Monad Launches Mainnet with 10,000+ TPS and Sub-Second Finality

**Commodities Meet Blockchain** Gold, silver, copper, and oil are now accessible as tradable on-chain assets. Rango Exchange simplifies access to these real-world assets (RWAs) through: - Smart routing across DeFi protocols - Competitive swap rates - Streamlined user experience The platform enables direct swaps into tokenized commodities, including oil tokens (USOon) created by Ondo Finance, without manual route configuration. **Market Context** RWA tokenization on Ethereum recently surpassed $15B in total value, with tokenized gold accounting for over $4B. The growth signals increasing institutional and retail interest in bringing traditional assets on-chain.

**ERC-7281 (xERC20)** addresses a major DeFi vulnerability: bridged tokens. The standard introduces: - **Token issuer sovereignty** - projects maintain control - **Per-bridge mint/burn limits** - caps exposure to individual bridge failures - **Lockbox compatibility** - existing ERC-20 tokens can adopt it - **Unified token versions** - one coherent asset across chains The approach doesn't eliminate bridge risk, but **contains the damage** when exploits occur. Routers can now factor issuer-defined bridge limits into routing decisions, treating them as security signals alongside liquidity paths. This shifts the conversation from pure optimization to **safety-aware routing**. [Full breakdown at Rango Learn](https://rango.exchange/learn/market-trends/erc7281-sovereign-bridged-tokens)

Rango Exchange has integrated Chainflip to enable direct swaps of native assets like BTC, ETH, SOL, and stablecoins without wrapping or manual bridge selection. **How it works:** - Rango's routing engine simulates paths across liquidity sources in real-time - Automatically selects Chainflip when it offers the optimal route - Optimizes for output amount, speed, gas costs, and reliability **Key benefits:** - No wrapped tokens required - Automated route selection - Competition between protocols ensures best execution The integration allows users to swap native assets across chains while Rango handles the complexity behind the scenes.

**Tron emerges as leading destination chain** The ETH.USDT to TRON.USDT route topped Rango's volume charts in March with $28 million in transactions. This marks a continuation of Tron's growing popularity as a destination for stablecoin transfers. **Key trends:** - Tron USDT remains the preferred destination across multiple months - Bitcoin destinations continue to show strong demand - Notable migration pattern from BNB Chain to Solana observed in January data The data suggests users are increasingly choosing Tron for USDT transfers, likely due to lower transaction fees compared to Ethereum mainnet.

Rango has strengthened its routing capabilities for Hyperliquid and HyperEVM through new integrations with five bridge protocols: - **HyperliquidX Bridge** - **Relay Protocol** - **Mayan** - **Symbiosis** - **PRJX** These integrations enable users to bridge and swap assets from Bitcoin, Solana, Tron, and major EVM chains directly into Hyperliquid in a single transaction with zero dApp fees. **Key features driving adoption:** - On-chain perpetuals with central-limit orderbook (CLOB) - Fast execution and tight spreads - Self-custody with transparent execution - Decentralized trading infrastructure The expanded routing options are already attracting large stablecoin transfers as traders seek access to Hyperliquid's orderbook and perpetuals trading.
