 is a viral meme illustration by artist Phillip Banks, depicting a laid-back dog in casual clothes whose easygoing attitude took social media by storm before a crypto project used the meme to launch Just a Chill Guy as a Solana-based token.

What Does Just a Chill Guy Aim to Achieve?

The CHILLGUY meme coin aims to spread a "Why worry?" philosophy into cryptocurrency markets by embracing the laid-back, stress-free attitude that made the original meme go viral. The project transforms this easygoing vibe into a community-driven token, where being low-key isn't just a catchphrase — it's a shared mindset among holders.

The CHILLGUY community brings this philosophy to life by sharing endless variations of the CHILLGUY meme across social platforms. Through market swings and viral trends, CHILLGUY keeps his iconic pose: hands in pockets, subtle smirk, perpetually relaxed.

Just a Chill Guy (CHILLGUY) operates as a Solana Program Library (SPL) token on the 

 blockchain, leveraging the network's ultrafast speeds and low costs to ensure smooth trading. The token was created using Pump.fun, a specialized platform that lets users launch Solana-based tokens without any fees, removing traditional barriers to token creation.

CHILLGUY is a community takeover (CTO), meaning it's completely owned and directed by its token holders with no central team in control. This decentralized structure ensures the project stays true to its community-driven nature, its holders collectively guiding its future while embodying the laid-back spirit of the original meme.

The CHILLGUY token launched with a maximum supply of 1 billion tokens, of which 999,965,435 are currently in circulation. This near-complete distribution of tokens to the market supports active trading and community participation.

What makes CHILLGUY's tokenomics particularly notable is its widespread distribution across more than 142,000 unique holders (as of Nov 27, 2024), achieved in just 12 days. This rapid expansion of its holder base demonstrates strong community adoption and aligns with the project's decentralized, community-driven principles.

CHILLGUY has exploded across social media, especially on TikTok, where the meme has amassed hundreds of millions of views. Its laid-back character resonates with users worldwide, inspiring countless creative adaptations.

Major brands worldwide have embraced CHILLGUY in their marketing campaigns. From Sprite Europe to NFL on CBS, the character has resonated across mainstream media, even catching the attention of global figures like El Salvador's president Nayib Bukele.

Just a Chill Guy (CHILLGUY): Embracing the Art of Nonchalance

Zircuit (ZRC) combines optimistic and ZK rollups with AI-driven security, offering fast, low-cost Ethereum Layer 2 solutions. 

 network has flourished, mainly due to the ongoing network congestion, high fees and poor scalability of the latter. Many of these platforms use rollup technology, whereby batches of multiple transactions processed off-chain are bundled together and posted in bulk to the underlying Layer 1. Ethereum-linked rollups mainly come in two varieties 

 (ZK). While optimistic rollups boast lower computational overhead, the ZK variety of these networks features a higher degree of security.

Zircuit (ZRC) is a Layer 2 chain that adopts a hybrid approach, combining the elements of optimistic and 

. This lets the platform offer the performance benefits of optimistic technology along with the security of ZK validity proofs. To further enhance overall security, Zircuit uses a unique 

 (AI)–driven system of monitoring for malicious transactions.

 (ZRC) is a hybrid Layer 2 blockchain that combines the features of optimistic and ZK rollups, and uses AI-driven monitoring for potentially harmful transactions. 

 rollup development technology, a popular framework for building optimistic rollup networks. Additionally, it uses zero-knowledge proofs, which lets the platform offer the best of both worlds 

 the performance benefits of optimistic rollups and the security of ZK technology. Zircuit is 

The Zircuit project takes security very seriously, and has introduced a unique system of AI-based protection against malicious transactions at the sequencer node level. The use of ZK proofs and an AI-based protection system make Zircuit one of the most secure platforms in the competitive world of Ethereum Layer 2 chains.

Along with its excellent security benefits, Zircuit also boasts low costs, fast transactions, excellent scalability and 2-second block production intervals. All these features make it an ideal environment for 

 (DApps) in various niches, particularly 

 (DeFi). In fact, the leading protocols within the Zircuit ecosystem are all dedicated to the finance niche, with Zircuit Staking being the largest application by TVL.

With its heavy focus on DeFi, Zircuit aims to become a leading liquidity hub for various token types within the sector, including 

. These assets can be staked through the Zircuit staking program — supported by the platform's Liquidity Hub — to earn staking APRs, airdrop rewards and points based on the Zircuit Point program (covered further in our article).

The platform also operates a secure native bridging solution, 

, to help users transfer assets between its Layer 2 network and Ethereum Layer 1.

