another relatively underfarmed product
@yellow
- uses smart contract escrow on state channels for fast low-cost
- Off-chain matching via state channels for fast execution; net positions settle on-chain
- selfcustody trading
- spot live since march '26, around 9M total daily volume across 3 pairs (focus is mainly on btc/eth)
- doing agentic stuff namely agentic payment rails using $YELLOW which is staked as collateral
- 10M raised BUT they actually refunded VCs to early investors to maintain more community focused alignment, net capital retained from external funding is now very low (~$2–3M max, mostly from the public sale)
- $YELLOW did a 5x from public sale thus far
- State channels deliver theoretically unlimited TPS, <1s latency, and $0 gas vs L1/L2 limits
