Powerledger integrates with Solana mainnet ecosystem

Powerledger completes integration with Solana, accelerating the pace of innovation in sustainability

Zug, Switzerland, October 13th, 2024, Chainwire

Powerledger (POWR) has officially completed its integration with the Solana ecosystem, accelerating the pace of innovation in the global sustainability markets. This move combines Solana’s cutting-edge blockchain technology with Powerledger’s proven energy and environmental commodities trading and energy tracking solutions, setting the stage for faster, more efficient, and cost-effective clean energy solutions worldwide.

On October 1, 2024, Powerledger began the deprecation of its own blockchain, marking a transition for the POWR token across both Ethereum and Solana. This dual-chain approach unlocks potential for the tokenisation, trading, and tracking of renewable energy assets, including excess clean energy, renewable energy certificates (RECs) and carbon credits (CCs), while driving global environmental accountability. Powerledger’s proprietary energy solutions are now transitioned to Solana mainnet. 

“With our new Solana POWR token, we’re excited to leverage Solana’s network, this allows for lower fees and faster processing, aligning with our vision to make clean energy more efficient and accessible for all,” said John Bulich, Co-founder & Director, Powerledger. 

Solana POWR: Speed, efficiency, and sustainability in action.

This integration enables Powerledger’s platform to scale faster, support high-volume energy and environmental commodities transactions, and contribute to a more efficient and decentralised energy future for global sustainability efforts. This integration with Solana mainnet offers, 

POWR token availability: The POWR token is now available on both Ethereum and Solana, with no changes to the total token supply. Token swap mechanism ensures that for every POWR token minted on Solana, an equivalent amount is locked on Ethereum, preserving the integrity of the tokenomics and preventing inflation.  Enhanced flexibility and interoperability: The dual-chain approach ensures that POWR remains accessible to users who prefer Ethereum, while also leveraging Solana’s powerful infrastructure and vibrant community to drive new sustainability solutions and collaboration. POWR as a payment token: POWR will continue to serve as a payment token for platform services across both Ethereum and Solana, incentivising green behaviours such as offsetting carbon emissions and reducing energy consumption. Powerledger also completed the integration of its own energy platform with Solana, leveraging Solana’s latest tools and technology.  Powerledger (POWR) is set to play a pivotal role in enabling the tokenisation and trading of renewable energy assets, helping businesses meet their sustainability goals while making energy markets more transparent and accessible for all.

Bonfida aims to fill the gap among the growing user base actively trading on Serum, Solana, and Serum DEX by providing a complete product suite. As the flagship platform, Serum GUI transforms Bonfida into a one-stop solution to emulate leading players in the Ethereum DeFi ecosystem, introducing the first Solana data analytics to the ecosystem.

Bonfida is an ecosystem built on Solana, comprising various products including perpetual swaps. The FIDA token is the native token of the Bonfida platform, adding value to all products and fees. FIDA is also used for fee discounts, staking rewards, and governance.

In addition, Bonfida offers its users the following products:

Name service: A decentralized naming service built on SolanaPerpetual: The first perpetual swaps on SolanaToken rights: The first SPL token vesting contract to be auditedBots: Developing trading strategies on Serum with native TradingView integrationPurchase and burn: Decentralized purchasing and burning operationsOn the other hand, Bonfida was the first project in the Serum ecosystem. It initially provided API services and has hosted the flagship Serum DEX since its launch in September 2020.

With Bonfida initially offering Serum UI and API services, there is said to be a demand for products that enhance the user experience in the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) area. The intense demand for products reportedly encouraged the launch of the ‘FIDA’ token on December 22, 2020.

Raydium, Solana Blockchain üzerinde çalışan, Serum DEX ile entegre bir otomatik piyasa yapıcıdır (AMM). Kullanıcılar, likidite havuzlarına varlık sağlayarak RAY coin kazanır ve bu tokenleri stake ederek ek ödüller elde edebilir. Raydium ayrıca AcceleRaytor platformu ile yeni projelerin Solana ekosisteminde sermaye toplamasını destekler. Bu yazımızda Raydium (RAY) nedir, TRY ile Raydium (RAY) nasıl alınır olmak üzere iki merak edilen sorunun yanıtını bulabilirsiniz.

Raydium (RAY) Nedir?Raydium, Solana Blockchain üzerine inşa edilmiş, otomatik bir piyasa yapıcı (AMM) olarak işlev gören merkeziyetsiz finans (DeFi) protokolüdür. Likidite havuzlarını merkeziyetsiz borsa (DEX) Serum ile entegre ederek dijital varlıkların alım satımını geliştirir. Bu entegrasyon, Raydium’un AMM’lerin esnekliğini geleneksel emir defteri mekanizmalarının güvenilirliği ile birleştirerek hızlı, likit ve düşük ücretli ticaret yapmasını sağlar.

Bir AMM olarak Raydium, likidite havuzları aracılığıyla dijital varlıkların izinsiz ticaretini kolaylaştırır. Bu havuzlar, varlıklarını akıllı sözleşmelere kilitleyen ve daha sonra DEX’te işlem çiftleri olarak hizmet veren likidite sağlayıcıları tarafından finanse edilmektedir. Likidite sağlamanın karşılığında kullanıcılar, Raydium’un yardımcı jetonu olan RAY cinsinden ödüller alır ve bu ödüller de ek ödüller kazanmak için stake edilebilir.

Borsalar gibi geleneksel borsalar, alış ve satış emirlerini eşleştirmek için merkezi bir emir defteri kullanır. Raydium tarafından desteklenen DEX olan Serum, bu süreci yönetmek için akıllı sözleşmeler kullanır. Emir defterinin bir tarafında, piyasa katılımcılarının satın almak istediği varlıkların miktarını ve fiyatını gösteren alım emirleri bulunur. Diğer tarafta ise satılık varlıkların miktarını ve fiyatını detaylandıran satış emirleri yer alır.

