zkrollup

Brothers, put the shovels in your hands down for a moment. Today we’re not making calls, and we’re not analyzing candlestick charts—let’s dig into what’s been getting a lot of buzz lately: @grvt_io

The project name really does carry weight—Mixed Derivatives DEX. On one side, it touts CEX-level performance (600,000 TPS, sub-millisecond latency), and on the other, it’s waving the flag of ZK self-custody. Sounds pretty enticing, right? It’s basically combining the speed of CEX with the safety of DEX—made in heaven. But when I looked through its underlying architecture in detail, especially that self-developed ZK circuit, the hair on my back stood up.

L2BEAT flagged this issue before, but many people didn’t pay attention: to handle complex order matching, margin calculation, and settlement logic, GRVT built an extremely complicated custom ZK circuit. This thing is not in the same league as ordinary ZK payment projects. With circuits, it’s all about mathematical constraints—being off by the slightest margin can lead to major consequences. Add too many constraints, and proof generation fails, causing the system to stall. Add too few, and hackers can construct “valid-looking” fake proofs, directly tampering with account balances to drain the pool.

Even more troublesome: @grvt_io is deeply bound to a specific Boojum proof-system version and trusted setup. What does that mean? It means every time the underlying code is upgraded, you’d have to perform a high-difficulty “heart transplant” each time. And if the batch verification step fails due to version compatibility issues, then withdrawals and settlements across the entire network will effectively hit a pause button—blocking the whole process.

What really makes me speechless is the documentation. For a high-risk “core area” like this, the official docs are surprisingly vague about emergency measures after “verification failure.” If something goes wrong, how do you roll back? How do you arbitrate? You’re basically left guessing.

To put it bluntly, the security of ZK self-custody is built on the ideal assumption of “zero vulnerabilities.” Once there’s a hole in the circuit, self-custody becomes self-destruction. I appreciate GRVT’s technical vision, but I’m cautious about the maturity of this beta-stage engineering. On the 21st, I’ll only dare to pay a bit of “meal money” to feel the sub-millisecond smoothness. As for going heavy on it? Let them audit that pile of complex circuits thoroughly first.

Brothers, do you think there are many hidden traps in this kind of high-performance ZK rollup? See you in the comments.

📚 Zero-Knowledge Rollups: Ethereum's Scalability Engine
On June 29, 2026, Loopring's closure makes headlines. What is a zk-rollup? It bundles thousands of off-chain transactions and submits a single validity proof to Ethereum $ETH . This reduces fees and increases throughput while inheriting L1 security. ZK-rollups offer faster finality than optimistic rollups. The technology is complex but crucial for Ethereum's scaling roadmap. They are the endgame for L2 scaling.

📌 Key Takeaway:
ZK-rollups are the endgame for Ethereum scaling — combining security, speed, and low costs in one elegant solution.

Loopring DEX is shutting down: zk-rollup’s pioneering pathfinder has finally finished its race

Loopring, the first zk-rollup protocol on Ethereum, has announced the immediate closure of its DEX services.

The team is very straightforward: no virtual machine, no composability, no payment use cases—the ecosystem just can’t grow. “We’re engineers, not businessmen.”

The data is ruthless: TVL has fallen from $760 million in July 2021 to $8 million today, and the LRC token has dropped from 3.75 to 0.013. The wallet service was already shut down last July—this time is the final blow.

However, the protocol itself is still running, and the team will refund remaining funds to users along with transaction fees. But what happens next? No one says.

In 2026, more than 60 crypto projects have already shut down. Loopring proved that zk-rollups are feasible, but later entrants with better architectures have overtaken it. The fate of a pioneer is probably something like this. $LRC #zkrollup #DeFi

📊 STARK: $0.036 for the ZK leader, should you jump in now or take a knife?

Starknet validators have crossed 700, and the DA landscape is quietly shifting.

What’s your excuse for missing ZK in 2025?

Current BTC at $66,510, ETH at $1,790, fear index at 11.

——

STARK is the native token of Starknet, which is based on the ZK-STARK proof Ethereum L2 network, currently with a TVL of around $800M, far ahead of other ZK Rollups.

🔑 Why pay attention now?

1️⃣ Validator Milestone: The number of Starknet validators has surpassed 700 nodes, growing over 50% since Q4 2025. Increased decentralization means significant enhancement in mainnet security.

