Here’s some more information about the tokens:
SPX6900 (SPX) is a memecoin rallying against the S&P500, on a mission to overtake this traditional financial index. Traders can access the SPX6900 token across several blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Solana and Base. Like other memecoins, the SPX token does not have any ‘official’ utility — though it can be transferred and held on all supported chains.
Kyber Network Crystal (KNC) is a decentralized liquidity protocol used for token swaps. Kyber allows for instant token exchanges for any decentralized application (dapp) without the need for an intermediary. Kyber Network Crystal (KNC), the first deflationary staking token, plays a critical role in the network, allowing owners to earn staking rewards and voting rights on the protocol.
Saga (SAGA) is a protocol that empowers developers to launch application-specific blockchains (or Chainlets) with ease. Its integrated stack allows anyone to spin up a high-performance, interoperable chain suited to their specific use case — without the usual friction of working with blockchain tooling. The SAGA token serves a range of purposes, including staking, securing the network and participating in governance.
Qtum (QTUM) is a hybrid platform that combines elements of both Bitcoin and Ethereum. Qtum was the first to combine the value transfer functionality of Bitcoin (BTC) and the smart contract support of Ethereum (ETH) into a single platform. This allows users to build applications running on a blockchain, while also allowing their creations to transact in a way that’s similar to Bitcoin. The QTUM cryptocurrency is used to pay fees and provide governance on the platform.
Raydium (RAY) is an automated market maker (AMM) and liquidity provider built on the Solana-based Serum DEX, enabling users to rely on ecosystem-wide liquidity for trades and swaps.
Immutable X (IMX) is a layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum, designed to provide fast, secure, and gas-free transactions for NFTs through zk-rollups.
Pyth Network (PYTH) is one of the largest and fastest-growing first-party oracle networks. Pyth delivers real-time market data to financial dApps across 40+ blockchains and provides 380+ low-latency price feeds across cryptocurrencies, equities, ETFs, FX pairs, and commodities.
Onyxcoin (XCN) is a blockchain-based cloud infrastructure that enables organizations to build advanced financial services products. The protocol gives developers access to blockchain networks, allowing for data and transactions to be stored on a global server network. Chain Token (XCN) is the native token of the network which grants holders the right to vote on protocol improvements, pay for services across the chain protocol ecosystem as well as gain access to discounts and premium services.
