It operates with a dual-token system supporting governance and compliance. AxonDAO's projects include biometric research on dementia, PTSD studies for first responders and veterans, and decentralized clinical trials. It is recognized in the decentralized science (DeSci) community and has partnerships with companies like NVIDIA.
4. Ethena Stablecoin (USDe)
Ethena introduces the USDe, a synthetic dollar stablecoin that is non-custodial, censorship-resistant, and collateralized with Ethereum and ETH derivative positions to maintain price stability. USDe offers high yields compared to other stablecoins and is available on platforms like Uniswap and Curve.
5. Ordinals (ORDI)
Ordinals utilizes the Ordinals protocol to inscribe data onto individual satoshis, allowing for the creation of unique digital assets similar to NFTs. These tokens can be traded on major exchanges such as Binance and OKX and have potential as digital collectibles.
6. Jupiter (JUP)
