P​u​m​p​.​f​u​n burns $370M in PUMP - 36% of Supply Gone in One Day The burn happened across two on-chain transactions and includes every PUMP token bought back over the past 9 months when the platform routed 100% of its revenue into open-market buybacks. Additionally, Pump Fun is launching a programmatic buyback and burn scheme, allocating 50% of revenue for one year to remove a substantial amount of supply from circulation to enhance trust and sustainability for the ecosystem. For context, Pump Fun has crossed $1B+ in lifetime revenue and $158B in trading volume since launching in January 2024, making it one of the highest-revenue-generating apps in crypto. 🔗theblock.co/post/399288/pump-fun-burns-370-million-pump Top 7 Ecosystem:Alpha| X | Aggregator

MegaETH Season 1 Farm - 8 Weeks of Points before MEGA Airdrop MegaETH launched Season 1 at MegaETH Terminal - an 8-week points farming campaign running from April 28 to June 23. Rewards drop in $MEGA tokens post-TGE. How it works: • Points - earned by using ecosystem apps. • Boosters - multiply your points (manually applied to up to 3 apps per week) • Apps - only some give points • Clans - join an NFT clan for extra boost The starter apps giving points right now: Hit.One, ITS, Kumbaya, Monster, Nextrare, and TopStrike. The next wave of apps unlocks in 48 hours, so the meta will keep evolving across the 8-week run. This is the official MegaETH airdrop farm - straight from the team, not a third-party. With the chain's $1.87B pre-market FDV and TGE on April 30, Season 1 is the cleanest, lowest-risk path into the $MEGA token before it goes live on the open market. 🔗terminal.megaeth.com Top 7 Ecosystem:Alpha| X | Aggregator

HIP-4 Platforms to Watch Hyperliquid's HIP-4 opened a new design space: fully collateralized outcome contracts (no leverage, no liquidations) for prediction markets and options-like instruments. Live on testnet since Feb 2026, mainnet coming this year. HIP-4 Platforms: • Outcome - on-chain prediction markets • Liquidiction - decentralized prediction markets • Stratium - institutional on-chain derivatives platform • Nova Markets - perps exchange focused on listing new real-world markets Hyperliquid is becoming the only platform with spot, perps, and prediction markets natively on a single execution layer. Combine that with HIP-3 (permissionless perps already doing $1B+ in OI), and you get a platform that competes with Polymarket, Kalshi, AND every CEX - at the same time.

Chains Earning Less Than $100 per day The harsh reality of blockchain economics: even some well-known L1s and L2s are pulling in less than $100 in daily fees - barely enough to cover a single AWS bill. 24h fees breakdown: • Sonic - $97/day | FDV $179M • Hemi - $73/day | FDV $80M • MultiversX - $73/day | FDV $125M • Celestia - $52/day | FDV $415M • Rari - $41/day | Not listed • IoTeX - $38/day | FDV $44.1M • Botanix - $37/day | Not listed • Manta - $28/day | FDV $63.6M • Plasma - $27/day | FDV $44.1M • Vana - $23/day | FDV $965M For context, Hyperliquid pulls in ~$2.3M/day in revenue. These chains combined don't earn what Hyperliquid makes in 30 seconds. When grants run out, and emissions stop subsidising activity, fees this small don't sustain validators, infrastructure, or developer attention.

TVL Growth Among Major Blockchains (30D) In the last 30 days, Optimism surged +84.1% (+$167M), driven largely by EtherFi's migration to OP Mainnet - the standout L2 winner of the month. Meanwhile, Plasma collapsed -63.2% (-$1.01B), likely tied to liquidity outflows from Aave following the recent KelpDAO hack contagion. Gainers • Optimism : +84.1% (+$167M) | TVL: $365M • Tron: +24.2% (+$983M) | TVL: $5.05B • Bitcoin: +13.9% (+$623M) | TVL: $5.11B • Base: +10.2% (+$403M) | TVL: $4.36B • Sui: +6.0% (+$31.5M) | TVL: $555M • BNB Chain: +4.2% (+$224M) | TVL: $5.49B Losers • Aptos: -0.6% (-$1.6M) | TVL: $279M • Polygon: -2.6% (-$33.1M) | TVL: $1.24B • Cronos: -3.1% (-$9.5M) | TVL: $297M • Plasma: -63.2% (-$1.01B) | TVL: $585M Data source🔗Defillama Top 7 Ecosystem:Alpha| X | Aggregator
