【Contribution】Sunrise Layer

Sunrise DA is the world's only Data Availability Layer (DA Layer) that supports Proof of Liquidity and off-chain Blob. Since the launch of its first testnet in July 2024, it has achieved global growth, exceeding 100,000 active users in just 3 weeks and 200,000 in 6 weeks, despite being a blockchain originating in Japan.

1. Sonic (EVM-compatible L1 Blockchain)

Sonic (formerly Fantom) is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain platform that provides excellent infrastructure and incentives for developers, supporting the building of next-generation decentralized applications (dApps).

  • Airdrop: 1:1 $S token distribution to former Fantom (FTM) holders + additional airdrops.
  • Supported Chains: Sonic (formerly Fantom)

2. SOON (Solana Technology Rollup for Other L1s)

SOON is a high-performance rollup solution utilizing the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), enabling the deployment of SVM-based Layer 2 on any Layer 1. This allows existing L1s to leverage Solana's high-performance virtual machine, improving blockchain scalability and efficiency.

  • Airdrop: Token distribution through NFT sales + incentives for ecosystem participants.
  • Supported Chains: Ethereum (BNB and others planned in the future)

3. Overtake (Web3 Gaming Platform)

OVERTAKE is a Web3 platform for gamers and developers, built on Immutable zkEVM. Users can connect their wallets and Steam accounts to create, play, and monetize games.

  • Airdrop: Earn POP badges and AP by completing quests, $OVT distribution later.
  • Supported Chains: Immutable zkEVM

4. TakerProtocol (DeFi Utilizing Bitcoin Liquidity)

TakerProtocol utilizes the NPOL (Nominated Proof-of-Liquidity) consensus to reward Bitcoin liquidity providers. This activates dormant Bitcoin liquidity and enables liquidity provision in various scenarios.

  • Airdrop: Earn points by running nodes and completing tasks, exchangeable for $TAKER.
  • Supported Chains: Proprietary L1 (EVM compatible + BTC support)

5. ShadowLiquidity Exchange (DEX with New Tokenomics)

Shadow Liquidity Exchange is a decentralized exchange (DEX) that employs a unique "x(3,3)" design, addressing the challenges of the traditional ve(3,3) model and enhancing long-term incentives for users and the protocol.

  • Airdrop: xSHADOW distribution for veRAM lockers, NFT holders, and early participants.
  • Supported Chains: Sonic (formerly Fantom)

6. Rate-X (Leverage and Yield Trading DEX on Solana)

RateX is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on Solana that enables leveraged yield trading. Its unique feature is the ability to isolate and trade the yield portion using leverage.

  • Airdrop: Earn points through trading and liquidity provision, usable for future token distribution.
  • Supported Chains: Solana

7. ZEROBASE (High-Speed Zero-Knowledge Proof Network)

ZEROBASE is a network capable of generating over 100,000 zero-knowledge proofs (ZK) per day at high speed. It utilizes TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) to handle user data securely.

  • Airdrop: Earn ZB points by staking USDT/USDC, exchangeable for $ZB tokens.
  • Supported Chains: Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Polygon

8. Paladin (Solana's MEV-Optimized Validator Client)

Paladin is an open-source Solana validator client forked from Jito, allowing validators to directly capture MEV (arbitrage) without causing losses to users, reducing fees paid to external searchers.

  • Airdrop: Staked PAL distribution to SOL stakers, with an anti-fraud mechanism.
  • Supported Chains: Solana

9. StakeStone (Omnichain Liquid Staking)

StakeStone is a liquid staking infrastructure that balances omnichain liquidity with automated optimal staking rewards. It offers liquid staking assets such as STONE for ETH, and SBTC and STONEBTC for BTC.

  • Airdrop: Airdrop + additional yield for participating in LiquidityPad.
  • Supported Chains: Ethereum, Bitcoin

10. UniversalX (Bridgeless Cross-Chain Trading Platform)

UniversalX is a non-custodial trading platform that enables trading across multiple blockchains without bridges. It supports over 12 EVM chains and Solana, allowing users to pay gas fees in any token.

  • Airdrop: No official announcement, past transaction history may be eligible.
  • Supported Chains: 12+ EVM chains + Solana

11. Abstract Chain (Pudgy Penguins Related ZK Rollup)

Abstract Chain is a Layer 2 network built on Ethereum by Igloo Inc., the parent company of Pudgy Penguins. It utilizes ZK rollup technology for low-cost and high-speed transaction processing.

  • Airdrop: Testnet transactions may be eligible for future token distribution.
  • Supported Chains: Ethereum (L2 ZK Rollup)

12. Starpower (Decentralized Power Management and Web3 Reward System)

Starpower connects air conditioners, storage batteries, and electric vehicles (EVs) in a decentralized network to achieve demand response (DR) and virtual power plants (VPP). Utilizing Web3 incentive design ($STAR token), participating users are rewarded for cooperating with power supply and demand.

  • Airdrop: $STAR token distribution for device integration and task completion.
  • Supported Chains: Solana