The company behind the project, Zircuit Ltd., was founded in 2021 in Canada by Dr. Martin Derka, Jan Gorzny and Angel Xu. Zircuit's testnet was launched in November 2023, but made headlines in April 2024 when the project reported that its 

 (TVL) had soared past $2 billion. While testnet TVLs are more a gauge of future potential for a blockchain than an indicator of its existing worth, the news attracted the attention of industry observers toward the platform. Following its highly publicized testnet success, Zircuit launched the first phase of its mainnet in August 2024. This was followed by the launch of the platform's native token, ZRC, in November 2024.

As a typical rollup, Zircuit uses an off-chain sequencer node to batch and organize Layer 2 transactions for subsequent posting to the underlying Ethereum Layer 1. The batches have ZK validity proofs attached to them to signal to Layer 1 validators that they’re free from fraudulent transactions. Zircuit's architecture also includes prover nodes, whose job is to produce these validity proofs.

However, unlike other rollups using ZK proofs (also known as validity proofs), Zircuit doesn't generate validity proofs for every block of transactions. Instead, some blocks have pre-generated template proofs, while others go through the process of having a dedicated validity proof created for them. After a few blocks featuring validity proofs, there are several more that utilize template proofs. The image below illustrates this approach.

The key reason Zircuit has adopted this form of proof design is that the process of generating ZK proofs is computationally intensive. By using template proofs for some of the blocks in a sequence, Zircuit can reduce the overall computational overhead. However, the project’s team has stated that the template proof model is temporary, and will be phased out in the future. At that stage, the platform will move to generating ZK proofs for each block.

Zircuit features a highly modular design whereby provers — responsible for generating validity proofs on the platform — can easily be plugged into or removed from the network. This modular approach is distinct from the standard ZK rollup design, in which provers are more tightly and less flexibly integrated into the overall architecture.

As noted earlier, Zircuit uses a dedicated sequencer to organize and batch transactions into blocks. The platform also applies AI-driven monitoring at the sequencer level (the Sequencer Level Security, or SLS) to spot and exclude fraudulent transactions before they’re finalized on Layer 2.

When transactions are first posted to Zircuit, they enter the 

 — a temporary area from which the sequencer picks and organizes individual transactions into blocks. The mempool is being monitored at all times, using AI algorithms to identify suspicious transactions. If a transaction in the mempool raises a flag, it's quarantined and assessed for validity before the sequencer can include it in a block. The image below shows how this process works.

One of the distinct features of Zircuit is its hybrid architecture, which combines the properties of optimistic and ZK rollups. At the base level, Zircuit is built using Optimism's Bedrock development framework, a technology popular for optimistic rollup networks. However, the use of ZK proofs — or, to be more precise, a combination of validity proofs and template proofs — ensures that Zircuit enjoys a security level that standard optimistic rollups normally can't match.

The use of AI-based SLS provides robust security to Zircuit, complementing the already highly secure ZK proof system. Very few Layer 2 networks in the industry currently feature anything similar, making the platform a true pioneer of AI use for sequencer-level operations.

Like any rollup based on Optimism Bedrock, Zircuit enjoys EVM compatibility. This allows for smooth interoperability with the underlying Ethereum Layer 1. EVM compatibility also makes it easy for developers familiar with Ethereum’s environment to develop Zircuit-based DApps, or to port existing Ethereum applications to the platform. Developers can take advantage of technologies commonly used for Ethereum (e.g., the Solidity programming language and the Hardhat development framework) to build Zircuit applications and smart contracts.

Zircuit Bridge is a native bridging solution designed to easily transfer tokens between Ethereum and Zircuit. It boasts high security, low transaction fees and fast transfers, and allows users to move a variety of cryptocurrencies between Ethereum and Zircuit, including ETH, 

) and LRTs like Super Symbiotic LRT (weETHs). As of late November 2024, the total number of cryptos supported by the bridge is close to 30.

Zircuit has launched a reward program called Zircuit Points. Users can earn these Points by staking supported assets, and by participating in the Build to Earn initiative (more on this below). Accumulated points will be converted to ZRC tokens in the future. Points also create the opportunity to qualify for token airdrops.

The primary way for most users to earn Zircuit points is via 

. The Zircuit Staking program lets you stake LSTs, LRTs, popular stablecoins, some wrapped tokens and Ether (ETH) to earn points. Using LSTs and LRTs, you can earn yields (along with native Zircuit staking APRs and Points) from the respective staking and restaking platforms that issue these assets.

Zircuit Points earned via staking have different multipliers, depending upon the asset. For example, Ether has a multiplier of 0.5, while LSTs, LRTs and stablecoins have a multiplier of 1. Multipliers for different LST and LRT assets may be subject to change in the future.

