1. pendulum; 125 perce
The Pendle Finance project allows users to buy crypto-assets at a discou and redeem the purchased tokens when the offered discou expires. This discou is offered from unrealized profits that have expired during the maturity period. Pendle also converts the earned profit io tokens and thus, you will have two types of tokens: Principal Token (PT) and Yield Token (YT). The main token is the tokens you bought and the return token is the expected future profit. Pendel helps you manage your profit and tokens separately by tokenizing the profit you have not yet received. You can even trade both assets.
The Pendle Finance token is PENDLE, which has been associated with a steady increase in value during the second quarter of the year. The PENDLE price was as low as $0.38 on April 1st and reached as high as $0.77 on June 30th. Therefore, its price growth in three mohs has been more than 120%. According to CoinGecko data, the highest quarterly price of this token since August 2021 was $0.96.
The total market value of Pendel also increased by more than 200% in the second quarter of the year and reached more than 35 million dollars on April 1st to more than 77 million dollars on June 30th.
One of the reasons for the growth of Pendel’s value during this period is the expansion of its yield program and the improveme of annual yield. The annual perceage return (APY) on this platform has grown up to 35%, and independe apps have also accepted Pendle’s tokenized future returns.
On June 28, Dolomite announced that it will accept Pendle’s main token (PT) for derivatives trading on its platform. Dolomite claims that Pendle users can borrow with their core tokens on the Dolomite loan page and receive ierest at the same time.
2. Bitcoin Cash; 104 perce
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has maiained the same economic system as Bitcoin since it split from the Bitcoin network in August 2017. This digital currency iroduces itself as a more practical version of Bitcoin; Because the TPS rate for Bitcoin Cash is 100 transactions per second, while this rate for Bitcoin is only 7 transactions per second. This is thanks to Bitcoin Cash’s 32MB block size, which holds approximately 25,000 transactions. With these functional differences, the economic model of Bitcoin Cash is still similar to Bitcoin.
Many large institutions in the financial sector have joined the crypto industry and are looking to offer cryptocurrency investme opportunities through exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and regulated trading platforms. One of the trading platforms in this field is the EDX Market exchange, which was launched almost a moh ago on June 20, 2023 (30 June 1402).

10. rendering; 45 perce
Render Network is a project that allows users to re out their excess GPU power to developers who need it. Artists or other coe creators can re GPUs from miners who have spare, idle GPUs. For this, it is enough to get the GPU power from the operator nodes and pay the native rendering token called RNDR.
The rendering network uses the Proof of Rendering (POR) algorithm. This consensus mechanism is a type of proof-of-work algorithm. Artists can verify that their art has been paid for before uploading their artwork or coe.
Rendering runs on the Ethereum blockchain and actually uses the blockchain to generate hash codes for artwork and send them piece by piece to nodes for re. Once approved, the fee the artist paid to the node operators for reing the GPU power is released.
RNDR price started at $1.37 on the first day of Q2 2023 and reached $1.98 on June 30. This token experienced its three-moh price peak on May 29, 2023 and traded at $2.75. This level was last seen in April 2022.
