Based Rollups

What are they, why do they exist, and which projects are already making waves?

A 101 explainer 👇

==================================

Scaling #Ethereum has been one of the most discussed challenges in crypto.

To address this, the community chose a rollup-centric approach. The idea is simple: Instead of hosting all applications on Ethereum, the focus is on rollups that offer faster, cheaper transactions while still settling back on Ethereum. As a result, you get faster, cheaper transactions, but still keep Ethereum’s security.

They're bringing more users and value to Ethereum, however, concerns remain about their reliance on centralized sequencers and liquidity fragmentation across chains.

This is where based rollups come in. They integrate more closely with Ethereum's infrastructure, helping retain value within the ecosystem. This new method of building rollups could bring additional value to Ethereum and $ETH .

What are Based rollups?
Based rollups, or L1-sequenced rollups, are a type of rollup where the base L1 chain, like Ethereum, manages transaction sequencing directly.

Unlike traditional rollups that rely on their own sequencers, based rollups tap into the security, liveness, and decentralization of the L1 by outsourcing transaction sequencing to the L1’s infrastructure. This infrastructure includes proposers, searchers, builders, and other actors who permissionlessly include based rollup blocks in L1 blocks.

How do Based rollups work?
Based rollups use the L1 for consensus, data availability, and settlement layers, while handling execution independently. For instance, when Ethereum is the base L1, the key layers of based rollups are as follows:

1. Execution Layer — Managed by the rollup itself, where transactions are executed off-chain.

2. Consensus Layer — Relies on Ethereum validators to sequence transactions.

3. Data Availability Layer — Uses Ethereum as the DA layer to ensure that transaction data is available for validation by anyone.

4. Settlement Layer — Also part of Ethereum, where final transaction states of the rollup are recorded.

Based rollups use Ethereum for everything from ordering transactions to settling them. While this approach may not seem radically different from traditional rollups, it fundamentally shifts how sequencing is handled. Instead of relying solely on separate sequencers, based rollups leverage Ethereum itself for transaction sequencing.

Why based rollups?
As Justin Drake outlined in his original post, based rollups are worth your attention for several reasons:

1. Inherited Liveness and Decentralization — One of the key advantages of based rollups is their ability to inherit the liveness guarantees of the base L1 chain. As long as the L1 is operational, so is the rollup.

2. Economic Alignment with L1 — The economic model of based rollups creates a mutually beneficial relationship with the L1. Priority fees and MEV from these rollups naturally flows to the L1. This synergy doesn’t just add value to the base layer, it also boosts the legitimacy and brand awareness of the rollups themselves, thanks to Ethereum’s community.

3. Cost Efficiency — Outsourcing sequencing to Ethereum reduces development costs, accelerates time to market, and lowers user costs (especially at scale) for based rollups.

However, based rollups have trade-offs. They sacrifice some profitability by relying on Ethereum for sequencing, missing out on priority fees and MEV. Additionally, they contend with Ethereum's inherent challenges, such as slow block times, which can cause latency issues.

There's a real debate that these changes might compromise the simplicity and security that initially made based rollups appealing.

PayPal, one of the world’s largest financial platforms, continues its mission to deliver blockchain-based services to users and businesses alike.

On September 25, 2024, PayPal announced it would be enabling U.S. merchants to buy, hold, and sell cryptocurrency assets within their business accounts. The move is the latest in a slew of updates made by PayPal as the TradFi giant continues to embrace the cryptocurrency industry.

U.S. Businesses Can Now Store Funds Onchain
Following the successful launch of crypto services for individual users, PayPal remarked that businesses were eager to meet user’s growing demand for more comprehensive crypto services.

"Since we launched the ability for PayPal and Venmo consumers to buy, sell, and hold cryptocurrency in their wallets, we have learned a lot about how they want to use their cryptocurrency… Business owners have increasingly expressed a desire for the same cryptocurrency capabilities available to consumers. We're excited to meet that demand by delivering this new offering, empowering them to engage with digital currencies effortlessly." - Jose Fernandez da Ponte, Senior Vice President of Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, and Digital Currencies, PayPal.

