What Does Just a Chill Guy Aim to Achieve?

The CHILLGUY meme coin aims to spread a "Why worry?" philosophy into cryptocurrency markets by embracing the laid-back, stress-free attitude that made the original meme go viral. The project transforms this easygoing vibe into a community-driven token, where being low-key isn't just a catchphrase — it's a shared mindset among holders.

The CHILLGUY community brings this philosophy to life by sharing endless variations of the CHILLGUY meme across social platforms. Through market swings and viral trends, CHILLGUY keeps his iconic pose: hands in pockets, subtle smirk, perpetually relaxed.

Just a Chill Guy (CHILLGUY) operates as a Solana Program Library (SPL) token on the 

 blockchain, leveraging the network's ultrafast speeds and low costs to ensure smooth trading. The token was created using Pump.fun, a specialized platform that lets users launch Solana-based tokens without any fees, removing traditional barriers to token creation.

CHILLGUY is a community takeover (CTO), meaning it's completely owned and directed by its token holders with no central team in control. This decentralized structure ensures the project stays true to its community-driven nature, its holders collectively guiding its future while embodying the laid-back spirit of the original meme.

The CHILLGUY token launched with a maximum supply of 1 billion tokens, of which 999,965,435 are currently in circulation. This near-complete distribution of tokens to the market supports active trading and community participation.

What makes CHILLGUY's tokenomics particularly notable is its widespread distribution across more than 142,000 unique holders (as of Nov 27, 2024), achieved in just 12 days. This rapid expansion of its holder base demonstrates strong community adoption and aligns with the project's decentralized, community-driven principles.

CHILLGUY has exploded across social media, especially on TikTok, where the meme has amassed hundreds of millions of views. Its laid-back character resonates with users worldwide, inspiring countless creative adaptations.

Major brands worldwide have embraced CHILLGUY in their marketing campaigns. From Sprite Europe to NFL on CBS, the character has resonated across mainstream media, even catching the attention of global figures like El Salvador's president Nayib Bukele.

The “Chill Guy” meme’s influence spans multiple social media platforms, with a growing community of followers: 96.6K on X (

). On the other hand, the meme token itself also has a vast community, with 39.9K on X (

) and an active Telegram channel of over 15,000 members. These numbers reflect the meme's ability to engage audiences across different platforms.

The token's popularity in cryptocurrency markets matches its social media success, with CHILLGUY maintaining a substantial 24-hour trading volume of over $330.03M as of Nov 27, 2024. This high trading activity demonstrates the strong market interest in CHILLGUY beyond its meme status.

Just a Chill Guy (CHILLGUY): Embracing the Art of Nonchalance

Zircuit (ZRC) combines optimistic and ZK rollups with AI-driven security, offering fast, low-cost Ethereum Layer 2 solutions. 

 network has flourished, mainly due to the ongoing network congestion, high fees and poor scalability of the latter. Many of these platforms use rollup technology, whereby batches of multiple transactions processed off-chain are bundled together and posted in bulk to the underlying Layer 1. Ethereum-linked rollups mainly come in two varieties 

 (ZK). While optimistic rollups boast lower computational overhead, the ZK variety of these networks features a higher degree of security.

Zircuit (ZRC) is a Layer 2 chain that adopts a hybrid approach, combining the elements of optimistic and 

. This lets the platform offer the performance benefits of optimistic technology along with the security of ZK validity proofs. To further enhance overall security, Zircuit uses a unique 

 (AI)–driven system of monitoring for malicious transactions.

 (ZRC) is a hybrid Layer 2 blockchain that combines the features of optimistic and ZK rollups, and uses AI-driven monitoring for potentially harmful transactions. 

 rollup development technology, a popular framework for building optimistic rollup networks. Additionally, it uses zero-knowledge proofs, which lets the platform offer the best of both worlds 

 the performance benefits of optimistic rollups and the security of ZK technology. Zircuit is 

The Zircuit project takes security very seriously, and has introduced a unique system of AI-based protection against malicious transactions at the sequencer node level. The use of ZK proofs and an AI-based protection system make Zircuit one of the most secure platforms in the competitive world of Ethereum Layer 2 chains.

