gm, happy new week 🙏
we spent a lot of time blaming sniper bots for bad meme launches.
but the numbers tell a bigger story.
@zerufinance analysed 8.2M Pump(.)fun launches and found that developers and bundled wallets made at least $579M after fees.
sniper bots made $31.5M.
that's an 18x difference.
21% of launches also had developer-linked wallets buying in the launch block, with those wallets holding a median 10% of supply.
so being first isn't the whole advantage.
having early access to supply is.
by the time everyone else sees the chart, some wallets may already have a meaningful position and a clear path to exit.
that's why the more interesting question isn't "how do we beat the snipers?"
it's "who gets access to the market before everyone else?"
that's the problem @zerufinance is trying to rethink with Activity Fi.

Good morning, Familia.
Sincerely speaking, we need a better approach to tackle...
Institutions need to use blockchain without handing their competitors a map of every financial move.
There are many benefits they can be deducted from this for real.
Let us think about a market maker managing stablecoins, moving funds, or deploying capital into yield strategies.
What is sure is that transaction amounts and wallet activity can reveal sensitive positions and trading patterns on a a transparent chain.
@primus_labs team being a fabulous builder is here to fix this and give users the best.
The funniest thing is that Primus combines two technologies to address different parts of the problem:
📍 FHE:
This allows smart contracts to compute on encrypted data e.g stablecoin balances, transfer amounts, and vault positions can remain confidential while supported financial operations are processed.
📍 zkTLS:
This will help to verify information from offchain sources, such as reserve data or authorized records, without requiring the entire underlying record to be exposed in any way.
The ideal institutional workflow is to protect sensitive financial data during onchain activity and also provide verifiable evidence for specific claims when needed. Auditors and counterparties can easily check relevant information without automatically seeing the entire financial picture.
To me, that is the balance institutions need i.e confidential operations with meaningful verification.
Privacy matters and proving what is true matters a lot too.
If you want to explore how verification can establish trust without exposing every detail, I will urge you to read about this technology and use the Primus referral link attached below to access the available XP tasks, complete the verification activities, and follow your progress:

To reach VIP1 on Binance, Bybit or OKX, you need 100,000 USD in assets, or 1,000,000 USD in spot trading volume over 30 days.
To start with @MEXC VVIP, you need 0.
You begin at Standard with an initial M-Score of 350 & that one difference tells you a lot about who this program was built for.
Most VIP programs feel like a club for people who already trade at scale.
MEXC VVIP feels more like a place you can walk into first, look around & then decide how far you want to go.
What makes it easy to understand is the M-Score.
It is a number that decides your tier and the benefits that come with it & the new Score Insights update now shows you exactly what sits behind that number.
It breaks your score into 5 dimensions …
▸ Trading Performance
▸ Asset Level
▸ Security Verification
▸ Platform Activity
▸ Account Tenure
For each one, you can see where you are doing well and where there is something worth reviewing.
Your membership stops being a mystery and becomes something you can read clearly.
Your score places you in one of 3 tiers ►
▸ Standard: 350 to 599
▸ Premier: 600 to 799
▸ Elite: 800 and above
And the benefits are practical.
Take MEXC Card cashback, which is based on your VVIP tier on the last day of each month...
▸ Standard: 4% cashback, up to 100 USDT monthly
▸ Premier: 6% cashback, up to 300 USDT monthly
▸ Elite: 10% cashback, up to 800 USDT monthly
If you already use an eligible MEXC Card for shopping or subscriptions, knowing your tier means knowing exactly what comes back to you.
Elite also adds 24/7 priority support, priority handling of large withdrawals, and access to private communities.
One honest note
@MEXC does not disclose the exact scoring criteria, so this is not a points checklist.
Nobody should trade or deposit more just to chase a tier, and Card cashback follows the applicable Card program and regional availability.
A good VIP program should not make you prove you are rich before it lets you in.
It should let you start where you are, and show you clearly where you stand.
So go & check yours.
Open Score Insights, see which of the 5 dimensions stands out, and tell me what you find.
Check yours: mexc.com/user/m-score

