DeFi Yield Protocol is Turning Heads in 2021: A Look into New Developments

Published

on

Decentralized finance is the latest booming development in the cryptocurrency space, with DEXes snowballing. DeFi Yield Protocol (DYP) is a unique protocol that allows any user to provide liquidity, get ETH as returns while maintaining the token price. Unlike some DeFi user interfaces, the DYP interface is quite simple and can accommodate both new and experienced yield farmers.

DYP was launched in the third quarter of 2020 and has grown significantly since then. The company currently has more than $ 56 million in Total Locked Value (TVL) and has paid a total of 4,769.41 ETH ($6,326,052) to liquidity providers during the period. Investors can earn up to 100.14 ETH in just 24 hours, making it one of the best farming protocols out there. The coming month, March, will see DYP bring significant updates to its platform. Here’s what you should expect:

DYP Earn Vault

The DYP earn vault is an automated yield farming contract. For a deposited particular token, the protocol automates a yield farming plan of action by transferring provider funds between the highest profit platform generators. The feature will go live between 20 March and the 25th.

75% of the profits will be converted into ETH and distributed to liquidity providers. In comparison, the remaining 25% will buy back the protocol’s governance token to increase liquidity and maintain token price stability.

DYP earn vault offers support for five tokens, including ETH, WBTC, USDC, USDT, and DAI. Liquidity providers can use their tokens for 3, 30, 60, 90, and 120 days.

New Staking Pools on PancakeSwap

According to the DYP roadmap, in the first quarter of 2020, they listed adding staking pools.

PancakeSwap prides itself on being faster and cheaper than Uniswap. The decentralized application (Dapp) introduced in late 2020 has grown to become one of the largest in BSC. It is in direct competition to other well-known projects such as Uniswap and Sushiswap.

By leveraging PancakeSwap, users can take advantage of all DeFi features from token swapping, staking, farming to NFT. It offers an automated market maker (AMM) working under a smart contract and opens up the world for consumers to enjoy a large and attractive world of DeFi. The relationship with Binance offers the decentralized exchange an extensive network of assets, scalable, and low fees.

DYP Tools

Users should expect more DYP tools from 25 March – 30 March, including custom DEX tools dashboard and DEX project information for DYP DEX users. The tools put together open-source data cached from the latest liquidity providers and decentralized exchanges (DEX). The information will be available on the custom DEX tools dashboard hence helping the investors make informed decisions to see maximized yields. 

The DYP tools will also be linked to Uniswap, enabling users to view and explore pools/pairs on the exchange and access trading charts and DEX real-time info for all listed projects.

By tapping into the DYP liquidity locker, the tools will generate a 100% decentralized trust score. The trust score is computed based on general criteria, including a project’s contract security audits and liquidity on Uniswap.

Ethereum Mining Pool

One of the events planned for the first quarter of 2021 is implementing the ETH Mining Pool created with an investment of over $ 1 million.

Participants in the ETH mining pool stand to receive a monthly bonus of 10% of ETH monthly income. For example, if the ETH price is $ 1000, the DYP price is $ 5, and the user’s estimated monthly income is 1 ETH, then each address of the miner who interacts with the DYP smart contract will receive one monthly bonus of 20 DYP tokens worth 100 US dollars.

To claim monthly DYP tokens, users must first join the DYP set, no fee ETH mining pool. With this, they get to earn more ETH monthly.

The ETH mining fund and yield farming provide all miners with a monthly DYP bonus of 10% + 0% mining fees. The mining pool bonuses pay a maximum amount of DYP with a Price Impact of -2.5%.

The DYP team is waiting to achieve 250 GH/s; the Hashrate to roll out a mining pool. So far, the protocol has managed 35 GH/s Hashrate from miners.

DYP Lending

Next up is DYP lending that is expected anytime from 20 April – 25 April. Using smart contracts in projects allows consumers to pool their assets and distribute them to borrowers, using the credit rules set out in the contract.

With DYP lending, consumers can borrow or lend DYP tokens in a completely decentralized manner. Consumers who wish to become lenders send their tokens to a specific money market and receive interest on their tokens depending on the APY. Automatically, the platform calculates it when the smart contract converts DYP to ETH at 00:00 UTC.