Along with its excellent security benefits, Zircuit also boasts low costs, fast transactions, excellent scalability and 2-second block production intervals. All these features make it an ideal environment for 

 (DApps) in various niches, particularly 

 (DeFi). In fact, the leading protocols within the Zircuit ecosystem are all dedicated to the finance niche, with Zircuit Staking being the largest application by TVL.

With its heavy focus on DeFi, Zircuit aims to become a leading liquidity hub for various token types within the sector, including 

. These assets can be staked through the Zircuit staking program — supported by the platform's Liquidity Hub — to earn staking APRs, airdrop rewards and points based on the Zircuit Point program (covered further in our article).

The platform also operates a secure native bridging solution, 

, to help users transfer assets between its Layer 2 network and Ethereum Layer 1.

The company behind the project, Zircuit Ltd., was founded in 2021 in Canada by Dr. Martin Derka, Jan Gorzny and Angel Xu. Zircuit's testnet was launched in November 2023, but made headlines in April 2024 when the project reported that its 

 (TVL) had soared past $2 billion. While testnet TVLs are more a gauge of future potential for a blockchain than an indicator of its existing worth, the news attracted the attention of industry observers toward the platform. Following its highly publicized testnet success, Zircuit launched the first phase of its mainnet in August 2024. This was followed by the launch of the platform's native token, ZRC, in November 2024.

As a typical rollup, Zircuit uses an off-chain sequencer node to batch and organize Layer 2 transactions for subsequent posting to the underlying Ethereum Layer 1. The batches have ZK validity proofs attached to them to signal to Layer 1 validators that they’re free from fraudulent transactions. Zircuit's architecture also includes prover nodes, whose job is to produce these validity proofs.

However, unlike other rollups using ZK proofs (also known as validity proofs), Zircuit doesn't generate validity proofs for every block of transactions. Instead, some blocks have pre-generated template proofs, while others go through the process of having a dedicated validity proof created for them. After a few blocks featuring validity proofs, there are several more that utilize template proofs. The image below illustrates this approach.

The key reason Zircuit has adopted this form of proof design is that the process of generating ZK proofs is computationally intensive. By using template proofs for some of the blocks in a sequence, Zircuit can reduce the overall computational overhead. However, the project’s team has stated that the template proof model is temporary, and will be phased out in the future. At that stage, the platform will move to generating ZK proofs for each block.

Zircuit features a highly modular design whereby provers — responsible for generating validity proofs on the platform — can easily be plugged into or removed from the network. This modular approach is distinct from the standard ZK rollup design, in which provers are more tightly and less flexibly integrated into the overall architecture.

As noted earlier, Zircuit uses a dedicated sequencer to organize and batch transactions into blocks. The platform also applies AI-driven monitoring at the sequencer level (the Sequencer Level Security, or SLS) to spot and exclude fraudulent transactions before they’re finalized on Layer 2.

When transactions are first posted to Zircuit, they enter the 

 — a temporary area from which the sequencer picks and organizes individual transactions into blocks. The mempool is being monitored at all times, using AI algorithms to identify suspicious transactions. If a transaction in the mempool raises a flag, it's quarantined and assessed for validity before the sequencer can include it in a block. The image below shows how this process works.

One of the distinct features of Zircuit is its hybrid architecture, which combines the properties of optimistic and ZK rollups. At the base level, Zircuit is built using Optimism's Bedrock development framework, a technology popular for optimistic rollup networks. However, the use of ZK proofs — or, to be more precise, a combination of validity proofs and template proofs — ensures that Zircuit enjoys a security level that standard optimistic rollups normally can't match.

The use of AI-based SLS provides robust security to Zircuit, complementing the already highly secure ZK proof system. Very few Layer 2 networks in the industry currently feature anything similar, making the platform a true pioneer of AI use for sequencer-level operations.

Like any rollup based on Optimism Bedrock, Zircuit enjoys EVM compatibility. This allows for smooth interoperability with the underlying Ethereum Layer 1. EVM compatibility also makes it easy for developers familiar with Ethereum’s environment to develop Zircuit-based DApps, or to port existing Ethereum applications to the platform. Developers can take advantage of technologies commonly used for Ethereum (e.g., the Solidity programming language and the Hardhat development framework) to build Zircuit applications and smart contracts.

Zircuit Bridge is a native bridging solution designed to easily transfer tokens between Ethereum and Zircuit. It boasts high security, low transaction fees and fast transfers, and allows users to move a variety of cryptocurrencies between Ethereum and Zircuit, including ETH, 

) and LRTs like Super Symbiotic LRT (weETHs). As of late November 2024, the total number of cryptos supported by the bridge is close to 30.

Zircuit has launched a reward program called Zircuit Points. Users can earn these Points by staking supported assets, and by participating in the Build to Earn initiative (more on this below). Accumulated points will be converted to ZRC tokens in the future. Points also create the opportunity to qualify for token airdrops.

The primary way for most users to earn Zircuit points is via 

. The Zircuit Staking program lets you stake LSTs, LRTs, popular stablecoins, some wrapped tokens and Ether (ETH) to earn points. Using LSTs and LRTs, you can earn yields (along with native Zircuit staking APRs and Points) from the respective staking and restaking platforms that issue these assets.

Zircuit Points earned via staking have different multipliers, depending upon the asset. For example, Ether has a multiplier of 0.5, while LSTs, LRTs and stablecoins have a multiplier of 1. Multipliers for different LST and LRT assets may be subject to change in the future.

Build to Earn is another way to qualify for Zircuit Points. The program allows developers to contribute to the Zircuit ecosystem and earn Points in a number of ways, including:

Launched in November 2024, ZRC is the platform's native cryptocurrency. It's an 

 asset deployed on both Zircuit and Ethereum Layer 1. ZRC is mainly used for reward distributions, and participation in token airdrops for ecosystem DApps. Currently, transaction fees on the network are paid in Ether. It's possible that, in the future, ZRC might be used for some transaction fee payments.

ZRC is also used for rewards under the Gas Rebate program. As users conduct transactions on the platform, they 

. Zircuit’s Gas Rebate program provides rebates to offset some of the incurred fees. The amount of ZRC earned as a rebate is proportional to the amount spent on gas in ETH; the project's documentation states that for each ETH spent on gas, the user earns 125% in ZRC. All kinds of gas fee payments qualify for the rebate, including ordinary asset transfers and transactions involving interaction with Zircuit DApps.

ZRC is a supply-capped token, with a maximum and total supply of 10 billion. The token's supply allocation shares are as follows:

The ZRC token is available on Bybit's Spot market as a swap pair with USDT (

 to grab a share of the 5 million ZRC prize pool. New users who sign up for a Bybit account and complete identity verification can earn ZRC rewards by accumulating a deposit volume of at least 2,000 ZRC, or by depositing 100 USDT and trading 100 USDT worth of ZRC via their first trade with Bybit. 

Meanwhile, existing users can qualify for ZRC rewards by trading at least 500 USDT worth of ZRC on the Bybit Spot market, with the possibility of earning up to 10,000 ZRC based on trading volume. The 

 event will run through Dec 10, 2024, 8:59AM UTC.

Zircuit is among the pioneering Layer 2 platforms to adopt a hybrid design for a rollup network. Thanks to the platform's architecture, users can take advantage of low transaction costs, fast transfers and great scalability while enjoying the benefits of high security delivered by ZK proofs and AI-driven mempool monitoring. AI-based monitoring for fraudulent transactions is a particularly notable feature of the platform and is undoubtedly among the most advanced technologies employed in the blockchain industry.

