Staking program amassed over $129M TVL in less than 24 hours
Zircuit, a security-focused zero-knowledge rollup backed by pioneering L2 research, launched Zircuit Staking, an innovative program that allows users to stake ETH, liquid staking tokens (LSTs), and liquid restaking tokens (LRTs) to earn Zircuit Points. Shortly after launch, Zircuit Staking has already accumulated over $129M on the Ethereum mainnet and continues to rise.
Zircuit’s community has gained an impressive following of over 112K Twitter followers and 125K Discord members within a short four-month time span. The exponential growth of this community has also led to the early success of Zircuit’s staking program. In comparison, Starkware started in 2018 and only has 229K Twitter followers and $134M in TVL according to DefiLlama. Zircuit is on track to surpass these numbers in terms of both community engagement and TVL.
With the rapid ascent of EigenLayer, Zircuit is leveraging a growing surge in interest around restaking protocols. Less than 24 hours since launch, the program has already accumulated over $129 million TVL, signaling significant interest and confidence in the project.
Through the staking program, users can Zircuit points on top of any staking yield or other existing points. Users that opt-in to migrate their assets to the Zircuit Mainnet when it goes live are rewarded the most. Users can withdraw at any time and keep the points and yield earned, so ETH isn’t hard-locked like in Blast or Mantle. Currently, Lido Finance, Renzo Protocol, Swell Network, Kelp DAO, and Liquid Collective are supported with more integrations to come over the coming weeks.

The roadmap outlines the transition to the game’s Beta phase, introducing player-to-player trading and expanded user-generated content capabilities while advancing towards full decentralization.
My Neighbor Alice has revealed its 2024 roadmap, which includes the announcement of the upcoming Beta Season 1. The Beta phase aims to build upon the popularity of Alpha Season 4, which generated over 1.5 million transactions on Chromia’s Appnet while attracting thousands of players.
My Neighbor Alice is a decentralized multiplayer game that allows players to explore, gather resources, and craft unique NFTs while shaping the virtual world of the Lummelunda Archipelago. The game is built on Chromia, a Layer-1 relational blockchain platform that uses a modular framework to enable the creation of complex, fully on-chain dapps.
The latest roadmap emphasizes a significant dedication to decentralization and community interaction. Users will actively contribute to the game’s development by creating personalized content, including unique avatars, clothing, accessories, and experiences. The recent announcement of a joint partnership between MNA, Chromia, and the game-ready interoperable asset platform RSTLSS reinforces this focus on user-generated content (UGC).
“We are excited to embark on this journey with our players as we enter Beta Season 1,” commented My Neighbor Alice CPO Riccardo Sibani. “This roadmap represents our dedication to building a game that not only entertains but also empowers users to shape the virtual world they inhabit.”
The introduction of new game mechanics, including player-to-player trading and collaborative features, highlights the team’s goal of building upon the core gameplay to emerge as a social platform for creativity, collaboration, and community building.
As the underlying platform powering My Neighbor Alice, Chromia plays a critical role in supporting the game’s ambitious roadmap. Leveraging Chromia’s relational blockchain infrastructure, My Neighbor Alice is able to deliver secure, transparent, and scalable gameplay experiences while ensuring the integrity of in-game transactions and interactions.
“As the flagship game built on our platform, My Neighbor Alice is demonstrating that it is possible to deliver a feature-packed product that is 100% on-chain and does not rely on centralized servers to store game or user data,” said Chromia co-founder Alex Mizrahi.
Following the release of the new roadmap, the project will co-host the NFTVerse event in Paris on February 23rd alongside several leaders in Web3 gaming, including The Sandbox and Animoca Brands. Additionally, a special Twitter/X Spaces event is scheduled for Wednesday, February 22nd at 11:30 AM CEST, offering insights from Riccardo Sibani and Game Director Steve Haßenpflug.

Crypto marketing and media relations are pivotal elements in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry, shaping public perception and driving adoption. As a novel and rapidly evolving sector, the role of effective marketing and strategic media relations cannot be overstated.
