Another important update from Abu Dhabi🚀

ADGM has officially approved the use of USDT for licensed institutional companies. This means payments, transfers, custody services and lending with USDT are now allowed in Abu Dhabi across eight blockchains: Aptos, Celo, Cosmos, Kaia, Near, Polkadot, Tezos, TON, and TRON.

It pushes access to the world’s leading stablecoin even further and helps Abu Dhabi grow its role in the digital asset space.

Want your own blockchain? Here’s the bill 💸

Everyone loves the idea of an app-chain: zero fees, full control, your own economy. It sounds great until you realize a chain is a product inside your product.

In reality, most teams don’t need one. An app-chain only makes sense when:
▪️you have massive traffic and constant on-chain actions
▪️your economy breaks under L1/L2 fees
▪️your rules don’t fit existing networks
▪️your team can run infrastructure 24/7

But in practice, many teams reach for an app-chain even when their needs are easily covered by a standard, ready-made network.

Here’s what ends up on the bill:
🔹validators, DevOps, monitoring, upgrades
🔹dedicated RPC, data storage, security
🔹bridges, liquidity, market-making
🔹economic audits (and another audit once the model cracks under load)

An app-chain isn’t an add-on, but a mini L1 you need to run every single day.

So why do game studios still go for it? Because sometimes it’s the only way to give players zero fees, keep the economy stable, stay independent from global network spikes, and avoid designing gameplay around someone else’s limits.

But you pay for that. Not with money, but with responsibility. When the chain goes down, the game goes down. And when the token slips, the entire balance collapses.

🎯 So here’s the insight:

What looks like freedom on paper becomes responsibility the moment it goes live. It unlocks huge upside only for teams that know exactly why they need it and are ready to support it every day.

🌎 People in crowdlending have always been told one thing: “If you want to operate globally, be ready for years of bureaucracy.”

We didn’t wait for that and chose a different path.

In our new case study, we explain how we helped a local fintech transform into an ecosystem where investors and businesses from different countries can meet directly.

No separate license for each country. And no regulatory pauses and barriers.

The platform launched in five jurisdictions at the same time and became part of the real economy instead of a crypto experiment.

Read the full story here.

🧐 Remember the hype around Notcoin and Hamster Kombat? After those projects took off, a flood of clones appeared with the same copy-paste gameplay mechanics. None of them really broke through.

It may seem like the gameplay pulls the user in. But the real magic happens in onboarding.

Telegram, with its built-in wallet and Mini Apps, has pushed the crypto entry barrier almost to zero. No need to install an app, create a wallet, or buy gas.

And this is what changes the game: nothing stands between the user and the product.

But launching on Telegram with an altcoin doesn’t guarantee instant users or revenue.

🪙 TON offers more than the blockchain layer.

It gives access to a distribution channel reaching millions.

TON alone won’t make your game go viral. It brings traffic. Your job is to build an economy that retains and monetizes that traffic. The focus shifts. The question is no longer “which network should I choose?” but “are you ready to create value where the user already is?”

🤝 And that’s where we come in. We design tokenomics that can handle any level of traffic and stay stable under load.

🪙 How do you choose a blockchain for DeFi that won’t collapse the moment the market swings?

When things are stable, founders look at the usual checklist: transaction speed, fees, marketing. And that’s exactly where the trap is.

DeFi is tested in shaking markets, not in quiet ones.

If the network fails under pressure, the project will fail too. This is why the real filter is an ecosystem that already went through stress and managed to stay functional.

But why do the strongest lending protocols end up on Ethereum L2?

0⃣ Ethereum has the deepest liquidity. It lets collateral be liquidated quickly and helps losses get absorbed without a chain reaction.
0⃣ L2 solutions rely on oracles that proved their reliability during extreme volatility, including the crashes of 2020.
0⃣ Native USDC acts as a stabilizing force when panic starts.

So we have a network that remains functional not only in prosperous periods. It stays stable under pressure and has already survived cross-liquidations, high volatility, and user mistakes.

That’s why every mechanism matters. The protocol needs clear stabilization logic, defined liquidation responsibilities, and the right performance metrics.

➡️ This is where the difference becomes clear: some protocols can handle the market, others eventually fail.

Ethereum gives projects the base they need to grow. And soon we’ll see who used that advantage well.

What does a “deflationary token model” even mean? No, seriously🧐

People love throwing this term around, but let’s rewind for a second. Inflation simply means an increase in something. Even physicists don’t say the universe is “expanding” anymore. They say it’s experiencing inflation.

In web2 economics, inflation usually refers to rising prices. It feels like prices go up because of inflation… but in reality they rise because the money supply expands, which devalues the currency.

There’s a simple equation for this: MV = PY

It shows the balance between all goods produced and all money circulating in the system. If you have 100 units of money and 100 units worth of goods, that’s your base. If money supply grows to 110 while goods stay at 100, you get roughly 10% inflation. Producers raise prices because demand increases and supply doesn’t. And the opposite works too.

Now jump into crypto.

❓Most people don’t understand what deflation means, because no one answers a basic question: What is a token? A currency or a product?

And deflation works very differently depending on which one it is. It often feels like burning tokens should make them more valuable. But think about this: the world burns oil every single day… and its price still falls.

So what does deflation really mean in web3?🤨

Christmas is the season of wishes 🎄

So here are a few warm ones from us:

✨ May you always have people around who truly believe in your ideas and support you in every new beginning.
🌟 May these holiday days add a little more warmth and meaning to everything you’re building.
⚡️And may the market bring you a few pleasant surprises, Bitcoin included 😉

Web3 lives thanks to the people who believe in it.

❤️ And we’re grateful to be shaping this space with you.

Merry Christmas! And let today give you a small, bright moment that lasts 🎁

🔍 Let’s keep going with deflation and look at one simple case: your token acts like a product.

If that’s true, inflation works in your favor. When inflation rises, goods get more expensive, and your token follows the same pattern.

Here’s how it's supposed to work:
🔹people buy your token with USDT
🔹the more USDT shows up in the network, the higher its inflation
🔹the higher the inflation, the higher the price you can sell your token for

Just look at the logic: more USDT in the network means more liquidity, and that liquidity should, in theory, push demand toward your token. And in that setup you can raise the price and still expect a buyer.

But reality cuts in fast.

That USDT gets diluted across millions of tokens long before it reaches yours. And this leads to the key takeaway:

when a token behaves like a product, what matters isn't inflation or deflation. It’s demand. Because no demand means no price. End of story.