PayPal’s commitment to providing merchants with expanded crypto services and flexibility goes beyond buying and selling digital assets. Merchants can now withdraw cryptocurrencies to external onchain wallets.

While PayPal has stipulated that this feature will be limited to “eligible” wallets, the move also opens the door to more businesses becoming involved in DeFi. For example, businesses holding capital might be able to lend out assets in various onchain lending protocols, earning additional yield on a merchant’s treasury.

$PYUSD Solana Supply Down 40% Since ATH
Since launching on Solana on May 29, 2024, $PYUSD enjoyed meteoric growth. Spurred on by generous liquidity provision incentives, $PYUSD’s Solana-based supply surged to over 663.4M tokens based on Step Finance data. This eclipsed Ethereum’s $PYUSD supply, making Solana the unofficial home of PayPal’s crypto services.

However, as $PYUSD reward campaigns have slowed and market conditions improved, the supply of PayPal USD on Solana has declined. At its highest point on August 28, 2024, Solana hosted $PYUSD 65.79% supply dominance.

Based on DeFiLlama data, that figure has since fallen to just 50.4%, with PayPal USD’s Solana-based supply currently sitting at 354M.

It's unlikely that PayPal merchants based in the U.S. will rush to bring their stablecoin holdings onchain and deploy them in Solana DeFi protocols. However, the move highlights PayPal’s willingness to respond positively to customer feedback and integrate blockchain technology into its expansive product suite.

It’s here — a crypto game for mass audiences.

's new mobile shooter -- FTW 🔫👇

========================================
jungle_xyz’s FTW is a fast-paced mobile shooter where players can play casually or win real rewards by competing in tournaments and PVP wagering matches.

While FTW has multiple ways to play—Free-for-Alls, Team Deathmatches, and Extractions (akin to capture the flag)—its main mode is Showdown, where 10 players face off in a 3-minute Battle Royale. Here, players spawn with randomized load-outs of different heroes, weapons, and gadgets and can respawn during the first 2 minutes, battling to rack up points and buffs.

After this, the playing zone starts closing and respawns are disabled until the last player standing claims victory. Along the way, players can pick up new weapons and equipment scattered across the map. These come in four rarity levels: White, Blue, Purple, and Yellow, each offering increased power for an edge as the match progresses.
⚔️ Qualifiers (Mon-Fri): During weekdays, you can play Showdown matches for free and collect points to prepare for the weekend Finals. This mode helps you accumulate upgrades, currencies, and tickets, which will be crucial for weekend competition.

🎖Finals (Sat-Sun): The weekend Finals require one ticket per match, and only these games count toward the leaderboard for prizes. Players can win $USDC , $SOL , in-game rewards, and whitelist spots for Jungle’s Genesis mint — though you must connect your wallet and Discord to be eliglible.

Additionally, there is a Monthly Leaderboard on FTW’s Jungle Discord, where your Finals scores accumulate throughout the month. Players who perform well can qualify for boosted rewards.

How to Get Started:

Additional Features:

🎯 Auto-Aim: FTW lets you choose between manual and auto-aim in its settings. While it may burn through your bullets, personally I’d recommend auto.

💥 Hero Ultimates: Each hero has a unique ultimate ability like airstrikes, poison gas, or shock blasts, which charges up as the match goes on and you rack up more stats.

🧰 Hero and Weapon Upgrades: XP will be earned as you play, alongside crates offering unique boosts which can be used to upgrade your heroes and weapons, increasing traits like their resilience, precision, and speed.

How to Earn:

FTW’s tournaments are where the money’s made, and these events are split into Qualifiers and Finals:

📲 Download FTW: The game is available on the iOS App Store and Google Play in early access worldwide.

✅ Sign Up: Once downloaded, create your account through your email or Google.

