Grape Finance Review: An Algorithmic Stablecoin Protocol Pegged to MIM

Press Release • March 28, 2022

Grape Finance is an algorithm-based stable coin protocol designed to maintain a stable peg to MIM on Avalanche. It uses three token types to incentivize a stable 1:1 peg to MIM; GRAPE, WINE, and GBOND.

GRAPE’s supply is dynamically adjusted by the protocol’s underlying mechanism, driving its price up or down concerning the price of MIM. It is stated that MIM remains pegged to $1 USD. However, MIM may lose its peg occasionally. In this case, the protocol will follow MIM to maintain the 1:1 peg.



How GRAPE is Different From Other Algorithmic Protocols

Many forks are currently working on pegging to their L1 tokens to increase the amount of liquidity in the native token. Due to the rise of decentralized TVLs and smart contracts, the MIM project feels that it’s more important than ever to help increase the amount of liquidity in the stablecoin market.


The team aims to provide a more robust and stable stablecoin alternative to AVAX by pegging MIM instead of AVAX. It will allow MIM to become a more flexible and stable cross-chain alternative. Unlike MIM, GRAPE is not backed by any physical commodities. It means that it can be used as a stablecoin without locking up capital.


Grape Finance Features

Grape Finance LaunchPad

Grape Finance is working hard for partnerships with top upcoming projects on Avalanche. It aims to give WINE holders and LPs exclusive access and one-in-a-lifetime benefits.


The Grape Finance launchpad will include whitelist access, IDOs, membership rights, and amazing deals to benefit the community.


The Grape DAO also plans to build a solid community-led launchpad to bring Avalanche growth. This new adventure will build a new, unique and beneficial thing for the community. So far, they have made partnerships with Asgard and Hermes Finance that offer unique yielding opportunities for both the Grape and partner protocol.


Genesis Pools

On contract formation on Thursday, 13 January 2022, 1 GRAPE token was first generated so that the developers may build the TraderJoe LP pair (GRAPE/MIM). Because one token is insufficient to maintain any trading activity, the typical approach to establishing these protocols is to create a Genesis Pool. Here, these tokens are dispersed across the community in exchange for providing liquidity to a Genesis Pool found in the vineyard(farm).


In the first 24 hours, 2400 GRAPE tokens were released to the pool stakers. After 24 hours, the project distributed an additional nine days of pools(21600) to the remaining reward GRAPE supply. Notably, the project offered AVAX and MIM staking pools during this time. However, their weightings were substantially less than the LP pairs.


Winery(Boardroom)

WINE deposits and withdrawals into the Boardroom lock WINE for four epochs (24 hours) and GRAPE awards for two epochs (12hrs). The same happens for GRAPE rewards; this will lock staked WINE for four epochs (24 hours). Users may only claim the following GRAPE rewards after two epochs (12hrs).


Expansion

If the time-weighted average price of GRAPE is over 1.01 at the start of every epoch, new coins will be minted in the boardroom. The number of new coins distributed will depend on the current circulating supply. Notably, the first seven days after the Winery, 2.5% emissions were made for rewards.


The debt phase begins after a contraction period for expansion epochs, where there are still GBONDs to be redeemed. A portion of the expansion is allocated to the treasury fund to prepare for the bond redemption during this period.


Tokens

Grape Finance has three tokens on its platforms. The first is GRAPE a MIM pegged token. It is designed to be used as a stablecoin for exchanges, lending, and borrowing. Its algorithm aims to keep GRAPE and MIM at 1:1 for the long run.


The second one is WINE. The GRAPE token is a way to measure the value of the Grape Finance protocol and its shareholders. It is distributed to all WINE holders who have invested in the Winery.


GRAPE Bond(GBOND) helps incentivize GRAPE changes in supply during an epoch contraction period. It does this by issuing bonds when the TWAP of the token falls below 1.01 MIM. Users can redeem these bonds for GRAPE once the price is above the peg for a premium. The selling pressure on GRAPE then pushes it back toward a 1 MIM ratio.


Roadmap Details: What is Next?

According to the roadmap, the first quarter is almost done. It featured grape staking, partnerships, wine governance, and raffle integration. The last remaining step is NFT drop for LPs & WINE hodlers providing exclusive access to new developments. They are currently working on launching their protocol node system, which will lock up supply, build a treasury of protocol liquidity, and let investors earn daily passive yields.

We can expect UI/UX website revamp, chainlink integrations, and lending and borrowing features in the upcoming second quarter. Furthermore, auto repaying loans, leveraged positions, and an NFT based p2e game and staking will be introduced.


In the third and fourth quarters, there are many mini-projects that Grape finance will be working on during that time. They will implement cross-chain Grape liquidity, integrate Grape to large landing platforms, yield strategies, and more partnerships. In addition, the project will create its mobile app, add card/NFC payments and payment rewards, and a cashback system.


