⬆️Mode Adoption Surges After Airdrop Announcement

Together with

GM Defiers!

Mode is the latest Layer 2 network to enjoy a surge in growth after announcing a points-fuelled airdrop campaign. Network TVL has rallied from zero to more than $64M within four days, while $24M is locked in native DeFi dApps.

In other news, dYdX unveils its 2024 roadmap, ENS teams up with GoDaddy, Bitcoin Stamps seek to rival inscriptions, and Pike Finance launches in beta.

Plus, the web3 community is unhappy with Jupiter for carrying out a JUP tokensale on its LFG launchpad.
