From Earning Points to Persistence—My Story Starting from Binance
Hello everyone, I want to share my experience of getting into Web3 starting from Binance. Thank you for reading, you might find it familiar, or maybe this is you right now.
My first encounter with cryptocurrency started with Binance. At first, I only knew how to earn Binance Alpha points, just like many friends in the square. When earning points, I often got caught, feeling both angry and amused. During that time, I was more exploring, trying, making mistakes, and slowly getting better. Now, I have also become a loyal supporter of Binance.
To be honest, I have my own views on the current Binance Alpha: if you keep getting caught while earning points, perhaps the 4x token is not suitable for you, for example
In Web3, smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApp) are not opposing but rather complementary. 🛠️ Smart contracts are responsible for the unbreakable core logic, such as token standards, automated hosting, or on-chain registries; dApps provide user-friendly interfaces and complex interactions. The strongest projects are a combination of both: secure, decentralized, easy to use, and efficient. 💡 Plasma is a typical example—zero-fee dollar transfers, sub-second confirmations, and high throughput provide a solid underlying foundation for stablecoin dApps. Future high-performance financial applications will require specialized blockchains like Plasma to support the sustainable operation of smart contracts and dApps. @Plasma $XPL #plasma
Plasma: Enabling Smart Contracts and dApps to Operate Rapidly in Stablecoin Payments
In the Web3 world, smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) are the driving force behind the explosion of DeFi. $Plasma is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain designed for stablecoin payments that perfectly combines the two. It provides developers and users with infrastructure that is both secure and efficient, allowing stablecoins and other financial dApps to operate smoothly like traditional internet applications. Smart contracts are the core engine of Plasma, executing logic on-chain automatically, immutably, and without trust. Whether it's token issuance, automated custody, or on-chain registries, smart contracts can provide solid backend support. dApps act as a bridge for users to interact with these contracts—through intuitive interfaces, users can complete transactions, payments, and lending operations without needing to deeply understand the underlying technology. Plasma maximizes the synergy between smart contracts and dApps, ensuring transactions are secure, fast, and free of fees.
You should know that the Zama project has already sold 10% of its tokens for $320 million in Dutch auctions and Binance pre-sales. Adding the previous financing of $130 million, the actual financing has reached $450 million. Based on the previous $130 million financing valuation of $1 billion, the current valuation must exceed $3.5 billion.
There aren't many projects that hold $450 million in cash flow! Moreover, @Zama Protocol is the leader in the privacy track, and it will definitely reach this market value in the first half of this year.
Data and privacy will certainly improve in the future

Your Personal Data Bank: It's time to 'take back power' from WeChat and Alipay
Do you ever feel this sense of powerlessness? You mention 'wanting to travel' in a WeChat chat, and the next moment, Douyin pushes you flight ticket ads; after buying medicine on Alipay, it feels like the entire world of health insurance is looking for you. Our data is like tap water, freely accessed by various apps, building their commercial skyscrapers, while we can't even touch a faucet. It's time to change our mindset: If data is the oil of the new era, why can't we be the 'well' owners ourselves? @Walrus Agreements like this, combined with blockchain technology, are transforming the concept of a 'personal data bank' into a prototype that can be built. $WAL #walrus
Web3 New Track: No longer competing on speed, the era of focusing on intelligence and security has arrived.
🔥 Stop competing on TPS! It’s not about speed, it’s about intelligence! In the past few years, everyone has been competing for fast block times⚡, low transaction fees💰, and high throughput📈. Every chain is fighting for 'who is faster, who is cheaper, who has higher TPS', as if having outstanding metrics is enough to conquer the world. But the reality is that mainstream chains are fast enough now, execution capability has become standard, and the moat has disappeared. Speed can no longer determine who wins and who loses. Vanar directly switches tracks: no longer focusing on faster chains, but on the intelligent layer of Web3🧠. The future users are not just humans👤, but also AI agents. They do not just end with a click; they run continuously, requiring memory📚, context🔗, reasoning🧐, and the ability to explain why they made a certain decision💡.
Dusk Joins Forces with 21X to Officially Enter a New Era of Compliant Digital Capital Markets
On April 17, 2025, Dusk officially announced its participation as a launch trading partner of 21X, which means Dusk's assets can be directly connected to 21X's regulated market infrastructure. This is an important milestone that not only highlights Dusk's strength in enterprise-level financial blockchain but also releases a strong signal for on-chain applications in the RWA (real-world assets) sector. So, what does this collaboration specifically mean? In simple terms, Dusk's asset flows can enter the compliant digital capital market through the 21X platform, from stablecoin treasury investments to tokenized money market funds, all operations are completed transparently and securely on-chain. 21X is the first platform in Europe to obtain DLT-TSS licensing, focusing on the issuance and trading of tokenized stocks, funds, bonds, and other debt instruments, while Dusk provides privacy smart contracts, zero-knowledge compliance mechanisms, and enterprise-level settlement capabilities. The combination of the two truly connects real-world finance with blockchain technology.

