Market-making approach with limited funds, practicing order placement and inventory management; more focused on smooth curves rather than huge profits.

Holding above 200 means there’s still a chance. Keep a close eye on trading volume next, and don’t rush to push higher.

$TAO is gaining momentum again, rising 4.54% to trade near $205.91.
The AI narrative continues to attract interest, but price still needs sustained participation. Holding above $200 would keep short-term sentiment constructive.

I went through the on-chain records and saw a few sandwich trades that made quite a lot of money, but to be honest, I’m not really brave enough to touch that kind of front-running arbitrage. For one thing, with a small capital base, you can’t out-hustle those professional bots. For another, it just feels like you’re paying fees for someone else—at the end of the day, the arbitrage opportunity you see is basically a road someone else carefully laid out.
Thinking about it, that’s kind of funny. I used to even wonder whether I should give it a try, but now I’m more used to simply placing limit or

Just saw someone else guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens, with points being farmed like crazy. Honestly, I’m actually calmer. Not pretending to be cool—just a habit: every time I see this kind of hype, I first check the transparency of stablecoin reserves.
Take USDC’s de-pegging event, for example. Back then, someone in the group was shouting to buy the dip, and my first reaction was to flip through Circle’s reserve reports and on-chain data. After reading, I felt that this thing is, in essence, more about panic-driven runs than about actual risk, but the liquidity tightening was d

I just saw another old post about a cross-chain bridge going wrong, and it’s been floating on the homepage. Honestly, every time I see stuff like this, my scalp goes numb. My own capital isn’t big; I usually just slowly grind with small orders. But those minutes on the bridge when it says “waiting for confirmation” are the minutes I truly don’t dare to skip.
At first I thought it was annoying. Later my mom asked me, “Hey, you transfer money and still have to wait for half a day—won’t it get swindled away by him?” I told her, “Mom, this is the settlement layer mutually confirming the ledgers. O

I keep seeing the word “modularization” lately. Honestly, I haven’t really understood it—what does it actually change for ordinary users?
What I understand is that, previously, one single chain handled everything; now it’s split into several layers, with execution, consensus, and data each taking care of their own parts.
But for someone like me—a small market maker retail trader—it feels like a back-end matter. On the front end, trading is still the same: you click in, place an order, view the K-line chart, put in orders, and there’s nothing really new or exciting.

Honestly, after looking at a few projects’ recent treasury spending and milestone announcements, I’m a bit stunned. Not every spending move means they’re “doing real work.” Some projects are burning money even more diligently than I’m posting orders, but on-chain inventory management looks downright awkward. Anyway, what I care about now is whether they’re continuously spending in a direction that helps smooth out the curve—not just burning money to show off. The recent little spat over NFT royalties has also been pretty interesting: creators want royalties, the secondary market wants liquidit

Recently, I’ve really been worn out by multi-chain wallets—my assets are scattered here and there, and I can’t even keep track of them myself. Honestly, I’m quite afraid of the impulse to “go all-chain and take it all,” but the truth is, fragmentation is the norm. For now, I’m slowly learning a clumsy workaround: concentrate my main positions on two chains, and treat the little stuff on other chains as “observation positions.” Use a Cex as a transfer hub, so at least I can figure out the flow of funds.

I just came across a post-mortem on a hacked cross-chain bridge, and it reminded me that the other day when I was waiting for cross-chain confirmations, I was a bit annoyed at having to wait… But honestly, waiting a few minutes longer isn’t really anything. In any case, I’d rather pay a bit more in fees and take a slower bridge—I’m not rushing for speed. Multisig is better; at least you can see who signed. Oracles are more hidden—once something goes wrong, it’s a chain reaction blast. It feels like a lot of people are anxious about things like staking unlocks and token unlocks, but the securit

Today I noticed the oracle update cadence is running slow again, and it’s actually a bit behind—somehow that’s pretty interesting. Liquidity is already low over the weekend; once the quotes lag, orders like ours—small ones—are actually more likely to fall into a trap. Plainly put, I originally just wanted to do a bit of inventory management, but in the end the price feed started stuttering and my loan collateral was suddenly hit hard. My small position was swept straight up to the liquidation line—who wouldn’t feel awful?

