**Title: Early Traders Made Huge Gains? Understanding Genius' New Rules** Genius, a highly discussed DEX, announced new GP points rules for its Season 1, ending April 12, with a 50% increase in airdrop allocation. The team confirmed that GP points earned from early trading volume remain valid, benefiting users who followed initial interaction guides. Key updates: - Total S1 GP points are fixed at 200 million, with 75 million already distributed from pre-whitepaper trading. The remaining 125 million will be distributed weekly starting January 20, at 10 million GP per week. - Distribution is weighted to prevent whales from dominating, allowing smaller traders to earn points. - Stablecoin swaps (e.g., USDT/USDC) now have a 0.5x weight; other spot trades retain 1.0x. - Previous task-based and referral GP rewards were removed. Now, points are earned solely via spot trading volume. - New trading tiers introduce fee discounts based on cumulative trading volume, though zero-fee trading remains active indefinitely. - Referrals now offer 35% commission on invitees’ trading fees post-zero-fee campaign. - The GENIUS token will be created before April 12, 2026, with a TGE expected randomly before then. Despite platform bugs from high traffic, Genius’ strong backing (including investment from YZi Labs and CZ as advisor) and confirmed TGE make it noteworthy. With a potential $300M FDV and 10% airdrop, each GP point could be worth ~$0.15. Early participants may have profitable opportuniti...

Yesterday, Genius, a DEX that has been highly discussed recently, announced new point rules on platform X: Season 1 will end on April 12, with an additional 50% airdrop quota.

Notably, the Genius team stated that the GP points earned from trading volume have been retained. Congratulations to those who participated early through the point-earning guide shared by Odaily Planet Daily (click here to jump to the article: YZi Labs Invests Tens of Millions, CZ as Advisor—How to Earn Genius Points?). These users may have already "made a fortune" in GP points (platform website: https://www.tradegenius.com/).

Early users "aggressively" traded to earn massive GP points from volume

Below, Odaily Planet Daily explains Genius's new GP point rules to help users better participate in platform interactions and earn GP points.

Season 1 Total of 200 Million GP Points, 125 Million GP Points Still to Be Distributed

The community had many questions about GP point distribution. This time, the official emphasized that Season 1 has a total of 200 million GP points, with no additional issuance. The specific distribution is as follows:

  • 75 million GP points have been distributed, which are the trading points earned by users before the platform updated the whitepaper. GP points from referral rewards have been reclaimed;
  • 125 million GP points are still to be distributed, including 5 million GP points from the wheel-of-fortune reward. Referral reward points and trading task points have been canceled.

The remaining 125 million GP points will be distributed starting at 5:00 AM UTC+8 today (January 20), with 10 million GP points distributed every weekend. Additionally, points are allocated using a weighted distribution to ensure that whale traders do not monopolize all GP releases, allowing smaller traders to also receive GP allocations.

Notably, the trading volume weight for stablecoin USDT to USDC conversions has been adjusted to 0.5x, while the weight for other spot trading volumes remains 1.0x.

Other Changes in the New Rules

As explained by the team members in the official Telegram, on one hand, all previous GP task points (trading tasks + referral tasks) have been cleared; on the other hand, under the new rules, GP points can only be earned through spot trading volume.

Official explanation of the new rules

New Trading Tiers

The new trading tier divisions and fee discounts are as follows:

  • Level 1—Smart: Cumulative trading volume of $100,000, trading fee 0.3%;
  • Level 2—Ultra Genius: Cumulative trading volume of $1 million, trading fee 0.2%;
  • Level 3—Mastermind: Cumulative trading volume of $10 million, trading fee 0.1%;
  • Level 4—Mogger Genius: Cumulative trading volume of $100 million, trading fee 0.05%.

The current zero-fee trading promotion's end date has not been announced.

Referral Rewards

Referring friends for trading no longer earns GP points, but after the zero-fee promotion ends, users can earn a 35% commission from the trading fees of invited friends.

