The price of SEND and dForce jumped triple digits, while Bitcoin shows clear signs of struggling to reclaim $100,000.

The cryptocurrency market is showing signs of recovery after the recent slump. Ethereum (ETH), which fell as low as $3,000, has managed to push above $3,400.

Bitcoin (BTC) has also shown slow reversal, with prices hovering around the $97,000 level. Meanwhile, a community token on Solana (SOL) called Send (SEND) has seen its price surge by over 360%.

SEND 1D Price Chart From CoinGecko The price of SEND has gone up from a 24-hour low of $0.01468 to as high as $0.1626 before falling to its current level. The coin is also up by over 4,700% in the last 30 days.

The SEND team has released their Solana agent kit, which is an open-source toolkit for connecting AI agents to Solana. This development could be one reason for its price surge.

https://twitter.com/sendaifun/status/1870252848564392004

Coming second on the list of the top gainers in the last 24 hours, dForce (DF) price pumped by over 160%. The coin’s price has gone up by over 200% in the last 30 days.

While there haven’t been any technical developments that could have triggered a price surge, the only evident development has been their recent Optimistic winter campaign.

1D price chart from CoinGecko Third on CoinGecko’s top gainer’s list is Odos (ODOS). The project’s native token, ODOS, has pumped 90% in the last 24 hours.

The surge was primarily because of Binance’s revelation of its fourth batch of project tokens as part of its Binance Alpha initiative.

Binance Alpha is a new feature that showcases tokens that could be listed on the exchange. The latest list included ODOS, which could have helped in its recent pump.

ODOS 1D price chart The project also announced that it will soon arrive on Bybit, where the exchange is hosting an Odos giveaway.

What to Know:

Bitcoin’s November selloff showed that DeFi and core crypto infrastructure are tougher than they look, boosting the case for real utility 1000x plays.  Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) brings SVM execution and ultra low latency smart contracts to Bitcoin, aiming for high speed wrapped $BTC DeFi on a modular Layer 2. PEPENODE ($PEPENODE) reshapes meme coins with a mine to earn virtual node system that rewards engagement instead of blind speculation. Cardano ($ADA) keeps building as a research driven base layer, supported by Hydra scaling and new exposure through the Brave wallet. Bitcoin’s November crash looked painful on the charts. Prices swung double digits in days, and every social media chart wizard acted like the sky was falling.

But under the surface, something more interesting happened.

DeFi infrastructure held. Trades cleared. Liquidations worked. Yield strategies kept running. There were no chain meltdowns or domino style collapses like in previous cycles.

Source: DefiLlama It was boring in the best possible way.

That resilience matters. It shows that capital is finally shifting to systems that actually work during volatility. Not the hype coins that vanish after one bad weekend, but the rails that keep the market running when the heat turns up. 

If you think the next 1000x crypto to buy is the project that survives these stress tests, then you’re already looking past the usual noise.

You want speed, strong security assumptions, and tech stacks that do not explode the moment gas fees spike.

Below are three new crypto projects that match that idea.

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) as a bold Bitcoin Layer 2 execution engine. PEPENODE ($PEPENODE) as a mine to earn twist on memecoins. And Cardano ($ADA) as the slow and steady research chain that keeps shipping L2 capacity.

1. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – First Bitcoin L2 With SVM Execution Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) calls itself the first Bitcoin Layer 2 that runs the Solana Virtual Machine.

In simple terms, it tries to bolt Solana level performance onto Bitcoin’s settlement layer. Bitcoin keeps its security. $HYPER provides the speed.

Instead of waiting for Bitcoin’s ~10 minute blocks and dealing with its limited scripting, $HYPER sends execution to a real time SVM Layer 2.

The setup is modular: Bitcoin L1 for settlement, one trusted sequencer for ordering, and an SVM execution layer that targets sub second confirmations and very low fees. It gives DeFi on Bitcoin a Solana style user experience.

Bitcoin Hyper wants wrapped $BTC to feel like a real DeFi asset. Fast payments. Tiny fees. Swaps, lending, and staking inside SVM contracts.

Even NFTs and gaming rails through Rust based SDKs. SPL compatible tokens make it easy for Solana builders to join the ecosystem.

