On January 16, a dynamic day for the cryptocurrency market saw many groundbreaking developments in different blockchain projects. From potential mergers to major launches and protocol developments, the crypto world has witnessed various advancements. Let’s examine the highlights from Klay coin, Avalanche, Aave, Fantom and Jupiter.
Critical developments for KLAY Coin, FNSA, AVAX and many more altcoins
KLAY coin and Finschia will merge
Market data on January 16 revealed an increase in Klaytn (KLAY) and Finschia (FNSA) token values at $0.25 and $34.74, respectively. Tokens increased by 31.8% and 22.6% in 24 hours. The news came after the merger proposal between Klaytn, owned by Korean giant Kakao, and Finschia, a project of Japanese communications giant Line. The collaborative effort aims to create a groundbreaking blockchain that supports both EVM and CosmWasm frameworks, establishing the largest web3 ecosystem in Asia.
Avalanche introduces AVASCHAIN
Avalanche Chain (AVAS) announced the upcoming launch of AVASCHAIN, a public chain driven entirely by the community. The platform aims to explore tokenization solutions and integrate various blockchain applications including Defi, DAO, gamefi and web3. With the support of Avalanche CEO and Avalanche Labs, AVASCHAIN aims to strengthen the Avalanche Inscription ecosystem and usher in a new era of inscription applications.
AAVE announces critical plans at Neon EVM
Decentralized lending protocol Aave is considering using Aave V3’s minimum viable product (MVP) in Neon EVM, the first Ethereum Virtual Machine designed for Solana. The offering, currently in the “Interim Control” phase, aims to leverage Solana’s liquidity by expanding Aave’s lending services without rebuilding the Aave V3 codebase. This move dovetails with the idea that Aave’s lead developer Marc Zeller had previously rejected and proposed as a settlement layer for Solana’s lending pools.
Fantom reduces staking requirement
Smart contract platform Fantom recently implemented a significant governance-focused change, reducing the validator’s own stake requirement from 500,000 to 50,000 FTM. This move aims to create a more secure, inclusive and future-proof network by making the validator role more accessible. Fantom’s consensus mechanism, based on the Lachesis protocol, prioritizes speed, security and reliability, making it an attractive choice for decentralized applications.
JUP Token will enter the market on January 31
Finally, Jupiter, Solana’s leading decentralized exchange aggregator, announced the launch of its native token JUP on January 31. The token will be distributed through an airdrop and a new launch platform. Focusing on DeFi 2.0 and the formation of the Jupiter DAO, the project aims to redefine decentralized finance on Solana. As one of the top DEXs on Solana, Jupiter’s JUP token launch is expected to create significant excitement in the Solana and DeFi space.