🔗 Link Your Account: To qualify for rewards, join the Jungle Discord and complete your profile under the profile channel by linking your FTW account (a code will be provided in the app) and Solana wallet.

🏆 Join Tournaments: Participate in weekly Qualifiers to earn points, and use tickets to join the weekend Finals for a shot at the prizes.

And that's all it takes to get started here!

With mobile games feeling ripe for crypto adoption by augmenting their casual gameplay with onchain rewards, Jungle looks to be flying under the radar as a studio to watch.

Move quickly, though! The last Qualifiers for this first “Play-to-Mint” tournament end on September 27th, though we can expect more down the line.

On September 20, Reown, formerly WalletConnect, announced the launch of its Solana Appkit, a comprehensive developer tooling platform designed to simplify Solana ecosystem development.

The move promises to amplify Solana connectivity, leveraging a range of essential services that aim to expand the ecosystem. Best known for its expansive EVM network, Reown facilitates over 15M monthly wallet connections across 100+ blockchains.

Solana’s inclusion in Reown’s substantial list of supported chains comes following the network’s meteoric growth throughout 2024. Reown CEO Jess Houlgrave contends that the Solana Appkit’s launch could spearhead a new wave of applications on the network:

"The Solana ecosystem has stood out since its inception in 2020. Solana instantly drew interest from developers and teams throughout the industry, resulting in some of the biggest and most recognizable projects to date. The launch of the Solana AppKit will act as a catalyst for further growth, the AppKit simplifies building apps and ensures the best experience for end-users. We're excited to see what teams can do with these new tools". - Jess Houlgrave, Reown CEO.

What Can Developers Expect From Reown’s Appkit?
Reown’s Solana Appkit aims to streamline the development process, amplifying application connectivity across the ecosystem. The new tooling platform promises a range of essential features, including:

WalletConnect Network integration.

Simplified email and social login - Allowing users to connect to dApps using familiar, Web2 logins.

Fiat-to-Crypto onramp - Partnering with Coinbase, users can instantly buy over 100 crypto assets directly through Reown-powered apps.

Token swaps - In collaboration with 1Inch, Reown provides applications with in-app trades at the best available rates.

Web3 Messaging Notifications - Apps can now send onchain messages directly to user’s wallets.

Multi-Language support - Reown’s Solana Appkit supports developers building with React, Vue, JavaScript, and Next.js

Reown Attracts Key Launch Partners
Bringing the new Appkit to as many Solana developers, Reown has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the ecosystem. Integral DeFi apps like Jupiter, Solana’s leading aggregator, and Marinade Finance, one of Solana’s original staking providers, have lent their weight behind the launch, with additional support from Drift Protocol, a popular perpetual DEX, and Solayer, the network’s leading restaking protocol.

Drift Protocol co-founder Cindy Leow believes that Reown’s Solana Appkit will facilitate a smoother onboarding process for traders. Championing the toolkit accessibility, Leow expressed excitement at the prospect of a widening ecosystem.

“At Drift we’re continuously improving the experience for our users. As we expand, we want to see even more blockchain adoption. Integrating Reown’s Solana AppKit marks a milestone for accessibility and usability. We’re looking forward to seeing more apps in the Solana ecosystem leverage the Solana AppKit” - Cindy Leow, Drift Protocol co-founder.

Echoing Leow’s enthusiasm, Backpack CEO Armani Ferrante also demonstrated his support for the Reown Appkit.

“As the entry point for the Solana ecosystem, Backpack wallet team worked closely with the Reown team to integrate the Reown WalletKit on the mobile app end. We’re excited to partner with Reown and improve Solana users' experience. Now, users can easily access Backpack Wallet when they click the WalletConnect button on their favorite dApps.” - Armani Ferrante, Backpack CEO

Alongside Solana’s dramatic surge in user activity throughout 2024, the network has also enjoyed a significant increase in developer activity. According to the Solana 2023 Developer Report the network boasted over 2,500 monthly active developers.

