Yesterday, ZKsync announced the launch of Elastic Chain, an infinitely scalable ZK rollup network. This idea was first proposed in 2022 and was originally called "bridgeless hyperchain". ZKsync said that this solution realizes native, trustless, and low-cost interoperability between ZK chains. Elastic Chain is not a new L1/L2 chain, but a solution to connect various ZK networks. Odaily will explain its functions and features in this article.

Project background and original intention

Ethereum's Rollup-centered development roadmap successfully reduced transaction fees, increased transaction speeds, and the network's processing power. However, as Layer 2 began to overflow, liquidity was fragmented on the one hand, and "reinventing the wheel" on various chains on the other hand resulted in uneven product quality and poor user experience.

The Bankless analysis team recently made predictions on the rise and fall of 16 tokens in the next three months, including mainstream tokens and popular tokens in the L1 track, L2 track, LSD track and other tracks. This article will organize the predictions and reasons of the Bankless analyst team for readers' reference.

L1 plate
Solana（SUN）
View: Bearish
Reason: Meme market is not good, selling pressure increases
Forecast period: June 21, 2024 to September 21, 2024
Predicted price: $132.79
Forecasted price performance to date: Up 5.88%
The Bankless analysis team expects that as the Meme coin craze further subsides, SOL's subsequent performance will be worse than ETH.

Two popular games in the TON ecosystem, Hamster Kombat and Catizen, will launch tokens in July. Most players will soon reap the rewards, but they will not stop there. The popularity of the TON ecosystem prompts players to continue looking for the next game Alpha project.
Last week, Odaily Planet Daily introduced several popular and new games in the TON ecosystem in the article "Operation Guide: Inventory of 10 Interactive New Projects in TON Ecosystem", which attracted the attention of readers and also found that many readers need tools related to TON ecosystem games. This article will introduce several tools, including wallet configuration, how to find popular TON ecosystem games and multi-game simulator methods.

On Thursday evening, June 27, local time in the United States, the well-known American media CNN hosted the first face-to-face debate of the 2024 presidential election. In this presidential debate, US President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump engaged in a fierce confrontation in the CNN studio in Atlanta. This debate, which lasted 90 minutes, marked the first head-on collision between the two heavyweight politicians in the new round of elections.
The debate process was generally regarded as a "big disappointment" by the American media. Compared with expressing political views, the debate between the two was more often caught up in groundless accusations and arguments based on false information. In terms of momentum, Biden was obviously a step slower and often failed to respond to Trump's accusations, giving people the impression that Trump was sure to win. After the end, Trump's winning rate on the crypto prediction market Polymarket has reached 65%, setting a new record; Biden's related meme coin BODEN fell sharply, with a 24-hour drop of 38.6%.

The entire market sentiment has been very pessimistic recently, especially the altcoin market. Under the circumstance of the instability of the entire Bitcoin market, altcoins have plummeted all the way, and there are many projects that have been cut in half.
However, in this bleak market situation, the performance of the Ton ecosystem has been very stable. TON has risen by 23% in the past thirty days. The TVL of the entire Ton ecosystem has taken off since March this year, increasing by more than 6 times in just four months. In addition, projects such as Notcoin in the ecosystem have soared in both price and user volume. Is the summer of the Ton ecosystem coming?
New highlights of Ton Ecosystem
The biggest feature of the Ton ecosystem is that it has the support of Telegram's 900 million active users. However, it has always been criticized that there is not a close connection between Ton and Telegram, and the entire Telegram platform system does not empower Ton too much, and Ton is still "air".

This article will show the unlocking activities of various relevant crypto projects in July 2024, with Worldcoin token WLD taking the lead in both scale and value.

Take a moment to check if the tokens you currently hold are part of this month’s unlock and be cautious if you have invested in them.

Top 15 Tokens by Unlocked Value in July 2024

Let’s explore the total unlocked value, including Cliff unlocked and linear unlocked, for July 2024. The chart below shows the unlocked value of the top 15 projects, highlighting their size relative to circulating supply and total supply.

On June 28, Beijing time, VanEck launched the VanEck Solana Trust and submitted an application for the Solana spot ETF to the SEC.

Interestingly, SOL, which applied for a spot ETF this time, has not had its futures ETF approved and put online for trading before. Is the release of the Solana spot ETF submission news just a hype?
No futures ETFs have been launched and are considered securities
VanEck, which submitted the Solana spot ETF to the US SEC, is one of the issuers of the BTC and ETH spot ETFs previously approved by the US. Summarizing the speech of VanEck's digital asset research director at X, it can be concluded that the reason why VanEck applied for the Solana spot ETF is roughly because it is very optimistic about Solana's technology and sees its prospects for widespread use as a digital commodity and a large number of customers holding it.