User security combined with faster and cheaper transactions for the Ethereum network — all in one package — is now feasible, thanks to Zircuit's innovative technology and unique approach!

Bybit Celebrates 6th Anniversary with $1.2M Prize Pool and bbSOL Supercharging Campaign

Our weekly crypto derivatives analytics report delves into macro events, the current state of crypto and trading signals from spot trading volume, and futures, options and perpetual contracts.

ETH has outperformed, bolstered by SEC Chair Gary Gensler's announcement of his Jan 20, 2025 departure, and suggested by growing open interest in ETH perpetual. This positive momentum extends to several large-cap altcoins previously scrutinized by the SEC, as indicated by bullish funding rates for long positions.

Please check out the report’s highlights.

ETH Open Interest Grows While BTC’s Declines

ETH is outperforming BTC following the announcement of SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s departure, as evidenced in perpetual swap markets. BTC open interest has decreased from last week's highs, while ETH contracts have increased. Additionally, ETH trade volumes constitute a larger share of daily trading as compared to much of the past six months, despite an overall dip in trade volumes this week. The gradual decline in BTC open interest, without a surge in trading activity, indicates a strategic repositioning, rather than a wave of liquidations.

BTC Option Curve Inversion Deepens as Price Retreats

The pullback in the spot BTC price from the $100K target has led to a flat ATM volatility term structure, with short-tenor options dropping below 60%. 

This trend continues the correlation between term structure inversion and BTC spot price returns observed since the U.S. election on November 5, 2024

. The decline in front-end volatility aligns with lower realized volatility levels. While demand for short-tenor options has moderated, there hasn't been a notable change in open interest for calls or puts. Instead, their growth has stalled at the week's start.

Sentiment in ETH options markets seems moderately more bullish than in BTC's during the recent decline in momentum from the post-election rally. Call options lead in both trading volumes and open interest.

DeFi

BarnBridge is a platform-agnostic risk management DeFi protocol designed to tokenize risk through risk-flexible, debt-based derivatives.

epoch_pool_BarnBridge_V2_.png

Barnbridge_BOND_tokenomics.png

 (DeFi) is exploding in global popularity, with billions of dollars locked into various protocols in the space. By leveraging 

, many DeFi financial products can offer higher 

 (APY) than in traditional finance (TradFi) since they don’t attract labor-intensive and costly processes like settlement and escrow services.

 (DAOs), which make the niche transparent, secure and highly efficient as compared to TradFi.

However, despite the flexibility and diverse yield opportunities provided by DeFi, most TradFi players still perceive financial instruments in the DeFi sector as complex and high-risk, making them more hesitant to explore them.

In this article, we’ll look at how BarnBridge is working to onboard traditional investors into DeFi by providing attractive, risk-flexible financial instruments. Let’s learn more.

 is a platform-agnostic risk management DeFi protocol designed to tokenize risk by providing risk-flexible products that can be fine-tuned to accommodate an investor’s risk appetite.

The community-owned project aims to provide risk-averse investors with transparent and efficient yield-based 

 as wealth shifts from centralized systems to more decentralized protocols, focusing on cushioning them from yield and price fluctuations common in DeFi.

The project was conceived in 2019 and launched in 2020 after successful seed funding. Its co-founders are Tyler Ward, Troy Murray, Milad Mostavi, Dragos Rizescu and Bogdan Gheorghe, all seasoned blockchain enthusiasts with profound experience in DeFi projects.

However, some of these original founding members left the project in early 2022 due to philosophical differences. Despite the departure, BarnBridge went ahead to launch Smart Yield v2 and also relaunch its DAO on 

BOND, the native token on BarnBridge, is used to facilitate governance through staking to earn voting rights in the project’s DAO system.

