Brevis: The "Smart Engine" Focusing on the Concept of "Infinite Computing Layer"

Project Introduction

Brevis is an off-chain computing engine built on zero-knowledge proofs, positioned as the "infinite computing layer for Web 3 and everything." In simple terms, Brevis enables smart contracts to be "smarter," shifting from passive execution to active computation, saving computing costs while improving efficiency, thus facilitating user interaction with protocols, asset accumulation, and increasing protocol adoption rates. Brevis has garnered high community discussion due to receiving "endorsement" from Vitalik.

Brevis received "endorsement" from Vitalik

Brevis completed a $7.5 million seed round financing last November, led by Polychain and Yzi Labs (for more related content, read: Uncovering Brevis: Gaining Vitalik's Favor, Raising $7.5 Million, How Can the Off-Chain Computing Engine Unlock a New Paradigm for Ethereum?).

Participation Guide

No public fundraising, and the interactive tasks for the first and second phases have ended.

TGE Time

Currently, the registration phase for the BREV airdrop has ended. According to official news, the BREV token will be listed on Binance Alpha today (January 6).

Fogo: A New L1 Based on Solana Virtual Machine (SVM)

Project Introduction

Fogo is a new Layer 1 blockchain based on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), designed to address the performance bottlenecks of existing blockchains and provide a more efficient and cost-effective transaction experience. The project is currently in the developer network (devnet) phase and reportedly has achieved over 54,000 transactions per second. The testnet is expected to launch in the first quarter of this year, with the mainnet anticipated in the second quarter.

According to ROOTDATA data, Fogo has completed seed and community rounds of financing, totaling $13.5 million.

Participation Guide

Fogo originally planned a $20 million token presale (accounting for 2% of total supply) but canceled it. The FOGO tokens intended for presale will now be airdropped to the community, and the 2% of tokens originally allocated to core contributors have been burned. Therefore, it is worth interacting before the snapshot time is announced.

STEP 1. Cross-chain assets from the Solana network to the Fogo network (link: https://portfolio.fogo.io/), you need to connect a Web 3 wallet that supports the Solana network to log in.

STEP 2. Experience Fogo ecosystem projects (link: https://www.fogo.io/ecosystem).

TGE Time

According to official news, Fogo will launch its mainnet on January 13 and will immediately distribute the FOGO token airdrop.

Infinex: Full-Stack DeFi Services

Project Introduction

Infinex is a decentralized finance platform launched by Synthetix founder Kain Warwick in April 2024, aiming to provide products that offer a centralized exchange experience under a decentralized premise, thereby narrowing the usability gap between CeFi and DeFi. The platform optimizes interaction processes and user experience while maintaining asset non-custodianship and on-chain security (for more content, read: Infinex Token Sale New Rules: $0.0099 Locked for One Year, $0.03 Unlocks, Choose One).

Infinex opened its token sale at 2 PM Beijing time on January 3, raising a total of $1.36 million so far (fundraising address link: https://etherscan.io/address/0xb3f6eb4950fd8b10b97d599a39a9e8346bab924a#asset-multichain).

Notably, due to fundraising challenges, Infinex adjusted its public offering rules yesterday, including:

  • Removal of the cap: There is no longer a maximum limit of $2,500; users can invest any amount they wish;
  • Changed to a bottom-up allocation mechanism: We will eliminate random allocation and switch to a water filling allocation mechanism, where everyone's allocation will rise simultaneously and evenly until filled or total supply is exhausted, with any excess contributions refunded;
  • Patron priority remains: Patrons still enjoy allocation priority, but we will finalize specific rules after the sale ends—waiting for real demand data rather than continuing to guess;
  • Lock-up mechanism will not be canceled: We still believe that lock-up can bring long-term benefit consistency to those who truly recognize the product.

Participation Guide

You can still participate in the token sale (link: https://infinex.xyz/sale), with the deadline being January 10.

TGE Time

According to official platform information, the TGE is scheduled after the public sale tokens, tentatively in late January.

StandX: Decentralized Finance Perpetual Contract DEX

Project Introduction

StandX is a decentralized finance project founded by core members of the former Binance contract team, focusing on the combination of synthetic stablecoins and perpetual contract DEX.

  • Founding Background: The core team includes former Binance contract head Aaron Gong and former Binance contract director Justin, who chose to start a business in the emerging on-chain field after leaving Binance in 2024;
  • Project Positioning: StandX aims to integrate the Ethena-style synthetic stablecoin mechanism with the Hyperliquid-style decentralized contract trading model to form a complete financial ecosystem;
  • Vision Goals: The team believes that stablecoins and decentralized contracts are two key tracks in the blockchain industry, and StandX hopes to combine the two through innovative design to provide users with efficient, secure, and transparent trading and stable value storage solutions.

Participation Guide

The StandX trading points for token airdrops are still in the early stages, and ways to earn points include:

Method 1: Deposit DUSD to receive tDUSD (1.2 times points), specific steps are as follows:

  • Mint DUSD using USDT/USDC;
  • Deposit DUSD into the Perps wallet to exchange for tDUSD;
  • Every 1000 tDUSD / day = 1200 points;
  • No loss participation, suitable for newcomers and users not participating in trading.

Method 2: Provide LP, point rules are:

  • DUSD: Each DUSD earns 1 point per day;
  • USDT/USDC: Each USDT/USDC earns 1.2 points per day.

For example, 1000 DUSD + 1000 USDT → 2200 points/day.

Method 3: Earn points through SWAP trading (designated trading pairs), every 100 DUSD in trading volume = 5 points.

This method of earning points has significant wear and tear, so "point farming" participants should be cautious.

Method 4: Invite friends, both parties can receive an additional 5% point bonus.

Method 5: Trade on the StandX mainnet to earn points.

  • If profitable: The more profit, the more tDUSD, the higher the points;
  • If losing: If losses exceed 50% of the initial capital, points will still be given based on 50% of the initial capital.

Daily trading check-in activities are worth participating in; completing two trades over $100 daily will earn you 10 points.

Additionally, StandX has launched a trading points redemption task for special roles on Discord; trading points exceeding 500 can claim the 500 Active Trader Role, limited to wallets registered before February 1. Trading points exceeding 5000 can claim the Hardcore Trader Role, with no time limit; just complete the registration afterward.

TGE Time

Currently, StandX has not hinted at the TGE time, but based on community feedback, the TGE is expected to occur in Q1.
