Market attention often returns to familiar assets when readers look for current crypto ideas. POL (Polygon) and SHIB (Shiba Inu) are still frequently discussed in the context of their 2021 performance. Separately, a meme-themed project called Layer Brett says it has raised more than $3.8 million in an ongoing token sale and advertises a staking program (including a stated ā670%+ APYā) and a token price of $0.0058; these figures are project-reported and may change.
Why POL and SHIB are still compared with their 2021 peak
Recent market commentary continues to reference how far POL and SHIB trade from 2021-era highs. Some analysts have also pointed to low realized volatility in SHIB and weakness in the SHIB-DOGE pair relative to late-2021 levels.
In addition, reports have described a flash-loan-related exploit affecting Shibarium and BONE-related activity, with figures around $2.4 million cited in some coverage. Such reports can be incomplete, and readers should consult primary sources and incident post-mortems where available.
POL has also faced a difficult backdrop in a market where many established tokens have struggled to regain earlier momentum. Development updates and ecosystem growth do not necessarily translate into price performance, and market risk remains high across digital assets.
At the same time, some market participants are also monitoring newer, higher-risk projects, including meme-branded initiatives that claim Layer 2 functionality.
Layer Brett: project claims around Layer 2 and community features
Layer Brett describes itself as an Ethereum Layer 2 project with a meme-token brand. In project materials, it claims faster transactions and lower fees than mainnet, alongside optional staking features. These claims have not been independently verified in this article.
The Layer Brett roadmap referenced by the team includes additional product and community features (such as NFTs and gamified rewards). Roadmaps are subject to change, and delivery timelines can shift based on technical, regulatory, and market conditions.
The project is currently running a token sale and has promoted staking incentives and community growth efforts, according to its own communications. Readers should treat early-stage token offerings and advertised yield figures as high risk and non-guaranteed.
How to interpret narratives about newer tokens versus legacy assets
Some social-media commentary frames interest as moving from older, widely traded tokens to newer offerings. However, newer tokens typically come with less liquidity, less operating history, and higher uncertainty, and there is no assurance that advertised staking yields or token-sale fundraising levels will persist.
Layer Brett has also promoted marketing incentives, including a stated $1 million giveaway, according to project materials. Promotional campaigns are not a substitute for risk disclosures, product delivery, or independent evaluation.
