June loading… mainnet loading… We’re not just entering a new chapter, we’re flipping the whole script. $ZIG heating up and it’s not by luck. This one’s got legs.
Big moves everywhere: ◈ Ellington stepping in with billions ◈ $BERT (yeah, the memecoin with a mission) just touched down on ZIGChain ◈ $25M AI fund with DWF & Disrupt going live ◈ And oh… a whole $100M ecosystem fund backed by DWF Labs. That’s not small money.
Then there’s @NawaFinance, already doing $40M TVL and got that Shariah cert from Amanie Advisors. Ethical DeFi? Yeah, we got that too. On ZIGChain, if your protocol brings real yield, the bag chasers will come. Simple.
ZIGChain isn’t building in silence anymore. Mainnet around the corner. Energy rising. This ain’t hype, it’s facts.
@linq_ai is revolutionizing how businesses operate by combining AI, blockchain, and decentralized compute to tackle inefficiencies head-on.
From powerful tools like Marketr & Synthetiq to strategic alliances with @IBM, @Fetch_ai, and @nonbank_io, $LNQ is building real utility with unstoppable momentum.
• AI that predicts your content’s success before it goes live
• Real-world use cases solving a $50B+ cloud inefficiency problem
• Strong tokenomics (buybacks, burns, and real utility = long-term value)
• Transparent, relentless, and future-proof
Marketing is the heart of every business, $LNQ is making it smarter, faster, better.
Whether you're a creator, strategist, or investor, the future is clearly being built here.
The onchain AI stack is no longer theory, it’s live, and $EMP is powering the entire movement.
@EmpyrealSDK has been building relentlessly, and while most projects chase hype, they’ve been heads-down shipping actual products. That quiet grind is starting to echo across the ecosystem.
$EMP isn’t just undervalued, it’s misunderstood. Because people are still catching up to what’s already working.
Here’s what’s live:
◈ Tip, swap, and launch directly on X ◈ Deploy AI agents in minutes, no dev needed ◈ Agents live-trading perps on GMX via @Kudai_IO ◈ Fair-launch tokens from a single tweet ◈ Prediction markets on memes, sports, and news via @BetOnBluff_io ◈ The first AI market maker @Simmi_IO ◈ AI-governed protocol with @talos_is ◈ Native privacy for swaps and transfers ◈ Emp Cloud, the launchpad for agent economies
And it’s not just features, it’s real usage, real integrations, real forward motion.
Partnered with Arbitrum. Scaling across chains. Powering a future where autonomous agents run businesses, manage treasuries, and operate with zero friction.
This isn’t a fork or a trend follower. $EMP is what most DeFi projects pretend to be, with traction, infrastructure, and timing all aligned.
If you’re looking for real utility and a runway of product rollouts in the hottest vertical (AI x Web3), pay attention.
$EMP is building the coordination layer for the next era of onchain economies.
@Spectre__AI just partnered with $AUTOS. Real vehicles, real payments, real revenue. $65M+ already processed. Now you can use $SPECT to buy a damn car. That’s real-world utility, not vaporware.
Nothing about this feels random. No circus, no fluff, just a squad that builds, delivers, and keeps showing up.
The real ones already know. This isn’t hype. This is serious infra in Web3:
$ETH is alive and kicking, and it just dropped a major upgrade.
Pectra is now live on Ethereum mainnet
• Smart wallets are here (finally, no more clunky UX) • L2s got a boost with 2x blob space • Validators getting some love too
This upgrade is no joke, 11 EIPs packed in, including raising the staking cap to 2,048 ETH and letting wallets act like smart contracts. Huge.
Market’s feeling it. $ETH up 22% in a day, sitting around $2,250. BTC? Bro just flew past $100K again. ETF flows are solid. Feels like we’re back in that risk-on vibe.
ETH might’ve been sleeping all year, but it’s catching up fast. L2s are heating, altcoins are getting attention, and the bulls? They’re knocking.
