It's been a long wait, first congratulations 🎉 on the official launch of the Methane Foundation's Twitter! 🎉🎉🎉

Why focus on methane assets under the Alkanes protocol now? #METHANE

As the crypto market enters a deep water zone of protocol-level innovation, the Alkanes protocol breaks the deadlock with a highly tensioned economic model. Methane (METHANE), as the core asset of the ecosystem, is constructing a value flywheel through a triple mechanism:

5x Speed Airdrop Rights

Holding methane equivalent to 1U = Accumulate 5x XP acceleration cards

The XP system is essentially a “proof of work” for protocol interactions, and currently, holding at least 0.001 BTC can trigger rewards (refer to the official data sheet)

Historical experience shows that in ecosystems like Starknet and Blast, XP weight directly determines airdrop shares, and a 5x gain could bring exponential return differences.

AMM Liquidity Infrastructure Dividend

The soon-to-launch AMM adopts a “protocol-led liquidity” model, with official LP funding pool depth guarantee:

Reducing early impermanent loss risk

Ensuring trading slippage better than similar DEXs

Forming a positive feedback loop for price discovery

Historical reference: Uniswap's early LPs had annualized returns exceeding 1000%, and current protocol-level support may replicate wealth effects.

Ecological Incubation Expectation Gap

The foundation is simultaneously launching content ecosystem construction (Twitter/community/AMA matrix)

Technical documents show that the XP system can be reused across protocols (potentially connecting to more DeFi applications in the future)

Comparing to the growth path of the Polygon ecosystem, early participants could capture an appreciation space of 20-50 times.

Market Observation: On-chain data shows that in the past 7 days, smart money addresses holding METHANE have increased by 300%, and whale movements often reflect value discovery trends in advance.

For investors who prefer left-side layouts, current methane assets present a golden combination of “low liquidity premium + high expected odds.” Establishing positions before the AMM officially launches may become a strategic window to capture protocol development dividends.
