London, UK, December 19th, 2024, Chainwire

As cryptocurrency adoption expands, so do the associated risks, including physical threats targeting crypto holders. Traditional wallets often lack safeguards to address real-world coercion scenarios. Addressing this challenge, Deus Wallet introduces a new feature: Duress Mode.

This technology, integrated into Deus’s non-custodial framework, provides an added layer of security to help safeguard cryptocurrency assets and user safety in high-risk situations.

The Issue: Crypto Security Is More Than Digital

While digital security has advanced with multi-signature wallets, biometric authentication, and hardware devices, physical security remains overlooked. Criminals have adapted their tactics, targeting crypto holders.

Considering Real-Life Examples:

2022, London: Criminals broke into a businessman’s home and extorted $1.1 million in Bitcoin at gunpoint.

2023, New York: A crypto trader was kidnapped and forced to transfer $400,000 while held captive.

2021, Bangkok: A prominent investor managing millions in crypto was ambushed by an international gang and coerced into transferring $2.7 million.

In each case, victims lacked the tools to mitigate risks under pressure. Standard wallets provide no “last line of defense” for these real-world threats.

Deus Wallet: Next-Level Protection

Deus Wallet tackles this vulnerability with its non-custodial structure and Duress Mode. This approach allows users to retain full control over their assets while incorporating an additional security measure designed to address specific risks.

Non-Custodial Goal

With Deus, private keys are stored exclusively by the user, not on any centralized server. This eliminates third-party risks such as hacking, insider theft, or regulatory overreach. In an era where centralization poses increasing threats, non-custodial wallets offer unparalleled independence and security.

Duress Mode was developed with one goal: to protect users in life-threatening situations.

The way it works:

Duress PIN Configuration: Setting a secondary PIN during wallet setup.

Under Coercion: Entering the Duress PIN instead of the regular one.

Seamless Decoy: The wallet opens a “fake” account with minimal or no funds, while users’ actual assets remain hidden.

This feature ensures that attackers see what appears to be the entire wallet balance, without ever suspecting the existence of hidden funds.

Deus Wallet is part of a growing movement to rethink cryptocurrency security. As the crypto ecosystem matures, protecting users in both digital and physical spaces is becoming more important.

The Bigger Picture:

Rising Crypto Adoption: As cryptocurrencies enter mainstream finance, the average user profile shifts from tech-savvy enthusiasts to general consumers, many of whom lack advanced security awareness.

Criminal Adaptability: Criminals exploit the pseudonymity of blockchain transactions, knowing that once assets are transferred, they’re nearly impossible to recover.

The Security Gap: While solutions like hardware wallets protect against cyber threats, tools like Duress Mode address the issue of physical security.

Deus Wallet is at the forefront of this shift, setting a new standard for protecting users and their assets.

Key Features of Deus Wallet

Non-Custodial Architecture: Full control of private keys ensures users’ funds are always theirs.

Duress Mode: A revolutionary feature to safeguard assets under physical coercion.

User-Friendly Design: Intuitive interface suitable for beginners and experts alike.

Advanced Encryption: Multi-layered security protects against cyberattacks.

Customizable Settings: Users can define access parameters and Duress Mode triggers according to their preferences.

Cross-Platform Compatibility: Available on iOS, Android.

In today’s world, digital and physical security go hand-in-hand. Deus Wallet provides a comprehensive solution, ensuring that users’ assets and personal safety are never compromised.

dTRINITY, a next-generation stablecoin liquidity protocol, has announced its mainnet debut on the Fraxtal L2 network. The platform is designed to lower interest expenses and improve yields for stablecoin users, addressing the key challenge of rising credit costs in DeFi.

At the core of dTRINITY is a protocol-native stablecoin (dUSD), which serves as the unified liquidity layer between its money markets (dLEND, an Aave v3 fork) and external liquidity pools (e.g., Curve). dUSD is backed 1:1 by an on-chain collateral reserve consisting of stablecoins such as USDC, FRAX, and DAI, as well as yieldcoins like sFRAX and sDAI. Exogenous yields from the reserve are redirected to fund ongoing interest rebates for dUSD borrowers on dLEND, based on their outstanding debts, which reduces the effective borrowing cost. This mechanism not only stimulates borrowing demand but also drives more sustainable utilization and yields for dUSD lenders.

dTRINITY is launching on Fraxtal as its genesis network in a strategic collaboration with Frax to optimize ecosystem liquidity and user incentives. Fraxtal is an EVM-equivalent rollup with a scalable smart contract platform and efficient execution environment powered by the OP stack. Users can take advantage of Fraxtal’s fast transaction speed, low gas fees, robust network security, and unique blockspace rewards, further enhancing their benefits.

