Sui’s Astounding DeFi Growth Continues into 2024 as TVL Breaks the $500M Barrier

Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, February 5th, 2024, Chainwire

After Sui’s TVL surged more than 1500% over the last five months of 2023, its TVL has more than doubled since the start of 2024

Sui, one of the fastest-growing Layer 1 blockchains, continued its impressive DeFi growth, surpassing $500M in Total Value Locked (TVL) and solidifying itself in the top 10 of DeFi ecosystems. 

Alongside this torrid ascent of TVL, on-chain activity has exploded as well. Weekly DeFi volume is up 63 percent over the previous period, standing at $745M and placing it in the top 5 most active ecosystems in the past week. Sui’s continued climb demonstrates how its underlying technology is vital in empowering developers to create products that solve real-world challenges and the drive behind top projects expanding into its ecosystem. 

Over the past couple of weeks, Sui has announced several partnerships and expansions with industry-leading builders. Most recently, Sui announced that Ondo Finance—the third-largest organization in the real-world asset DeFi sector—is bringing its treasury-backed tokens, tokenized securities, and real-world assets into its ecosystem, as the Sui ecosystem is set to get its first native stablecoin. 

Sui also recently announced that Banxa, a leading payments infrastructure provider for the crypto-compatible economy, will add the SUI token to its platform. Also recently announced, a partnership with Oracle Stork provides builders with faster pricing data, offering real-time pricing data across Sui’s ecosystem of developers, DEXs, and lending protocols building on Sui’s blockchain.

“The fact that Sui now stands amongst the top ecosystems in crypto is a testament to Sui’s technology being able to attract top-tier developers and leading projects,” said Greg Siourounis, Managing Director of the Sui Foundation. “The recent partnership and expansion announcements, along with the surging metrics, point to Sui having true staying power. Sui is paving the way for widespread adoption and offers endless possibilities for innovation.” 

Sui’s object-centric model, horizontal scalability, and Move Language position it to host the most scalable solutions that have emerged from the blockchain industry to date. Its rapidly rising TVL results from multiple Sui-based protocols and applications leveraging Sui’s strengths. 

Sui also saw two ecosystem protocols break $100M TVL for the first time in the network’s history. Navi Protocol now stands at over $114M TVL (up 184% over the last 30 days), while Scallop Lend has surged to over $116M TVL (up 258% over the last 30 days). Cetus ($72M), Aftermath Finance ($58M), and FlowX Finance ($49M) round out the top five projects as measured by TVL.

QRDO Foundation and EQ LAB Announce Strategic Partnership to Launch the Warden Protocol

Cayman Islands, Cayman Islands, January 31st, 2024, Chainwire

The QRDO Foundation, dedicated to the growth and development of the QRDO ecosystem, has announced a strategic partnership with EQ LAB, a leading blockchain developer lab, to launch the Warden Protocol. This initiative accelerates the upcoming launch of the Warden Protocol, an intent-based interoperability protocol built on Cosmos and based on the Fusionchain primitive. 

Introducing the Warden Protocol

The Warden Protocol is a modular intent-centric blockchain built on the Cosmos-SDK. At its most basic level, it enables users to create Spaces and Wallets on various blockchains and govern their activity through on-chain intents. Complex multi-leg transactions can be built, and cross-chain activity protected via complex intents, all enforced on-chain by the Warden Protocol.

For the builders in the space, Warden enables smart contracts to be deployed on Cosmos using Solidity and WebAssembly, and facilitates a modular marketplace of key management solutions, from HSM solutions to multi-party computation providers.

“The Warden Protocol is the next evolution in intent and interoperability primitives,” said a representative for the QRDO Foundation, “joining forces with the EQ LAB team enables us to achieve this ambitious vision and ensures that QRDO token holders see the realization of a truly decentralized and open, intent-centric interoperability and key management protocol.” 

Various applications have pledged their support to deploy on Warden, including:

  • EQ.finance, a liquid staking hub for Cosmos that puts existing liquid staking tokens to work;
  • WARDD, a USD-pegged decentralized stablecoin that provides Warden users with instant access to dollar liquidity; 
  • Marginly, a pluggable protocol for decentralized funding pools that enable margin trading on any spot DEX; and
  • SpaceWard, a SAFE-like platform for wallet management and governance.

