Monad Foundation: Seeks to buy back to early investors at a discount to lock in MON, almost no one participated

Comparatively, according to official sources, the Monad Foundation announced that it has recently completed a liquidity plan. Under this plan, the foundation proposed to some early Monad investors to reflect the discounted price applied during the four-year lockdown period to purchase MON tokens during the lockdown period. Any MON tokens purchased by the Foundation through this liquidity program will remain subject to the same lockdown period. The total purchase amount for this plan is capped at $60 million. The plan aims to provide an orderly liquidity exit channel for early investors whose partial liquidity needs or investment goals have changed, while supporting long-term unity of interest among remaining coin holders. Almost all of the coin holders contacted chose not to participate in the program, which has now ended. The Monad Foundation has never sold, proposed for sale, or sought to sell any MON tokens through OTC transactions or other means, and there are currently no processes related to such sales. Any statement to the contrary is untrue.

Who was fattened by a meme spree? How can Pump.fun and GMGN turn transactions into money printers?

Who was fattened by a meme spree? How can Pump.fun and GMGN turn transactions into money printers?

Source |Odailey Planet Daily Author | Asher Original Title | Disassembling the Meme Revenue Structure for Shovel Sellers: How do Pump.fun and GMGN make tens of millions of dollars a month? If you think it's a bear market, you're not looking in the right direction. Core view: Despite the decline in the popularity of the meme coin market and fewer opportunities to get rich, token issuance platforms and trading tools remain strong and profitable. According to the data in the article, leading platforms such as Pump.fun have earned more than 34 million US dollars in the past 30 days, and GMGN and Axiom have also reached nearly 20 million and 14 million US dollars respectively. The revenue mainly comes from transaction fees and issuance fees. Key elements: 1.pump.fun has earned US$34.68 million in the past 30 days, with a trading volume of US$1,718 million. The revenue comes from Bonding Curve transaction fees (1.25%, of which 0.95% is the agreement) and token graduation fees. 2. Flap's revenue in the past 30 days was 5.58 million US dollars. More than 90% came from BNB Chain. Benefiting from the boom in the stock MEME coin MarsCoin, the basic agreement rate was 1%. 3. Pons was once the leading distribution platform for Robinhood Chain. The revenue from the recent 30-day agreement was about US$4.99 million. After the launch of V2, its revenue sources expanded to include issuance fees, transaction fees, and processing fees after graduation into Uniswap V4. 4. GMGN's revenue in the past 30 days was about US$1.81 million, and Robinhood Chain contributed US$11.67 million (accounting for the largest share). The platform made a profit by charging a 1% handling fee for each transaction. 5. Axiom's revenue in the past 30 days is about US$14.67 million, almost all of which comes from Solana on-chain transactions. The base rate is 1%, the actual net rate is about 0.75%-0.95%, and there is a transaction volume rebate mechanism. 6. Fomo's revenue in the past 30 days is about US$8.79 million, mainly from Solana spot transactions (US$8.64 million), with a minimum handling fee of 0.5% per transaction and a minimum fee of $0.95. Since this year, the overall performance of the crypto market has been sluggish, and altcoins have spread far and wide. The enthusiasm for discussion in the previously active second-tier alpha community and airdrop community has declined markedly, but memes are one of the few exceptions. Compared to the previous bull market, “Express Express,” where the market value of a meme broke through 50 million US dollars or even hundreds of millions of dollars in a short time after being issued, is rarely seen this year, and the myth of getting rich is gradually becoming an unfamiliar term. However, new hot spots are still emerging from time to time in the meme market. From CASHCAT, which became popular on Robinhood Chain, to MarsCoin, a recent stock meme on BNB Chain, it is still attracting the attention of many communities. The hot topic is still there, and naturally people continue to use platforms and wallets around meme creation, trading, etc. So, when “Young P” has fewer and fewer opportunities to become rich with memes, how much money can these platforms make by relying on users to continue to issue and trade coins? Starting with the two dimensions of token issuance platforms and meme trading tools, this article will break down the current revenue sources of the Meme Circuit's main platforms, as well as the revenue situation in the past 30 days. (The data below is all from DeFilLama.) Pump.fun and others, take on the first round of the SGD transaction demand Pump.fun: Although the meme market has earned more than 34 million dollars in the past 30 days, the meme market is far less than the bull market, but Pump.fun can still earn more than $30 million a month, and its ability to make money even exceeds that of Hyperliqud. As of August 11, Pump.fun's revenue for nearly 30 days was $34.68 million. Over the same period, the platform's trading volume was $17.18 billion. The core of Pump.fun's revenue comes from continuous trading of SGD on the platform. Currently, users are free to create tokens themselves, but trading during the Bonding Curve phase requires transaction fees. According to Pump.fun's latest rate, Bonding Curve's total fee rate is 1.25% per transaction, of which 0.95% goes to the agreement and 0.30% is distributed to token creators. Additionally, when tokens graduate from Pump.fun and enter PumpSwap, a graduation fee of 0.015 SOL will be charged. Flap: Revenue surpassed $5.5 million in the past 30 days, 90% from BNB Chain nearly...

