Greetings,
This week, our focus has been on refining how we help navigate the current market climate, which continues to trend sideways with limited conviction across major tokens. Despite the bearish conditions, we’ve pushed forward with new features, research, and strategic insights that aim to cut through the noise and equip our users with actionable data.
🚀 Introducing Moonshots: A Curated List of High-Upside, Low-Cap Tokens
We’ve officially launched Moonshots — a feature designed to help identify promising low-cap tokens under $50 million in market cap. These selections are made using filters we already rely on internally: Trader Grade, Bullish Signals, and rate of grade change. While still experimental, backtesting shows that two out of three trades tend to perform positively, averaging 13% ROI with individual outliers reaching nearly 70%.
Each moonshot enters and exits the list dynamically. You’ll get notified via email and in-app alerts when a token qualifies — or drops off — ensuring real-time visibility. This system is built for short-term, high-risk trades, not long-term holdings, with an average holding window of one to six days. It’s not intended for heavy portfolio allocation — typically no more than 1-2% of total capital per trade.
🔍 Research Insights: Trends in DeFi and Meme Meta
As part of our ongoing deep-dive analysis, we’ve observed several notable trends:
Smart Money Activity: Recent trades have been dominated by meme-oriented tokens, particularly within the emerging BonkFund/PumpFund meta. Some of these assets have experienced significant rallies post-pump airdrop announcements, indicating potential for temporary liquidity inflows into meme sectors.
Hidden Gems Spotlight:
Veda: A DeFi protocol pushing vault infrastructure standards, already holding over $3.5B in liquidity. With major backers like Coinbase Ventures and Animoca Brands, it could be a leading force in DeFi 3.0.
Gorbagana Chain: A meme-inspired L1 forked from Solana, offering cross-chain token functionality. While initial liquidity has slowed, we’re monitoring potential reaccumulation.
StableChain: A new chain from Bitfinex using USDT as native gas. Its unique approach to fee-less peer-to-peer transfers could drive adoption.
Distribute AI: An under-the-radar AI coin on our watchlist. Despite a significant price drop, its reemergence is possible if accumulation resumes.
Market Overview
Not much has shifted across broader markets — many tokens remain flat. A few have caught our attention:
We also evaluated projects like Messier and MSTR2100, which appear vague or overly meme-based without clear fundamentals — and are therefore not prioritized in our strategies.
Protocol Reviews: Midnight & Bluefin
Our latest code reviews include:
Miden (92% rating): A zk-enabled “edge blockchain” incubated by Polygon, designed to optimize compute usage with client-side zero-knowledge proofs. Currently in testnet.
Blofin (87% rating): A top SUI ecosystem DEX using a hybrid order book model. With increasing adoption, low gas fees, and integrations with other DeFi protocols, Bluefin stands out in its category.
Indices Launch Update
We’re preparing to launch AI-powered and HODL-style indices by the end of the month. These will support cross-chain trading (including Solana) and provide both active (AI) and passive (always invested) strategies. Smart contract firewalls are being integrated to help mitigate risk in real time.
We're prioritizing indices development over other roadmap items like our launchpad, following direct feedback from our community.
Thanks for reading. We’ll continue delivering updates grounded in data, product improvements, and user feedback.
