Explore how Enzyme (MLN) empowers decentralized, tokenized fund creation and management, revolutionizing DeFi investment for all users.

 (DeFi) protocols have been around since 2015, when the 

 (ETH) blockchain was born. For the past decade, DeFi has been a major driving force in the crypto industry. As it often happens, things that worked perfectly in the early years of the DeFi revolution no longer adequately meet the needs of today’s users.

In order to stay competitive and relevant, DeFi protocols need to adapt to the evolving nature of the industry. New features that are quickly becoming must-haves include cross-chain functionality, architectural modularity, 

 (AI) and, importantly, user empowerment. This last point is probably the most important one — DeFi solutions today need to support decentralized protocol management, and allow their end-users to be the real driving force behind the platforms' value-generating activities.

Enzyme Finance, formerly known as Melon Protocol, is a DeFi platform that allows users to create and manage tokenized funds and strategies that other users can invest in. Enzyme aims to empower DeFi users by allowing anyone to become an investment manager or crypto investor — or both. Enzyme fund managers generate value for themselves, other users and the protocol, while fund investors support value-generating activity with their liquidity contributions.

 (MLN) is an Ethereum-based DeFi protocol that allows users to create tokenized investment products on-chain. 

Other platform users can invest in these funds to earn returns. These tokenized products, created as vaults, follow various trading strategies set by the vault creator. Additionally, creators can assign delegated traders to their vaults who can optimize the strategies followed by the vault. As such, Enzyme acts as a decentralized noncustodial solution that serves the needs of skilled crypto fund managers, traders and ordinary investors who would like to see their investments grow.

Enzyme’s protocol empowers the various groups of DeFi users and breaks down the barriers to entry to investment management, active trading and investing. In the world of traditional asset management, creating and launching an investment fund product is an extremely costly and time-consuming procedure. It could take aspiring institutional entities months, if not years, to get their fund vehicles approved, and the financial requirements for a successful asset management product are often staggeringly high, sometimes running into millions of dollars.

In stark contrast to the onerous requirements of traditional funds, launching your tokenized fund product on Enzyme Finance can take from minutes to a few hours at most. There are no significant capital requirements for a vault, either, and fund creators can assign a variety of fees and rules for joining their investment vehicle. Therefore, investors might need to meet certain requirements, depending upon the settings defined by the vault creator.

Enzyme Finance is among the oldest surviving DeFi protocols on the market. The project was initially conceptualized and founded in 2017 under the name Melon Protocol by mathematician Rito Tinkler and former vice president of Goldman Sachs, Mona El Isa, who also acted as the CEO of Melonport, the now-defunct private company behind the Melon Protocol project.

In 2019, Melon was launched on the Ethereum 

. The following year, Melon rebranded to Enzyme. Over the years, the platform underwent multiple version upgrades, culminating in the latest version, Enzyme v5. The latest version of the protocol has implemented (or aspires to implement within 2025) several innovations and improvements, including more cross-chain product options, better architectural modularity, simplified protocol fees, 

 as its infrastructure layer to support vault creation, depositing, trading strategy execution, cross-chain transfers and other key functions required for tokenized fund management and investing.

Vault creators are provided with easy-to-use tools to launch their tokenized asset management funds and execute fund operations — without any programming skills required. These tools help creators automate strategies to do the following:

Creators can also assign the role of Delegated Trader to users who are ready to help optimize the vault's yield using their own strategies.

Another key user group is the depositors, who invest their funds in the vaults to earn returns.

The platform also welcomes builders — developers who can contribute their own third-party solutions to improve the Enzyme ecosystem. Typical contributions by builders include the functionality to bridge Enzyme vault strategies with off-platform (and often, off-chain) financial vehicles. Builders also help develop specialized products for additional functions on Enzyme — such as an app to attract early liquidity, users and investors for projects at a pre-launch stage.

Enzyme.Blue is a specialized solution for institutional entities. It acts as an all-in-one platform for tokenized asset management, trading, analysis and valuation. While anyone can use the core Enzyme protocol, Enzyme.Blue provides all the necessary tools for complex fund management that addresses the needs of the most sophisticated enterprise users.

