Trading Moment: “TACO-Trade” Leads the Crypto Rebound—Bitcoin Back at $115 k, a New Cycle Begins?
Market Snap-back & Leverage Reset A single sound-bite did the trick. After Trump and Vance struck a noticeably softer tone on the U.S.–China trade war, equity futures flashed green and crypto followed in a violent relief rally. The brutal draw-down that preceded it is already being framed as the pivotal “cycle flip” of 2025. Funding rates on perpetual swaps have collapsed to lows last seen in the depths of the 2022 bear, proof that the market has just lived through one of the deepest de-lever...
Binance Wallet’s First Bonding-Curve TGE: What Makes Aptos DEX Hyperion Stand Out?
A New Way to Launch: Bonding-Curve TGE for RION Today at 16:00 UTC, Binance Wallet will debut its first-ever Bonding-Curve Token Generation Event (TGE), releasing the native token RION of Aptos-native DEX Hyperion. Participation is limited to users who hold Binance Alpha points; pricing and liquidity will be determined in real time by an on-chain bonding curve.Protocol Design: Hybrid Order-Book + AMM + Aggregator Hyperion is a hybrid decentralized exchange built natively on Aptos. It fuses an...
Which New AI Projects Are Worth Researching Ahead of the Hype?
Discovering protocols before they become hot topics and sharing them with you is extremely interesting. In my earlier "Be Early" series, I introduced projects like @TopHat_One, @Duck_Chain, @Cortex_Protocol, and @Infinit_Labs. These insights mainly come from the Moni Discover tool by @getmoni_io, an intelligent platform that helps users discover early-stage protocols. So, what new findings are on my January watchlist? Let's take a look! Limitus: A New Platform Integrating Web2, Web3, and AI @...

Wayfinder Recent Updates
According to ChainCatcher, OKX will list PROMPT (Wayfinder), with the following open times:
In April, Wayfinder announced an airdrop of 10 million tokens to players who completed social missions in the Yappers game, with 1 yap yielding approximately 2.85 - 3.7 PROMPT tokens.
Wayfinder Introduction
Wayfinder is a new AI protocol project developed by the Parallel team, aimed at bringing the power of AI agents on-chain to support Colony gameplay. Initially positioned as a tool combining AI and blockchain, it seeks to enhance blockchain interaction efficiency through AI agents (Shells) and navigation paths (Wayfinding Paths). Wayfinder can be used in various use cases in both gaming and non-gaming environments.
Wayfinder Team and Funding
Wayfinder represents Parallel's foray into the AI space from card games, with Colony being an AI-based on-chain survival simulation game where players can command AI agents to perform tasks, accumulate resources, and interact. The decision by the Parallel team to develop dedicated AI infrastructure led to the birth of Wayfinder.
Oscar Mar: Art Director and co-founder of Parallel, previously worked at Ubisoft, and graduated from the Vancouver Institute of Media Arts.
Perry Haldenby: Co-founder and CTO of Parallel, holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Waterloo, and was previously a co-founder at Amulyte.
Kalos: Also a co-founder of Parallel.
More importantly, Wayfinder has received strong backing from top-tier capital, with a valuation reaching $1 billion and a total fundraising amount of $85 million:
In October 2021, Parallel secured a $50 million round led by Paradigm, valuing the project at $500 million.
In March 2024, the team completed another $35 million raise, with participation from Solana Ventures, VanEck, Distributed Global, among others.
Wayfinder Application Narrative
Narrative determines the project's ceiling. One pain point of Web3 AI is unclear workflows, and Wayfinder's navigation paths provide transparency, with verified paths being reusable:
Game Resource Management: From the initial Colony game design, AI manages scarce resource generation to ensure fairness.
General AI Agents: On-chain AI assistants with autonomous decision-making capabilities that can execute based on navigation maps.
NFT Minting Assistant: Wayfinder acts like ChatGPT in the crypto space; once trained and relevant paths are developed, users can directly input commands.
Wayfinder Economic Model
The total supply of PROMPT is 1 billion, which is central to the ecosystem and used for participating in Wayfinder protocol governance and parameter adjustments, gas discounts, incentive mechanisms, and creating Shells:
A phased release mechanism controls the circulation pace, with plans to gradually release over three years, covering community rewards, the team, and other allocation parts.
Wayfinder Summary
Wayfinder is an AI+Web3 project with first-mover advantages in technical implementation, user experience, and ecosystem design. It is currently the top project in the Kaito Pre-TGE Mindshare. Note that the interaction deadline of April 14th is just 5 days away. Personally, I believe that transitioning from Parallel's gaming foundation to the AI track, with navigation maps at the core and a decent economic model, leaves room for substantial development if the team executes effectively.