Who really wins the meme launch game?
I just read something from @zerufinance that honestly changed how I look at launches.
Bitquery analysed 8.2M Pump.fun launches. Here's what they found:
→ 21% had dev-linked wallets buying in the very same block as the launch, holding a median 10% of supply
→ Devs and bundled wallets made at least $579M after fees on tokens they sold
→ Sniper bots made $31.5M
That means insiders made 18x more than the bots everyone loves to blame.
For years we've said "snipers ruined it." But snipers are just the visible part. The real edge is:
🔹Who gets access
🔹How much supply they secure
🔹When they sell
By the time regular buyers see the chart, the game is already decided. You think you're early, but you're actually the exit liquidity for someone who was in block one.
Same launch. Different access.
That's why I respect what @zerufinance is doing. Instead of just complaining, they're putting real data behind a feeling most of us already had. Transparency like this is how the space gets better.
Meme coins are fun, and they should stay fun. But fun only works when the playing field isn't rigged before you even click buy.
So I'm curious:
Would you want bundle limits, supply caps, or fully fair launches?
If you're building a trading agent, here's a practical path using @agenticscredit .
Phase 1: Paper under the engine. Run your agent on paper. The risk engine will apply stops, trailing, drawdown limits, and cooldowns. Treat the engine's rules as design constraints, not obstacles.
Phase 2: Watch your factors. Your ACS updates with every trade. Don't just watch the headline number. A high win rate with ugly drawdown won't carry you, because no single signal dominates.
Phase 3: Aim for consistency. The score rewards steady returns over one lucky window. Longevity matters too. A record has to exist before it can be strong.
Phase 4: Cross 580. This opens the credit path and the funding waitlist. Remember, qualifying isn't a guarantee of funding or terms.
Phase 5: Layer in real performance. As on-chain trades accumulate, they progressively dominate your score. Real results are the final judge.
Phase 6: Scale carefully. If you run multiple agents, each gets a score and they roll up capital-weighted into one operator score.
Build the record before you ask for the capital.

your audience might not be ignoring you,they just don't see why they should care.
✶you post your product updates.
✶you explain your features.
✶you share what you've been building.
but from your audience's perspective, there's still one question you haven't answered:
"what does this have to do with me?"
and that's where a lot of brands lose people.
you're so focused on explaining what you've built that you forget to explain why it matters to the person reading.
people don't automatically care because something took you months to build.
they care when they can see what it means for them;when it solves a problem for them
people are looking past the 'potential' your brand apparently has and are instead focusing on how it solves problems for them
so before your next post as a founder, ask yourself:
am i just telling people what we're doing, or am i giving them a reason to care?
because those are two very different things.
Imagine asking a founder why they built their product.
They will tell you about the features, the technology, what it does, and how it works.
But you still don't know why they cared enough to build it in the first place.
And I think that's where some brands lose something important.
Because before the features, there was a reason;
✶Maybe the founder experienced a problem nobody was solving well enough.
✶Maybe they saw an opportunity others overlooked.
✶Maybe they believed there was a better way to do something.
That belief is part of the brand's story, too.
But somewhere along the way, the messaging becomes so focused on explaining the product that the original reason gets lost.
People learn what the product does, but struggle to understand what makes the brand worth caring about.
Your product explains what you've built but your story helps people understand why it matters.
Don't lose one while trying to explain the other.

Most people know Bitcoin as digital money.
But what if Bitcoin could do more than send and receive BTC?
What if developers could build financial applications around Bitcoin without requiring users to bridge their BTC to another chain?
That's the problem Arch Network is working to solve.
@Arch is an infrastructure designed to make Bitcoin more programmable, allowing developers to build applications that need more complex financial logic while enabling transactions to settle directly on Bitcoin.
Picture it as adding new capabilities to Bitcoin without replacing Bitcoin itself.
That's the idea behind Arch.
And understanding that idea is the first step to understanding what they're building.

leaderboard campaigns have become very competitive lately.
ever since Axis cooked on Kaito, the influx of participants in existing campaigns has tripled.
you can spend hours researching a project, publish all posts and still not make the leaderboard.

