Happy 2025 NATIXIANs! We conclude 2024 with this last progress update of the year to summarize our progress throughout December. We promised to close the year on a high note and had another massive release, another token burn, partnerships, and campaigns.

We want to wish all of you a happy new year. Let’s dive into our last progress update of 2024.

Unpacking the Numbers

Right before closing the year, we crossed the 200K Drive& app users mark, now having over 207K, making us one of the fastest-growing DePINs of the year. We’ve also now covered over 119M km of road and made over 614M detections.

Next year will no doubt be a record-breaking year as we expect to grow exponentially.

2024 Recap

We conclude a very successful 2024 in all aspects. We created a thread to summarize all of our progress throughout this year and wanted to highlight how much our community managed to achieve.

We’ve had over 164K new users this year, as the community covered 30x the amount of road that was mapped last year, and detected over 10x the amount from 2023. We achieved so much and are sure to achieve even more next year!

Coverage Map

December signaled the release of the NATIX Network Coverage Map. This interactive map showcases all the roads mapped and detections made by drivers using the Drive& app.

The NATIX Coverage Map is an interactive world map that displays:

• Roads mapped: The roads traveled by our network contributors.
• Detections made: Daily data captured by Drive& app users, from traffic infrastructure to traffic participants. 
• Network stats: Including registered drivers, KMs mapped, map data detected, and countries covered.
• Tokens burned: Indicates the exact amount of $NATIX tokens burned.

In case you missed this feature, you can follow the link to get familiar with the NATIX Coverage Map.

Third Token Burn

In December, we issued a third token burn for November, and it was massive. We’ve burned another 36M tokens, and that was more than the two previous months’ burn combined! With that, we’ve now reached a total of 77.8M tokens taken out of circulation.

The burns will continue, and each is proving to surpass the previous ones. Follow the link to read about the $NATIX token burn updates and check the proof.

New Use Case: Scenario Generation

In case you missed it, we went deep into explaining how NATIX, with data collected from Tesla vehicles equipped with the VX360, aims to disrupt the autonomous vehicle industry. Scenario generation is a crucial process in the testing, verification, and validation of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving systems (ADS).

The importance of 360° real camera footage makes VX360 a revolutionary device for scenario generation. The data collected can be used in two different ways: It can either be used to train GenAI models to produce better synthetic-based scenario generation, or scenario generation can occur automatically from the footage collected, segmented into distinct scenarios using advanced AI tools, and eliminate most of the manual effort.

Partnerships

Concentrated Liquidity Campaign

This month we’ve partnered with HawkFi and Orca to make earning rewards with your liquidity smoother and more rewarding than ever before. By participating in this campaign, you can earn both $NATIX and $ORCA rewards for providing liquidity via HawkFi’s automated platform. With a combined reward pool of 24,000,000 $NATIX and 500 $ORCA, there’s never been a better time to dive into concentrated liquidity pools.

Silencio

We’ve partnered with Silencio this month to list the VX360 device on their app. This gives us a boost for exposure as Silencio is one of the leading projects in the peaq ecosystem. We’re united together on pushing DePIN to the next level and can’t be happier to have them on board.

Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley

This unique partnership with Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley, the largest official Tesla club globally, with over 2M followers, allows us to reach a broader audience of Tesla drivers, as we’re aligned together on putting Tesla vehicles at the forefront of innovation, for a better future for mapping and autonomous driving.

What’s Next?

We’re kicking off a new year with great ambitions, plans, releases, partnerships, and rewards. If you thought we’d grow in 2024, wait until you see what we have in store this 2025. We have some exciting news coming up in Q1 that will continue to position NATIX as one of the top pioneers of DePIN in the world.

ZKsync Ignite Season 1

Season 1 runs from January 6th to March 31st and distributes up to 100M ZK tokens to DeFi users who provide liquidity for blue chip tokens and stables across DEXs, lending, and perpetuals. Think DeFi Summer. Find a pool, deposit liquidity, earn $ZK rewards, and claim them. No points, no quests, no gimmicks, just OG DeFi.

There are currently 15 participating protocols, though applications are accepted by the DeFi Steering Committee on a rolling basis.

• DEXs: iZUMi Finance, Koi Finance, Maverick, PancakeSwap, Syncswap, Uniswap, WOOFi, zkSwap Finance

• Perpetuals: Holdstation, RFX, Vest Exchange

• Lending: Aave, Reactor Fusion, Venus Protocol, Zerolend

Every 2 weeks, a new batch of ZK token allocations will be set aside and streamed to DeFi users. This iterative design allows the Ignite program to react to changes in supply and demand, and incentivize new pools and assets.

Fuel Station

DeFi users know how painful it is to manage positions across several DeFi protocols. That’s why we built the Fuel Station to refuel your DeFi strategies by bridging, depositing, managing, and claiming all in one place.

The Fuel Station is designed to be simple and intuitive for the average Defi user.

Bridge: Earn ZK tokens when you bridge to ZKsync Era with Jumper Exchange. Users with funds on ZKsync Lite can bridge for an added yield boost using LayerSwap. In addition, Jumper Exchange will host a raffle every two weeks. DeFi users are eligible based on (1) the amount they’ve bridged into Era and deposited into eligible DeFi protocols and (2) for how long. At the end of two weeks, 5 addresses will be selected at random to split the pot. The raffle pot will increase proportional to the amount of liquidity bridge during each period.

