New Ethereum DeFi plays
A wave of early DeFi primitives is circulating on Ethereum and related networks — highlights include PoAIW mining (@minewithclaw), Draper‑backed AlpendMarket (a Canton Network privacy money market), and LoraFinance (MegaETH upside exposure) cited by community scouts this week, with DefiLlama upgrades and protocols like Jupiter and Cetus pushing ETH DAAs toward new highs (x.com) (x.com).
MineWithClaw’s tokenomics list a 210,000,000,000 CLAW total supply and a 24‑era halving schedule with Era 1 block rewards shown at 100,000 CLAW. (docs.minewithclaw.com) The protocol’s mining flow requires miners to call large language model APIs, submit outputs to an oracle network for on‑chain attestation, and mint tokens only after oracle verification; the project’s GitHub and docs state there was no premine or VC allocation. (github.com) (github.com/Cliai21/clawing) AlpendMarket’s front end lists Draper Associates and Boost VC as backers and advertises a Canton Network deployment (Mainnet v0.1) that is “confidential by design” with MEV‑free execution for private money‑market positions. (app.alpend.com) The Canton Network describes itself as a privacy‑enabled blockchain targeting institutional asset flows, positioning Alpend’s private positions as a built‑for‑finance use case on that stack. (canton.network) LoraFinance’s live site explicitly states it is built on MegaETH and markets “instant” position opens with seamless rent accrual for users. (lora.finance) MegaETH’s project page advertises sub‑millisecond transaction latency and capacity exceeding 100,000 transactions per second, metrics the Lora team cites for claiming Web2‑level UX. (megaeth.com) DefiLlama’s dashboard shows protocol tracking across 7,000+ projects and a headline Total Value Locked figure on the site, and recent analyses warn that protocol contract upgrades can create apparent TVL drops in DefiLlama’s feeds unless adapters are updated. (defillama.com) Jupiter’s market data records JUP trading volume equivalent to about ETH16,190.82 in the last 24 hours on CoinGecko, while Cetus markets itself as a concentrated‑liquidity DEX for the Sui ecosystem offering swap, earn and builder tooling.
