BeWater Weekly (March 19–March 25) 📰 Key News (1) BlackRock and Securitize Expand $1.7B Tokenized Money Market Fund BUIDL to Solana BlackRock's BUIDL fund, a $1.7B tokenized money market fund that first launched on Ethereum in 2023, has expanded to the Solana blockchain. The fund, composed of cash and U.S. Treasury bonds, is expected to reach $2B in size by April and is already live on seven blockchains, including Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum. The expansion to Solana highlights the increasing adoption of blockchain-based financial products by major asset management firms, with Solana chosen for its speed, scalability, and cost efficiency. According to https://t.co/xDaa9mXwWf, despite the fund's size, only 62 wallets currently hold BUIDL on-chain. (2) Trump Boosts $TRUMP Memecoin by $400M with Truth Social Post President Trump mentioned the official Trump memecoin in a "Truth Social" post, calling it the "greatest memecoin," which temporarily increased its market cap by $400M. The token's price surged from $10.91 to $12.11, an 11% increase, before settling around $11.46, resulting in a net increase of approximately 5%, or $100M, in market capitalization. GeckoTerminal data showed trading volumes surged to their highest levels since March as traders reacted to Trump's endorsement.

🌄FN Exclusive | Why Does Everyone Keep Supporting ADA? The Survival Strategy of Cardano's NarrativeInterestingly, the token that surged the most following Trump’s recent announcement was actually $ADA, so it’s worth digging into 🧐🧶 Political Chips: The Founder’s "Washington Network"The core driving force behind ADA's recent surge points directly to its founder Charles Hoskinson's political and business connections. As early as November 2024, Hoskinson hinted at his "close relationship" with core members of Trump's team, claiming he was pushing for bipartisan legislation in the crypto industry. In early 2025, Input Output Global (IOG), the development company behind Cardano, announced the establishment of a "Cryptocurrency Regulatory Policy Office," planning to engage with "key leadership positions" in the U.S. government.This kind of political lobbying has proven effective before. In 2021, Cardano garnered market attention through its partnership with the Ethiopian government on a "Blockchain Education System." Although the project ultimately fell through, ADA's market cap still exceeded 70 billion USD as a result. Hoskinson understands the survival laws of the crypto industry: in a regulatory gray area, "close encounters" with policymakers are far more capital-attractive than technical implementation.🛶 From "Japanese Gem" to "American Made": A History of Identity ShiftIt is worth mentioning that #Cardano’s early label was "Japanese public chain." In 2017, 95% of the funds for its initial coin offering (ICO) came from Japanese investors, and the leading fundraising Japanese company Emurgo even packaged it as the "Japanese Ethereum." This identity became a talisman during the bear market—when European and American regulators were cracking down on ICOs, Japan's relatively lenient policies provided ADA with a safe harbor.However, Hoskinson’s ambitions extend beyond this. As U.S. crypto policies gradually opened up, Cardano began accelerating its "de-Japanization." The team has repeatedly emphasized its "pure American heritage": headquartered in Colorado, with one of the Ethereum co-founders as its founder, and technical development led entirely by an American team. Trump’s tweet incorporating ADA into the "U.S. Strategic Reserve" marks a highlight of its identity transformation—once relying on Japanese pensions to support its market cap, the project has now transformed into a "representative of American digital assets."🚀 Fluid Narratives, Solid Price Manipulation: Cardano's Bull Market ScriptLooking back at Cardano's bull market history, it appears to be a "history of riding the hype":▪️2018 Bear Market: Focused on "academic blockchain," wrapping technical barriers in peer-reviewed papers and Haskell programming language;▪️2021 Bull Market: Transitioned to "green public chain," attracting ESG funds with the concept of "carbon neutrality";▪️2024 Cycle: Bound to the "Bitcoin Layer2" narrative, announcing the development of cross-chain protocols without new tokens;▪️2025 Outbreak: Riding the wave of Trump's policy, becoming a "national-level crypto reserve asset."Each narrative shift has precisely hit market sentiment, but ecological progress has consistently lagged behind. As of March 2025, the total value locked (TVL) on the Cardano chain stood at only 350 million USD, accounting for less than 5% of Solana; the number of daily active addresses has long hovered below 100 thousand; in stark contrast, its staking data shows: a staking volume of 23.34 billion USD ranks fourth among PoS chains, with a staking rate of 60.1% indicating that holders prefer to "earn passively" rather than participate in ecological construction.🪄 Tokens as Products: The Market Cap Alchemy of ADAArthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, once mocked: "Cardano’s market cap isn’t created by code; it’s drawn up in a PPT." Its market cap management strategy shows multiple logics: firstly, technological futures: the team excels at transforming academic concepts into capital expectations. The Hydra scaling solution launched in 2023 claimed "one million TPS," but upon actual implementation, it was only used for NFT minting; the "Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem" plan proposed for 2025 has yet to disclose any code but has already pushed ADA up by 40%. Secondly, policy arbitrage: from partnerships with African governments to lobbying U.S. legislation, Cardano continually converts geopolitical maneuvers into market cap fuel. The ultimate result is that for Cardano, the token is the product; in the last three bull markets, ADA's price increase has been prominent, but each bear market has seen declines of up to 90%.As for how far this wave of policy narrative can go?

