At Solana Breakpoint 2024, Charles d’Haussy, CEO of the dYdX Foundation, discussed the protocols’s upcoming enhancements and muse on Solana’s growth.
While dYdX, one of the crypto industry’s oldest decentralized perpetual exchanges, runs its own sovereign appchain, the platform recently integrated Solana-based assets into its platform.
The move brought greater exposure to a wealth of Solana ecosystem tokens, allowing dYdX traders to express their opinion on assets like $SOL , $JUP , and $WIF .
Drawing on his rich experience in the industry, d’Haussy made fascinating remarks about Solana culture.
Solana Builder Energy
When dYdX governance moved to include more Solana-based assets via a Raydium integration in June, d’Haussy and the dYdX were hesitant to approach the Solana community.
“When we started to reach out to the Solana ecosystem, I was kind of cautious and trying to be gentle, not knowing exactly how we would be welcome for conversations about possible integration”
From an outside perspective, blockchain tribalism formed a perceived barrier to entry. Chain maximalism is a serious obstacle within the industry, which is further exacerbated by obstinate and outspoken communities on social media.
Fortunately, away from the noise and distractions of social media, the teams actually building these ecosystems are eager to collaborate and push the collectively push the industry forward. d’Haussy remarked that the Solana Foundation was welcoming and receptive to working alongside teams from alternative ecosystems in the pursuit of progress.
“We were really warmly welcomed. I think the Solana ecosystem has showed us, you want to connect to the Solana ecosystem and bring more mindshare to the Solana ecosystem via your own chain? How can we help you?… The Solana Foundation has been extremely welcoming, connecting us to plenty of people. And the builders were also very welcoming.”
“Sometimes Twitter makes you think that this is all tribes and they look at each other from afar. But the reality is the real builders and the people which are in the industry long enough and for the long term, they are very friendly and they want to grow the cake for everyone.”
Additionally, d’Haussy asserted that “Solana is like Ethereum five years ago”, highlighting the energy and hunger shown by developers building innovative products. The CEO drew comparisons between the atmosphere of week’s earlier Token 2049 conference and Solana Breakpoint.
“We are just out of three days of Token 2049, which is much more salesy and marketing and towards trading activities, which is really the audience of DYDX. So, that was perfect, we had a blast over there. Suddenly, you wake up the next morning and you're going to Solana Breakpoint.”
“It's a bit of a shock for me because suddenly we are surrounded by devs. So, there is this kind of change of seasons overnight between the projects and the business development atmosphere of Token 2049 and here the business, the atmosphere of building here at Solana.”
Blockchain tribalism is a regrettable obstacle, but easily overcome. As evidenced by dYdX and the Solana, teams from different chains can always find ways to work together in a way that benefits both parties and further advances the space.

“Sometimes Twitter makes you think that this is all tribes and they look at each other from afar. But the reality is the real builders and the people which are in the industry long enough and for the long term, they are very friendly and they want to grow the cake for everyone.”
Additionally, d’Haussy asserted that “Solana is like Ethereum five years ago”, highlighting the energy and hunger shown by developers building innovative products. The CEO drew comparisons between the atmosphere of week’s earlier Token 2049 conference and Solana Breakpoint.
“We are just out of three days of Token 2049, which is much more salesy and marketing and towards trading activities, which is really the audience of DYDX. So, that was perfect, we had a blast over there. Suddenly, you wake up the next morning and you're going to Solana Breakpoint.”
“It's a bit of a shock for me because suddenly we are surrounded by devs. So, there is this kind of change of seasons overnight between the projects and the business development atmosphere of Token 2049 and here the business, the atmosphere of building here at Solana.”
Blockchain tribalism is a regrettable obstacle, but easily overcome. As evidenced by dYdX and the Solana, teams from different chains can always find ways to work together in a way that benefits both parties and further advances the space.