In the near future, dTRINITY plans to expand to Ethereum and other emerging blockchains, strengthening cross-chain liquidity and interoperability with Fraxtal as the network scales.

Key Features of dTRINITY:

• Subsidized Interest Rate Model: dTRINITY’s innovative subsidized interest rate model lowers the equilibrium of stablecoin borrowing costs on dLEND vs. other protocols without impacting lending yields. In fact, rebates at low utilization levels could even result in negative interest rates for dUSD borrowers (i.e., borrowers could get paid to borrow).
• Liquidity Incentives: dUSD lenders and liquidity providers benefit from a combination of protocol rewards and external incentives from strategic partners (in both points and tokens) for supplying and bolstering liquidity in the ecosystem.
• Security & Risk Management: dTRINITY has successfully completed smart contract audits with three leading blockchain security firms: Halborn, Verichains, and Cyberscope. Additionally, the protocol disables rehypothecation of supplied collateral by default to minimize risk exposure. dUSD is the only borrowable asset on dLEND and it cannot be borrowed against itself.
• Strategic Partnerships: In addition to Frax, dTRINITY also plans to collaborate symbiotically with other major DeFi protocols. First, dUSD can be expanded to other lending platforms (e.g., Fraxlend, Morpho), providing their users with similar subsidy benefits. Secondly, dUSD can serve as a cheaper medium of leverage for loopers using other stablecoins/yieldcoins (e.g., Ethena, crvUSD), increasing demand for both projects. Furthermore, the dUSD reserve’s composition will be diversified over time, opening up potential partnership opportunities with more stablecoin/yieldcoin projects.

dTRINITY’s core contributors include the co-founders of Stably. The project has been in development since Q2 2024 and secured 1st place at both the ETHVietnam and Fraxtal Hackathons earlier this year. Strategically, dTRINITY is advised by the co-founders of Frax, Convex, Sky (formerly MakerDAO), Coin98, and Promontory Partners, bringing a wealth of expertise from leading stablecoin and DeFi pioneers to the protocol’s development.

Sonic Labs today announced the launch of the Sonic mainnet, an EVM-compatible layer-1 blockchain platform that offers developers attractive incentives and powerful infrastructure.

With 10,000 transactions per second (TPS), sub-second finality, and a native, decentralized gateway to Ethereum, Sonic empowers developers to build the next generation of applications on unparalleled infrastructure and liquidity.

Developed by the same team behind Fantom, Sonic and its S token deliver a significant leap forward from both Fantom and FTM. Through a one-to-one upgrade process from FTM to S, existing FTM holders can seamlessly start using Sonic.

Sonic leverages proven expertise to establish itself as a DeFi hub by revolutionizing developer incentives while providing users with smooth user experiences and access to vast amounts of liquidity.

Fee Monetization: Developers Come First

Fee Monetization (FeeM) on Sonic rewards developers with up to 90% of the network fees generated by their applications, adopting the Web2 ad-revenue strategies popularized by platforms like YouTube. While many blockchains offer limited developer incentives and primarily focus on value extraction, Sonic addresses this issue effectively through its FeeM model.

“Recently, we’ve seen many new chains launch, especially centralized layer 2s where the founders pocket all network fees. This excludes developers from the equation, forcing them to impose extra fees on users to earn revenue. FeeM addresses this by coding developer rewards directly into the chain, ensuring that network fees are shared with developers from the start.”— Sam Harcourt, Business Development Lead, Sonic Labs

Developers on the Sonic chain receive a share of network fees generated by the traffic and engagement their applications attract, offering a built-in mechanism for ongoing revenue.

Fantom to Sonic: Upgrading FTM to S

Fantom and its FTM token are officially transitioning to Sonic and the S token. Sonic Labs is facilitating the transition by offering a dedicated upgrade portal on MySonic that allows FTM holders to seamlessly upgrade their FTM to S on a one-to-one basis.

“We are proud to launch the new Sonic chain as the next evolution of Fantom, building on its impressive track record of nearly 100% uptime since 2019. Sonic is a revolutionary platform that prioritizes developers, empowering them to create applications with seamless user experiences while earning a share of network fees.”— Michael Kong, CEO, Sonic Labs

During the initial 90 days after Sonic’s mainnet launch, holders can freely swap between FTM and S using the upgrade portal. After this period, holders will only be able to upgrade from FTM to S.

Sonic Gateway: Secure, Decentralized Interoperability

With the rise of cross-chain activity, secure and trustless bridges are more crucial than ever. Traditional layer-1 and layer-2 bridging solutions often rely on centralized systems, risking billions in potential losses.