📖 Research: Rise ChainTwitter account analyticsScore: 488Influencers who are subscribed to the account: @0xMaki, @MarioNawfal, @sassal0xVCs who are subscribed to the account: @scupytrooples (Egirl Capital), @0xRodney (AngelList), @Ng888888Ng (THE LAO)Brief@rise_chain is a next-generation L2 blockchain solution that aims to achieve 100k TPS and introduces a groundbreaking concept called Gigagas. Despite its advanced technology, Rise Chain is accessible to everyone — from highly skilled developers to everyday blockchain users.VisionThe team prioritizes understandability for all layers of the user pyramid and is committed to transparency in reviewing key metrics that reflect the blockchain's performance.Additionally, the Rise Chain code is completely open source. Any user can access the source code on GitHub.Rise Chain represents a transformation that paves the way for a whole new generation of blockchain applications.Technology Metrics:> Gigagas throughput: 1+ Ggas/s> TPS: 100k> Web2 like latency: <10msTechnical descriptionEarlier, I mentioned GPS, which is one of the key concepts that Rise Chain embraces.GPS (Gas Per Second) is a new measure of throughput that the Rise Chain team is actively promoting. This metric is calculated by dividing the total gas used over a specific period by the total number of seconds.While this metric may be less known to users, it provides a more accurate representation than TPS.Here is an example:Blockchain X supports 1000 TPS, but there are no specifics here. A user could transfer $ETH, perform a DEX swap, or mint an NFT during a gas war. You won’t know if it’s 1000 ETH transfers, swaps, or something else.On the other hand, if blockchain Y supports 10 Megagas/s, you can be sure that it translates to 500 $ETH transfers per second.This metric is fair both to developers who are new to the blockchain and are familiarizing themselves with the development environment, and to users who are investing their money in the token.To help you better understand how gas is spent, we’ve included a table showing which actions consume gas and in what quantities.Architecture Having analyzed the basic concepts underlying blockchain, let's move on to the architecture. You can see it in the picture below.Execution 1. PEVM (Parallel Ethereum Virtual Machine) is an open-source smart contract execution system based on EVM that supports parallel execution of transactions. Its main purpose is to enhance the performance and scalability of the blockchain. 2. Continuous Execution is a concept that allows blocks to be processed and executed continuously, without waiting for previous blocks to finish processing.State Access 1. Versioned Merkle Trees (VMT) is a data structure that tracks changes in data and ensures its integrity. The basic idea is that every change in the data results in a change to the root hash of the tree, making it easy to verify if the data has been altered. Let me explain with an example: You have 3 things: • A box • A lot of toys • A piece of paper Each toy represents information, and the box is a special tree that helps keep track of the toys. On the piece of paper, we write down which toys we have in the box. When we add a new toy or remove an old one, we update the entries on that piece of paper. Each time you change something, you put a new stamp on the sheet that indicates all the entries are correct.The seal is a hash.

Layer 1 blockchain developer Pharos raises $8 million in seed funding

🌑 theo 🤝 @monad_xyz 💜 It's time that we announce that we'll be deploying on Monad (& it's gonna be YUGE). As if you weren't excited enough, Theo is about to make accessing protocols and assets on Monad 100x easier Why Monad? 1. Speed. I am speed (but still decentralized!). 1s block times, 10k transactions per second, but Monad's low hardware requirements allow for consumer hardware to feasibly run nodes 2. Gas fees <$.01. Theo enables gas abstraction and instant finality, which Monad makes even cheaper with it's sub cent gas fees & 10k tps 3. 90% of all capital in DeFi sits on EVM applications, and Monad combines the EVM with the best of optimistic parallel execution, asynchronous execution, a custom BFT mechanism and a custom state database, creating the ideal positioning for TVL capture How Will We Work Together? Theo users will be able to leverage their assets on Monad protocols across other protocols and chains, removing capital opportunity cost and improving TVL stickiness for Monad protocols And most importantly, Monad assets and protocols will be accessible for Theo users from all other Theo integrated chains with instant finality What's Next? Monad is gearing up for mainnet launch, and Theo will be ready to deploy as soon as mainnet is live, allowing users to utilize Monad protocols and swap for assets on Monad from anywhere Excited? Good. Same. Stay tuned 🫣