EQ LAB will form the core contributor team to the Warden Protocol and will bring an extensive team of 15 core developers to the Warden Protocol. 

“We are very pleased to be helping to establish the Warden Protocol as Core Contributors”, said Alex Melikhov, founder of EQ LAB, “as an experienced team of qualified blockchain developers, we see a bright future in the Cosmos ecosystem, and we look forward to seeing incredible value unlocked for both the existing QRDO and Q token holder communities”.

WARD Token

The Warden Protocol plans to introduce the WARD token via a fair launch mechanism. This launch will take place without any pre-mine or investor allocations, with eligibility for both an airdrop and an incentivised WARD-swap extending first to existing QRDO holders. As a nod to the public goods done by various other Cosmos chains, TIA and ATOM stakers will also be eligible, as well as builders and users from other complimentary protocols and chains. Further details will be announced shortly. 

The Alfama testnet will go live in the coming weeks, with details for an incentivised testnet to be published shortly.

App-Specific Rollup Cartesi Announces A $1 Million Ecosystem Grants Initiative

New York City, United States, January 30th, 2024, Chainwire

Developers can receive up to $50,000 USDC per project, plus dedicated tech support, introduction to accelerators and investors, marketing support and project consulting. 

Cartesi (CTSI), an app-specific rollup protocol with a virtual machine that runs Linux distributions, announced today an allocation for $1 million to the Cartesi Grants Program. The program is dedicated to fostering developer talent and enriching the Cartesi ecosystem by supporting new ideas & dApps, research & integrations, developer tooling and gaming. Independent developers, founding teams, DAOs, communities and collectives can apply starting today, Tuesday, January 30th and have the opportunity to receive up to $50,000 USDC per project, subject to community vote. Through this grants program, Cartesi aims to increase the number of long-term contributors and developers building novel applications on Cartesi. 

Areas of focus:

  • New ideas & dApps: Applications and experiments built using the Cartesi framework that offers value to the broader ecosystem. Currently, Cartesi is supporting Complex Vouchers, an advanced voucher system for external interactions.
  • Research & Integrations: Split into two tracks, Track 1 focuses on research and solutions that integrate Cartesi technology with other innovative technologies. For example, Cartenix uses the Cartesi VM and Nix Package system to leverage reproducible builds in a deterministic and verifiable environment. Having this on-chain provides a much higher level of security and trustlessness for developers.
  • Track 2 is dedicated to in-depth research on topics identified as crucial for the advancement of the Cartesi ecosystem. For example, open-source research associated with RISC-V, ZK, and Cartesi.
  • Developer tooling: Tools that simplify and enhance the experience for developers building on Cartesi. For example, Drand is a component of a larger set of tools for generating random numbers on Cartesi’s convenience layer. The goal is to create a framework for Cartesi that will make it easy for web3 developers to create dApps using Cartesi.
  • Gaming: Games that uniquely leverage the capabilities of Cartesi, such as open-source games that can be reused and built upon, game frameworks, convenience layers, and other infrastructure contributions. Currently under development is Dazzle, a competitive online puzzle RPG that leverages Cartesi Rollups and the Cartesi Machine for high-stake, e-sport-like tournaments. 

“This grants program is designed to foster long-term collaboration within the Cartesi ecosystem and increase the convenience and scalability of dApp development for both developers and users,” said Hellenstans.eth, Grants Steward in the Cartesi ecosystem. “The grants program offers financial support and invaluable technical guidance to kickstart any developer’s project.”

Cartesi’s first dApp, Honeypot, launched on the Ethereum mainnet this past summer. This dApp is designed to encourage developers to challenge the security of Cartesi Rollups. The Honeypot fund constantly increases by a compounded 8% weekly and is currently unbroken, holding 139,861 CTSI. 

