Welcome back to another edition of the ValiDAO Digest!

Each week, we update our dear readers with all the major developments happening within the ecosystems where we operate, provided by your very own local, organic, seed-oil-free validator.

Hyperliquid

One-click native spot BTC deposits/withdrawals are live on Hyperliquid, enabled by Unit.

This is made possible by the Guardian Network, a group of operators independently running an implementation of the Unit Protocol.

Spot BTC is only the first asset to be transferred to Hyperliquid, with SOL, ETH, and potentially various other assets coming in the future.

Unichain

Unichain Mainnet is live.

Users can now access cross-chain liquidity in a cheap and timely manner.

Unichain is a Stage 1 rollup from inception with permissionless fault proofs.

Additionally, the Unichain Validation Network (UVN) will be going live soon, where anyone will be able to verify blocks.

Story

Story Homer Mainnet is live, with the aim of reinventing the $61T IP market via Programmable IP.

The IP token has also gone live, with a time-based multiplier based on longer stake commitments.

Emissions will go live on March 4th, just a few weeks from now.

Initia

Another Interwoven Rollup built upon Initia has officially been announced.

Cabal is a governance black hole where users can deposit INIT and LP tokens in exchange for liquid, yield-generating assets.

Projects can bribe stakers for VIP incentive votes, sparking a flywheel of rewards for users and rollups alike.

MilkyWay

MilkyWay has revealed the first moo-dular restaking portal for any chain.

MilkyWay has also announced that USDC restaking is now available, in collaboration with Noble.

That's it for this week!

As always, we're committed to providing free-range, locally sourced, and seed-oil-free consensus services from geographically diverse locations.

Until next time!
