access to premium modes. Second, fees from the secondary market and on-chain transactions. Third, a share of prize pools from tournaments or special events. When YGG is the main acquisition channel, all these flows become linked to the quality of the quests and tasks given to guilds: the better the game designs its “monetization ladder,” the higher the LTV of cohorts brought in through guild campaigns.
Another layer of unit economics is revenue sharing. Historically, YGG built models where income is split between the player, the guild, and a manager (or community leader). A similar logic can now be applied in new games: revenue from activity linked to YGG quests can be shared along the lines of “players / guild / game / sometimes YGG DAO.” The game can bake into its unit economics that up to X% of revenue from certain actions will be paid out as bonuses and rev-share to partner guilds — and then calculate whether that still works at a given LTV.
YGG’s strength lies in the quality and depth of cohorts. A player who has gone through the Guild Advancement Program, Superquests, and on-chain reputation has already formed the habit of completing tasks and joining quests, and sees a game not as a one-off airdrop, but as part of a longer journey. This improves retention: such an audience onboards better, churns less after the first failure, and more often reaches stages where monetization kicks in. For unit economics, that translates into higher LTV at comparable or even lower CAC than traditional performance channels.
Of course, there’s a downside: if a game builds its economy solely around quests and external rewards, it risks attracting a “mercenary” audience that moves exclusively toward external reward pools. To avoid drowning in that, a game studio has to design campaigns so that external rewards act as an accelerator, not the only motivation. In unit economics terms, this looks like a constraint: every unit of budget spent on quests must move the player into states where they’re held by game design, social ties, and in-game progression — not by the next cheque from YGG.
The right strategy is to use YGG as an “onboarding turbine,” not as a permanent crutch. At the first stage, the game might deploy a fairly aggressive budget for quests and guild campaigns to bootstrap the base. At the second, it gradually reduces unit CAC by shifting focus toward organic mechanics: in-game referral systems, social roles inside guilds, on-chain reputation that grants bonuses directly within the game. Unit economics becomes dynamic: the share of CAC spent on YGG declines, while the LTV of the cohort initially brought in via guilds remains above average.
Another advantage of YGG as a channel is regional scalability. The network of partner guilds covers Latin America, Southeast Asia, Japan, and other markets, with each regional structure already having its own channels and understanding of the local audience. For the game’s unit economics, this means you can build separate models by region: in some, CAC via YGG guilds will be minimal but ARPU lower; in others, acquisition will be more expensive but purchasing power and willingness to buy premium products higher.
The financial question is how to pay for this channel. A game can choose between several approaches: one-off quest budgets (classic marketing style), long-term rev-share agreements with key guilds, token/equity allocations for joint initiatives, or hybrid models. In unit economics terms, this shows up as “marketing CAC” plus “equity-like CAC”: how much potential future value the game hands over to the guild network in exchange for rapid scaling. Overshooting is dangerous: if too large a share of the game’s economy flows outward, LTV for the studio itself can become diluted.
To manage all this, the game needs a clear dashboard of YGG-channel metrics. At a minimum: CAC by guild and by region; DAU/WAU/MAU by cohort; D1/D7/D30 retention for players acquired via YGG; paying user share; ARPPU and ARPU for these cohorts; the share of on-chain activity tied to quests versus “native” in-game activity. On top of that, guild engagement metrics: how many quests they complete, what percentage of their members reach monetization, how their on-chain reputation changes. All of this turns the guild channel from something fuzzy and “community-like” into a fully manageable slice of unit economics.
Finally, YGG lets the game think not only in terms of players, but also in terms of guilds as separate business units. A given guild X can effectively have its own P&L within the game: how much revenue its members generate, how much it costs to support their activity, what share of the economy the game shares with them. Based on that, the studio can decide: who gets exclusive quests, early access to beta modes, co-branded tournaments, and product collaborations. At some point, key guilds start to look like “wholesale clients” with whom the game builds bespoke financial models.
In the end, the unit economics of a game that uses Yield Guild Games as its primary user acquisition channel starts to resemble a hybrid of an ad network and a franchise model. On one side, you still have familiar CAC/LTV/retention metrics; on the other, you have a network of partner guilds with whom you build long-term relationships, joint products, and rev-share structures. A game that learns to model this economy not just top-down (total marketing budget), but by guild and by region will have a competitive edge: instead of endlessly chasing clicks, it will work with entire communities for whom the game’s success is part of their own on-chain résumé and income stream.
@Yield Guild Games #YGGPlay $YGG

When @Injective is described as an “aggressively deflationary” blockchain, the focus almost always lands on its burn model: dynamic inflation for network security and regular burning of a significant share of fees via a buyback auction. Until recently, the main engine of this machine was decentralized perps, spot trading, and classic DeFi. Now a second, heavier layer is approaching the ecosystem — real-world assets tokenized on Injective. This makes the question more interesting: what happens to the sustainability of the burn model when the lion’s share of fees comes not from traders, but from RWA volume?
The basic $INJ construction looks like this. The network uses dynamic inflation in the range of roughly 5–10% per year, adjusting it to a target staking ratio of around 85% in order to incentivize delegation and maintain security. In parallel, up to 60% of fees generated by applications on Injective are collected into a common pool and, via an auction or buyback mechanism, converted into INJ purchases that are then burned. Over the long run, the scale and stability of these fees determine whether the model hovers around net-zero issuance or moves into a structurally deflationary regime.
Before the arrival of large RWAs, Injective was essentially a “derivatives and speculative markets chain”: the main source of fees was perp DEXs, spot markets, and margin products. These are strong revenue engines, but highly cyclical: in bull phases, fees grow explosively; in bear phases, they collapse. Even with a powerful burn model, the sustainability of deflation therefore remained tied to trader sentiment. When volumes fell, burn auctions shrank and net INJ issuance moved closer to pure inflation.
With the introduction of the RWA module, Injective began shifting from a “speculator’s chain” into infrastructure for on-chain capital. Native tools appeared for tokenizing bonds, funds, indices, commodity markets, and other real-world assets. The crucial point is that RWA tokens and their derivatives generally generate fees that are smoother and more predictable than pure crypto perps. For the burn model, this means the system starts receiving not only “impulse” fee flows from trading, but also steady streams from tokenized debt and index products.
Roughly speaking, Injective is now getting two different types of fuel for burning INJ. The first is a volatile stream from speculative activity that can spike and crash. The second is a slow, heavy stream from RWAs: issuance, servicing, and trading fees on tokenized treasuries, indices, and other instruments. From the perspective of burn-model resilience, the second stream is especially valuable: it is less dependent on “crypto market mood” and closer to the logic of traditional capital, which needs consistent access to instruments rather than just hype.
By current estimates, total INJ supply has already declined significantly from the initial 100 million thanks to burns and migration, and the share of tokens removed from circulation continues to grow as the ecosystem expands. If we assume that RWA volumes will grow faster than classic DeFi, then the structure of fees feeding the burn will also change: the share of relatively stable, low-volatility fee flows will increase, while pure trading fees will become less dominant. This is an important shift from “holiday deflation” toward a more even, predictable contraction of supply.
There is another subtle factor: margins on RWA products. Fees on tokenized treasuries and indices are typically lower than on high-risk perp markets, but the notional volumes can be much larger, and turnover can be higher thanks to institutional flows. If Injective manages to secure a position as one of the key layers for RWAs, the absolute size of the fee pool — and thus the amount burned — could grow much more strongly than it would from DeFi alone.
On the other hand, integrating RWAs is not only a plus for the burn model; it also brings a new set of constraints. Many tokenized assets require permissioned logic: whitelists, jurisdictional limits, compliance modules. That means part of the activity may flow through special routes where user-facing fees are effectively “capped” by regulatory requirements and institutional partners. The protocol has to balance: fees must be low enough not to scare off large capital, yet high enough for the on-chain economy and burn mechanics to remain meaningful.
Stable RWA volumes also affect dynamic inflation. The more activity and fees there are, the easier it is for burn auctions to offset new #injective issuance paid to stakers. If RWA flows help keep burning at a level comparable to 5–10% annual issuance, net token supply remains near zero or moves into a mild deflationary regime even during periods when purely crypto volumes are declining. This increases the predictability of tokenomics and makes the model less dependent on extreme market phases.
We should also consider the risk of overshooting. If the bet on RWAs becomes excessive and classic DeFi on Injective lags, there is a risk that the fee structure becomes too conservative: small percentages, lots of long-only positions, and few high-yield products. In that case, the burn model would remain sustainable but lose the “turbo mode” that large derivatives volumes used to provide. The likely equilibrium is a hybrid setup: RWAs provide a stable base layer of fees, while DeFi and derivatives add periods of accelerated burning.
Perception of risk is another important dimension. For an INJ holder, it matters not only how many tokens were burned in a week, but also where the fees came from. Before RWAs, the picture was fairly simple: burning mostly correlated with trader activity and speculative liquidity. Now fee streams tied to very real assets — bonds, funds, indices — are being added to the mix. For some investors, this lowers perceived risk: the deflation rate starts to rest not only on market sentiment, but also on demand for traditional instruments that have migrated on-chain.
A major advantage for sustainability is the institutional time horizon. Institutional participants using the RWA module are usually not chasing “10x in a week.” Their priorities are robust infrastructure, a clear legal environment, and predictable fees. If a significant share of the burn pool is funded by such players, Injective effectively gets a “buffer against volume shocks”: even when retail trading exhausts itself, operations tied to managing tokenized portfolios continue.
Of course, there are technical risks as well. The more diverse the application set becomes — from perp DEXs to RWA infrastructure — the more important correct allocation of fees into the common pool and transparent burn rules become. If some modules are pushed outside standard routing (for example, due to asset restrictions), the protocol must ensure they don’t become “black holes” through which large volumes pass without contributing to the shared deflation model. Right now, Injective’s architecture is evolving precisely toward deeply integrating the RWA module into the global fee and burn system rather than leaving it as a siloed “side app.”
Looking ahead, the impact of large RWA volumes on INJ’s burn model can be described as a shift from “cyclical deflation” to “structural deflation.” Previously, the main driver of burning was the state of derivatives and speculative token markets: strong burn in bull cycles, weak burn in bear cycles. Now a second loop is being added — tokenized real assets, whose demand is driven not only by crypto sentiment but also by the broader global capital markets. This makes the picture more complex, but less dependent on a single source of volume.
In the end, the emergence of large RWA flows is not just “another narrative” for Injective, but an important test of INJ tokenomics maturity. If the protocol can integrate RWA fees into the burn scheme in a way that complements rather than crowds out DeFi activity, the model will become more resilient: part of issuance will be offset by stable, institution-driven flows, while high-risk, volatile crypto market phases will simply amplify an already-functioning deflation mechanism. At that point, the question will no longer be “can deflation be maintained,” but rather “how predictable and long-lived it can become in a world where not only tokens, but real assets now live on-chain.”

Агрессивные покупки усиливают импульс роста
Один из индикаторов, который сейчас активно обсуждают, это соотношение рыночных покупок к продажам. Показатель поднялся до 1,17, что говорит о росте агрессивной покупательной активности. Трейдеры охотно скупают $BTC , не дожидаясь лучших уровней.

Подобное поведение часто наблюдается в периоды перегрева. В такие моменты цену толкают не новые деньги, а усиление позиций существующих игроков. Рост выглядит уверенно, но остается хрупким: импульс может быстро развернуться при первых признаках усталости рынка.
Экономические данные говорят о замедлении активности
В макроэкономике ситуация развивается менее динамично. Скорость обращения денег M2 в США перестала расти. Показатель долгое время поднимался после ковидного периода, но в последние месяцы вышел на плато.

Такие сдвиги происходят тихо. Деньги продолжают циркулировать по экономике, однако темп движения больше не увеличивается. Подобные фазы часто предшествуют периоду ослабления экономического импульса. Экономика как будто идет ровным шагом, не ускоряясь и не прибавляя энергии.
Рынок криптовалют и экономика движутся вразнобой
Контраст между оживленным рынком биткоина и более спокойной экономикой США становится заметен. Крипторынок показывает высокую активность, а макроиндикаторы говорят о стабилизации, а местами и о постепенной усталости.
Подобные расхождения часто появляются в поздних стадиях рыночного цикла. Цены могут расти, но фундаментальная поддержка постепенно ослабевает. При таком раскладе любое движение становится более чувствительным к новостям, а коррекции проходят быстрее.
Что стоит учитывать инвесторам
Текущий рост биткоина во многом происходит благодаря усилению позиций действующих инвесторов и росту позиций с плечом, а не притоком новых участников. Макроэкономические сигналы при этом указывают на выравнивание денежного потока. Такое сочетание создает напряженный фон, на котором волатильность возрастает.
Рынок может продолжить расти, однако сам характер этого движения остается скорее рыночным, чем фундаментальным. Именно поэтому многие участники криптосообщества считают, что инвесторы преждевременно начали радоваться подъему BTC.

Основатель Binance Чанпэн Чжао (CZ) и криптокритик Питер Шифф провели дебаты о полезности цифровых активов и драгоценных металлов. Оппоненты обсудили природу стоимости биткоина и его преимущества перед золотом.
Шифф заявил, что токенизированное золото имеет смысл как доказательство владения реальным активом. Биткоин же, по его мнению, держится исключительно на вере, не имеет физического воплощения и реальной ценности. Экономист подчеркнул, что драгметалл необходим в промышленности, а криптовалюты «ничего из себя не представляют».
Чжао парировал, отметив, что физическое золото сложно разделить или верифицировать при передаче.
«Интернет виртуален, но он имеет ценность. Биткоин не существует в физическом виде, но если я отправлю 1 BTC, транзакция будет зафиксирована в блокчейне [...]. Никто не знает, сколько всего золота в мире, но в случае с первой криптовалютой мы точно знаем, сколько ее и где она находится», — заявил CZ.
Собеседники также затронули тему доходности. Шифф указал, что за последние четыре года драгметалл превзошел биткоин. Чжао предложил расширить горизонт до восьми лет. По его словам, на этой дистанции криптовалюта показывает лучший результат.
В ходе дискуссии основатель Binance напомнил об удобстве платежей. Он подчеркнул, что банковские переводы занимают дни, а блокчейн-транзакции проходят за минуты.
Шифф возразил, что криптокарты лишь конвертируют биткоин в фиат для оплаты покупок. CZ ответил, что для пользователя важен факт успешного платежа, а не технические процессы. Он также задал риторический вопрос:
«Много ли людей сегодня используют золото для покупки товаров?»
Дебаты завершились на дружеской ноте. Шифф предложил выпустить карту для его бизнеса, но оба спикера остались при своем мнении.

Напомним, в октябре Чжао раскритиковал новый RWA-продукт компании Schiff Gold.

If we reduce it to a single metaphor, #FalconFinanc Miles is “airline miles” for the on-chain economy around USDf and FF. The protocol is already building infrastructure for an overcollateralized synthetic dollar and yield strategies, but Miles turns any meaningful user action — minting the stablecoin, staking, providing liquidity, interacting with money markets — into a long-term points balance.
@Falcon Finance already positions itself as a universal collateral and liquidity layer: users deposit various assets, mint USDf, and can then convert it into yield-bearing sUSDf or deploy it in DeFi. $FF serves as the native governance and utility token that ties together governance, economics, and programmable incentives. On top of this, Miles is a separate loyalty layer that “reads” user behavior and rewards not one-off farming, but genuine contribution to the ecosystem.
The basic principle is simple: for every dollar of qualifying activity, the user earns Miles. In the pilot season, the rule is defined as “one mile per one dollar” of volume, and “activity” here means not abstract clicks, but real economic actions in the protocol. That’s crucial: the program doesn’t try to encourage mindless transaction spamming, but links rewards to operations that reinforce sustainable demand for USDf and sUSDf.
Activity itself is split into several tracks. The first is minting USDf and staking into sUSDf: the more passive capital a user converts into working capital, the faster their Miles balance grows. The second is providing liquidity in USDf pools and participating in trading and arbitrage strategies. The third is using lending and borrowing markets where USDf and its derivatives act as base assets. Specific campaigns add bonuses for long-term stablecoin holding or for participation in partner protocols.
FF is embedded into this mechanics in several ways. First, it’s the token through which the protocol can return value back to Miles participants: a significant portion of the incentive pool is reserved for rewards specifically linked to FF. Second, FF staking is a separate channel for generating Miles: holders who lock the token and participate in governance receive boosted access to Miles seasons and additional multipliers.
Starting from the second season of Falcon Miles, the emphasis shifts even more toward FF staking. The program introduces explicit bonus multipliers for staking FF, and major players visibly enter the staking pool to secure enhanced Miles accrual and future privileges. This creates several effects for the protocol at once: the share of locked FF grows, the amount of freely circulating tokens shrinks, and a cohort forms of participants who are simultaneously aligned with the resilience of USDf and the long-term success of the tokenomics.
The key question is what Miles actually give you in the end. Structurally, they’re not “tokens in and of themselves,” but a flexible voucher: they can be converted into FF, used as a criterion for future airdrops, grant access to higher limits in sales and programs, and unlock boosted yield tiers in selected products. In other words, Miles become a universal access layer rather than just points “for show.”
To keep the program from turning into a dry accounting table, Falcon leans on gamification. Miles and the associated Yap2Fly campaign are framed as a system for “leveling up” on-chain behavior: users don’t just accumulate numbers, they unlock tiers, badges, and statuses that are recorded on-chain. This adds an extra psychological layer: you’re not just firing off a few transactions for yield, you’re gradually building a reputation as someone who has been consistently present in the ecosystem.
Seen through a product design lens, the main goal of Falcon Miles is to drastically reduce the share of “mercenaries” who show up for a single incentive round and immediately leave. Because Miles are earned for aggregate behavior over time — especially for long-term flows (mint → stake → use USDf in DeFi) — short-lived activity spikes become much less attractive. A user who simply blasts volume in a single day will lose out to the one who steadily holds positions, participates in several tracks, and stakes FF.
For the protocol itself, this becomes a growth engine for USDf and sUSDf. A portion of Miles tasks is explicitly aimed at expanding on-chain use of the stablecoin: adding liquidity in new networks, participating in lending platforms, integrating into trading strategies. The more broadly USDf is used, the more robust the entire “engine” becomes: issuance demand, fee flows, market depth — and with them, the base for all subsequent FF campaigns.
There’s also a direct impact on FF tokenomics. The Miles program is funded from FF allocation pools and at the same time creates additional demand for the token through staking and buybacks during Miles redemptions. An investor looking at FF now has to consider not only the classic picture of a “fuel” and governance token, but also how Miles reallocate future reward flows in favor of the most active and loyal participants.
Naturally, this system comes with risks. Any points program invites attempts to “game the volume” via scripts, Sybil accounts, and artificial liquidity shuffling. To keep Falcon Miles from turning into just another mindless farming season, the protocol has to build in tiers and thresholds: minimum amounts, time windows, weights for different activity types, and checks on how diversified and persistent a user’s actions are. Parts of this logic are already visible in the separation of tracks and bonuses, and over time the filters may become stricter still.