Over the past 2 months, $TAO stayed flat… until recently. Now it's on a 50%+ pump and over 10x up in 2 years. Why the sudden move? Let’s break it down:
At first glance, $TAO might look like another AI token riding the hype. But it’s way deeper than that. Bittensor is building the decentralized backbone for AI + machine learning.
Like Bitcoin, $TAO has: • A fixed supply (21M) • Halvings (next one soon!) But unlike BTC, halving isn’t by block. It’s triggered when circulating supply hits 10.5M. We’re at 8.6M now. Tick tock.
So what’s behind this recent pump? Two words: AI Subnets. Bittensor has over 100 subnetworks, each handling a specific AI task: • Model training • Compute power • Prediction • Data management Even Deepseek is running on TAO, for free.
But here’s the alpha… Every subnet is required to buy and use $TAO. No separate subnet tokens stealing value. Just one token = one ecosystem = massive buy pressure as the network grows.
And value doesn’t just sit on the subnets. TAO’s Root chain captures the value of all subnets combined. Imagine if DOT = all parachain value Or ATOM = all Cosmos zones That’s what $TAO is doing. Today.
$BTC has officially reclaimed the $100K level for the third time since December 2024, pumping as high as $103,460 and dragging the entire market into green heaven
#Meme coins popping #AI tokens flying Shorts wrecked ($118M liquidated) Altcoins on fire $ETH smashed $2,200 $SOL & $ADA up 10%+
Why the pump? ◈ Trump teased a U.S.-U.K. trade deal ◈ Institutional inflows back ($1.8B in ETF buys) ◈ Falling bond yields + weaker dollar ◈ Market hopes for rate cuts soon ◈ Trump called Powell a “fool” and says rate cuts = “jet fuel”
Sophon: The Underrated Chain Building Web3’s Next Cultural Explosion
The Chain They’re Not Talking About (Yet)
How $SOPH is setting the stage for something massive, quietly.
There’s a pattern I’ve noticed in this space. The loudest projects usually fizzle out. The quiet ones? They build.
While everyone’s eyes are glued to the TVL leaderboard or begging for another “airdrop meta,” there’s a different kind of project taking shape behind the noise: Sophon.
And trust me, you’ll want to understand what’s happening here, before everyone else does.
Sophon 101: Not Just Another L2
Let’s be honest, “new Layer 2” has lost its punch. We’ve seen hundreds launch. Most are just clones with a coat of paint and vibes.
Sophon? Different beast entirely.
It’s not trying to be the next Arbitrum or Optimism.
It’s carving out its own lane as a zk-native Validium Hyperchain...
Which basically means: ◈ Uses zk-proofs to settle on Ethereum (security) ◈ Pushes computation + data off-chain (scalability) ◈ Keeps gas stupidly cheap for users (growth)
This combo lets Sophon do what most chains can’t: Power real, high-volume applications like gaming, SocialFi, and AI-driven experiences, without the bloat, lag, or L1 fees dragging everyone down.
In short: It’s Web3 with Web2 speed.
What Makes Sophon Special? Let’s Unpack the Magic:
➺ Entertainment, But On-Chain: Forget clunky Web3 UX. Sophon blends Web2 smoothness with blockchain perks, games, social apps, even online shopping, with full ownership baked in.
➺ Built For the People: This isn’t some top-down protocol. Sophon hands the mic to the community to create, earn, collaborate, and make your mark.
➺ Powered by ZK Stack: Instead of getting lost in bridge hell, Sophon taps zkSync’s stack to talk to other rollups natively. Fewer hoops, smoother hops.
➺ Your Whole Web2 Life, One Secure Identity: Thanks to zkTLS, you can connect your Web2 accounts under a single, private zk-powered ID. No data leaks, no drama, just seamless logins everywhere.
Where Tech Meets Vibes
Now here’s where it gets spicy:
Sophon is building an experience not just chain.
The chain isn’t about maximizing TPS for the sake of flexing. It’s about enabling digital culture:
◈ AAA games ◈ Viral apps ◈ Smart social layers ◈ Onchain fun
There’s even an AI system built in called Sophia, basically the "brain of the chain", feeding apps data insights and optimization on autopilot.