Benefits of Grape Finance

Security

Grape Finance aims for the community to feel secure when utilizing the platform. First and foremost, the project has eliminated the need to rely on them because users can confirm everything for themselves. “Don’t trust, verify,” as the popular Bitcoin/crypto slogan goes. They have completed KYC with an independent verifier thus far.


Furthermore, they have done a comprehensive audit of the present contracts with no issues. They have resigned control of the Grape token contract, making it impossible for anyone/anything other than the Treasury contract to manufacture other Grape.


Contract Renouncing

There is a mint function in the Grape token contract by default, this can be a vulnerability if the deployer address is stolen or if a malicious team deployed these contracts. To remove this vulnerability we renounced the ownership of the Grape token contract so only the treasury contract can mint tokens, which is only possible through its programmed schedule.


Staking

Grape Finance has a Winery that allows users to stake their Wine and earn the newly minted Grape each epoch when Grape is above 1.01 TWAP. Users can also stake Grape and LP tokens into the Vineyard to earn high daily yields of Wine.


Final Thoughts

Essentially the Grape Finance team aims for GRAPE to mimic MIM as a stablecoin. However, without having to lock up collateral to create it, part of this includes adding lending and borrowing of GRAPE in the next quarter. One main issue algorithmic protocols have is sustainability. To solve this, the project adds these features on top of the base protocol to add utility to these tokens.

A new Solana meme coin, $BULLISH, has launched with a clear, headline-friendly target: flip the market cap of Bullish (BLSH), a public company the project describes as sitting around the $5B mark.  The campaign is being introduced alongside a narrative article titled “The Bullish Manifesto,” written by Patrick, which argues that traditional capital formation often ends the same way: early money exits near the top while retail buyers arrive late and absorb the drawdown. The manifesto angle In “The Bullish Manifesto,” Patrick claims “big money exited at the top” of $BLSH while retail kept buying and was left to suffer, a pattern he says shows up repeatedly across IPO cycles. He says the thesis pushed him to exit his entire $BLSH position and pivot into a public experiment with one goal: “Demonstrate, in real time, that a meme coin version can outperform every traditional capital stack that came before it, starting by flipping the $BLSH stock valued at $5.6B MC.” Why the campaign is leaning into the GameStop playbook The story is designed to feel familiar to anyone who watched the GameStop era unfold.c The $BULLISH narrative points to a moment when crowd conviction challenged institutional positioning and turned a “far-fetched” outcome into a market event. It also name-checks the archetype of the retail catalyst: Roaring Kitty, whose posts became synonymous with collective belief and a refusal to back down. In the project’s framing, it was another reminder that large institutions can take outsized risks while ordinary people live with the consequences. $BULLISH positions itself as a crypto-native remix of that energy: a simple ticker, a simple mission, and a community goal that can be understood in one sentence. The scoreboard: $BLSH vs $BULLISH At the time of writing (per the project’s own comparison), Bullish (BLSH) sits around a $5B market cap, while $BULLISH sits near $20M. The campaign argues that “flipping the stock” implies a roughly 250x move from current levels, while acknowledging the core memecoin reality: outcomes depend on attention, liquidity, and sustained community momentum.

The brand leans into a simple mission: keep the energy bullish, keep building, and keep showing up, even when markets get ugly. Bullish Degen focuses on community identity through visual culture, official merchandise, and interactive tooling like its PFP generator, all hosted on Bullish Degen . The project’s rallying cry is direct and meme-native: “You’re not bullish enough.” For real-time updates and announcements, follow X .

