Rank Platform: The Trustless Hedge-Fund Layer Turning Real Yield Into Dividends

Published

on

In a sector where “yield” too often means inflationary token rewards or opaque fund structures, a new model is emerging that puts provable performance first. Rank is positioning itself as a “hedge-fund layer” for crypto: a permissionless marketplace where human quants and AI agents deploy autonomous smart-contract vaults, compete on an on-chain leaderboard, and earn performance fees only when investors profit. The project argues it can deliver sustainable yield while eliminating the middlemen, opacity, and custody risk that plague both DeFi and traditional funds. 

How? All due to the seven-year-old execution engine that routes orders across major exchanges super fast, a no-code builder, an API for advanced agents, and a fixed-supply $RAN token that pays 50% of all platform revenue back to holders. TVL is already close to $946K with $5M+ overall volume moving on-chain ahead of the Token Generation Event. The launch will take place on Red Kite, Kommunitas, and Poolz, followed by a listing on MEXC.The team’s stated goal is simple: let performance, not marketing, decide where global capital flows.

DeFi’s Yield Illusion – and Rank’s Cure

Inflationary token emissions and circular liquidity loops still prop up most headline APY in DeFi, a model that collapses once subsidies dry up. Rank’s founders are traders with more than 70 years of combined desk experience; they were frustrated watching capital chase those unsustainable payouts. 

 

Their counter-proposal is radical transparency: every trade, fee, Sharpe ratio, and draw-down is published on-chain, and capital flows automatically to the best risk-adjusted performers. The platform drives the point home with the promise of “Real Trading, Real Yield”, accessible to anyone with a browser wallet. 

Under the Hood: How the Platform Works

Rank’s architecture starts with its smart-contract vaults, or “Strats.” Each Strat is an independent contract that locks investor deposits and embeds the strategy’s trading rules, risk limits, and fee schedule. This guarantees that the trader who built it can open and close positions but can never withdraw the underlying capital, keeping custody entirely on-chain.

When a Strat sends an order, it passes through an execution engine refined over seven years that now routes across leading CEX in roughly ~4 ms – a latency window critical for high-frequency and arbitrage tactics, with every fill immediately written to the blockchain so anyone can audit slippage and pricing after the fact.

Performance is ranked in real time on a public leaderboard that organises Strats by net PnL, Sharpe ratio, maximum draw-down, and an internal risk score; once a vault closes, its full track record is frozen immutably, so reputation rests on facts, not marketing claims.

All of this is wrapped in an interface that lets non-coders drag and drop indicators while giving quants direct API access for custom or AI-driven agents, effectively delivering custody, execution, and reporting at hedge-fund quality without the cost or legal baggage of a traditional fund structure.

Inside $RAN’s Community-First Economics

The $RAN token is a fixed-supply BEP-20 asset capped at 1 billion units with no mint function. Seventy-five percent of supply is reserved for presales, ecosystem rewards, and liquidity incentives, while team and investors share the remaining 25% under six-month cliffs and long linear vesting schedules.

Revenue share. Exactly 50% of all platform fees, such as deployment, entry, 20% of trader performance fees, and CEX rebates, flow back to holders in USDT every epoch.

Utility. Staking boosts dividend share, unlocks premium analytics, and grants governance rights over fee tiers and new features.

Alignment. Because dividends scale with actual trading volume, token value is tied directly to real PnL, not dilution or emissions.

Who Wins, and How

Traders launch strategies globally without forming a fund, hiring dev-ops, or courting LPs; performance fees settle automatically in USDT. Investors access audited, risk-scored strategies while keeping custody via vault tokens, eliminating the rug-pull vectors detailed in academic studies of DeFi exploits. AI builders deploy autonomous agents that earn fees natively, leveraging Rank’s Agent Layer API and real-time data streams. By design, the marketplace is meritocratic: the better a Strat performs on a risk-adjusted basis, the more capital it naturally attracts.