Think of it like zkSync’s brain had a baby with an open metaverse.
Don’t Sleep on the People Behind It The brainpower behind Sophon includes:
◈ 0xsebastiena, ex-head of DeFi at zkSync (2022–2024) ◈ Pentoshi, a familiar name to any OG Twitter degen ◈ Advisors like Merit Circle (yes, the gaming DAO kings)
They’ve already raised $71M+ from elite backers:
◈ Binance Labs ◈ Spartan Group ◈ Impossible Finance
And then there was the May 2024 Node Sale:
◈ Invite-only. ◈ Fully diluted valuation of $132M. ◈ 200K licenses sold out, quietly.
This is infrastructure now hype.
$SOPH Isn’t Live, But The Play Has Begun
You know the story: Projects launch. Tokens pump. Retail enters too late.
This time, the real play is before the TGE.
Here’s what’s active right now:
◈ Staking ETH, stETH, USDC to farm Sophon Points (SP) ◈ Node holders already positioned ◈ No KYC ◈ Airdrop speculation very real
10% of $SOPH is reserved for pre-mainnet contributors, and SP converts to SOPH post-TGE.
This is the kind of slow-burn setup that most ignore, until the narrative flips and they’re scrambling to catch up.
Look Closer, and You'll See the Flywheel
You ever watch a flywheel spin up? Starts slow. Looks boring. Then it hits a point where momentum explodes.
That’s what’s happening here.
We’re at the build-and-seed stage of the Sophon story. And already:
◈ Bridges are live (Layerswap, Orbiter, Portal) ◈ DApps are shipping (SyncSwap, Noon Capital, Petopia) ◈ Campaigns are rolling (Kaito’s $150K Yaps campaign) ◈ Ecosystem rewards are stacking (Petopia S2, Genesis NFTs)
The best part? Most of the liquidity flywheel hasn’t even started.
zkSync Might Route the Liquidity. Sophon Might Catch It.
Here’s a scenario:
zkSync becomes the universal liquidity router in the modular rollup world. It helps money flow across chains and L2s.
Cool.
But where does that value settle? Where do users stay? Where do builders build?
Answer: Sophon could be that final destination.
It’s close to zkSync, inherits its security, and aligns with the bigger zk mission. But it’s not competing. It’s specializing, in culture, entertainment, and smart AI utility.
It doesn’t need to be everything. It just needs to be the right thing.
What Sets Sophon Apart from the Noise?
➺ Infrastructure-first approach → This isn’t “launch now, fix later.” Sophon is doing it in reverse.
Over 50 STASHERS flew in from the Netherlands to Dubai. Not for hype. Not for airdrops. But for conviction, to stand behind what they truly believe in.
In this space, community is the real alpha. 95% of projects chase products and profits... But forget the people who actually bring them to life.
And the summit? They dropped a TRIPLE A-BOMB:
◈ Mainnet goes live June 25. Get ready to ride.
◈ $25M DeFAI Fund, with the backing of giants: @ZigLabs_, @Disrupt_com & @DWFLabs.
◈ Tokenized stocks now live via @Zamanathq on @Zignaly. RWA just got real.
#AI narrative, it's where I see the 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭 potential by 𝘣𝘺 𝘧𝘢𝘳, and I'm committed to keep pushing, sharing value, and educating the fam every step of the way.
From the hidden gems to tomorrow’s leaders, these names are starting to shine: $TAO • $LNQ • $SPECT • $EMP • $VERTAI • $DEAI • $PAAL • #M87 • $ZKML
In a market led by Bitcoin’s moves, opportunity often starts small, and grows fast. The real ones are already positioning early.
Meanwhile... #Bitcoin ($BTC) has been putting on a show: $𝟵𝟱,𝟯𝟴𝟬, up 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 10% this week alone!
Buyers came in swinging, pushing BTC right up to the $95K resistance. Even though it's taking a bit to punch through, what's impressive is, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘁 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻. No major sell-offs. No panic.
Fueling this fire? Massive flows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs: $𝟯.𝟬𝟲 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 in 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘴, according to Farside Investors. Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas nailed it:
