Moreover, the listing of its ARCH token on Crypto.com paves the way for future investors and Archway users, increasing its accessibility and visibility in the global market.

Outibid, developed by Astrovault, emerges as an innovative platform that merges gamified microsales with NFTs. A unique and appealing style to fundraise in the crypto environment.

Ethereum: Restaking and Scalability

EigenLayer brings news, this time by removing the 200K ETH limit in LST, introducing a 33% limit on restaking points, and welcoming new liquid tokens: sfrxETH, mETH, and LsETH. Deposits will reopen on February 5th!

Stader: New Goals

Stader has set two significant goals for this year: to accumulate 200,000 ETHx in staking and expand its network to 400 node operators. It has also announced Phase 2 of the ETHx tokenomics, supported by the SD token's Utility Pool, offering new participation and benefit opportunities for the community.

Fantom: Requirements Updated

Fantom has made it easier to create validator nodes on its network, reducing the requirement to just 50,000 FTM, democratizing the validation process and reinforcing the network's security.

Moreover, projects like Interport and Mummy Finance have achieved notable success, capturing the community's attention and support with impressive trading volumes.

Evmos: Community Boost and dApp Store

Evmos has launched its mega dApp Store with over 75 dApps available, offering a wide range of decentralized applications covering various needs and preferences. This initiative, led by the community, allows users to suggest and discover their favorite dApps in one place, fostering participation and innovation within the ecosystem.

Regarding the v16.0 update of Evmos, it has not only allowed the burning of 136M EVMOS but also reduced the token's inflation and established the burning of all transaction fees on the Cosmos network, marking a milestone in its economy management.

Polkadot: Gaming

Polkadot is gearing up to integrate with cutting-edge technologies that power popular games like Pokémon Go and Call of Duty Mobile, taking the gaming experience to a new level with the incorporation of decentralized elements, demonstrating blockchain's potential in the entertainment industry.

Injective: Volan Update and New Releases

Injective continues its expansion with innovations such as Ninji, its native wallet, and the introduction of real-world asset tokenization, exploring new frontiers in decentralized finance.