I’ve gotten fed up with project teams “selling promises” lately—especially after the cross-chain bridge hack. Instead of issuing statements right away, many teams choose silence, waiting for clarification and consensus… To put it bluntly, the people who actually do the work aren’t afraid of you checking the treasury. I wrote down just one line: don’t just look at the timeline for milestones—track where the money went and what they left on-chain.

Hey, just call it a day with stop-loss. Every time I cut my losses, it feels like a breakup. This is the third time I’ve kept a limit order hanging for three days—I still couldn’t bring myself to slash it. In the end, the interest racked up the loss first. Forget it—anyway, it’s inventory management. Admit the loss earlier; keeping the curve smooth is better than anything else. Lately, the “airdrop tasks” are so competitive they might as well be a day job. The points-based system is anti–anti-bot (anti-Sybil), and even the “hair-collectors” have started clocking in for morning meetings. I’ll j

I just adjusted the price range of a small order book in my inventory management again. Every time there’s an on-chain “cut-in line,” you realize that no matter how fast your hands are, nobody’s as quick as their robot. My own capital isn’t big either. I’m using smooth-looking order-posting charts, and I don’t want to get my mindset blown up because one order got messed up by a frontrun. Once, I watched a market-making order get squeezed right between two MEV transactions; it ended up forming a big wedge shape. It was pretty brutal, but very real.
So now I’ve learned to be smarter: on chains w

When I was placing the order just now, the data lagged again—RPC rate limiting plus Subgraph sync delay made me think my quote was wrong. It’s actually fine; the indexer is just bouncing around in the middle, and the data isn’t refreshing as fast. I wrote one note to remember: when the data freezes, don’t panic—wait two seconds and then confirm, so you don’t accidentally place the order askew due to the delay.
Lately, rate-cut expectations and the U.S. dollar index have been swinging up and down together, making things tough. But with my small amount of capital market-making, I care more about

Just got called out by my roommate, saying I’m more interested in on-chain data than in stocks… Where am I being “that interested”? I’m only genuinely curious about how those MEV bots actually cut in line.
Lately I’ve been looking at data from a few on-chain tools, and it feels a bit laggy. Some label systems show whale addresses, but when I check, turns out the people already swapped wallets a long time ago. Put simply, the so-called “transparent ordering” is only so-so—if slippage control isn’t handled well, small orders still get sandwiched.
Anyway, now when I place orders, I leave a bit of

Just saw a discussion where someone set an infinite approval before going to bed, and when they woke up their account had been drained. Honestly, even thinking about it makes me break out in a cold sweat. As market makers, what we fear most isn’t price volatility—it’s this kind of basic mistake in fund security. Infinite contract approvals, put simply, are handing your private key to a stranger to use, and telling them they can spend it however they want. It’s far better to spend a minute before sleep to fully revoke permissions—just like locking the door; that sense of security is real.

Back when the funding rate spiked to ridiculous levels, I really did waver about whether to go up and join as an opponent. Then I thought it through—my position is only that small, and if I had to ride out a violent move and got slapped from both sides, it wouldn’t be worth it. Sure enough, after just getting through those two days and waiting for the funding rate to return to the normal range before slowly placing orders, the curve ended up being much more stable. Anyway, as a market maker, this isn’t like robbing a bank—steady is better than anything.

According to Crypto界.com news, Wu Shuo learned that Injective stated in a post that it has officially submitted a transfer agent registration application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As the custodian responsible for maintaining ownership records in the securities market, the transfer agent handles core functions such as verifying shareholder identity, voting rights, and processing transfers of ownership. Injective plans to migrate this functionality on-chain, aiming to improve settlement speed for tokenized securities, increase record transparency, and enable compliant processes through decentralized infrastructure. Injective said that this deployment will support the U.S.-compliant expansion of infrastructure for regulated real-world assets (RWA).

Crypto world news, citing a CBS report: The U.S. Department of Defense has recently assessed military operation plans targeting Cuba, including large-scale aerial assault options to be carried out by the 101st Airborne Division. Insiders say the discussions do not mean the Trump administration has decided to take action. With many U.S. military resources currently concentrated in the Middle East, the likelihood of an operation against Cuba is limited. The U.S. says it still prefers to drive reforms in Cuba through diplomacy and economic pressure. The Pentagon responded that it does not comment on hypothetical military actions.
