Some university students are already building better products than teams that raised millions.
This weekend, our co-founder Daniel Malinovski represented Simplicity Group at the AVAX Workshop & Pitch Competition for UCL students, where he presented our work, served as a judge, and offered internship opportunities to students entering crypto.
It was impressive to see how many participants were already thinking in systems, designing for users, and pitching actual business ideas.
We hope to work with a few of them soon!
Big thanks to the AVAX team for having us.

Among the top 10 protocols on Solana ranked by annualized revenue, 6 are DeFi protocols. Their business models follow a clear trend:
- Revenue is driven directly by protocol usage: fees on swaps, lending, leverage, and trading volume.
- Jupiter, Drift, Raydium, Adrena, and SolTradingBot are all trading-focused, whether through perps, swaps, or sniping bots. Even Kamino, with its LP optimization and vaults, is indirectly tied to trading activity.

Pleasure to be working with great companies like Folks Finance. What they have achieved on Algorand (as a secondary objective) is worth a closer look:
275M ALGO locked into the protocol to mint xALGO, their liquid staking token.
After Algorand moved away from governance-based staking, the team launched a proper yield-bearing LST.
- APR: ~6%
- Revenue potential: 1.65M ALGO/year
- Current fee: 0% (incentivized growth phase)
- Planned fee: 10% on rewards
A strong case of protocol-level adaptation and product execution 🔥

You’re not building a generic crypto project. So why take a generic launch approach?
We’ve built tailored strategies for:
DePIN
Incentivize real-world infrastructure without destroying your token price
AI
Balance hype and long-term sustainability so you don’t get dumped post-IDO
Gaming
Model in-game economies and sink/reward flows with actual user behavior in mind
DeFi
Build systems that survive beyond liquidity farming and mercenary capital
Each vertical has its own quirks.
We know them. We’ve launched them.

What do $ZORA, $NIL, $BERA, $GUN, and $BID all have in common?
Each one underperformed compared to pre-TGE sentiment. They launched without being fully prepared.
Why? We have a fat research piece going into the why.
In the meantime, we help to launch with confidence, stability, and the right partners in place from day one.
Because we actually do the work:
- Audit the model
- Fix emissions
- Negotiate every deal
- Sniper-proof TGEs
- Build real demand
- Strong partnerships with the best players
This is how founders earn trust, and keep it.

Most DeFi strategies look like this:
1. Launch pool
2. Pray
We broke down a real DeFi strategy you can actually use, mapping out the pools you can build and how they connect.

The Philippines - a country where nearly half the population doesn’t have a bank account,
but almost everyone has internet access.

📍 SMX Convention Center
June 4, 13:45–14:15

Picking your TGE partners is like picking your co-founders.
Do it right, or enjoy thelong slow bleed .
The devil’s in the due diligence:
- Check their past work.
- Talk to projects they’ve supported.
- And read the contract. Every line. Twice.
We saw one agency contract that basically said:
“If we mess up, it’s not our fault. You're on your own”
If someone wrecks your launch with a careless post or shady campaign, you want that responsibility to be somewhere.
Go with who’s accountable.
