The post MegaETH Co-Founder Responds to Pre-Deposit Termination: Refunds Planned, Abandons $1B Cap, and Reopens USDC-USDM Bridge Ahead of Frontier Mainnet appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. COINOTAG News reports that MegaETH co-founder’s brother, known online as @hotpot_dao, addressed the termination of the pre-deposit event. He stated the team’s dissatisfaction with the rollout and acknowledged gaps in readiness for the alternative plan, underscoring accountability to the community ahead of the mainnet launch. He explained the original aim: allowing community members to exchange some USDm ahead of time so they could access on-chain applications on day one. However, execution faltered and the market forecast proved off. The team had feared insufficient fundraising beyond $250 million, leading to no personal account limit, and now favors gradual ecosystem growth. Earlier, MegaETH signaled dropping the $1 billion cap, pledging refunds of funds raised via the pre-deposit bridge, and planning to reopen the USDC-to-USDM exchange bridge before the Frontier mainnet launch.

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

The post Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Wormhole is changing how its W token works by creating a new reserve designed to hold value for the long term. Announced on Wednesday, the Wormhole Reserve will collect onchain and offchain revenues and other value generated across the protocol and its applications (including Portal) and accumulate them into W, locking the tokens within the reserve. The reserve is part of a broader update called W 2.0. Other changes include a 4% targeted base yield for tokenholders who stake and take part in governance. While staking rewards will vary, Wormhole said active users of ecosystem apps can earn boosted yields through features like Portal Earn. The team stressed that no new tokens are being minted; rewards come from existing supply and protocol revenues, keeping the cap fixed at 10 billion. Wormhole is also overhauling its token release schedule. Instead of releasing large amounts of W at once under the old “cliff” model, the network will shift to steady, bi-weekly unlocks starting October 3, 2025. The aim is to avoid sharp periods of selling pressure and create a more predictable environment for investors. Lockups for some groups, including validators and investors, will extend an additional six months, until October 2028. Core contributor tokens remain under longer contractual time locks. Wormhole launched in 2020 as a cross-chain bridge and now connects more than 40 blockchains. The W token powers governance and staking, with a capped supply of 10 billion. By redirecting fees and revenues into the new reserve, Wormhole is betting that its token can maintain value as demand for moving assets and data between chains grows. This is a developing story.