Wiener , a new mobile analytics platform for the Solana ecosystem, has launched globally on the Apple App Store. The app converts Solana’s continuous on-chain activity stream into a curated set of actionable signals designed for everyday market participants.  Solana’s low fees and high throughput have made it one of the busiest networks in the digital-asset sector. The same speed, however, generates an overwhelming volume of data. Wiener aims to make that information more accessible by filtering and ranking on-chain events in real time. This strategy presents only the developments most likely to influence market attention. “Most retail traders do not need more dashboards. They need clarity,” said Tetiana Kvashuk, creator of the Wiener app. “The goal is to surface meaningful events the moment they occur, without requiring users to sit inside terminals all day.” A Push-First Approach to Market Intelligence Wiener operates on a notification-driven model. Subscribers receive alerts on emerging tokens, unusual on-chain behaviour, wallet activity, and momentum changes across the Solana landscape. These signals come in real time. This means users can see how the market is moving without having to constantly check social media or analytics sites. Token profiles in the app give users quick looks at liquidity, ownership concentration, recent activity, and basic safety indicators. The layout is simple on purpose so that it is easy to read instead of having complicated charts. Advanced users can access modules such as Fresh Wallets, Good Traders, Bots, Whale Map, KOLs, and X Stats. These tools highlight newly active addresses, historically effective trading patterns, automated trading behaviour, large-holder movements, and social-driven shifts. Built for Simplicity, Independent by Design Although Wiener ingests large amounts of blockchain data, its interface is structured around a small set of metrics. This system is designed to allow for quick data interpretation, rather than overwhelming users. All buying and selling happens outside of the app on platforms that the user chooses. Wiener's published privacy policy says that it is not an exchange, wallet, or custodial service. To clarify: Wiener does not store or move crypto assets. This separation lets the project focus only on analytics and notification services. About Wiener Wiener is a mobile analytics app focused on real-time alerts and simplified on-chain insights for the Solana blockchain. The combination of continuous monitoring with structured filtering is at the core of this initiative. In fact, the app aims to help retail participants understand fast-moving markets without relying on complex trading tools. Wiener does not custody assets or execute trades and is not affiliated with the Solana Foundation. Wiener is free to download but requires a subscription to access any functionality. Plans - Basic Weekly, Premium, and Pro - are available through Apple’s in-app purchase system. Pricing varies by region; in the United States, subscriptions currently range from $3.99 per week to $17.99 per month depending on alert volume and feature access. Subscriptions renew automatically and can be managed through the user’s Apple ID settings. The Wiener app is now available for iPhone devices running iOS 13 or later. Anyone can find it under the name “Wiener” in the Finance category of the App Store. Further information is available on the project’s official website and on the social media pages listed below.

REKT, a meme token built on Solana, officially started its presale event. The project has passed three SolidProof audits and one Coinsult audit, proving that its staking and claim logic is sound. The team introduces a verified Loss Claim function, allowing traders to convert on-chain losses into $REKT. The Loss Claim Function REKT was created by a trader who lost everything, repeatedly. Instead of quitting, he built a system that turns pain into purpose. $REKT rewards what most cryptocurrencies ignore: real loss, verified on-chain. The Loss Claim feature is the main new thing about the project. The idea is to let wallets receive funds as a partial compensation for real trading losses in approved tokens. Looking at this process with a little more detail, each wallet can make one claim per month. However, such an amount can't be more than 50,000 $REKT. Also, the exact computation of the claim will depend on a so-called "portfolio multiplier". This number can grow with a) wallet age and b) staking activity, rewarding loyal holders. Strict anti-bot filters, cooldowns, and spoof protection ensure every claim is real. The Rage Claim Feature Presale tokens are auto-staked at purchase and vest linearly over six months. Early unlocks are allowed under the Rage Claim mechanism, which burns a portion of tokens based on timing: 20% in week one 15% in weeks two to three 10% in weeks four to six 5% after week six Burned amounts are redistributed: 50% to staking, 25% to treasury, and 25% to the burn wallet. Tokenomics The total supply of $REKT is fixed at 1 billion tokens. There will always be 1 billion tokens of $REKT. Fifty percent of that supply goes to the community presale, which is based on clear milestones instead of insider rounds. Another 15% is set aside for liquidity to keep the DEX stable. Also, 10% goes to the staking pool, while twenty percent goes to the treasury for growth and development. Finally, the remaining five percent goes to community projects, contests, and collaborations. There is a 1% tax on every transaction. This tax is automatically split up: 50% goes to staking rewards, 25% goes to the treasury, and 25% goes to the burn wallet. After burning 200 million $REKT, the supply reduction halts, and the tax splits evenly between staking and treasury. Roadmap The development of REKT follows a clear three-phase plan. The first stage is all about the launch and the base. Smart contracts will be put on Solana and the staking dashboard will go live. Also, SolidProof audits will check all of the systems. The second phase turns on the core logic of REKT. This includes the DEX tax system, tracking of the leaderboard, and the release of Loss Claim v2. This upgrade will come with better wallet multipliers and on-chain filters. The third phase centers on scaling and community growth. At this point, the team will launch NFT-based staking and will work for CEX outreach. Also, the official roadmap mentions more audit rounds that will complete the cycle. This milestone will mark REKT’s full transition from meme to movement. About REKT REKT is a meme token built on Solana that rewards verified losses through a whole new feature. With multiple audits, transparent vesting, and verifiable claim logic, REKT transforms trading failure into blockchain history. REKT's smart contracts have passed three full SolidProof audits and one Coinsult audit, validating both contract safety and claim logic. The upcoming presale will allow anyone to join this upcoming project with its new features. As a major highlight, REKT has recently joined a live AMA event on Binance, sharing key updates and insights with the community. The social media pages and the project’s website are a way to keep in touch with this team and with REKT's upcoming milestones: X (Twitter) | Telegram.
