$NIL is sitting near $0.088 today, well off the roughly $0.14 it touched in late September.
I didn't open the chart, though.
Instead I went back through the @Nillion Covenant docs, because one design choice keeps bugging me.
Once a Covenant is posted in Dusk, it can't be cancelled. The first release also caps conditions at 30 days.
Everyone's pitching "a stop-loss nobody can hunt," and I get the appeal. Hidden intent is a real edge. But a sealed order you can't pull is a different animal from a stop you can move when the market changes its mind. You're trading flexibility for secrecy, and I'm not sure most traders have priced that in. 🤔
That's the risk I'd watch, more than node count. The product only works if people size these instructions like commitments, not like normal orders. I'd expect a few painful lessons early.
What I'm tracking is whether early usage leans toward clock-based releases or real price triggers. That split would show whether anyone trusts it with size yet.
Which Covenant use case survives the no-cancel rule better: sealed auction bids or stop-losses?

🔎 Lower highs since the 0.2817 spike with price under all three MAs, while 1D is still up on 30D (+18%), which is the conflict.
🧠 $EIGEN : Ethereum restaking protocol where EIGEN is used to resolve disputes that can't be proven on-chain; the token is designed to be inflationary.
💬 Does restaking demand keep growing with ETH, or is the AVS yield story already priced in?
🔎 1H holds above the EMA20 with a rising MA stack and RSI(14) near 61, while 1D is mixed (7D −4.7%, 30D +17%).
🧠 $HBAR : Hedera runs hashgraph consensus and is governed by a council of large enterprises; that governance is less decentralized than most L1s, and 1Y is −45.8%.
💬 Does council governance make Hedera more attractive to enterprises, or cap its decentralization premium?
🔎 1H is sliding under MA(7), MA(25) and MA(99) with 1D in agreement, but RSI near 20 means a relief bounce can reach the stop.
🧠 $BERA : Proof-of-Liquidity L1 where staking is tied to liquidity provision; the Foundation's "Bera Builds Businesses" plan targets revenue-generating apps; 1Y is −90.5% on Binance.
💬 Can "Bera Builds Businesses" create real BERA demand, or is Proof-of-Liquidity still emission-driven?
Binance net equity inflows hit $163M, the highest since early July and a fourth straight weekly rise.
I checked Binance Research's earlier ten-week data: users bought hardest when QQQ fell, averaging about $207M on down weeks versus roughly $50M on up weeks. If that pattern holds, I'm reading this as dip-buying, not momentum chasing.
I can't confirm both datasets use the identical definition, though. Does a streak of dip-buying inflows usually mark a bottom, or just early buyers getting trapped?
🔎 Price is above the 1H EMA20 (≈0.0007107), 4H highs and lows are stepping up, and RSI sits near 64 after the 0.000849 rejection.
🧠 $AMP : collateral token used by Flexa to back instant payments; 30D is +75.76% but 1Y is −70.58%, and a spike on 8.46B tokens of volume can fade as fast as it arrived.
💬 Does collateral-backed payments demand justify a 75.76% monthly run, or is this volume rotation?
🔎 Price is above the 1H EMA20 (≈0.2887) after breaking out of a tight range, with RSI near 62, though 7D is still −5.21%.
🧠 $RAD : governance token of Radworks, the team behind Radicle's peer-to-peer code collaboration; the 10.39% pop came on 4.00M USDT of volume, and one candle drove most of it, which is thin.
💬 Does decentralized code hosting have real demand beyond governance-token speculation?
🔎 Price is back under the tangled 1H MA7, MA25 and MA99 (0.2320 to 0.2338) after a one-candle spike failed to hold.
🧠 $AVA : Started as the Travala.com travel-booking token, with utility tied to booking discounts; it carries Binance's Monitoring Tag and trades on thin volume.
💬 Can a travel-booking token keep real demand once the spike traders leave?
🔎 After the spike to 0.1034, price has ranged for several candles above the 1H MA25 (0.0927) with the MA stack still ordered up.
🧠 $DUSK : Privacy-focused L1 aimed at regulated assets, using zero-knowledge proofs for selective disclosure; the risk is that adoption depends on a slow institutional pipeline.
💬 Is compliant privacy a real market for tokenized securities, or does regulation squeeze it out?
🔎 Price just reclaimed the 1H MA7 (1,193.70) but is still capped by the MA25 (1,207.22) and MA99 (1,236.18).
🧠 $ZEC : Privacy coin using zk-SNARK shielded transactions to hide sender, receiver and amount; the risk is regulatory pressure and exchange delistings of privacy assets.
💬 Is optional privacy a feature or a liability for exchange listings?