Properly calibrated, however, Falcon gains not only loyalty but also valuable data on on-chain user behavior. Miles become a sort of behavioral index: they show which activity patterns drive sustainable growth and which ones only generate short-term noise. That matters both for internal protocol tuning and for partners who want to launch campaigns based on real — not imagined — user engagement.
For institutional and advanced users, Miles are also interesting as a segmentation tool. High Miles balances are a signal: this is not a random wallet, but an address with a long history in the USDf economy. Such a participant can be prioritized in sales, receive better product limits, and gain access to expanded strategies — in this sense, Miles act as an on-chain credit history analogue. In combination with FF, this reinforces the idea that the token is not just something to trade, but a key to a whole set of privileges.
Ultimately, Falcon Miles is not just a “loyalty program,” but a layer that stitches together user behavior, FF value, and USDf growth into a single system. Through it, the protocol teaches people to think not in isolated “airdrop seasons,” but in terms of a journey: holding and using USDf, staking sUSDf, earning and reinvesting yield, locking FF, participating in governance — all of this reflected in an on-chain Miles balance. If this model takes root, Falcon will get exactly what many DeFi projects lack: a base of participants for whom “being in the ecosystem” matters more than simply “grab the reward and leave.”
@Falcon Finance #FalconFinance $FF

If you look at on-chain finance through the eyes of an institutional investor, today they see two major doors. The first leads into the world of tokenized real-world assets: bonds, treasuries, structured products that have moved onto blockchains with almost no change in economic substance. The second opens into a more “crypto-native” zone, where Bitcoin becomes working capital and protocols like @Lorenzo Protocol build multi-layered yield infrastructure around it. The question is not which of these worlds is more interesting, but which of them will find it easier to convince serious capital to come in.
On-chain RWA platforms offer institutions an extremely familiar picture. Essentially, they deal with the same government bonds, corporate debt, money market funds, or private credit — just with an added layer of liquidity and transparency thanks to tokenization. The volume of such assets on public blockchains has already crossed into the tens of billions of dollars, and growth between 2022 and 2025 has been running at double-digit annual rates. For conservative capital this is intuitive: the underlying remains the same, only the technology of access and settlement changes.
#LorenzoProtocolBANK , by contrast, was born not out of the world of traditional securities but from Bitcoin infrastructure. The protocol started as a way to turn staked BTC into liquid, yield-bearing tokens and then evolved into a full-fledged on-chain asset management layer: multichain, integrated with dozens of protocols and, at cycle peaks, handling hundreds of millions of dollars in deposits. Its current focus is on institution-grade strategies built on top of Bitcoin: a combination of staking, restaking, liquidity provisioning, and more “traditional” yield instruments, all wrapped into programmable on-chain products.
Why is the first instinct of many institutions to look at RWAs? Because those fit directly into existing mandates and processes. The language of risk and return doesn’t change: we are still talking about basis points on treasuries, credit pools, and funds — they just happen to trade and settle on-chain. Yields on tokenized treasury instruments today are comparable to their off-chain counterparts, and regulatory frameworks in key jurisdictions are gradually clarifying. For legal and compliance teams, this looks like “old assets, new rails.”
But the RWA approach has its own limitations — and that is exactly where Lorenzo’s opportunity appears. First, liquidity in many tokenized instruments is still shallow: the secondary market is deepest for short-term paper and certain types of debt, but more complex asset classes trade thinly. Second, a platform can be technologically on-chain while the surrounding business processes remain heavy: off-chain custody, full KYC, complex onboarding procedures. For some participants this is a feature, for others — a brake.
Lorenzo, on the other hand, is built as a “financial engine” on top of Bitcoin and other on-chain assets rather than as a direct competitor to real-world tokenization. Returns in its products are composed of several layers: strategies on Bitcoin derivatives and liquidity, restaking, access to yield-bearing instruments such as treasuries and other “soft” RWAs, plus DeFi liquidity routing mechanics. All of this is packaged into on-chain funds and tokenized positions that can be held as easily as any other token.
If we look purely at the criterion of “ease of capital onboarding,” the first round advantage obviously lies with RWA platforms. They offer exactly what institutions have been buying for decades — just with the bonus of 24/7 liquidity and transparency. Tokenized asset volumes are growing, dedicated conferences and reports are emerging, and regulators in a number of jurisdictions are already spelling out the rules of the game. In that environment, it is much easier to sell the idea of “digitized bonds” than to explain in detail how a multi-strategy layer on top of Bitcoin fits into a fund’s risk management infrastructure.
But if we narrow the focus to crypto-native institutions — funds, trading firms, market makers, and family offices that have been working with BTC for a long time — the picture changes. For them, Bitcoin is not an abstract “risky asset,” but a core balance sheet position. The ability to turn BTC into liquid collateral that simultaneously earns yield and contributes to the security of other networks and products is far more interesting than yet another tokenized bond. This is the space Lorenzo aims at: it turns BTC into a multifunctional working asset with a clear on-chain and off-chain track record.
The regulatory dimension matters more than it may seem. On-chain RWAs often fit into existing legal frameworks: they can be treated as fund shares, digital bonds, or other familiar instruments — just with a new form of record-keeping. Lorenzo ($BANK ) sits at several perimeters at once: Bitcoin as the base asset, derivative and staking strategies, elements of RWA yield, plus decentralized governance. For some institutions, that layered structure is a challenge: it has to be explained to regulators, auditors, and the risk office. For more flexible players, however, it is an opportunity to build a product line that goes far beyond “online bonds.”
From an operational standpoint, the RWA approach wins on integration simplicity. To purchase a tokenized package of securities, an institution usually just needs to hook its custodian into the relevant network, complete whitelisting, and plug the new instrument into its existing reporting stack. With Lorenzo, the to-do list is longer: setting up secure Bitcoin operations, sometimes interacting with restaking infrastructure, understanding the specifics of multichain routing, and assessing additional smart contract risk. As a first step into on-chain finance, that threshold can indeed look too high.
However, once across that threshold, the institution does not just gain access to a single token — it gets a conveyor of strategies. Lorenzo is building an architecture where fairly complex portfolio ideas can be expressed through one or two programmable positions: blending BTC exposure, treasury income, elements of basis trading, restaking, and other components inside a single on-chain wrapper. This is no longer simply “replacing an existing bond with a digital analogue,” but a new class of products closer to funds and structured notes — with full on-chain transparency.
