November has been a transformative month for the Cod3x ecosystem, filled with innovation, growth, and community-driven achievements. From exciting developments in AI and expanded incentive programs to the resurgence of our Zealy campaigns and impactful integrations, Cod3x continues to push the boundaries of decentralized finance. This newsletter captures the highlights, updates, and moments that made November a month to remember, showcasing the dedication of our team and community in building a brighter future for DeFi.
Cod3x
This month, the Cod3x Club continued to deliver thought-provoking discussions on DeFi trends and market dynamics. Packed with insights and a dash of fun, these episodes were a highlight for the community. If you missed any of them, you can catch up here:
- Will the Election Shape DeFi?
- The Trump Effect: How Long Will It Last?
- Base Memecoins are Disrupting Ethereum
- Millions, Memecoins, and Murder?
The points program also took a leap forward with the introduction of a new Discord invite challenge. This addition rewarded top inviters weekly with up to 3,000 points, tracked through personalized links and leaderboards. This initiative not only grew the community but also ensured that new members were genuine contributors, as points were adjusted if invitees left within 24 hours.
On the adoption front, Cod3x celebrated the whitelisting of cdxUSD and MF on Equalizer Exchange. This development underscores growing confidence in our ecosystem and offers users new yield opportunities. We’re thankful to the Equalizer team for their support and early adoption of our assets.
Cod3x’s advancements in AI were also in the spotlight. **Big Tony**, the most advanced AI agent in the space, officially went live this month. After adjustments to the limit order system, Big Tony is now actively trading, showcasing Cod3x’s pioneering edge in AI-driven DeFi. Stay updated on Tony’s trades by following Big Tony on X.

Ironclad
Transparency and sustainability were central to Ironclad’s initiatives this month. The team addressed circulating supply questions by burning excess tokens to align with the emissions schedule. As a result, only 10.5M ICL remain in the market, with additional tokens held in multisigs to be released strategically over time. This careful management ensures steady growth without overloading the market. With Mode Season 3 on the horizon and Base expansion underway, the future looks promising.
Incentives also took center stage, with $OP rewards going live for ICL staking, ETH lending, and liquidity provision on the iUSD-USDC pool. The updated system, now available on Merkl, includes custom solutions for staking maturity and transparent claims management. Those with unclaimed rewards from the previous epoch can finalize their claims via Fuul.
With the MODE token hugely outperforming, Ironclad now occupies an extremely advantageous position as a result of the network alignment that was cultivated in the early stages of growth. Some bullish metrics:
- Treasury value above $1M thanks to the early $MODE accumulation
- Both ICL and iUSD liquidity sitting comfortably above $1M
- Ironclad total market size back above $10M
- Over $500k iUSD minted
- iUSD/USDC on Velodrome is now the largest stable pool on the entire network
Aurelius
November marked the return of Zealy campaigns for Aurelius, kicking off with Mantle’s DeFi Fest. The first round rewarded participants with 1.5k $MNT and 250k oAU, reigniting the community’s enthusiasm for questing. Building on this success, a second campaign was launched with an impressive 20,000 $MNT and 250k oAU up for grabs. Participants can climb the leaderboard, earn rewards, and showcase the Cod3x community’s strength. Join the campaign here.
Aurelius also achieved a significant milestone with the integration of $aUSD on Merchant Moe. The $aUSD-$USDT pool is now live, becoming a fountain of yield and enabling seamless swaps and reinforcing Aurelius’ position in Mantle’s stablecoin ecosystem.
Lore
Lore returned to full form this month with the reintroduction of yields on loreUSD-USDC pools, supported by Beefy on Scroll. This integration provides users with a reliable way to maximize returns. Check out the pool on Beefy Vault and take advantage of this opportunity.
On the technical side, the oLore contract was paused to address emission concerns. The team is deploying a new contract with reduced emissions and $SCR incentives to support growth. These adjustments highlight Lore’s commitment to sustainability and long-term value creation.