Pendle Unveils H2 Roadmap: Increase RWA and Institutional Markets, Boros Will Focus on On-Chain Interest Rate Derivatives

Comparing news, Pendle co-founder TN and growth leader Dan reviewed developments in the first half of 2026 and announced the roadmap for the second half of 2026 at the latest community meeting. The team said that in the first half of the year, the Pendle ecosystem focused on fixed income infrastructure construction. Pendle V2 continued to strengthen its position as an on-chain fixed income agreement, and Boros made initial progress in the on-chain interest rate derivatives market. According to the data, Pendle V2 had an average daily TVL of about 1.3 billion US dollars in the first half of the year. Currently, 9 of the platform's 11 major markets use real-world assets (RWA) as collateral, reflecting the continued flow of institutional capital to the RWA circuit. Additionally, Pendle has launched on the Monad network and became the network's top 5 TVL protocol in less than a month, with a hedging scale of around $150 million. In terms of protocol upgrades, Pendle has completed the migration of VePendle to Spendle. Currently, about 36% of PENDLE have completed the pledge, and 93% of the pledge users have not yet released their pledges. The agreement also used revenue to complete the repurchase of approximately 2 million PENDLES and drastically reduced weekly liquidity incentives from around 90,000 to 21,000, further improving capital efficiency. At the same time, Pendle launched an in-app one-click Loop feature to simplify the operation process of leveraged income strategies. Another core product, Boros, has surpassed 14 billion US dollars in cumulative trading volume in less than a year. The number of users has increased by 50% compared to the beginning of the year, and tools such as four-legged arbitrage strategies, large transaction acceptance functions, and capital rate data boards have been added to meet professional trading needs. Looking ahead to the second half of 2026, Pendle will focus on promoting curatorial infrastructure construction, allowing external teams to create PT/YT markets, and promote PT assets as collateral to be connected to loan agreements; at the same time, it will launch a Pendle brand income vault with partners such as Morpho to expand distribution channels for fixed income products. In terms of institutional business, the team is collaborating with several RWA issuers in New York to introduce on-chain yield products such as tokenized ETFs and single bonds to Pendle to create an RWA revenue discovery and distribution platform for institutions. Boros, on the other hand, is shifting its strategic focus to cross-trading platform capital rate arbitrage, giving priority to institutional arbitrators, and plans to launch peer-to-peer acceptance markets, capital rate visualization tools, and one-click strategy products for ordinary users to further improve the on-chain interest rate derivatives ecosystem.

Wikipedia has less than 7% coverage, how can crypto projects be “hidden” in the AI era?

Wikipedia has less than 7% coverage, how can crypto projects be “hidden” in the AI era?

Author: Shenchao TechFlow Original title: Only 67 of the top 1000 crypto projects by market capitalization have Wikipedia pages. ChatGPT's “understanding” of the crypto industry is being distorted Shenzhen Guide: The crypto communication agency Chainstory audited the Wikipedia coverage of CoinGecko's top 10,000 tokens and found that only 67 of the top 1000 had entries. Wikipedia is the single most cited source for ChatGPT (accounting for about 7.8% of total citations), which means that AI tools have systemic gaps in their perception of the vast majority of cryptographic projects. Neither the $15 billion Hyperliquid nor the $5 billion Sui have Wikipedia pages. The crypto industry is almost non-existent on Wikipedia. According to CoinDesk's July 14 report, a research report published by crypto communication agency Chainstory shows that according to CoinGecko's market capitalization ranking, only 67 of the top 1000 crypto projects have Wikipedia entries, with less than 7% coverage. At a time when AI tools are increasingly becoming the main channel for users to obtain information, this gap is systematically affecting the understanding and presentation of the crypto industry by models such as ChatGPT. Coverage fell cliffside down with market capitalization rankings. From June 1 to 4, 2026, the $15 billion project, Chainstory audited the top 10,000 CoinGecko tokens by market capitalization to verify the existence of entries one by one through the Wikipedia API. The results showed an extreme long-tail distribution: the top 10 tokens in market capitalization had 80% coverage, the top 100 had 40% coverage, the top 500 had only 12%, the top 1000 dropped to 6.7%, and the 1001-10000 tokens had only 0.2% coverage. Out of the entire top 10,000, only 84 tokens have Wikipedia entries. There is no shortage of huge projects on the absentee list. Hyperliquid, a perpetual contract platform with a market capitalization of about $15 billion, has no Wikipedia page; Sui, a Layer-1 network with a market capitalization of about $5 billion, is also absent; Monad Labs (valued at $3 billion) led by Paradigm, Berachain (valued at $1.5 billion) co-led by Brevan Howard Digital, and eigenLayer with a $100 million investment by a16z, None of them have been recorded on Wikipedia. The smallest project with a market capitalization of $15 million and ranked 959th is Firo. As a comparison, Wikipedia includes about 640 fintech companies and more than 7,000 software companies, but only about 80 companies in the crypto and bitcoin categories. Wikipedia is the single most cited source by ChatGPT, accounting for nearly 8%. The reason this coverage gap is important is because Wikipedia's position in the AI information chain far exceeds general perception. Chainstory cites audit data from AI tracking platform Investigations in the report: Of all ChatGPT citation links, about 7.8% point to Wikipedia, and Reddit (1.8%) and Forbes (1.1%), which rank second and third, fall far behind. Of the top 10 most referenced domains by ChatGPT, Wikipedia accounts for about 47.9%. Another research agency, Trakkr's analysis of 3.29 million citation links showed that as of May 2026, Wikipedia had 36.1% of the top 10 ChatGPT citation sources and 25.3% of the top 100 cited sources. Muck Rack's May 2026 study further confirmed that Wikipedia is not only the number one citation source for ChatGPT, but also Claude's second most cited source (after PubMed Central), and the fourth most cited source for Gemini. The report points out that Wikipedia mainly provides conceptual information to AI models, but when users ask questions about specific projects, Wikipedia entries are the core basis for model reasoning...