The Reown Solana AppKit is expected to provide Solana’s expansive developer community with an expansive suite of tools, enabling them to create a diverse and access

Solana’s iconic memecoin scene is restructuring. Frustrated by the rampant oversaturation of token launches and a litany of extractive practices, memecoin traders are reevaluating their approach..

Liquidity has evaporated from the memecoin economy, causing dramatic price fluctuations across the board. Abandoning smaller caps, the remaining traders have solidified positions in established coins.

The collapse of smaller memecoins has led market participants to explore alternative trading strategies and take advantage of emerging DeFi applications.

Memecoin Leverage Trading Apps Gain Popularity
Losing patience with the frequent scams, rugpulls, and pump-and-dumps popular on platform’s like pump.fun, Solana meme coin traders are eager for a new meta. The oversaturation of new launches has worn the patience of even the most committed degens, drawing attention back to established memecoins.

Despite their relatively short lifespan, Solana’s veteran memecoins have birthed devout and resilient communities. While these established memecoins remain volatile, their relative stability compared to new launches has seen coins like $POPCAT , $GIGA , and $MUMU enjoy renewed interest and capital rotates away from new launches.

However, these popular coins have arguably already completed the bulk of their run. To maximize potential profits through these coins, traders are turning to applications like Lavarage to add additional weight to their positions.

Adding a layer of dynamism to the memecoin economy, Lavarage supports margin trading positions on over 400 Solana memecoins.

With Lavarage, traders can increase the size of their positions, amplifying their profit and loss. This approach breathes new life into established memecoins and gives traders a new tool in this compelling market.

Ironically, implementing leverage trading into memecion markets might actually make them safer. Traders could be compelled to speculate on established coins, rather than gamble on new pump.fun launches and hope that the coin they’ve chosen is one of the 1.38% that graduate to Raydium.

Lavarage Partners with Backpack - Boosting Rewards
After launching in mid-August, Lavarage’s Tephra Rewards campaign has kicked into gear following its collaboration with Backpack wallet.

Lavarage users who access the application and execute trades via the Backpack will benefit from a 10% points boost. Tephra points are expected to play a key role in determining airdrop allocations ahead of Lavarage’s anticipated TGE (Token Generation Event).

An Unexpected Airdrop?
In a bid to further reward users, Lavarage has partnered with the $NAMI memecoin to distribute $1 ,500 of $NAMI to traders. Over the course of the campaign, 5,325,000 $NAMI will be proportionally airdropped to users as follows:

$1000 worth of $NAMI to users who trade $NAMI with leverage

$500 worth of $NAMI to users who trade any other token with leverage

Currently, Leverage only allows traders to open long positions on its extensive list of tradable assets.

However, moderators in the Lavarage Discord server have indicated that “we have a good idea of how shorting can be implemented”, before conceding that the team “do not have any immediate plan to roll that out

🎞️ An intimate documentary about Vitalik Buterin and Ethereum begins streaming onchain.

“Vitalik: An Ethereum Story” is a documentary that goes back in time to Buterin’s childhood and tells through new interviews and archival footage why and how he helped build and launch Ethereum.

The film will be available for streaming and onchain on ethereumfilm.xyz for 30 days and aims to be available on major streaming platforms in 2025.

In July 2021, the project achieved the largest crowdfund in documentary history with 1,036 ETH raised.

The film was released in theaters in 23 countries.

In the documentary, we see Vitalik opening up to intimate statements and declaring:
“My biggest fear is a bull market. If a bull market happens, then all this speculation comes back. There’s value in being quiet, and there’s value in not being loud until you have something worth being loud about.”

Meta Will Use Public Data From Adults In The Uk For Artificial Intelligence Training

Meta will start using publicly shared content from adult users in the UK on Facebook and Instagram to train its artificial intelligence models. The company will assess publicly available information, such as posts, comments, photos, and descriptions, from users on both platforms.

Meta emphasized that its AI is designed to reflect diverse global communities and plans to expand its AI initiatives to more countries and languages later this year. The company clarified that it does not use data from accounts of individuals under 18 in the UK.

