PaddleFi Launches on Berachain to Unlock Hidden Value from NFTs and Meme Coins

Paddle Finance has launched on Berachain to help users unlock value from assets most DeFi platforms ignore, such as NFTs, LP tokens, meme coins, and real-world assets (RWAs). 

While others focus on big tokens and stablecoins, PaddleFi lets you borrow, trade, and bundle these ‘non-standard’ assets without selling them. Berachain, with a total value locked of $2.69 billion, fits perfectly with PaddleFi’s mission thanks to its Proof of Liquidity system, which rewards real activity. 

PaddleFi already holds $2.55 million in assets and has processed $3 million in volume in just April. It’s popular among NFT and Degen communities, offering them new ways to utilise their assets. As DeFi grows beyond standard tokens, platforms like PaddleFi could become essential by providing real tools for a wider range of users and assets.

How Plants vs. Zombies is Reinventing Blockchain Gaming

Web3 PvZ is shaking up blockchain gaming by mixing the fun of Plants vs. Zombies with new Web3 tech. 

Traditional GameFi games often crash due to issues such as token inflation and dull gameplay. Nevertheless, Web3 PvZ uses AI and a smart economy to keep things fair and exciting. 

Its AI system, Dr. Pump Treasury, monitors the game’s economy and adjusts rewards in real-time to keep players happy. Players can battle in PvE and PvP modes through a ‘Zombie-to-Earn’ system that’s fun and rewarding. 

Web3 Pvz also grows quickly on apps like Telegram and LINE, allowing people to play with just a simple click; the game’s ZP token powers voting, trading, and earning. With a team from companies like Ubisoft and Riot Games and backing from major exchanges such as Gate.io, Web3 PvZ plans to build a full gaming and metaverse world, creating more ways for players to earn and have fun.

It also works with big wallets like MetaMask and BlueWallet. Early buyers can pre-order Shell with two Keycards at a discount and enjoy extra rewards before the full launch in October 2025. Shell is more about storage. It’s about real, verifiable control over your crypto.

BloFin Joins Top Exchanges with Full Unified Trading Accounts

To meet various needs, BloFin offers three account types: Spot Trading Mode for simple trades, Spot and Futures Trading Mode for more advanced options such as copy trading, and Multi-Currency Margin Mode for high-value accounts (10,000 USDT or more). 

While Master Accounts stay in the traditional setup for easy use, sub-accounts unlock the full power of UTA. This shows BloFin’s strong push to create a top-level, flexible trading experience for all types of traders.
