Original Article Author: CryptoLeo, Odaily Planet Daily
Life is not easy, and hodlers are crying. With the current market sentiment being tepid, it may be a good time to shift focus to new projects. Odaily Planet Daily has compiled a list of projects worth paying attention to recently, categorized into two main groups: DeFi and projects with recent funding announcements.
Friendly reminder: Participating in new projects involves certain risks. It is recommended to exercise risk management and due diligence. It is not advisable to invest a large amount of funds in the initial stages.
DeFi Category
1. Stout
Project Overview:
Stout is the native lending protocol on Sonic, with a current Total Value Locked (TVL) of $4 million. It is currently possible to borrow the protocol's stablecoin, DUSX, by providing wS, stS, wETH, veSTTX. The protocol consists of four tokens:
· STTX: Provides support for the protocol, equivalent to Stout's base token, with a token deflation and burn mechanism. Long-term holding is not recommended, and the best approach is to lock it as veSTTX;
· DUSX: Over-collateralized stablecoin, can be exchanged 1:1 with USDC through the protocol's PSM;
· veSTTX: Governance token and collateral asset, providing a 98% loan-to-value (LTV) ratio;
· stDUSX: Staking token, earning 75% of the protocol's revenue, with a staking APY of 24.47%.
When engaging in lending projects, it is important to pay attention to the project's liquidation threshold. On Stout, each collateral type has a different maximum ratio. Its liquidation mechanism involves when a Collateral Debt Position (CDP) reaches a collateral type's liquidation threshold, the user still repays the debt in exchange for some collateral.
Reasons to Watch: Part of Sonic ecosystem's DeFi protocol; high loan-to-value (LTV) ratio; stDUSX staking APY of 24.47%.

Mixin has launched USTD-margined perpetual contracts, bringing derivative trading into the chat scene.
The privacy-focused crypto wallet Mixin announced today the launch of its U-based perpetual contract (a derivative priced in USDT). Unlike traditional exchanges, Mixin has taken a new approach by "liberating" derivative trading from isolated matching engines and embedding it into the instant messaging environment.
Users can directly open positions within the app with leverage of up to 200x, while sharing positions, discussing strategies, and copy trading within private communities. Trading, social interaction, and asset management are integrated into the same interface.
Based on its non-custodial architecture, Mixin has eliminated friction from the traditional onboarding process, allowing users to participate in perpetual contract trading without identity verification.
The trading process has been streamlined into five steps:
· Choose the trading asset
· Select long or short
· Input position size and leverage
· Confirm order details
· Confirm and open the position
The interface provides real-time visualization of price, position, and profit and loss (PnL), allowing users to complete trades without switching between multiple modules.
Mixin has directly integrated social features into the derivative trading environment. Users can create private trading communities and interact around real-time positions:
· End-to-end encrypted private groups supporting up to 1024 members
· End-to-end encrypted voice communication
· One-click position sharing
· One-click trade copying
On the execution side, Mixin aggregates liquidity from multiple sources and accesses decentralized protocol and external market liquidity through a unified trading interface.
By combining social interaction with trade execution, Mixin enables users to collaborate, share, and execute trading strategies instantly within the same environment.
Mixin has also introduced a referral incentive system based on trading behavior:
· Users can join with an invite code
· Up to 60% of trading fees as referral rewards
· Incentive mechanism designed for long-term, sustainable earnings
This model aims to drive user-driven network expansion and organic growth.
Mixin's derivative transactions are built on top of its existing self-custody wallet infrastructure, with core features including:
· Separation of transaction account and asset storage
· User full control over assets
· Platform does not custody user funds
· Built-in privacy mechanisms to reduce data exposure
The system aims to strike a balance between transaction efficiency, asset security, and privacy protection.
Against the background of perpetual contracts becoming a mainstream trading tool, Mixin is exploring a different development direction by lowering barriers, enhancing social and privacy attributes.
The platform does not only view transactions as execution actions but positions them as a networked activity: transactions have social attributes, strategies can be shared, and relationships between individuals also become part of the financial system.
Mixin's design is based on a user-initiated, user-controlled model. The platform neither custodies assets nor executes transactions on behalf of users.
This model aligns with a statement issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 13, 2026, titled "Staff Statement on Whether Partial User Interface Used in Preparing Cryptocurrency Securities Transactions May Require Broker-Dealer Registration."
The statement indicates that, under the premise where transactions are entirely initiated and controlled by users, non-custodial service providers that offer neutral interfaces may not need to register as broker-dealers or exchanges.
Mixin is a decentralized, self-custodial privacy wallet designed to provide secure and efficient digital asset management services.
Its core capabilities include:
· Aggregation: integrating multi-chain assets and routing between different transaction paths to simplify user operations
· High liquidity access: connecting to various liquidity sources, including decentralized protocols and external markets
· Decentralization: achieving full user control over assets without relying on custodial intermediaries
· Privacy protection: safeguarding assets and data through MPC, CryptoNote, and end-to-end encrypted communication
Mixin has been in operation for over 8 years, supporting over 40 blockchains and more than 10,000 assets, with a global user base exceeding 10 million and an on-chain self-custodied asset scale of over $1 billion.
