Looking for Alpha——A comprehensive interpretation of APT ecological data and popular projects
Uncle is here. Why should I pay attention to the APT ecosystem? Because I think that before others enter on a large scale, early layout can seize the opportunity. At present, the APT ecosystem has great advantages in development potential and user growth, and it is worth paying attention to and participating in the early stage. Ok, no more nonsense, start writing. 1. APT Data Analysis 1. Price Peak in early 2023: APT reached a peak close to $18 in early 2023, after which the price gradually fell.
Trough in the second half of 2023: Prices continue to decline in the second half of 2023, approaching a low point at the end of the year.

"Mint a Zora NFT for self-defense" — Is this phrase familiar to everyone? As an innovative NFT platform, Zora has attracted many users and developers, completing 72 million transactions on-chain in a short period, with active addresses reaching 760,000. Today, let's discuss Zora's possible airdrop rules and the potential value of the airdrop, and delve deeper with uncle.

SUI liquidation threshold price and quantitative risk analysis for the Suilend-Scallop looping lending
A previous article introduced how to participate in the Suilend project for the December TGE, with the main strategy being: Deposit USDT on Suilend — Borrow SUI on Suilend — Stake SUI to Scallop and lend USDC — Deposit borrowed USDC into Suilend.
👉Cost: 1500 USD 👉Expected returns: Potential interest of 16% annually + 37,577 Suilend points 👉Risk: Borrowing SUI on the Suilend platform and staking it on the Scallop platform to lend USDC, if the SUI price drops, the collateral value on Scallop will decrease, triggering the liquidation risk on Scallop. Meanwhile, since SUI is my loan on Suilend, a drop in the SUI price will also increase my liquidation risk on the Suilend platform. Thus, any significant volatility in the SUI price could lead to simultaneous closeness to liquidation on both sides.
The SUI ecosystem is exploding faster than expected. Suilend plans to launch the token $SEND in December. In addition, Suilend will offer 2x points for the remainder of the current season, with a daily distribution of 20 million points, of which 10 million are for deposits and 10 million are for lending. Points will be earned for deposits and lending of SUI, USDC, USDT, ETH, and SOL. 1. Strategy and Logic 1. Provide USDT deposits: Deposit USDT on Suilend and enjoy a dynamic annual interest rate (APR) of 6.88%. This operation can earn deposit interest income, accumulate Suilend points on the platform, and participate in Suilend's reward distribution.
Linea Valuation Analysis: Objective Price Expectations Amid Market Cooldown
Today, Linea released the final task for LXP, after which the LXP points system will exit the stage. To better understand Linea's valuation, I will calculate Linea's fully diluted valuation (FDV) using the existing off-market prices of LXP and LXP-L, and estimate the prices that LXP and LXP-L should have under objective conditions based on current market trends. I. Existing Information LXP Off-Market Price: $0.08
LXP Total Supply: 2,442,075,152
LXP-L Off-Market Price: $0.00299
LXP-L Total Supply: 89,670,000,000
Assuming that the market capitalization of LXP and LXP-L accounts for 10% of Linea's total market capitalization, which means Linea's airdrop ratio accounts for 10%.

[Raising 38 million yuan] Huma Finance pledge odds research report
IceFrog has published a detailed tutorial on how to use Huma Finance to earn three benefits from one fish. I won’t repeat the tutorial here, but I will just briefly calculate the potential return of staking 1,000 U for 6 months. 【Calculation logic】
Step 1: Calculate the total points that can be generated by the 6-month and 3-month staking pools Based on a given pool size (e.g. 25 million USDC and 5 million USDC) and lock-up period, the total points for the 6-month and 3-month pools are calculated respectively. 👉The estimated total score is 1.408 billion points.
Step 2: Calculate the points you can earn by staking 1,000 USDC for 6 months 👉Use the official calculator to estimate the points for staking 1,000 USDC for 6 months, the result is 52,000 points.
I write Web3 project tutorials every day, busy with various tasks and interactions like a slave, but why do we shout "all in Web3" every day? What can Web3 bring us? To understand this emerging concept, we still have to start from the development history of the first two stages of the Internet - Web1 and Web2, so that we can truly understand the ins and outs of Web3 and what problems it wants to solve. 👉What is Web1? The first stage of the Internet is Web1, which mainly provides online content and information to ordinary consumers. In this stage, users can only read and obtain information, but cannot interact with the content. Web1 is very static.

[Why Grass will definitely fight back]——Uncle’s review and suggestions
Students who have participated in Xiaocao have already checked their airdrop amounts. I participated in this project relatively late, and only started to hang up in April. The total number of points on two accounts was 510,000, and the final number of airdrops was 38. Faced with such an airdrop result, I wonder how everyone feels? Is the electricity bill returned? Is the equipment depreciation fee included? Let me analyze in depth why the Grass project is an inevitable result.
[Why does Xiaocao definitely fight back?] Conclusion first: Xiaocao’s economic model and distribution method make most participants inevitably in a loss-making state