Build to Earn is another way to qualify for Zircuit Points. The program allows developers to contribute to the Zircuit ecosystem and earn Points in a number of ways, including:

Launched in November 2024, ZRC is the platform's native cryptocurrency. It's an 

 asset deployed on both Zircuit and Ethereum Layer 1. ZRC is mainly used for reward distributions, and participation in token airdrops for ecosystem DApps. Currently, transaction fees on the network are paid in Ether. It's possible that, in the future, ZRC might be used for some transaction fee payments.

ZRC is also used for rewards under the Gas Rebate program. As users conduct transactions on the platform, they 

. Zircuit’s Gas Rebate program provides rebates to offset some of the incurred fees. The amount of ZRC earned as a rebate is proportional to the amount spent on gas in ETH; the project's documentation states that for each ETH spent on gas, the user earns 125% in ZRC. All kinds of gas fee payments qualify for the rebate, including ordinary asset transfers and transactions involving interaction with Zircuit DApps.

ZRC is a supply-capped token, with a maximum and total supply of 10 billion. The token's supply allocation shares are as follows:

The ZRC token is available on Bybit's Spot market as a swap pair with USDT (

 to grab a share of the 5 million ZRC prize pool. New users who sign up for a Bybit account and complete identity verification can earn ZRC rewards by accumulating a deposit volume of at least 2,000 ZRC, or by depositing 100 USDT and trading 100 USDT worth of ZRC via their first trade with Bybit. 

Meanwhile, existing users can qualify for ZRC rewards by trading at least 500 USDT worth of ZRC on the Bybit Spot market, with the possibility of earning up to 10,000 ZRC based on trading volume. The 

 event will run through Dec 10, 2024, 8:59AM UTC.

Zircuit is among the pioneering Layer 2 platforms to adopt a hybrid design for a rollup network. Thanks to the platform's architecture, users can take advantage of low transaction costs, fast transfers and great scalability while enjoying the benefits of high security delivered by ZK proofs and AI-driven mempool monitoring. AI-based monitoring for fraudulent transactions is a particularly notable feature of the platform and is undoubtedly among the most advanced technologies employed in the blockchain industry.

User security combined with faster and cheaper transactions for the Ethereum network — all in one package — is now feasible, thanks to Zircuit's innovative technology and unique approach!

Bybit Celebrates 6th Anniversary with $1.2M Prize Pool and bbSOL Supercharging Campaign

Our weekly crypto derivatives analytics report delves into macro events, the current state of crypto and trading signals from spot trading volume, and futures, options and perpetual contracts.

ETH has outperformed, bolstered by SEC Chair Gary Gensler's announcement of his Jan 20, 2025 departure, and suggested by growing open interest in ETH perpetual. This positive momentum extends to several large-cap altcoins previously scrutinized by the SEC, as indicated by bullish funding rates for long positions.

Please check out the report’s highlights.

ETH Open Interest Grows While BTC’s Declines

ETH is outperforming BTC following the announcement of SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s departure, as evidenced in perpetual swap markets. BTC open interest has decreased from last week's highs, while ETH contracts have increased. Additionally, ETH trade volumes constitute a larger share of daily trading as compared to much of the past six months, despite an overall dip in trade volumes this week. The gradual decline in BTC open interest, without a surge in trading activity, indicates a strategic repositioning, rather than a wave of liquidations.

BTC Option Curve Inversion Deepens as Price Retreats

The pullback in the spot BTC price from the $100K target has led to a flat ATM volatility term structure, with short-tenor options dropping below 60%. 

This trend continues the correlation between term structure inversion and BTC spot price returns observed since the U.S. election on November 5, 2024

. The decline in front-end volatility aligns with lower realized volatility levels. While demand for short-tenor options has moderated, there hasn't been a notable change in open interest for calls or puts. Instead, their growth has stalled at the week's start.

Sentiment in ETH options markets seems moderately more bullish than in BTC's during the recent decline in momentum from the post-election rally. Call options lead in both trading volumes and open interest.

 protocolthat allows mobile users worldwide to make simple financial transactions with cryptocurrency. 

The platform has its own blockchain that features one native token and three 

 (cUSD, cEUR and cREAL). Celo has also partnered with the two most prominent stablecoin projects, 

, to integrate the native versions of each stablecoin into its blockchain, expanding its reach to the broader crypto market.