Raydium, işlemleri kolaylaştırmak için emir defteri yerine likidite havuzlarını kullanır. Likidite sağlayıcıları tarafından tedarik edilen bu havuzlar, alım ve satım emirleri için karşı taraf olarak hareket ederek merkezi olmayan ticareti mümkün kılar. Bu yöntem Ethereum üzerinde Uniswap gibi platformlar tarafından popüler hale getirilmiştir. Raydium, Ethereum tabanlı AMM’lere kıyasla daha düşük ücretleri, daha hızlı uygulama süreleri ve gelişmiş likidite yönetimi için Solana’yı seçti.

Raydium’un Serum’un emir defteri ile entegrasyonu, hem likidite havuzlarından hem de emir defterlerinden yararlanan hibrit bir ticaret modeli sağlar. Kullanıcılar Raydium’un likidite havuzlarına katkıda bulunduğunda, tokenler Serum’un emir defterinde limit emirlerine dönüştürülerek alım satım için kullanılabilir hale getirilir. Raydium, AMM ve Serum’un emir defteri arasındaki fiyatları karşılaştırarak uygun maliyetli işlemler sağlar.

Raydium, temel ticaret işlevlerinin ötesinde, likidite sağlayıcılarının LP tokenlerinden ekstra getiri elde etmelerine olanak tanıyan çift ödüllü çiftçilik gibi ek özellikler sunar. Kullanıcılar ayrıca işlem ücretlerinden ödül kazanmak için RAY coin stake edebilir. Ayrıca Raydium, yeni projelerin sermaye artırmasına ve Solana ekosistemi içinde büyümesine yardımcı olacak bir launchpad olan AcceleRaytor’u tanıttı.

Tried automating crypto trades with Grok 3? Here’s what happens

Trendspotting in crypto: How to discover winning projects before the crowd

PANews reported on October 8th that, according to Blockworks, the Solana Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) project, Grass, is raising $10 million in a bridge financing round. This follows the project's previous seed and Series A funding rounds. Andrej Radonjic of Grass revealed to Blockworks that Polychain and Tribe Capital participated in this bridge round, which primarily involved token purchases. The Grass team is reportedly looking to prepare for the transition from training computation cycles to inference, with the ultimate goal of achieving "internet-scale web crawler" operations, which will enable them to build real-time contextual retrieval capabilities.

A recent MEXC Q3 report highlighted the strong performance of the crypto market during the last quarter, which saw active traders surge as the total crypto market capitalization climbed to the $4 trillion mark.

Spot Market Sees Strong Q3 Performance On Wednesday, crypto exchange MEXC published its Q3 2025 Ecosystem & Growth Report, highlighting sustained expansion, robust user activity, and security from the previous quarter.

According to the report, the exchange experienced strong activity and trading momentum during the market run between July and September, with over 680 new tokens added to the crypto exchange in Q3, representing a 17% increase from Q2.

Moreover, the number of active users trading new listings in the exchange increased 16%, while the trading volume for these tokens surged 97%. The report also noted that the spot market had a “particularly robust” performance last quarter, with the top 10 highest-volume tokens recording an average peak gain of 2,933%, a 158% jump from Q2.

Notably, memecoins, AI + Web3, Perpetual Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs), and stablecoin protocols were among the dominant narratives, with tokens like STBL, Chainbase (C), and DeAgentAI (AIA) showing remarkable 500% to 12,00% performances.

Meanwhile, the BSC ecosystem outperformed all other ecosystems, taking six of the top 10 tokens by growth in the crypto exchange. The report detailed that BSC projects produced an average return of over 9,000%, including TALE, BAS, and MEAL.

It’s worth noting that the BSC outperformed other networks in DEX activity earlier this month, with data showing that it recently ranked first across all chains, surpassing Ethereum and Solana on DEX daily trading and chain fees. Additionally, BSC reached a new all-time high (ATH) of 5.02 trillion gas used in a single day two weeks ago.

MEXC also highlighted that BSC’s strength was matched by the Ethereum and Base ecosystems, which recorded strong performance with GAIA, ERA, and Avantis (AVNT), “representing the growing cross-chain vitality of Layer-2 and DeFi derivative protocols.”

Crypto Losses Trend Slows Down The report revealed that the crypto exchange intercepted 48 fraud cases last quarter, freezing nearly $5 million in illicit funds. As part of its efforts to prevent fraud, it also restricted more than 19,000 suspicious accounts, including 17,000 collusive accounts and over 2,000 bot-trading accounts.

Notably, a concerning trend that has been developing this year, which could drive theft from digital asset services to a new milestone by the end of 2025.

According to Chainalysis, crypto theft this year has been “more devastating” than the entirety of 2024, with over $2.7 billion worth of funds stolen from crypto services in the first half of 2025.

As reported by NewsBTC, hacks significantly increase at the start of Q3, driving over $100 million in losses for exchanges. Q2 showed a diminishing trend in total crypto losses, with May and June recording 40% and 56% month-on-month (MoM) declines, respectively.

This trend briefly shifted in July as the total value of stolen funds surged 27.2% from the previous month. Nonetheless, recent reports show that total funds lost to crypto hacks and exploits dropped around 37% in Q3, despite the market rally and initial trend.

Crypto Traders Are Buying These 3 Low-Cap Perp DEX Tokens In Early October

7 Underrated Bear Market Signs That Smart Traders Catch Early

A new report from Taraxa claims that many leading blockchain projects have dramatically overestimated their throughput. The study shows that major blockchain networks like Sonic, Solana, and Aptos have a significant gap between theoretical TPS (transaction per second) and the actual max TPS on the mainnet.

The findings suggest a massive overestimation of network efficiency and speed for these networks.

