🚨 CRYPTO: FLARE PROPOSES PROTOCOL-LEVEL MEV CAPTURE AND 40%... INFLATION CUT IN FLR TOKENOMICS OVERHAUL Flare ☀️ published a governance proposal to capture maximal extractable value at the protocol level and redirect it from external searchers and builders to the network itself. The plan would make Flare one of the first Layer 1 blockchains to capture MEV natively rather than letting it flow to specialized third-party actors. Annual $FLR inflation would drop from 5% to 3% and the hard cap would fall from 5 billion to 3 billion tokens per year. The base gas fee would increase 20-fold from 60 gwei to 1,200 gwei, raising estimated annual burn from 7.5 million FLR to 300 million, while standard transactions would still cost a fraction of a cent. The proposal creates the Flare Income Reinvestment Entity to collect protocol revenue from attestation fees, FAsset and Smart Account fees, confidential compute fees and captured MEV. FIRE's mandate is reducing FLR supply through open-market buybacks and burns.show more

Ondo's tokenization bet is showing up in the numbers... $ONDO is up around 27% on the week and roughly 13% on the day near $0.40, with 24-hour volume jumping over 150% to $237m as the real-world-asset trade heats back up. The spark was Ondo's recent launch of tokenized stocks backed by Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation's tokenization service, its most direct bridge yet between public blockchains and traditional US market plumbing. The price is riding real traction, with protocol TVL now around $3.54b and @OndoFinance holding a commanding share of the tokenized-equities market. Some of this is a broader RWA rotation lifting the whole sector, but the DTCC tie-up gives Ondo a specific reason to be leading it.show more
