first_img Ostium co-founder: two-year agreement revenue of approximately 44.7 million USD, gross profit of 2.96 million USD

The co-founder of the real-world asset perpetual contract protocol Ostium, Kaledora, published a statement explaining the financial and revenue model of the protocol. She stated that approximately $44.7 million in total revenue over two years on Dune comes from four on-chain fees: $20.39 million in opening fees, $16.5 million in spreads, $4.75 million in rollover fees, and $3.35 million in liquidation fees.Of the aforementioned revenue, $22.14 million (49.6%) flows to the OLP treasury, $19.55 million (43.8%) is for liquidity costs, including $16.05 million for hedging and $3.49 million in hedging interest, leaving a gross profit of $2.96 million (6.6%). She noted that the total on-chain revenue does not include off-chain hedging costs, and prior to the liquidity upgrade in April, the protocol did not have the capability to monetize traffic; a security incident occurred just months after the system was upgraded.In terms of financing, Ostium raised $300,000 in 2022, $3.6 million in 2023, $4.1 million in 2024, and $19.4 million in 2025. The team is expected to expand from about 12 people in 2025 to 35 people by the second quarter of 2026, investing in costs related to data authorization, marketing, cloud infrastructure, auditing, and AI. She mentioned that the company has not reserved a balance sheet sufficient to cope with such incidents and that the silence has been too long. The next step will allow the remaining 345 OLP holders to share in business growth, with plans to announce the second phase recovery plan in the coming week.

first_img Aave Labs proposed to establish the Cayman Aave Foundation, with Phase 1 covering only entity registration

The developer of the decentralized lending protocol Aave, Aave Labs, has published an ARFC on the governance forum, proposing the establishment of the Aave Foundation. This entity will be a memberless foundation company in the Cayman Islands, which will hold the Aave trademark and related intellectual property for the Aave Protocol.The proposal only covers Phase 1, which includes entity registration and the appointment of initial independent directors and supervisors. The transfer of trademarks, domain names, and intellectual property of the codebase, as well as the scope of operations, will be addressed in subsequent phases and must be submitted for governance separately. Phase 1 only applies for registration, legal work, and reasonable expenses for the appointment of directors, supervisors, and secretaries, with no recurring budget; future funding must be proposed separately.The foundation is established under the Foundation Companies Act, with its charter goals limited to holding, protecting, and licensing intellectual property for the Aave Protocol. Aave Labs, DAO service providers, and their affiliates have no right to appoint directors or supervisors and cannot hold such positions. After the initial appointments, the removal and appointment of directors can only be done through an AIP. If this ARFC reaches community consensus, it will enter Snapshot, and then the related expenses will be authorized through an AIP, followed by registration in the Cayman Islands and completion of the appointments.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang holds nearly 870 million shares, with a net worth of approximately 200 billion USD

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang held approximately 870 million shares of NVIDIA stock as of March 23, 2026, accounting for 3.58% of the company's total equity. Based on NVIDIA's stock price of $231.49 in early October, this portion of shares is valued at approximately $201 billion. According to Forbes, Jensen Huang currently has a net worth of about $200 billion, with his personal wealth primarily derived from his holdings in NVIDIA.Jensen Huang is known to be the largest individual shareholder of NVIDIA. Due to U.S. SEC regulations, individual investors holding less than 5% of shares are not required to disclose their holdings, so it is possible that there are undisclosed individual shareholders with holdings exceeding those of Jensen Huang. Major institutional shareholders currently holding more than 5% include BlackRock and Vanguard Group, with ownership percentages of 7.43% and 7.31%, respectively.Jensen Huang co-founded NVIDIA in 1993. Before NVIDIA's first stock split in 1999, he held approximately 2.9 million shares, accounting for 9.9% of the company. If he had retained those shares until now, adjusted for stock splits, it would be close to 2.8 billion shares, indicating that he has since reduced his holdings. In fiscal year 2025, NVIDIA paid him a total compensation of $35.5 million, which included a base salary of $1.5 million, a cash bonus of $3 million, and approximately $31 million in equity granted in the form of 936,800 performance stock units.