2️⃣ Upcoming Staking Vote: The Starknet Foundation plans to launch a STRK staking reward proposal within June. If passed, the estimated annual yield of 5-8% will directly boost passive income expectations for holders, sparking demand for locking.

3️⃣ Cairo std lib v0.13.2 Launch: Improved developer experience, lower compliance costs for DeFi application deployment, and a 23% growth in ecosystem applications over the past 30 days.

💰 Key Data
• Token Price: $0.036 (historical high of $3.22, down -98.9%)
• FDV: Approximately $1.1B
• Circulation Rate: About 48% (tokens are still unlocking)
• Major Unlock Pressure: Institutional shares will be fully unlocked before Q3 2026

⚠️ Risks
• Uncertainty in staking vote outcomes
• Crowded ZK Rollup space: zkSync and Polygons zkEVM continue to siphon off users
• Token inflation pressure has not been fully absorbed

🎯 Trading Reference
• Conservative Range: $0.040–0.045 (20% upside)
• Aggressive Range: Break above $0.060 + confirmation signal from staking passing (50%+ upside)
• Stop Loss: $0.028 (break below this would damage the trend)

THEA turns its “predictive behavior AI” into on-chain infrastructure, using game theory models to analyze market behavior data, and then directly deploying autonomous decision-making agents onto the blockchain—specializing in high-volatility environments like derivatives and prediction markets.

Its core “three-strike” approach: user behavior modeling, abnormal transaction detection, and real-time predictive simulation. Under the hood, it’s compatible with ZK Rollup ecosystems like Starknet—essentially adding a “mind-reading + response” middleware layer to derivatives protocols.

Just after securing a $8 million strategic round, Spartan, Manifold Trading, Hack VC, and Fisher8 Capital all entered the stage together. With capital clustered from market-making backgrounds, the direction is already unmistakable: real money betting on the narrative of “trader behavior data + AI agents.”

Founded in 2024, registered in the Cayman Islands—its track sits right at the intersection of AI agents and prediction markets. Next, it will come down to how efficiently its on-chain intelligence is deployed and how deeply it can coordinate with the ZK ecosystem.

New Player Joins the AI Prediction Track: THEA Completes an $8 Million Strategic Round of Funding, with Spartan Group, Manifold Trading, Hack VC, and Fisher8 Capital all betting on it.

From a personal perspective, THEA’s differentiation is that it directly plugs a game-theory model into an on-chain Agent—not to do price forecasting, but to analyze user behavior, identify anomalous trades, and continuously simulate an opponent’s moves in real time. Clearly, it’s aiming at high-volatility scenarios like derivatives and prediction markets. With native compatibility with ZK Rollups such as Starknet at the foundation, these autonomous decision-making agents can keep running inference in low-cost environments, making the deployment path more practical than a pure L1 approach.

The fact that both Manifold and Spartan entered at the same time is a signal: market making and quantitative teams have obviously recognized the commercial value of the behavior-modeling layer. On-chain “reading people” may be more valuable than “reading the order book.”

#AI #PredictionMarkets #ZKRollup

THEA completes an $8 million strategic Series A round, with participation from Spartan Group, Manifold Trading, Hack VC, and Fisher8 Capital.

Founded in 2024 and headquartered in the Cayman Islands, the team is moving into an undervalued area: decentralized predictive behavior AI infrastructure.

The core idea is quite interesting: use game theory models to analyze massive market behavioral data, then turn the results into autonomous decision-making intelligence that can be deployed on-chain. The use cases target highly volatile arenas such as derivatives and prediction markets, with capabilities spanning user behavior modeling, anomalous trade detection, and real-time predictive simulations. At the infrastructure layer, it is compatible with ZK Rollup ecosystems such as Starknet.

Personal view: the AI Agent space has already shifted from “chatting” to “making decisions,” and on-chain finance is precisely where the autonomous execution layer with risk-awareness is most lacking. THEA is betting on the data moat in behavioral data: compared with general-purpose large models, focusing vertically on game-theoretic modeling of trading behavior may make differentiation easier. The fact that both Spartan and Hack VC appear in the strategic round roster also suggests that professional institutions have a fairly strong level of recognition for this narrative.

