incredible things are happening on the solana blockchain rn

.@_parrotfinance went on Shark Tank earlier this year and got @LoriGreiner + Rashaun Williams onboard. The product is basically social investing follow hedge funds, CEOs, politicians and other investors, then invest around what they’re doing. What stood out to me wasn’t necessarily the “copy politicians and get rich” angle. It was how excited Rashaun was about Parrot as a consumer fintech product. This is someone who invested early in both Coinbase & Robinhood. He’s watched two completely different generations of retail trading take off. And on the crypto/solana side, Axiom + FOMO show how quickly retail trading products can scale when execution is fast and discovery is built into the experience. People want trading to be faster, simpler, more social, and closer to where they already spend their time. IMO FOMO is the much more explosive version of the Parrot thesis, except it actually fits how people trade today. No subscription (like parrot). Just fees on txs. Anyone can use it. Find traders, check their socials, PnLs, theses, trades, listings, then act instantly. No KYC, no waiting, no friction. Trading itself is becoming a social product and crypto has a structural advantage because of the speed, accessibility and efficiency of onchain markets. Social trading is only getting bigger. For memes, @fomo is already crushing it. And for perps + stocks, @Lexur is building directly into the same shift.

gold checkmark will be back shortly

gonna buy a couple and give them to lexur holders whenever they drop

If an asset is already listed on @Lexur, it won’t be tweeted on @LexurListings when another perp venue lists it. A few people have been asking about this, so just clarifying for anyone wondering!

New UI for @LexurListings posts is now live :)

People aren’t even looking at social trading the right way. When you look back at the good ole NFT days, the only reason why it was cool to have a Bored Ape was because you could go on X, have the hexagon pfp, be part of that community, grow your personal account, build a following around it, etc. Nowadays, you make a fomo account, connect your X, hit a crazy trade, people start following you because of it, and slowly you build a community around yourself and your trades. And there’s really no question that being an influencer is one of the most +EV things you can do, if you do it correctly.

By far one of my favourite features we’ve shipped. New listings are one of the most important moments in perps, and traders shouldn’t have to find out about them hours later. @LexurListings tracks new markets across the top Solana perp venues we’ve integrated, Phoenix, Jupiter, Pacifica, etc. The moment something lists, you’ll know immediately and can trade it with leverage through Lexur or directly on the venue that listed it. Better design for these posts coming too. Give me a day max :)
