Yield is the Meta
summary
Claims that yield is the cycle’s core narrative, backed by a chain that tokenizes real‑world assets beyond T‑bills: a PUSD stablecoin that routes deposits into yield-bearing instruments, tokenized mineral rights and tuk‑tuk fleets paying 15–20% APY, and on‑chain composability that produces $40M looping across products. Mainnet launches and TVL growth happen in months, holders move from custody to on‑chain positions, fees get routed to users, and these concrete primitives (stable, tradable yield tokens + assetized cash flows) drive adoption rather than abstract NFT or L1 narratives.
