What Is a Simple Agreement for Future Token (SAFT)?
A SAFT is an investment contract that guarantees an eventual transfer of ownership of crypto tokens from developers to investors. Through the use of the SAFT, which is regulated financial security, finances can be arranged before the token’s launch while giving future ownership rights to SAFT holders. Included within the contract is the precise contribution of the investor, as well as the amount of discounted tokens that would be made available to them. In addition, the contract would also explicitly state the future date upon which the transfer of cryptocurrencies will be executed.
SAFTs are often mistaken for initial coin offerings (ICOs), which is a more mainstream form of token financing. However, unlike ICOs, SAFTs are directed primarily to accredited investors instead of public users on a launchpad. As a result of this setup, the general public is restricted from having access to the security, and SAFT holders would need to meet specific criteria in terms of income, experience, net worth, etc. This points toward the exclusivity that is intrinsic to these agreements and how they essentially guarantee ownership rights to their holders. This setup allows financial institutions such as investment banks or hedge funds to participate in token financing without having to worry about regulatory concerns. On the other hand, cryptocurrency developers, through SAFTs, have the benefit of accessing financing mechanisms that are linked to mainstream financial channels. The way SAFT is structured, it could ideally be implemented to jumpstart development on a cryptocurrency before its ICO is initiated after it is shown to have potential.
Similarly, SAFTs hold core distinctions to cryptocurrencies themselves because they are regulated. Tokens are technically not classified as securities, given that their existence on the blockchain overrides governmental jurisdiction. SAFTs are entirely in compliance with the regulatory and legal framework of the particular jurisdiction, as it is a security tradeable within the mainstream financial system. With its unique characteristics, SAFT bridges the world of blockchain to that of mainstream financial institutions and thus occupies a unique space in the broader dimension of tokenomics.
However, it is important to point out that SAFT is a conventional contractual agreement and, therefore, not a blockchain-embedded smart contract. As a result, it does not hold the core characteristics of self-execution or immutability. However, despite these gaps, SAFTs can be enforced in a court of law, given that it falls within legal and regulatory jurisdiction.
#FTM broke the flag, retested it and dropped good and out previous trade also performed well. Trade moved around 12-13% in favor. It time to book some. Price can form a double bottom formation and might continue to move up.

The market conditions seen in Q2-Q3 2021, a much more significant Short-Term Holders experienced a much more significant duration of 70 consecutive days in acute financial stress. That period of time was severe enough to break investor sentiment, and gave way to the destructive 2022 bear market. By comparison, this cycle has been relatively forging for the time being.
Читать полностью…#BTC made an another drop, and reaching the market structure point. That's the last resort for On Daily TF. a Successful break and close below will lead the bearishness in market.
Читать полностью…Short-Term Holder supply grew significantly from January 2024, coinciding with spot ETF launch and price surge. Recent months show plateaued demand growth, indicating Q2-2024 supply-demand equilibrium. Now, a supply surplus exists as Long-Term Holders hold positions and new buyers decrease.

Читать полностью…Price performance relative to each cycle low, the 2023-24 market has behaved eerily similar to the last two cycles (2018-21 and 2015-17). The reason for Bitcoin following such a similar path is a regular topic of debate, but it continues to provide a valuable framework for analysts to think about cycle structure and duration.

Notably, the STH Sell-Side Risk has contracted to historic lows, with only 274 out of 5083 trading days (5%) recording a lower value.

What Is a SHO (Strong Holder Offering)?
A strong holder offering (SHO) is a fundraising mechanism where eligible investors are chosen based on their on-chain activities and other proprietary data sets. Notably, a Strong Holder Offering enables a project to attract funding from individuals who are holders of a given cryptocurrency. An SHO model targets public investments and is a product of DAO Maker, which heavily uses it to help launch new projects in the crypto space.
An SHO can be open to people who have held a competitor coin for six months or to active liquidity providers on a decentralized exchange (DEX). In addition, an SHO may focus on individuals with a transactional volume of more than $5 million in the last month.
The framework generally benefits not only a crypto project but also investors who have “strong hands,” or those who can hold on to a coin for extended periods of time. DAO Maker incentivizes investors with strong hands by choosing them as participants of an SHO while also offering them protection.
However, the crowdfunding model also allows participants to seek refunds should they want to withdraw support since DAO Maker’s update on the offering. SHO has already been renamed to refundable Strong Holder Offering (rSHO). Note that the right to a refund expires if the value of the token issued by a project during the initial Strong Holder Offering increases and holds at 400% for 120 days.
Furthermore, DAO Maker subjects a project to a series of tests before opening the door to an SHO. In doing so, only a few startups can offer the service in 12 months, which means that only projects that can stick to their roadmap would dare to apply, consequently discouraging scammers and low-quality startups.
Zooming into Short-Term Holder losses specifically, we can see a total realized loss of ~ $595m was locked in by this cohort this week. This is the largest loss taking event since the 2022 cycle low.
Furthermore, only 52 out of 5655 trading days (< 1%) have recorded a larger daily loss value, highlighting the severity of this correction in dollar terms.
#BTC maintained the last resort and made a strong rejection from the support area. Price again above the strong support zone, and H4 shifted the direction. Market looks bullish, so we can expected a new Higher High soon next week.

