Get Paid to HODL Crypto: DEFHOLD Comprehensive Review

Published

6 years ago

on

Have you ever thought of saving crypto? Well, this is almost impossible thanks to market volatility characterized by market dumps. While the DeFi sector is rapidly expanding, speculative investors easily liquidate their holdings, causing a rapid sell-off. This leads to a rapid decrease in the value of a DeFi project. DefHold attempts to streamline the DeFi sector by solving inflation and providing incentives to speculative traders to hold cryptocurrencies during market dumps and consequently generate yields on the underlying assets.

DefHold achieves this by implementing new autonomous yield generating solutions. Here’s a comprehensive review of the first non-inflationary staking and farming system designed to reward long-term holders.

DEFHOLD Overview

DefHold describes itself as a non-inflationary DeFi ecosystem that seeks to offer yield generating investments’ strategies to long-term crypto holders. Currently, a conventional means of securing assets during market dumps and pumps is to convert assets to stable coins. The stable coins can thereafter be staked or farmed into various DeFi protocols generating yields on the underlying asset.

But this means of securing assets during markets’ dump and pump has the undergoing of price drop leading to losses. DefHold seeks to reward long-term crypto investors with accurate portfolios and own liquidity’s management by implementing new autonomous yields generating solutions. In the future, the platform will also launch a fully decentralized governance system allowing users to make crucial decisions regarding the project’s future developments and vote on essential network upgrades such as different lock-up periods, transfer fees, vote to launch new tokens, etc.

DEFHOLD Pays You to HODL

DefHold’s innovative non-inflationary staking and farming system pays you to HODL your tokens. The DEFHOLD ecosystem encompasses multiple yields generating mechanisms that compensate investors for holding tokens during a market dump or pump. This offers investors access to multiple revenue streams, i.e., yield-generating investments, without having large capitals.

Unlike most DeFi platforms, which leverage a business model that depends on inflationary tokens, DefHold combats inflation with the capping of DEFO tokens at 12,000 DEFO. The protocol isn’t planning to issue any additional tokens to prevent inflation by ensuring scarcity.

DeFi platforms that employ a business model and issue more tokens often mint these tokens to enhance their APY (Annual Percentage Yield). However, this strategy exposes the market to multiple threats, which could lead to its failure. Also, the value of tokens in circulation always drops in value once a DeFi platform releases additional tokens to the market. Enhanced token inflation coupled with speculative investors’ impulsive actions causes a myriad of problems such as runoff sales that lower the value of a DeFi project.

About DEFO-The Non-Inflationary Yield Generator

DEFO is the DefHold ecosystem’s native token, enabling holders to stake or farm their assets into pools with different predefined lock-up periods. However, investors (farmers and stakers) can still be able to withdraw their assets before the term of the lock-up period at any time by paying an early withdrawal fee (EWF).

DefHold will employ various revenue streams to reward stakers and farmers who have accurately managed their portfolios and their own liquidity requirements. The first revenue stream will be the early withdrawal fee (EWF) charged when stakers and farmers withdraw their assets before the asset lock-up period expiry. The EWF funds are collected then split up among the remaining members.

The second yield generating mechanism is transfer fees. The platform will charge a small transfer fee on every DEFO token’s transfers. The collected fees will then be split proportionally among stakers and farmers.

These 2 revenue-generating mechanisms will continuously generate yields to stakers and farmers in a non-inflationary way. Unlike other DeFi platforms that leverage inflationary tokens to enhance their APY, DefHold will not produce additional DEFO tokens, in turn keeping their supply low. By channeling revenue to the farmers and stakers, DefHold ensures that investors hold on to the investment strategy even during a market dump. 

Revenue Allocation

As mentioned above, DefHold will have two different revenue streams to be shared between the stakers and farmers, i.e. (EWF + Transfer fee). These revenues will be allocated as below:

EWF revenues allocation:

5%: to developer fund

 95%: to stakers/farmers according to their share of their respective pool

 Transfer fee revenues’ allocation:

5%: to developer fund

 40%: to stakers (equally shared between all the staking pools)

 55%: to farmers (equally shared between all the farming pools)

DEFO Staking & Farming

DEFO token powers the DefHold ecosystem. The token has several use cases in the ecosystem. The primary use case is a staking or farming token where users farm/stake their assets in pools with pre-defined lock-up periods using the token. Currently, DefHold users can stake DEFO tokens or farm DEFO/ETH& DEFO/USDT LP tokens. In the future, DefHold seeks to add additional token pools depending on the community proposal.  

The non-inflationary staking & farming pools are as below.

Staking Pools

Pools Lock-up Period EWF
1st Pool 10 days 1% of staked DEFO
2nd Pool 30 days 3.5% of staked DEFO
3rd Pool 60 days 8.2% of staked DEFO
4th Pool 90 days 14.3% of staked DEFO
5th Pool 180 days 33.33% of staked DEFO

 

Farming Pools

Pools Lock-Up Period EWF
1st Pool 10 days 2% of farmed LP tokens
2nd Pool 30 days 7% of farmed LP tokens
3rd Pool 60 days 16.3% of farmed LP tokens
4th Pool 90 days 28.6% of farmed LP tokens
5th Pool 180 days 66.6% of farmed LP tokens

 

How Will DefHold Enhance Liquidity

Liquidity has turned out to be vital for DeFi platforms, especially after the entrance of decentralized exchanges (DEX). To enhance liquidity, DefHold implements two primary mechanisms listed below.

  • EWF and transfer fee revenues are distributed mostly to farmers to enhance their revenues and incentivize them to offer liquidity to the DefHold ecosystem.
  • The platform will conduct a presale using the Liquidity Dividends Protocol (LID). In the sale, 75% of the raised ETH will be allocated to Uniswap liquidity and locked by the smart contracts. This will protect investors against dumping and exit scams.

