Dopamine – Creating a Blockchain SuperApp

Dopamine offers a non-custodial, secure, and anonymous cryptocurrency mobile app wallet catering to users of all levels in the cryptocurrency market.

With more than 3.6 million downloads, the app contains multiple features, but there are four that stand out the most:

🔸Turbo Trader: Equipped with various tools, signals, and AI indicators, Turbo Trader assists users in spot or leverage trading.

Ripple plans to launch a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin to compete with major players like USDC and USDT

The stablecoin, initially issued on the XRP Ledger and Ethereum blockchains, aims to carve out a significant market share in the expanding stablecoin industry, expected to exceed $2 trillion by 2028.

Ripple’s focus on compliance and transparency is a key strategy in differentiating its stablecoin in the market.

Pendle Finance could be the next big thing in DeFi

Pendle Finance is an Ethereum-based yield trading protocol that has seen substantial growth, with its native token, PENDLE, increasing by 502% year-to-date.

This surge is largely due to unique yield farming approaches and increased protocol activity, particularly involving Ethereum liquid restaking and upcoming DeFi protocol airdrops.

However, the recent spike in Pendle’s activity can be chiefly attributed to raising the cap for its Ethena USDe pool to 400 million. This growing protocol activity has propelled Pendle’s TVL to surpass $4 billion.

📉Ethereum hits 3 year low against Bitcoin

Ethereum's value against Bitcoin has hit its lowest point in three years, raising questions about whether this is a bear trap, a situation that misleads investors about the market's direction.

Veteran trader Peter Brandt contributes to the discussion, suggesting that the current market conditions might not be as bearish as they appear.

Additionally, despite Ethereum's decline, the options market shows bullish sentiment, hinting at a possible recovery or positive market shift ahead.

🚀Worldcoin’s World App has reached 10 million users and 70 million transactions

The World App wallet boasts users in more than 160 countries, including 2 million daily active users.

The wallet's growth comes as Worldcoin debuted on Thursday two new privacy-focused features: A mechanism to revoke permissions for World IDs via permanent iris code deletion and in-person age verification checks at each humanness verification location.

🔥Sensay – Changing the AI Industry

At its core, Sensay pioneers the development of personalized digital replicas far beyond mere imitations. In partnership with companies like Fetch.ai, LayerZero, and Banyan Computer, Sensay goes beyond your usual AI agent, creating an identical twin that takes on your personality and can act in your name.

These replicas are not just digital representations of individuals or entities. They are a groundbreaking innovation that utilizes blockchain and other advanced tech to replicate real-life interactions and evolve. This innovative approach is what sets Sensay apart.

What can they do? Almost anything. From answering simple questions to assisting patients and their families in the fight against dementia, the digital replicas created by Sensay are impressively versatile, sparking excitement about the potential applications.

The interesting part about them is their ability to evolve. Just like any other human, Sensay’s digital twins can learn, contextually adapt their responses, and mature over time.

To create a digital replica, users must answer ~50 questions and upload an audio file with their voice. From there, the AI agent will create a replica of their personality, mimicking the tone of their voice and how they speak. The application currently works in more than 110 languages.

In the future, Sensay envisions adding video capabilities to its replicas. By simply uploading a collection of photos and perhaps some videos, the replica will be able to generate your twin, offering the hopeful prospect of speaking to yourself in real-time.

📈Bitcoin dominance hits 3 year high of 56.3%

Bitcoin's dominance in the crypto market has reached a three-year high, currently sitting at 56.3%.

This rise is attributed to a recent price dip that caused altcoins to suffer greater losses, with some of the top twenty cryptocurrencies by market cap falling more than 15%.

The shift has rekindled hopes for an "altseason," where altcoins might surge following a period of Bitcoin consolidation.

🚀Could MEW be the next big Solana memecoin?

Solana's cat-themed memecoin, MEW, or "cat in a dogs world", saw an astonishing 88% increase in its price following a massive 479 million tokens purchase by a cryptocurrency whale.

This event sparked significant attention and trading activity, coinciding with MEW's recent listings on several prominent cryptocurrency exchanges, like OKX and KuCoin.

Ahead of today’s MEW price surge, a whale on Solana’s network withdrew 10,438 SOL from Binance, only to splash it all on MEW at $0.0032. If the whale had sold off their MEW stake at daily heights of $0.0058, the whale would have made a 55% profit.

💸The South Korean won has become the world's most traded fiat currency against cryptocurrencies in the first quarter of 2024, surpassing the U.S. dollar in trading volume.

This shift is attributed to intense competition among South Korean crypto exchanges, which implemented zero-fee policies to attract users.

This strategic move significantly increased trading volumes, although it impacted exchange revenues negatively.

🔥API3 — Solving the OEV Problem

Before getting into what OEV is and how API3 solves this issue, let’s first review the basics of MEV. MEV stands for “maximal extractable value” and is a hidden fee imposed on blockchain users by strategic third parties extracting value from their transactions by performing actions such as frontrunning, sandwich attacks, etc.

Stakeholders of most dApps now demand that the MEV extracted from them be minimized. Yet, many existing applications are unaware of MEV and, thus, cannot protect from this value loss📉

A subset of MEV relates to how oracles are designed and can be termed oracle extractable value (OEV). For lending protocols (which rely HEAVILY on oracles), any update to the data feed could create opportunities for OEV.

🌐API3 can provide a solution by changing a step in the price feed update. Instead of waiting for the price to update on-chain according to deviation thresholds, API3 creates a mechanism where searchers can bid to trigger an oracle update and any value associated with that update, like in the case of liquidations.

Here’s how this will work:

API3 will start auctioning off meta-transactions that are cryptographically signed by first-party oracles, which can be used by third parties to update the data feed in a tamper-proof way.

The entity that is granted access to update the data feed would naturally be guaranteed first rights to any OEV opportunities that come directly before or after the update.

Granting this access at the oracle protocol layer means searchers would no longer have to participate in blockspace auctions for OEV opportunities.

They can instead participate in an auction held by the oracle that sends the majority of the value back to the dApp where it was generated.

The auction for these updates moves to the oracle level rather than the block producers. The OEV Network hosts these auctions, with the proceeds being returned to the dApp that generated the value💸

This allows them to direct this value towards more productive means that grow their network, creating a crucial role for API3 to facilitate this auction process on behalf of the dApp.