In July, Meta halted AI assistant deployments in the EU following an order from the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) due to data privacy concerns. Meta claims it uses Facebook and Instagram user data with their consent and offers an option to opt out.

UK-based adults on Facebook and Instagram will receive in-app notifications detailing Meta's data usage practices and offering an option to object to the use of their data for AI training. Meta stated that it will accept all existing and new objection forms.

The DPC, responsible for enforcing the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), is intensifying its oversight. On September 12, it launched a cross-border investigation into Google Ireland Limited to determine if it complies with EU data protection laws in developing its AI models.

The investigation will focus on the use of EU citizens' personal data in training Google’s advanced language model, Pathways Language Model 2 (PaLM2), introduced on May 10, 2023.

The DPC also investigated the social media platform X and concluded the investigation after X agreed to meet the necessary compliance standards. On September 4, X agreed to stop using personal data of EU and European Economic Area (EEA) users to train its AI chatbot, Grok.

BullVerse Update

BullPad
There have been numerous inquiries regarding BullPad, and we would like to address them. After careful consideration, the team has decided that launching BullPad at this time would not be beneficial. The market sentiment remains highly bearish, trading volumes across financial markets are low, and overall uncertainty persists. Furthermore, Pump.fun’s volume has decreased by 95% from its all-time high. All signs indicate that this is not the ideal time to release a launchpad. However, we remain fully committed to launching it when market conditions are more favorable.

BullPay
BullPay is currently in beta (available at bullpay.fun). As well-needed solution in the space, it is connected to a lot of upcoming features inisde the platform. BullPay will serve not only as a marketplace but also as a crypto payment gateway, like Stripe or PayPal for crypto transactions. We developed an API kit allowing our partners to get paid from their website or mobile app.

Activity Rewards & User Experience
We are still working on developing a sustainable, more gamified and automated solution for activity rewards. Once this is finalized, we will announce it, and automated payouts will resume.

The BullVerse Ecosystem
It’s important to note that BullVerse is a long-term project. We are continually enhancing user, partner, and community engagement. As with any major project, development will unfold progressively rather than all at once.

Communication
The team is working tirelessly behind the scenes to improve the BullVerse ecosystem daily. Many individuals are involved, and significant resources have been invested in this project. Our commitment is unwavering, and we continue to expand our network by forming strategic partnerships, which are crucial for long-term growth. The vision is clear and we are enjoying the journey.

Teasers
Our primary focus has been on laying a strong foundation by creating a stable platform that incorporates both incentives and crypto utilities. Our main goal is to deliver a clear and practical use case that attracts the visibility BullVerse deserves. As a utility project, we view this as a key driver of our success: BullVerse should not just be about content, but also a hub where crypto enthusiasts can speculate, win, lose, be rewarded, and find their community. Something exciting is coming very soon..

Bullish times are ahead,

Mercuryo, a Web3 payments provider, has announced the rollout of Spend, a virtual debit card promising to streamline crypto payments.

Complete with Apple Pay and Google Pay compatibility, Spend facilitates payments directly from Solana wallets to over 90M Mastercard merchants across the globe.

WHAT IS SPEND??
Mercuryo’s Spend allows wallet apps to integrate virtual Mastercard debit cards directly into their applications. Through the Spend Card, Mercury promises to enable the crypto community to use their crypto assets to “spend on anything. Anytime. Anywhere.”

Spend aims to provide a fast and cost-effective method for crypto users to convert and spend their digital assets from their wallets. Beyond the simplicity of Mastercard, Apple Pay, and Google Pay integration, Spend also offers card customization, meaning wallet providers can incorporate their logos into virtual cards.

Spend is fully self-custodial, meaning users have full control over any assets deposited into the card account. Additionally, the platform offers multi-chain support, including Solana, Ethereum, and PolkaDot.

As part of the announcement, Mercuryo teased that several leading Web3 wallets will be adding Spend in the near future. SolanaFloor engaged Mercuryo for comment on the matter but is yet to receive a response.

