EigenLayer: Slashing mechanism is now live on the mainnet Ethereum re-staking protocol EigenLayer published a post on X platform stating that its slashing mechanism has been launched on the mainnet and the protocol committee has completed the upgrade execution.

Etherlink’s TVL has surged 12x to over $18 million as the Apple Farm incentive program accelerates ecosystem adoption and DeFi activity. Etherlink , the EVM-compatible Layer 2 built on Tezos Smart Rollups, has seen significant growth since transitioning from its beta phase in February. Central to this growth is the $3m Apple Farm rewards initiative, which has surpassed expectations by pushing Etherlink’s total value locked (TVL) from $1.4 million to over $18 million within weeks. The Apple Farm program has been instrumental in driving user engagement and transaction activity across Etherlink’s dApps. IguanaDEX, a decentralized exchange on the network, recorded $150 million in trading volume as users pursued reward opportunities and engaged in arbitrage trading. “The success of Apple Farm demonstrates the effectiveness of our approach to incentive programs and the development of this ecosystem,” said David Relkin, Head of DeFi for the Tezos ecosystem, Nomadic Labs. A recent Messari report highlights the significant growth of the Etherlink ecosystem, noting consistent growth in user accounts and transaction volumes, with over 50 projects currently building on the platform. DeFi protocol Superlend has emerged as a key player in the ecosystem, amassing $16.93 million in deposits and $10.49 million in active loans. Etherlink’s technical architecture has also seen notable upgrades. The March deployment of the Calypso network upgrade introduced 30x faster smart contract storage, a smaller disk footprint for operator nodes, and increased resilience to network surges. These enhancements are designed to support growing throughput and pave the way for faster tez withdrawals between Etherlink and Tezos. Further expansion is expected following the launch of the 2025 cohort of the Fortify Labs program, hosted by TZ APAC. The cohort includes seven projects primarily building on Etherlink, including BluWhale AI (decentralized analytics), IDRX (an Indonesian Rupiah-pegged stablecoin), and Miomi Game (an eSports platform).

Here's a strategic trading outlook and plan for $WCT (WalletConnect Token) in 2025, based on current trends and technical positioning: 1. Strategic Views on $WCT in 2025 Fundamental Outlook: Use Case Strength: $WCT powers the WalletConnect protocol, which is a critical layer for connecting wallets and dApps in Web3. If DeFi and Web3 adoption grows, WCT utility could increase. Infrastructure Play: WalletConnect is deeply integrated across major platforms like MetaMask, Uniswap, Trust Wallet — giving WCT long-term credibility. Token Utility: Watch for actual utility of WCT (fees, governance, staking). If it stays a speculative asset only, price action will rely heavily on market sentiment. Sentiment in 2025: Moderate Bullish Bias: As of Q2 2025, market recovery from the 2024 downturn is underway. If Bitcoin continues gaining, altcoins like WCT could follow. Speculative Potential: WCT is not a meme coin, but it's also not a top 20 asset — so it rides waves of niche hype or ecosystem announcements. 2. Technical Trading Plans (2025) Short-Term (Swing Trading): Buy Zone: $0.30 – $0.36 (historical support zones) Target 1: $0.50 Target 2: $0.70 Stop Loss: Below $0.28 (invalidate bullish structure) Use RSI and MACD for confirmation. Only enter if volume is rising. Mid-Term (Position Trading): Accumulation Zone: Any consolidation between $0.30–$0.40 Hold Period: 2–6 months Upside Target: $0.90–$1.20 (if WalletConnect launches utility-based features) Long-Term Strategy (HODL or 2025–2027): Bull Case Target: $1.50+ Bear Case Risk: Drops below $0.20 if no dev updates or community growth 3. Risk Management Tips Portfolio Size: Limit WCT to 5–10% of your crypto bag unless you have high conviction. Stagger Buys: Use DCA (dollar-cost averaging) on dips rather than lump sum buys. Exit Smart: Set laddered take-profits at 2x, 3x, 5x levels. Use trailing stop-loss once profits hit. 4. Events to Watch in 2025 WalletConnect v3 protocol updates Major exchange listings (Binance, Coinbase, etc.) dApp integrations or DAO governance launches Bullish catalysts like partnerships in DeFi/Metaverse/AI sectors Want a custom trading plan based on your risk level or budget? Or should I pull up a recent WCT chart and mark trade zones?