Using Enzyme.Blue, institutional digital asset managers can access over 30 DeFi protocols for features like 

Enzyme.Onyx is another enterprise-grade, packaged solution offered by Enzyme Finance. To be launched in the summer of 2025, Onyx offers institutional asset managers an advanced wallet tokenization layer. Wallets linked to Enzyme.Onyx can be used to seamlessly collect deposits from multiple participants and allocate the funds to a virtually unlimited variety of protocols and strategies.

Onyx is envisioned as a tokenization and asset management solution with more options in terms of assets and accessible blockchains than Blue. Per the project’s website, Onyx will boast network compatibility with any blockchain, whereas Enzyme.Blue is compatible with Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum (ARB) and Polygon (POL). Unlike Blue, Onyx will boast ultimate cross-chain accessibility. The number of cryptocurrencies supported by Onyx will be “unlimited,” while Blue features support for over 200 crypto assets.

Enzyme.Myso is a secure platform for creating, managing and trading on-chain options strategies. For options traders, Myso provides a rich set of customizable features. It also boasts wide token support, deep liquidity and on-chain, noncustodial settlement.

Enzyme.Myso may be an ideal product for options-based strategies for a wide variety of 

 entities. A typical user of Myso could be a digital asset management firm, a crypto whale or a 

MLN is Enzyme Finance’s native cryptocurrency. An ERC-20 asset on Ethereum, the MLN token has a number of key functions within the protocol. To begin with, users pay fees on Enzyme with MLN to utilize the services offered by the platform, including launching vaults and investing in them. MLN that’s collected from the protocol’s fees is automatically 

 in order to maintain supply scarcity for the asset.

The Enzyme network has also committed to minting 300,600 MLN each year to fund its ecosystem development. The Enzyme Council DAO can then allocate these MLN funds as grants to promising initiatives. Any unused MLN from these yearly allocations is burned at the end of the year.

Additionally, going forward, the token is envisioned to be used for governance as well, so MLN token holders will have the right to vote on the direction of/changes to the protocol.

MLN has a total and circulating supply of 3,001,195, with no specified supply cap.

 in Bybit's Innovation Zone as a Perpetual contract based on USDT. The contract allows you to trade with up to 50x leverage.

As of Apr 29, 2025, the MLN token is trading at $9.51, which is 96.3% lower than its ATH of $258.26 on Jan 4, 2018, and 430.5% higher than its ATL of $1.79 on Mar 13, 2020.

Long-term price forecasts for MLN are mostly bullish. DigitalCoinPrice

Enzyme Finance helps fund managers decentralize traditional asset management and apply diverse investment strategies. Its technology is among the leading solutions for institutional entities to launch completely customizable, own investment funds in the area of on-chain asset management. For individual users, the protocol can also be a great source of cost-effective investments, thanks to the variety of vault strategies it offers.

Additionally, the platform's enterprise-focused products enhance user experience by providing a unified asset management environment with a rich tool set to manage the most complex strategies. 

Thanks to Enzyme, cryptocurrency portfolio management has never been easier, both for fund managers and investors.

Enzyme (MLN): The backbone of tokenization finance

In this article, we’ll explore Zora’s decentralized social network, the ZORA token launch, and how Bybit users can trade ZORA on Bybit.

The social media landscape is currently flawed. Its challenges for creators range from opaque monetization policies to platforms that take a big cut of creators’ earnings. Zora, a decentralized social media protocol, aims to fundamentally change this paradigm, giving creators control over their content and introducing novel monetization techniques through tokenization. 

In this article, we’ll explore Zora’s decentralized social network, its key features and the ZORA token, and learn how Bybit users can participate in the Zora launchpool event.

Zora is a new decentralized social media protocol with a unique approach to content monetization. It allows creators to tokenize every post (text, image or video) by allowing each post to be minted as an 

 (termed a “Content Coin”). Zora is built on the 

 incubated by Coinbase. On Apr 17, 2025, the official Base X account 

 the “Base is for everyone” content coined on Zora. Following that post, user activity on the platform spiked.

Zora was co-founded by Jacob Horne and Dee Goens. Horne, a former product manager at Coinbase, is recognized for his advocacy of open-source 

 infrastructure, and Goens contributes his expertise in community development.