The new feature Actions & Blinks recently launched by @Solana has sparked debate from different schools of thought.

For a detailed explanation of the new features, please refer to this official document: https://solana.com/docs/advanced/actions

To put it simply, taking the current test field as an example, when the user turns on this feature in the Solana plug-in wallet in the browser, when browsing Twitter, he can directly interact with posts with this feature embedded on the current page (buy tokens/vote/stake/NFT minting...).

By using plug-ins to reach out to traditional centralized social platforms, we can truly "Use Solana, everywhere."

According to BlockBeats, on July 1, according to Token Unlocks data, multiple projects will have a one-time large-scale token unlocking this week, among which DYDX, SUI, and IO will unlock a total of approximately US$84.5 million, including:

Manta Network will unlock approximately 1.87 million tokens at 8:00 on July 1, accounting for 0.57% of the circulation, worth approximately $1.88 million;

Dydx will unlock approximately 8.33 million tokens at 8:00 on July 1, accounting for 3.12% of the circulation, worth approximately US$11.18 million;

Sui will unlock approximately 64.19 million tokens at 8:00 on July 1, accounting for 2.65% of the circulation, worth approximately US$50.1 million;

The recent market may be a bit boring, and after the airdrop storm of zkSync and LayerZero, many players have lost confidence in airdrops. I am also an ordinary player who has no experience and no time to log in in batches to catch a project and play it wildly. Although we don’t have the ability and energy of a studio, we might as well spend some time to do some projects that can be played casually when the market is boring, to see if we can get a little blessing.

MapleStory Universe

MapleStory is too classic. Rhythm introduced the background of Nexon moving this classic game, which has been in service for 20 years, to the blockchain more than a year ago. If you are interested in learning more, you can refer to this article. (Related reading: "MapleStory + NFT", why does a classic game with more than 180 million registered players choose to go on the blockchain?)

More than a week ago, DEX Screener quietly launched Moonshot, a meme launch product interface.

Simply put, Moonshot allows players to check out the popular new memes on DEX Screener. In addition, players can also issue their own meme coins on DEX Screener. Once Moonshot was launched, many players came in to experience it.

After the new product was released, the community had high expectations for it. A community member said, "Moonshot relies on Dexscreener and uses its huge user base to provide more detailed token trading information to early trading users of Meme coins. The unified token details page design also reduces the user's learning cost and helps new and old users get started faster."

At 9 p.m. Beijing time on the 27th, market news said that VanEck submitted an application for the Solana ETF, which instantly ignited the token market of the Solana ecosystem. The price of SOL once exceeded 150 USDT, and the leading tokens of the ecosystem such as WIF and RAY rose by more than 10% within an hour.
Subsequently, Matthew Sigel, head of digital asset research at VanEck, confirmed the news on the X platform. VanEck has applied to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the Solana ETF. The new fund is called VanEck Solana Trust and is the first Solana ETF applied for in the United States.
Talking about why he applied for the Solana ETF, Matthew said: "Solana is a competitor to Ethereum, capable of handling transactions such as payments, transactions, games, and social interactions. The Solana blockchain runs as a single global state machine without the need for sharding or Layer 2, providing a better user experience. We believe that the combination of high throughput, low fees, strong security, and a strong community atmosphere makes Solana an attractive choice for ETFs, providing investors with a versatile and innovative open source ecosystem."

1. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index reached 40, indicating that market sentiment is in a state of "extreme panic". This index usually fluctuates between 1-100 points, and 40 points is a very low level.

2. The market continues to be in a "panic" mood, reflecting investors' concerns and anxiety about the prospects of the cryptocurrency market.

3. This extreme negative sentiment often occurs at the trough of the market cycle, usually indicating that prices may fall further, but it may also mean that a rebound is imminent.

4. For investors, this period requires extra caution to avoid excessive panic and impulsive decisions. At the same time, they should also pay attention to some projects with good fundamentals and look for long-term investment opportunities.

OK, let me introduce memecoin to you:

Meme coins are virtual cryptocurrencies based on popular Internet meme images or memes. They are usually created as a fun, entertaining cryptocurrency and are not intended to be a means of payment for mainstream use.

Some of the main meme coins include:

1.Dogecoin (DOGE)

It was created in 2013 and is based on a famous image of a Shiba Inu.
Considered to be one of the original and most successful meme coins.

Although it was originally created as a joke, it later gained certain value and application.

2. Shiba Inu (SHIB)