The main focus of BarnBridge is to hedge investors against the risk exposure of market-based fluctuations and yield sensitivity, which has kept many potential users away from DeFi. To achieve this goal, BarnBridge has devised the idea of tokenizing risk and aggregating it across several DeFi protocols, which minimizes the risk curve.

These token-based derivatives are made possible by a fluctuations derivatives protocol that’s designed to accommodate even more conservative investors.

BarnBridge Fluctuations Derivatives Protocol

 and efficiently divide and track your yield against various fluctuations. Meanwhile, liquidity can be insufficient on DeFi platforms due to lack of widespread adoption, which makes it difficult to launch attractive fixed-income DeFi products. Thus, BarnBridge has created a first-of-its-kind, novel cross-chain 

 to hedge against risks such as volatile interest rates, price fluctuations and other market uncertainties.

The protocol cushions investors from price fluctuations by breaking down yield-bearing digital assets into smaller, essentially infinite chunks (tranches) and creating derivatives from them, which investors can take up based on their risk appetite.

BarnBridge applies a layered risk management model designed to mitigate risk by allowing investors to increase or decrease their sensitivity to yield. Unlike other DeFi protocols that lend you funds directly from their platforms, BarnBridge pools yield-producing assets across various protocols based on a cumulative yield structure. This makes Barnbridge a highly liquid platform and asset-agnostic protocol.

The core products offered to investors by BarnBridge are what they call Smart (Structured market adjusted risk tranches) products, consisting of Smart Yield bonds and Smart Alpha bonds or pools. Let’s explore these products further.

The flagship product for BarnBridge was known as Smart Yield, a fixed-income protocol launched in March 2021 that helps users mitigate risks with cross-platform debt-based derivatives. However, the project team revamped this product and relaunched it as BarnBridge v2 in October 2022, which lets you earn fixed yields on what you deposit into an epoch pool.

Not only was the upgrade to BarnBridge v2 done on the Smart Yield application layer, but it also involved the migration of the protocol’s DAO (from Ethereum to 

 and Arbitrum) to provide investors with cheaper, faster transactions.

While the concept of fixed income isn’t new to DeFi, it has faced challenges of lengthy lock-in periods, illiquid secondary markets and complex valuation techniques for the products offered.

To address these challenges, BarnBridge v2 has integrated with 

 to let investors deposit assets into a fixed-interest epoch pool and withdraw a fixed yield once the epoch period is over (usually after 30 days). The fixed return is guaranteed, as it comprises the cumulative interest gained from the returns in the previous epoch. Upon making your deposit, you'll acquire BarnBridge v2 liquidity tokens, which you can sell in secondary markets even before the pool maturity date comes to term.

Each epoch involves three phases: deposit, withdrawal, and epoch running period. Some added benefits include the ability to magnify your yield leverage by four times and the option to unlock liquidity before the end of an epoch period.

While this structure has eliminated the risk of variable APY based on market conditions, a certain degree of risk remains for the conservative investor. The principal concern involves the potential hacking or insolvency of either BarnBridge or Aave. However, both protocols have undergone meticulous security audits to ensure their robustness and reliability.

Another innovative product from BarnBridge is the Smart Alpha pool, which offers tranched derivatives based on volatility to mitigate the risk of price exposure in the market. SMART Alpha pools rely on smart contracts to create and allocate tranches consisting of junior and senior depositors. These tranches expose investors to various degrees of losses or gains, depending upon the price movement.

Let's say the price of ETH is $2,000. If it moves downward to $1,900, the first tranche — considered the riskiest —will get a higher loss, and vice versa. So, the lower your tranche level, the lower the risk of loss and the lower your return in case of a favorable price movement.

 a strategic partnership with Optimism to add SMART Alpha pools for 

 (LINK/USD) assets to the existing Bitcoin and Ethereum digital assets. The pools have an epoch period of either one day or one week.

