Bridging, liquidity incentives, and strategic integrations across chains like Unichain, Ethereum, and Base are rapidly accelerating DeFi adoption, Bitcoin utility, and stablecoin growth, signaling a new wave of interconnected onchain expansion.

Onchain ecosystems are evolving fast, with new protocols across Base, Arbitrum, Solana, and Ethereum pushing the boundaries of gaming, DeFi, messaging, and token launches—all powered by player economies, composability, and DAO-aligned incentives.

This week’s Dune Digest highlights a breakout moment for Web3 infrastructure: Kaia’s parabolic user growth, Ondo’s dominance in tokenized securities, surging stablecoin velocity on Polygon, peaq’s machine economy momentum, and Ostium’s DeFi push into real-world asset perpetuals — all signaling a rapid convergence of traditional finance, real-world utility, and blockchain scalability.