For example, if an invited user's trading fee tier is 0.2%, the rebate earned would be 0.07% (35% * 0.2%).

GENIUS Token to Be Created Before April 12, 2026

According to the documentation, the GENIUS token will be created before the end of Season 1. Therefore, TGE will occur randomly between now and April 12.

Platform Has Many Bugs, But Strong Funding Background and Confirmed TGE Make It Worth Attention

Since its launch a few days ago, Genius has been overloaded due to a large influx of studios, resulting in frequent bugs. Although the team has been working to resolve issues, some functions still have problems and cannot fully satisfy users. As of now, referral points and trading tasks have not been fully removed, and the wheel-of-fortune reward is still under maintenance.

With the new rules update, TGE will occur before April 12, significantly increasing the certainty of earning from Genius. With only 200 million GP points distributed before TGE, GP points will be particularly "valuable," and the cost of earning them will only increase. KOL Nathan stated, "With tens of millions in investment, the FDV should be around $300–500 million. Congratulations to those who got on board early, earning 37.5% of the total airdrop in just 3 days." Based on the data below, with a $300 million FDV and a 10% airdrop allocation, each point would be worth $0.15.

Genius Point Value Estimation

Perhaps it is still worth interacting now, while trading fees are still zero and the new rules have just been launched.

Agent Race Ends, Super Workbench Takes Over

The era of fragmented AI agents is ending. Over the past month, China's tech giants—Tencent, Alibaba, and ByteDance—have simultaneously shifted strategy: instead of launching new, standalone AI agents, they are consolidating their various agent projects into unified "super workbenches." Tencent integrated its QClaw teams into WorkBuddy, a strategic product hailed as a potential third flagship after QQ and WeChat. Alibaba is merging its QoderWork, Wukong, and MuleRun agents into a new "Qianwen Office" platform under DingTalk's leadership. ByteDance rebranded its TRAE SOLO coding agent to TRAE Work, signaling a broader focus on workflow collaboration. This convergence marks a pivotal industry consensus. The initial exploration phase, where companies rapidly built numerous overlapping agents for different scenarios, proved costly and inefficient. With open-source tools eroding technical barriers, competition has shifted from agent creation to resource consolidation and cost control. Historically, platform wars are won not by creating more products, but by simplifying them—as seen with browsers unifying web access and super-apps consolidating services. Now, the "super workbench" aims to become the unified AI entry point for work. This reflects a deeper market realization: the primary audience for AI is no longer just programmers (a market in the tens of millions) but all knowledge workers (a market of billions). The real opportunity lies in augmenting everyday tasks—managing emails, documents, data, and meetings—across the entire workday. The core battleground is becoming control over the primary AI entry point that employees use daily. Tencent's WorkBuddy leverages WeChat and Tencent Docs; Alibaba's Qianwen Office taps into DingTalk's organizational data; ByteDance's TRAE Work integrates with Feishu's workflows. Whoever owns this "super workbench" gains strategic control over orchestrating enterprise data and APIs. This shift is redefining enterprise software. Traditional SaaS applications, valued for their user interfaces, will recede into the background. Their core functionalities will be exposed as standardized "Skills" or APIs for the super workbench's agents to invoke. Software value will shift from selling user seats to charging based on API calls and outcomes delivered. The evolution of agents is moving through clear stages: first as novel standalone products, then as consolidated primary work entry points, and finally as pervasive, invisible capabilities embedded into the digital fabric. The recent moves by major tech firms signal the transition from the first stage into the second, accelerating toward the third. In the end, the most successful agent technology may become invisible—like electricity or the HTTP protocol—a fundamental, unnamed infrastructure powering work itself.

