Just locked up a bunch of $LOAN so it looks like all you @XPRnetwork guys and gals are stuck with me for another 4 years. 🟣 $XPR $METAL
$300T in real-world assets is coming onchain. Not “if.” When. The moment it does, lending markets become the backbone of everything: liquidity, leverage, yield. LOAN Protocol is built for that future.

The important thing to remember is Metal Mini Mart is open for biz. "The mini-mart is open, and people are buying pixel art condoms." minimart.biz ethereum:0xd7efb00d12c2c13131fd319336fdf952525da2af $METAL
I've been getting a lot of messages about what's happening with XPR Network and Metal X, so I wanted to address it briefly. First, my heart goes out to everyone affected. Just know that I personally have investments in this ecosystem as well, so I understand everyone's concerns. I wish I had answers, but unfortunately, I don't know what's going on behind the scenes either. For those who don't know, I haven't been included in the community's leadership discussions for the past several weeks/months. That wasn't my decision, but I've made peace with it and have been focusing on my own businesses and projects. I've spent the past year supporting that ecosystem and introducing people to it through my platform, so seeing what's happening genuinely hurts. I hope we get some clarity and transparency soon. In the meantime, I encourage everyone to direct their concerns to those currently making decisions within the ecosystem. I'm hoping and praying for the best for everyone involved. ❤️🙏

New Forge partner and campaigns coming. Remember, @Ankr Forge offers the best pathway for ethereum:0x8290333cef9e6d528dd5618fb97a76f268f3edd4 holders to participate in the success of Ankr's infrastructure and RPC network. As far as I know, no other infrastructure providers have developed any kind of platform like this. Of course the easiest "campaign" is just to register with the platform and hold the ANKR token. That will at least get you on the board. $ETH
One Forge campaign wraps up. Another is ready to take its place. 👀 The @electroneum campaign ends tomorrow, and we've got the next one lined up. Our next partner is bringing some serious intelligence to the lineup. New project. Fresh missions. More points to stack. A new rewards pool up for grabs. Any guesses who's next?

Bought more $LOAN and staked it for 4 years. Indie neo-banking and lending platforms like @LOAN_Protocol allow people to bypass the traditional brick and mortar banking bureaucracy and essentially "be their own bank." The future is now. ethereum:0xd7efb00d12c2c13131fd319336fdf952525da2af $METAL

"What happens" is that people move to minting and trading tokenized art and collectibles on sophisticated chains like @XPRNetwork where there are zero gas-fees and marketplace fees are insignificant. 🟪 Check out @soon_market and @AtomicHub. ethereum:0xd7efb00d12c2c13131fd319336fdf952525da2af $METAL $LOAN
OpenSea charged 2.5% when it was alone. Blur showed up and fees went to 0 within months. Do the math on what happens when Blur leaves.

A lot of development surrounding Dogecoin now. @DogeOS is being supported by @Ankr infrastructure. Would be cool to see it as an Ankr Forge partner at some point. ethereum:0x8290333cef9e6d528dd5618fb97a76f268f3edd4 $DOGE
You can just build things... For one of the most legendary communities in crypto... Wow 👇

I own one of these. While NFT marketplaces on other chains are shutting down left and right, indie artists are launching collections on @XPRNetwork. The griftcore NFT era is over, but the culture for grassroots and "Lo-Fi" tokenized art is thriving. This VHS art collection is called "Rated D For Don't," and it's on @soon_market. ethereum:0xd7efb00d12c2c13131fd319336fdf952525da2af $METAL
May thanks to whoever bought "BUGS" There are still 9 left and they're all killer no filler. No AI, just good old fashioned Photoshop. A throwback to the horror aisle of 80s video stores that's 100 percent Rated D for DonT ethereum:0xd7efb00d12c2c13131fd319336fdf952525da2af @soon_market soon.market/collection/53453…

OpenSea doesn't have a monopoly on NFT trading. Marketplaces like @soon_market and @AtomicHub on @XPRNetwork are wildly popular with indie artists and collectors. Also, more advanced collections like @DegenHoopers now offer trading directly from the project website. Antelope chains like XPR have always been superior for NFTs because transactions are gasless. ethereum:0xd7efb00d12c2c13131fd319336fdf952525da2af $METAL
Now that Blur (and Magic Eden before it) is shutting down, OpenSea has a monopoly on NFT trading again, and we all know what happens next

They may not make a ton of noise, but @Neura_io continues to build behind the scenes and push further into the brave new world of agentic trading and finance. I certainly spent my fair share of time roaming around the Neuraverse and collecting pulses. 🟢 Excited for what comes next! $ETH
Testnet v1 and the Neuraverse have done their job. Today we're retiring them and building what comes next. We took a full snapshot. Points balances, leaderboard standings, quest completions, activity history, all preserved so nothing is lost. Testnet v1 reached great milestones, 1.6M+ users, 220K+ monthly active, 100M+ transactions, a community of 160K. It confirmed something we'd bet on, people are looking for unique and simplified ways to interact and participate on-chain. That part was right. The AI-native economy has been the thesis. What's evolving is how specific it's become. Agents need somewhere to work and something actually worth doing. Not a buzzword category waiting to be created, the places capital already moves on-chain. Vaults, liquidity, markets. That's where the work is, and that's where we're building. Complexity is part of it. The bigger problem is that the work never stops. Positions drift out of range. Rates cross at 3am. A better opportunity opens and you hear about it four days later. You can't be there for all of it. So: you set rules, risk preference, which venues, how much of each. Strategies are run by named specialists. An agent allocates across them inside your rules, works while you're asleep, and explains every action in plain language. As a flagship venue, our own exchange. Concentrated liquidity with ve(3,3), as the foundational liquidity engine the rest benefits from. Non-custodial throughout. Your funds stay in your own account. The agent works inside the limits you set and can never send your money anywhere but back to you. Agents are optional. Deposit into a venue directly, provide liquidity yourself, or bring your own agent. Open standards that the industry is converging on. The more detailed picture is on the site and in the docs. We're not putting dates on things we can't commit to just yet and the waitlist is where updates land first. neuraprotocol.io Thanks for being here through testnet v1. The best part of it is the part we're taking with us.

