Astar zkEVM ReStart -#65 Astar Weekly Journal-
This newsletter will be distributed weekly based on the concept of “an easy weekend recap” of the happenings at Astar Network.
This week, as the incident with Astar zkEVM gradually began to settle, projects that had been halted are now getting back on track. There were many positive updates for the ecosystem, including the debut of new Yoki, the listing of $NINJA on VLS, and HEAL3’s governance tokens being listed on a CEX. Although the launch of Astar zkEVM has increased the number of transactions thanks to Yoki, the total value locked (TVL) has not gathered momentum, so it would be great to boost excitement with tokens like $NINJA and HEAL3!
Let’s review this week’s news.
$NINJA Listing
Overview
The meme coin “$NINJA,” inspired by the NFT project CNP, has been listed on VLS. It appears there was an airdrop to specific NFT holders, but the claim has now ended, and the airdrop site has closed.
Opinion
Finally, $NINJA has been listed. The current DeFi scene is thriving with chains that are leveraging the meme coin narrative. While CNP founder Ikeguchi is not directly involved, he has mentioned $NINJA several times. This represents a great opportunity for both $NINJA and Astar zkEVM to gain more traction.
HEAL3 Announces Governance Token Listing
Overview
HEAL3 has announced that its governance token “GHT” will be listed on MEXC. The listing date and other details are yet to be determined.
Opinion
Direct listing on a high-volume exchange is a testament to its merit. Congratulations! I’m looking forward to the airdrop for HEAL3 users! Haha
Cryptact Supports Astar zkEVM
Overview
The automated profit and loss calculation service “Cryptact” now supports Astar zkEVM. This will simplify tax calculations.
Opinion
This is great news for Astar zkEVM users. At one point, meme coins like $HAHA and $CHICHI were popular on Astar zkEVM, but they have quieted down due to the incident. However, I firmly believe (personal opinion) that Astar zkEVM’s DeFi summer is coming, allowing us to trade freely without worrying about tax filings!
Umbrella Network Integrates with Astar zkEVM
Overview
Umbrella Network, a decentralized oracle service, has integrated with Astar zkEVM. Pyth Network had already supported Astar zkEVM, but now developers can choose from multiple oracle services depending on their needs.
Opinion
In blockchain development, oracles are a crucial factor, so having more options is beneficial. Umbrella Network issues a token called “UMB.” More details about its tokenomics can be found in this article.
That’s all for this week’s news.
Thank you for reading to the end.
