New York, USA — September 04, 2024 — Rocko, a new marketplace for accessing the best crypto-backed loans, has officially launched! Crypto owners can now use Rocko to quickly secure loans using their crypto assets as collateral, avoiding the need to sell their holdings. Users can access competitive rates from leading DeFi protocols — starting with Compound — and set up a loan within minutes, regardless of their level of expertise.
DeFi lending protocols like Compound and Aave offer lower interest rates and more flexible terms for crypto-backed loans than many centralized lenders. However, they are often seen as difficult to use. Rocko’s platform solves this by simplifying the borrowing process with an intuitive, step-by-step interface. Users can customize their loan terms and select which lending protocol they prefer to borrow from. Once the loan is finalized, a smart wallet is automatically created, which then interacts with the chosen DeFi protocol to fulfill the loan based on the user's instructions. Since the wallet is non-custodial, users retain full and exclusive control over their funds.

One of Rocko’s standout features is its seamless compatibility with major exchanges like Coinbase, Gemini, and Binance — no need for complex Ethereum wallets or seed phrases! Borrowers can receive their USDC loans directly into their exchange accounts, making it easier to convert it to USD for various purposes, such as real estate purchases, debt consolidation, or large purchases. Coinbase users can link their accounts to Rocko, streamlining the process even further. 

Rocko offers a comprehensive dashboard where users can manage their loans, track key metrics, borrow additional funds, make payments, and adjust their collateral. Additionally, users can set up text or email alerts to monitor collateral value and interest rates. Upon repayment, the collateral is automatically returned, along with any rewards earned from protocols like Compound.

Rocko takes security seriously by implementing industry-best practices and leveraging trusted solutions. Rocko smart wallets are fully non-custodial, meaning only users have access to any funds their wallets hold. The private key is encrypted and stored in a secure enclave provided by Turnkey, accessible only by the wallet owner. Rocko’s smart wallets are built with Kernel, a highly audited and trusted modular smart account. Additionally, many DeFi protocols, including Compound, do not allow for the rehypothecation of assets. This means when you take out a loan using Rocko, your collateral is not lent to other borrowers. Instead, it is locked in a smart contract until you repay your loan.

Rocko was founded by a team of experienced fintech founders who have built and launched innovative consumer financial products in TradFi and Web3 such as the Gemini Credit Card, MarcusPay by Goldman Sachs, and Ondo Finance. The original idea for Rocko came from their own frustration on how hard DeFi was to use despite the great value it offered. Their vision is to build one marketplace connecting all of DeFi that allows borrowers to easily access the best rates and liquidity from any number of protocols and networks, using any crypto assets.

Pure.cash countdown begins: game-changing protocol launches within a week. The project is built on Ethereum and aims to revolutionize the crypto industry, offering more than just a decentralized version of Ethena.

Highlights
Pure USD (PUSD): A scalable, decentralized synthetic dollar.LongOnly: A zero funding rate perpetual contract product.Reverse Issuance Model: Airdropping 100% of the maximum token supply at Token Generation Event (TGE), followed by continuous token burns.Fixed Price Burning Mechanism: A revolutionary innovation for token empowerment.
From a fundamental perspective, Pure.cash is a decentralized version of Ethena, employing a delta-neutral strategy utilizing perpetual contracts to issue the stablecoin PUSD. Backed by ETH with corresponding equal short positions, PUSD consistently maintains a delta-neutral status, achieving maximum capital efficiency with full crypto asset collateralization.
What sets Pure.cash apart is its dual functionality: not only does it issue the PUSD stablecoin, but it also integrates a decentralized long-only perpetual contract protocol. This integration enables Pure.cash to achieve permissionless minting and burning of PUSD without any third-party custody risk.
Furthermore, Pure.cash is expected to demonstrate strong profitability by integrating its own LongOnly perpetual contract product. This contrasts with Ethena, which deposits assets into CEX exchanges for hedging, resulting in unstable funding rate income and potential losses.
LongOnly’s Unique Advantage
The market has witnessed several attempts at creating decentralized delta-neutral stablecoins. However, they failed to achieve large-scale adoption, either due to the limited scale of third-party perpetuals or the lack of competitiveness in their own perpetual products. LongOnly distinguishes itself by completely eliminating funding fees while maintaining a competitive trading fee of 0.07%, in line with market averages. Users can hold ETH long positions as if they were holding spot ETH, with up to 10x leverage.
Of course, the availability of free leverage isn't limitless; it depends on the supply of PUSD. This characteristic positions LongOnly as a popular product that will experience ongoing supply shortages given robust demand. With the current market demand for long ETH positions exceeding $10 billion, and additional market demand driven by the zero funding fee mechanism, PUSD has ample market capacity in its early development stages.
Some may question how the LongOnly perpetual contract balances long and short demand (PUSD supply) without charging funding fees. The protocol achieves this by (1) allowing liquidity providers (LPs) to absorb temporary imbalances within their liquidity and earn trading fees, (2) implementing preset limits and a floating fee mechanism to prevent liquidity depletion, and (3) utilizing a PUSD supply cap and an Active Redemption Mechanism to maintain equilibrium as demand shifts. For more details, refer to Pure.cash official documentation. 
Reverse Issuance Model
The Reverse Issuance Model (RIM) is an innovative deflationary model proposed by Pure.cash to address the challenges of traditional token issuance in crypto projects. The distinguishing feature of RIM lies in its unique distribution mechanism: the token supply reaches its max at the Token Generation Event (TGE), after which tokens are continuously burned, and no new tokens can be minted.