Michael Saylor: 110 Reasons to Oppose BIP-110

Michael Saylor presents 110 arguments against Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) 110, a soft fork aimed at restricting certain non-monetary data storage uses (like inscriptions) on the Bitcoin blockchain. He acknowledges the proponents' valid concerns—such as node costs, fee pressure, and preserving Bitcoin's monetary focus—but fundamentally disagrees with the proposed solution. Saylor argues that BIP 110 represents a dangerous precedent of using consensus rules to enforce value judgments on transaction validity, moving away from Bitcoin's core principles of neutrality and permissionless innovation. His key objections are organized into eleven categories: 1) It violates neutrality and hard consensus by banning currently valid transactions. 2) It fails to meet the high burden of proof required for a consensus change, lacking concrete data on the alleged crisis. 3) Its seven bundled technical restrictions are overly broad, targeting generic script functionalities and blocking future upgrade paths. 4) It sacrifices compatibility and future optionality by closing off designed upgrade hooks. 5) Its temporary rules add significant complexity (grandfathering, expiry states) without sufficient justification. 6) The economic and security impacts, particularly on miner revenue and fee markets, are uncertain and unmodeled. 7) Superior, market-based tools (fee markets, relay/mining policies) already exist to manage blockchain load. 8) It stifles innovation by creating a chilling effect for developers. 9) Its modified activation mechanism (55% threshold, forced signaling) is aggressive and risks network splits. 10) The precedent it sets—using consensus to suppress disliked but legal uses—is more dangerous than the problem it aims to solve. 11) A better path exists: improving measurements, refining resource-based policies, and allowing market forces to work. Saylor concludes that Bitcoin's strength lies in its neutral rules, open markets, and hard consensus. Changing these foundational elements to target specific use cases is an unnecessary and risky "iatrogenic" intervention. He advocates for guarding Bitcoin's neutrality rather than acting as its redeemer.

United Stables Crosses $1B As Chainlink Data Feeds Secure U Token Collateral

United Stables' U token has surpassed $1 billion in market capitalization, with Chainlink Data Feeds providing the critical pricing and collateral data infrastructure across its deployment chains. This milestone highlights that robust oracle infrastructure is essential for stablecoin credibility, as DeFi protocols require reliable data for integration. Chainlink's role is foundational, enabling automated collateral auditing and pricing verification, which helps make the U token safer for the broader market to evaluate and use. While this strengthens Chainlink's position in the stablecoin infrastructure narrative, it does not directly guarantee increased fees or value for LINK token holders. The growth of U indicates both widening competition in the stablecoin sector and the increasing dependence of scalable stablecoins on dependable external data services.

BonkDAO Treasury Drain Shows Solana Governance Risk Is Real

The BonkDAO treasury suffered an approximately $20 million drain due to a malicious governance proposal passed through the Realms platform on Solana. This incident highlights governance as a critical attack surface for DAOs, distinct from smart contract exploits. The attack leveraged the DAO's own voting mechanics to move funds, demonstrating that flawed governance design—such as weak proposal rules or voter weight calculations—can be exploited even when the underlying blockchain functions correctly. The event serves as a warning for Solana DAOs to rigorously review and strengthen their governance safeguards, including quorum thresholds, timelocks, and execution permissions. While damaging to community trust, especially for the prominent BONK meme ecosystem, the issue is not a failure of the Solana base layer but a widespread application-level risk common across blockchain ecosystems.

Midnight Token Falls After $13M Wanchain Bridge Exploit

Midnight's NIGHT token plummeted roughly 30% following a $13.2 million exploit on a Wanchain cross-chain bridge. The attacker drained 515 million NIGHT tokens by exploiting a signature reuse flaw in the bridge's infrastructure, not the core Cardano or Midnight networks. This incident highlights the persistent vulnerability of cross-chain bridges, which are critical for asset transfers but introduce complex security risks. While the underlying blockchains remained secure, the token's price suffered due to liquidity disruption and lost market confidence. The response from Wanchain, including pausing the affected bridge and providing clear communication on recovery efforts, will be crucial for stabilizing the situation. The event serves as a reminder for traders to factor in bridge-related risks when evaluating tokens reliant on cross-chain liquidity.