The project has successfully completed several funding rounds. In 2020, Zora secured $2 million in seed funding with participation from firms including Kindred Ventures and Coinbase Ventures. This was followed by a $10 million raise in 2021. The project's growth continued with a Series B round on May 5, 2022, expected to raise $50 million at a valuation of $600 million.

Zora launched its Ethereum-based NFT marketplace, known as “Auction House,” in January 2021. This was designed as a decentralized, permissionless platform to empower creators to mint, list and auction their NFTs. One key innovation introduced by Auction House was the concept of the 

 to improve NFT liquidity. Over time, Zora expanded beyond Auction House and Ethereum, transforming into a comprehensive decentralized social media platform. It uses the same ERC-20z standard to create a tradeable coin from each piece of published content. 

Each of these coins has a total supply of 1 billion units, with 10 million automatically allocated to each coin’s creator. These tokens are instantly tradable on 

 (DEXs) such as Uniswap via the Base network, providing liquidity and enabling creators to monetize their work. Additionally, creators earn a 0.5% fee from each transaction involving their tokens, offering a new avenue for content monetization.

ZORA tokenomics and token unlock schedule

Zora announced the launch of ZORA community coin — along with its airdrop details and tokenomics — on Apr 21, 2025. The coin went live on Base two days later (April 23). 

The total supply of ZORA is 10 billion, with initial allocation as follows:

According to the project’s official docs, the ZORA token was launched “for fun only.” ZORA token holders have neither governance rights, nor a stake in the Zora protocol.

The tokens will be unlocked linearly as follows:

 on Apr 23, 2025. Users can stake ZORA, MNT or USDT to earn a share from a substantial prize pool of 100,000,000 ZORA tokens. 

The event runs through April 30, 2025, 1PM UTC. Staking requirements are as follows:

Glossary

A limit order is a function in cryptocurrency trading that allows you to establish the exact price range for selling or buying your digital assets, particularly in terms of the minimum and maximum prices.

In the dynamic world of trading, understanding and effectively utilizing limit orders is crucial. This comprehensive guide will explore the ins and outs of limit orders, their strategic importance in trading, and how they can be a game-changer for both novice and experienced traders.

A limit order is an instruction to buy or sell a security at a specific price or better. Unlike market orders, where transactions occur immediately at the current market price, limit orders give traders control over the price at which they're willing to trade.

The Role of Limit Orders in Trading Strategies

One of the primary advantages of limit orders is their ability to help traders control entry and exit points. By setting a specific price, traders can plan their trades more strategically, leading to potentially more favorable outcomes.

. For instance, traders might set a buy limit order at a support level or a sell limit order at a resistance level, identified through technical indicators like 

A key benefit of limit orders is risk management. By predefining the price, traders can prevent buying too high or selling too low, thus managing potential losses.

A buy limit order is placed below the current market price and executed at the limit price or lower. It's often used in anticipation of a bullish reversal after a price decline.

Conversely, a sell limit order is set above the current market price and executed at the limit price or higher. This is typically used to secure profits before a potential bearish reversal.

For comprehensive trade management, limit orders can be combined with 

. This approach allows traders to set both a target price and a stop-loss to manage risks effectively.

Limit orders are versatile and can be adapted to various market conditions. In a 

, for instance, sell limit orders can be particularly effective.

The cryptocurrency market, known for its volatility, can greatly benefit from limit orders. For instance, in Bitcoin trading, a well-placed limit order can capitalize on sudden price movements, as explained in 

Limit orders are not just for Bitcoin; they play a significant role in 

, or others, limit orders can be a valuable tool.

Imagine you're eyeing Bitcoin but find its current price too high. Setting a buy limit order at a lower price point, based on your analysis or the 

, can help you purchase it at your desired price.

If you own Ethereum and anticipate a price drop, a sell limit order set above the current price ensures you sell at a profit before any potential decline.

Understanding and utilizing limit orders is a fundamental aspect of successful trading. Whether you're involved in cryptocurrency, stocks, or any other market, mastering limit orders can significantly enhance your trading strategy.