New CEX Listing and Bridge Between BSC and ETH

The DYP platform hopes to issue its tokens on more exchanges. Last year it made its first listing on Uniswap as it is the leading DEX exchange for DeFi projects with high real liquidity. According to DYP, it is sure that more CEX exchanges will come. DYP has said that the top 50 exchanges have contacted them for listing. 

The DYP team has also launched a bridge that will allow users to switch DYP between the Binance Smart Contracts (BSC) and the Ethereum Networks.

As an Ethereum based platform, DYP users enjoy maximum interoperability in the market. You can use your token on other DeFi platforms that support this unique financial instrument. You can also store your DYP tokens in an ERC-20 compatible wallet.

Summing Up

With the ongoing updates, we can expect the protocol to receive more attention from the crypto community. For the rest of the year, the protocol expects to launch a new Ethereum mining pool after Ethereum moves to PoS to provide built-in insurance for all DYP liquidity providers and further extension and project growth in different areas. 

DeFi Yield Protocol aims to handle whale manipulation and impermanent loss and make the space more accessible to a larger pool of users. Its solutions also aim to automate the yield farming process, providing optimal returns for liquidity providers, which are the industry’s cornerstone.

Orochi Network (ON) Builds the Verifiable Data Layer for Web3 as zkPass Partnership and 49-Chain Expansion Signal Growing Infrastructure Reach

Published

on

Orochi Network has been doing one of the harder things in crypto: building serious cryptographic infrastructure and waiting for the market to care. The wait is beginning to pay off. ON is currently trading around $0.119, up 96.24% from its all-time low of $0.06074 reached on February 10, 2026, with a market cap of approximately $17.2 million and a 24-hour trading volume of $6.7 million. The token sits 72.6% below its all-time high of $0.416 from October 2025 — but the direction of travel over the past five months has been consistently upward from the February floor.

Orochi Network operates as a blockchain-agnostic and proof-system-agnostic Verifiable Data Infrastructure, using three core cryptographic primitives — Zero-Knowledge Proofs, Fully Homomorphic Encryption, and Trusted Execution Environments — to make data operations trustless, provable, and private. That three-layer cryptographic stack is what separates Orochi from single-mechanism privacy protocols — it doesn’t bet on one cryptographic approach, it deploys all three depending on what each specific use case requires.

The Product Suite That’s Already Running

Orochi’s flagship product, zkDatabase, is the world’s first provable NoSQL database. Every data query generates a Zero-Knowledge Proof automatically, enabling auditors, regulators, and smart contracts to verify data correctness without ever accessing sensitive content. For enterprise and institutional use cases — financial compliance, healthcare data, government records — the ability to prove data integrity without revealing the underlying data is the precise capability that has prevented blockchain adoption in regulated industries. zkDatabase solves that at the infrastructure level.

Orand provides a Verifiable Random Function for trustless randomness, while Orocle delivers verifiable oracle feeds without relying on trusted nodes. The oracle market is dominated by Chainlink, but Orochi’s verifiable oracle approach — where every feed is accompanied by a cryptographic proof of origin rather than relying on a reputation-based trusted node network — offers a technically differentiated alternative that’s gaining traction in ZK-native ecosystems where proof composability matters.

Orand and Orocle services are integrated across 49-plus blockchains, while zkDatabase has been adopted by 20-plus blockchains. Cross-chain infrastructure that runs on 49 networks without being tied to any single chain’s success or failure is a meaningful structural advantage — especially as the multi-chain landscape continues to fragment.

The zkPass Partnership and Verifiable Identity

The collaboration with zkPass — building a new foundation for verifiable, privacy-protected data in Web3 — is among the more strategically aligned partnerships in Orochi’s ecosystem. zkPass handles identity verification through zero-knowledge proofs, allowing users to prove attributes about themselves without revealing underlying credentials. Orochi’s verifiable data infrastructure is the natural complement — once identity is verified, every subsequent data interaction that user has on-chain can be provably correct through Orochi’s zkDatabase layer.

That combination of verifiable identity and verifiable data integrity represents the foundational stack that regulated Web3 applications — particularly in RWA tokenization, DeFi compliance, and institutional finance — have been waiting for.

Backed by over $20 million in funding from the Ethereum Foundation, Mina Protocol, Web3 Foundation, and BNB Chain alongside leading venture capital firms, Orochi has grown to support 145-plus partners with more than 160 million transactions processed to date. Grants from protocol foundations rather than purely venture capital is a meaningful signal — it indicates that other blockchain ecosystems view Orochi’s infrastructure as genuinely valuable to their own development rather than simply making a financial bet.