A sidechain is linked to the main blockchain, known as the mainnet or parent chain, using a two-way peg.
Sidechains were created to solve the critical issue of speed faced by the crypto world. Instead of having all processes on the main blockchain, a sidechain is used to simplify calculations while offering the same security as the main blockchain.
Sidechains can interact in different ways. However, at the core is the ability to exchange assets between chains with the help of a two-way peg. This peg comprises lockboxes on both chains. To understand how a lockbox works, imagine you are moving 1 BTC from the main network to a sidechain. First, you send the BTC to a lockbox address. Any BTC sent here is taken out of the total supply temporarily. Information regarding the sidechain address where you will send the BTC is included during the transaction. Once the transaction is complete, the sidechain lockbox will release 1 BTC and send it to an address on the main network.
How Do Sidechains Work?
The main chain user first needs to send coins or other digital assets to an output address where they are locked and unspendable anywhere else. After the transaction is complete, a confirmation is relayed across the chains. This is followed by a waiting period for added security. Afterward, the coins or assets will be fully transferred on the sidechain, enabling users to move them around freely on the new network.
Sidechains come in many variations depending on the functions they are built for. While both Liquid and Rootstock are Bitcoin sidechains, they function very differently since the latter is specifically created for the purpose of running smart contracts more efficiently.
Examples of Sidechains
Liquid Network
An example of a sidechain is the Liquid Network, a protocol built on top of the Bitcoin network. The block discovery period on this sidechain is just one minute, which is ten times faster than the main Bitcoin network.
Polygon
Polygon is an Ethereum sidechain designed to bring scaling solutions to public blockchains. It provides scalability while ensuring users have a better experience without compromising security. While it currently supports Ethereum, there are plans to support other blockchains to ensure blockchain interoperability and scalability.

What Is a Side Channel Attack?
A side channel attack is a hacking method that exploits a computer’s inherent “tells" that unintentionally convey information. These attacks take advantage of the seemingly harmless physical outputs of computers. For instance, an algorithm may be able to tell what kind of information has passed through a hard drive by measuring the sound of the hardware at work. The principle is similar to a bank robber listening to ticks in a safe as they turn a coded dial. However, these “ticks” don’t need to be based on sound.
Every computer is vulnerable to giving up clues in its operations. They give off sounds, light signatures and other telling signs that can all be used to communicate what is happening. In the world of cryptocurrency, these kinds of attacks could be used to discern when a private key is being put into a hardware wallet as it could radiate a higher signal.
Side channel attacks use information like timing, sound, power levels and more to begin breaking down the information and deducing key variables. The attacks can be used by hackers to glean almost any type of information if it is not sufficiently protected. This can be devastating to even the most encrypted networks that don’t account for what happens beyond the electronic ones and zeros that execute operations.
#US30 UPDATE :
#US30 failed to give a retest but continued to print a new All-Time High. Indice is now on its a retesting the support and expected to move up. It might go little lower and can take the opportunity LTF.
#DXY UPDATE :
#DXY still making the Bearish Market Structure but gave a break below too. It might be a fakeout and next week will turn to be a bearish, but structure is bearish, so with Monday Market Open, track the movement and play with direction.
#ETH UPDATE :
#ETH broke out of the consolidation and moved up with the retest of it. Price retesting the major resistance now and $3530. Eyes on the Daily Candle closure as it will decide on the rejection or a breakout and lead the direction.
We can also assess market volatility by measuring the percent range between the highest and lowest price ticks over the last 60-days. By this metric, volatility continues to compress to levels rarely seen, but usually after lengthy consolidations, and prior to large market moves.
