Kinetiq Dominates Hyperliquid’s Staking Scene Ahead of $KNTQ Launch

The Kinetiq Foundation governs Kinetiq, a non-custodial liquid staking platform built exclusively on Hyperliquid. Launched in July 2025, it lets users stake HYPE, Hyperliquid’s native token, and receive kHYPE—a yield-bearing liquid staking token (~2.2% APY) that remains fully liquid across the ecosystem.

In just three months, Kinetiq has captured 95% of Hyperliquid’s LST market, making it the fastest-growing liquid staking protocol to date. The recent announcement of $KNTQ (Oct 22) has fueled massive speculation around an airdrop and token launch.

Kinetiq previously raised $1.75M in a seed round from ecosystem-native backers including Maven 11 Capital, SIG, Chorus One, Flowdesk, Alpen, and Pier Two.

$PING Launches as First Memecoin on x402 Payment Protocol

Ping Observer ($PING) is the first memecoin launched on x402, an experimental internet-native payment protocol built on Base. Rather than a typical DeFi or infra project, it’s a viral showcase for x402’s new way of handling crypto payments—directly through web requests.

The concept: “Ping for money.” x402 embeds blockchain transactions into standard HTTP calls, enabling AI agents and apps to send or receive crypto as easily as loading a webpage. Backed by Coinbase and Cloudflare via the x402 Foundation, it’s designed to make wallet ops, on-ramps, and stablecoin transfers frictionless and native to the internet layer.

The timing was perfect—Coinbase’s “Payments MCP” launch (Oct 22) introduced LLM-native payments using x402, fueling speculation that $PING’s debut was coordinated. The token’s mint reflected the tech: users “pinged” USDC to a facilitator contract to receive $PING in return.

Following launch, $PING surged to a $4.4M market cap, with usage on x402 spiking over 1000% in 24h.

Konnex Bridges AI, Robotics, and Crypto on Solana

Konnex is a blockchain-based platform building a decentralized marketplace for robotics and AI-driven autonomous systems on Solana. It aims to enable robots to interact, transact, and collaborate in a fully permissionless environment.

At its core, Konnex sits at the intersection of AI, robotics, and crypto, tackling challenges like interoperability between robotic hardware, trustless execution of physical tasks, and monetization of machine intelligence in real-world contexts.

The project fits perfectly into the “AI x Crypto x Robotics” meta and is rumored to be preparing for a token launch in the coming weeks, driving rising attention across the space.

Limitless Goes Viral After Surprise $LMTS Launch

Limitless is a decentralized prediction market platform built on the Base blockchain, letting users speculate on short-term price movements of crypto and stocks—from hourly to ultra-short 1–5 minute markets. Unlike perps or options, trades settle instantly via Pyth oracles with no liquidations, no funding fees, and fixed risk/reward ratios.

The project started as a metaverse experiment in 2022 but pivoted to prediction markets, positioning itself as a “live scoreboard of collective intelligence.” 

Limitless exploded in visibility this week after a stealth $LMTS token launch and surprise airdrop on October 22. Early traders, NFT holders, and Wallchain campaign participants received unexpected rewards—some earning thousands overnight. The move fueled organic FOMO and turned Limitless into one of the most talked-about projects on Base, solidifying prediction markets as one of 2025’s strongest narratives.