The market seems to like the idea. The presale has already raised over $28M, and you can buy $HYPER now for just $0.013365.

Staking begins right after TGE, and presale stakers get a 7 day vesting window. It’s set up for long term participation instead of quick flips.

If you think Bitcoin’s next big move comes from fast, programmable liquidity built on Bitcoin instead of moving away from it, Bitcoin Hyper is a strong high beta bet on that future.

For more context on this project, check out Bitcoin Hyper price prediction and see what the future holds.

Join the $HYPER presale now.

2. PEPENODE ($PEPENODE) – Mine‑to‑Earn Memecoin With Node Economics November reminded everyone that most meme coins still trade like lottery tickets taped to a roller coaster.

PEPENODE ($PEPENODE) wants to change that with a mine to earn model that rewards users for running virtual nodes and being active, not just watching charts.

The core of the system is a virtual mining setup with tiered node rewards. Engagement produces tokens and higher tier nodes lead to better performance. Users track progress through a dashboard that looks more like a simple DeFi mining UI than a standard meme page.

For a project still in presale, traction is strong. $PEPENODE has raised over $2M so far, with tokens priced at $0.0011731.

The official staking program offers 578% APY, while the node reward system works as a soft yield tool, sending new supply toward active community members instead of random speculators.

Most meme coins depend on hype loops, influencers, and luck. PEPENODE brings back a touch of early DeFi mining energy. It’s gamified, but with actual rules and transparent dashboards.

If you want meme upside without wandering around blindfolded, this one deserves a spot on your radar.

To dive deeper into the project, you can also check out PEPENODE price prediction and see how 2026 looks like for this memecoin.

Join the PEPENODE presale.

3. Cardano ($ADA) – Research‑Driven Base Layer With Hydra Scaling Bitcoin Hyper tries to improve Bitcoin from the outside.

Cardano ($ADA) does the opposite. It builds its base layer slowly and scientifically, with formal methods and a layered design. Its Ouroboros proof of stake system aims for proof of work level security while staying energy efficient.

Cardano separates settlement and computation. This lets developers create more complex smart contracts without overloading the base chain.

Hydra adds Layer 2 scaling on top, letting apps run high throughput activity off chain and anchor back to the mainnet when needed.

The ecosystem has been expanding in the background. Brave wallet integration now gives $ADA exposure to more than 85M users.

This brings a steady flow of potential new holders and dApp users into the Cardano world. At the same time, institutions continue exploring DeFi, identity, and real world asset ideas on Cardano.

$ADA is currently trading around $0.3934, giving the network a relatively steady valuation as development keeps moving.

Source: CoinMarketCap Cardano isn’t the loudest chain. It doesn’t shout about transactions per second every week. But its mix of formal verification, Hydra scaling, and massive user distribution makes it one of the more durable large cap platforms.

If your thesis favors slow cooking infrastructure that wins long term, ADA still belongs in the conversation.

Buy Cardano from Binance now.

Bitcoin’s November dip was more than a price correction. It was a live stress test. And the winners were the projects that kept working while everything else shook.

If Bitcoin’s future growth comes from tools that keep running during chaos, these three offer very different but very real ways to position early.

The expansive universe of Star Atlas is a testament to the limitless potential of gaming. Built on the Solana network, this role-playing game (RPG) opens a new frontier of play-to-earn games, where players are not only entranced by the allure of space exploration and high-tech warfare but also motivated by tangible rewards they can earn and trade. As a leading game in the crypto market, Star Atlas demonstrates the transformative power of blockchain technology within the gaming industry.

A Leap into the Future of Gaming

In the vast landscape of gaming, blockchain technology is a technological tour de force that is destined to reshape the industry. The gaming world has already seen the disruptive influence of tokenization and in-game currency. Blockchain technology expands on this phenomenon, offering new levels of fairness and concrete value to virtual transactions.

Star Atlas has fully embraced this revolution. Its play-to-earn model rewards players with ATLAS tokens, which have real-world value and can be used to purchase in-game items such as weapons, spacecraft, and land. These assets, created as non-fungible tokens (NFTs), enrich the gaming experience by enabling players to truly own their strategies and adventures. Star Atlas exemplifies the liquidity offered by blockchain within gaming, taking in-game tokenization to new heights.