The Supply Structure Worth Understanding

Only 14.4% of the 1 billion maximum ON supply is currently circulating — 144.28 million tokens — with a fully diluted valuation of approximately $81.3 million against the current $17.2 million market cap. With 85.6% of total supply still locked, ON is operating in a very early distribution phase. The gap between FDV and market cap implies either that the market believes the supply will create significant dilution pressure as it unlocks, or that adoption hasn’t yet reached the scale needed to justify the full supply value.

The Binance Alpha and Binance Alpha Airdrops tags on CoinMarketCap reflect a listing pathway that has brought broader retail attention to ON beyond its core technical audience. A trading call citing 25x leverage entry zones on KCEX reflects the speculative layer that sits above the infrastructure fundamentals — ON attracts both audiences simultaneously, which amplifies volatility in both directions.

Orochi’s 2026 goal is to solidify its position as the foundational verifiable data layer for Web3 and institutional finance, scaling zkDatabase, zkDA Layer, Orocle, and Orand modules across global markets to enable secure, auditable data infrastructure for RWA, stablecoins, AI, DeFi, and more. That ambition is coherent and directionally aligned with where institutional Web3 capital is flowing. A $17 million market cap for infrastructure already running on 49 chains with Ethereum Foundation backing is either a significant market oversight or a fair reflection of how early the verifiable data layer category still is.

Mira Network (MIRA) Searches for a Floor as AI Verification Infrastructure Battles Relentless Supply Pressure

Published

on

Mira Network launched on September 26, 2025, with a genuinely differentiated mission — building a decentralized verification layer for AI outputs, solving the hallucination and reliability problem that prevents truly autonomous AI deployment at scale. MIRA’s debut proved well received, starting at $1.25 before quickly doubling to around $1.40. Ten months later, the token is trading around $0.039 — down 97% from its launch price — with a market cap of approximately $7.53 million against a total supply of 1 billion tokens.

MIRA traded down 4% in the most recent 24-hour period with approximately $4.03 million in 24-hour volume — a volume-to-market-cap ratio that reflects still-active trading despite the dramatic price decline. The July 4 surge of 31.2% in a single day on $58 million volume showed the token retains the capacity for sharp moves when sentiment shifts — volume that day was five times the market cap, reflecting intense speculative activity on a thin float.

What Mira Network Actually Solves

Current AI systems produce hallucinations and unreliable outputs, requiring constant human oversight that prevents their deployment as truly autonomous agents. Mira’s verification layer addresses this at the infrastructure level — providing cryptographic verification of AI-generated outputs that allows applications to trust AI results without requiring a human to double-check every response.

The practical implication is significant. Every AI agent deployment in DeFi, enterprise workflows, or autonomous systems today requires a trust assumption about the AI’s output accuracy. Mira’s network creates a decentralized verification mechanism where multiple nodes independently validate AI outputs, enabling applications to deploy AI agents with mathematical confidence in their reliability rather than probabilistic hope.

The platform also allows apps built on its infrastructure to issue their own tokens, using MIRA to unify and convert liquidity — a tokenomics design that creates ecosystem demand for MIRA as the base liquidity layer for all applications built on the network.

The Backing That Validates the Thesis

Prior to launch, Mira Network raised about $10 million. Early angel investors included Balaji Srinivasan, Sandeep Nailwal, and Alex Svanevik, later joined by Framework Ventures, Bitkraft Ventures, and others. That investor roster is notable — Balaji Srinivasan and Sandeep Nailwal are two of the most respected technical investors in the crypto space, and Framework Ventures has a track record of backing protocols that achieve genuine adoption rather than pure speculation.

The Kaito AI Season 2 community campaign distributing $600,000 in MIRA tokens for completing tasks reflects the team’s continued investment in community building — though as CoinMarketCap’s analysis notes, the campaign introduces additional sellable tokens into a market where demand is already weak, making it a short-term supply headwind even as a long-term community growth initiative.

The Supply Structure Governing Everything

The tokenomics model includes a total supply of 1 billion tokens, with more than 191 million currently in circulation. Over the coming years, vested tokens held by early investors, the team, contributors, node operators, and others will gradually be released. Meanwhile, more than 40% of tokens are reserved by the DAO for ecosystem development, partner incentives, governance initiatives, and research efforts.