Physical AI needs more than capable robots. It needs real world data to help machines understand the environments they operate in.
@vangrid_io is tackling part of this challenge by turning smartphones into a distributed network for capturing real places in 3D.
Through its bounty marketplace, buyers request specific locations, and contributors capture them using their phones. The footage can then be reconstructed into 3D models.
Vangrid also uses onchain attestations through EAS on Base to make capture provenance easier to verify.
The bigger idea is simple: smartphones can make real world spatial data more accessible for robotics and Physical AI.
The physical world is now orderable.
Post a bounty for a real place. Someone nearby films it on their phone. Proof of capture lands onchain. You get the 3D model.

One detail I want to understand better about @zerufinance Activity Fi is the decision to burn tokens that go unsold in daily auctions.
That creates an interesting question: what happens when demand doesn’t meet expectations?
I’m also curious how miners’ USDC earnings change from one auction to another.
For me, the real test is how these rules work when market conditions aren’t ideal, not just when interest is high.
nelson retweeted
Good Morning Besties!
I find the on-demand side of @vangrid_io particularly interesting. Not every place has the spatial data a robotics team needs, especially when environments change or a specific location hasn’t been mapped properly.
The idea of letting buyers request a fresh capture feels practical to me. Contributors collect the footage, and the resulting 3D model can give machines a more useful picture of the physical world.
I’m curious how well this works when demand comes from real robotics teams and AI agents, not just experiments.
Getting accurate data for a specific place at the right time could make a meaningful difference.

Good morning, everyone.
Imagine entering a virtual city where buying land is only the beginning of the experience.
With @fomopoly_rh, players can acquire and sell virtual plots, with prices increasing as the game progresses. But beyond buying property, there’s a decision every player will eventually have to consider: what do you do with the assets you own?
Holding a plot could be part of your strategy, while selling might make sense depending on how the market develops. The timing of those decisions could shape how you approach the game.
Then there’s the stock market and $DEAL, which add more dimensions to the in-game economy. Instead of concentrating on land alone, players have other areas to explore as they figure out their preferred approach.
What makes a virtual economy worth paying attention to is how its different parts interact. The market, the assets people choose to hold, and the decisions they make along the way all contribute to the experience.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the Fomopoly community approaches these opportunities when the game launches. Different players will have different priorities, and that could make the journey through the city more interesting.
Fomopoly is preparing for launch, so this is a good time to get familiar with the project.
A new virtual city is taking shape. I'm ready to see how it develops.

prediction markets are becoming more social, and @bagel_win is bringing several parts of that experience together fr
u can explore markets across sports, esports, crypto and trending events, but what caught my attention is how Bagel brings AI-powered insights and social features into the same mobile experience
u can check out other people's predictions, join conversations around markets, and use diff order types like limit and combo orders depending on what you're looking at
i like having these options in one place.
u can follow a market, see how others approach it, and explore diff ways to participate without switching between several tools.
if you've been curious about prediction markets, Bagel is worth checking out and exploring for yourself.
give it a look 👇

lately been exploring the Rewards Center on @bagel_win, and i like how it gives users more ways to get involved with the platform.
beyond exploring prediction markets, you can earn commissions thru referrals and copy trading, while the badge system and VIP levels give you something extra to work toward as you participate.
i think features like these can make the overall experience more engaging, esp when users have diff ways to interact with the platform and discover what works for them.
another thing i like is having campaigns to follow.
checking what's currently available and keeping up with upcoming opportunities can help you make better use of the features Bagel offers.
of course, it's always worth understanding the commission structure, campaign rules, and eligibility requirements b4 jumping in.
there's quite a bit to explore here, and i'm looking forward to seeing how @bagel_win continues developing its rewards ecosystem.

How do you know a submitted video hasn’t been quietly replaced or changed?
@vangrid_io addresses this by creating a digital fingerprint for each redacted clip and linking it to a small set of capture details.
The record contains the clip’s SHA-256 digest, a coarse location reference called a geohash, the capture timestamp, the contributor’s pseudonymous wallet address, and a session identifier.
Think of it as a way to connect a video to a record of when and roughly where it was captured, without putting the precise coordinates or footage itself into the on-chain record.
The fingerprint is included in a Merkle tree, and its root is anchored to a public blockchain. With the clip and its proof, someone can independently check whether the file matches the recorded digest and whether the record was committed.
There’s a limit, this process doesn’t prove the scene is genuine or that the location is exact. It helps establish the integrity and history of the record.
The value is independent verification, not blind trust in whoever submitted or stored the video.
