Three crypto products launch new user programs

Three cryptocurrency products opened new user programs or beta access on Oct. 27, targeting distinct corners of the on-chain market: meme-token creation on BNB Chain, stablecoin deposits in decentralized finance, and user-created prediction markets on Solana. Bullshot disclosed a $7.7 million funding round alongside its rewards program, InfiniFi continued a points campaign ahead of a planned 2026 token launch, and Melee opened a beta that lets users create tradable markets around live events and cultural topics.

The launches put user acquisition at the center of each product's early rollout. Rather than relying solely on trading activity, the platforms are pairing their core services with quests, points, or promotional funding allowances designed to bring wallets into their applications before their ecosystems have fully matured.

Bullshot pairs funding round with BNB Chain quests

Bullshot, an AI-driven platform for launching meme tokens on BNB Chain, said it raised $7.7 million in a round co-led by P2 Ventures and Animoca Brands. AWS and B1 Ventures also participated, according to the company.

The platform is designed to combine several steps of a token launch in one interface. Its listed tools include no-code token creation, bonding-curve sales, automatic migration to PancakeSwap, anti-sniping measures, liquidity locking, and revenue-sharing features for token creators.

A bonding curve is an automated pricing mechanism in which the price of a token changes as supply is bought or sold. In Bullshot's model, the curve is intended to handle an early trading phase before liquidity migrates to PancakeSwap, a decentralized exchange operating on BNB Chain and other networks.

Bullshot's new Bull Gems area directs users to connect a wallet and complete Quests & Earn tasks. The available activities include daily check-ins, social-media tasks, and weekly missions. The program gives Bullshot a way to reward early engagement while it attempts to attract creators in a crowded meme-token market, where launch platforms compete on distribution, token mechanics, and protection against automated trading bots.

The combination of a funding announcement and a user-task program suggests Bullshot is building both sides of its marketplace at once: creators who launch tokens and users who trade or participate in associated campaigns. Whether anti-sniping tools and locked liquidity offer meaningful protection will depend on their implementation and on the terms of individual token launches.

InfiniFi extends points program before 2026 token event

InfiniFi is using a points program to encourage stablecoin deposits before its planned INFI token generation event in the fourth quarter of 2026. The protocol says its points rewards increased on Aug. 26 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time and will continue through the token event.

According to InfiniFi, the program uses a fixed distribution model, meaning the allocated points pool is not diluted as new participants join. That structure differs from open-ended campaigns in which a larger group of users can reduce each participant's eventual share of a reward pool.

Users can access the program through infinifi.xyz by opening the Points Program, connecting a wallet, and depositing USDC through the Portfolio section. Deposits mint iUSD, a receipt token representing a user's position in the protocol. Users can then choose partner routes that offer points multipliers.

InfiniFi says it routes deposited capital through strategies with different terms involving Aave, Pendle, and Ethena, and states that it does not use leverage. Aave is a decentralized lending protocol, Pendle is known for markets tied to yield-bearing assets, and Ethena issues the synthetic dollar USDe. The range of integrations gives InfiniFi access to multiple sources of on-chain yield, while also exposing depositors to the smart-contract, liquidity, and protocol-specific risks associated with those venues.

The planned INFI allocation reserves 45% of tokens for the ecosystem, 20% for the team, 20% for backers, and 15% for the foundation, according to InfiniFi. The ecosystem share places a substantial portion of supply around community and product incentives, though the eventual value of points or their conversion terms has not been specified in the information provided.

Melee opens Solana prediction-market beta

Melee launched the beta version of its Solana-based prediction market on Oct. 27 after raising $3.5 million, the company said. The application allows users to create markets linked to sports, cryptocurrency, politics, and pop culture.

Its markets use a PMM-style bonding curve for pricing. PMM, or proactive market making, is a mechanism designed to set prices algorithmically using available liquidity and market demand instead of relying on a traditional order book. The approach can make it easier to create markets with limited initial participation, though pricing quality will depend on liquidity and trader activity.

Melee also says creators receive a share of trading revenue generated in markets they start. That model gives users a direct financial reason to create questions that attract participation, potentially making market design and distribution as important as the underlying event being predicted.

New users can register at beta.melee.markets and select Open case to receive a case containing a prediction funding allowance, according to Melee. The allowance is aimed at helping users participate during the beta, when the platform is seeking activity across newly created markets.

Prediction markets have become a competitive product category across several chains, with platforms attempting to balance liquidity, market resolution, compliance considerations, and incentives for market creators. Melee's Solana deployment gives it access to a network built for low-cost, high-throughput transactions, while its creator-revenue model links platform growth to users' ability to produce markets that others want to trade.

Across the three releases, the common strategy is less about introducing a single new financial primitive than reducing the friction of getting users into one. Bullshot is packaging token creation and launch mechanics, InfiniFi is turning stablecoin deposits into reward-eligible receipt positions, and Melee is giving users tools and funding to create prediction markets. Each program may draw early participation, but users will need to assess the underlying product mechanics and risks separately from any points, quests, or promotional allowances attached to them.
