2. New Project Insights

Polaris is a self-expanding stablecoin operating system aimed at DeFi, with the core goal of addressing the issues of stablecoins relying on external incentives and unsustainable yields. It achieves this through a triple-engine design consisting of a bonding curve, conversion mechanism, and CDP, which internalizes the price fluctuations of pETH into protocol revenue, allowing the system to automatically generate and amplify yields as usage scales up, thereby providing a more sustainable and systematic source of revenue for stablecoins without bearing counterparty or credit risk.

Probable is a prediction market protocol deployed on BNB Chain, aiming to allow users to price and trade around event outcomes in a decentralized manner, thus converting market expectations into quantifiable price signals. Probable is supported by the PancakeSwap ecosystem and backed by YZi Labs, positioning itself as the native prediction market infrastructure within the BNB Chain ecosystem, focusing on high-frequency, low-barrier event trading needs, and promoting the practical application and liquidity accumulation of prediction markets within the public chain ecosystem.

SectorOne is a native decentralized exchange within the MegaETH ecosystem, which refines capital allocation within price ranges through a dynamic liquidity market-making mechanism, enhancing capital efficiency and trading depth. SectorOne focuses on high-performance liquidity layers, balancing traders' needs for low slippage and high execution efficiency, as well as liquidity providers' goals of risk control and yield optimization, aiming to become the foundational DEX for spot trading and liquidity distribution within the MegaETH ecosystem.

These include ecological growth, MegaETH decentralization, MegaETH performance, and Ethereum decentralization.
