ohmybird digest · Monad TVL, physical AI data, GPU routing

Week of May 25 – Jun 1, 2026

Published 4w ago·by ohmybird

This week delivered a strong signal: a Monad-native lending protocol crossed $25M TVL and closed a pre-A funding round, yet still sits at 48k followers. scouts @Dylan_HODL and @Paul_Web3_ surfaced seven additional early-stage targets spanning physical AI data collection, decentralized GPU routing, and onchain credit rails. All but two remain pre-token. Below is what scouts flagged this week.

Feature: TownSquare hits $25M TVL on Monad

@TownSquarexyz is a decentralized lending and leverage protocol on Monad offering high-LTV efficiency loans up to 95% for stablecoins—well above the 70–80% industry standard. The project closed a pre-A round, bringing total funding to $16.25M, and announced $25M TVL on mainnet with partnerships including World Liberty Financial and a $100M USD1 institutional yield pipeline.

The system flagged it May 26 with a 52/100 score—highest of the week. @Dylan_HODL followed the account, and the AI verdict highlighted "legitimate early-stage DeFi primitive targeting capital efficiency." Green flags are concrete: mainnet live with real user activity, credible VC backing, and strategic focus on a high-performance L1. The 48k follower count and 2022 account creation align with the early-stage profile.

Red flags exist. The website displays "COMING SOON" for multiple core features—Yield Vaults, Lending Vaults, Loops, Voting—and the TVL widget shows $0.00 despite the $25M Twitter claim, pointing to UI or data sync issues. Still, the combination of live mainnet traction, institutional partnerships, and technical differentiation (95% LTV) makes this the most newsworthy catch of the week. No token yet; this is a pre-launch watch.

The rest of the week

Seven additional targets emerged across AI infrastructure, DeFi rails, and creator commerce—most pre-token, all early-stage, and each surfaced by scout activity and system scoring.

@ZenO4AI · Physical AI data network

ZenO builds a physical AI data network that captures real-world egocentric human motion for training robotics and embodied AI models. Live on Base mainnet, users contribute data via the ZenO Core smartphone app or browser-based robot teleoperation, earning XP and Prism rewards. The system converts smartphone IMU data into 6DoF trajectories—robot-trainable 3D motion. Account is 1.5 years old with ~40k followers.

@Dylan_HODL flagged it June 1 with a 50/100 score. Green flags: working product with active weekly missions, addressing a genuine robotics training data bottleneck. Red flags: no explicit token despite onchain Base integration, and reward mechanics lack tokenomics clarity. Pre-token.

@openGPUnetwork · Decentralized GPU routing

OpenGPU Network is a live GPU routing layer for AI compute launched March 2024, using a custom blockchain (OGPUS) for task verification. The platform claims 260+ active GPU providers across 40+ countries, 46M+ verified transactions, and 70% cost savings versus traditional cloud. Relay, its unified AI model API, supports Claude, GPT, DeepSeek, and Gemini, offering a 20% bonus when users pay in $OGPU.

@Dylan_HODL surfaced it May 26. Green flags: verifiable on-chain metrics on OGPUScan, completed enterprise pilot with CrunchDAO (11k+ ML engineers), and multi-platform provider apps. Red flags: 70% cost savings lacks third-party validation, and team information is absent. Despite being live, the project is listed as pre-token—likely still distributing or unlocking.

@anvil_xyz · Onchain credit layer

Anvil is building a universal onchain credit layer through Letters of Credit (LOCs)—fully secured financial guarantees backed by multi-collateral vaults. Mainnet launched March 2025, with real institutional partnerships including Coindesk/Consensus for conference sponsorships and Bullish exchange. Account is 16 months old with just 2.3k followers.

@Dylan_HODL followed May 26, assigning a 51/100 score. Green flags: novel use case (buy-now-pay-later for sponsorships), open-source contracts on GitHub, documented governance. Red flags: low social engagement despite institutional traction, and anonymous team references without full disclosure. Pre-token.

@Lid_onchain · Creator commerce routing

Lid is a Solana-based creator commerce protocol enabling programmable affiliate splits and instant USDC settlements in one transaction. Mainnet launched May 2025 with a 3% flat fee, selective creator onboarding, and real usage from crypto educators. Public team with 8–15 years of Web3 and SaaS experience, submitted to Colosseum FRONTIER accelerator.

