Infinex Conducts Token Launch on Sonar Platform

Project Overview

Infinex is a decentralized finance platform launched by Synthetix founder Kain Warwick in April 2024. The project aims to bridge the gap between CeFi and DeFi, offering the smooth user experience of a centralized exchange while maintaining the non-custodial and secure nature of decentralized services.

Participation Guide and Details

On November 27, Infinex, a new project created by Synthetix founder Kain Warwick, officially announced its upcoming TGE and plans to conduct a public sale on Sonar with a $300 million FDV. It intends to sell 5% of the INX token supply to raise $15 million, choosing Sonar as the launch platform.

According to Infinex's official introduction, this public sale will have two participation paths: a guaranteed quota and a lottery allocation. The guaranteed quota is for users holding liquid (unlocked) Patron NFTs, with specific guarantee strategies as follows:

  • 1 Patron NFT: $2,000 quota;
  • 5 Patron NFTs: $15,000 quota;
  • 25 Patron NFTs: $100,000 quota;
  • 100 Patron NFTs: $500,000 quota;

Allocations follow a cumulative mechanism. For example, if you hold 32 liquid Patron NFTs, your quota will be: 100,000 + 15,000 + 2,000 + 2,000 = $119,000.

The lottery allocation is open to all users; anyone can apply to participate. The specific rules are as follows:

Minimum subscription amount is $200, maximum is $5,000;

If subscriptions exceed the limit, orders will be allocated via lottery;

Each order has an equal chance of being selected. If selected, the order will be fully allocated;

Unfulfilled orders will be automatically refunded.

Notably, this public sale will have a one-year lock-up period but includes an early unlock clause. The design for early unlock is as follows:

At TGE, if early unlock is chosen, the subscription will be at a price corresponding to a $1 billion FDV;

During the one-year lock-up period, this price will linearly decrease to the initially set $300 million FDV;

If the trading price of INX after listing is higher than the real-time early unlock price, some public sale participants may choose to unlock early, smoothing the unlock curve.

Fogo Conducts Token Launch on Its Own Platform

Uniswap Founder: When Stocks and Treasuries Are Fully On-Chain, How Will AMMs Restructure the Global Market?

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams argues that as traditional assets like stocks become tokenized, Automated Market Makers (AMMs) could fundamentally restructure global markets. The core insight is that AMMs are most efficient in "correlated pairs"—such as NVDA/SPY—where assets move together. In these pairs, passive liquidity providers (LPs) who are willing to hold the underlying assets face lower inventory risk and minimal hedging costs compared to traditional, delta-neutral market makers. This cost advantage allows AMMs to undercut professional firms. Tokenization enables assets to trade directly against each other on a shared settlement layer, rather than being siloed in dollar-based systems. Adams observes this pattern already emerging in DeFi, where assets naturally pair with correlated benchmarks (e.g., ETH for Ethereum assets). He believes this will extend to tokenized stocks, with liquidity concentrating in low-volatility correlated pairs, while a few high-volume "bridge pairs" (like SPY/USD) handle dollar conversions. The article highlights that early correlated markets for tokenized stocks already exist (e.g., on Robinhood's chain), and Uniswap v4 hooks like DualPool can further boost LP returns. Adams draws a parallel to the rise of passive index funds, suggesting passive AMM liquidity could similarly democratize market-making and capture significant market share from traditional finance. A response from crypto KOL Cody adds practical analysis, noting that while the correlated pair strategy reduces impermanent loss, current on-chain fees may not yet fully compensate for it. He shares his own LP strategy using valuation models, emphasizing that AMMs offer a novel, low-cost market-making avenue for those willing to hold inventory.