Most Blockchains Overestimate EfficiencyTaraxa, a Layer-1 blockchain, conducted an extensive analysis of several leading blockchains. It’s evident that most networks publicize new advances in their blockchain’s throughput, but many of these tests are conducted in ideal conditions. This study wished to observe how the most ‘bullish’ claims compare to regular operating conditions.

“Investors, developers, and users deserve transparency. The blockchain industry has long been obsessed with theoretical performance figures, but numbers generated in a lab mean little if they can’t be replicated in real-world conditions,” Taraxa co-founder Steven Pu said in an exclusive press release shared with BeInCrypto.

This investigation sought to assess these real-world conditions through a metric called “TPS per dollar.” Taraxa compared a blockchain’s transactions per second to the actual cost of running a validator node and used that to determine actual throughput.

This would be a more accurate way to determine how well these firms can live up to expectations.

Case in point, the study looked at the highest-ever recorded throughput on several blockchain projects, with a few important caveats. Permissioned and sharded networks were excluded, and some specific transactions (like voting transactions) were discarded to avoid number inflation.

Then, these figures were compared to developer-provided TPS claims:

Blockchain Projects Overestimate Throughput. Source: TaraxaThe results of this test revealed extremely high exaggeration. Sonic (formerly Fantom) reported blockchain throughput over 100x its actual capabilities, but the industry average was 20x. The L1 blockchain space is full of fierce competition, providing a clear incentive for this systematic inflation.

“Our research also shows that many networks require expensive hardware just to achieve modest transaction rates, which is neither technically impressive nor decentralized. By focusing on verifiable data from live networks, we can shift the conversation toward meaningful performance metrics,” Pu added.

Comparing TPS to dollar costs also provided interesting data. Solana had the highest costs by far, but it used these resources efficiently to maintain a high blockchain throughput. Taraxa also claimed that it had the best ratio in the entire industry by wide margins, which may impact its reasons for conducting the study and using this metric.

Regardless of the firm’s desire to market its own capabilities, blockchain throughput estimations seem heavily inflated across the whole industry. Taraxa has been analyzing several crucial Web3 sectors, such as the AI industry, and its results seem valuable.

Hopefully, some hard data here will encourage more realistic reporting from these projects.

Analyst comments continue to hold significant importance in the world of cryptocurrencies. One closely followed analyst, Inmortal, has indicated that this year could see significant price rallies for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and an altcoin.

Inmortal shared a post on X to make important announcements. In his statement to thousands of followers, he mentioned that API3, a decentralized data oracle network aiming to integrate traditional APIs into blockchain applications, is ready to rise after a long consolidation period.

Inmortal discussed the recent strategic funding round led by DWF Labs, one of the world’s leading investment firms, and the bullish outlook on the altcoin’s chart.

API3 is about to rise. API3 successfully completed a strategic funding round by allocating treasury assets worth four million USDC. What about the chart? Nothing more to add, just hyper bullish.

Accumulation for over 600 days.Clean retest of the Acc region.Send it.

According to the trader’s comment, the Ethereum-based altcoin API3 could reach $6. As of the time of writing, API3 is trading at 3.20 after a 3.97% drop in the last 24 hours.

API3’s market cap remains at 276 million dollars following the recent drop, while its 24-hour trading volume exceeded 48 million dollars after a 64% increase.

Inmortal also looked at leading cryptocurrencies BTC, ETH, and SOL, indicating a strong outlook for the rest of the year. The analyst noted that the coming months will likely be stagnant for cryptocurrencies, but a fully developed “parabolic uptrend” could form by the fourth quarter.

Boring June-July (some traps on both sides)Uptrend continued in August.Parabolic trend throughout Q4.BTC surpasses $100,000, ETH over $10,000, SOL above $500. Altcoins will multiply x2-x5. Charts never lie.

As of the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $69,100, while Ethereum continues to trade around $3,772. Following recent BTC and ETH ETF news, SOL is thought to be trading at $166.

Bitgert Coin’s Surge: Why Dogwifhat, Boba Network, and Arbdoge Enthusiasts Are Jumping Aboard

What happens when meme culture collides with serious money? Dogwifhat (WIF) recently grabbed headlines after the original pink beanie from its viral meme sold for a staggering $800,000, while Baby Doge Coin (BABYDOGE) slipped into a multi-week decline that left holders watching their bags shrink. Meanwhile, the Solana Price (SOL Price) has surged over 36% in a month, driven by massive institutional inflows and an upgrade that boosts transaction speed to near-instant finality.

But nothing compares to the frenzy building around Arctic Pablo Coin (APC). The project has entered Stage 39 (Shiver Me Bags), unlocking a limited-time 300% bonus code BAGS300 that quadruples tokens bought at just $0.00099. With more than $3.79 million already raised, ROI projections are turning heads—708.08% to the listing price of $0.008, and a jaw-dropping 10,001.01% if analysts’ $0.1 target holds true. CEX Coinstore confirmed APC’s listing on its X account, with the official launch coming at the end of the presale on PancakeSwap and Coinstore. This article will cover the latest on the best crypto coin with 100x potential: Arctic Pablo Coin, Dogwifhat, Baby Doge Coin, and Solana Price momentum.

Arctic Pablo Coin: Best Crypto Coin with 100x Potential Fueled by Staking, Token Burns, and Whales Table of Contents

Arctic Pablo Coin: Best Crypto Coin with 100x Potential Fueled by Staking, Token Burns, and Whales300% Bonus Frenzy: Arctic Pablo Presale at Stage 39 Unlocks Massive ROIDogwifhat (WIF): Meme Culture’s $800K Beanie and Market ConsolidationBaby Doge Coin (BABYDOGE): Declines Continue as Supply Remains HeavySolana Price Momentum: Institutional Inflows and $208 Resistance ZoneConclusion: Arctic Pablo’s Presale vs WIF, BABYDOGE, and Solana Price MomentumFrequently Asked Questions for the Best Crypto Coin with 100x PotentialHow to find a meme coin presale?What is the best crypto presale to invest in 2025?Which meme coin will explode in 2025?How does Solana Price momentum affect meme coin investments?What ROI can Arctic Pablo Coin investors expect? Can a meme coin double as a mystical adventure while also paying serious dividends? Arctic Pablo Coin (APC) proves it can. The project blends storytelling with powerful tokenomics, wrapping its community in the saga of Arctic Pablo, an explorer racing across icy terrains to unearth magical APC tokens. Beyond the narrative, APC packs real features—66% APY staking, referral incentives, and USD-reward community competitions.

