propAMMs: Better than CEX?
PropAMMs are all about onchain execution
Network coverage is where Castle Labs connects protocol design to ecosystem outcomes. We write about L2 economics, sequencer and data-availability tradeoffs, incentive design, consumer-app bets, and the strategic positioning of ecosystems like Arbitrum, Starknet, Mantle, MegaETH, and Base. This lane matters to foundations, protocols, investors, and builders because the question is no longer whether blockspace can scale; it is which networks can turn scale into durable demand.

PropAMMs are all about onchain execution

Over the last couple of years, since the launch of Bitcoin ETFs, BTC has become an increasingly institutionalised and legitimised asse.

While most metrics are down across the board, the RWA sector is the only one showing consistent growth, with tokenised stocks among the fastest-growing RWA categories right now.

For the last cycle, crypto has been strengthening its infrastructure, but the core audience remained the same.
