Is USDC on @arc the endgame for the evolution of money? In this video, I break down why stablecoins are a better alternative to traditional money. And why USDC, as the native gas token on Arc, has the potential to become a globally preferred digital currency. I'd love to hear your thoughts, so drop your feedback in the comments. Thanks! 🤍

Saw this post and immediately went to check mine. Happy to see my Programmable Money Bootcamp certificate; by @arc and @encodeclub ❤️ It was a fun exercise, and I learned a lot along the way. Congratulations to everyone who participated.

I have heard this many times now: “There are already hundreds of perp DEXs. Why would traders shift to @slx_fi x @fogo from the trading platform they already use for Perps?" And honestly, I understand this argument and the question is fair. Once people get comfortable with one product, only incentives can bring them over. I think incentives can bring attention, but they don’t create loyalty and it would only be for a short-term But a better trading experience does create loyalty and ensure long-term growth of the platform. As someone who has used @HyperliquidX and other perp DEXs regularly, the issue is not just UI or rewards. The real pain comes during execution. When the market is normal, every platform looks smooth. The UI feels fine, trades go through, and nobody really thinks about the structure behind it. When the market dumps hard, that is when the real weakness shows and this is when the real test of the platform arises like 10th Oct 2025 Scenario. Execution delay, settlement timing, bad fills and small glitches can easily turn into real losses. I have personally faced this, especially during fast market moves where even a few seconds can completely change the outcome of a trade. This is actually the thesis of @slx_fi and this is because it actually makes sense. It is not just coming with the usual “another perp DEX and incentives” angle. The real difference is the attempt to improve the basic trading structure itself. DFBA changes how matching works. Prism improves how flow is handled. Fogo gives the speed-focused environment for faster settlement and smoother execution. And for traders, this matters a lot. Because at the end of the day, incentives can bring traders once. But fair execution can make them stay for a long-term. Therefore, if SLX can give traders smoother fills, faster settlement, and less chaos during volatile market conditions, then I genuinely believe traders will not shift just for rewards. They will shift because the product solves a real pain they already feel. Perp DEXs may be saturated. But better execution is not saturated yet.

So @megaeth is doing something really cool with their NFTs and I think other chains should learn from it. The team is actually supporting NFTs in a meaningful way by integrating them into the @megaeth “use-to-earn” terminal, where holding certain collections gives real boosts and advantages. That instantly turns NFTs from passive collectibles into assets with clear utility inside the ecosystem. What this creates is a powerful loop. Builders launch NFTs that attract attention and onboard users. The ecosystem then rewards those users with tangible benefits. As NFT value increases, more people get curious and join, which brings in even more users who get to use the ecosystem applications and products. Just like a flywheel, once it starts spinning, it compounds. Most ecosystems don’t fully understand this or treat NFTs as side pieces. But the ones that lean into it properly create real traction and sustained growth. The real question is which ecosystem will adopt this model next?
