boss: "are you really going to pitch me a $14 coin?" me: "yes - i'd die on this hill" & the rest was history. as a fund manager, its always essential to consider the timing / stage of the cycle we are at when choosing your investments. special s/o to @davidtohyh for being the first boss to empower my ideas & @Defi_Maestro for being the first mentor who levelled me up
Hyperliquid led with a product users love, prioritizing demand over infrastructure and laying the foundation for a thriving ecosystem. Here’s our thesis on why it's shaping up to be the category leader (co-authored with @hypurr_co): 🧵👇

setting the foundation for institutional adoption of web 3 technology bit by bit. together, tomantle 🍅
Real-world credentials were never built to be trusted at scale. With @Accredify_io on Mantle, that changes. Bringing ZK-native verifiable credentials onchain, the kind enterprises and governments already trust, proves that the distribution layer is becoming the institutional standard.

Mantle has become one of the fastest growing L2s of 2026. TVL has climbed from around $135M to a $682M all-time high. The catalyst was Aave's deployment paired with an 8M MNT incentive program from Mantle. Demand has been deep enough that supply caps have been raised repeatedly on Mantle markets. Every major exchange has talked about bridging users into DeFi for years. Mantle and Bybit are aiming to make this happen end to end. If the capital stays once the rewards end, Mantle could be the proof case for turning exchange users into onchain users at scale.

cooking with my buddy @hypetris_ together, tomantle 🍅
Trading assets on Mantle got smarter the moment tab switching became optional. With @elfa_ai, you can query any asset, get real-time social alpha and setup trades across @Fluxion_network, all without leaving the terminal. Powered by the distribution layer, connecting them all.

Bear market across DeFi. Mantle Network TVL grew from $167M to $646M in Q1, nearly 3x, while the broader market contracted. Institutional capital doesn't need hype to move. It needs compliant rails, real yield, and infra it can trust. The rails are ready on @Mantle_Official . Keep the MoMNTum! #toMantle 🍅
Somehow, March is already over, and so is Q1. Wild how fast time flies when you're too locked in on building and shipping. From milestones that rewrote the records, AI going from narrative to native, and a CeDeFi flywheel that refuses to slow down, here's everything we shipped and what went down 👇 1) Mantle total deposits on @aave hit $1B in just 18 days, the fastest ever. 2) In just two weeks, Mantle surpassed $1.34B in total market size on Aave, ranking 3rd across all global markets. 3) Mantle DeFi TVL crossed $755M with over 230% growth in 6 months, outpacing several major chains for the first time, per @DefiLlama. 4) Mantle's Stablecoin Market Cap reached a new ATH of ~$955M ( 120% YoY), per @Dune. 5) Mantle is officially the 4th chain to surpass $600M @USDT0_to supply on Aave. 6) $wrsETH by @KelpDAO on Mantle crossed $100M in total supply on Aave. 7) Mantle Vault on Bybit Onchain Earn crossed $200M in TVL, powered by @CIAN_protocol. 8) Printr integrated with @Fluxion_network as its official DEX for token graduation on Mantle. 9) @printr MCP server went live on Mantle, deploy tokens with a single tool call. 10) SuperMantle content arena with @solana, @byreal & more concluded with 1K creators three separate bonus tracks (winners announced). 11) Winners for Mantle Squad Bounty #1: Decode Mantle Vaults revealed with 1K entries across 5 regions. 12) @BlockSt_HQ and its native token, $BSB went live on Mantle, now available for trading and liquidity provision via Fluxion. 13) @byreal_io shipped its AI agent via @openclaw to directly trade $MNT. 14) The streak for seasonal incentive campaigns with @Bybit_Official continues, from Earn Carnival to Puzzle Hunt and recurring DCA buys. 15) @Alpha_Bybit integrated Mantle Chain, expanding multi-chain access for Mantle native assets ft. @SCORProtocol, @vooi_io, @HeyElsaAI, and more. 16) @birdeye_data and Fluxion now supports real-time market intelligence and deep liquidity infrastructure on Mantle. 17) Launched When AI Meets Mantle, our first ever initiative empowering creators to build AI workflows, agents, and concepts on Mantle - ends March 31. 18) Shipped AI Agent Skills & Scaffold, new tools for developers & builders to build and deploy AI agents natively on Mantle. 19) @mETHProtocol's latest February Onchain Report dropped, highlighting continued growth from asset to net inflows on Mantle. 20) @3janexyz offers up to 30% unsecured USDC credit lines against $MNT with zero over-collateralization, another level of capital efficiency unlocked. 21) @0xMantleCN & @HackQuest_ joined forces to ascend the builder economy at OpenClaw Meetup, Shenzhen. 22) @EverclearOrg's integrated with Mantle, enabling one-click swap of stablecoins from any supported chains to Aave in a single transaction. 23) @matchaxyz added support for $sUSDe, $syrupUSDT, $GHO, $wrsETH on Mantle with full cross-chain swap capabilities. 24) Together with @virtuals_io, Mantle is adopting of ERC-8183, the open standard for agentic commerce, bringing fully autonomous agent transactions to our RWA economy. One absolute Mantle quarter down with a banger. As the RWAvolution rolls into a new quarter, the MoMNTum remains inevitable. And no, this isn't an early April Fools joke. Onwards.

Fresh off @DefiLlama: Mantle has outpaced multiple major chains in DeFi TVL for the first time, crossing $755M with over 230% growth in 6 months. MoMNTum, undeniable.

Bybit CEO Ben: Exchange Offers Retail-Style Bank Accounts Bybit CEO Ben said Bybit will start offering retail-style bank accounts. After completing KYC, users can receive a personal IBAN under their own name, starting with USD. The account can be used for salary receipts, bill payments, and large purchases, aiming to reduce disruptions caused by bank risk controls when users move fiat in and out.