Importance
Crypto marketing and media relations are crucial for several reasons. First, they help in building awareness and educating the public about cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. Given the complexity and novelty of these topics, clear and accessible information is essential for fostering understanding and trust among potential users. Second, effective marketing and media strategies can differentiate a project within the crowded and competitive crypto space, attracting investors, users, and partnerships. Finally, positive media coverage and strategic marketing efforts can bolster the legitimacy and acceptance of cryptocurrencies, encouraging wider adoption.
Strategies Employed
The strategies used in crypto marketing and media relations are diverse and innovative, reflecting the industry’s digital and decentralized nature. Social media marketing, through platforms like Twitter, Reddit, and Telegram, plays a significant role. These platforms facilitate direct engagement with the community, real-time updates, and viral marketing campaigns. Influencer marketing is another strategy, where projects collaborate with influential figures within the crypto space to gain visibility and credibility.
Content marketing, including blogs, whitepapers, and video content, is used to educate the audience about the technology, use cases, and benefits of a project. Additionally, search engine optimization (SEO) ensures that this content reaches its intended audience. Public relations (PR) efforts, including crypto PRs and interviews with reputable crypto and financial publications, further extend the reach and enhance the credibility of projects.
Challenges Faced
Despite the opportunities, crypto marketing and media relations face several challenges. The regulatory landscape is a significant hurdle, with varying and sometimes unclear regulations regarding crypto advertising and promotion across different jurisdictions. This complexity can hinder marketing efforts and expose projects to legal risks.
Misinformation and scams are prevalent in the crypto space, leading to skepticism among the public and media. Overcoming this skepticism requires consistent and transparent communication, which can be resource-intensive. Additionally, the fast-paced nature of the crypto market means that marketing and media strategies must be agile and adaptable to remain effective.
Future Outlook
Looking forward, the importance of crypto marketing and media relations is only set to increase as the industry matures. As regulatory frameworks around the world become more defined, there will be clearer guidelines for marketing and promotional activities, potentially opening new avenues for reaching wider audiences.
Technological advancements, such as the integration of artificial intelligence in personalized marketing and the use of blockchain for transparent and verifiable marketing analytics, could offer new tools for marketers. Moreover, as the industry continues to evolve, there will be a growing need for educational content and sophisticated marketing strategies to address the increasingly diverse audience of crypto users.
Crypto marketing and media relations are essential components of the blockchain and cryptocurrency ecosystem. Through innovative strategies and effective communication, they build awareness, educate the public, and foster adoption. Despite the challenges, the future offers promising opportunities for more sophisticated and impactful marketing efforts. As the industry continues to grow and evolve, the role of marketing and media relations will undoubtedly expand, playing a key role in shaping the trajectory of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.

The partnership aims to empower users of the Chromia ecosystem Web3 games like ‘My Neighbor Alice’ to create and leverage in-game wearable digital assets.
Chromia announces its strategic partnership with RSTLSS, a platform that streamlines the creation of digital wearables and accessories. The news, accompanied by a video release from RSTLSS, garnered attention across various channels associated with both projects. This partnership signifies a significant step in expanding the possibilities of the on-chain digital worlds of Chromia games like ‘My Neighbor Alice.’
Chromia is a Layer-1 relational blockchain platform that uses a modular framework to enable the creation of complex, fully on-chain decentralized applications (dapps). With a mainnet launch scheduled in 2024, Chromia’s ecosystem has extended across several verticals, including gaming, real-world assets, digital collectibles, sports, and fashion.
RSTLSS emerges as a next-gen digital wearables enterprise, offering a user-friendly platform for the creation and monetization of game-ready accessories, including clothing, skins, and weapons. It utilizes 3D templates, patterns, textures, and artwork, which enable users to craft and mint their creations as NFTs that can be used across multiple games and platforms.
The partnership between Chromia and RSTLSS is driven by their shared goal of enhancing accessibility within the blockchain space. Chromia simplifies decentralized applications, while RSTLSS emphasizes accessibility by providing design tools that require no coding. RSTLSS will integrate with My Neighbor Alice, Chromia’s flagship game, enriching the gaming experience by giving players the opportunity to create and use their own digital assets.
Commenting on the partnership, RSTLSS Founder Charli Cohen said, “The ethos of Web3 and decentralization are very important to me, and Chromia’s approach reflects those ideas. Digital assets are all about ownership and putting power in the hands of the users. Chromia’s fully on-chain dapps align with this idea, and we are excited to work with them.”