The Cartesi Foundation has committed $1,000,000 in total to the first two waves of the Cartesi Grants Program. During Wave 1, the Grants Program will allocate a maximum of $500,000 USDC, with a further $500,000 USDC available for allocation during Wave 2.

The Cartesi Grants Program’s goal for Wave 1 is to significantly ramp up in speed and scale in future rounds of grant funding by gathering feedback on the grant process and lowering friction for proposers looking to apply for grants. To review the list of projects approved for funding during the pilot, visit governance.cartesi.io. To find out more and apply, please visit the Cartesi Grants Program page on Charmverse

Banxa Integration Brings Seamless, Low-Cost Fiat On-Ramps to Sui, Off-Ramps Coming Soon

GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, January 29th, 2024, Chainwire

Users will benefit from 0% gateway fees for accessing SUI tokens on Banxa for a limited time.*

(*Fee waiver is not available for UK customers)

Banxa, the leading payments infrastructure provider for the crypto-compatible economy, has announced it will add the SUI token to its platform. The integration will increase access to the Sui blockchain for users across the world, thanks to a suite of Banxa’s global and local payment methods, which have processed over $3 billion in transactions since its launch in 2014. Additionally, Mysten Labs’ Sui Wallet will provide users the opportunity to purchase SUI tokens through Banxa’s on-ramp and once fully integrated, to utilize its off-ramp solution. 

For a limited time, there will be no transaction gateway fees for buying SUI on Banxa. Thanks to this integration, users of some of the most established Web3 platforms such as Ledger, OKX, and MetaMask, will now have seamless, and initially, feeless, access to Sui.

“For a long time, fiat on and off ramps have been a source of friction for the crypto industry. That’s why Banxa, a platform that removes that friction, joining the Sui ecosystem is so important,” said Greg Siourounis, Managing Director of the Sui Foundation. “I am excited about the technical possibilities, broad access, and optionality that this integration will offer to the Sui community while simultaneously ensuring KYC compliance at each step.”

As a result of the integration of Banxa into the Sui ecosystem, developers building on Sui will now be able to leverage the powerful features provided by Banxa to add more functionalities and compliance measures to their dApps. For example, the NFT checkout solution will provide an enhanced NFT selling experience for end users. Additionally, developers can improve the overall user experience by reducing friction in the onboarding and offboarding processes. Users are more likely to engage with a dApp that offers a smooth and convenient transition between fiat and crypto.

“We think Sui is the most powerful and performant blockchain in the space,” said Holger Arians, CEO of Banxa. “The rapid growth of the Sui ecosystem since its mainnet launch is something we’re excited to tap into to advance our central objective of increasing the adoption of blockchain technology ”

Introduction to Adani Power

Adani Power Limited is a subsidiary of the Adani Group, one of India’s largest conglomerates with interests in sectors ranging from infrastructure to energy. Adani Power, established in 2006, primarily focuses on power generation and distribution. The company operates a diverse portfolio of thermal and renewable power plants, making it a key player in India’s energy landscape.

To understand the current state of Adani Power’s share price, it’s essential to first look at its historical performance. Over the past decade, Adani Power’s stock has experienced both highs and lows, reflecting the volatile nature of the power sector and the broader stock market.

The Upward Trajectory (2010-2017)

From 2010 to 2017, Adani Power witnessed a steady upward trajectory in its share price. This period was marked by strong revenue growth, successful capacity expansion, and increased demand for electricity in India. Factors such as favorable government policies and a booming economy played a significant role in the company’s success. During this phase, Adani Power’s share price experienced substantial gains, attracting both institutional and retail investors.

The Challenges (2018-2020)

However, the company faced challenges in the subsequent years. The power sector in India encountered issues related to fuel supply, regulatory changes, and economic slowdowns. Adani Power’s share price was not immune to these challenges, and it experienced a significant drop during this period. The stock price volatility was exacerbated by uncertainties surrounding the renewable energy sector and environmental concerns.

The Resurgence (2021-Present)

In recent years, Adani Power has staged a remarkable comeback. The company adapted to the changing energy landscape by increasing its focus on renewable energy projects, aligning with global trends towards sustainability.