Tokenization enhances liquidity for previously illiquid or non-commercial assets. It enables fractional ownership, meaning that individuals can invest in a portion of an asset rather than having to buy the entire asset. This increased liquidity can attract more investors, boost market efficiency, and potentially unlock new sources of capital for asset owners. We are talking about a trillion dollars market and as such, accountability should be taken seriously. However, there hasn’t been a suitable blockchain solution for tokenizing these assets, until now. @RedbellyNetwork introduces a revolutionary Compliant Asset Tokenisation solution designed to meet current and future global regulations and remove the barriers of risks and compliance, common problems on traditional blockchains. @RedbellyNetwork provides solutions to all these problems, with accountability at the core via its innovative Zero-Knowledge-Proof-enabled identity layer and the finality, security, speed, and composability. - Lab-proven speed up to 660,000+ TPS. - Resistance to forking and intrusion attacks. - Instant transaction execution with zero loss through forking. - Compliance programmed at the transaction execution layer for governance control and flexibility across different asset classes. It outperforms traditional blockchains on real-world use cases and workloads in Diablo benchmarking. It is open, fast, cost-effective, and natively compatible with assets in regulated markets. @RedbellyNetwork is the bridge between today's regulated economy and the emerging web3 economy.

Bitcoin rollup project Nexio completes a $2.20 million Pre-seed funding round, led by Lattice.

In one of the most bullish pieces of news for Aptos, there is now a proposal for Aave v3's deployment on @Aptos by the Aptos Foundation. 🔥Here's why it matters for Aptos and Thala👇🏻The proposal:If passed, @aave V3 will be deployed on Aptos to expand Aave’s presence and tap into Aptos’ growing DeFi ecosystem and user base. Key benefits for Aave include:→ First Non-EVM Deployment for Aave→ Early Mover Advantage and Strong Brand –– Aptos’ Strategic Position from Meta's Diem Project→ High Transaction Throughput (up to 30k TPS) and Transaction Cost Efficiency→ Enhanced Security with Move Language→ Economic Benefits for the Aave DAO via APT incentives, Revenue, and Market Share growth (particularly in APAC, including Korea)Furthermore, the deployment will integrate @chainlink's Price Feeds as the oracle provider for the market, along with the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) for enhanced security.Status –– The integration code has already been deployed to Aptos’ testnet. The proposal is currently in the ‘temp-check’ stage and, if successful, this will constitute the first time that Aave has been officially deployed on a non-EVM network.According to Aave-founder @StaniKulechov, the initiative is part of Aave’s 2030 plan to expand the Aave Protocol beyond EVM networks.Benefits for Aptos and Thala:Aave, being one of the largest DeFi protocols with $20 billion+ total TVL, brings significant credibility to Aptos and the Move Ecosystem in general. This further attracts EVM DeFi users to experience Aptos' high performance and safety.This could lead to higher demand for assets like LSTs and stablecoins. We believe Thala is well-positioned to capture the increased Aptos DeFi capital activity due to Aave's deployment with Thala's suite of products such as:→ LSTs (thAPT and sthAPT)→ Thalaswap (biggest TVL DEX on Aptos)→ Move-native Stablecoin (MOD)And much more.Overall, it's a huge win for Thala, Aptos, and the broader Move Ecosystem. Excited for what's next. 🚀

The concept of tokenization and its potential to transform traditional asset classes and financial markets is gaining momentum. Tokenization refers to the process of converting real-world assets, such as real estate, artwork, bonds or commodities, into digital tokens on a blockchain. By tokenizing assets, ownership can be easily transferred and divided into smaller, more affordable units. This opens up new opportunities for a wider range of investors to participate in asset ownership. Tokenization enhances liquidity for previously illiquid or non-commercial assets. It enables fractional ownership, meaning that individuals can invest in a portion of an asset rather than having to buy the entire asset. This increased liquidity can attract more investors, boost market efficiency, and potentially unlock new sources of capital for asset owners. We are talking about a trillion dollars market and as such, accountability should be taken seriously.

