💸 GONDI's New Lending Record. NFT lending protocol GONDI just crossed $45.5 million outstanding loan debt for the first time ever. The record comes one day after someone took out a whopping +1M USDC loan against 23 CryptoPunks.
🎨 Atomic Form Unveils New Feature. NFT provenance startup Atomic Forms just announced its closed beta for Onchain Collections, which allows artists to showcase all their NFT collections in a singular, user-friendly dashboard.
The team behind the Parallel trading card game are developing Wayfinder, an AI resource that can power onchain AI agents across any network.
Like ai16z's Daydreams tech, Wayfinder has major potential to level up agents in onchain games and beyond.
Unlike Daydreams, though, Wayfinder is centered around a native token, $PROMPT, which is slated to have its token generation event (TGE) in the coming weeks.
This is poised to be one of the biggest token launches of the year, so for those still catching up, let's recap how Wayfinder and $PROMPT work and how you can start earning an allocation now! 👇
Season 2: Methamorphosis is now live on mETH Protocol, following the launch of their governance token, COOK, and cmETH, the liquid restaked version of mETH. With cmETH, holders can enjoy yields across multiple restaking protocols like Karak, EigenLayer, Symbiotic, while earning Powder for more COOK.
We talked about the Bankr trading bot in Monday’s issue, and now I’ve got another new resource from the Farcaster ecosystem you might want to also check out: anon.world.
Some of you will recall Anoncast, a project I highlighted as a Tool Tip in November 2024. It’s a service that’s made waves thanks to how it uses zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs to let $ANON holders post anonymously to Farcaster.
Since then, Anoncast creator Kartik has followed up by releasing anon.world, which you can think of as an extended app version of Anoncast that many communities can use beyond just $ANON holders.
The platform is centered around Communities, as its site explains:
“Communities are groups of users with shared credentials. Every community is backed by a token, a shared Farcaster account, and a shared wallet. Members of a community can take anonymous actions on behalf of the community, such as posting to Farcaster and X/Twitter.”
Each community will have a specific shared credential that unlocks posting access then, e.g. 1 Noun NFT, or 100 XYZ ERC-20 tokens, etc. What ensues is like an anonymized subreddit that also enjoys a shared treasury.
For now, the Anoncast community is the first and only group active on the platform, but Kartik is planning to enable the creation of new communities in the near future.
Consider giving the app a look-see in the meantime, as I suspect it'll be used in more than a few neat collective experiments in the months ahead!
