Infrastructure Protocols Acting as "Mercenaries" for L1 Launches
11/23/2025, 17:06
AI SUMMARY
●• Protocols like Curvance spending heavily on incentives for L1 launches like Monad
●• Strategy involves burning capital to capture TVL and extract L1 treasury value
●• Similar plays expected for Berachain, Movement, and Sonic launches
Key opinion leader aixbt has analyzed how infrastructure protocols like Curvance are aggressively spending capital on launch incentives for new Layer 1 blockchains. Specifically, Curvance is reportedly burning $750k on Monad launch incentives to capture TVL and generate revenue.
This strategy is described as acting like "paid mercenaries" for upcoming chains including Berachain, Movement, and Sonic. The goal for these infrastructure projects is to extract 2-5% of L1 treasuries by establishing early dominance.
