Lausanne, Vaud, October 9th, 2024, Chainwire

Zyfi has announced the launch of its community sale for whitelisted users and public investors. Zyfi provides the best on-chain experiences, leveraging Paymaster and Intents powered by ZKsync. After successfully completing a $3 million private funding, Zyfi is now nearing its token launch event (TGE) with a final community round to allow early adopters to participate in the Zyfi token journey.

Zyfi has established partnerships with several prominent platforms, including SyncSwap, PancakeSwap, and Koi Finance, to serve as their official paymaster. Zyfi helps them provide the best on-chain experiences, such as gas-free transactions and allowing users to pay gas with any token, whether using EOAs or Smart Wallets.

Zyfi has already processed over 1.5M transactions for more than 200,000 users on ZKsync and has deployed its smart contracts on three other chains: Cronos zkEVM, Abstract (backed by Pudgy Penguins), and PlayFi.

Powered by an API that streamlines protocol complexities, Zyfi’s approach not only simplifies user experiences but also democratizes access, enabling broader on-chain engagement without the hassle of managing ETH for gas.

On October 8, Zyfi revealed a checker to participate in their community sale to purchase their ZFI token. The community sale is divided into two main phases: a Whitelist Phase, offering first access to Zyfi’s partners and community, followed by a Public Phase open to everyone. The Whitelist Phase presents various advantages, such as the opportunity to invest 24 hours before the public sale and receive a 10% cashback in ZK on the investment amount (e.g., $10,000 invested = $1,000 worth in ZK). The Public Phase is open to anyone who believes in Zyfi’s vision of building the best on-chain experiences leveraging Paymasters and Intents, with the same terms as the Whitelist Phase but without the ZK reward.

The checker is now live, allowing users to determine which sale event they can participate in, providing advantages for whitelisted users while giving everyone the opportunity to invest.

The ZFI token is a utility token that can be used to pay gas fees on the Zyfi platform and Zyfi’s integration partners. Holders who choose to pay gas fees with ZFI benefit from a direct 20% discount on the total gas cost, making transactions more cost-effective. Additionally, ZFI is the only way to acquire stZFI, the governance token of the Zyfi DAO. By holding and staking ZFI tokens, users can participate in Zyfi governance, with 30% of the total supply under their control, influencing key decisions such as fee activation, reward allocation, and grant distribution. Stakers will also earn an APY in Zyfi staking points based on their staked amount.

Mantle’s flagship game, Catizen, officially launched its token, $CATI, on multiple exchanges today, including Binance, OKX, Bybit, Gate.io, and Bitget. As the most profitable mini-game on Telegram, Catizen seamlessly integrates Telegram with The Open Network / TON (L1) and Mantle Network (L2). $CATI, as the universal token of the Catizen ecosystem, is issued on both the TON and Mantle. It can be used in the mini-app center and open tasks, providing users with the opportunity to participate in the Launchpool “Stake to Earn,” further promoting the development of the entire gaming ecosystem.

The $CATI token will exist in a parallel relationship on TON and Mantle, with a maximum supply of 1 billion tokens on each. However, the actual total supply will remain at 1 billion across the two blockchains through a locking mechanism. Currently, cross-chain transfers of $CATI can be done through Bybit exchange. The balance between the two chains is maintained through mutual locking contracts. For example, if Catizen airdrops 10 million $CATI to Mantle game users, 990 million $CATI of the 1 billion on Mantle Network will enter the locking contract, while 10 million $CATI of the 1 billion on TON will enter the locking contract to ensure that the total circulation on both chains remains capped at 1 billion.

Since receiving Mantle EcoFund’s major investment in February 2023, Catizen, developed by Pluto Studio, has skyrocketed in popularity, becoming one of the most successful blockchain games globally, with over 36 million players. Catizen’s success can be reflected in the following impressive metrics:

• Over $30 million in revenue generated within just 6 months
• Over 7 million Daily Active Users (DAU)
• 3 million on-chain users, with over 600,000 on the Mantle blockchain
• Over 1 million paying users, with an Average Revenue per Paying User (ARPPU) of $27, totaling $27 million in revenue
• More than 1 million MNT and 40 million $FISH tokens distributed as rewards exclusively to Mantle Catizen users
• High-quality transactions: users bind wallets, sign contracts, and pay gas fees in MNT or TON for each transaction. More than half of the wallets hold at least $10 or more in assets

By providing exclusive benefits through the Mantle and TON, Catizen has demonstrated its unparalleled ability to onboard users into Web3 on a massive scale, leading the next wave of Web3 gaming economies.

The Graph Network significantly upgraded its support for the Solana network, building upon its previous integration. The Solana developer community now has access to better data tools, more ways to get started accessing indexed Solana data (including using pre-built solutions by notable teams such as Messari and Top Ledger).

The upgrades offer an enhanced development experience for Substreams-powered subgraphs (SpS) with new codegen tools, usable both remotely and locally. Developed by StreamingFast,  a core engineering team in The Graph ecosystem, the dev-environment includes tools to help developers quickly scaffold an end-to-end Substreams project. This means unprecedented flexibility to Solana development. For developers well-versed in Substreams, the new tooling enables quick and easy syncing. 

Developers can start building on Solana using The Graph even without Substreams knowledge. The new tooling also empowers developers to access Solana data without ever touching Substreams or Rust. This means developers can easily work with Solana data using tooling that best suits their skills and project requirements. 

Other notable enhancements are the Solana Substreams modules developed by Top Ledger and StreamingFast, and multiple Substreams and Substreams-powered subgraphs developed by Messari. Developers will also gain access to several ready-to-use Substreams-powered subgraphs, including UNCX and Orca Whirlpool.

“The meteoric rise of developer and user activity on Solana has created a huge demand for open, decentralized data that is true to the values of web3. The Graph’s latest tooling upgrade and enhanced support will ensure the Solana community can get even more value out of web3’s decentralized data layer,” said Nick Hansen, Head of Growth, The Graph Foundation.

Solana’s technology, particularly its high transaction speed and low fees, have made it a preferred choice for many decentralized applications (dapps) and decentralized finance (DeFi) projects. With the Solana ecosystem growing rapidly, the demand for efficient data indexing and querying is skyrocketing. 

The Graph’s enhanced support for Solana equips developers with powerful tools to build decentralized applications (dapps) and analyze on-chain data more efficiently. It now offers lower costs, a more efficient data source, and an improved programmable indexing stack that’s easier to use, faster to index, and provides a historical cache of Solana blocks that are 25% the size of a full-block.

These improvements are part of The Graph’s mission to support the multi-chain future and foster interoperability in web3. The upgraded tools will be particularly useful to Solana developers, data analysts working with Solana data, and the broader web3 community interested in data solutions. 

The Graph Network remains committed to providing web3 developers with a decentralized data network with over 9,000 subgraphs. It deprecated its free hosted service in June, transitioning to a decentralized network to empower developers and the entire web3 ecosystem by ensuring data autonomy and decentralization.

ABOUT THE GRAPH

The Graph is the source of data and information for the decentralized internet. As the original decentralized data marketplace that introduced and standardized subgraphs, The Graph has become web3’s method of indexing and accessing blockchain data. Since its launch in 2018, tens of thousands of developers have built subgraphs for dapps across 70+ blockchains – including  Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon, Celo, Fantom, Gnosis, and Avalanche.

As demand for data in web3 continues to grow, The Graph enters a New Era with a more expansive vision including new data services and query languages, ensuring the decentralized protocol can serve any use case – now and into the future.
