Strategic Bitcoin Reserves (SBR): A Wake-Up Call for Nations, Protocols & Network States • Bitcoin is now a $1T+ asset, with over $110B held in ETFs, cementing its role as a global store of value. • Nation-states like El Salvador, Brazil, Russia, and Japan are exploring or already adopting Strategic Bitcoin Reserves (SBRs) to strengthen economic resilience. • Corporates led by MicroStrategy and Michael Saylor have proven SBRs work. Ironically, protocols and L1s/L2s are lagging behind, despite being the innovators of crypto. Why Protocols Should Care • L1s are the closest thing to “network states.” So why let governments and corporations front-run them? • Holding BTC in treasury outperforms stablecoins in bull markets and native tokens in bear markets. • BTC in treasury makes BTC Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) and wrapped BTC on-chain more compelling, enhancing their own DeFi ecosystems.

How to Use Bitflow DEX Aggregator on Stacks @Bitflow_Finance finds you the best swap rates across all major DEXs on Stacks; ALEX, Velar, Arkadiko, etc. No need to jump between tabs or do the math yourself. It handles it all. How to Use: 1. Get a Stacks Wallet (Leather, Xverse, or OKX Web3). 2. Go to [app.bitflow.finance] and connect your wallet. 3. Head to the "Swap" tab. 4. Pick the tokens you want to trade (Token A ➝ Token B). 5. Enter the amount (leave some $STX for gas). 6. Bitflow auto-selects the best route + rate (multi-hop if needed). 7. Hit “Swap” → Confirm in wallet. 8. Done. Your tokens will show up after confirmation (usually 10–30 min, faster post-Nakamoto upgrade). Why Bitflow? • Best rates, auto-selected • Aggregated liquidity across DEXs • One-click experience • Transparent routes you can actually see Perfect for both DeFi pros and beginners who just want to swap without the headache

Good sentiment’s clearly circling some familiar names. $BNB's holding the top spot right now, 35.36K mentions, that's a lot of noise. $XRP and Ludio aren't far behind either, with 26.84K and 21.35K respectively. Coinbase, Base, and even $PEPE (yep, still going strong) are all in the mix too. $SUI, $BTC, $TRX, $NATIX, all seeing decent traction. Nothing too wild, but definitely worth watching. Some of these names pop up often, but the vibe here? It's unusually positive across the board. And beyond this heatmap, there's another wave brewing. Projects like Kaito, Ava, Humanity, LayerEdge... they’re all nudging their way into conversations. Slowly, maybe even subtly, but it's happening. $TAO, $Solace, Mitosis, OpNet, not massive spikes yet, but some clear signs of upward momentum. Even OpenLedger, Union, SatLayer, Soul Protocol, TAC Build, I mean, they’re not quite in the spotlight yet, but you can feel them pushing.

I have continued to keep an eye on Satlayer lately, not obsessively, but enough to notice the slow burn. It’s one of those projects that doesn’t shout, doesn’t force its way into every conversation… and maybe that’s part of the appeal. At first glance, @satlayer kind of slips under the radar. It’s easy to miss unless you’re paying attention to the broader trend around Bitcoin programmability. But when you sit with it for a bit, the picture starts to unfold: Bitcoin-native infrastructure, but with a focus on modularity and composability that feels, I don’t know, unusually pragmatic? It’s not trying to reinvent Bitcoin. It’s trying to extend it. That distinction matters more than people think. The core idea, leveraging Bitcoin's security while enabling more flexible and expressive systems on top of it, feels like the kind of evolution that Bitcoin has always resisted

What is Somnia? Somnia is a high-speed EVM Layer 1 (300k+ TPS) built to unify the fragmented worlds of metaverses, NFTs, games, and social platforms, creating a fully on-chain, open Virtual Society. Right now, virtual worlds are siloed and closed off. Creators are stuck, users are split across ecosystems, and NFTs have limited utility. Somnia fixes that with: • Interoperability protocols that let assets, avatars, and experiences move freely across different chains and worlds • Tools for creators to build remixable, portable content and even upgrade existing NFTs • Incentives for collaboration, creators earn when others use or build on their work • Scalability to support millions of users at once, affordably and quickly It’s backed by partnerships with Improbable and MSquared, the team behind massive metaverse events like MLB virtual games and K-pop concerts. The goal? To turn the Virtual Society from a dream into reality, open, creator-powered, and fully composable.

Why We Started Caldera Web3 devs want to build ambitious apps, but today’s blockchains are slow, congested, and limiting. Ethereum processes as few instructions per second as a 1970s computer, which just… doesn’t cut it. @Calderaxyz started with gaming in mind but quickly realized every dApp suffers from the same core issue: shared, overcrowded infrastructure. So we built Caldera, a rollup-as-a-service platform that makes it dead simple to launch high-performance, customizable rollups. Think dedicated chains for each app, just like web apps use their own servers. With Caldera, projects like Curio are building advanced game logic (like in-game treaties) that would be impossible on an L1. Their custom chain handles massive gas throughput with sub-second latency. The future of web3 needs app-specific performance, and Caldera is making it happen.

Meet Skate: The Universal Application Layer Skate is a game-changing universal application layer that lets apps run across thousands of chains, with one unified state. Instead of building separate versions for every chain (and dealing with the mess of fragmented liquidity, clunky UX, and MEV issues), developers can now deploy once on Skate and reach all networks. Built on the OP Stack and powered by EigenLayer for fast finality, Skate uses a hub-and-spoke model and an “intent-based” system to execute actions in real time across chains. This tackles the core issue in Web3, application state fragmentation, by introducing a Universal Application Scope that makes truly multichain apps possible. Whether it's DeFi, NFTs, gaming, or SocialFi, Skate makes cross-chain interaction seamless. Backed by major players like EigenLayer, Polygon, and Mantle, and built by the team behind Range Protocol, Skate is aiming to be the missing link for scaling Web3 apps.
