As August comes to a close, we're excited to share the latest developments across the networks we support. From ecosystem expansions to deep-dive guides and token utility updates, here’s what’s new:
- BTCFi: An introduction to how Bitcoin is evolving beyond “digital gold” into a productive asset
- Grass: Rewards and token utility explained
- Aptos: 2025 ecosystem update, growth from 250 to 330+ projects and counting
BTCFi: How to Make Bitcoin Work for You
Most Bitcoin simply sits idle, waiting for price appreciation. BTCFi changes that by enabling holders to put their BTC to work. From lending and borrowing to staking, stablecoins, and decentralized trading, these new tools let you earn yield and unlock liquidity while still benefiting from Bitcoin’s security. Learn how BTCFi is turning Bitcoin into a productive financial asset and what this means for long-term holders.
GRASS: How to Turn Bandwidth Into Rewards
The Grass Network lets you earn by sharing unused internet bandwidth, with rewards distributed through the native GRASS token. Instead of corporations monetizing your connection, Grass allows you to contribute bandwidth, earn Grass Points, and qualify for token rewards. With Season 2 of the airdrop underway and 170 million GRASS allocated for participants, users can explore how to earn tokens, stake them with routers, and take part in the network’s governance.
Aptos 2025: Beyond 330 Projects and Counting
This article offers a full overview of where the Aptos network stands today, essential context if you are staking APT or considering it. Aptos has expanded from 250 to over 330 active projects in 2025, supported by cheaper fees, faster consensus, and a rapidly growing DeFi sector. Stablecoin liquidity is up 85%, upgrades like Baby Raptr have improved finality times, and governance changes are reshaping staking rewards. Whether you’re a staker, builder, or user, this update explains what these developments mean for the long-term health of the network.
