INIT proved DeFi could be accessible through one-click Liquidity Hooks. @infinit_labs is scaling that vision—building the Agentic DeFi Economy to make any multi-step strategy executable in a single transaction. The INIT community helped validate the foundational belief: that sophisticated DeFi can be simple. That’s why INIT Points will be converted to IN tokens at INFINIT’s upcoming TGE. Eligibility: • INIT app users with INIT Points (earned via lending, borrowing, or Liquidity Hooks) • Discord members with earned roles (Tier 1–3, Golden Ticket, Mastermind)— make sure to submit your wallet address in the INIT Discord to be eligible The IN token and claim portal will go live on August 7th.

INIT remains the no. 1 money market on @Mantle_Official So far, INIT achieved: • $1.3B Total Value Facilitated • 107k Users • 5k Hook Positions 10 assets. 9 Liquidity Hooks. Seamless looping and margin trading strategies. The liquidity backbone on Mantle runs on.

The INIT Point System Phase 2: Liquidity Hook Era has officially ended. 100,000 users participated in this phase. Liquidity hooks and markets continue to operate as normal. Stay tuned for updates on INIT Points.

Methamorphosis Season 3 is counting down. Select your strategies: 10x Powder for $COOK? → Deposit cmETH Up to 50x Powder for $COOK? → Neutral cmETH Looping Hook Up to 30x Powder for $COOK while speculating ETH price? → Long cmETH Looping Hook

2 ways of collecting Powder for $COOK in @mETHProtocol Season 3: Normal users: Deposit 1 cmETH, receives 10x Powder. INIT users: - Open a 3x Long cmETH Looping Hook position using 1 cmETH. - Position value: 3 cmETH. - 30x Powder from 1 cmETH principal with 3x leveraged exposure. Choose wisely.

Following the wind-down of @ThrusterFi, it is recommended to wind down your positions on INIT on Blast. Thruster is the main DEX on Blast. And without Thruster, the liquidity on Blast is expected to be lower across ecosystem. As a result, for safety measure, INIT will no longer support creating new borrowing positions on Blast, and we recommend winding down existing positions on INIT on Blast. Positions on INIT on Mantle are not affected and remain fully functional.

Acing @ethena Season 4 doesn't require that much funds. Get up to 100x Sats on your USDe position using 5x leverage with the USDe Looping Hook on INIT, supercharging your Sats. Stack more Sats using the same amount of funds on INIT.
