Pencils Protocol is a comprehensive DeFi protocol on Scroll, which began the sale of its DAPP tokens on platforms such as Tokensoft, Bounce, and Coresky starting September 18, and sold out in a short period. It attracted over 50,000 certified users from more than 70 countries, including South Korea, CIS, and Turkey, receiving a warm response.
Currently, Pencils Protocol has a high market demand, and with only the Staking module launched, its TVL has already surpassed $350 million, accounting for about half of the TVL on the Scroll chain. At the same time, Pencils Protocol has attracted over 500,000 active users and is backed by a strong ecological community.
We believe there are several reasons for the market's attention on Pencils Protocol. One is the innovation in its products, such as the Staking module linking the LRT track and pre-market incentive market, which brings future revenue expectations to users while empowering growth for the LRT protocol. Its Vaults module is the first to introduce leveraged mining functionality and serves as an on-chain liquidity hub, providing continuous liquidity for different DeFi protocols and LRT protocols, significantly enhancing liquidity efficiency, capital efficiency, and user returns. Additionally, its auction and Shop modules connect the DeFi market with potential tracks like RWA, seeking more growth points for the market.
Another reason is profitability. The performance of the Pencils Protocol Staking module has shown us the growth potential of the protocol and its potential profitability. With the gradual launch of modules like Vaults, LaunchPad, and Shop, Pencils Protocol will further demonstrate strong profitability and will create strong market expectations for the DAPP token through buybacks, destruction, and scenario empowerment.
As the sale of Pencils Protocol DAPP tokens is completed, this will also signify that the Pencils Protocol ecosystem is entering a new stage, with DAPP becoming an important asset driving ecological growth. In this new development phase, Pencils Protocol has launched a series of noteworthy market activities, which this article will outline.
