Solana DEXs just processed $7.49B in trading volume over the past 24 hours. Even in a choppy market, Solana’s liquidity remains unmatched, showing how deep its DeFi rails have become.

AI won’t solve crypto data. At least not yet. AI tools can help, but they cannot replace judgment. You still have to know what you’re looking at.
Replying to @FoxyhitsW
who's writing these horrible dune queries lol most fomo trades route through intermediate hops and this query books every hop as a loss, pnl's will be obliterated

The biggest competitive edge in crypto is actually giving a f^ck about your community and sticking around.

One of my favorite things about onchain data is that you can hear a narrative all day, then open the data and realize the market is doing something completely different.

JUST IN: The @SolanaFndn has officially open-sourced @tokens, the official directory and API for verified assets on Solana, and is urging developers to clone the repo, build with it, or contribute directly on GitHub.

Even in a choppy market, the Solana ecosystem keeps attracting builders. New projects popping up across DeFi, payments, AI, and real-world assets.

TL;DR - Solana is positioned to take over and become the internet's capital market - We are making progress on our weaknesses in monetary policy and derivatives - Zcash remains the most asymmetric and important opportunity in crypto - I love crypto

Something I’ve been thinking about: Crypto has no shortage of data. The challenge is turning that data into a story people actually care about. Numbers are everywhere. Context is the scarce resource.

Research is one of the most underrated skills in crypto. Great piece on writing better research reports.

This is still relevant in this dip.
Solana DEXs processed $90B in trading volume in a single week. That's ~$10-13B flowing through DeFi every single day.