There is another key angle: risk/return. An on-chain RWA portfolio typically offers modest but stable yields with volatility close to traditional markets. Lorenzo’s products, by design, will carry more risk: exposure to Bitcoin, restaking, and DeFi infrastructure all add moving parts. For the most conservative players, the first step will almost certainly be toward RWAs. For those already comfortable with crypto market risk, richer return profiles and the ability to treat BTC as a portfolio core make Lorenzo a natural next step.
Governance and incentive alignment also differ. In most RWA models, the end investor has little influence over how the platform is structured: parameters are set by the operator, and token holders effectively “vote with capital” but not with design decisions. Lorenzo has a governance token and a decentralized decision layer through which large holders can genuinely influence strategy parameters, risk profiles, revenue distribution, and product development. For some institutions, this is a plus — they can co-design the rules rather than blindly accept them. For others, it’s a minus — not everyone wants exposure to DAO politics.
If we try to sum up the interim picture, it turns out to be fairly straightforward. On-chain RWA platforms will almost certainly win the race for traditional institutional capital: insurers, pension funds, conservative asset managers, and corporate treasuries. Wherever familiarity with regulatory frameworks, predictable returns, and minimal process changes are paramount, tokenized real-world assets make more sense.
Lorenzo, meanwhile, has a strong case for leadership in a different segment — among players who already treat Bitcoin as part of their core portfolio and are ready for more complex products. For them, the protocol offers something RWAs do not: deep BTC integration, multichain access, a strategy “constructor,” and the ability to gradually mix RWA yield into a crypto-native architecture. As these two worlds converge, the advantage may shift toward hybrid solutions — and Lorenzo is being built precisely as such a hybrid bridge.
Ultimately, the question “who can attract institutional capital more easily?” has no single definitive answer. In the first lap of the race, those who tokenize familiar assets and package them in the most recognizable form will likely lead. In the next, those who learn to combine Bitcoin, RWAs, and on-chain infrastructure into new classes of portfolio products will take the edge. Lorenzo is playing exactly this second game: not so much competing with the RWA approach as complementing it, turning Bitcoin into a fully-fledged building block for institutional strategies. And if that vision succeeds, the debate over who finds it “easier” to attract capital will give way to a more interesting question: who can do more with the capital once it arrives.

When we talk about @Yield Guild Games , we usually recall numbers: how many people went through scholarships, how many games are connected, how many on-chain quests were completed. But behind these charts lies something much more fragile — the mental state of people for whom gaming has become work, a source of income, a social environment, and part of their identity all at once. In such a configuration, mental health stops being a “purely personal matter” and turns into an infrastructure factor: either the guild accounts for it, or it starts paying for neglect through burnout, conflicts, and the breakdown of communities.
What makes $YGG special is that from the very beginning it has not just been a “clan of like-minded players,” but a network of guilds that help people enter web3 games, access NFT assets, and earn. Scholarship programs, where the guild provides in-game assets and participants share revenue with it, have long been part of YGG’s DNA. For many, this was their first experience of earning through games, often in countries with unstable economies. And this is exactly where the psychological load becomes highest: when your in-game performance is, in effect, tied to paying a bill in the real world.
The triple role of gaming — as work, as social interaction, and as income — creates a unique cocktail of stress. On the one hand, a person has no “separated” spaces: no environment where they just play for fun, detached from earnings; no office outside the home; no independent “social circle” not tied to tokens. Everything is mixed into a single screen, a single account, a single guild. Any conflict in chat, any unsuccessful season, any drop in earnings hits at once: self-esteem, wallet, and the sense of belonging to the community.
On top of this, there are the specific risks of web3 gaming. Income is unstable and depends on token prices and market conditions. Game rules and program structures can change quickly: today rewards are generous, tomorrow the mechanics are redesigned and you need to relearn everything. Many players live in different time zones, constantly adjusting to raids, events, and quest deadlines. Without clear personal boundaries, this leads to classic burnout: the feeling that you are “always behind,” that rest is a luxury, and any break is equivalent to lost opportunities.
At the guild level, this shows up as more than just reduced activity. Burned-out members communicate worse, fall into conflicts more often, are less patient with newcomers, and are less likely to take on leadership roles. In a system where on-chain reputation and participation history are becoming an important part of a player’s “digital CV,” this is especially visible: a person simply stops completing quests, drops out of programs, and doesn’t respond to new initiatives. Formally they’re still in the guild, but in practice they’ve become a “digital shadow.”
At the same time, #YGGPlay has a structural advantage: its guilds were built from the start around ideas of support and mentorship. The scholarship model has always implied the presence of managers and mentors who not only allocate assets, but also explain game mechanics, help newcomers, and are responsible for their progress. If this role is expanded just a bit — from purely technical coaching to broader “careful onboarding” — it becomes a key element of burnout prevention: newcomers are not left alone with expectations and stress.
An important part of a guild’s mental architecture is how it frames goals. If all communication is built around “maximize your earnings,” “don’t miss the season,” “every hour counts,” then any break is perceived as failure. If, instead, the narrative centers on skill growth, community participation, and long-term reputation, income becomes a secondary — though still important — effect. YGG is already moving toward reputation models with on-chain marks for participation and achievements, and this is an important step: it shifts the focus from pure “farm racing” to a more sustainable development trajectory for each player.
In practical terms, guilds can do simple but powerful things. For example, they can explicitly state that “game = work” does not mean “game = 24/7.” They can build in seasonal breaks and lighter periods between intensive campaigns, introduce quests with no financial pressure — purely social or educational ones. They can avoid chasing metrics at any cost and define success not only as growth in on-chain activity, but also as, say, the percentage of members who stay in the guild for more than a year without serious conflicts or complaints.
Another layer is guild communication culture. Where the tone is built on toxic jokes, constant comparison of incomes, and aggressive criticism of mistakes, the mental load multiplies. In an environment where gaming is also work, that atmosphere feels like a “toxic office” you can’t leave without losing your income. That’s why the role of moderation, clear behavioral rules, and quick reaction to harassment in YGG guilds shouldn’t be underestimated: this is not just “etiquette,” it is a direct investment in community resilience.
In the on-chain world, it’s especially easy to forget that behind a nickname and avatar there is a real person — with debts, a family, health issues, local crises. In the context of YGG, this is magnified by the fact that many participants originally came from vulnerable economies where play-to-earn became one of the few accessible ways to make money. For them, losing income due to burnout is not an abstraction. It is therefore critical to build guild practices that don’t shame people for being exhausted, but help them move through it with minimal damage.
