Billionaire Peter Thiel-backed Founders Fund led a $5 million purchase of governance tokens ANVL for the DeFi collateral protocol Anvil, with participation from Pantera Capital, Theta Blockchain Ventures, Bullish, and Protoscale Capital. The specific terms and valuation of the transaction have not been disclosed. Anvil stated that the purchased tokens come from the project's existing treasury and are not newly issued.Anvil is based on Ethereum and aims to use digital assets as collateral for financial commitments such as payments and credit. Its development company, Anvil Research Labs, has simultaneously launched an SDK to help businesses and financial institutions integrate the protocol without the need to write blockchain code. Consensus, Bitcoin.com, and payment company Flexa have been listed as partners.Currently, the total supply of ANVL is 10 billion tokens, with a circulating supply of about 8 billion tokens. The Anvil network's TVL is approximately $14 million. Unlike traditional DeFi lending protocols, Anvil primarily provides guarantees for financial commitments through on-chain collateral assets rather than allowing users to borrow and pay interest.

Web3 asset data platform RootData issued a daily transparency alert on Twitter (X), highlighting the lack of information such as team details, key calendar events, and token data for projects like Mars Protocol, Anvil, Lynex, AstridDAO, and Hatom Labs. It calls on project teams to submit/update their information on RootData to improve their transparency scores. Additionally, RootData stated that it will continue to monitor and expose "black box" projects that lack core information.It is reported that RootData's transparency score is used to measure a project's integrity and timeliness, aiming to reflect the project's information disclosure status, urging project teams to immediately claim their projects. The transparency score is categorized from A to F, with a total of 5 levels from high to low; the lower the score, the more incomplete the project's information disclosure, and the higher the risk of wrongdoing, requiring investors to be highly vigilant.

ChainCatcher news, the AMP Foundation (AF) has announced the launch of the initial phase of the Anvil protocol mainnet and the introduction of the governance token ANVL for the protocol. The Anvil protocol aims to become a scalable collateral primitive in the DeFi space, with the ANVL token governing all core matters including protocol upgrades, asset backing, and external contract approvals.AF stated that to support the Anvil mainnet launch, ANVL tokens will be airdropped for free to addresses providing AMP collateral on the Capacity platform. The snapshot will be taken at Ethereum block height 20,000,000, expected around June 1, 2024, UTC. At that time, users' ANVL holdings will correspond 1:1 with their staked AMP holdings.It is reported that the ANVL obtained from the airdrop will follow a linear release plan over 48 months, starting 12 months after the snapshot date, for a total of 60 months. Users must complete an action on the anvil.xyz/claim website or interact with the ANVL claiming contract on Etherscan within 12 months after the snapshot to prove the validity of their address, or they risk having their ANVL allocation confiscated.
