🔸 @ What are the differences between the four LSTs on monad_xyz? How to participate? 🚩 key point ▪️ MEV driven @ apr_1abs: highest financing, Monad joint venture investment, and widest LST integration range. It is worth paying close attention to. ▪️ Modular and strategy driven @ 0xFastLane: The ranking of Frontrunner Bot activities may become the key to future rewards. ▪️ The LST protocol for community governance @ Kintsu_xyz: Holding the Kintsu beta pass NFT will receive early bird benefits, and the Kintsu OG role in DC is worth fighting for. ▪️ DAO owned distributed validator LST protocol @ MagmaStaking: will distribute Magma tokens through a points program. 1/aPriori @Apr_1abs is a MEV driven platform for predicting flow properties. 💰 Financing situation APriori has raised over $10.7 million in funding, led by Pantera, Arrington, and Hashed, with participation from top venture capitalists such as Yzi Labs, OKX, and ABCDE. Angel investors include well-known project co founders such as Monad Co Creation Keone, Etherfi Co Creation Mike, and Jito Co Creation Zano. 🚩 Basic Introduction By pledging MON on aPriori, users can not only receive LST profits from aprMON, but also MEV rewards. MEV refers to the additional income obtained by validators through sorting transactions. APriori aims to build a MEV market for Monad to reduce junk TX and increase validator incentives. 🧵 How to participate? Navigate to the testing website, Stake/Unstake/Faucet： https://stake. (apr.io)/ In addition to interacting with Dapps, you can also try to obtain their DC roles. Add ⌘ after the Twitter username to obtain Laprer Role, and active users who post can obtain Philosopher Role. aPriori Discord：https://((discord.com))/invite/apriori 2/Fastlane @0xFastLane is a team dedicated to developing MEV infrastructure. 💰 Financing situation Fastlane has raised $8.3 million in funding, led by Multicoin, Figement, and DBA, with participation from top venture capitalists such as Coinbase, Robot, and Hashkey. Angel investors include Marcin and Jakub, two co founders of Redstone, and CEO&COO Saeed and Anthony of Wormhole. 🚩 Basic Introduction Fastlane Labs has deployed on Base/Orbitrum/Polygon and obtained over 2.3 billion MATICs on Polygon. At present, it is focused on accelerating the development of the Monad ecosystem and has launched shMONAD. ShMONAD is a modular, strategy driven LST system. Users can obtain shMON by pledging MON, and can bind shMON to different policies. Each strategy has an independent lock up period and return model - equivalent to different return pools. 🧵 How to participate? Stake MON： https://shmonad.xyz/ Bind shMON to a certain strategy: https://shmonad.xyz/commit The interactive integration of shMON's ecological Dapp: https://shmonad.xyz/ecosystem In addition, Fastlane has also launched the "Frontrunner Bot", a practical gamified simulation environment based on MEV, where players can race and package trades: https://shmonad.xyz/frontrunner Note: The ranking of this game may become the core criterion for future rewards. Github Guide: https://(github.com)/FastLane-Labs/break-monad-frontrunner-bot-py 3/Kintsu @Kintsu_xyz is a community driven liquidity pledge protocol. 💰 Financing situation Kintsu has completed a seed round financing of $4 million, led by Castle Island, with participation from Animoca, Spartan, CMS Holdings, and others. Angel investors include Wormhole's Robinson and Lido's Relationship Manager Marin. 🚩 Basic Introduction Kintsu has launched sMON LST, which, although both are LST protocols, is unique in its "community driven and decentralized governance" approach, emphasizing decentralization. The community can stake KSU tokens into an NFT and vote to determine which validators can receive MON staking distribution. As long as the minimum KSU staking threshold in NFTs is reached, the community can create governance proposals and automatically execute them without the need for approval from the core team. 🧵 How to participate? Navigate to the testing website and pledge MON as sMON: https://kintsu.xyz/staking Obtaining Kintsu Beta Pass, the official suggests that holders will receive early bird benefits: https://(magiceden.io)/item-details/monad-testnet/0x51e6da0e284609cd96e3134b12e94b4c4f0ca241/0 Key Kintsu OG characters can be obtained within Kintsu DC. You can check the specific ways to obtain them: https://kintsu.xyz/blog/kintsu-og-role-expectations-and-pathway 4/Magma @MagmaStaking is a distributed validator LST protocol owned by DAO. 💰 Financing situation Magma has completed a seed round financing of $3.9 million, with participation from top venture capitalists such as Animoca and CMS Holdings. Angel investors include Mike from Etherfi Eigenlayer COO Alan。 🚩 Basic Introduction Compared to other LST protocols, Magam has two major characteristics: DAO ownership and distributed validator. DAO refers to a decentralized organizational entity, where DAO members will be responsible for governing Magma. In addition, Magma is building a distributed validator network (DVT) on Monad. Simply put, DVT divides the responsibilities of a verifier into multiple nodes to complete together, and everyone "groups" to be the verifier. Therefore, this mode will be more secure and decentralized. 🧵 How to participate? As stated in the Doc, Magma will fairly distribute tokens through its points program. At present, the points panel has been activated on its testing website: https://www.magmastaking.xyz/points Pledge MON to obtain gMON: https://www.magmastaking.xyz/ Participate in the integration of gMON applications: https://www.magmastaking.xyz/ecosystem In addition, as Magma is an LST protocol owned by DAO, it is expected that its DC role will play a key role, attempting to obtain Gecko Guy/Dragon Role: https://((discord.com))/invite/magmastaking