Building an Empowered Player Economy

The blockchain's decentralized nature is integral to Star Atlas's thriving player economy. With the Serum decentralized exchange, players can trade their in-game assets directly, without an intermediary. This peer-to-peer trading echoes the foundational ethos of blockchain—democratizing economic power.

Moreover, the game's dual token economy based on ATLAS and POLIS tokens ensures a dynamic and immersive gaming experience. While ATLAS tokens serve as a medium of exchange within the game, POLIS tokens give players a say in the game's development, crafting a fully decentralized ecosystem.

In Star Atlas, players can engage in lucrative operations, from land acquisition and resource mining to combat missions. The Land Value Tax (LVT) system encourages productive use of land, creating an intricate economic ecosystem within the game.

Revolutionizing the Gaming Experience

Blockchain gaming is not just about economic benefits—it's about reimagining the player's experience. The application of Unreal Engine 5’s Nanite system in the development of Star Atlas allows for an unprecedented level of detail and realism in the game's universe. As players explore the farthest reaches of the galaxy, they are treated to an extraordinary visual feast, blurring the lines between the virtual and the real.

The game also allows players to venture out into different security zones, engage in combat, and collect NFT bounties. This mechanic showcases the hybridized model of blockchain gaming, wherein the game operates on a central server but the assets are traded via a decentralized marketplace. It's the best of both worlds, offering a controlled yet liberating experience.

The Most Anticipated Crypto Game

With gaming and blockchain investments at an all-time high, the success of Star Atlas can usher in an era of mass adoption of blockchain within the gaming industry. As the space exploration RPG continues to enthrall players and incentivize participation with its play-to-earn model, it could become the case study for blockchain's impact on gaming.

BREAKING: DEGENS CAN NOW FLY ON @Solana’s MOST ANTICIPATED GAME @staratlas pic.twitter.com/a0B1dXaGMv

— SolanaFloor😶‍🌫️ (@SolanaFloor) June 9, 2023 Star Atlas is a shining beacon in the expanding universe of blockchain gaming, setting the stage for other games to follow suit. By creating a game of exceptional quality that utilizes blockchain technology to its fullest extent, Star Atlas is living proof of the much-anticipated marriage of gaming and blockchain—a pioneering force pushing the gaming industry into a new era.

In a revolutionary leap for the gaming industry, Star Atlas, in collaboration with MetaGravity, is setting a new global standard for online multiplayer games. This groundbreaking partnership is bringing the world its first super-massive game size, boasting record numbers of simultaneous players, AI-driven non-player characters (NPCs), and interactive objects—all within a single, persistent universe.

Harnessing MetaGravity’s Technology: A Game-Changer

The uniqueness of this collaboration lies in its integration of MetaGravity's state-of-the-art technology. Traditional gaming systems could only support up to a hundred concurrent players in a shared environment. This limitation, which persisted for over a decade, has finally been shattered. Now, Star Atlas, backed by the might of MetaGravity, has achieved the previously unthinkable—over 30,000 co-players in a shared game environment, with prospects of even higher numbers in the future.

The power of this new technological marvel was on display at the Solana PlayGG Game Festival in San Diego, where a successful 5,000-player stress test was conducted using advanced interactive bots in a persistent environment. This technology is scheduled to be fully incorporated into the Star Atlas game on Unreal Engine 5 after a forthcoming update on the Epic Game Store.

Infinite Scalability: The New Standard

Michael Wagner, Co-founder of Star Atlas and CEO of ATMTA, reflected on the game's ambitious objectives, stating, "Star Atlas was always envisioned to redefine the player experience." He emphasized the game's grand scale and its commitment to offering a consistent reality for all players. Wagner further highlighted the pivotal role of MetaGravity in turning this vision into reality.

Rashid Mansoor, the driving force behind MetaGravity, echoed this sentiment. He expressed pride in their pragmatic approach to the industry's challenges and emphasized the shared vision with Star Atlas to elevate the gaming experience.

MetaGravity's state-of-the-art platform is an infinitely scalable metaverse engine, challenging the constraints of contemporary spatial partitioning engines. It promises enhanced performance, unlimited scalability, and cost-efficiency—ushering in a new era for game developers like Star Atlas.