Why Web3 Needs Better Off-Ramps
Since the birth of the industry, crypto companies have focused tirelessly on streamlining the flow of funds into decentralized economies. According to Mercuryo, “on-ramping is now a user-friendly process, and users can purchase crypto with ease.”

While onboarding has become easier with exchanges and third-party apps readily available, bringing funds back into the real world still poses significant barriers. Mercuryo argues that the biggest struggles facing crypto off-ramping are:

1. Poor UX of existing solutions - Users need to jump through a variety of hoops to withdraw funds. Many platforms are only available in certain regions and popular offboarding platforms offer limited support outside of mainstream cryptos.

2. Bank restrictions - Traditional banks often block payments from crypto-related companies and freeze accounts suspected of interacting with cryptocurrency.

3. Extortionate fees - Third-party apps and intermediaries can charge high fees on crypto-to-fiat withdrawals, discouraging users from transferring funds.

Slow processing times - After becoming accustomed to rapid, permissionless transfers onchain, crypto-to-fiat withdrawals can feel slow and cumbersome.

While the industry loves to discuss and promote progress and efforts toward crypto onboarding, finding seamless methods of getting funds off-chain is equally important.

Mercuryo’s commitment to simplified crypto off-ramps helps to legitimize digital currencies as meaningful financial tools. Through the Spend card, millions of crypto users may be able to enjoy improved access to their funds in real-world contexts, solidifying the role of cryptocurrency in the Web2 world

BIG SUPPLY, BIG PROBLEMS AS SOLANA’S NFT MARKET REJECTS LARGE COLLECTIONS

Fresh minting mechanics are bringing greater security to Solana NFTs, but new mints and large collections struggle to garner attention and are trading below mint price.

New NFT collections have learned a painful lesson this week. If it wasn’t obvious due to stagnant floor prices and diminishing trade volume, launching a fresh collection in these conditions is a difficult task.

Despite commentators claiming these hyped collections will usher in a “new era” and whitelist spots selling at over $50 apiece on open markets, launches from Pathfinders and Hermans have failed to meet expectations.

Will Solana’s NFT market ever witness another successful 10,000 NFT collection? Or are small supplies the only way of conserving value?

ONLY 21% OF PATHFINDER'S RISK-FREE NFTs MINTED

Despite proposing a new, risk-free method of launching Solana NFTs, the Pathfinders collection faces difficulty minting out. At press time, only 2,125/10,000 NFTs have been minted, falling well short of expectations.

Pathfinder’s novel LST-backed NFT collection launched with noble intentions. Providing an alternative mechanic that aims to protect minters, the collection has launched Solana’s first un-ruggable NFTs.

Unlike standard NFT mints, Pathfinders NFTs are minted using pathSOL, the project’s native liquid staking token. Holders reserve the right to redeem their NFT for the underlying pathSOL used to mint the asset, essentially securing the NFT’s value at a minimum of 2pathSOL.

Regardless, Solana’s NFT community has largely ignored the project’s novel approach to minting. Supporters of the new mechanic took to social media to express their disappointment with the NFT community’s apparent apathy. 

Commentators noted that network participants have collectively poured thousands of SOL into extractive and malicious actors, but are unwilling to support builders providing meaningful alternatives.

‘Hyped’ New Mint Immediately Under Floor - Are Presales to Blame?

Boasting a sold-out presale that constituted 55% of the total supply, the Hermans NFT collection suffered a similar fate. Priced at 1.5 SOL per NFT, Hermans struggled to attract interest during the public mint, forcing the team to take drastic action.

Hermans trading on secondary marketplaces like Tensor and Magic Eden was locked until the mint was complete, meaning holders were unable to list their assets. The team took it upon themselves to buy all unminted assets. The Hermans’ treasury now holds over 1,600 NFTs, roughly 33% of the supply.

