Deep Dive
1. Launchpool #46 Goes Live (14 August 2025)
Overview: ONUS launched its 46th Launchpool, distributing 15.9M GPT5 tokens (32% of total supply) over 21 days. Users stake OLP (burned post-pool), ONUS, or ETH to earn rewards. GPT5, inspired by OpenAI, aims to build an “intelligent meme ecosystem.”
What this means: This could increase ONUS utility and platform activity, but GPT5’s meme status introduces volatility risk. Burning OLP may reduce supply, potentially boosting its value. (ONUS)
2. New Short-Term Staking Pools (8 August 2025)
Overview: ONUS added 7-day and 14-day staking pools to its Shares program, offering 400-450 vONUS per 1,000 ONUS staked. These join existing pools (30-1,460 days), letting users align staking with market cycles.
What this means: Shorter lock-ups may attract cautious investors, but the 22.17% APY ceiling suggests ONUS prioritizes sustainable yields over aggressive growth. (ONUS)
3. VIP 3 Requirements Halved (6 August 2025)
Overview: VIP 3 now requires 2,500 ONUS (vs. 5,000) or reduced trading volumes. Daily limits doubled across VIP tiers, with VIP 3 getting 10% fee discounts and $50k staking limits.
What this means: Lower entry barriers could increase retail participation, but higher leverage access raises platform risk exposure during market swings. (ONUS)
Conclusion
ONUS is expanding utility (Launchpool), accessibility (VIP), and flexibility (Shares) to drive engagement. While these moves could stabilize demand for its token, meme coin reliance and leverage risks linger. Will shorter staking terms attract new users without diluting long-term holder incentives?