Conclusion: A New Horizon for the Gaming Industry

The Star Atlas and MetaGravity partnership symbolizes more than just a technological breakthrough—it represents a monumental shift in how we perceive the limitations of online gaming. As the gaming landscape evolves, this partnership is poised to lead the way, offering gamers an unparalleled experience in a vast, dynamic universe, limited only by imagination.

US Treasury Secretary: AI boom may boost productivity and help curb inflation.

US Treasury Secretary Bessent told CNBC in an interview that he hopes the Federal Reserve will remain "open-minded" about the inflation pattern after the reversal of Iran-related energy price hikes. Bessent noted that the U.S. could enter an economic environment marked by high GDP growth without a corresponding rise in traditional inflation. He cited that in the 1990s, Alan Greenspan foresaw that office modernization and the internet could drive non-inflationary growth, and allowed the economy to keep expanding. Bessent believes the U.S. has a strong chance of seeing a similar scenario again. When asked whether the Fed still needs to worry about potential inflation and whether interest rate cuts are possible this year or next, Bessent declined to comment. However, he argued that it is necessary to stay open-minded about the price or inflation impacts from the Iran conflict, and monitor inflation performance after those effects subside. Bessent also said an open mind is needed, as the AI boom could boost productivity and deliver disinflationary effects, helping inflation return to the Fed’s target level. He added that he believes Kevin Warsh will choose the optimal path that meets both the Fed’s inflation and growth mandates. Bessent also noted that Warsh previously took a hawkish stance on inflation.

The Solana native coin is generating news as it goes against the trend, lately surpassing $176 in a move that has piqued the crypto world’s interest. This gain is especially surprising given the sour mood around the crypto just weeks ago, with several analysts predicting the altcoin would suffer.

SOL breaks past $176. Source: Coingecko But Solana has defied the odds, increasing both in price and in market confidence. According to analyst Miles Deutscher, the gain coincides with a broader increase in positive sentiment for Solana, encouraging industry-wide discussions about its potential.

Solana sentiment and mindshare keeps going through the roof.

But the run is far from over.

Technical signs indicate an even brighter future for the fifth-largest altcoin. According to experts, Solana’s present trajectory, which is supported by a bullish pennant pattern, indicates that SOL might reach as high as $260 if it breaks past resistance.

Increasing Interest And Technical Indicators As Solana’s price rose, observers saw a dramatic surge in positive sentiment about the asset. According to data, the number of discussions surrounding Solana has contributed to the upsurge observed in the slant.

Mindshare (a measure of the percentage of crypto discussions a coin commands) has remained high. For Deutscher, the increasing attentiveness on Solana is a sign that there is even more room for growth, contrary to the prevailing tendency in the market.

Although some investors are wary, experts say the technical terrain is still favorable. If the item breaks over its barrier, the optimistic pennant formation in SOL’s price action usually denotes more gains. Depending on if Solana can break out from its present level, its token’s price might be positioned for a notable climb toward $260.

Chart: TradingView.com The Ethereum-Solana Rivalry Surprisingly, Solana’s comeback happens at the same time that Ethereum co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko shows his accolade on Ethereum. Solana and Ethereum are competitors, but Yakovenko recently praised Ethereum’s core technology and said he liked its design and goal.

I like @BanklessHQ and ethereum. I even like the ethereum design and vision. If you told me to go build an alternative to bitcoin, ethereum settlement layer focused design is what I would steer the engineering towards.

This is of interest to people as they are generally two competing networks that try to outdo each other in offering superior decentralized apps and smart contracts functionality.

Ethereum has long been the preferred protocol among developers, but Solana, dubbed a “Ethereum-killer,” has quickly gained favor because to its speed and lower transaction fees. Yakovenko’s recognition demonstrates a developing sector in which competitors can acknowledge each other’s contributions to blockchain innovation.

Future Perspectives And Market Sentiment Meanwhile, Deutscher feels Solana’s price might double or possibly quadruple, particularly if Bitcoin rises to new highs, say $100,000. SOL’s continued performance despite recent falls suggests that it may have strong community and long-term holders. For the time being, SOL is a coin to keep an eye on, and with increased sentiment and a technical boost, it appears to be on track to continue challenging expectations.

