The bull market is a time when narrative means everything to crypto projects. As the current market is in a growth phase, many projects are showing hundreds of multiples, but few hunters can understand the correlation between them.

Meta-game is a complex and esoteric concept in the field of encryption, involving game theory and behavioral economics. It includes underlying mechanisms, behavioral changes, best response functions, and reflex loops. Metagames inspire narratives through catalysts, influence price movements, and form reflexive loops through behavioral changes among market participants. Metagames can be self-enhancing or self-defeating, affecting their duration and trading strategies. The article uses examples such as the ETH killer trade, Facebook’s rebranding to Meta, and BTC ETF flows to demonstrate how the metagame works and how investors can identify and exploit these games to gain value.

This article introduces how the Axonum platform integrates AI into Ethereum, enabling native AI model inference within smart contracts through OP Rollup and AI EVM. This has significant implications and potential for the development of decentralized ecosystems.

MakerDAO has launched PureDai, a new stablecoin designed to be fully decentralized. PureDai’s key features include a floating target price, decentralized high-quality collateral, highly decentralized oracles, minimal governance, permanent positioning on the Ethereum mainnet, and simple token economics. PureDai is not guaranteed to be pegged to the U.S. dollar, but instead uses a free-floating peg that may introduce negative target interest rates in response to high demand. PureDai will also have its own governance token, with an initial supply of 2 billion, distributed through NewStable mining, used to subsidize the generation of PureDai and act as a backstop in the event of bad debt

In the SocialFi (social finance) space, Friend.tech, Farcaster and Phaver are three projects worthy of attention. Friend.tech regained market attention with its V2 version, which introduced several innovative features and enhanced token models, such as the “Money Club” feature, to increase user engagement and platform utility. However, Friend.tech faces user retention and economic model sustainability challenges. Farcaster provides a highly modular and composable platform with its decentralized social network mechanism and open-source design. Phaver launched the $SOCIAL token to enhance the interactivity and reward mechanism of its ecosystem, emphasizing incentives for user contribution and participation. The innovative attempts of these platforms aim to solve the problems of insufficient user activity and imbalanced economic models in the SocialFi field.

The EthStorage team proposed the web3:// access protocol and the EthStorage second-layer storage protocol, aiming to help decentralized applications (DAPP) achieve true trustlessness. Most of the current DAPP front-ends and databases are not deployed on Ethereum and cannot fully inherit the security of Ethereum. The web3:// protocol allows front-end code to be deployed and accessed through smart contracts, while the EthStorage protocol reduces on-chain data storage costs through PoRA and zero-knowledge proofs. These two technologies enable DAPP to get closer to Ethereum’s decentralized vision and achieve permanent operation and censorship resistance.

Nyan Heroes is an FPS shooting game that combines features of both Web2 and Web3, developed by the 9 Lives Interactive team from Singapore. The game tells the story of a cat piloting a giant mech to save the world, featuring gameplay similar to "Overwatch" but with added parkour elements. The team behind Nyan Heroes has extensive experience in the gaming industry, having been involved in the development of several well-known games. After releasing a Pre-Alpha demo version on the Epic Games Store, Nyan Heroes attracted a large number of players to register and download. The NYAN token associated with Nyan Heroes will be used for community incentives, including season airdrops and in-game rewards. The game also collaborates with the Solana ecosystem NFT marketplace Magic Eden and has garnered support from multiple gaming platforms including Razer and Immutable. Nyan Heroes aims to provide players with a high-quality gaming experience while leveraging blockchain technology to achieve sustainability in gaming.

This article compares the smart contract programming models of Solana and Ethereum. Solana's on-chain programs are similar to Ethereum's smart contracts, but Solana offers a different runtime environment through its unique account model and data decoupling approach. Solana's account model separates code and data storage, enhancing security. Solana primarily uses the Rust language for smart contract development, which offers high performance and security but has a steep learning curve. Ethereum, on the other hand, mainly uses Solidity, providing a simpler and more mature development experience. Despite the development challenges with Solana, its high throughput, low costs, and scalability make it an ideal choice for developing high-performance dApps.

Catizen is a cat game built on the TON ecosystem. It combines Metaverse, GameFi and AI technologies to launch an innovative play-to-airdrop mode, allowing players to earn future airdrops in the game. Catizen is the leading project in the Gamefi Bot track in the TON ecosystem and has attracted 5.66 million game players and 193,000 on-chain users. The project has received support from well-known investment institutions such as TON and Web3 Ventures, and plans to transform Catizen into a Telegram gaming platform and launch more games. The total amount of Catizen Tokens is 1 billion, of which 35% is used for ecology and airdrops. Currently, players can participate in the airdrop expectations through krypton gold.

Puffer Finance is a native liquidity re-staking platform built on Eigenlayer. It accumulates PoS and re-staking rewards by introducing native liquidity re-staking tokens (nLRT). Puffer's core mission is to maintain the decentralization of Ethereum, while increasing capital efficiency and reducing risk. It utilizes security aggregator technology and Secure-Signer remote signing tools to enhance security and minimize potential violation risks. Puffer's liquidity staking protocol is designed to be decentralized, and does not rely on DAO voting to add new validators, promoting a more diverse validator set. Furthermore, Puffer is developing ZK-2FA technology to strengthen the security of ZK-rollups.

"Blade of God X" (BOGX) is an action role-playing game combining elements of Norse mythology and Cthulhu. It integrates AI Agent technology to enhance player interactivity and gaming experience. Developed by Void Labs, the game adopts a Souls-like style where players make choices that impact their fate. BOGX uses an AI Agent system that enables AI to execute complex strategies and decisions and improves its autonomy and efficiency through reinforcement training. The game also plans to introduce on-chain random numbers and other components to enable AI to generate unique game content.

Modular blockchain is not just a technological shift but also a crucial strategy to drive the entire blockchain ecosystem toward future challenges. We will dissect the concept of modular blockchain, analyze related projects, and provide a comprehensive, practical interpretation of modular blockchain knowledge to help readers better understand. At the same time, we will also look ahead to future development trends. If the ecosystem can be more harmonious and interconnected, users will be able to use blockchain technology more easily, which will also attract more new users to Web3.
