LeverUp × Nad.fun: The Flywheel Explained | LeverUp Podcast

LeverUp and Nad.fun have announced a two-part integration that connects perpetuals trading infrastructure with Monad's memecoin launchpad. The first integration makes LVMON a pair token on Nad.fun V2 bonding curve launches — so new tokens on Nad.fun can launch paired against LVMON rather than MON alone. The second integration makes graduated Nad.fun tokens candidates for LeverUp's AnyCollateral Program, meaning those tokens can be used as collateral to open perpetual positions on LeverUp.The flywheel runs like this: LVMON activity on Nad.fun expands the LeverUp vault → a larger vault supports more open interest and generates more protocol revenue → that revenue funds the AnyCollateral Program → AnyCollateral rewards draw users back to holding and using Nad.fun tokens as collateral → which drives more demand for LVMON → and the loop continues. Each step reinforces the next, but only if adoption is real. Nothing here is automatic.Who benefits: LVMON stakers see a yield base tied to ecosystem-wide activity rather than just direct trading volume. LV holders benefit from buybacks funded by growing fee revenue. Nad.fun launchers get real DeFi utility from block one — their token has a use case before it graduates. Nad.fun token holders gain a third state for their holdings: collateral that earns protocol revenue. Perp traders get a broader menu of collateral options. This episode walks through both integrations, how the flywheel actually works, and what has to happen for it to keep spinning.Figures mentioned reflect data at time of recording — check app.leverup.xyz for current rates and metrics.Links:- Trade on LeverUp: https://app.leverup.xyz- Full article: https://blog.leverup.xyz/leverup-nadfun-flywheel/