Abermals ist Solana unter die psychologisch wichtige Marke von 200 US Dollar gestürzt: In den letzten 7 Tagen ging der Preis um 16 Prozent zurück und bewegt sich nun bei 183 US Dollar. Zu Jahresanfang bewegte sich Solana bei 217 US Dollar, am 6. Januar übersprang Solana sogar die 220 US Dollar-Grenze. Auch wenn es in den letzten Tagen steil bergab ging, bleiben die langfristigen Prognosen aber positiv. Einige Experten sind überzeugt, Solana könnte noch in der ersten Jahreshälfte in Richtung 300 US Dollar gehen; werden von der SEC die ersten Solana Spot ETFs zugelassen, könnte das ebenfalls positiv für weitere Preisexplosionen sein.

Kein Grund zur Sorge: Der Preis könnte sich 2025 verdoppeln Analyst Ted Pillows ist überzeugt: Solana könnte in diesem Jahr in Richtung 400 US Dollar gehen – das behauptet er jedenfalls auf X. Auf lange Sicht würde es keine negative Markteinschätzung geben; es bestehe zudem eine sehr hohe On Chain-Aktivität im Netzwerk von Solana. Dabei hebt der Analyst auch vor, Solana würde bereits in unterschiedlichen Anwendungsbereichen zum Einsatz kommen – etwa im Bereich dezentraler Finanzanwendung (DeFi), künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) und Meme Coins. Diese breite Nutzung zeigt ganz klar, dass das Netzwerk von Solana durchaus relevant bleibt.

2024 ging es für Solana steil nach oben: Im Januar 2024 lag der Preis bei rund 85 US Dollar, im März ging es dann über 200 US Dollar. Das Allzeithoch wurde am 23. November aufgestellt: 263 US Dollar. Im Ranking der Top Kryptowährungen laut Marktkapitalisierung befindet sich Solana auf Platz 6 mit knapp 90 Milliarden US Dollar.

Solana ist mit Sicherheit eine jener Kryptowährungen, die für 2025 empfohlen werden kann – vor allem, wenn man langfristig investieren möchte.

Zudem gibt es neben Solana noch Solaxy, eine neue 2 Layer-Lösung, die ebenfalls ein nicht zu unterschätzendes Potential hat.

Hier geht es zur Homepage von Solaxy

Sollte man in Solana und Solaxy investieren? Bei Solaxy handelt es sich um die erste für Solana geschaffene 2 Layer-Lösung, die innerhalb kürzester Zeit viel Aufmerksamkeit auf sich ziehen konnte. Im Zuge des aktuellen Presales wurden bereits über 9,5 Millionen US Dollar eingesammelt. Das Ziel, das bei Solaxy verfolgt wird? Durch eine weitere Skalierungsebene soll die Performance von Solana optimiert werden. Solana, bekannt für die sehr hohen Geschwindigkeiten und die relativ geringen Transaktionskosten, stößt nämlich bei einem immer größer werdenden Wachstum regelmäßig auf Belastungsgrenzen. Hier kommt eben Solaxy ins Spiel und bietet eine neue Lösung an.

Spielen bei Ethereum die Layer 2-Lösungen längst eine Schlüsselrolle, so steht Solana bei der Massenadoption vor vergleichbaren Problemen und Herausforderungen. Solaxy will einerseits an der Skalierbarkeit schrauben, andererseits auch die Netzwerkrobustheit verbessern. Das Projekt verfolgt den innovativen Ansatz, indem es Ethereum und Solana kombiniert. Durch diese parallele Speicherung der Transaktionsdaten auf Ethereum soll eine höhere Ausfallssicherheit erreicht werden.

Des Weiteren punktet man mit einer flexiblen Architektur, die erlaubt, dass Vermögenswerte problemlos zwischen den beiden Netzwerken übertragen werden können. Das heißt, Entwickler können auf neue Möglichkeiten zugreifen und Multi Chain-Anwendungen entwickeln, die dann auf den Stärken der beiden Blockchains basieren.

