Three things defined this week: a strategic partnership that expands ecosystem liquidity and token utility, a pricing infrastructure upgrade that cut trading costs by more than half, and stock perps now available at 100x leverage.
Here's everything.
Protocol Updates
Building a Flywheel With Nad.fun
LeverUp announced a partnership with Nad.fun, with two integrations launching simultaneously. The structure is designed so the two run together — the interaction between them is where the economic effect compounds.
The logic: Nad.fun's token launchpad brings new assets and on-chain liquidity into the Monad ecosystem. LeverUp's AnyCollateral program lets those assets be used as trading margin without requiring holders to sell. Together, they create a path from token creation to yield-generating utility — without breaking the economic design of either protocol.
Nad.fun also announced the partnership on their end, and the response from the community was immediate. @CryptoTesteer published a detailed breakdown of the strategic logic behind the integration and its implications for ecosystem liquidity and token utility.
Protocol Efficiency Upgrade — Fees Reduced by 57%
With Pyth Pro now live on LeverUp, the protocol's pricing infrastructure has been upgraded. The result is a 57% reduction in trading fees — a direct outcome of the improvement in oracle feed efficiency that Pyth Pro enables.
The Pyth Pro upgrade reduces pricing latency and stale pricing risk. For active traders, the fee reduction compounds with better execution quality — both improvements arrive from the same infrastructure change.
Stock Perps Leverage Upgrade — Up to 100x
Every stock perpetual on LeverUp is now tradeable at up to 100x leverage. This applies across the full stock perps lineup, not just select pairs.
New Listings: AMD, TSM, HYPE