$PURE Airdrop Allocation
$PURE is Pure.cash’s utility and governance token, with a maximum supply of 2 billion. 100% of the maximum supply will be airdropped to the community through the Genesis Airdrop. The target supply of the PUSD stablecoin is set at 1 billion during Genesis Airdrop.

The Fixed Price Burning Mechanism
The Fixed Price Burning Mechanism (FPB) is a groundbreaking solution introduced by Pure.cash to tackle the challenge of token empowerment in current DeFi projects. Pure.cash sets a DAO-adjustable Burn Price and continuously injects protocol revenue (35% of total trading fees) into the Burning Pool. This mechanism allows anyone to burn $PURE and receive assets from the pool at the fixed Burn Price.

The FPB is fully implemented through on-chain smart contracts. Notably, what makes this mechanism special is that it not only continuously reduces the token supply through burning but also serves as a Floor Price Buffer.
PUSD Utility Incentives
To promote the sustainable growth and utility of PUSD, Pure.cash allocates a portion of trading fee income to the following key areas:
DeFi Protocol Integration: directly rewards liquidity providers who utilize PUSD within various DeFi protocols.Ecosystem Expansion: incentivizes ecosystem partners, including exchanges and payment service providers, for incorporating PUSD into their platforms.

Conclusion
Pure.cash emerges as a pioneering project in the crypto world, introducing a suite of innovations that address key challenges in stablecoin and DeFi markets. By integrating a decentralized synthetic dollar (PUSD) with a zero funding rate perpetual contract (LongOnly), and introducing novel tokenomics through the Reverse Issuance Model and Fixed Price Burning Mechanism, Pure.cash offers a unique approach to sustainable growth and genuine utility. Furthermore, Pure.cash incentivizes actual stablecoin usage, potentially breaking previous adoption barriers. The time for change in DeFi has arrived, and this is where Pure.cash leads the way.

Roam announced a 20 million $ROAM token airdrop for all users who owned miners and NFTs prior to the Token Generation Event (TGE) on August 6th. This airdrop initiative offers substantial financial incentives to early network supporters, effectively covering a significant portion of the costs associated with the miners. For instance,if there are a total of 20,000 miners and NFT holders before the TGE, each user is expected to receive an average of 1,000 $ROAM. Given that the average cost of a Roam miner is around $399, users could potentially get their pay back if $ROAM opens at $0.399.
To be qualified for this airdrop reward, users need to register their Roam miners according to the installation requirements before the TGE.

Overview of the Roam Miner
Roam's  hardware product, the Roam Rainier MAX60 router—commonly referred to as the miner—combines  Wi-Fi 6 technology with Web3  functionality and OpenRoaming™ network support. This device not only delivers exceptional performance and reliability but also enables users to earn Roam Points through mining, offering a potential financial return. With its streamlined design and easy operation, the Roam Rainier MAX60 is an ideal choice for use in homes, offices, and high-traffic commercial environments like cafes and restaurants.