Hier geht es zum Presale von Solaxy

Der Plan: 138,046 Milliarden SOLX Token sollen ausgegeben werden. Um das Projekt auf lange Zeit zu sichern, werden 20 Prozent der Token als Reserve aufbewahrt. 15 Prozent der Token stehen für das Marketing zur Verfügung, damit das Wachstum und in weiterer Folge die Bekanntheit von Solaxy vorangetrieben werden kann.

25 Prozent der Token stehen für die frühen Unterstützer bereit. Also jene, die schon während dem Presale investieren. Nach dem Ende des Presales stehen 10 Prozent für die Listung auf einer Kryptobörse zur Verfügung.

Der größte Anteil der Token wird für die Weiterentwicklung verwendet – das sind 30 Prozent der Token.

Derzeit können all jene, die von Solaxy überzeugt sind, über die Homepage Token erwerben. Was man dafür benötigt? ETH, USDT oder BNB sowie eine kompatible Wallet, damit die Token dann übertragen werden können. Die Token können übrigens gestaked werden. Die Rendite geht bis zu 370 Prozent.

Solana tokens Shadow Token and Neon rose sharply on Wednesday, hitting highs of $2.49 and $1.96 respectively. Coinbase announced it will list SHDW and NEON tokens. Solana tokens Shadow Token (SHDW) and Neon (NEON) are among those to post huge upside moves in the past 24 hours. SHDW has spiked more than 50% while NEON added more than 21% as the Solana ecosystem continues to experience greater growth.

At the time of writing, Shadow Token price was at $2.09, slightly lower from the intraday high of $2.49 reached earlier.

Meanwhile, NEON changed hands at $1.78. The token had earlier jumped to highs of $1.96 as the market reacted to Coinbase related news.

Coinbase to list SHDW and NEON Leading US-based crypto exchange has announced that two Solana-based tokens – Shadow Token and NEON EVM are now added to its listing roadmap. This is a formal communication from the Coinbase team that they will be listing the given token(s).

Assets added to the roadmap today: Shadow Token (SHDW) and Neon EVM (NEON) https://t.co/rRB9d3hSr2

— Coinbase Assets 🛡️ (@CoinbaseAssets) March 27, 2024

In this case, an official announcement is yet to be made. However, the exchange has confirmed plans to list SHDW and NEON.

SHDW is the native utility token of Shadow, a decentralised physical infrastructure network (dePIN). The project provides for blockchain-based storage and compute capabilities. The SHDW powers this ecosystem, allowing users to pay for services including decentralised data storage and compute.

NEON is the utility token of the Neon EVM platform. Developers can tap into the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible network to build and deploy Ethereum-native decentralised applications (dApps) on Solana.

Coinbase to List Solana-Based Shadow Token (SHDW)

One Solana (SOL)-based altcoin is soaring after landing a surprise listing on Coinbase, the top crypto exchange in the US.

In an announcement via the social media platform X, Coinbase says it’s adding Shadow Token (SHDW) to its trading platform.

[adinserter block="1"]

Shadow Token is expected to be available on the platform starting Wednesday, at noon Eastern Standard Time. Amid the listing news on Tuesday, Shadow Token shot up from the day’s low of $1.83 to a high of $2.17, a gain of more than 18%.

Shadow Token has since retraced slightly, trading at $1.95 at time of writing, up 7% in the last 24 hours.

Coinbase is tagging Shadow Token with the experimental asset label, a designation for digital assets that pose certain risks such as price swings.

Shadow Token is a cryptocurrency designed for the sustainability and security of decentralized data storage infrastructure. It serves as the native token for the ShdwDrive network, a high-performance cloud storage platform.

Says the project team,

“Network mechanisms such as staking, halving, slashing and recycling – are carefully designed to work together to make SHDW an effective tool for securing the network and driving value. These mechanics, along with rewards and incentives, are designed to convert token holders into active participants who are helping to secure the network.”

Coinbase also just announced another Solana-based altcoin for trading with the experimental asset label, Tensor (TNSR). Tensor is the most popular non-fungible token (NFT) platform on Solana.

At time of writing, TNSR is trading for $1.60, down more than 14% in the last 24 hours.

For independent developers or small teams experimenting with Solana, the perfect launchpad should be quick, inexpensive, and user-friendly without compromising too much control.