@Dylan_HODL flagged it May 28, score 51/100. Green flags: revenue-generating transactions, clear value proposition, and early-stage footprint (~5k followers, <1 year old). Red flags: relatively low engagement may indicate early market-fit challenges, and no token launch mentioned. Pre-token.

@NullaNetwork · L1 privacy / homomorphic encryption

Nulla is a Layer-1 blockchain focused on homomorphic encryption and privacy-preserving computation. Token $NULLA is live on Solana, trading at ~$0.00036318—up 9.6% from detection at $0.00033127 (ATH $0.00095632). The network operates two active parachains (ProofHub, RWA marketplace) and is building cross-chain bridges to Ethereum. GitHub shows regular commits implementing quantum-resistant signatures (Dilithium, Falcon).

@Dylan_HODL followed May 29. Green flags: active technical development, working testnet infrastructure, advanced cryptography. Red flags: extremely low token price, CoinGecko rank #4210, no visible team, and account created October 2024 (very recent). This is the only target with a live, measurable token—and the only one up from detection.

@clickoptions_ai · Crypto options DEX

ClickOptions aggregates liquidity across Binance, Deribit, Bybit, and OKX to offer crypto options trading with claimed lowest prices and no liquidation risk. Live mainnet trading for BTC, ETH, SOL, DOGE, XRP, AVAX, XAUT. Account created September 2024, with 2,570 followers.

@Dylan_HODL surfaced it June 1, score 48/100. Green flags: working product with demo account, benchmark tools, and documented $120 savings per $1,000 traded. Red flags: no team or backing information, and unclear how a small platform sustains options liquidity. Pre-token.

@subyhq · Payment gateway

Suby is a payment gateway combining card and crypto acceptance with USDC settlement. Launched late 2024, it targets international businesses with 4% card fees versus 7–15% from Stripe or Lemon Squeezy. API, paylinks, and Discord/Telegram access unlocking are available. The platform claims 500+ users.

@Paul_Web3_ followed May 31, score 48/100. Green flags: working product with integrations, clear value proposition, and <4k followers fitting an early-stage profile. Red flags: very low engagement (avg 14) despite claimed user base, no team info. Token $SUBY is live on Solana, down 7.7% from detection ($0.00026577 → $0.00024537, ATH $0.00522353).

Bottom line

This week's targets split into three lanes: DeFi infrastructure maturing on new L1s (Monad, Base), physical AI and GPU compute heating up, and payment/credit rails still searching for traction. Seven of eight targets are pre-token—an unusual concentration. The Monad lending protocol and physical AI data network show the clearest product-market signals, while the two live tokens ($NULLA, $SUBY) both trade near or below detection, reinforcing that early price action is not yet a proxy for fundamentals. Infrastructure narratives—especially AI compute and onchain credit—are drawing builder attention, but retail eyeballs remain elsewhere.

FAQ

What is Monad and why does its TVL matter?

Monad is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain attracting DeFi protocols. TownSquare, a Monad-native lending protocol, recently crossed $25M TVL with a pre-A funding round, signaling early traction on the chain. Growing TVL indicates real user activity and institutional confidence in the ecosystem.

How does TownSquare's 95% LTV compare to other lending protocols?

TownSquare offers loan-to-value ratios up to 95% for stablecoin loans, significantly above the industry standard of 70–80%. This higher efficiency appeals to capital-constrained users but carries higher liquidation risk, which is why it's targeting institutional partners with stable collateral.

What is ZenO and how does it collect AI training data?

ZenO is a physical AI data network where users contribute real-world egocentric human motion data via smartphone IMU sensors or robot teleoperation to train robotics models. The platform converts smartphone motion data into 3D trajectories that robots can learn from, addressing a genuine bottleneck in embodied AI training datasets.

Is OpenGPU Network's 70% cost savings claim verified?

OpenGPU Network claims 70% savings versus traditional cloud GPU providers, but this lacks third-party validation. The project is verifiable on-chain with 260+ active GPU providers and 46M+ transactions, though independent cost benchmarking would strengthen the claim.

Why are most of these projects pre-token?

Seven of eight early-stage projects discussed have not launched tokens yet, suggesting they are prioritizing product-market fit and traction before tokenomics. The two live tokens ($NULLA and $SUBY) both trade near or below their detection prices, indicating early token performance has not yet validated underlying fundamentals.