Revenue surpassed Pump.fun for 5 consecutive days. Did NOXA rely on strength or luck?

Revenue surpassed Pump.fun for 5 consecutive days. Did NOXA rely on strength or luck?

Author | Golem Original title: Revenue surpassed Pump.fun for 5 consecutive days. How did the “lone wolf” developers behind NOXA fight back and earn 10 million dollars in one week? Robinhood chain meme launch platform NOXA has the answer. According to Dune data, NOXA has surpassed Pump.fun for 5 consecutive days, and the total agreement fee has exceeded $13.44 million. What's even more exaggerated is that there is only one developer behind NOXA: Amun Phantom (X: @AmunPhantom), who directly crushed Pump.fun's Fengshen saga of “a team of 100 people creates over 500 million profits.” If all of the NOXA agreement fees were owned by Amun Phantom personally, he would probably be the first person to earn A9 on Robinhood Chain. Outsiders attributed NOXA's popularity to “luck”: just in time for the launch of Robinhood Chain, CASHCAT, which happened to be launched, was ordered by Robinhood CEO, with a market value of 230 million US dollars by the 3-day Express Express. Robinhood Chain's cold start requires meme coin momentum; NOXA is just the lucky one who just happened to be selected. But if you look back at Amun Phantom's past, you'll find that his success was no accident; it was more like a long-planned “Degen” counterattack drama. In October 2025, he wrote his motto: The reason you can't be a successful crypto developer is because you haven't gone deep into the trenches. At that moment, the cogs of fate may have quietly caught on. Degen developers and his DegenFi players generally regard NOXA as a meme launch platform like Pump.fun, but Amun Phantom himself never thought so; he believes NOXA is the first and currently only DegenFi agreement in the market. The Degen spirit is generally regarded as a compliment in the context of cryptography. If a crypto player calls himself Degen, then it means that he is sharper than the average person, extremely adventurous, willing to accept new things, and doesn't stick to old opinions. The introduction to NOXA's official X account also directly shows its self-positioning, “always being the first to support the latest blockchains, and even before the new blockchain is officially launched.” Agreed in the spirit of Degen, Amun Phantom's NOXA “went crazy” on the Robinhood Chain. NOXA was already warming up the relevant meme coins launched from the platform before the official launch of Robinhood Chain on July 1, but there wasn't much effect until July 8, when the CEO of Robinhood wrote on the X platform that “although we want to make Robinhood Chain the best payment chain for RWA, it also applies to memes,” and the market value of the meme coin CASHCAT launched from NOXA soared all the way up. NOXA also ushered in a turning point for the platform. According to Dune data, since July 8, the number of new memes added to the Robinhood Chain every day has skyrocketed, with an average of more than 15,000 new memes added in a single day. Since NOXA was the first meme launch platform to support Robinhood Chain and is the launch platform for the leading meme coin CASHCAT, NOXA is still in the leading position under competition from over 10 meme launch platforms, and over 80% of Robinhood Chain's meme coins are launched from the NOXA platform. (Odaily note: The NOXA website went down on July 12 due to Cloudflare issues, so tokens could not be created) Robinhood Chain added more than 270,000 new memes each day. Although the daily active wallet volume and daily token additions are not as good as Pump.fun, since July 8, the NOXA agreement fee has surpassed Pump.fun for 5 consecutive days, and the total agreement fee has exceeded...