Celo was created in 2017 by GoDaddy executives Rene Reinsberg and Marek Olszewski and 

. The company immediately attracted major investors, raising $46.5 million between 2018 and 2020 through the sale of CELO tokens. Capital firms like Social Capital, Andreessen Horowitz and General Catalyst were among the principal investors. The Celo blockchain then launched on Earth Day 2020 as the first carbon-negative 

As the platform grew, its founders were able to build the infrastructure necessary to meet their objectives. Now, Celo provides global payment infrastructure that crypto users can easily access from mobile devices via stablecoin provision and credit solutions. The company’s blockchain can also host 

 (DApps), making the platform a potential hub for web3 activity. 

, facilitate the creation of DeFi DApps. Additionally, its 

 enables developers to build NFT projects on Celo. 

While Celo’s general notion of blockchains and decentralization parallels similar crypto services, its focus on mobile access sets it apart. The Celo blockchain has been designed to unite all the mobile phones in the world within a single decentralized framework. 

Celo is built with a full-stack approach that comprises three interacting stacks: the PoS blockchain itself, Celo core smart contracts and the DApps running above the protocol. Its blockchain uses a Byzantine fault tolerance 

 to allow the system to govern itself. Its 

, which are managed by decentralized governance, are EVM-compatible and upgradeable. 

Celo has become a “green” blockchain by automatically offsetting its carbon footprint since its first block, sending CELO daily to an on-chain 

 that provides the basis for the system’s governance and general organization. Holding this token is what allows users to participate in governance decisions and earn rewards. The organization also holds these tokens alongside other crypto assets as a part of the blockchain’s reserves.

Celo facilitates mobile transactions through the use of its platform-native stablecoins (cUSD, cEUR and cREAL). These stablecoins are pegged to various fiat currencies through an algorithmic reserve that features a smart contract–based stability mechanism called 

crypto assets such BTC, ETH and USDT in the Celo Reserve

. These algorithmic stablecoins can be used for any transaction in the centralized finance (CeFi) and DeFi apps in the Celo ecosystem using a mobile number, and can also be used to pay for 

Celo is extremely popular with users because it has a wide variety of uses. The mobile-first approach makes the blockchain an excellent choice for conducting instant international transactions. Generous rewards, meanwhile, have attracted many users to the idea of holding Celo stablecoins. Pledging CELO coins can net investors a passive income, and the platform’s decentralized nature makes it a great choice for anyone committed to the future of DeFi.

While Celo crypto was already an attractive investment in the years immediately after its founding, it has become even more popular since its hard fork in 2021. This major change to the protocol, called the 

, gave Celo EVM compatibility, facilitating interoperability with the 

 (NEAR) blockchains. By further integrating itself within the larger crypto ecosystem, the Celo blockchain has become an easier place for mobile users to trade.

Curious about Celo’s unique selling point as compared to other blockchains? While Celo still lacks the name recognition and widespread popularity of several other platforms, its speed, low transaction fees and mobile focus could see it grow exponentially in the years ahead.

Ultimately, as a crypto investor you’ll have to determine how the Celo blockchain stacks up against its competitors before deciding where to place your digital holdings. If low fees and higher speed are important to you, then Celo could be a better option. In the following section, we’ll pit Celo against popular Layer 1 blockchains Ethereum and NEAR.

Celo and Ethereum are both blockchains built to further DeFi’s proliferation. However, they are vastly different entities. Ethereum, for now, remains by far the more popular platform, rivaling Bitcoin’s mainstream recognition. Celo, while still not as popular, could someday match Ethereum’s fame by focusing on its niche, the mobile market. Unlike Ethereum, Celo’s primary purpose is to serve mobile phone users.

There are several ways in which Celo has intentionally deviated from Ethereum’s model as its founders seek to set a separate course. For one thing, users can pay Celo’s transaction fees in crypto assets besides CELO coins, the blockchain’s native token. This grants users greater flexibility in managing their digital holdings. Ethereum, on the other hand, requires users to pay fees in the platform’s native token, Ether.

Thanks to the unique structures within the Celo blockchain, blocks can be built in just five seconds. Ethereum, meanwhile, requires over 12 seconds to build a block. These considerable benefits could see Celo gain in popularity at Ethereum's expense.

As protocols launched around the same time and for similar purposes, Celo and NEAR make for an instructive comparison. NEAR remains the more popular blockchain, thanks largely to its larger range of potential uses. The 

 protocol can support independent wallets and other forms of self-custody, making it an attractive choice for crypto investors tied strictly to the notion of decentralized finance. Celo, meanwhile, relies to a greater extent on outside entities like official wallets and crypto exchanges.

