Life is not easy, and hodlers are crying. With the current market sentiment being tepid, it may be a good time to shift focus to new projects. Odaily Planet Daily has compiled a list of projects worth paying attention to recently, categorized into two main groups: DeFi and projects with recent funding announcements.

Friendly reminder: Participating in new projects involves certain risks. It is recommended to exercise risk management and due diligence. It is not advisable to invest a large amount of funds in the initial stages.

DeFi Category

1. Stout

Project Overview:

Stout is the native lending protocol on Sonic, with a current Total Value Locked (TVL) of $4 million. It is currently possible to borrow the protocol's stablecoin, DUSX, by providing wS, stS, wETH, veSTTX. The protocol consists of four tokens:

· STTX: Provides support for the protocol, equivalent to Stout's base token, with a token deflation and burn mechanism. Long-term holding is not recommended, and the best approach is to lock it as veSTTX;

· DUSX: Over-collateralized stablecoin, can be exchanged 1:1 with USDC through the protocol's PSM;

· veSTTX: Governance token and collateral asset, providing a 98% loan-to-value (LTV) ratio;

· stDUSX: Staking token, earning 75% of the protocol's revenue, with a staking APY of 24.47%.

When engaging in lending projects, it is important to pay attention to the project's liquidation threshold. On Stout, each collateral type has a different maximum ratio. Its liquidation mechanism involves when a Collateral Debt Position (CDP) reaches a collateral type's liquidation threshold, the user still repays the debt in exchange for some collateral.

Reasons to Watch: Part of Sonic ecosystem's DeFi protocol; high loan-to-value (LTV) ratio; stDUSX staking APY of 24.47%.
