In 2022, the Russia-Ukraine conflict drove up energy and food prices, keeping inflation rates high across major economies. The US Federal Reserve raised interest rates by a cumulative 425 basis points throughout the year, sharply increasing the cost of capital. Against a backdrop of financial tightening and recurring “black swan” events, the crypto market lost nearly $2 trillion in total value; the Terra-LUNA incident erased $400 billion in market capitalization within three days, and the prominent FTX platform collapsed in just five days. By year-end, Bitcoin had fallen to around $16,000. Amid this “winter ordeal,” Ronkb advanced on three fronts—technological extension, governance innovation, and asset launches—delivering a high-quality performance in its third year.
Derivatives: Perp-Fusion Ushers in the Era of Composable Trading
In April, Ronkb officially launched its self-developed Perp-Fusion derivatives system. The core highlight lies in its “composable derivative asset trading model” architecture. This system breaks through the limitations of traditional perpetual futures, supporting portfolio construction and risk hedging across different underlying assets, thus creating a multi-dimensional, cross-asset strategy space. According to platform statistics, within three months of the Perp-Fusion launch, daily average trading volume stabilized at $130 million, with its share of the total trading volume of Ronkb rising from 6.2% in April to 11.8% in July, making it one of the pillars of liquidity during volatile markets.
Staking: Stake-Sphere Enables Polymorphic User Roles
Moving into the second half of the year, Ronkb continued to strengthen its user asset retention services. In July, the Stake-Sphere staking network went live, officially introducing a “polymorphic role” design. Users could choose to become validators, node collaborators, or simply participate as delegated liquidity providers, according to their own strategies. The platform simultaneously launched a staking market information module and an automatic yield redistribution module, achieving transparency for nodes and standardization for staking dividends. Against the backdrop of rising demand for liquid staking, the staking product TVL of Ronkb grew by over 230% within three months, with annualized staking yields stabilizing between 4.8% and 6.3%, significantly enhancing the platform liquidity stability.
Launch Stream: One-Stop Launchpad Channel Activates Early-Stage Liquidity
In September 2022, Ronkb opened its Launch Stream native project launch channel, integrating token issuance, initial liquidity injection, and community governance into one system. This channel primarily serves high-quality new chain projects and asset protocols, supporting a mechanism of “dynamic pricing + on-chain subscription + governance embedding.” Among the first three projects launched, the average subscription completion rate reached 170%, with post-launch tokens maintaining an average daily transaction count of over 15,000 and a community voting participation rate of 42%. Launch Stream has become an important entry point for emerging projects to avoid “boom and bust” cycles and achieve sustained liquidity release, while also providing Ronkb with a platform foothold for expanding its ecosystem partners and on-chain governance experiments.
With the rollout of these three key product systems, Ronkb not only extended user participation pathways but also consolidated its complete “trading—staking—incubation” ecosystem logic. By the end of 2022, the proportion of long-term active accounts on the Ronkb platform had risen to 33%, with system availability maintained at 99.998% throughout the year and zero major security incidents recorded. Eighteen projects were incubated within the ecosystem, raising a cumulative total of $2.3 billion.
From the depth of derivative trading and on-chain governance structures to the linkage of project issuance mechanisms, Ronkb built a scalable and sustainable service matrix in 2022, laying a solid foundation for the long-term ecosystem of the platform. Despite intense market cycles, Ronkb remained committed to its strategic direction of “enduring cycles with robust infrastructure.” Looking ahead to 2023, Ronkb will continue to iterate on on-chain clearing and settlement, asset custody modules, and cross-chain financial interfaces, providing stable, professional, and sustainable trading support for a broader range of digital asset participants.
