DeFi Hotspots
1. OKX Ventures announces investment in the liquid staking protocol Haedal built on Sui
On January 3, OKX Ventures announced a strategic investment in the liquid staking protocol Haedal based on Sui. Haedal focuses on providing users with efficient liquid staking infrastructure, allowing users to stake SUI to Validators for consensus rewards while unlocking the potential of liquid staking tokens (LST) for participation in the DeFi ecosystem. As an important component of the Sui blockchain, Haedal not only helps protect network security but also promotes sustainable governance and decentralization. Its core goal is to provide a one-click DeFi yield maximization solution for Sui ecosystem users by simplifying yield products and lowering the entry barrier, in anticipation of the upcoming wave of large-scale applications on the Sui network and the cross-border needs of Web2 users. In the future, Haedal plans to launch a series of new products and modules to create more earning opportunities for users and further expand the possibilities of the Sui ecosystem.

On January 3, the DeSci protocol BIO Protocol announced on platform X that the transfer function of the BIO token has been enabled, currently only available on the Ethereum mainnet. Any tokens on other blockchains are scams.
3. Anon Cast founder launches fully anonymous social platform Anon World on Farcaster
On January 3, according to The Block, blockchain developer Kartik Patel launched Anon World, a social platform based on Farcaster that focuses on anonymous interactions. Anon World is built on the Farcaster protocol, extending Patel's earlier project Anoncast, introducing a Reddit-like interface that facilitates community-driven discussions while maintaining user anonymity. The core of the platform's architecture is the mandatory use of zero-knowledge proof (ZK)-based credentials, which are stored locally in the user's browser without collecting any metadata or wallet information. This means that users must hold specific ERC20 tokens to post. The platform initially supports ERC20 tokens on the Base network, but plans to expand support for other blockchain networks and credential types.