Search: Search through all incentivized pools and filter by tokens, protocols, APYs, and actions.

One-click deposits: Deposit into DEXs and lending markets with a single click. Enso and Kyber take care of swaps and balancing for you. (This feature is coming soon).

Gasless transactions: Gas for claim transactions are sponsored with ZyFi.

Claim: ZK token rewards can be claimed weekly, powered by Merkle.

We recently published our points program article, detailing the assets that qualify for earning points in the S airdrop.

At the top of the list are scUSD and scETH by Rings, with boosted multipliers of 6x and 4x, respectively. You’ll earn more points by holding and using these assets in participating apps.

Why did we boost these assets for the first season of our points program? Rings plays a key role in driving a steady flow of liquidity to apps on Sonic, strengthening its DeFi ecosystem. This helps Sonic become a premier DeFi hub where users can maximize their capital efficiency.

What is Rings?

Rings is a yield-bearing stablecoin protocol, built on Veda BoringVaults and draws inspiration from Blast’s native yield concept and Solidly’s ve(3,3) model.

Let’s break down each of these terms before diving in further.

• Veda BoringVaults
  These automated vaults, operated by Veda, optimize yield for deployed assets by farming yield across DeFi protocols on Ethereum. The vaults automate farming strategies and rebalance assets, enhancing capital efficiency.
• Native Yield
  Native yield enables bridged assets to earn yield on their original chain. Typically, when bridging ETH from Ethereum to another chain, the ETH is locked in a contract, earning nothing. With native yield, that ETH is instead deployed on apps to generate yield while the equivalent ETH is still minted for you on the destination chain.
• Solidly’s ve(3,3) Model
  The ve(3,3) model by Solidly combines token locking for governance (ve) with game theory incentives (3,3) to reward long-term commitment and cooperative behavior. Users lock tokens to gain voting power and direct rewards to liquidity pools, aligning incentives for ecosystem growth and stability.

Rings revolves around three key assets on Sonic: scUSD/scETH, stkscUSD/stkscETH, and veNFTs, each serving a distinct purpose in the ecosystem. Now that you’re more familiar with the core concepts behind Rings, let’s explore each of these assets.

scUSD and scETH

At the core of Rings are scUSD and scETH, tokens on the Sonic network that users can mint fee-free by depositing stablecoins or ETH-based tokens on Ethereum or Sonic. For example, depositing USDC mints scUSD, while depositing WETH mints scETH.

When you mint these tokens, your deposited collateral is sent to Veda-operated vaults on Ethereum. These vaults automatically farm yield through blue-chip protocols like Aave, allowing your original assets to earn yield while unlocking the utility of scUSD or scETH on Sonic.

This is the “native yield” aspect of Rings. However, it’s important to emphasize that this yield is not directly distributed to holders of scUSD or scETH. Instead, it’s distributed as liquidity to apps on Sonic. This mechanism is outlined in the veNFT section below.

stkscUSD and stkscETH

Once you’ve minted scUSD or scETH, you can stake them through Rings on Sonic to receive staked scUSD (stkscUSD) or staked scETH (stkscETH).

This process deposits your scUSD/scETH into Veda-operated vaults on Sonic, where they generate yield through protocols within the Sonic ecosystem. Unlike the yield generated by the collateral on Ethereum, this yield is paid directly to you.

veNFT

To get a veNFT, you have to lock your stkscUSD or stkscETH; the more tokens you lock and the longer the lock duration, the greater your voting power.

What's the utility of veNFTs? The yield generated by the collateral on Ethereum is used to mint scUSD, which is bridged to Sonic and sent to the “gauge contract”. veNFT holders play a critical role here — they vote on how this scUSD is distributed across different DeFi apps on Sonic, essentially choosing what apps receive an infusion of liquidity.

Since veNFT holders have this gauge voting power, apps on Sonic can offer them vote incentives (also called bribes) to incentivize them to vote for their app. This creates a competitive market where apps compete for liquidity, giving veNFT holders an income stream. This mechanism is the “ve(3,3)” aspect of Rings.

However, by locking your stkscUSD or stkscETH to get a veNFT, you forfeit the staking rewards from your staked scUSD or scETH. As a user, you must decide which is more valuable: the bribes offered by apps for your votes or the yield earned from simply staking.

Earn Points With Rings Assets

As outlined in our points article, by simply holding Rings assets in your Web3 wallet, you’ll be earning passive points for the S airdrop.

However, to make the most of your capital, you can deploy it as liquidity to participating apps on Sonic to earn additional activity points. Most apps on Sonic have opportunities to deploy your scUSD, scETH, stkscUSD, or stkscETH, such as DEXs or lending protocols.

A complete list of participating apps will be available on the airdrop dashboard at launch. In the meantime, you can start exploring the diverse range of apps on Sonic by following our Sonic Ecosystem account on X. Please note that the account offers no financial advice or endorsements. Use apps at your own risk.