TVL and Partnerships

Despite being in beta, Rank already shows around $1M in TVL on BNB Chain, according to DeFiLlama. Over 20 verified traders are forward-testing strategies, and the white paper cites $5M+ AUM migrating on-chain.

Strategic partnerships with Mode Network, Chirper AI, and Unfungible broaden liquidity and data sources, while listing agreements are in place with CEX heavyweight MEXC. Crucially, Rank is incubated by Seedify, a top-tier Web3 incubating platform.

Date with the Markets

The Token Generation Event will take place on 24 June 2025 10 AM UTC via three launchpads: Red Kite, Kommunitas, and Poolz, with an immediate MEXC at $0.002 per token and PancakeSwap listing – just $2.2 million FDV at launch. Twenty-five percent of presale tokens unlock on day one; the rest vest over six months, offering liquidity without inviting a fast dump. Post-TGE milestones include:

Public launch of the strategy marketplace with initial battle-tested Strats.

Expansion of the agent layer to support external AI models and paid data feeds.

DAO governance rollout allowing token holders to vote on fee tiers, new exchange integrations, and treasury spend.

As the roadmap unravels and trading volume grows, every dollar of additional fees will be split evenly between operations and token-holder dividends, creating a flywheel where higher TVL leads to higher USDT streams, which in turn increases demand for $RAN.

A Meritocracy for Global Capital

Rank’s pitch is refreshingly simple in a sector obsessed with complexity: let transparent performance, enforced by code, replace trust in the middlemen. The goal is to fuse hedge-fund-grade execution with DeFi composability and a dividend-paying token. This way, Rank could redraw the map of how capital finds talent – from a closed world of Cayman vehicles and 2 & 20 fees to a borderless, click-to-allocate marketplace.

For investors starved of genuine yield, quants eager to scale, and AI teams looking for a revenue-sharing playground, Rank offers a single on-chain answer: plug in, prove it, and get paid.

Nostalgic Comeback Classic ICQ RockPaperScissors Game Reborn as NinjaRPS for Modern Mobile Players

Published

on

Retro messaging game reimagined with fast-paced ninja action, now available on iOS and Android

https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe8nf4QS74bAFzdiHDebOOTXEqvI1EO15SDyU98F5Q9REPNd874WkIKS8CSnsFfUVlIzUw3CZSV_7KLPoOK3UdarFVbvBhrppp4gmsXbH0WkD4X3ZjkukIONpr0YfTT6EUfBG94?key=5Ti9BTdjuXWyZwsRTbIefQ

Israel, 24th Jun 2025,  Long before emojis ruled conversations and mobile games flooded the app stores, there was ICQ, the chat app that quietly introduced one of the internet’s earliest multiplayer games: Rock-Paper-Scissors. Now, that simple but addictive mini-game is back, reimagined for a new generation as NinjaRPS, a sleek, action-packed remake for mobile, designed to hit right in the nostalgia.

Launched by NexEra Labs, NinjaRPS is now available on Google Play and the App Store, blending the familiar strategy of Rock-Paper-Scissors with the thrill of ninja duels, stylized animations, and retro-inspired visuals.

“We wanted to bring back something that felt personal, something people used to play between chats, just for fun,” said the developer. “NinjaRPS is our tribute to those early internet days, but with a new layer of energy and style.”

From Chatroom Classic to Combat Arena

NinjaRPS takes the core mechanics of the original ICQ game and wraps them in a fast-paced ninja theme. Players face off in animated duels where each move, Rock, Paper, or Scissors, triggers a ninja attack, block, or dodge. The game is easy to learn, hard to master, and endlessly replayable.

The game’s retro pixel art and fast-loading design are nods to the lightweight charm of the original ICQ era. At the same time, new features like avatar selection, local play, and unlockable content offer depth for today’s mobile gamers.

NinjaRPS is free to play, with optional in-app features for customization.

It’s a perfect pick-up-and-play game for casual moments, competitive challenges, or simply reliving a bit of digital history this time, with a ninja twist.

“Some games didn’t need a storyline, they just worked,” the developer added. “We brought that feeling back, but gave it flair.”