The presale system itself is meticulously crafted. Each week closes with token burns of unsold supply, permanently shrinking circulation and driving value higher. With a capped maximum supply of 221.2 billion APC, scarcity is built in. Staking rewards, ecosystem development, and community incentives ensure that the token doesn’t just survive—it thrives. This framework is what positions APC as the best crypto coin with 100x potential, offering security through transparency while keeping growth incentives alive.

Arctic Pablo Coin has done more than raise millions; it has captured hearts. Investors see APC as more than numbers—it’s a movement that merges mythology, adventure, and wealth creation. In fact, by participating in this meme coin presale, investors insulate themselves from volatile market swings like those impacting Baby Doge and Dogwifhat. The APC presale is where whales and early movers find safety, growth, and unmatched ROI opportunities.

300% Bonus Frenzy: Arctic Pablo Presale at Stage 39 Unlocks Massive ROI The fire’s burning hottest right now in Stage 39 of this meme coin presale, dubbed Shiver Me Bags, where investors are handed a once-in-a-lifetime 300% bonus with the BAGS300 code. That means every token purchased is instantly quadrupled. At the current presale price of $0.00099, a $4,000 investment buys roughly 4,040,404 APC tokens, but with the bonus, it balloons to 16,161,616 tokens. At launch, when APC lists at $0.008, that same bag would be worth $129,292—a 3132% ROI. If APC hits analysts’ $0.1 target, the position explodes into over $1.6 million.

Stage 39 has already seen $3.79 million raised, proving whales are circling. The presale journey has already rewarded the earliest joiners with a 6,500% ROI, and those entering now still face an incredible 708.08% upside to listing and 10,001.01% to analyst projections. Unlike many projects, APC doesn’t leave investors wondering about liquidity or exchange readiness—Coinstore’s official X announcement secures APC’s future on both PancakeSwap (DEX) and Coinstore (CEX).

This isn’t just another meme coin presale; it’s a rare moment where narrative, community, and deflationary economics collide, creating urgency for investors to move before Stage 39 closes.

Dogwifhat (WIF): Meme Culture’s $800K Beanie and Market Consolidation Dogwifhat (WIF) still dominates cultural headlines after the original pink beanie from the meme auctioned for around $800,000 to a meme-coin launchpad founder. But on the charts, WIF is consolidating. Price currently sits near $0.80, with whales showing interest at the $0.76 support level.

Futures open interest remains high, yet volume softens, suggesting consolidation unless new momentum kicks in. WIF may challenge resistance around $1.20, but for now, its biggest strength is in cultural endurance and community buzz, rather than immediate explosive growth.

Baby Doge Coin (BABYDOGE): Declines Continue as Supply Remains Heavy Baby Doge Coin (BABYDOGE) trades around $0.00000000116, slipping 1–3% over the past 24 hours and 5–6% over the past week. Its vast circulating supply of around 168 quadrillion tokens weighs heavily on price movement, even as token burns attempt to create scarcity.

With a market cap between $190 million and $300 million, Baby Doge remains an active community project, known for charity initiatives and ecosystem expansions like NFTs and DeFi utilities. Still, compared to APC’s roaring presale momentum, Baby Doge finds itself lagging in investor attention.

Solana Price Momentum: Institutional Inflows and $208 Resistance Zone Solana Price (SOL Price) recently surged ~36% from early August’s $155 level to around $208, powered by record institutional flows and speculative demand. The first U.S. Solana staking ETF now holds over $219 million in assets, while futures open interest has hit $13.7 billion. The Alpenglow upgrade improved transaction finality to just 150 milliseconds, a technological leap that boosts network confidence.

Still, profit-taking signals are flashing. Hodlers’ net position change has turned negative, and Solana faces immediate resistance at $212–$220. A breakout could push toward $235–$250, with long-term patterns suggesting even loftier potential, but cautious traders are eyeing support at $200–$204 if consolidation takes over.

Most decentralized perpetuals protocols compete on fee basis points and trading volume. GMTrade is betting on something larger: a single venue where traders can move between crypto, FX, commodities, indices, and eventually equities without ever touching an order book. The project’s co-founder William laid out that roadmap in a recent podcast, framing the endgame as an on-chain version of Robinhood — built on Solana, powered by pooled liquidity and Chainlink’s low-latency data feeds.

The protocol launched close to 90 markets already, including WTI crude oil, gold, silver, and palladium. That kind of asset expansion is not typical for a perp platform that began as a GMX fork. The team broke away from the fork label after realizing the product complexity and community scale demanded independence. Now GMTrade runs its own liquidity pool, fee structure, and points system on Solana, targeting both retail and institutional traders who want exposure beyond crypto.

Why Pooled Liquidity Beats the Order Book — for This Use Case The design choice matters because it changes how markets can scale. Order book exchanges need deep bids and asks from day one. That requirement makes launching new asset markets expensive, slow, and dependent on market makers who expect subsidies. GMTrade sidesteps that entirely. Its pooled liquidity model lets the protocol spin up a gold or FX market without convincing a market maker to quote tight spreads first.

Fee compression follows naturally. The team quotes a 0.5 basis point trading fee, roughly five to nine times cheaper than leading Solana order book competitors that typically charge around 3 basis points. The difference is structural. Order book platforms carry the ongoing cost of subsidizing liquidity. The pooled model reduces that drag, which can translate into wider market coverage and lower costs for users over time. It also allows the team to prioritize open interest over raw volume as a metric of real economic engagement.