With several tools available, like Pump.fun, PinkSale, and manual liquidity setups, Orbitt is gaining attention for offering a no-code, chat-based approach. This article compares all four options in terms of launch time, cost, and complexity, helping you choose what fits your needs best.

Orbitt: Speedy, No-Code Solana Launches for Free Orbitt is a lightweight Solana launch tool that could offer meme coin builders a fast, no-code way to go live, without dashboards or smart contract coding. Everything is designed to happen via Telegram or a simple command-line interface, just chat, confirm, and launch.

Orbitt gives you a stealth token sniping option with 50 wallets, volume pumping through bots, and seamless selling via trading tools or auto MM. And now, no upfront fee—just a small fee when you boost volume for tokens not deployed with Orbitt.

For meme coin teams, the potential appeal is clear:

Mint your token Add liquidity Boost volume All in under 10 minutes, that too for a small percentage fee.

A Check on what others are doing There’s no need to write a contract or manually manage LPs. Once launched, Orbitt could even support automatic trading simulation, giving your token the appearance of live market activity. It’s shaping up to be a strong option for meme projects that want quick, fair launches with minimal setup, especially for non-technical creators.

Orbitt is a lightweight Solana launch tool that offers a fast, no-code way for meme coin builders to go live without dashboards or smart contract coding. It provides stealth token sniping, volume pumping through bots, and seamless selling via trading tools or auto MM. Orbitt is suitable for meme coin teams that want quick, fair launches with minimal setup. Pump.fun is ultra-fast but limited in flexibility, offering a simple token creation process but no customization options. PinkSale is a well-known launchpad for tokens on BNB Chain and Ethereum, but it is time-consuming and expensive, with platform costs exceeding 2% of cash taken and an average setup time of 30-60 minutes.

Manual LP Setup: High Control, High Effort Manual token launches require deep technical knowledge. You’ll need to:

Write or modify an SPL token contracts Deploy it. Set up a liquidity pool on a DEX like Radium. Manage token distribution, security, and slippage manually. It is all yours to control, but it is very expensive and slow, and prone to error. Sometimes, it just takes entire hours or days to get it right, even by seasoned builders, and altogether it might cost you more than two or three SOL, especially when you may need the help of developers.

Long-term utility projects should be set up manually, and not memes, which require fast momentum.  Platform Avg. Launch Time Cost Estimate Technical Skills Needed Ideal For Orbitt ~10 minutes Small percentage fee Low (Telegram Commands) Meme coins, fast launches Pump.fun ~5 minutes ~0.05–0.1 SOL Very Low (form input) Viral tokens, low-effort testing PinkSale 30–60 minutes Varies (2%+ fees) Medium (dashboard setup) Presales, fundraising campaigns Manual LP 1–3+ hours 2–3+ SOL High (dev + DEX knowledge) Custom or long-term tokenomics Launchpad Comparison Table

Conclusion With Solana meme coins booming, creators now have tools like Pump.fun, PinkSale, and manual LP setups, each with trade-offs. Orbitt could offer a balanced, no-code alternative with quick launches via Telegram and a very small percentage fee.

Radiant Capital, a lending and borrowing protocol for users to borrow various assets across multiple chains, is rapidly closing in on Aave, looking at earnings data over the past six months.

Radiant Capital Earnings Rising: What’s The Trigger? According to Token Terminal statistics on November 8 shared by one user on X, @Flowslikeosmo, Radiant Capital generated $5.8 million in revenue despite a relatively lower level of liquidity than Aave. @Flowslikeosmo, who claims to be a crypto researcher, said Radiant Capital’s earnings will likely explode in the upcoming sessions, especially once the 2.8 million ARB begins to be deployed.

Radiant Capital earnings | Source: Token Terminal via @Flowslikeosmo on X Radiant Capital is a popular cross-chain decentralized money market through which users, regardless of their choice blockchain, can either lend their assets and earn passive income or borrow assets trustlessly. This way, the decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol has opened up liquidity and boosted access to multiple blockchains.