Almost immediately, the collection began trading beneath mint price as presales and regretful minters clamored to liquidate their holdings for SOL. Hermans currently exchange hands at 0.84 SOL, down 44% from the original mint price.

While poor NFT market conditions are a significant contributor to the recent slew of disappointing NFT launches, social media commentators have argued that NFT presales are also to blame.

Low Supply NFT Collections Retain Value

In recent years, NFT markets have witnessed countless large supply collections suffer devastating downtrends. 

Top Solana collections like Mad Lads, Tensorians (pictured), and Claynosaurs have all endured significant drawdowns, while dozens of less-resilient projects have effectively plummeted to zero.

Comparatively, low supply and 1/1 NFT collections have retained their value remarkably well. Limited supply art collections like Boogles, Dead King Society, and The SixNine are typically only available through OTC deals and have maintained comparatively stable floors, regardless of SOL price fluctuations.

Arguably, this suggests that the most valuable utility NFTs offer is access to exclusive communities. Alternatively, it could also indicate that low-supply collections with low market liquidity create an elite sense of perceived value, which has supported the valuations of these co

After weeks of eager anticipation, Lavarage has finally launched its generous rewards program. Offering DeFi traders a more efficient way of navigating onchain markets, Lavarage adds a new dimension to permissionless margin trading by leveraging spot assets, rather than the synthetic perpetual assets used across the Solana ecosystem.

With the launch of Tephra, the protocol’s dynamic points program, Lavarage brings renewed enthusiasm to Solana’s margin markets and re-stokes the flames ahead of a future airdrop.

THE TEPHRA POINTS SYSTEM - MISSION 1 NOW LIVE
Rewarding dedicated traders and community members alike, the Tephra points system aims to provide fair opportunities for all ‘Lavanauts’. By using the Lavarage trading platform and engaging in community-building activities, Lavanauts earn Tephras, which will be directly correlated to an eventual airdrop.

Users earn Tephras every time they execute an action in the Lavarage platform. Whether you’re opening positions, paying interest on borrowed assets, or staking SOL for lstSOL (Lavarage’s native liquidi staking token), users are actively earning Tephras. The team has also hinted that users can boost Tephra generation by holding Lava Rock Alpha NFTs.

Profitable traders stand to generate even more rewards. Encouraging skilled traders to use the platform, points are also being distributed based on the profitability of individual trades. Making point generation accessible to those with smaller wallets, Tephras can also be earned through community-building activities.

Adding an additional layer of intrigue to the Tephra program, Lavarage proposes diversified missions. With each mission lasting two weeks, the Lavarage team will adapt rewards based on the protocol’s strategic goals. While this keeps the rewards program dynamic, it also works as a countermeasure against bots and airdrop farmers seeking to game the system.

Mission 1 is currently live. Lavarage users can easily track their Tephra points tally through the app. Lavarage’s earliest users and supporters can now verify rewards accumulated during the ‘OG Mission’.

WHAT IS LAVARAGE?
Designed to improve capital efficiency in DeFi trading and boasting a streamlined user experience, Lavarage offers a creative approach to margin trading on Solana. Unlike the network’s vast range of perpetual DEXes, Lavarage contracts use spot assets.

This means that the platform offers more accurate pricing and liquidity than perpetual markets and allows traders to buy and sell the underlying assets.

Lavarage usage has erupted in recent weeks. Since the end of June, the platform has facilitated over 5,000 spot-margin positions at an average leverage of 3x. Boasting over 500 assets, Lavarage has attracted over 1,000 unique users with a retention rate of over 60%.

Beyond trading, Lavarage also manages to provide generous yield to its liquidity providers. According to the platform, SOL stakers have earned over 40% APY through Lavarage since the protocol’s inception.

WHAT'S NEXT?
With the Tephra points program officially underway, the Lavarage team has hinted that the upcoming TGE “might not be too far off”.

Regardless, Tephra is expected to boost the platform’s growing user base and volume, helping Lavarage grow towards becoming a key player in Solana’s flourishing DeFi Landscape.
