$UNI
The L2 network Unichain launched by Uniswap Labs officially went live on February 11, 2025. According to data from L2beat, as of February 15, 2025, Unichain's total locked value (TVL) has surpassed $25 million, reaching $25.04 million.
Unichain is a decentralized Layer 2 network built on the Optimism Superchain, aimed at providing DeFi users with a faster and cheaper trading experience. The network has processed over 95 million transactions during the testing phase and deployed over 14.7 million smart contracts. The launch of Unichain marks a significant step for Uniswap in expanding the Ethereum ecosystem.
Currently, nearly 100 cryptocurrency products and protocols, including Uniswap, Circle, Coinbase, Lido, and Morpho, have already built or plan to build on Unichain. The addition of these protocols not only enriches Unichain's ecosystem but also provides users with more choices and a more efficient DeFi experience.
The launch of Unichain has also received a positive response from the market, with Uniswap's native token UNI rising over 6% shortly after the mainnet launch, although it has since retraced.

$JUP
Jupiter Link's Meow article, Jupnet is a comprehensive blockchain network currently under construction, aimed at achieving the goal of "aggregating everything". To connect a billion people and trillions of tokens, Jupiter requires the following three key infrastructures:
1. A single source of truth across chains: While blockchains solve the problem of a single source of truth internally, the issue of a single source of truth in a cross-chain environment remains unresolved. Therefore, Jupiter proposes DOVE (Decentralized Verification and Execution Oracle), which addresses the single source of truth issue across chains through a decentralized single state of truth.
2. A complete blockchain ledger: Jupnet will host a decentralized full-chain ledger, allowing users and applications to trade freely in a decentralized manner. This ledger network can achieve dynamic finality, quickly processing transactions based on transaction scale and circumstances, while simplifying complexity for developers.
3. A fully on-chain identity system: Jupnet will adopt Aggregated Decentralized Identity (ADI) to replace traditional wallets, providing users with a more user-friendly authentication system. This system supports social logins, key verification, and the ability to generate recovery keys when needed by the user.
Jupiter plans to provide a technical preview and detailed technical overview of Jupnet in early April 2025.

$IO
Solana ecosystem DePIN protocol io.net announces the launch of the IO Intelligence platform, which combines vector database as a service with up to five intelligent agents and 25 open-source AI models (including DeepSeek, Meta Llama, and Mistral). The IO Intelligence platform is designed for simplicity and performance, enabling real-time analytics without requiring developers to face complex setups or write extensive code.
The platform allows developers the freedom to choose how to integrate and manage advanced AI capabilities by providing a developer-friendly API and a comprehensive website. Its distributed execution architecture ensures that privacy-sensitive computations, such as data preprocessing and compliance loads, remain processed locally, while computationally intensive tasks like model inference and training can be seamlessly scaled in the cloud.

$TIA
The Celestia community launched a proposal on February 13, 2025 to set a lock-up limit on the staking rewards of locked tokens and keep the unlocking time of the staking rewards consistent with the original locked tokens. This proposal aims to solve the problem that most current PoS networks (such as Solana, Sui, and Aptos) do not lock investor share staking rewards.
In response to the proposal, Celestia founder Mustafa Al-Bassam issued a statement of support, believing that the proposal can not only solve Celestia's problems, but also provide reference for other Cosmos SDK chains. In addition, to prevent users from circumventing restrictions by creating validator nodes with 100% commissions, the proposal also recommends setting the upper limit of validator commissions to 25%.

$UNI
Uniswap founder Hayden Adams stated that the Uniswap V4 version underwent testing approximately 12 hours after its launch, including a transaction where $1,000 worth of ETH was exchanged for USDT. Below are the main points and significance of this test:
• Transaction Path: The on-chain routing for Uniswap V4 suggests completing a multi-hop exchange from ETH to USDC and then to USDT through two V4 pools, with a total TVL of $400,000.
• Comparison to V3 Version: Even though the single liquidity pool TVL for ETH/USDT in the V3 version totals about $150 million, the multi-hop path in the V4 version still offers better exchange prices.
• Cost Advantage: The native ETH token support in the V4 version and the lower costs associated with multi-loop routes demonstrate a pure gas efficiency advantage.
• Lower Gas Costs: The V4 version has reduced transaction gas costs by optimizing transaction paths and introducing native ETH tokens.
• Better Exchange Prices: The optimization of multi-hop paths allows users to achieve better exchange prices, even in cases of low liquidity.
• More LP Profit: Lower gas costs and better exchange prices will attract more users to utilize Uniswap V4, leading to higher profits for liquidity providers (LPs).
• Growth Catalyst: Hayden Adams believes that lower gas costs and an improved trading experience will be one of the key catalysts for the growth of the V4 version.
The Uniswap V4 version provides users with a better trading experience and higher profit margins by optimizing transaction paths and reducing costs. These improvements not only enhance user experience but also lay a solid foundation for Uniswap's further development in the DeFi space.

$IOTX
IoTeX released its 2025 development roadmap on February 1, 2025, focusing on four new ecological drivers driven by DePIN (decentralized physical infrastructure network) and AI:
1. Physically-aware AI enabled by DePIN
IoTeX has launched QuickSilver, an open source framework that combines large language models (LLMs) with DePIN network data to create high-level AI applications, and plans to launch the QuickSilver testnet in the first quarter of 2025. Developers will be able to use QuickSilver to connect the existing DePIN world with the emerging AI world to create new "perceptual AI applications". In addition, IoTeX has partnered with Eliza Labs to combine DePIN infrastructure with ElizaOS, enabling AI agents to leverage real-time data and services from the DePIN network and control physical devices in a decentralized environment.
2. Made in the USA and Strategic Expansion
Founded in Silicon Valley in 2017, IoTeX is actively working with leading US institutions and platforms, including Grayscale, Coinbase, Kraken, and Robinhood, as well as payment giants PayPal and Venmo. At the same time, IoTeX has joined the Blockchain Association, an important organization in the crypto industry in Washington, DC.
3. Establishing a DePIN+AI Strategic Reserve
IoTeX will create an initial BTC-based DePIN+AI asset strategic reserve for IOTX holders. The reserve will serve as a "vault" for long-term high-quality tokens and assets to safeguard the interests of IOTX holders.
4. Community First
IoTeX will launch a comprehensive community empowerment program, coupled with a DAO-based governance model, to allow the community to directly participate in the development of IoTeX.
Through these initiatives, IoTeX aims to further promote the integration of DePIN and AI technologies and provide more powerful decentralized applications and services to users around the world.

Hayden Adams' post mentioned that Uniswap V4 conducted a test approximately 12 hours after its launch, involving the exchange of $1,000 worth of ETH for USDT. In this test, Uniswap's on-chain routing suggested completing a multi-hop token swap from ETH to USDC and then to USDT through two V4 pools, with a total TVL (Total Value Locked) of $400,000. Although the TVL of the single liquidity pool ETH/USDT in version 3 was around $150 million, version 4 is starting to show its pure gas efficiency advantages due to its native ETH tokens and multi-loop route, resulting in lower transaction costs.
Additionally, Hayden Adams mentioned that IMO (possibly some mechanism or feature) will be one of the biggest catalysts for V4's growth, as lower gas costs, better exchange rates, and more LP (liquidity provider) profits are expected. This indicates that Uniswap V4 has made significant optimizations in trading efficiency and cost control, bringing greater benefits to users and liquidity providers.