Closing Words

To conclude, DefHold is a non-inflationary DeFi ecosystem which will transform the DeFi space by providing yield generating investments’ strategies to long-term crypto holders. The platform will surely solve inflation and the problem of impulsive speculative investors who are easy to spook, causing a drop in the value of DeFi projects.

RWA WEEK Singapore Announces New Wave of Institutional Speakers as October Event Draws Closer

Published

2 weeks ago

on

October 6, 2026

By

Singapore, October 6, 2026 — With less than a month to go until RWA WEEK Singapore, the organizers have announced a new wave of confirmed speakers and further details of the week-long program, which will bring together leading institutional investors, regulators, financial infrastructure providers, asset managers, family offices, blockchain founders, and Web3 companies in Singapore from October 5–9, 2026.

RWA WEEK Singapore is set to become one of the region’s key gatherings focused on the rapidly developing real-world asset tokenization economy, bringing together the traditional financial sector and the global digital asset industry at a time when institutional interest in tokenized assets continues to accelerate. The five-day program will feature a series of high-level events, curated investor meetings, private networking opportunities, and institutional discussions culminating in the flagship RWA Summit Singapore on October 9 at Marina One West Tower.

The RWA WEEK program will open on October 5 with THE DEALFLOW, a dedicated gathering for investors, asset managers, family offices, and capital allocators focused on curated networking, investment opportunities, and deal-making. The event is co-hosted by KundaBox. On October 6, TOKENISED VIP Singapore will bring together a highly curated group of institutional investors, RWA SUMMIT speakers, financial institutions, asset managers, family offices, founders, and senior digital asset executives for discussions around real-world tokenization use cases and institutional blockchain adoption. The week will culminate with RWA Summit Singapore on October 9, bringing together the wider RWA ecosystem for a full day of discussions, insights, networking, and business opportunities. The flagship summit is expected to attract more than 1,500 attendees, over 70 speakers, and upwards of 200 investors shaping the future of asset tokenization.

The organizers have also announced a new group of confirmed speakers who will join the previously revealed lineup. The latest additions include Adriel Wong, Head of Private Sector – APAC at TRM Labs; Yalini Isweran, Executive Director, Innovation Strategy at DTCC Digital Assets; Huong T Tran, Founder & Managing Partner at 6igma Ventures; and Melody He, Co-Founder & Partner at Spartan Group; Charles d’Haussy, CEO at dYdX Foundation; Pei Chen, CEO of Theoriq; Peter Kadish, Managing Director at LynxCap Investments. 

The new speakers bring together expertise spanning financial regulation, institutional policy, financial market infrastructure, blockchain intelligence, investment, venture capital, decentralized infrastructure, and digital asset adoption. Their participation further strengthens the institutional focus of the Singapore edition as the RWA sector moves from early experimentation toward practical implementation across global financial markets.

They join an already strong lineup of confirmed speakers, including Yat Siu, Executive Chairman of Animoca Brands; Viv Diwakar, Head of Foundation at Canton; Edwin Mata, Co-Founder & CEO at Brickken; Julian Kwan, Co-Founder & CRO at IXS; 

The growing speaker lineup reflects the broader evolution of the RWA market, where conversations are increasingly moving beyond the concept of tokenization itself toward the infrastructure, regulation, compliance, liquidity, custody, investment structures, and institutional frameworks required for tokenized assets to scale. The presence of senior representatives from organizations such as the Monetary Authority of Singapore, DTCC Digital Assets, and TRM Labs highlights the growing intersection between traditional financial infrastructure and the digital asset ecosystem.

RWA WEEK has also continued to expand its network of strategic partners supporting the Singapore edition. LYNXCAP Investments, dYdX, InvestaX, GeoTicker, Pharos and Theoriq are among the strategic partners of RWA WEEK Singapore, while TRM Labs joins the program specifically as Co-Host of TOKENISED VIP Singapore. The event is produced by UVECON.VC, a company of UVC GROUP.

RWA WEEK has established a growing international presence across major financial and digital asset hubs including Hong Kong, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Seoul, and Singapore. Previous editions of RWA Summit have attracted hundreds of participants and leading voices from finance, digital assets, investment, and regulation. The Hong Kong edition welcomed more than 750 attendees and over 50 speakers, while the Dubai edition brought together representatives from leading Web3 companies, investment funds, exchanges, and regulatory organizations.

Singapore represents a particularly important destination for the next edition of RWA WEEK given the city’s position as a global financial center and its role in the development of digital asset regulation, financial innovation, and institutional blockchain infrastructure. As banks, asset managers, investment firms, and technology companies increasingly explore tokenized funds, securities, private credit, real estate, and other real-world assets, Singapore is emerging as one of the key markets where traditional finance and blockchain-based infrastructure are converging.

“We are witnessing the RWA market transition from experimentation to real institutional integration,” said Ivan V. Ivanov, Co-Founder of UVECON.VC, UVC GROUP and RWA WEEK. “RWA WEEK is designed to bring together the different sides of this market — institutional capital, financial infrastructure, regulators, technology providers, and Web3 innovators — and create an environment where meaningful partnerships, capital allocation, and real-world tokenization use cases can emerge. The strength of the Singapore lineup demonstrates how quickly this sector is developing.”

With only weeks remaining before RWA WEEK Singapore, preparations for the event are now entering their final stage. Interest from institutional participants, investors, founders, and industry professionals continues to build as the October program approaches, with attendees encouraged to secure their access ahead of the event.

RWA WEEK Singapore will take place October 5–9, 2026, with RWA Summit Singapore taking place on October 9 at Marina One West Tower.

Blockchain

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

Published

3 months ago

on

July 23, 2026

By

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.