With only 19% to 28% of tokens currently circulating depending on the data source, MIRA faces one of the most challenging supply dynamics in the AI infrastructure category. Recurring monthly unlocks landing into a market with $4 million in daily volume creates structural downward pressure that product development alone struggles to offset at this stage.

MIRA formed a technical double bottom at $0.041 at the end of June, with trading volume increasing significantly and bullish momentum strengthening. That technical structure was the foundation for the July 4 surge before giving back gains in subsequent sessions. The Nigeria ecosystem expansion and enhanced developer SDK planned for 2026 represent the geographic and technical growth levers the team is pulling to drive organic demand — but adoption in emerging markets moves at a different pace than the unlock schedule.

The AI verification infrastructure thesis that Mira is built on is arguably more relevant in July 2026 than it was at the September 2025 launch — autonomous AI agents are now a mainstream topic rather than a niche discussion. Whether MIRA can attract enough developer adoption to generate genuine network activity before the remaining 80% of supply enters circulation is the question that will define the protocol’s trajectory through the rest of the year.

Radiant Capital Shuts Down After 18-Month Struggle to Recover From $50M Lazarus Group Hack

Published

on

This one doesn’t have a silver lining. On June 1, 2026, the Radiant Capital DAO announced it was winding down operations — ceasing all active development after failing to recover stolen funds or secure new capital following the October 2024 exploit that drained roughly $50 million from the protocol. The shutdown marks the end of what was once one of the more ambitious cross-chain lending projects in DeFi.

RDNT is currently trading at approximately $0.00168, down 3.45% in the past 24 hours — a shadow of its former self. The token peaked near $0.50 in 2023. The collapse from there to effectively zero is one of the starkest examples of what a single catastrophic exploit can do to a protocol’s trajectory.

How the Attack Unfolded

In October 2024, attackers compromised Radiant Capital through a highly advanced malware injection that breached multiple developers’ hardware wallets simultaneously — a sophisticated supply-chain style attack that bypassed the protocol’s multisig security assumptions.

The hack was later attributed to North Korea’s Lazarus Group, and on-chain analysis revealed the group had turned the stolen $53 million into over $102 million by the time the shutdown was announced — a grim detail that underscores both the sophistication of state-sponsored crypto theft and the near-impossibility of recovering from it through legal or on-chain means.

The tactics used in the attack subsequently appeared in other major crypto incidents. In April 2026, Drift Protocol said it had medium-high confidence that the same actors behind the Radiant breach were responsible for a separate exploit against its platform — with the group spending months building trust with contributors through conference meetings and professional contacts before deploying malicious tools.

18 Months of Failed Recovery

What makes Radiant’s story particularly difficult is that the team genuinely tried. For a year and a half after the exploit, the DAO explored paths to recovery — new capital raises, restructuring options, community governance mechanisms. None of it worked.

The protocol had once ranked among the largest cross-chain lending platforms in DeFi, with TVL reaching $386.8 million in December 2023. By early June 2026, TVL had fallen to approximately $1.4 million across chains, with active loans near $866,000 — effectively an empty shell of what the protocol had been.

The DAO’s announcement confirmed there was no viable path forward. Borrowing and incentives have been stopped, and the protocol has entered a maintenance state rather than a full decommission — meaning users can still withdraw funds and manage existing positions, but no new activity is possible.

What Existing Users Need to Do

Radiant Capital has stated it will continue attempts to recover the funds stolen in the 2024 exploit, and affected users can access a remediation portal to seek those funds. That process is likely to be slow and uncertain, but it represents the only remaining avenue for users who suffered losses in the original attack.

For anyone still holding positions in the protocol, the priority is straightforward: existing positions can still be managed, but withdrawal conditions depend on current utilization and market dynamics — and with liquidity declining and yields at zero, waiting carries its own risks. Getting out now rather than hoping for improved conditions is the more prudent approach.

The Radiant shutdown is a case study in what the DeFi industry has been grappling with since the Lazarus Group began targeting protocols systematically — that technical security alone isn’t enough when attackers are willing to spend months infiltrating teams at the human level. Hardware wallet compromises across multiple developers simultaneously suggest an operational security failure that no smart contract audit could have prevented.

RDNT’s price tells the rest of the story.
