We've made a couple of small UX improvements on Aster. You might have noticed them already.
New users now have a 6-step guide to walk them through getting started.
And we've made it much easier to share feedback, with a new entry point right on the trading page.
We'd love to hear what you think and what else we could do better!
infiniFi Prime is bringing diversified Private Credit to fintech earn accounts
It’s a really exciting collaboration between:
- @infiniFi productization
- @withAUSD stablecoins
- @FasanaraCapital yields
- @MidasRWA vaults
- @monad settlement
♾️
The next generation of Earn accounts is coming onchain.
infiniFi is partnering with @withAUSD & @FasanaraCapital to bring institutional-grade yield to neobanks and fintechs through infiniFi Prime, launching on @monad.
Three pieces of infrastructure.
One massive opportunity🧵

Tree-BTE lays the groundwork for post-quantum encrypted mempools
Check out Tree-BTE 🌳, our new tree-based approach to designing batched threshold encryption (BTE), the cryptographic tool for encrypted mempools.
Tree-BTE can be instantiated with different cryptographic hardness assumptions to yield different properties. For example, with a lattice-based hardness assumption, we get a post-quantum secure BTE scheme with >100x faster decryption than prior lattice-based schemes.
Instantiations based on other assumptions (such as DDH, DCR, LWR) are also possible. Check out our paper on eprint.
Shoutout @LlamaRisk for great analysis and automation in support of @aave Monad. PT-AUSD-17DEC2026 now live
Risk management at scale
PT-AUSD-17DEC2026 on @Aave V3 @Monad is live with dynamic risk parameter updates, enabling a market priced to @Pendle_fi’s implied rates.

Proposal: end OSMO inflation.
New OSMO minted per day goes to zero. At the current burn rate, that means ~2% of supply burned a year, with nothing minted to offset it.
Staking rewards would come entirely from protocol revenue.
In discussion now, targeting onchain October 20.

Agents will increasingly drive financial decisions. Build for agents!
OnRe's ONyc, previously only on Solana, is coming to Monad! ONyc is a tokenized reinsurance yield token with a current AUM of about $200M
This deployment adds to the effort to make Monad the best network for the widest range of opportunities for everyone
ONyc is coming to @monad 🟣
Built by @onrefinance, ONyc gives onchain exposure to reinsurance-backed yield. Returns come from underwriting premiums and collateral, not crypto-native incentives.
Until now it's only been on @Solana. nONYC packages it through @plumenetwork Vaults, so it can be used across EVM networks.
The BLUB team has been building runt.fun since August. A launchpad on Sui.
Some of you already knew the two were connected. Today we're making it official and putting the terms out in the open, so everyone knows how this could play out.
Why runt.fun, why now, and is it actually going to work?
We could give you the usual pitch. Launchpads are profitable when they're done right, the market is huge, look at what pump.fun built, and so on.
Truth is, we woke up one day with the same feeling we had when we started BLUB: there's something here.
We've been in Sui waters since 2024. Two things we know we've got:
• a real feel for internet culture
• founders with nothing to lose and everything to prove
That's pretty much what the name means, by the way. The runt is the smallest of the litter. The one nobody bets on.
There's also a trap we know we could fall into. We're a Sui team, so our stack is basically decided before we even start, and that's not how good products get built. Nobody starts a product thinking "I need to use AWS."
So we flipped it. We're building for people who aren't on Sui yet, who aren't in crypto, who've never used anything like this. Sui is under the hood because its primitives are good enough to make the crypto part fade into the background.
Being crypto native is still our edge, though. Polymarket runs on Polygon, and a team that didn't know what crypto made possible would've had a hard time building it. Same idea here.
Reality check: maybe a third of what makes a product like this work isn't fully in our hands. Market conditions and timing, mostly. We're going in with our eyes open. The other two thirds are on us.
So what changes for $BLUB?
Nothing, really. BLUB stays BLUB. runt.fun is its own brand, and if you visit it a few months from now you probably won't even see our name on it.
Here’s the deal between the two: 20% of runt.fun’s platform profit goes into buying BLUB on the market, up to a $10M cap.
Does that mean $10M in BLUB buys is on the way? No. It means that if runt.fun takes off, part of what it earns turns into BLUB buys. The product could also fail miserably and never bring in even $100k. Either way, the deal only ever buys. It never sells. Worst case, it adds nothing.
As for the goal, it's mostly the fun of the challenge. More of the economy lives on the internet every year, and building something that speaks to traders, risk takers and a market moving millions every day is about as satisfying as it gets.
Timeline: Q1 2027. Follow @runtfun to watch it happen, or join the Telegram and build it with us. Link below.
Back to work.