Earnings Analysis of Roam Miners
Cost Recovery: Users can recover the initial investment in Roam miners through multiple avenues. Firstly, the pre-TGE airdrop rewards cover a significant portion of the miner's cost. Additionally, the Roam Points earned from daily mining activities further help in recouping costs and achieving profitability.

Burning Pool Mechanism: Roam’s ecosystem features a distinctive burn mechanism that increases the rarity and value of remaining tokens by burning a portion of them. After the TGE, different burn pools will be available for miner users, Roam app users, and NFT holders, with the highest weight assigned to miner users. This setup means that Roam Points earned by miners will yield the greatest returns. For miner owners, this burn mechanism enhances the long-term value of their $ROAM tokens, improving overall profitability.

High Mining Efficiency: Roam miners offer mining efficiency that is five times greater than that of the Roam app. Users receive an initial reward of 3,000 Roam Points upon activating the device. After that, the router generates over 60 Roam Points daily. Additionally, users can earn an extra 5 Roam Points through daily sign-ins, with a maximum daily reward limit of 150 Roam Points.

Dual Mining Support: Roam miners are designed to support not only Roam Points mining but also dual and multi-mining functionalities. This means users can simultaneously mine tokens from other decentralized projects such as D-VPN, CDN, and Cloud storage while operating their Roam miners. Future updates will expand support for additional dual-mining projects, enhancing the ecosystem and offering miners more earning potential.

Airdrop Rewards: Users of Roam miners can qualify for airdrop rewards from various partner projects. These airdrops, which may include tokens, NFTs, and whitelist opportunities, are typically provided by projects collaborating with Roam. This feature boosts the earning potential of Roam miners and enhances the appeal of the Roam ecosystem, attracting more users to get involved.

Economic Incentives: When factoring in airdrop rewards, mining earnings, and the burn mechanism, Roam miners present a stable and promising investment opportunity. These incentives allow users to recover their initial investment and achieve significant long-term returns.

Zurich, Switzerland, Sep 2nd, 2024 – Outcome Labs, a pioneering force in the decentralized derivatives marketplace, is proud to unveil its latest groundbreaking analysis on the crypto derivatives liquidation crisis. This study, driven by the mantra "Do Not Get Rekt," sheds light on the often-overlooked risks associated with leveraged crypto trading, aiming to arm traders with the knowledge they need to navigate these volatile waters safely.

In a surprising revelation, Outcome Labs has identified a significant gap in the existing research landscape: no prior studies have comprehensively examined the probability of getting REKT in leveraged crypto trading. Leveraged trading, often viewed as a quick path to outsized returns, comes with the lurking danger of complete capital loss—a risk that many traders underestimate. To address this, the Outcome Labs team conducted an extensive analysis of eight years of daily Bitcoin price data. The results were startling: the risk of liquidation increases exponentially as leverage or holding periods extend, even for traders who believe they have mitigated risks through short-term strategies.

"Traders using 25X leverage face a 25% chance of losing 100% of their funds within just 24 hours," stated Pete Harrigan, Founder of Outcome Trading. This stark statistic underscores the critical need for effective risk management strategies in the crypto trading world.
Over a series of 50 trades, the probability of losing all capital surges once leverage exceeds 5x." This is a crucial insight for both novice and seasoned traders, highlighting that the odds are often stacked against those who venture into high-leverage positions without a proper understanding of the risks involved."

Harrigan emphasized this point by referencing data from @BXREKT, which reported approximately 270,000 liquidations over a four-year period. "The data clearly show that liquidations are not a rare event but a common outcome for many traders," Harrigan noted, "and they often occur when traders least expect them."

Comprehensive Insights for Traders

Outcome Labs' analysis spans various holding periods, trading strategies, and a wide range of crypto assets. It offers traders valuable insights into avoiding catastrophic losses while navigating the complexities of leveraged trading. The study also reveals that risk increases dramatically not only with higher leverage but also with prolonged holding periods, irrespective of market conditions. These findings underscore the need for advanced risk management tools and strategies, which are critical for anyone involved in leveraged crypto trading.

For traders looking to build a sustainable trading strategy, the implications of this research are clear: understanding and managing the risks of leverage are paramount. Outcome Trading, through its advanced tools and platform, aims to provide traders with the resources they need to trade smarter, safer, and more profitably.