These are almost sold out already. Only 2 left, and then you'll have to haggle with people on the aftermarket if you want to score one of these limited edition DogecoinVM Souvenir Key Chains. What can you do with them? Well, if you have any pixel art keys you can put them on there. $METAL ethereum:0xd7efb00d12c2c13131fd319336fdf952525da2af
DogecoinVM Souvenir Key Chain now available at Metal Mini Mart! Nothing can ever replace the real Doge, but her iconic likeness will never stray far from our hearts now that it's been immortalized in this translucent plastic pixelated key chain. (Not actual size) $METAL $XPR

Another reason why @Ankr is winning the infrastructure wars. In this ever precarious climate, projects can't afford to cut corners on security at the infrastructure level. It's really starting to make a difference which RPC providers projects use, in ways that it didn't before. Enhancements like Verifiable RPC (vRPC) are what make Ankr one of the more advanced networks out there right now. ethereum:0x8290333cef9e6d528dd5618fb97a76f268f3edd4 $ETH
Blockchain security has never been more critical. 🔐 As onchain tech advances, so do the threats. This year's exploits are a costly reminder that security must start at the infra layer. That's why networks like @NEARProtocol are adopting Ankr's Verifiable RPC to strengthen security at its foundation. With cryptographically signed and attested RPC data, developers can independently verify the information their applications rely on before acting on it. Don't leave your infrastructure as the weak link.👇

Just my opinion, but I think @LOAN_Protocol should have its own standalone website (even if it just mirrors the current platform) the way it used to. Loan Protocol is too powerful of a brand to be hidden away within MetalX branding. $LOAN ethereum:0xd7efb00d12c2c13131fd319336fdf952525da2af

Added a bit more $METAL (though I still don't feel like I have enough tbh). You're going to start hearing a lot more about @MetalBlockchain in this next bull run, as a lot of the projects Metallicus has been working on finally go live. The DogecoinVM release has already generated a substantial amount of publicity and sparked a lot of healthy debate, and it was only just announced a couple of days ago. Much more to come! ethereum:0xd7efb00d12c2c13131fd319336fdf952525da2af $DOGE
WSX Breaking: Metallicus has launched the alpha version of DogecoinVM on Metal Blockchain, claiming Dogecoin transactions can be processed up to 300 times faster than on the native network. The independent layer is designed to accelerate $DOGE payments without modifying Dogecoin Core, with transactions reaching finality in roughly 0.15–0.25 seconds. Metallicus CEO Marshall Hayner says the development addresses the faster-payment vision previously raised by @elonmusk, while DogecoinVM currently limits deposits to 100 DOGE during alpha testing.

It's been a long time coming, but we might finally be seeing the highly anticipated A-Chain upgrade for @XPRNetwork soon. ⚛️ I personally have never minded the wait because ethereum:0xd7efb00d12c2c13131fd319336fdf952525da2af has worked flawlessly for me all these years in its existing form, and I'd rather they take all the time necessary to get everything right. There's too much at stake (no pun intended). $METAL $LOAN
That’s next. Quiet before the storm.

As many infra projects have gone stagnant or faded away this year, @Ankr has been quietly positioning itself as the leading infrastructure provider in the industry. Ankr is continuously making technical advancements to its global RPC network (agent RPC, Verifiable RPC, etc), which is supporting devs and applications on the most active chains in the space. You can now build on Robinhood chain with Ankr RPCs. ethereum:0x8290333cef9e6d528dd5618fb97a76f268f3edd4 $ETH
More and more of finance is finding its way onchain. Stocks are becoming programmable. RWAs are expanding. AI agents are entering markets. Robinhood Chain is a pretty big signal of where this is all heading. Ankr RPC support is now live. Explore what you can build ↓ ankr.com/blog/ankr-launches-…

It's possible that the publicity surrounding BTC VM and DogecoinVM on Metal Blockchain is leading people to discover @LOAN_Protocol, a top-tier lending platform and one of the best kept secrets in the world of indie banking. 🏦 Loan Protocol: Just use it! $LOAN $METAL $XPR
Someone just brought 1.38 $BTC into @XPRNetwork, about $118K. It was mined in Bitcoin block 970,006. The biggest single BTC wrap since July 2024. Eight minutes later all of it was collateral on @LOAN_Protocol.

Absolutely incredible new mini collection: "Tripops" on @XPRNetwork from @pinacci_JP. I don't think the creator is even intending it as a commercial enterprise. It's just for fun and thrills. I won't be selling mine for less than a million ethereum:0xd7efb00d12c2c13131fd319336fdf952525da2af though. Too much sentimental value to part with these pops. $METAL

Agree with this. Too much focus in the industry on onboarding giga finance "institutions" to do who knows what. Consumer crypto and indie applications are where the energy and action are.
Replying to @0xNairolf
Ironically growing more optimistic about consumer crypto @fomo @Pumpfun @Polymarket @Collector_Crypt ya know only the biggest revenue generating machines in the industry