It’s worth watching how this AI Agent side story develops within the ZK Rollup ecosystem.

#AI #PredictionMarket #ZKRollup

THEA completes an $8 million strategic round of financing, with co-investment from Spartan Group, Manifold Trading, Hack VC, and Fisher8 Capital.

This is a pretty interesting direction—combining game theory models with on-chain AI agents, specifically tackling the hard nuts in high-volatility scenarios like derivatives and prediction markets.

Breaking down the core logic:
· Behavioral modeling of users to understand participants’ decision-making inertia
· Identifying abnormal trades to catch tail-risk signals early
· Real-time predictive simulations that enable the agent to autonomously make on-chain decisions

Under the hood, it is compatible with ZK Rollup ecosystems such as Starknet—an important choice. ZK’s low cost and high throughput match the needs of high-frequency calls from AI Agents.

Founded in 2024 and registered in the Cayman Islands, the team’s pace isn’t fast, but the direction is clear. Prediction markets have regained momentum this year; Polymarket has reignited the narrative around the space. However, there aren’t many projects that can actually embed AI-driven decision-making into derivatives trading. THEA is betting on the intersection of “AI Agents + on-chain finance.” If the model performance can deliver, the upside is substantial.

The strategic round was jointly led by a market maker and a Crypto VC, and this investor combination itself suggests the product is positioned more as trading infrastructure rather than a pure application-layer product.

[Financing Watch] THEA completes $8 million strategic round financing

The investor lineup is quite noteworthy: Spartan Group, Manifold Trading, Hack VC, and Fisher8 Capital jointly led the investment, with clear placement by funding targeting the derivatives and market-making direction.

The project does not follow the usual AI Agent track. Instead, it focuses on "Predictive Behavior AI Infrastructure"—using game-theory models to dissect on-chain market behavior data. It packages user-behavior modeling, abnormal trade detection, and real-time predictive simulations into autonomous decision-making agents that can be deployed on-chain. It mainly serves high-volatility scenarios such as derivatives and prediction markets. The underlying layer also supports ZK Rollup ecosystems like Starknet. Its roadmap is closer to "on-chain quantitative infrastructure" rather than generalized chat-style Agents.

From a personal perspective: Manifold and Spartan are both betting on it. The signal leans toward real trading-scenario deployment rather than narrative-driven hype. It is worth watching how it integrates and expands in the prediction market track next. Founded in 2024, headquartered in the Cayman Islands.

No matter how “sexy” the technology is, without an ecosystem it’s just self-pleasure in a graveyard.
Loopring shutting down its DEX is hardly surprising—three years ago it was an L2 star, but now it can’t even prop up a single order book with daily active users.
On the zkRollup track, the “low Gas fees” narrative alone can’t keep up with the competition anymore. If real demand doesn’t come in, it’s hard to say whether the mainnet can even survive.
The remaining value anchors are only the wallet and the protocol layer—but that kind of imagination can’t support any premium.😮‍💨 #Layer2 #zkRollup $LRC

$LIT quietly pushed up to 1.21, and those who were bearish on PerpDEX got their faces slapped.

This sudden surge isn’t just riding the hype; it’s backed by solid logic.
Zero fees for new users, ZK-Rollup ramping up transaction speeds to CEX levels, and upgraded RFQ institutional liquidity.
It perfectly aligns with Hyperliquid leading the PerpDEX race, big whale transactions are proof, not just empty hype from random low-cap coins.

Don’t try to apply altcoin logic to LIT; this is a top-tier opportunity.
Previously, PerpDEX was either deep in the red or had fees higher than CEX.
LIT has directly attracted institutional liquidity, creating a massive hole in the moat of CEX derivatives, with whales buying into the breakthrough expectations, not just speculation.

The current market cap is only 302 million, with a 24-hour trading volume of 64.14 million; the volume-to-price ratio is impressively healthy.
You can hold long positions on contracts, but don’t chase the highs; it’s safer to add positions around 1.1.
The benefits of the PerpDEX sector are just beginning to unfold; this isn’t a short-term pump and dump.

$CTR This move is bold — multiple top exchanges are piling in with listings and airdrops, yet the market cap is still stuck at 9.69M?