Goldman Sachs Buys Volatility, Turns Bitcoin into a Yield Business

Goldman Sachs acquired NEOS Investments for up to $2.25 billion, gaining a suite of ETFs that generate income by selling options against crypto assets, particularly Bitcoin. This includes the BTCI fund, which sells call options against Bitcoin ETF holdings to capture high premiums from crypto’s volatility, offering investors stable cash flow—around 27% annualized in returns—while capping upside potential and fully exposing them to downside risk. The move highlights Wall Street’s broader push to package crypto-native yield—through staking, lending, and structured products—without taking directional bets on prices. Firms like Fidelity, JPMorgan, and Morgan Stanley now offer staking services or accept crypto as collateral for loans, collecting steady fees regardless of market direction. In contrast, native crypto firms like Bitwise remain vulnerable to market downturns, as their revenue depends entirely on assets under management. This reflects a strategic pivot: large institutions no longer need to “believe” in crypto to profit from it. They monetize volatility and investor activity through fee-based structures, leaving price risk to retail investors. As regulatory shifts like the proposed 401(k) rules unfold, yield-generating crypto products may gain even broader adoption in traditional portfolios, further cementing Wall Street’s role as a neutral intermediary capturing reliable revenue streams from the ecosystem.

AI Launches a Fierce Assault on Cancer, Virtually Tests 4,000 Anti-Cancer Drugs, Google Gemma Downloads Exceed 1 Billion

Google's open-source Gemma AI model family has reached a new milestone, surpassing 10 billion cumulative downloads in two and a half years since its February 2024 launch. This growth has fueled a vast ecosystem, with over 100,000 developer-derived model variants powering diverse applications, from NASA satellites to over 100 million phones. A standout application involves cancer research. In collaboration with Google Research and Yale, a team developed a 27-billion-parameter model called Cell2Sentence-Scale 27B (C2S-Scale). This model innovatively converts complex single-cell sequencing data into a "sentence" of gene names ranked by activity, allowing it to analyze cellular behavior. It was used to conduct a "dual-context virtual screen" of over 4,000 drugs, aiming to find one that specifically boosts antigen presentation—a key process for immune system recognition—only in the presence of low interferon signals (a "cold tumor" context), not in neutral conditions. The model identified silmitasertib (CX-4945), a CK2 kinase inhibitor, as a top candidate. Subsequent live-cell experiments validated this AI-generated hypothesis, showing that the drug combined with low-dose interferon increased antigen presentation by about 50%, whereas neither element alone had a significant effect. This represents a novel, AI-proposed mechanistic pathway for potential cancer therapy. Beyond biomedicine, the Gemma ecosystem is expanding into unique domains. Models have been deployed in space on high-performance GPUs and are being used in projects like DolphinGemma to decipher dolphin communication patterns. The 10-billion-download milestone underscores a key trend: the disruptive potential of AI lies not just in raw model capability but in its widespread, silent integration into diverse hardware and real-world applications, as evidenced by the thriving "Gemmaverse" community.

Shocking: OpenAI Fully Open-Sources Codex Harness

OpenAI has open-sourced the core framework of Codex, called "Harness," under an Apache-2.0 license. This move allows developers to deeply integrate AI agents into their own applications and workflows, moving beyond the limitations of generic chat interfaces. The Harness is the underlying execution system that manages an AI agent's complete lifecycle: understanding tasks, maintaining memory, using tools, handling failures, and requesting human approvals. OpenAI demonstrated that optimizations to the Harness alone can dramatically boost a model's performance, tripling scores on a benchmark while using significantly fewer tokens. The release includes three key components: a CLI tool (`codex exec`) for automated tasks, official SDKs (TypeScript/Python) for programmatic control, and the `app-server` for embedding agents directly into products. This enables features like persistent state, real-time event streaming, and human-in-the-loop controls. Early adopters showcase its versatility beyond coding. Examples include a tax preparation system that cut processing time by one-third, Cisco's platform for building apps with natural language, and a demo logistics dashboard where agents analyze data and propose actions within the existing interface. This paradigm shift grants developers full control over the user interface, context, tools, and security boundaries. AI becomes an invisible assistant within specialized software, rather than a separate chatbot. By open-sourcing the engine behind its powerful agents, OpenAI aims to spark a new wave of native, deeply integrated AI applications.