Simplifying Governance With BarnBridge DAO

Since its launch, BarnBridge has always embraced the concept of DAOs in blockchain. In November 2022, the protocol upgraded its BarnBridge DAO and migrated it to the rapidly growing Arbitrum ecosystem to ensure users incur lower fees when voting for proposals.

The upgrade's primary focus is to make it easier for BOND token holders to play an active role in the governance of BarnBridge, such as voting on proposals on treasury management and partnerships with other protocols. To participate in the BarnBridge DAO, users need to stake BOND tokens to receive xBOND tokens, which they can then use to vote. Any BarnBridge user holding 1.5% of the total number of xBOND tokens can also create proposals by locking 1.5% or 5,000 xBOND tokens (whichever amount is bigger) for 16 weeks.

Furthermore, the user-centric BarnBridge DAO also powers the LP side of BarnBridge v2 through a BONDing process, which allocates 

 (DAI) from its treasury into the liquidity pools. By acting as a liquidity provider, the pools can attract more investors into the fixed yield product, since the advertised APY will be higher.

BOND is the governance token for the BarnBridge protocol. It's an 

 used to power the protocol's ecosystem through the BarnBridge DAO. To participate in BarnBridge’s DAO, you'll need to 

 BOND tokens to receive xBOND. The staking contract has a warm-up period of seven days for staking and a cooldown period of seven days for unstaking (though you can choose to remove your BOND tokens at any time).

After the BOND staking, you'll receive voting rights, which help influence various decisions, such as the allocation of revenue and treasury capital.

BOND has a finite total supply of ten million tokens, with a current circulating supply of 9.3 million (as of Aug 29, 2023). Its token distribution is as shown below:

As of Aug 29, 2023, BOND is valued at $2.12, a 98.86% drop from its ATH of $185.69 on Oct 27, 2020, and a 4.16% increase from its ATL of $2.04 on Aug 28, 2023. 

Despite its current low value, price experts are fairly optimistic about the future price of BOND. According to PricePrediction, 

 $8.69 and increase to $59.25 by 2030. DigitalCoinPrice 

, and believes BOND’s price could reach $7.72 in 2025 and rise to $22.05 by 2030.

Can BarnBridge reach $100? It could — since it surpassed that mark in October 2020, when it hit its ATH of $185.69. However, this possibility is highly dependent upon the determination of the 

 relating to fixed-income DeFi products offered by the protocol. A negative outcome could crush the BOND price and destabilize the project.

BarnBridge’s approach to onboarding the multi-billion TradFi market with its risk-mitigated products is both innovative and timely in the volatile DeFi space. Its Smart products are attractive even to conservative investors, providing fixed interest rate yields at an attractive APY.

Furthermore, despite a turbulent 2022 for the project coupled with the current 

 conditions, the protocol has managed to upgrade to BarnBridge v2, revamp its BarnBridge DAO and partner with leading blockchains to provide increased value to users.

However, despite the solid team and innovative approach to DeFi, the project revealed an ongoing non-public investigation by the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) on BarnBridge. Moreover, the co-founders have declined to comment on the revelation, making the details of the matter sketchy.

While BarnBridge isn't the only protocol that has fallen victim to the latest onslaught on crypto exchanges by SEC, the investigation is a severe blow to the project as it tries to rebuild itself from the departure of some of its co-founders in 2022.

That said, the above information isn’t financial advice and isn’t a guarantee of the future price of BarnBridge. We highly recommend that you 

 before investing in BarnBridge or any other 

Although the DeFi space is quite saturated, BarnBridge stands out, especially among TradFi players looking to venture into crypto. It provides an efficient, transparent and cost-effective way to earn from yield-based derivatives in DeFi based on one's risk appetite.

Despite the ongoing investigation of the project by the SEC, BarnBridge is backed by a strong team of founders and devs and a robust community to help keep the project running and come out stronger in favorable market conditions.