The Celo blockchain outperforms NEAR in terms of cost and transaction speed. Completing a transaction on NEAR can take up to 60 times longer than it would on Celo, and confirming those transactions is more expensive. Once again, Celo’s speed and affordability may help it to become a central player in the world of mobile crypto transactions.

The CELO coin is the native token behind the blockchain’s governance and general operations. If you’re looking to participate in the Celo crypto protocol, understanding and investing in CELO coins is the obvious place to start.

, it’s often best to begin with the price of each individual token. As of May 27, 2024, each CELO coin is 

, a significant decrease of over 90% from its 2021 ATH of $9.82, but also substantially higher than its ATL of 

There are only 1 billion CELO coins in existence, with 

Despite recent price dips, there are reasons to think the CELO coin could become much more valuable in the future. After all, the coin is undergirding a system designed to boost mobile transactions, and the future of DeFI will likely depend on such systems. If CELO crypto gains in popularity thanks to its mobile-friendly model, then the CELO coin would correspondingly increase in value.

Crypto investments are inherently risky, and you can never be certain that a particular token will increase in price. Many tokens are tied to ideas, more than to products with existing value. This inherent intellectualization of the process makes it hard to predict winners and losers. With that said, there is reason to believe that the CELO coin could be worth adding to a diversified portfolio.

When considering the CELO coin’s potential, it’s important to remember how Celo could fit into the internet of the future. Web 3.0 is likely to consist of a series of decentralized applications with different cryptocurrencies, allowing for quick, affordable transactions. If the current internet is anything to go by, users will likely access digital platforms through their mobile devices. The Celo blockchain, with its focus on mobile users, is well placed to become a central component of this next-generation digital infrastructure.

Future internet users could come to see Celo as the WhatsApp of the crypto world. If many people, eager to play a role in governing the protocol, invest in CELO coins, they would thereby increase the value of the native token. Decentralized app developers will also appreciate the blockchain’s flexible framework. Together, these factors suggest Celo has a sustainable model that could grow in the months and years ahead.

Not only is the Celo blockchain primed to play a major role in web3, but the CELO coin’s inherent stability should also appeal to crypto investors. The Celo reserve remains calm and stable, guaranteeing the value of Celo stablecoins and providing a firm foundation for the entire system. This fundamental stability gives the Celo Foundation the leverage to scale the protocol in a safe, responsible manner.

In a bid to further optimize the payment process in the real world, the Celo team has 

 Stack. This migration would bring about several benefits, including:

Every crypto investor should be on the lookout for tokens that have both future promise and present stability. The CELO coin, thanks to the innovative nature of the Celo blockchain, has both of these essential qualities. If you’re willing to take on the inherent risk of a crypto investment and you’re looking for a particular token, CELO isn’t a bad choice.

While it’s almost always impossible to predict future prices with any sort of precision, experts can assess a coin and the blockchain protocol behind it before setting general expectations. In the case of the CELO coin, the genuine promise of the mobile-friendly model could lead to a long-term increase in price.

CELO experienced a brief spike in mid-March 2024 to $1.75, though it quickly tumbled to a low of $0.76 within a month. The coin has been trading sideways since that time. Despite the recent drop in CELO’s price, however, many forecasters hold favorable predictions for the CELO coin. DigitalCoinPrice 

 to cross $2 by 2025 and surge to $6.68 by 2030. CoinCodex is more bullish on CELO in the short term, 

 will reach $4.16 in 2025 but retrace slightly to $3.59 by 2030.

Remember that these predictions are based on a set of assumptions about the future that can’t be confirmed today. The crypto market, not to mention the world as a whole, is volatile. While experts can make educated predictions about what the future will hold, CELO’s price will ultimately depend on a slate of unforeseen factors that the world has yet to reveal. As always, we recommend you 

Now that you know what Celo is, let’s learn how to actually invest in CELO tokens. Buying and selling CELO is simple on the Bybit trading platform through either the 

From May 14—May 30, 2024, you can participate in two Celo events on Bybit to grab your share of a 

. The first is a Token Splash event, in which new and existing users can deposit CELO, or deposit USDT and trade CELO to earn from a total 100,000 USDC Prize Pool. The second is a 100,000 USDC CELO Airdrop, in which 5,000 lucky winners will receive 20 USDT each.

For beginners who want to know more about Celo, we hope our guide satisfies you. All in all, it’s a blockchain protocol designed to help mobile traders quickly and cheaply conduct crypto transactions. The system’s native token, CELO coin, allows for a PoS governance model, with the associated stablecoin giving the entire Celo framework stability. If you think Celo’s approach could make it a mainstay in the future of decentralized finance, then CELO might be worth your investment.