Cambrian: Restaking SOL to Enable Shared Security on Solana🟪 Cambrian - modular security layer for Solana ecosystemModular versus integrated is perhaps the most debated topic in the field of distributed system design today. @solana, with its integrated philosophy, has witnessed a phenomenal increase in the number of users and applications over the past year.Ethereum, on the other hand, is no stranger to competition. Doubling down on its modular approach, the latest community effort to enable restaking of ETH to support auxiliary networks has already amassed an interest of over USD 4 billion worth of ETH. There are already a plethora of AVS, LRT and LRT aggregators looking to leverage EigenLayer to provide optionality to ETH holders, restakers and protocols alike.This approach can be compared to the implementationrealisation of monolithic and microservice architecture in system design development. In microservice architecture the code is divided into separate modules, each function has a separate service.Also, each service can be deployed, scaled and updated independently, enabling continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), which is also applicable to the modular architecture that Cambrian's approach enables.It can be debated as to whether in the long term the modular approach or the integrated one emerge dominant, what’s clear is that in the foreseeable future they coexist. As curious builders, we often wonder whether there are learnings Solana can take from Ethereum and vice-versa. Seems like we finally found one - can enabling restaking a fraction of the $50b of SOL in circulation help Solana ecosystem builders?🟪 Bootstrapping security of decentralized networks is challengingA range of new sectors including zero-knowledge cryptography, dePIN, artificial intelligence and machine learning have been gaining momentum over the past year. However, all these technologies require professional players (relayers / validators / proofers) who solve tasks specialized for these projects. And we are facing one of the key limitations for the growth of the ecosystem – bootstrapping new middleware networks.Cons of low-trust middleware which creates barriers for innovations:- Middleware: high cost of capital- dApps: low trust model- SOL: low-trusted dApps lower trust in Solana ecosystem, security standards are not unanimousPros of sharing trust with SOL:- Middleware: zero-margin cost of capital, no bottleneck- dApps: higher core trust from SOL holders and stakers- SOL: value alignment from new innovations contributing back value to SOL ecosystem and holders🟪 Introducing CambrianAs we can see from above, as the blockchain industry becomes more mature, it is getting clear that there is the need for a security solution that can adapt to and protect a wide range of applications and services. Currently, many dApps rely on additional services that Solana Validators and the SVM cannot provide directly. These required components are known as Middleware. Overall trust in these services is inextricably linked to trust in Middleware. How to bridge this gap?This is where Cambrian comes into play.Cambrian creates a novel market for decentralized trust based on the existing Solana consensus turning the capital used for network security into an asset that can be used for other modular networks and middlewares. The model incorporates a restaking mechanism, offering enhanced fee-generating opportunities for both validators and SOL holders. This approach aims to improve features and security of the networks and enrich engagement and financial incentives within the Solana chain.🟪 Benefits1⃣ For protocols:- Attribute security- Reduced cost of developing native solutions- More organic implementation of the modular philosophy in the blockchain space without fragmentation- This approach also enables various economic models within products on top of Middleware2⃣ For Solana users:- Value alignment from new innovations contributing back value to the SOL ecosystem and holders.- Reduced transaction costs3⃣ For Solana ecosystem:- More organic implementation of the modular philosophy in the blockchain space - Creating entirely new combinations and use cases due to reduced fragmentation of economic security.- Low barrier for starting validating new middlewares and getting additional fees leads to engaging more validators and increasing security of SolanaIt is also worth noting the benefit that the entire Solana ecosystem receives from the presence of a modular security layer: dApps leverage trust from consensus layer to construct services for their end users. The equation is simple: simplification of bootstrapping security leads to more innovations for the ecosystem overall, more innovation leads to more users, which in turn builds more trust… Awesome network effect!🟪 Potential applicationsA few of them are listed below:- General decentralized networks: oracles, network keepers, automation.- Coprocessors: Decentralized and economically efficient AI output- Creating narrow use cases to suit the needs of individual customers- DePin: Bootstrapping validation networks for complex DePIN infrastructure.- Cryptography: Threshold FHE, MPC, TEE committees- MEV Management: Auction, private RPCs, conditional trades🟪 Similar to EigenLayer but not really! Cambrian is Solana nativeCambrian’s idea of a modular security layer was inspired by @eigenlayer’s success in the Ethereum ecosystem. However, despite the ideological similarity, the architecture of the solution is fundamentally different due to the different nature of the Solana blockchain from Ethereum: - Completely different stack: it is impossible to make compatible EVM and SVM applications. - Solana uses parallel processing in contrast to consecutive Ethereum’s execution, which makes the transaction lifecycle quite different. - Different block building mechanics require different approaches to providing and validating data. - Solana offers a vertical approach with a high TPS, in contrast to the rollup-centric model of Ethereum.At Cambrian, we believe in use cases for the mass market and healthy organic co-evolution. However, with the continuous growth in activity and user base, there's a constant need for additional functionality and the ability to scale rapidly.Scaling Solana with the modular shared security approach, in our opinion, is the most optimal way to retain or directly delegate users and liquidity within Solana itself as well as for the impetus for a new round of crypto industry evolution with the emergence of technologies, mechanics and usage scenarios that were previously unavailable.📚 Read the full article about Cambrian on our Substack: https://t.co/SBS6mlsYxW
