🐕‍🦺Surging Memecoin Looks To Las Vegas Sphere For Promo Push

GM Defiers!

Dogwifhat, the recently rocketing Solana-based memecoin, raised $691,000 USDC to fund the token’s logo hosted on the Las Vegas Sphere. The news comes after the project’s WIF token gained 758% in the past 30 days.

EtherFi’s token generation event has been pushed ahead of schedule by one month, with Binance announcing it will list ETHFI from March 18. The listing will follow four days of farming on Binance Launchpool and also comes as EtherFi is wrapping up Season 1 of its points campaign.

Aevo’s airdrop distributed $97 million worth of tokens to early adopters, giving the asset a more than $3 billion fully-diluted valuation. However, some recipients are complaining about the fees associated with claiming the token on the Ethereum mainnet.

Plus, we spoke to leading Layer 2 developers to find out about the lesser-known EIPs included in Ethereum’s freshly deployed Dencun upgrade.
