It’s rare to see something as complete as DevHub when it comes to supporting developers in Web3.
Instead of scattering resources across a dozen platforms, @NEARProtocol DevHub consolidates everything, from grants and mentorship to bounties and dev tooling into one focused space.
This kind of structure gives builders more than funding, it gives direction. It aligns ecosystem priorities with real output and ensures contributors aren’t just incentivized, they’re fully equipped to move fast and build confidently.
It’s the little details that show how seriously @Lombard_Finance takes resilience.
Their failsafe isn’t just a backup plan, it’s a core part of the protocol’s defense system, built to absorb shocks and give the team and Consortium the window they need to respond with precision.
Telestai has been quietly cooking, and now the results are starting to show, not just updates, but actual product progress across the board.
Zeroa’s UI overhaul feels like proper web3. It’s clean, responsive, and actually usable. They’re already working on fiat onramps via CoinMetro and Flux integration for storage and that’s how you prep for serious adoption.
LASKO on the other hand hitting open beta this early is huge. Built entirely from scratch in under a year, and now pushing into features like gif support, AI mod updates, profile tools, and more. You can tell this team’s not waiting around, they’re actually shipping.
@Telestai_io is building real infrastructure and I'm bullish on where this is going.
It’s live and worth testing. https://t.co/Gj0Q5c3TKM
What @Lombard_Finance has built with reverse monitoring adds a real layer of trust to the redemption process.
By verifying that burns are complete and legitimate before allowing any BTC withdrawal, the protocol closes off loopholes that could be exploited on less secure systems. It’s a thoughtful approach that reinforces confidence across chains.
Lombard’s Trustless Relayer quietly does heavy lifting by tracking blockchain activity and triggering LBTC minting once everything checks out with the Security Consortium.
It keeps an on-chain record for Proof-of-Reserve, which adds a solid layer of trust on @Lombard_Finance.
Automating this process means less room for error and faster, smoother operations. It’s one of those behind-the-scenes tools that make the whole system run tighter and safer.
NEAR’s Nightshade sharding feels like a breakthrough in scaling, something Ethereum has aimed for but hasn’t fully reached yet.
Each shard takes care of its own set of transactions, spreading the load evenly, while users still experience everything as one smooth system.
This kind of native horizontal scaling avoids the pitfalls of rollups or fragmented liquidity that slow things down elsewhere. It’s a clean, elegant solution that keeps performance high without compromising decentralization. Watching how this shapes @NEARProtocol's ecosystem and influences the wider space is exciting.
The LBTC contract is built for both security and adaptability.
It supports seamless upgrades and enables gasless transactions through permit functionality, reducing friction for users. Roles like Minter, Claimer, and Operator are clearly defined to ensure proper governance and control.
@Lombard_Finance designed this system to deliver reliability and a smooth experience, setting a high standard for how BTC assets move in DeFi.
Lombard’s PMM is quietly solving a big problem, making it easy and safe to swap between LBTC and other Bitcoin tokens like BTCB.
With strong risk controls, it feels built for everyday users, not just pros. This kind of steady, reliable swapping helps bring more people into Bitcoin’s DeFi world without the usual hassle. It’s one of those small but crucial steps @Lombard_Finance is taking that moves the space forward.
Stablecoin supply keeps climbing, hitting new highs.
USDT still leads by a big margin, with USDC and BUSD growing steadily too. The diversity of stablecoins shows how much this market has matured, it’s no longer just a few names dominating.
Watching these shifts helps spot where liquidity flows next and what ecosystems are building real traction.
There’s real depth behind how $LBTCv works inside the @Lombard_Finance DeFi Vault.
Deposit LBTC, cbBTC, or WBTC and you’ll receive $LBTCv, a token that tracks your share of the vault. As the vault earns, the value of each $LBTCv grows, measured by the vault’s TVL divided by total supply. WBTC enters with a small fee, while LBTC and cbBTC go in without one. Redemptions always return LBTC, no matter what you deposit.
A three-day withdrawal window keeps things secure and economically stable. It’s a clean way to stay liquid, earn passively, and hold exposure to BTC without losing flexibility.
The smartest teams in Web3 are doing more than chasing users.
They’re focusing on alignment. With Starboard, @Galxe gives projects a way to identify who really matters, not only users, but builders, LPs, and true supporters. That kind of insight is what real ecosystem growth is built on.
One of the most revolutionary frameworks I’ve explored recently is the Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP) by @virtuals_io.
This is not a theoretical structure, It is an infrastructure layer for decentralized autonomous systems to transact meaningfully.
ACP defines clear and enforceable stages: Request, Negotiation, Transaction, and Evaluation. These stages make agent-to-agent and agent-to-human interactions trustless, auditable, and fully on-chain.
The genius of Virtuals Protocol lies in its ability to make every part of the commerce loop verifiable by default while still preserving the autonomy of the agents involved.