Oracle Infrastructure and the Risk-Reward Equation for LPs Under the hood, the protocol’s ability to price off-chain assets like FX or crude oil relies on Chainlink Data Streams. The low-latency feeds, deployed on Solana, made it feasible for GMTrade to list non-crypto instruments without exposing LPs to stale pricing. The partnership is not new; William noted the relationship began during his GMX days and influenced the decision to build on Solana once Chainlink committed to the new product.

For liquidity providers, the yield story is more nuanced than a standard lending pool. LP returns come from trading fees, borrowing fees, and liquidation fees, but the capital does not sit idle. It acts as counterparty to trader PnL. William acknowledged that LPs take on trading risk, though historically losing traders tend to outnumber profitable ones, creating a net positive fee flow. He also stressed that GMTrade emphasizes real yield over governance token incentives, a distinction he argued separates it from protocols that advertise eye-catching APRs that collapse once token emissions are stripped out.

Sophisticated LPs can hedge some of the trader PnL exposure. Others may simply accept the risk profile knowing the pool has operated similarly to GMX’s structure for several years. The absence of a lock-up period for the points incentive layer also gives users an exit ramp that traditional staking programs lack.

Points, Costs, and Weeding Out Wash Volume Points farming is an addiction the DeFi sector cannot quit, but GMTrade designed its system to make it expensive. GT points are not airdropped. Users earn them by paying fees — trading fees, borrowing fees, or simply holding positions. William compared the model to Bitcoin’s issuance curve: as the total points pool grows, the cost of earning new points rises, so early, sustained participation gets a better cost basis than late-stage, volume-spiking behavior.

The approach filters out some of the hollow farming that points campaigns often attract. Even if a user chases points, the fees they pay still generate protocol revenue. William claimed the platform has yet to see large-scale farming, and most activity still comes from genuine traders. That assessment matters for any future token generation event, because points would likely inform distribution. The mechanism rewards those who put real capital at risk rather than those who manufacture cheap volume.

From Commodities to Stocks: The On-Chain Robinhood Bet The move into real-world assets is not a side experiment. William pointed out that the FX market alone dwarfs crypto, offering a much larger pool of potential volume, open interest, and fee income. GMTrade already lists precious metals, energy, and index markets. In the medium term, the team plans to work with Chainlink to expand coverage further, with a long-term target of thousands of markets. Stocks are on the roadmap, though prediction markets — a winner-take-all category — look less attractive for now.

This push mirrors the broader tokenization trend that saw real-world assets cross $20 billion on-chain recently, driven by institutional settlement milestones and infrastructure buys. GMTrade’s angle is retail-first but shares the same thesis: moving traditional financial instruments on-chain unlocks liquidity and accessibility that legacy rails cannot match.

The mobile app adds another layer. William argued that perpetuals trading often starts on desktop for analysis but finishes on mobile for position management. A dedicated app targets users who spend their crypto hours on Telegram and Phantom, making it easier to check, close, or add to trades from a phone. The ambition is to match Robinhood’s mobile dominance with a decentralized backend that does not custody assets and charges a fraction of the fees.

Solana’s Role in the DEX Perps Race GMTrade’s bet on Solana is not just about speed and low fees. The network holds a large retail user base and growing institutional presence, as developer activity data often reflects. Ethereum and Solana regularly top blockchain developer activity rankings, signaling infrastructure momentum. A pooled perp protocol that lists gold and crude oil speaks as much to Solana’s evolving use cases as it does to GMTrade’s roadmap.

The unresolved question is demand. Open interest will reveal whether traders actually want to hold FX and commodity positions on a decentralized perp platform alongside their crypto exposures. The fee advantage is clear, but liquidity fragmentation across chains and execution reliability during volatility remain variables. Structured incentives can jump-start growth, but real retention depends on whether the execution quality holds up when a crude oil position moves sharply against a trader at 3 a.m.

William’s view is that traders care more about net profit than brand. If GMTrade can deliver tighter costs and credible asset coverage, some flow will migrate. That is the same logic that propelled Robinhood’s zero-commission model. But doing it on-chain, with pooled counterparty risk and decentralized oracles, is a far more complex engineering challenge. The protocol is still early in proving that the product can attract sustained position size, not just promotional volume.

In an era defined by digital innovation and financial transformation, cryptocurrency has become a familiar term in households worldwide. It's not just Bitcoin and Ethereum making headlines anymore. The spotlight now includes altcoins like Solana, Samoyedcoin ($SAMO), and wallet applications like Phantom, especially following their recent appearance on China Central Television (CCTV).

This likely unintended feature by China's leading state broadcaster was first found a user on Twitter after a post by Changpeng Zhao, widely known as CZ, the CEO of Binance. The impact of this exposure was immediate and dramatic, with a massive pump following for SAMO tokens, and the Samo NFTs.

Understanding the Key Players

For those uninitiated, Solana is a high-performance, layer-1 blockchain known for its speed and low transaction costs, rivaling networks like Ethereum. Its design allows it to scale as per the users' needs without affecting its performance, making it a popular choice for various DeFi applications and NFT projects.

Samoyedcoin, or SAMO as it's affectionately known, began its journey as a memecoin akin to Dogecoin but for the Solana network. However, the team has recently pivoted to become "an experimental Web 3.0 community coin". Leveraging innovative marketing strategies and various other tactics, Samoyedcoin's team focuses on educating and onboarding people into the Solana community, cultivating a loyal and active fanbase called the Samo Famo.

Phantom, on the other hand, is a wallet designed for the Solana network, providing a user-friendly interface for managing digital assets and interacting with decentralized applications (DApps).

