Tydro — Aave-Based Lending Protocol Driving Explosive Growth on Ink L2

Tydro is a decentralized, non-custodial liquidity protocol designed for lending and borrowing in DeFi. It's built on Aave v3 and deployed on Ink, an Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) network backed by Kraken. This setup allows for faster, cheaper transactions compared to Ethereum mainnet while leveraging Aave's proven security and mechanics. Tydro positions itself as "core infrastructure for DeFi on Ink," enabling users to supply assets for yields or borrow against collateral without intermediaries.

The main buzz around the project comes from its explosive post-launch TVL growth. It surpassed $100M in total value locked almost immediately after launch — a massive achievement for a brand-new L2 protocol. This signals strong early adoption and effective liquidity bootstrapping through $INK incentives. For context, even established L2s like Arbitrum took months to reach similar milestones.

Anndy Lian — Blockchain Advisor Turned Memecoin Trendsetter on BNB Chain

Anndy Lian is a prominent figure in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space, positioning himself as a "Thought Leader, Intergovernmental Blockchain Advisor, Investor & Best-Selling Author." He is also an author, with contributions to outlets like Finance Magnates, Techopedia, and e27, covering topics from market predictions to regulatory shifts. His work emphasizes practical applications of blockchain, such as in eSports, remittances, and institutional finance.

Lian’s account has been gaining strong traction in crypto circles, especially within the memecoin and community-driven narrative spaces on the BNB Chain. His recent posts have gone viral, drawing thousands of views, hundreds of likes, and dozens of reposts in a single day — far above his usual engagement levels. One of these viral moments even inspired the launch of a $ANDY memecoin on BNB Chain, which is now trading with over $2M in volume and driving even more attention to his account.

Brevis — ZK Coprocessor Platform Gaining Spotlight After Vitalik Mention

Brevis is a zero-knowledge (ZK) coprocessor platform designed to enhance blockchain scalability and functionality by enabling smart contracts to access historical on-chain data from any blockchain and perform complex, trustless computations off-chain. This "infinite compute layer" allows developers to build data-driven decentralized applications (dApps) without the high gas costs, latency, or limitations of traditional on-chain processing. At its core, Brevis uses ZK proofs to verify computations, ensuring privacy and security while integrating with ecosystems like Ethereum, Layer 2s (e.g., Linea), and BNB Chain.

The recent surge of interest in the project came after Vitalik Buterin mentioned it, drawing significant new attention from the crypto community. The team is currently running a points campaign and plans to conduct its TGE by the end of the year.

Dm.fun — Solana-Based Social-Fi Platform Poised for $FUN Pre-Sale Launch

Dm.fun is an emerging decentralized messaging and social platform built on the Solana blockchain. Launched by a team from Matrica—a established company known for real utility in crypto tools—it's designed to serve as a comprehensive hub for the crypto community. The core pitch is to "completely replace Telegram for the crypto ecosystem," combining seamless chatting, token trading, and meme creation/sharing into one app. This positions it as a "new meta" on Solana, emphasizing speed, low fees, and on-chain integration for social-fi experiences.

The project is generating buzz ahead of its $FUN pre-sale on October 21, which will coincide with both the TGE and the product launch. Whether it turns into a long-term success or just a one-day hype remains to be seen, but for now, all eyes are on them.