Don't roll TPS anymore. In the next bull market, it's not about speed, it's about "intelligence". To be blunt: still competing on who is faster and cheaper feels a bit like the narrative from the last round. In the end, everyone in L1 is fast enough and cheap enough—execution capability has become standard, not a moat. Vanar is directly changing the strategy this time: Instead of creating a "faster chain", it is building the intelligence layer of Web3. Because the true users of the future may not be humans, but AI agents. An agent does not end after pressing a button once; it needs: to remember context, to continuously reason, to execute automatically, and to explain why it does what it does. Currently, most so-called AI chains essentially mean: AI runs off-chain, memories are in a centralized database, reasoning happens in a black box API, and the chain is just a settlement layer. It can demo, but it's hard to scale, not to mention compliance and auditing. Vanar's direction is to integrate "memory + reasoning + automation" directly into the protocol layer. Let the chain evolve from "programmable" to "understandable". If this direction is successful, the valuable asset in the future may not be TPS, but who controls the underlying entry to intelligence.
#加密市场回调 💡 Why might now be the most dangerous time to increase your Bitcoin holdings? (Rational Analysis) Don’t rush to criticize the clickbait; what I’m saying is "dangerous," not "you can’t buy." 🔍 Three dangerous signals: Your social circle suddenly starts showing "hundred times coins" screenshots Even the convenience store owner downstairs is discussing blockchain You start to feel "this time is different" and want to go all in What are smart people doing at this time? ✅ Building positions in batches (Dollar Cost Averaging), never all in ✅ Only allocating 5-10% of total assets, or even less ✅ Learning about wallet security, instead of just watching prices The truth is: Bitcoin's cycle swings like a pendulum between "being forgotten" and "public frenzy." Right now, it clearly leans towards the latter. Remember this iron rule: when even the vegetable-selling aunt knows when to buy, you might need to be cautious; but when everyone claims it’s a scam, maybe that’s when the golden opportunity arises.
Only at the end do you realize, It's not the technology that loses in the crypto world, It's the energy, the emotions, and the fate of watching the market every day 🫠 The more groups you join, the more unstable the returns; The more often you look at the news, the easier it is to make impulsive decisions. Those who can truly survive several rounds, Are not the ones with the most information, But the ones with the least noise. Not chasing every K, Not engaging in every narrative, Not being led by FOMO. The market has movement every day, Whether your account can survive,

#plasma $XPL 🔥 Just experienced the latest ecological dynamics of @Plasma , and I feel that Plasma really has the potential to become a significant force in stablecoin payment infrastructure! Plasma is a Layer-1 public chain designed for stablecoin payments and high-frequency trading. It supports zero-fee USDT transfers, EVM compatibility, and high TPS performance, which are tremendous advantages for daily payments and DeFi applications.
XPL is not only the native token of the Plasma network but also a key asset for paying transaction fees, validator staking, and network governance, with a total supply of 10 billion tokens, and the mainnet is already live on major exchanges like Binance.
The design of Plasma allows developers to deploy smart contracts on-chain using familiar tools like MetaMask and Hardhat, and enhances user experience through custom gas token features. Looking forward to more dApps in the ecosystem launching, pushing global stablecoin adoption into a new phase!🚀