Chromia Co-Founder Henrik Hjelte added, “We are thrilled to collaborate with RSTLSS. Their technology empowers users to envision and design their creations while retaining control over their work. This aligns perfectly with Chromia’s presence in both gaming and fashion, and I am confident that this partnership will bring significant value to our ecosystem.”
In preparation for an eventful 2024, both companies are diligently gearing up for significant milestones. RSTLSS is on track to launch the beta version of their User-Generated Content (UGC) platform in March, while Chromia anticipates the launch of their mainnet later this year. The projects will begin technical collaboration in the forthcoming months, laying the groundwork for their shared vision of innovation and progress.

Introducing Kadena SpireKey, a human-friendly and secure way to seamlessly interact with any application by removing complex signing processes.
Kadena Spirekey
“Unlike complex Web3 wallets today where you have to remember every wallet you’ve ever created, Kadena’s SpireKey uses WebAuthn, a technology that has been developed by Google and Apple over the last 20 years, to help anyone securely digital assets directly on your phone or computer. It’s as easy as receiving a prompt on your mobile device and providing a fingerprint as a signature. Even that uncle who asks you about crypto every family holiday dinner can do it. With Kadena, we’ve made using applications accessible to everyone, no matter if you’re an experienced “degen” or using blockchain for the first time,” said Kadena CMO, Mike Herron.
SpireKey creates a seamless interaction between humans and technology, providing a Web2 experience with Web3 innovation. With SpireKey, users can sign transactions and Web3 applications, just like how it works on Apple Pay or Google Pay. However, it can be done directly on the user’s device without opening multiple windows or copying and pasting keypairs, which eliminates potential vulnerabilities seen in traditional wallets.
Added Security with Built-in Multi-sig
“Kadena’s built-in multi-sig signing enables an additional layer of security for SpireKey that only we can provide through our original language, Pact. With multi-sig, SpireKey allows for multiple signatures to be required for certain transaction types. For example, if you want to send over $10,000, you can set up parameters to require signatures from three different devices – your phone, laptop, and cold storage wallet. The multi-sig feature reduces the risk of compromised accounts because a bad actor would need access to three devices. It mitigates the risk of another attack vector, and adds to the overall security,” said Stuart Popejoy, Kadena Co-Founder and CEO.
SpireKey displays how Kadena thinks about the level of usability that Web3 technology should be at. At its core, SpireKey connects humans to interact with the blockchain, and with one another. SpireKey believes that showing working examples will inspire all humans alike to see how Spirekey can impact the rest of the world beyond Web3.
About Kadena
Kadena is a blockchain technology protocol that was founded in 2017 by Stuart Popejoy and Will Martino. Kadena is the industry’s only scalable Layer-1 Proof of Work (PoW) blockchain. This scalability enables Kadena to deliver infrastructure-grade performance for any blockchain project. Along with Kadena own smart contract language Pact, Kadena’s platform provides the world with the tools and environment to turn ideas and ambitions into reality. Founded by Stuart Popejoy and William Martino, who created JP Morgan’s first blockchain and led the SEC’s Crypto Committee, Kadena aims to allow for true blockchain mass adoption.

Cryptocurrency liquidity is the lifeblood of efficient trading, fair price discovery, and the overall health and growth of the crypto market. However, not all digital assets are as liquid as popular Bitcoin. How is it possible to generate sufficient trading volume and liquidity for less popular assets? The answer is crypto market making. This article will explain who market makers are and how they work.Who is a Market Maker?
When you trade on a crypto exchange, you don’t reflect on who is there on the other side of the order. But what if there is no organic counterparty for your order? What if no one is willing to buy your tokens at your desired price? In this case, you have two options:
- on a low-liquidity market, you have to wait long until there is someone ready to execute your order;
- on high-liquidity markets, your order will be executed immediately, despite the market conditions.
Market makers stand behind quick and efficient order execution at a fair price. They are financial entities, specialized companies, or high-frequency traders that cooperate with a market-maker trading platform to supply liquidity to its markets.
A market maker is a market participant who places orders on buying and selling assets, and this order stays in an order book until someone wants to match it. So, a market maker stands always ready to fulfill emerging orders (from other traders) on a crypto exchange.