The Sonic Gateway addresses these challenges as a decentralized and trustless bridge between Ethereum and Sonic, offering:

• Security: A fail-safe ensures user funds can be recovered on Ethereum if the Gateway is down for 14 days, guaranteeing asset protection.
• Speed: Asset transfers are batched efficiently (every 10 minutes from Ethereum to Sonic and hourly in reverse). The Fast Lane feature lets users pay a small fee to bridge instantly.
• Decentralization: Operated by Sonic’s validators on both chains, the Gateway is as decentralized as Sonic itself, preventing centralized manipulation.

“To empower users with effective and trustless control of their assets, we developed the Sonic Gateway, which provides liquidity from other platforms. Powered by our own validators and secured by a fail-safe, the Gateway lets users and apps safely leverage the benefits and incentives of bringing new liquidity to Sonic.” — Bernhard Scholz, Chief Research Officer, Sonic Labs

Sonic Labs will expand the Gateway beyond Ethereum in the future, enabling direct, decentralized access to multiple blockchains’ native assets.

Sonic Airdrop: Distributing the S Token

To encourage network growth, Sonic Labs is distributing 190.5 million S tokens through an airdrop program focusing on both users and developers. The program includes two incentive structures:

• Sonic Points: Rewards end-users for early adoption, asset holding, and overall engagement.
• Sonic Gems: Rewards developers for creating applications that drive user activity and innovation. Developers can convert Gems to S and share the tokens with their users to incentivize continuous usage.

About Sonic

Sonic is an EVM layer-1 platform that offers developers attractive incentives and powerful infrastructure. The chain provides over 10,000 TPS, sub-second confirmation times, and a secure gateway to Ethereum for enhanced liquidity and asset security.

Together with Zoth’s expertise in GTM strategies for bringing tokenized traditional financial instruments on-chain, this collaboration offers asset managers and institutional investors a streamlined solution to efficiently manage their organization’s treasury while generating consistent returns.

Drawing on its deep expertise in decentralized markets and investment strategies, Singularity Finance’s tokenization framework facilitates the launch of ZTLN-P. ZTLN-P is designed to provide optimized, low-risk yields without lock-in periods to its investors. SFI’s tokenisation framework also offers robust access to regulatory compliance, adhering to the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) and the Mutual Funds Act (2021 Revision). ZTLN-P complies with global regulatory standards, offering a secure and accessible solution for investors.

Bringing TradFi-Backed Security to On-Chain Treasury Solutions

The strength of ZTLN-P lies in its asset backing. By leveraging Blackrock-managed iShares ETFs and MMFs focused on the U.S. Treasury bills, ZTLN-P delivers predictable, low-risk returns with unparalleled liquidity, making it an attractive option for investors seeking stability in the traditionally volatile DeFi yield space. 

Unlike high-risk DeFi strategies that drive volatility, ZTLN-P prioritizes safety, liquidity, and transparency, setting a new standard for institutional-grade DeFi products. This emphasis on low-risk, compliant financial instruments positions ZTLN-P as the gold standard for RWA tokens, giving institutional investors confidence that their capital is deployed in rigorously vetted strategies designed to preserve principal and generate steady yield.

“ZTLN-P is an industry-driven product that aligns institutional-grade short term investments such as Blackrock iShares Treasury Bond ETF with the efficiency and transparency of blockchain,” said Pritam Dutta, CEO of Zoth. “With Singularity Finance’s one-of-a-kind expertise, this partnership marks the beginning of a new era where DeFi is no longer a speculative market but a legitimate alternative to traditional finance.”

Mario Casiraghi, Co-founder of SingularityDAO and Singularity Finance commented:

“ZTLN Prime is a transformative step toward bridging the gap between traditional finance and decentralized finance. By combining Zoth’s expertise in tokenizing high-quality real-world assets we’re delivering an institutional-grade product that embodies safety, liquidity, and transparency for the global web3.0 ecosystem. This partnership sets a new standard for on-chain financial solutions, ensuring that institutional investors can confidently navigate the DeFi space while enjoying consistent, low-risk returns.”

Cloris Chen, CEO at Singularity Finance concluded:

“One of the core pillars of Singularity Finance is to build an ecosystem that serves as a home for RWA projects, enabled through the SFI tokenization framework. This partnership with Zoth represents an important milestone for SFI, and the launch of ZLTN Prime unlocks a new & innovative way for the global web3.0 ecosystem to manage and grow their treasury, unlocking new opportunities in the DeFi ecosystem while maintaining the highest standards of compliance and trust.”