At the level of tools, a guild can experiment with simple care mechanisms. Regular check-ins with squad leaders, anonymous feedback forms, chat rooms for conversations “not about tokens,” softer events like watch parties or game discussions without performance pressure. On top of that, educational modules on how to work from home, set up a sleep schedule, cope with stress, and avoid being stuck in a constant chase for quests. In an ecosystem already accustomed to on-chain learning (quests, GAP, super-quests), adding this layer is a logical extension.
There is also a more structural level — how the guild’s economic model is intertwined with people’s wellbeing. If income depends too heavily on daily grind, with no possibility of flexible schedules or accumulated “buffers,” players are doomed to constantly fear missing something important. If, instead, the reward system accounts for long-term contributions rather than just recent activity, a person gets room to rest and recover. With its emphasis on on-chain reputation and “digital CVs,” YGG can afford to play the long game, not just chase today’s leaderboards.
Mental health also matters in how guilds interact with external partners. When brands look at YGG guilds as venues for campaigns and sponsorships, they care not only about reach, but also about quality of engagement: how deeply people are involved, how they perceive integrations, and whether there is “hidden burnout” where members perform tasks mechanically. A guild that can demonstrate that its community is not stretched to the limit, but lives in a healthy rhythm, becomes a more attractive partner in purely economic terms as well.
In the long run, those YGG guilds that integrate mental health care not as a one-off “volunteer project,” but as a design component — from quest schedules to on-chain reputation — will have a clear advantage. They will lose fewer people to burnout, face internal crises less often, and be better prepared to adapt to shifts in games and market cycles. In a world where gaming is increasingly becoming work, a social network, and a source of income all at once, community resilience starts not with tokenomics, but with how carefully it treats its members.
And perhaps the main takeaway is simple: mental health in YGG guilds is not a “soft topic” that can be postponed for better times. It is as fundamental a resource as liquidity or on-chain reputation. It cannot be spent endlessly without reinvestment. If we want to see guilds not as single-use farming machines, but as long-lived digital organizations, we have to learn to build processes so that a person in YGG can not only earn and play, but also stay in contact with themselves, their own rhythm, and their own boundaries. That will be the truly “sustainable model” in a world where everything else changes far too quickly.
@Yield Guild Games #YGGPlay $YGG

When we talk about Injective’s tokenomics, the conversation usually revolves around its deflationary narrative: dynamic inflation for network security plus aggressive burning via fee auctions. In a normal market, this looks like a neat story — “the more activity, the more scarce #INJ becomes.” But any model is truly tested not in bull markets, but in stress scenarios. So what happens if trading volumes in $INJ — both on-chain and on external venues — drop by 80–90% and stay there for a prolonged period?
First, let’s recap the basic mechanics. #injective supply is shaped by two opposing flows: inflationary issuance and deflationary burning. Injective’s inflation is dynamic: the target staking ratio is around 85%, and the inflation rate itself moves within a corridor of roughly 5–10% per year (with plans to gradually narrow that to 4–7%), depending on how many tokens are actually staked. Burning is implemented via the burn auction: a portion of dApp fees (historically around 60% of total fees) is aggregated into a basket of assets that is then auctioned for INJ; the winning INJ bid is destroyed.
It’s important to be precise about what we are stress-testing: we’re interested in a collapse in trading volumes specifically in INJ, not in every asset in the ecosystem. INJ trading is an indicator of interest in the token, its liquidity, and the strength of speculative demand. Indirectly, it also affects on-chain activity: lower volumes in INJ pairs mean less arbitrage, less incentive for traders and market makers to run strategies centered around the token. In most cases, a sharp drop in INJ volumes goes hand in hand with a broader cooling toward the ecosystem, which means lower fee generation and, consequently, smaller burn volumes.
In normal conditions, the picture looks very different. With healthy volumes and network utilization, fee auctions can burn a meaningful share of new issuance and, during periods of heightened activity, even push the system into a net deflationary regime — where more INJ is burned over a year than is minted via inflation. Millions of tokens have already been removed from circulation through this mechanism, and the network actively positions INJ as an asset with a strong deflationary component.
Now imagine the first stress scenario: INJ trading volumes fall by 80–90%, but other on-chain activity declines only moderately. In this case, the primary pressure is on token liquidity and volatility. Spreads widen, orderbook depth thins, and it becomes harder for large players to enter and exit positions without significant slippage. Burn auctions continue to operate, but their “fuel” is reduced: less turnover means fewer fees, fewer fees mean fewer INJ being sent to the fire. Formally, the model remains deflationary, but its effectiveness drops sharply: instead of offsetting a significant portion of inflation, burning becomes a thin layer on top of relatively “plain” issuance.
In a harsher scenario, the collapse in INJ volumes is accompanied by a comparable drop in on-chain activity overall: derivatives trading shrinks, liquidity in pools thins out, and the number of operations involving other tokens within the ecosystem falls. dApp fees contract multiple times over, and consequently, the baskets feeding the burn auctions become much smaller. Meanwhile, inflation does not disappear: blocks are still issuing new INJ to validators and delegators, and if the staking ratio also declines, the protocol may even increase inflation in an attempt to pull staking back toward the target. The result is that net token supply settles into a persistently inflationary mode, and the deflationary narrative becomes more of a historical anecdote than a current reality.
Staking economics suffer as well. Validator and delegator income is composed of inflationary rewards and a share of fees. If fees “dry up” due to lower activity and volumes, and the INJ price is under pressure from weak demand, real yield in monetary terms can collapse even if double-digit APR in token terms is maintained. In such an environment, some delegators will prefer to unbond and move into stablecoins or other assets, which further depresses the actual staking rate. The dynamic inflation mechanism responds by raising the rate, but that once again means more new issuance on top of an ever-weaker burn.
From a network security perspective, the picture becomes ambiguous. On the one hand, inflation that adjusts to staking attempts to preserve sufficient economic collateral: when the fraction of staked tokens drops, the system “inflates” rewards to incentivize staking. On the other hand, if INJ’s price and liquidity are both falling, even a high nominal APR may not be enough to compensate for perceived risk. The economic cost of attacking the network declines in real terms, and those who remain in staking end up with an ever-larger share of power. This raises the risk of centralization and dependency on a handful of large validators or staking providers.