Matchain, a decentralized AI blockchain focused on data and identity sovereignty, is launching its mainnet with the goal of creating an ecosystem where data ownership is democratized, privacy is a choice, and users are empowered to control their data.
Matchain, a cutting-edge decentralized AI blockchain platform, is officially launching its mainnet on 28 August at 3 PM EST, setting the stage for the next wave of innovation. After months of rigorous development, refinement and a successful migration to the BNB Chain, Matchain is ready to transform the Web3 landscape with a powerful ecosystem that democratizes data ownership and prioritizes user privacy.
This mainnet launch isn’t just a technical milestone—it’s the culmination of a journey that saw Matchain surpass all expectations during its testnet phase. With over 180 million transactions processed, more than 3 million players engaged in its mini-app, 1.6 million subscribers on Telegram and a thriving community of over 340,000 Twitter followers, Matchain has proven its potential to drive significant adoption. The platform has also forged over 50 strategic partnerships, including collaborations with dApps, wallets and exchanges, positioning itself as a leader in the decentralized AI and DID space.

A New Era of Data Ownership and Privacy
Web 2.0, characterized by interactive web platforms where users can collaborate on content, has brought many advancements. However, it has also introduced significant issues concerning data privacy, identity theft and user control over personal data.
While Web3, representing the next phase of the internet, has emerged to meet the demand for a user-centric internet, there are still major challenges in data management. Even with decentralized networks growing, on-chain identities remain fragmented and non-interoperable. Current AI models make these issues worse by exploiting user data without explicit consent, raising privacy concerns and allowing corporations to profit unfairly.
The use of decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and verifiable credentials in Web3 can enhance data security and privacy. DIDs allow users to manage their digital identities without relying on a central authority, while verifiable credentials provide a cryptographically secure way. This technology, which ensures that data is shared only with explicit consent and for intended purposes, is built into the data aggregator at the core of Matchain.
Unlocking Data Value and Enhancing User Privacy
Matchain goes beyond allowing users to see the true worth of their data and take control of it. By introducing the first AI layer-2 rollup on the BNB Chain, Matchain is bringing AI products and users on-chain, focusing on decentralized identity and data sovereignty. The goal is to use advanced AI algorithms to create a cross-chain, cross-platform identity aggregation and data interoperability solution to self-sovereignty in the Web3 era.
In a significant step towards expanding its ecosystem, Matchain Network has officially integrated with OKX Wallet. This integration marks an important step in bringing Matchain’s vision of decentralized identity to a wider audience and allows users to interact with the network via the trusted OKX Wallet. Officials from Matchain have hinted that more partnerships with additional tier-1 players beyond OKX are on the horizon. These collaborations are expected to give Matchain greater access to leading wallets, NFT marketplaces, and other major platforms, further solidifying its position in the Web3 space.
While this partnership is already a significant achievement, it is only the beginning. Matchain has a strong pipeline of tier-1 wallet integrations and major ecosystem partnerships, with more announcements planned for next month. Among these developments, Matchain has partnered with Rarible, demonstrating its expanding presence in the NFT marketplace sector. Additionally, Matchain has integrated with platforms like Moonwhales.xyz, further solidifying its growing influence in the space. Users can expect even more exciting news as Matchain continues to broaden its reach.
Matchain's consensus mechanism ensures faster transaction speeds and higher throughput, making it ideal for high-demand applications. The platform supports seamless integration with multiple blockchain networks, allowing for fluid interaction and data exchange across different ecosystems. Matchain employs innovative cryptographic techniques to safeguard user data and ensure privacy while also offering robust protection against malicious activities.
With abstract account wallets and a unified identity system, Matchain simplifies the user experience, making it accessible for both Web2 and Web3 users. The platform also provides comprehensive tools and resources for developers, including APIs, SDKs and detailed documentation to facilitate the creation and deployment of dApps.

New Standards on Ethical AI Practices
Matchain envisions a future where users fully control their digital identities and data. Its mission is to build a decentralized AI ecosystem that prioritizes user privacy and data ownership, setting new standards for ethical AI practices. The platform aims to create an ecosystem where data ownership is democratized, privacy is a choice, and users are empowered to leverage their data for personal, social and economic advancement.

Today marks a new chapter for Matchain and the broader blockchain community. We believe this launch will significantly enhance the capabilities of decentralized applications and drive the next wave of blockchain adoption.
Petrix Barbosa, CEO of Matchain