A Win for Solana Ecosystem

The spotlight shone by CCTV on these aspects of the Solana ecosystem is a testament to its potential and growing acceptance in the global market, particularly within the Chinese demographic. The surge in prices and trading volumes indicate the extensive reach of the broadcast and the profound impact of mass media exposure on the crypto market dynamics.

Moreover, the fact that a memecoin like SAMO is gaining such traction indicates the evolving and unpredictable nature of the cryptocurrency world. Samoyedcoin's pivot towards becoming a significant player in the Web 3.0 landscape is emblematic of the potential of community-driven projects in the blockchain industry.

The surge of interest in Solana, SAMO, and Phantom signifies a broader acceptance and interest in the crypto space, particularly in blockchain platforms that offer scalability, speed, and low transaction fees. As the world continues to shift towards digital currencies and decentralized finance, we can expect many more under-the-radar projects to break into the mainstream, shifting the crypto landscape in unexpected ways.

This high-profile feature will likely encourage further exploration into the Solana ecosystem, with investors and developers alike keen to engage with its rapid, secure, and low-cost solutions. As we navigate through the digital age, this recent event is a striking reminder of the potent influence of mainstream media on market trends and the promising future that blockchain technology holds.

What Are Pre-IPO Tokens? How Tokenized Private Equity Works

The Ethereum network stands as a revolutionary innovation in the realm of blockchain technology. It serves as a robust platform for building and deploying decentralized applications (dApps), fueling the growth of decentralized finance (DeFi) and transforming the way we interact with financial services. However, with its widespread adoption and increasing popularity, Ethereum has faced challenges of scalability and high transaction fees, leading to the development of Layer 2 scaling solutions to enhance its capabilities.

The Ethereum blockchain hums with innovation, birthing a new breed of digital assets known as ERC-20 tokens. These versatile gems unlock a treasure trove of possibilities, from voting rights in decentralized communities to fueling innovative applications and even representing virtual currencies. 

ERC-20 tokens are standardized building blocks on the Ethereum network. They adhere to a specific set of rules, ensuring seamless interaction and divisibility, making them perfect for trading and diverse applications. Think of them as digital coins, each with its unique identity and purpose, ready to be exchanged, used, and explored.

Whether you’re a seasoned crypto trader or a curious newcomer, navigating the thrilling world of ERC-20 trading can be challenging. This comprehensive guide will equip you with the knowledge and tools to confidently buy, sell, and trade these digital assets on the Ethereum network. 

Some of the major and popular ERC-20 Tokens are Tether (USDT), Polygon (MATIC), Chainlink (LINK), Uniswap (UNI), Lido DAO (LIDO), Maker DAO (MKR), amongst many others. 

Features of Ethereum Network Ethereum’s innovative design sets it apart from other networks, paving the way for a decentralized future of finance, applications, and beyond. Distinguished by its unique features and capabilities, it stands as one of the pioneers of Blockchain Technologies with standout features like: 

The Power of Smart Contracts

The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) serves as the core engine that drives the execution of smart contracts on the Ethereum network. These smart contracts are self-executing code that automates various actions and agreements, forming the foundation of dApps and DeFi protocols. EVM compatibility is crucial for deploying and interacting with ERC-20 tokens, the most common token standard on Ethereum.

Unlike static databases, Ethereum boasts the groundbreaking ability to execute self-enforcing agreements through smart contracts. These programmable pieces of code automate a wide range of tasks, enabling trustless interactions and the creation of innovative applications in diverse sectors.

Layer 1 and Layer 2: Addressing Scalability

The Ethereum mainnet functions as a Layer 1 blockchain, the base layer where all transactions are ultimately settled. To address the scalability bottlenecks on this primary layer, Layer 2 solutions have emerged as a promising approach. These solutions aim to offload a significant portion of transaction processing off-chain, resulting in increased throughput, faster confirmation times, and significantly reduced transaction costs.

A Platform For Innovation

Ethereum isn’t just a cryptocurrency platform; it’s a fertile ground for developers to build revolutionary decentralized applications (dApps). From DeFi protocols automating financial transactions to NFTs unlocking new ownership models, the possibilities are endless.

Gas and Gas Fees: Fueling Transactions

Within the Ethereum network, gas refers to the computational power required to execute transactions and smart contracts. Users pay gas fees to compensate miners for processing their transactions. Gas fees are denominated in ETH, Ethereum’s native cryptocurrency.

Fueling Decentralized Finance (DeFi)

As a breeding ground for DeFi protocols, Ethereum empowers users to take control of their finances. Borrow, lend, invest, and trade without dependence on intermediaries, fostering a more open and inclusive financial system.

Ecosystem And Adoption

Unlike centralized projects, Ethereum thrives on a vibrant and passionate community. Developers, miners, and users participate in its governance and evolution, ensuring its development remains transparent and aligned with the community’s needs. This growing ecosystem includes decentralized exchanges (DEXs), gaming applications, and more. 

Exploring Layer 2 Scaling Solutions

Layer 2 scaling solutions offer a promising pathway to address the scalability challenges faced by the Ethereum mainnet. They operate as secondary layers built on top of the main blockchain, providing alternative mechanisms for transaction processing and data storage.

Here are some common types of Layer 2 solutions:

Sidechains: Independent blockchains that run in parallel with Ethereum, enabling faster and cheaper transactions. Plasma Chains: Blockchains that leverage Ethereum for security and finality, offering scalability benefits through data offloading. Optimistic Rollups: The technology employed by the Ethereum network for token transactions, which bundles multiple transactions off-chain and submits a summary to the mainnet for verification.

Dear SafePal Community,

Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of the SafePal Solana Builders Grant, a $3 million initiative designed to help Solana ecosystem projects and builders scale sustainably throughout 2026. 