The psychological effect shouldn’t be overlooked either. Deflationary tokenomics are often built as narratives: “we burn X tokens every week,” “total supply will never exceed Y.” Once users see that absolute burn amounts have fallen several-fold while issuance continues, the narrative breaks. Holders start to reassess INJ’s role: is it still a “deflationary asset of the future,” or just a regular network token with dynamic inflation and relatively weak value capture? The answer to this question directly shapes their willingness to hold the token long term.
The protocol does retain several lines of defense. First is INJ’s multi-role nature: it’s needed not just for speculation and staking, but also for gas payments, governance participation, collateral in some application types, deposits, and so on. This creates a baseline level of demand that isn’t directly tied to trading volumes. Second is the multichain and modular architecture: Injective was designed from the outset as a platform for multiple types of dApps, not just a single market segment. In theory, this allows the ecosystem to offset a drop in pure trading activity with other usage patterns.
In response to stress scenarios, the protocol can also move along the parameter-tuning dimension. One already discussed direction is gradually lowering the inflation bounds (for example, toward a 4–7% corridor as part of tokenomics evolution), which reduces mandatory issuance even as the system tries to sustain a high staking ratio. Another potential lever is revisiting the fee split between burning, dApps, and validators, to support ecosystem resilience during low-volume periods without completely dismantling the deflationary logic.
For investors, this stress model implies that looking only at current burn numbers and APR is not enough. You need to track several key indicators: total on-chain turnover, especially in core protocol modules; the volume of fees flowing into burn auctions; net token issuance (issuance minus burns) as a percentage of circulating supply; the actual staking ratio and its trend; and the breakdown of validator revenues by source. Together, these metrics provide a more honest view of how tokenomics will behave if interest in INJ temporarily or structurally weakens.
At the protocol strategy level, the core question in such scenarios is: “Is the system designed to survive extended low-activity periods without losing its defining properties?” If the deflationary effect completely “switches off” when volumes drop, and the security and staking models deteriorate significantly, that’s a sign the design is over-optimized for a bull market. If, on the other hand, the parameters allow the system to remain at least moderately neutral in net supply, maintain acceptable validator incentives, and avoid killing dApp economics, then the tokenomics have truly passed a resilience test.
In the end, modeling an 80–90% drop in INJ trading volumes highlights a simple truth: Injective’s deflationary story is not magic — it’s a function of specific fee flows and inflation settings. In good times, these mechanisms create strong positive effects and amplify growth. In stress scenarios, they can flip into accelerated supply accumulation and price pressure if parameters are not adjusted and if the token’s broader utility is not fully leveraged. That’s why INJ should be viewed not only through the lens of today’s burn figures, but also through the question of how ready its tokenomics are for quiet periods — when the market stops reinforcing beautiful narratives and leaves the protocol face-to-face with its own architecture.

Бывший председатель Комиссии по ценным бумагам и биржам США (SEC) Гэри Генслер снова предупредил инвесторов о связанных с криптовалютами рисках, назвав большую часть активов «крайне спекулятивными». Об этом он заявил в интервью Bloomberg.
По его мнению, лишь биткоин подходит под определение товара, в то время как остальные монеты не предлагают «дивидендов» или «обычной доходности».
Генслер подчеркнул, что сейчас на крипторынке сложилась именно та ситуация, которой он опасался во время своего срока на посту председателя — интерес мировой общественности к классу цифровых активов не соответствует их фундаментальным принципам.
«Тысячи других токенов, и я даже не про обеспеченные долларами США стейблкоины, а о тысячах других. Нужно задать себе вопрос: каков их фундаментал? Что лежит в их основе? Инвесторам нужно осознавать эти риски», — указал экс-чиновник.
На вопрос, является ли текущее положение итогом прихода к власти президента Дональда Трампа, бывший глава SEC ответил отрицательно. По его словам, это больше касается справедливости рынков капитала и «здравых правил дорожного движения», чем «противоборства демократов и республиканцев».
Касательно ETF Генслер отметил, что финансы «еще со времен античности двигались к централизации», поэтому интеграция блокчейна с традиционной финансовой системой для него не стала неожиданностью.
Напомним, в сентябре SEC сообщила о потере переписки Генслера за период с октября 2022 по сентябрь 2023 года, связанную также с крипторегулированием.

От частного к государственному
Биткоин прошел долгую историю становления от проекта нескольких энтузиастов до самой большой и защищенной PoW-сети в мире. В 2010 году его хешрейт преодолел отметку в 1 GH/s и продолжил неуклонно расти. Сейчас этот показатель находится в районе 1 ZH/s, это приблизительно составляет 20–25 ГВт·ч энергопотребления в сутки, которые обходятся в $800–1000 млн.
Одним из наиболее сложных периодов в истории $BTC стал 2017 год. Дискуссия о размере блока не привела к консенсусу, и в сети произошел хардфорк. Это дало появление сначала проекту Bitcoin Cash, а затем еще нескольким форкам первой криптовалюты. Однако до 2025 года дожил лишь Bitcoin Cash, за которым стоит Роджер Вер.
Длительное время предприниматель находился в опале, но в этом году ему удалось заключить выгодную сделку с американскими властями. Фигура Вера окутана экстравагантным ореолом. В начале пути он провозгласил себя «биткоин-Иисусом», не без конфликтов монетизировал доменное имя Bitcoin.com, а к 2017 году личный авторитет позволил ему осуществить успешный хардфорк и создать частную версию цифрового золота.
Теперь, в конце 2025 года, не кажется таким уж фантастическим вопрос: если отдельному человеку удалось осуществить подобный сценарий, почему его не могут повторить даже не корпорации, а целые государства? Здесь воображение способно нарисовать самые мрачные картины.
В начале XXI века всеобщие восторги по поводу миллениума разбились о череду разочарований и трагедий. Кровавые конфликты на Балканском полуострове перешли в тлеющую стадию, а их место в глобальном медиаполе благополучно заняли война в Афганистане и Ираке. Как выяснилось, это было только начало.
К 2010 году планету захлестнула череда по-настоящему масштабных противостояний. Судя по ситуации и риторике глобальных лидеров, этот процесс может в скором времени перерасти в своего рода «мировую децентрализованную войну».
Она неизбежно отразится и на криптовалютах — и прежде всего на биткоине. Дело не в изменении цены первой криптовалюты или усилении контроля и различных ограничений, но в серии новых разделений цифрового золота через хардфорки. К ним могут быть причастны государства, которые сегодня активно пополняют биткоин-резервы новыми монетами.
