Uniswap may launch a token issuance platform called Pools on the Robinhood Chain, with the infrastructure already online

According to crypto KOL 0xSLK, Uniswap is developing a token issuance platform called "Pools" on the Robinhood Chain. The official website is now online, but the product is not yet open. The pools.trade page displays "Coming soon from Uniswap" and plays a video of a frog jumping into a pond. Research has found that the front-end code related to Pools contains a lot of product information, and its internal name is "Pools - create a token on Robinhood Chain." The "rh-cca" path is believed to be related to the Robinhood Chain and Uniswap's Continuous Clearing Auction (CCA) mechanism.The public code shows that Pools is expected to offer two token issuance models: Crowd Launch: using a 4-hour auction mechanism, with a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens, of which 50% is for auction, and the remaining 50% along with the raised funds is used to establish Uniswap v4 liquidity pools. If the $50,000 FDV target is reached, the tokens will complete migration and open for trading; otherwise, participants can get a refund. Instant Launch: similar to the Bonding Curve model, users can trade immediately, with 80% of tokens used for curve trading, and the remaining 20% and funds used for liquidity building, completing migration after reaching a $50,000 FDV. Currently, the on-chain infrastructure related to Pools has been deployed to the Robinhood Chain. Uniswap's official documentation shows that related contracts include CCA Factory, LiquidityLauncher, and LBPStrategy, among others. Data shows that related contracts have generated hundreds of auction events and completed hundreds of token creations and migrations.Meanwhile, several tokens borrowing the concept of Pools have emerged in the market. Researchers point out that there is currently no official POOLS token, and any tokens named Pools, pools.trade, or UniFrog have not been confirmed by Uniswap Labs. Among them, the meme coin FRONG (which briefly surpassed a market cap of $7 million this morning, rising over 90% in 24 hours) has attracted attention for using a frog image similar to that in the Pools promotional video, but it is still just a community-issued token and not an official Uniswap project. The market is currently focused on whether Uniswap will officially open pools.trade, announce the first official issuance project, and release verified official contract addresses.

hot_img WorkBuddy has been online for three months with a DAU exceeding 13 million, and Tencent's office agent is accelerating commercialization

According to a report by Z Finance, Tencent's AI-native desktop intelligent agent platform WorkBuddy entered public beta on March 9, achieving a monthly active user count of 20 million across all platforms within 3 months, with daily active users surpassing 13 million, including over 2 million daily active users on the PC side, and a DAU/MAU ratio stabilizing between 65%-75%. The product is led by Liu Yi, Vice President of Tencent Cloud, with a core team of about one hundred people, classified internally as one of the highest priority AI projects. The team claims they are currently only "temporarily ahead by half a position."WorkBuddy is derived from Tencent's previously launched AI programming assistant CodeBuddy, which has already covered about 12,000 engineers within Tencent. The product completed prototype development on January 17, and after the public beta in March, it has undergone a total of 43 iterations, gradually integrating capabilities related to QClaw developed by the Tencent PC Manager team based on an open-source framework. The product adopts a multi-model access strategy, with the underlying self-developed Harness engine for unified scheduling.In terms of commercialization, at the end of April, Tencent Cloud adjusted its pricing: the SaaS enterprise version was raised from 78 yuan/person/month to 198 yuan, and the private cloud enterprise version was raised from 158 yuan to 316 yuan. Market information indicates that it has acquired thousands of enterprise clients and over one hundred thousand paid seats, with an estimated annual revenue of about 300 million yuan. Third-party evaluations show that the product scored an average of 2.31/4 points on 70 questions (Word category 2.85 points, Design category 1.45 points), indicating that it is still some distance from producing stable results without manual modifications.

Hyperliquid test online, stars feature, supports HIP-3 DEX address whitelist trading

The Hyperliquid testnet recently introduced a new feature called "stars." This feature introduces an optional trading address whitelist mechanism for the HIP-3 DEX, allowing deployers to restrict trading to only whitelisted addresses for opening or increasing positions. Currently, the whitelist size limit on the testnet is 10,000 addresses, while unauthorized addresses can still deposit into accounts and submit orders limited to reducing positions, in order to close or lower existing positions.Community members analyze that this feature is expected to expand the application scenarios of the HIP-3 DEX. For example, tokenized stocks, real-world assets (RWA), institutional indices, and other regulated products can open trading only to users who have completed identity verification (KYC) or meet access requirements through the address whitelist. At the same time, new markets can first open testing to market makers, partners, or community members, reducing the risk of encountering junk trading, wash trading, or malicious manipulation in the early stages of the market, while allowing non-whitelisted users to continue reducing positions, thus avoiding situations where users cannot exit their holdings due to permission restrictions.In addition, the stars feature does not change the permissionless nature of the Hyperliquid base layer but adds an optional access control feature that developers can enable or disable based on their needs. This means that scenarios such as DAOs, trading clubs, private equity funds, or partner-exclusive markets can build closed trading markets with access mechanisms while maintaining the advantages of the Hyperliquid matching engine and settlement layer. Currently, this feature is still in the testnet phase, and the official has not yet announced its specific uses; further application scenarios await confirmation with the mainnet launch and more developer documentation.

Robinhood Chain has been online for a week, with DEX trading volume exceeding 1 billion USD, ranking among the top five in the industry

According to a report by Decrypt, Robinhood Chain quickly became one of the most active public chains in the crypto market just one week after its launch.Official data shows that Robinhood Chain processed over 17 million transactions in its first week, with nearly 350,000 active addresses and a protocol TVL of approximately $250 million. The cumulative trading volume on the DEX surpassed $1 billion. On Wednesday, the single-day trading volume reached $568 million, with a 24-hour DEX trading volume of about $433 million, surpassing Hyperliquid and ranking fifth in the entire network.Driven by the explosive growth of the ecosystem, Meme coins on Robinhood Chain performed strongly, with Cash Cat's market capitalization exceeding $180 million, and tokens like Dog In Hood, Hoodrat, and Robinhood Summer seeing increases of several times or even dozens of times. Reports indicate that some traders turned $800 into over $1 million, while another user increased $85 to $2 million.As the underlying technology provider for Robinhood Chain, Arbitrum (ARB) has benefited significantly, with ARB rising about 20% on the day. According to the mechanism, Robinhood Chain will return 10% of the protocol's net income to the Arbitrum ecosystem.However, the report points out that currently, the activity of Robinhood Chain is still mainly driven by Meme coins, and whether it can smoothly transition to RWA and other application scenarios planned by Robinhood in the long term remains to be seen.