Related Reading: Dogecoin In Tight Zone: Why A Rally Will Happen If DOGE Clears $0.076

To perform effectively, the protocol relies on LayerZero, which enables trustless and decentralized communication between blockchains using Oracle Relays, allowing platforms to be more interconnected and ledgers to be more interoperable. As Radiant Capital offers services, the DeFi protocol generates earnings or revenue primarily from fees. 

The platform charges a protocol fee on all transactions. Earnings from this allow the team to be operational while allowing the protocol to generate revenue.

However, it should be noted only 15% of this fee is used to cover operational expenditure, with the rest redistributed to users as yield. Besides, there are fees billed to users taking flash loans. The protocol rewards providers with RDNT to incentivize liquidity provision, depending on the amount provided and the duration locked.

ARB Airdrop, Will RNDT Rally To New 2023 Highs? Earnings generated depend on the activity level, directly influencing protocol fees accrued and the number of users taking flash loans. Following Radiant Capital’s recent announcement that it plans to airdrop 2 million ARB following the Arbitrum DAO‘s approval of a proposal first floated in late September, activity could skyrocket in the coming months, boosting earnings.

Moreover, the protocol’s liquidity is expected to increase with this approval. The ARB airdrop will be used to incentivize liquidity provision. Additionally, Radiant Capital will strike more partnerships, allowing it to expand to other chains, including Ethereum and Arbitrum.

Radiant Capital price trending upward on the daily chart | Source: RDNTUSDT on Binance, TradingView According to Dune Analytics data, the number of RDNT holders continues to rise, mirroring its general price performance. Thus far, RDNT is up 40% from October lows. The immediate resistance level at $0.33 must be broken for the coin to rally, even registering new 2023 highs.

Security experts discovered malicious code on Bonk.fun that exposed users to potential wallet-draining attacks. However, security experts have expressed fears that users of decentralized sites remain vulnerable to phishing attacks due to a lack of interface security protections. The security vulnerability on Bonk.fun allowed malicious wallet drainer links to affect users who were not aware of the danger. Additionally, security experts detected the vulnerability after users encountered suspicious approval prompts while interacting with the Bonk.fun platform. The attacker injected malicious scripts to redirect users to phishing sites that demanded approvals from their connected wallets. These approvals allowed the malicious programs to drain the users’ tokens automatically from their wallets to the attacker’s addresses.

The exploit raised several concerns in the Solana ecosystem. The Bonk.fun is a site that interacts with the trading of meme tokens and the Decentralized Finance community. The attackers tried to deceive users by mimicking reward claims and token distribution through malicious interface changes. After the users accepted the request, the drainer would drain the assets from the users’ wallets within a matter of seconds.

The official X post of Bonk.fun said, “A malicious actor has compromised the BONKfun domain. Do not interact with the website until we have secured everything.”

A malicious actor has compromised the BONKfun domain, do not interact with the website until we have secured everything.

— BONK.fun (@bonkfun) March 12, 2026 Platform Response and Community Warnings The developer community reacted quickly after the news became public. And immediately removed the malicious scripts that affected the Bonk.fun interface. The developer team immediately reviewed all integrations and external scripts associated with the interface that attackers might have exploited. The platform operators immediately alerted users to revoke any approvals made by malicious tokens. And to avoid clicking on unknown links shared in crypto-related groups. Blockchain investigators are closely monitoring the attacker’s wallets and all transactions associated with the exploit campaign. 

Tom, the operator of Bonk.fun explained the issue on his X post. He expressed his answers saying, “We understand a lot of people are scared and rightly so, but we’re doing everything in our power to fix the situation.”

To answer the concerns I’m seeing:

1. No if you connected to bonk fun in the past you’re not affected

2. No if you trade bonk fun tokens on terminals etc you’re not affected

3. The only people affected were people who signed a fake TOS message on the bonkfun domain after…

— Tom (@SolportTom) March 12, 2026 The crypto market took the incident seriously, as security vulnerabilities are a major concern for investors and affect the overall market sentiment. Meanwhile, market sentiment toward new meme token markets remained cautious. However, analysts argued that the quick response from the developer community could help limit potential damage. The potential damage that might be caused by a security incident involving a decentralized interface. The users of the Bonk interface alerted each other through social media networks, warning them of the phishing approvals that are being made by malicious tokens associated with the interface.