Since 2021, SafePal has integrated the Solana network and supported the ecosystem by supporting and implementing important features for users. Recent and existing features include:

-A dedicated Solana DeFi hub in SafePal’s mobile and hardware wallets
-Native support to buy, swap, trade, and stake $SOL and SPL tokens
-Access to emerging verticals such as tokenized stocks and other trending on-chain assets

While user needs and security has always been a key priority for SafePal, long-term and meaningful Web3 growth also comes from empowering other builders with the right tools to better serve users. The success of pilot Walletdrop campaigns with DeFi protocols such as Jumper Exchange, 1inch, and Morpho have proven that growth strategies focused on ownership, security, and real users outperform hype-driven approaches, serving as a strong impetus for the creation of a larger scale initiative and launch of the grant.

The grant program will run across the full year of 2026 and consists of:

1. $2 million worth of SafePal hardware wallet sponsorships: a meaningful and effective growth mechanism: As the crypto industry matures, more innovative projects are emerging especially on high-activity ecosystems like Solana. However, teams still struggle with sustainable and relevant user growth.

Token airdrops are widely used, but they often create short-lived momentum, attract mercenary users and bots, and sometimes divert focus away from long-term product value and finding actual product market fit. 

Hardware Walletdrops offer a different path, offering stronger user retention, higher-quality engagement, and significantly less bot abuse.

2. $1 million in marketing and growth resources to help projects reach, onboard, and engage 30 million crypto native users While initiatives like InfoFi have emerged to offer channels for projects to build rich and engaging users, the accuracy, effectiveness and sustainability remain inconsistent. Projects and builders still need cost-efficient, high-impact growth tools that deliver meaningful and relevant results.

This section of the grant will offer resources to boost user retention and brand image, such as premium listings in the SafePal Dapp center and homepage, the opportunity to collaborate and create in-depth customized tasks to drive actual product usage and track conversions, filtering relevant users by whitelisting based on asset and behavior to combat bot farmers and more.

Solana ecosystem projects can apply for the grant via the official SafePal website here.

Applications will be evaluated based on criteria such as the length of time the project has been live, monthly active users (MAU), total value locked (TVL), community size and engagement, ecosystem contributions (e.g. hackathons, workshops, developer events), and more.

Commemorating the grant launch: Limited-Edition Solana x SafePal Hardware Wallets To commemorate the launch of the grant, SafePal has produced 1,500 limited-edition Solana branded hardware wallets. These wallets will be distributed during Solana Accelerate APAC to event attendees, VIPs and core contributors, and also via selected bounty and community programs thereafter.

SafePal will also be exploring future potential additional utilities for these wallets, including staking benefits and airdrop boosts for this exclusive collection and for wallets distributed through the grant program.

Looking ahead, SafePal will continue supporting the Solana ecosystem together with other blockchain ecosystems and crypto protocols as part of our roadmap to evolve into a comprehensive DeFi and CeFi hub while staying true to our mission of secure, user-first self-custody.

About SafePal: Founded in 2018, SafePal is a next generation non-custodial crypto wallet suite backed by Animoca Brands, Binance and Superscrypt.

The Solana Foundation just rolled out the velvet rope for institutional crypto trading. Its new program, Frontier Traders, is an invite-only community designed for hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, and market makers who want front-row access to Solana’s rapidly expanding tokenized equity market, starting with SpaceX.

The barrier to entry is, to put it mildly, steep. The first VIP tier requires between $500 million and $2 billion in trailing 30-day decentralized exchange volume, plus $16 million to $66 million in gross time-weighted open interest.

What Frontier Traders actually offers The program is structured around tiered access, with each level unlocking enhanced infrastructure, data feeds, and liquidity pathways tailored specifically for professional traders.

The centerpiece campaign right now is SpaceX tokenized equity, trading under the ticker $SPCX. The token is designed to provide continuous onchain trading exposure to SpaceX, with shares set to become redeemable when SpaceX eventually makes its public debut on Nasdaq.

Frontier Traders participants can earn rewards for engaging with $SPCX trading activities, creating an incentive loop that simultaneously drives volume and deepens liquidity for the tokenized product.

The timing is deliberate. SpaceX tokenized shares are planned to trade on Solana on the same day that SpaceX lists on Nasdaq, offering 24/7 trading opportunities that traditional markets simply cannot match.

Solana’s quiet dominance in tokenized equities Solana accounts for over 95% of DEX volume for tokenized equities over the last 30 days.

The groundwork for this dominance was laid through collaborations with firms like PreStocks and Backpack Securities, which have been facilitating pre-IPO onchain exposure for early-stage companies. These platforms turned Solana into the de facto home for tokenized equity trading, and the Frontier Traders program is essentially the Foundation’s attempt to formalize and accelerate that position.

What this means for investors The Frontier Traders program is explicitly not designed for retail investors. The $500 million volume floor makes that abundantly clear.

The SpaceX angle is particularly interesting because it tests a core hypothesis about tokenized equities: can onchain markets compete with, or even complement, traditional IPO processes? If $SPCX generates meaningful volume and price discovery before SpaceX’s Nasdaq listing, it becomes a proof of concept that other high-profile pre-IPO companies will be watching closely.

There are risks worth flagging. Tokenized equities exist in a regulatory gray zone that varies by jurisdiction. The redemption mechanism for $SPCX, tied to SpaceX’s eventual public listing, introduces counterparty risk and depends on an IPO timeline that Elon Musk has historically been in no rush to set. Investors should also consider that the 95% market share figure, while impressive, reflects a still-nascent market where absolute volumes may be modest compared to traditional equity trading.

BlackRock’s tokenized money market fund on Ethereum, for example, has attracted billions in assets. Solana’s lead in tokenized equities is real, but maintaining it will require continued innovation and regulatory clarity that neither Solana nor any other blockchain can unilaterally provide.

The Solana Foundation has launched Frontier Traders, a new global program designed for professional traders, market makers, and institutional trading firms operating within the Solana ecosystem. The initiative introduces a structured rewards and engagement framework for high-volume participants while expanding on the Foundation's earlier institutional trading efforts.

