Union might be the most slept-on infra play of 2025 🪂
While others farm noise, they’ve been quietly building the multichain glue
Why @union_build matters?
- zk-powered cross-chain infra - 275M txs on testnet - secured by BTC via Babylon - assets flowing between ETH, Cosmos & soon Bitcoin - 5,866 contributors in trusted setup
$16M from Gumi, LongHash, Polygon, Celestia
yapping = earning, 1% of token supply to early believers via Mad Yaps
already live w/ @KaitoAI - you still early
BTC-native DeFi?
They are cooking @Gandalf_NFT joined the team, and it’s not for show
- Hardware-based proofs [yeah, real chips] - Shrinks GBs to bytes, telegram bot friendly fr - Zk on your phone with a device called Air - Verifying GPT-4 in 10s? already happening
They’re building a proving engine so fast, Vitalik might use it to speedrun ETH2
@boundless_xyz = zk proof marketplace
@cysic_xyz = zk proof factory
ASICs coming soon. zk infra bout to get faster, cheaper, everywhere
HeyElsaAI by @anoma might be the biggest cheat code 👀
What does it do?
- Automates multi-step DeFi ops - Protects you from rug IQ decisions - Speaks human, not dev gibberish - Turns noobs into giga brains - Turns giga brains into actual whales
Think ChatGPT but it trades for you and doesn’t buy top

You just say what you want - Elsa handles the rest alpha? Optimized
- Pay to use protocol tools - Cover fees for agent execution - Stake to earn sTHQ emissions - Lock for boosted influence + αTHQ rewards - Delegate to agents for yield + discounts - Secure the network with slashing mechanics
This is how utility should be in 2025
You don’t just hold $THQ - you use it and the more you do, the more the system rewards you
@irys_xyz trained in public - quests, games, typing tests all stored onchain to prove one thing: programmable data works
Now it’s time for Mainnet
And with it:
- Scalable, permanent storage - EVM compute via IrysVM - Built-in data provenance - Foundation for verifiable AI & digital memory - TGE drops with Mainnet
Testnet activity might just become your onchain legacy
