LINEA: LINEA has become a hot topic after being listed on major exchanges, with its decentralized tokenomics and unique economic design drawing attention. There were some service interruptions in the early stages of the listing due to high traffic, but the network has now stabilized.

While some are concerned about token utility and stablecoin competition, the overall sentiment remains positive, with many anticipating substantial returns from this sale.

Following the in-depth analysis of Sun Yuchen's "Three No's Principle" in the previous article "Sun Yuchen's Lecture 9 Years Ago Made Waves on the Internet: Why Not Buy a House, Car, or Get Married?" we discovered that behind this life choice lies a more profound wealth philosophy: his deep reflections on the essence of wealth, societal changes, and an individual's position in the historical flow. "Not buying a house, not buying a car, not getting married" is just superficial; what's truly worth exploring is: How does Sun Yuchen understand wealth? What insights does he have into China's wealth creation and inheritance dilemma? Why can't Chinese people become rich and sustain wealth beyond three generations? What are the institutional and cultural roots behind this? What kind of era transition are we experiencing in his view? Why did he acknowledge Trump's election as president 9 years ago? The answers to these questions are also hidden in Sun Yuchen's audio course "Road to Wealth Freedom Revolution" from 9 years ago, where, at a life juncture when he had just graduated from PKU, returned from studying in the United States, and was preparing to make a big impact, Sun Yuchen's thoughts explained his personal wealth concept. Over the years, Sun Yuchen has indeed validated his judgments through practice.
2. "How does Columbia-produced, 0 Fee Variational generate revenue?"
While most Perp DEXes are trying to create a product faster and cheaper than Hyperliquid, Variational has taken a different approach, designing a completely different business model. Instead of engaging in a speed and fee race, they fundamentally reconsidered the question of how a perpetual contract trading platform should operate. From CEX to DEX, whether spot or perpetual, the revenue models of traditional trading platforms are quite straightforward — charging fees. Binance charges 0.1%, Hyperliquid charges 0.025%, which seems to have become an industry norm. However, Variational has achieved true zero fees and still maintains a substantial income. Their OLP achieved over 300% annualized returns from April to July 2025, with a total trading volume surpassing $1.2 billion. What is the reason behind this? While most Perp DEXes are still struggling to attract market makers and trying to balance the interests of traders and liquidity providers, what new solution has Variational provided? What is the team's background like? Rhythm BlockBeats will provide an in-depth introduction to Variational, a project that redefines the rules of the perp DEX game, to see how they have perfectly combined "technological innovation, business model, and risk engineering" to create a perpetual contract trading platform that can achieve zero fees while maintaining high returns.
