🚨 New Record: Largest Ever Premia Volume! 🚨
With just a few weeks until the U.S. elections, markets are in full swing, and today we saw something huge—the largest premia volume in Carmine Options history, beating the August 2nd record! 📈
🛑 99.5% of today’s volume came from put option buyers—a clear signal that people are preparing for potential volatility ahead. 🌪️

🔍 Some key stats to take into account:👈
- STRK volatility: Chart 1 - STRK price swings over the last month
We can also see the strong support level at $0.35 for $STRK.
- Altcoin Market Cap Trends: Chart 2 - Market cap shifts of altcoins in the last 3 months
As volatility rises, so does the demand for options.
But here's the best part with Price Protection—you don’t even need to hold the exact amount of STRK or ETH in your wallet to hedge yourself.
With options expiring on Nov 1 and Nov 8, you can easily protect any amount.
💡 How does it work? If the price drops below your protected level, USDC is credited straight to your wallet. It’s that simple. 📥
Disclaimer: This is not financial advice and you should always DYOR. 🙂
🎯 Markets are heating up, and with the U.S. elections just 3 weeks away, buckle up! 🎯
☑️ Volatility is surging, and
☑️ History shows that market turbulence often hits a peak around elections.

🌀 Why does this matter?
We’ve seen it firsthand: the premium on options is skyrocketing.
👉 xitter.cf/MHauzr/status/18471724…
Yesterday alone, we recorded the second-highest amount of options premium paid in our history. With the VIX on the rise, traders are using options to protect their portfolios.
🔍 So, what’s happening?
Investors are flocking to options—using them as a critical tool to hedge against the market swings.
This user made over 23% in less than 2 days. That is pretty cool especially when you consider that just holding the asset would have netted him a -8.56% during the same period. 👇👇

The numbers don’t lie.
💡 Why use Price Protection now?
Price Protection is your shield against unpredictable market drops—just in time for what could be one of the most volatile periods in recent history.
We’ve seen record premium payments, reflecting the market’s demand for protection.
⚠️ As the U.S. elections approach, market volatility will only intensify—don’t leave your portfolio unprotected. Secure your assets now and hedge against the swings before it’s too late.
If they can do half what you did in the past, it will be a success

That's what we did. That's how we got first moderators and so on... 4 years ago
Groundbreaking news: another bull market might be starting.
Also groundbreaking: most of you reading this are not founders, not devs, and not about to become either in the next 6 months. Relax. There's still a seat at the table — it just requires talking to people instead of shipping code, which, let's be honest, is the easier skill for most of us.
If you're a mod, a content creator, an "influencer" (still a word we all pretend not to cringe at), here's the menu.
Option 1: The safe, boring, actually-fine option. Take a fixed fee. ~$100/project/month, stack a few projects, land around $500/month. More if your following is actually big. Reliable. Forgettable. Still hard to do these days... Basically a part-time job that happens to involve Discord emojis.
Option 2: The unhinged, higher-variance option. Join a team early — as a mod, even — and get paid when the project raises or makes revenue. Slower start. Way bigger ceiling. Last cycle, the people who did this made around $40k and more over 12-18 months per project, and most of them picked up a fixed fee halfway through anyway. So really it's not "Option 1 vs Option 2," it's "Option 2, eventually with Option 1 attached." Very sneaky. I respect it.
The bear market, for the record, was long in the way that only bear markets can be — grim, endless, spiritually corrosive. And in it, a very funny thing happened: a pile of genuinely good projects sat there starving for capital, absolutely swimming in "we need ambassadors and mods but have $40 in the treasury." That gap is still open. Walk into it.
Here's the actual move, and it's shockingly simple: go read the last Colosseum hackathon submissions. All of them. Find the good founders. Then — and this is the part people skip because it feels vaguely humiliating — just message them. Colosseum publishes their contacts, so there's no detective work required, only the willingness to send a cold DM like a normal person.
Ask how they're doing. Ask if they're still building (a surprising number still are, which tells you everything). Ask how you can help.
Do NOT ask for money. Not yet, not vaguely, not "hey so hypothetically." The instant a founder smells "I will do 20% of an effort and then invoice you," the conversation is dead, and it deserved to die. This is a long game dressed up as small talk.
So: act like a VC. Except instead of a term sheet, you're investing evenings. Hop into their Discord, their Telegram, actually talk to people, actually help onboard users, actually keep them around — which, unfashionable opinion, is a real skill and most projects are terrible at it. Post about them. Bring a friend or two. Introduce them to other founders who might be useful, and vice versa — turns out early-stage builders love being connected to other early-stage builders, who knew.
Do this consistently and eventually — not immediately, eventually — a conversation about equity or an airdrop plus a fixed rate shows up on its own. You won't even have to force it, which is the whole point.
Funny enough, this is the exact playbook web2 developers used to break into web3: work for free first, get good, get known, get hired. Same trick, different spreadsheet.
Anyway. Go read some hackathon submissions. Send an awkward first DM. See you in 12 months, presumably slightly richer and definitely more tired.
Our friends from supervega launhed. Good luck. Looking forward to observing your success.
SuperVega is live on public beta today.

Pick a price target and a date: BTC, ETH, ZEC, STRK (and more coming). If the price touches your target, you profit.
On Starknet, works with any EVM wallet or social login.

The biggest winner of the Lighter TGE? StarkWare/Starknet.
Every Perp powered by it has been up only since then:
> Extended: ~$1B → >$1.5B daily volume
> Paradex: ~$1B → >$1.5B
> edgeX: ~$2B → ~$3B
That means StarkWare now powers ~20% of the entire Perp market, with over $180B in monthly volume. So, StarkWare is now the leader here.
Higher for longer lads.
Make it make sense 💁
Bitwise announced new crypto ETFs with a @Starknet ETF in the works 👀
Institutional demand 🔜
What justifies this?
Despite being 80% down from the past year, Starknet has constantly been shipping, building and now we hold over 1700 $BTC courtesy of the BTCfi initiative.
Privacy , scaling with speed and the fact that over 23% of the circulating supply is staked signals long term conviction in the ecosystem 🫵
$STRK at this price range seems undervalued. We can't write off a few more green candles for $STRK 😉
