XPR/METAL farming pair on Proton Swap is currently paying 490% APR but it won't last for long.

I'm keeping an eye on XPR Network (not XRP lol) and METAL Blockchain.
before you go about spending big bucks on bitcoin, learn the importance of HARDWARE WALLETS and why YOU SHOULD STAMP YOUR SEED PHRASE ON A METAL PLATE AND NEVER SHOW ANYONE IT EVER. once you understand it, feel free to buy in either one lump sum, or dca that $10k over time.
I'm more or less all in on the Metallicus ecosystem, XPR, METAL, LOAN
Download STRIKE app, send cash to it, buy bitcoin. Send bitcoin to hardware wallet, make sure to have METAL ENGRAVED BACKUP SEED of hardware wallet.
Full disclosure, this is straight copy/paste from an answer to a similar question a week or two back re drip feed into some altcoins. Not particularly well written, but just easier to cut/paste than re-write: ----- Ok - stream of consciousness here: eg: One is JUR - they're doing infrastructure/ tooling for network states and societies. Very early stage, but just starting to make build moves after being in conceptualisation and pre-build for a quite a while. They've just recently moved their token over (from Vechain) to mainnet on Polkadot / substrate. Tim Draper has invested in them (which is a good sign). KILT is another on Polkadot. To do with verified identity etc. They got picked up for use by Deloitte in Switzerland a few months back. Elsewhere, and a bit larger, I've picked up a little bit of IMX, because I wanted exposure to [gaming] and they basically do web3 infrastructure for gaming studios. I like the fact that they've teamed with Polygon (who frankly have good marketing/ BD smarts) as announced earlier this year. Unfortunately I can also see that IMX maybe doesn't have great tokenomics, which tempers things a bit. I'm toying with the idea of picking up some Metal Blockchain ('METAL' is part of Metallicus' suite of tokens) - they're effectively getting in with banking compliant blockchain and payments processing in the US. Founders have backgrounds eg with Stellar and Dogecoin Foundations. Metallicus is, as I understand it, in the process of buying a bank. On this one, I'm not sure if I love the project, but I suspect it will potentially get some growth, particularly on the back of news as the US starts to build Blockchain into banking systems and as regulatory aspects get more concrete. So I guess I'm still looking at that one (Outside of that, and this one is absolute pure yolo / and doesn't fit with anything I said above at all: I got some more HarryPotterObamaSonic10inu a while back just for the lol, and some more as it shook out alongside the pepe meme scare. HPOS10i has done pretty well tbh, but anyone buying needs to appreciate that it is peak shitcoin end game. Contract is clean afaik, and frankly they seem to run a pretty smart operation. I wouldn't be surprised if it runs up further. It actually flipped Floki momentarily the other week.) (And yes, inb4 the predictable replies: my main holdings are actually in BTC, ETH etc.)
Which prompts/reminds me - Metallicus (parent org re METAl chain and related as mentioned in the other comment) has a bit of that (they're US based and focused), and apparently also in the process of aquiring a bank. Investor report here https://twitter.com/WeAreMetallicus/status/1694008521665180143?t=qjmu-f11Ad80godHZcBv-Q&s=19 Bank acquisition mentioned here https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230222005944/en/Metallicus-Executives-Announce-Formation-of-FBBT-Holdings-To-Deliver-Banking-And-Financial-Services-to-Tech-Industry-and-Investors I'm still early in the process in terms of digging out detail in relation to METAL etc. I haven't formed a solid view on it all yet.
I don't have a list, but you could check out eg: QNT - doing stuff with BIS, BoE, a bunch of others LINK - working in with SWIFT etc METAL - US, KYC'd chain. Doing banking related stuff.

So I guess I'm still looking at that one As to how - I try to dig out as much info as I can, and try to be as critical as possible of it all. There's a bit of a thematic filter too: I probably am mostly interested in things that fit with a few narrative themes: interoperability / privacy / identity / tooling & infrastructure. Hence have picked up eg QNT, LINK, GRT, etc in the past because of fit with those themes. Also, with the new ones, I drip feed into them, even though I'm not putting large amounts in: (a) they can be volatile, and (b) who knows where the market goes over the next few months. All that said, there is a yolo element to it all of it as well - and there are commonalities with eg angel investing into early stage tech startups; a lot of things have to go right in order for them to get anywhere...

Instructions unclear: Bought 1 trillion $METAL on binance chain
You can get it on their Proton DEX**:** [https://protondex.com/dex/METAL\_XMD](https://protondex.com/dex/METAL_XMD) Or with MetalPay: [https://www.metalpay.com/](https://www.metalpay.com/)
Wonder what the SEC is going to think about METAL. Interestingly it’s listed on both MEXC global and Gate.io — the two exchanges that list Moons.
[$METAL](https://metalblockchain.org) (Speaking from the future)
Crypto Apocalypse is a fucking METAL band name
[I read he put all of his "earnings" into METAL](https://venturebeat.com/commerce/the-teenager-who-made-millions-on-bitcoin-is-staking-it-all-on-this-obscure-token/) Wonder how that's worked out for him.
Take a look at XPR (Proton) and METAL (Metal Blockchain)
Get a trezor. Generate a seed. Stamp in metal. Use the seed like your bitcoin account name and create a 25th word in a password manager like lastpass. Use the new 25th word based private key for storing your funds. NEVER STORE THE METAL KEYWORDS AND THE 25TH WORD IN THE SAME PLACE. That's it. You can have backups of both. Just never together. Never stored in a way where they could be put together. Anyone can see your metal keywords. Won't matter without the password (25th word). Someone else could see the 25th word. Wouldn't matter without the metal seed words. Store one physically and the other virtually. You're good to go.
Crypto is to replace gold. Death crypto is to replace death metal. DEATH METAL IS NOT DEAD!
A lesser known guy - Marshall Hayner. Whenever he runs out of money, he creates a new token and sells them to naive users. So far he created 3 tokens and dumped them on gullible investors. MTL, XPR, METAL
Proton (XPR) along with Metal (METAL) are currently working towards KYC and Regulation since last year and i think they are going in the right direction
It’s looking really appealing to convert MTL to METAL if you are in an applicable country. It does look like METAL price is quite inflated right now due to the one sided buying with a small amount in circulation. I’ll probably wait until the conversion event is over. Lite paper for those interested: https://metalblockchain.org/litepaper-v0.01.pdf I think it’s still interesting just might not be a good time to jump in.
In the farms? You can buy $METAL on ProtonSwap and add XPR/METAL to Liquidity Pools then go to Farms and update stake.
Proton XPR is a solid project, same team also just announced METAL a new layer 0 Blockchain
1 AM Alpha: New L0 coming in 90 days metalblockchain.org $METAL IYKYK

The crypto market needs a stabilizer and I suggest SILVER PRECIOUS METAL....IF ONE COMPANY DID THIS NOT ONLY COULD THEY GET A 1500% GAIN BUT BRING IN THE REAL STABLE COIN...