На данный момент распределение хешрейта первой криптовалюты по странам выглядит следующим образом:

Еще интереснее обстоит дело с распределением монет. Приведенные ниже данные отражают приблизительную информацию о количестве биткоинов под контролем отдельных стран: 

Существуют и так называемые биткоины Сатоши или попросту монеты ранних участников сети, принадлежность которых не установлена, доступ к части из них предположительно утрачен. Их суммарное количество по разным данным оценивается так:
От 500 000 до 1,5 млн BTC — «монеты Сатоши».От 2 млн до 4 млн BTC — «утерянные» монеты.
Но зачем государствам, ведущим войну, вообще форкать биткоин? Это способ сократить стоимость монет противника, поскольку разделение сети неизбежно приведет к перераспределению ликвидности между новыми цепями.
Также это способ существенно ограничить возможные финансовые операции противника в своей экономической зоне. Предположим, все биткоины после хардфорка принадлежат его инициатору. Соответственно, у противника не остается ресурсов в альтернативной сети и он больше не может использовать инфраструктуру, на которую полагался ранее. Так как инициатива исходит от государства, все крупные биржи и обменники в зоне его влияния не будут поддерживать вражескую цепочку. 
Предшествовать хардфорку, вероятнее всего, будет цензурирование транзакций в отдельных экономических зонах. Это может быть сделано с помощью контроля майнеров, а также KYC/AML-инструментов. Последние станут просто исключать прием, обработку средств с определенных адресов. Майнеры будут игнорировать их транзакции, биржи блокировать средства и так далее. Это, по большому счету, очередные санкции. Но их вряд ли будет достаточно, чтобы нанести существенный ущерб противнику. 
Куда более выгодным сценарием является именно хардфорк. Он не только повлечет за собой ограбление противника, но и вызовет панику на рынке и в обществе. 
Биткоин не был первым протоколом, который столкнулся с последствиями хардфорка. Другим ярким примером стало разделение Ethereum на две цепочки после краха The DAO в 2015 году и появление Ethereum Classic. Сегодня ETH успешно перешел на PoS, а его альтернативная версия по-прежнему работает на PoW в силу идеологических причин. Так случился прецедент, который легитимизировал все будущие хардфорки.
В случае разрастания «децентрализованной мировой войны» новый хардфорк биткоина неизбежен. Это также станет триггером для аналогичных процессов во многих других PoW- и PoS-сетях. 
Как защититься или снизить риски? Сложно спрогнозировать все вызовы, с которыми столкнутся пользователи в случае подобного развития событий. Ключевые риски, скорее всего, будут связаны с централизованными платформами. Во-первых, участникам рынка потребуется время, чтобы разобраться с последствиями и интегрировать ту или иную цепочку. Во-вторых, многие крупные игроки (в первую очередь биржи) столкнутся с давлением со стороны сразу нескольких государств.
Как Океания, Евразия и Остазия делили биткоин
Смоделируем, как хардфорк биткоина произошел бы во вселенной романа Джорджа Оруэлла «1984», где большая часть мира разделена на три сверхдержавы: Океания, Евразия и Остазия. 
В этой реальности существует четыре версии биткоина:
Bitcoin Ocean; Bitcoin Eurasia;Bitcoin OST;Bitcoin Core — изначальная версия сети, участники которой не приняли ни один из хардфорков от сверхдержав и поддерживают нейтральную сеть, работающую на изначальных принципах первой криптовалюты. 
Как же все начиналось? В один прекрасный день президент Океании объявил войну Евразии. В ответ Евразия совместно с Остазией анонсировала хардфорк биткоина. Благодаря контролю над значительным количеством майнеров противники Океании быстро осуществили хардфорк под названием Bitcoin Global. Им удалось привлечь порядка 70% хешрейта, а также значительную часть ликвидности. 
Помимо отделения от сегмента сети, связанного с Океанией, разделение цепи предусматривало перемещение всех монет, которые оставались без движения более 10 лет, на подконтрольные Bitcoin Global Foundation (BGF) адреса.
Тем временем Океания была вынуждена инициировать собственный хардфорк и ввести на своей территории прямое управление всеми майнинговыми компаниями и биржевыми площадками. Сверхдержава потеряла свыше 70% биткоин-сбережений из-за разделения сети и панических реакций рынка. 
Пока Океания оставалась наедине с новыми проблемами, что-то пошло не так в Bitcoin Global. Несколько чиновников BGF похитили все монеты, полученные в результате изъятия ранних биткоинов, и бесследно исчезли. Попутно они продали не менее половины похищенных активов, обвалив курс. 
Власти обеих стран начали обвинять друг друга в случившемся, эти события привели к расколу между союзниками. Остазия запустила собственный хардфорк и назвала новую сеть Bitcoin OST. Вскоре после этого Евразия выдвинула Остазии требования по передаче всех украденных монет в ее распоряжение. Вместо ответа руководство Остазии объявило войну Евразии. 
Пока разворачивалось все это безумие, небольшая группа энтузиастов продолжила поддерживать оригинальный Bitcoin Core. Благодаря оперативности и нескольким обновлениям безопасности им удалось сохранить около 10% вычислительных мощностей и ликвидности сети.
Каждый из новых биткоинов, кроме Bitcoin Core, также получил ряд дополнительных свойств. Где-то это контроль над обратимостью транзакций со стороны государства, где-то создание аккаунта только после полной идентификации и раскрытия личности. От изначального биткоина в этих сетях осталось не так много. Однако тот самый оригинальный Bitcoin Core все же выжил и продолжил существовать. 
На этом, пожалуй, оставим Океанию, Остазию и Евразию наедине с множеством биткоинов и вернемся в 2025 год. 
Напряженность в мире нарастает с каждым днем, унося тысячи жизней. Продолжение этого процесса приведет в том числе к разделению биткоина. Сегодня суммарная капитализация рынка цифровых валют не так велика, если сравнивать ее, скажем, с показателем мирового ВВП. Однако криптовалюты уже давно доказали свою инструментальную полезность не только сторонникам децентрализации и свободных денег, но и участникам международного политического процесса. 
Вероятно, новое разделение биткоина станет основой для финансовой стратификации общества. В такой реальности лояльность к той или иной сети будет определять не только географию и политические взгляды участников сети, но и всю их социально-экономическую реальность. Какой биткоин выберете вы?