Here is what market makers do:
- Provide continuous liquidity by placing buy and sell orders.
- Narrow the bid-ask spread by offering competitive buy and sell prices.
- Facilitate the formation of fair and accurate market prices.
- Enable large transactions by absorbing large orders without significantly impacting the market price.
- Stabilize market volatility by dampening price fluctuations and creating a more stable market environment.
- Support new tokens, helping to kickstart trading activity and market interest.
Market Maker Strategies
Here are the most common cryptocurrency trading strategies that market makers use:
- Cross-exchange liquidity mirroring
- Two-legged trading
- Market making without hedge
- Delta neutral market making
- Grid trading.
Let’s drill down on a two-legged trading strategy. The idea of this strategy is to buy and sell tokens simultaneously. It involves opening two limit orders with different prices. A buy order price is set lower than the current market price, and a sell order price is higher than the market price. When these two orders are executed, a market maker profits from their price difference.
Market makers are crucial in providing liquidity and stability to the cryptocurrency market. Their strategies and techniques help to create a favorable trading environment for other market participants.

Wormhole data shows nearly $310 million in assets bridged from Ethereum to Sui over the last month — more than all other blockchains combined.
Sui, a Layer 1 blockchain that has experienced explosive growth since its inception nine months ago, is seeing a substantial migration of funds from Ethereum to the Sui ecosystem, with nearly $310 million worth of assets flowing through the Wormhole Portal in the past 30 days. The data is issued by wormholescan.io, which tracks the flow of funds through Wormhole, one of the most important cross-chain bridges for wrapped tokens and NFTs, and the one most used on the preeminent decentralized exchange, Uniswap.
As the Sui ecosystem has been gaining remarkable traction during the past month – surpassing $600M in Total Value Locked and entering the top 10 of DeFi ecosystems – the data from Wormhole shows that the origin of a lot of these funds is Ethereum. Of the almost $500M worth of funds that were bridged from Ethereum through Wormhole in the last 30 days, over 64% of it was moved to Sui — more than all of the funds sent to Solana, Arbitrum, Polygon, and every other chain combined.
According to the Wormhole data, most of these bridged assets are stablecoins, with USDC and USDT bridged to Sui accounting for $134M and $78M of the volume respectively.
source: wormholescan.io
“The prevalence of users migrating assets to Sui demonstrates a growing belief in the strength of Sui’s underpinning technology and the community of builders, developers, and enthusiasts that power the ecosystem,” said Greg Siourounis, Managing Director at the Sui Foundation. “The Sui community looks forward to continuing to push the boundaries of DeFi and offering an industry-defining experience for users and builders alike.”
source: Sui Internal Data
Also notable in the context of Sui’s emergence in DeFi, Sui’s internal data reflects the acceleration of the growth in bridged stablecoins USDC and USDT to the Sui ecosystem that began in Q4 of 2023. TVL of USDC and USDT went from hovering below $50M to spiking well beyond $250M, a rise of over 400% in less than five months.
In recent months, in addition to the empirical data, there is also a qualitative trend that points to Sui becoming a primary hub of DeFi’s excitement and activity — top projects choosing to build on Sui. In December 2023, two leading projects that began on other protocols chose Sui for expansion or complete migration.
Solend, which remains the top lending protocol on Solana at nearly $180M in TVL, has devoted a full team to launching a new lending protocol on Sui that will be called Suilend. Likewise, Bluefin, a decentralized derivatives exchange that had already achieved over $1B in transaction volume on its v1 application on Arbitrum, shuttered its initial implementation to focus entirely on the newest version built on Sui, reaching $2.3B in volume in its first four months on the network. Both projects cited the performance capabilities of Sui in explaining their moves.
More recently, Sui announced two more important steps in turning Sui into the DeFi platform of choice for builders, developers, and their users. First, together with Ondo Finance—the third-largest platform bringing tokenized real-world assets onto public blockchains, Sui announced the launch of interest-bearing stablecoin substitutes on Sui. Just as important, a new partnership with Banxa, a leading payments infrastructure provider for the crypto-compatible economy, will enable on and off-ramps via the Banxa platform. Combined, these steps will broaden the appeal of the Sui platform to include a far wider audience.
