CrimeChain — Avalanche’s Edgy New L1 Turning DeFi Into a Criminal Underworld

CrimeChain is a freshly launched Layer 1 blockchain built on Avalanche (AVAX) that blends high-speed DeFi with a stylized, crime-themed gaming experience. Instead of standard staking or farming, the chain introduces narrative-driven mechanics like “heists,” one-click illicit actions, underworld factions, and reward pools designed to feel like a digital criminal ecosystem. The goal is to make on-chain activity more immersive and entertainment-driven while still offering the throughput and low fees expected from an Avalanche-based L1.

Launched in mid-November 2025, CrimeChain is still early but gaining momentum thanks to its bold branding, meme-ready aesthetic, and focus on gamified engagement. With traders increasingly chasing novel, story-based ecosystems, it’s emerging as one of the more attention-grabbing experimental chains this week.

Zerdinals — Anonymous Ordinals on Zcash

Zerdinals is a grassroots, community-built inscription protocol on the Zcash blockchain—essentially the “Ordinals of Zcash.” It lets users inscribe data such as tokens, NFTs, and digital artifacts directly onto Zcash blocks while leveraging zk-SNARK-powered privacy. This enables fully anonymous minting and trading, making Zerdinals the first major attempt at privacy-native inscriptions in crypto. It’s not affiliated with the Zcash Foundation or Electric Coin Company, but driven by independent developers like @solkek2.

Launched in mid-November 2025, the protocol has already seen explosive traction: 60,000+ inscriptions and 30,000 new Zcash wallets within the first week. It’s trending because it sits at the intersection of two booming narratives—Zcash’s massive resurgence (up ~1,300% YTD to $600+) and the ongoing mania for inscription ecosystems like Runes/BRC-20. Zerdinals effectively introduces “anonymous Ordinals,” attracting degens who want high-risk plays on a privacy-first chain just as global scrutiny on transparent blockchains intensifies.

PrismFi — The Fastest Emerging DEX on MegaETH

PrismFi is a new decentralized exchange (DEX) built on MegaETH, the ultra-fast Ethereum Layer-2 known for sub-second transaction speeds and near-zero fees. Launched in late 2025, the project is part of the growing Bad Bunnz ecosystem—an NFT-driven builder hub that’s becoming one of the earliest communities shaping the MegaETH landscape.

PrismFi positions itself as “the fastest way to trade on MegaETH,” offering spot markets, perpetual futures, and upcoming DeFi primitives designed with mobile-first UX in mind. The DEX aims to become a native liquidity hub for the MegaETH network, integrating directly into the chain’s app ecosystem and leveraging its massive throughput for frictionless trading.

With MegaETH gaining attention ahead of its mainnet expansion, PrismFi is emerging as one of the ecosystem’s first serious trading venues—well-timed for users hunting early-stage L2 opportunities, points, and airdrop potential.

Tread.fi — The Ultimate Crypto Algorithmic Trading Terminal

Tread.fi is an algorithmic trading terminal and Order & Execution Management System (OEMS) built for both retail and institutional crypto traders. Launched in July 2024, it provides advanced tools to automate trades, optimize execution, and minimize costs like slippage across centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) exchanges. Users can trade spot, perpetuals, futures, and options while running strategies like VWAP, TWAP, and delta-neutral arbitrage, all without building custom infrastructure. Its efficiency and low-latency capabilities make it a powerful solution for navigating volatile crypto markets.

Tread.fi is gaining major traction in November 2025, fueled by the perp DEX farming meta and strategic ecosystem integrations. Platforms like Pacifica and Paradex allow delta-neutral and VWAP bots to maximize rewards, while Hyperliquid and Aster enable high-frequency market-making across multiple DEXs. Traders are reporting massive volume multipliers—turning small capital into outsized on-chain activity—and early adopters are stacking points across ecosystems ahead of Season 1 launches. With its comprehensive coverage and farming efficiency, Tread.fi is quickly becoming a must-use tool for yield-focused crypto traders.