This isn't just some retail hype; it's three solid buffs stacked up: Binance Alpha, Coinbase, and Kraken are all onboarding, directly smoothing out the liquidity bottleneck; the airdrop is set to hook all the yield farmers; and it’s perfectly timed to catch the new buzz in the BTC ecosystem with ZK Rollups — good luck trying to hide from that.

This excitement isn't random; the project team has been meticulously orchestrating this for half a year: they’ve gathered resources from the exchanges without scattering them, waiting for the BTC ZK narrative to peak, then launching the airdrop to lock in the tokens, clearly aiming to blow up the attention all at once. The current low market cap is intentionally left as room for speculation.

Let's get into some exclusive insights: the market cap is only 9.69M; at this level of exchange resources, a single buy order in the thousand USD range could easily pump the price by 5%. Plus, looking at the 24h trading volume showing zero means the whales are still accumulating, not dumping to pump. Right now, those entering are the smart money riding the sentiment wave.

Predictive AI infrastructure scores another win: THEA completes a $8 million strategic seed round, with Spartan, Manifold Trading, Hack VC, and Fisher8 Capital all backing the company.

Unlike the broad “general-purpose AI model” narrative, THEA takes a narrow path of “game theory + on-chain AI agents,” focusing on high-volatility scenarios such as derivatives and prediction markets:
· User behavior modeling — break retail sentiment and whale movements into quantifiable factors
· Abnormal trade detection — provide real-time risk-control signals for liquidation and market making
· Real-time predictive simulation — an on-chain deployable autonomous decision agent

Built to be compatible with ZK Rollup ecosystems such as Starknet, meaning reasoning and execution can be closed-loop on low-cost L2s. Headquartered in the Cayman Islands and founded in 2024, the company’s stage is relatively early—but the strategic round already brings it to the table with Spartan and Hack VC, suggesting institutional interest in the niche of “behavior-prediction AI” is heating up.

Personal view: In the second half of 2025, the AI agent narrative is gradually shifting from “chatbots” to “financial decision-making entities,” and THEA is positioned right at this transition. The real test is whether the model can produce verifiable alpha in real derivatives markets—not just remain in whitepapers.

#AI代理 #预测市场 #ZKRollup

The game theory of prediction markets is being rewritten by AI.

THEA has just completed a $8 million strategy round of financing, with co-investment from Spartan Group, Manifold Trading, Hack VC, and Fisher8 Capital.

What it does is a bit different—not the kind of “shell-trading bot” you see out there. Instead, it feeds massive market behavior data into game theory models, training autonomous decision-making Agents that can be deployed directly on-chain. It focuses on user behavior modeling, abnormal trade detection, real-time predictive simulations, with an emphasis on high-volatility, high-game scenarios such as derivatives and prediction markets.

The underlying layer is compatible with ZK Rollup ecosystems like Starknet, and the company was founded in the Cayman Islands in 2024.

When the AI Agent space floods toward the “help you place orders” direction, THEA chooses to start from the more foundational “behavior prediction.” It’s putting a layer of inferable intelligence into on-chain finance. How far AI can push pricing efficiency in derivatives and prediction markets—this is a path worth tracking in the long term.

#AIAgent #预测市场 #ZKRollup

THEA completes an $80M strategic round of financing, with Spartan Group, Manifold Trading, Hack VC, and Fisher8 Capital all backing the project.

This is a promising direction worth watching: decentralized predictive-behavior AI infrastructure. Unlike generic AI narratives, THEA uses game-theory models to deconstruct massive market-behavior data and turn the results into autonomous decision-making agents that can be directly deployed on-chain.

The application focuses on highly volatile risk areas—derivatives and prediction markets. Its core capabilities are threefold: user behavior modeling, abnormal trade detection, and real-time prediction simulation. At the foundation layer, it is compatible with ZK Rollup ecosystems such as Starknet, making it naturally well-suited for high-frequency on-chain scenarios.

Founded in 2024 and registered in the Cayman Islands. The strategic-round lineup includes both established crypto funds like Spartan and market-making trading teams like Manifold. The investor composition itself signals the direction: the deep waters of AI + derivatives trading.

As AI Agents evolve from chatbot-style assistants into on-chain executors, whoever can first run the model in truly high-risk real-world scenarios has the chance to help define the shape of the next generation of infrastructure.