The program officially opened on June 11 and establishes a VIP tier for firms and traders that meet strict activity requirements. To qualify, participants must record at least $500 million in 30-day trading volume and maintain $16 million in open interest on any onchain trading venue.

According to the Solana Foundation, Frontier Traders aims to create a network-level program that recognizes trading activity across the Solana ecosystem rather than rewarding activity on a single platform.

A Program Built Around Rewards, Infrastructure, and Influence The Foundation describes Frontier Traders as a three-part offering focused on rewards, operational support, and market participation.

On the rewards side, eligible traders can receive trading rebates and incentives across participating venues. Rather than tying benefits to a specific exchange or protocol, the program measures activity across Solana trading venues. The Foundation states that the program comprises three tiers based on trading volume and open interest, as well as separate trading campaigns offering additional incentives.

The second component focuses on infrastructure. VIP participants receive priority access to RPC services, dedicated account management, early access to product launches via Asset Express, and introductions to key institutions and applications across Solana’s DeFi ecosystem.

The third component centers on participation and feedback. Frontier Traders members can attend quarterly briefings, join private events, and contribute structured feedback on future market structure developments. The Foundation says the program will allow top traders to “help define what markets on Solana look like in the years to come”.

The program specifically targets professional market participants, such as market makers and high-frequency trading and proprietary trading firms, whose activities contribute liquidity and trading volume across the network.

The program also targets principal market makers deploying capital across multiple liquidity venues. These firms can receive performance-based incentives while gaining access to infrastructure designed for multi-venue execution.

Enrollment Window and First Trading Campaign Enrollment for the VIP tier remains open until June 18. Traders who do not meet the requirements for VIP status can still participate in Frontier Traders through spot and perpetual futures trading campaigns.

The first campaign begins today, June 12, at 10:00 a.m. EST and focuses on tokenized exposure to SpaceX via the $SPCX market. Powered by Sunrise and Torque, the campaign includes a $25,000 prize pool and is the first public trading competition under the Frontier Traders banner.

This approach allows the Foundation to engage a broader segment of the trading community while reserving the highest tier of benefits for firms that meet institutional-scale activity thresholds.

London Event Brings Community Together The program's first major in-person gathering will take place in London on June 25. Called Frontier Traders Connect: London, the event will run from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. local time and will be invite-only.

The Solana Foundation describes the gathering as a curated event for influential traders, researchers, allocators, proprietary trading firms, funds with digital asset exposure, and other significant market participants. Attendance remains limited and subject to approval.

Matthew Osofisan, Head of Product Marketing at the Solana Foundation, highlighted the event in a Thursday post, describing it as an opportunity for influential traders, researchers, and allocators to connect.

A Continuation of Solana's Institutional Trading Strategy The launch of Frontier Traders appears to build on an institutional trading initiative introduced by the Solana Foundation in February.

At that time, the Foundation unveiled a program specifically designed to help institutional traders access Solana's DeFi ecosystem. The earlier effort focused on onboarding hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, market makers, and crypto-native trading teams by providing access to liquidity, trading tools, data resources, infrastructure support, and guidance on DeFi opportunities.

The February initiative emphasized practical execution needs rather than promotional incentives. It offered institutional participants access to trading data, transaction lifecycle tools, protocol introductions, infrastructure providers, and assistance in navigating yield opportunities throughout Solana DeFi.

Frontier Traders expands that vision by introducing formal rewards, tiered benefits, private networking opportunities, and a more structured framework for recognizing trading activity across the ecosystem.

Vibhu Shares 2026 Outlook For Solana

Solana researchers have introduced a new protocol design aimed at reducing validator control over transaction ordering. It targets one of the most persistent issues in blockchain markets: Maximal Extractable Value [MEV].

In a newly released whitepaper, the team outlines “Constellation,” a multiple concurrent proposers [MCP] system designed to prevent validators from manipulating transaction inclusion and sequencing. 

The proposal shifts away from single-leader block production, which currently allows validators to reorder or censor transactions for profit.

Instead, Constellation distributes transaction submissions across multiple proposers while introducing a new class of nodes, called attesters, to enforce fairness in how transactions are processed.

How Constellation changes transaction ordering on Solana Under the proposed model, multiple proposers submit transaction batches simultaneously, rather than relying on a single leader with temporary control over the mempool.

Attesters then verify and timestamp these submissions before they are assembled into blocks.

This structure limits the ability of any single validator to delay, reorder, or front-run transactions. The leader role still exists but is constrained by proposer inputs and attestations, reducing discretionary control over block composition.

The system also introduces fixed “economic ticks” of around 50 milliseconds, creating predictable intervals for transaction inclusion.

Why the design targets MEV rather than redistributing it Most existing approaches, including proposer-builder separation, focus on redistributing MEV rather than eliminating it. Constellation takes a different approach by attempting to remove the conditions that allow MEV extraction in the first place.

The whitepaper describes this as “selective censorship resistance,” in which valid, competitively priced transactions must be included within a defined time window, limiting opportunities for manipulation.

This design aims to ensure that protocol rules rather than validator incentives determine transaction latency and ordering.

Can Solana enforce fairness at scale? The proposal reflects a broader push to align blockchain infrastructure with traditional financial market standards, where fairness and predictable execution are critical.

However, the system introduces additional complexity, including reliance on synchronized clocks and new coordination layers between proposers, attesters, and validators.

Its effectiveness will depend on whether these assumptions hold under real-world network conditions.

If implemented successfully, Constellation could shift Solana’s positioning from a high-speed blockchain to a platform designed for fair and efficient financial markets.

Final Summary Solana’s Constellation proposal targets MEV by limiting validator control over transaction ordering. The design introduces multi-proposer coordination and enforced timing to improve fairness at the protocol level.
