Degen Weekly: NFT Futures, EVM on Terra, and DAO Investments
Degen Weekly is a new series we've launched to quickly introduce some emerging projects each week. Some of these projects may only have one or two hundred Twitter followers, meaning they're extremely early-stage—high-risk with uncertain returns. Most haven't even issued tokens yet. This series is purely for enthusiasts' analysis and research purposes and should not be taken as any form of investment advice.

Degen Weekly is a new series we’ve launched to quickly introduce you each week to emerging projects—some with only a few hundred Twitter followers, very early-stage, high-risk, and uncertain returns. Most haven’t even issued tokens yet. This is purely for enthusiasts to analyze and research, not as any form of investment advice.
Earnmos
As the first yield aggregator on Evmos, Earnmos aims to:
Lower the entry barrier for EVM users. This will help bring EVM users to Evmos and expand its user base. The Cosmos Interchain ecosystem differs from single-blockchain systems, so Earnmos provides an entry point for EVM DeFi users to participate in DeFi and the broader Cosmos Interchain ecosystem on Evmos, maximizing efficiency in both user experience and capital utilization.
Offer simple and convenient usage. Earnmos delivers a unique user experience tailored for non-technical investors or those who want to interact with serious traders without deep involvement. This will attract and retain more users on Evmos.
Enable multi-chain opportunities. In the future, multiple chains will coexist for specific purposes, making the landscape more complex than today’s single-chain ecosystems. Users prefer tools that offer one-stop solutions.
Be community-driven. Earnmos believes in the power of community, especially in a multi-chain future. Everyone has limited time and cannot master everything—such as other blockchains or DeFi protocols. Earnmos needs a community to share and support each other. Additionally, Earnmos does not want a single dominant figure to control the project.
NFTperp
NFTperp exists due to certain problems present in today's NFT market.
Blue-chip NFTs like BAYC and CryptoPunks are too expensive for 99% of the Web3 community to participate. Most people don’t have 80–100 ETH sitting in their wallets to buy jpegs. These assets have become exclusive to "whales," leaving retail investors out.
Currently, NFT investors can only hope to buy low and sell high, with no way to hedge their positions. For these reasons, NFT futures have emerged.
Membrane
Membrane is an over-the-counter (OTC) trading protocol enabling multichain net settlement, trading, and lending of crypto assets. It primarily integrates all OTC trades and credit flows into a single KYC/AML-compliant platform. In doing so, the platform enhances liquidity sourcing efficiency by allowing participants to instantly view all anonymous OTC buy/sell orders across the market, while taking on most technical and operational risks. It reduces counterparty risk through margin enforcement, net settlement, and trade failure procedures. Beyond trading, lending, and liquidation features, Membrane users can earn BRANE tokens proportionally based on their platform activity and gain rights to a share of total platform fees. In essence, BRANE functions as a fee rebate token.
Membrane’s initial target users are self-custodial OTC desks accessing on-chain strategies. Later, Membrane will launch the BRANE token and introduce “trading mining,” where participants earn proportional emissions of BRANE tokens based on their activity and can stake these tokens to receive rebates on platform fees.
AngelDAO
AngelDAO is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that supports various projects through funding, software development, network engagement, and community building. Our team consists of blockchain natives experienced in token modeling, Web3 software development, DeFi, UI/UX design, marketing, and community organization. The DAO is deployed on Aragon and Gnosis, whitelisting members’ Ethereum addresses to vote on decisions, representing their ownership. Quorum requires a simple majority of current members. Our DAO technology is fully upgradable, designed to evolve and deliver new functionalities for our members.
AngelDAO focuses on providing venture, technical, and marketing support to projects driving global adoption and technological innovation in distributed systems and decentralized finance. We employ a data-driven research process to identify opportunities while maintaining collaborative efforts among DAO members to reach consensus on decisions.
Leaf
Leaf Reflection Protocol (LRP) is an innovative financial protocol that makes staking easier and more efficient while delivering the most stable crypto returns to LEAF token holders. LRP offers a unique decentralized finance (DeFi) asset that rewards users with long-term fixed compound interest using its proprietary ARP protocol.
As a pioneering DeFi protocol, it creates benefits and value for LEAF token holders. The ARP used within Leaf tokens provides the following advantages:
Auto-compounding — You don't need to re-stake your tokens. Interest compounds automatically and is paid directly into your wallet, ensuring you never miss a payout.
Easy and secure earnings — Since LEAF tokens remain in your wallet at all times, there's no need to hand them over to third parties or centralized entities. Simply buy and hold, and rewards are automatically credited to your wallet—no complex staking procedures required.
Low risk via Leaf Insurance Fund (LIF) — The Leaf Insurance Fund holds 5% of all transaction fees, helping maintain staking rewards by stabilizing prices and reducing downside risk.
Fixed APY — Leaf pays up to 682,500% in the first year—higher than any other product in DeFi to date. Rates decline after the first 12 months under a predetermined photosynthesis system.
Lightning-fast interest payouts — Every 15 minutes—96 times per day—the Leaf protocol distributes reflections to all LEAF token holders, making it the fastest auto-compounding protocol in the world.
Auto Token Burn — One of Leaf’s most interesting features is the “BURN” automatic token burn mechanism, which prevents circulating supply from becoming unmanageable. BURN destroys 2.5% of all LEAF tokens traded.
Daily Limits — Leaf’s Smart Investor Protection System (SIPS) safeguards the liquidity pool against bots and malicious whales, making it one of the safest reflection tokens.
Lift
Trading is complex—and options trading even more so.
Lift changes this by simplifying complex strategies, allowing you to express your views easily and transparently. Lift streamlines the most popular options trading strategies and clearly presents their risk/reward profiles. You can choose a strategy aligned with your outlook—bearish, bullish, or neutral—without spending months learning options theory. In TradFi, access to such strategies is typically limited to high-net-worth clients through private bankers. DeFi changes that, and Lift makes these strategies accessible to everyone.
Orbit EVM
Orbit is an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) built on Terra. Orbit enables developers to harness the full power of both the Ethereum and Terra ecosystems, leveraging all the familiar and easy-to-use Solidity tools.
In 2021, despite explosive growth in the Terra ecosystem, developer experience lagged behind. When it comes to developer tooling, Ethereum remains the gold standard. Orbit combines Terra’s thriving ecosystem with Ethereum’s developer strength, multiplying the number of people exploring Terra without facing development barriers.