Solana’s iconic memecoin scene is restructuring. Frustrated by the rampant oversaturation of token launches and a litany of extractive practices, memecoin traders are reevaluating their approach..
Liquidity has evaporated from the memecoin economy, causing dramatic price fluctuations across the board. Abandoning smaller caps, the remaining traders have solidified positions in established coins.
The collapse of smaller memecoins has led market participants to explore alternative trading strategies and take advantage of emerging DeFi applications.
Memecoin Leverage Trading Apps Gain Popularity
Losing patience with the frequent scams, rugpulls, and pump-and-dumps popular on platform’s like pump.fun, Solana meme coin traders are eager for a new meta. The oversaturation of new launches has worn the patience of even the most committed degens, drawing attention back to established memecoins.
Despite their relatively short lifespan, Solana’s veteran memecoins have birthed devout and resilient communities. While these established memecoins remain volatile, their relative stability compared to new launches has seen coins like $POPCAT , $GIGA , and $MUMU enjoy renewed interest and capital rotates away from new launches.
However, these popular coins have arguably already completed the bulk of their run. To maximize potential profits through these coins, traders are turning to applications like Lavarage to add additional weight to their positions.
Adding a layer of dynamism to the memecoin economy, Lavarage supports margin trading positions on over 400 Solana memecoins.
With Lavarage, traders can increase the size of their positions, amplifying their profit and loss. This approach breathes new life into established memecoins and gives traders a new tool in this compelling market.
Ironically, implementing leverage trading into memecion markets might actually make them safer. Traders could be compelled to speculate on established coins, rather than gamble on new pump.fun launches and hope that the coin they’ve chosen is one of the 1.38% that graduate to Raydium.
Lavarage Partners with Backpack - Boosting Rewards
After launching in mid-August, Lavarage’s Tephra Rewards campaign has kicked into gear following its collaboration with Backpack wallet.
Lavarage users who access the application and execute trades via the Backpack will benefit from a 10% points boost. Tephra points are expected to play a key role in determining airdrop allocations ahead of Lavarage’s anticipated TGE (Token Generation Event).
An Unexpected Airdrop?
In a bid to further reward users, Lavarage has partnered with the $NAMI memecoin to distribute $1 ,500 of $NAMI to traders. Over the course of the campaign, 5,325,000 $NAMI will be proportionally airdropped to users as follows:
$1000 worth of $NAMI to users who trade $NAMI with leverage
$500 worth of $NAMI to users who trade any other token with leverage
Currently, Leverage only allows traders to open long positions on its extensive list of tradable assets.
However, moderators in the Lavarage Discord server have indicated that “we have a good idea of how shorting can be implemented”, before conceding that the team “do not have any immediate plan to roll that out

🚨 90,000 options contracts #btc worth $5 .8 billion, as well as options on #eth worth $1 .9 billion, will expire this Friday.
This quarterly expiration is scheduled for 08:00 UTC.
👉 Bitcoin's peak pain level of $59 ,000 could put pressure on prices, according to an analyst at Presto Research.
👉 Maximum pain represents the price where option buyers suffer the greatest losses at expiration. In traditional markets, this level often acts as a point of attraction as expiration approaches.
This is because option sellers, usually institutions with large amounts of capital, adjust their trades to influence the spot price around the point of maximum pain in order to inflict maximum losses on buyers.
👉 Rick Maeda, an analyst at Presto Research, points out that this expiration could lead to bearish pressure as the expiration approaches.

SOLANA BREAKPOINT: The Biggest Announcements From Day One
Hopes were high for some big announcements, but even the most devout Solana maxi wasn’t ready for this.
Over 5,700 Solana fans, users, and bulls descended on day one of Singapore Breakpoint. The biggest conference event in Solana history, Breakpoint delivered a wrath of key updates, with crucial developments announced from both native teams and institutional players.
If you weren’t at Breakpoint, here’s what you need to know:
FIREDANCER LIVE ON TESTNET
Solana users and investors alike were delighted to see Kevin Bowers, Jump Crypto’s Chief Science Officer take the stage to deliver one of the network’s most eagerly awaited updates.
Firedancer, the novel validator client promising to bring unparalleled levels of scalability, decentralization, and security to Solana, is now live on testnet.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Bowers also took the opportunity to outline the development history of the client and its evolution from Frankendancer, an experimental synergy of existing software with Jump’s new codebase, to the optimized final Firedancer product.
To rounds of raucous applause from the Solana faithful, Bowers announced that the existing Frankendancer client is now live on the Solana mainnet.
FRANKLIN TEMPLETON BUILDING ON SOLANA
While existing SOL ETF applications find themselves unlikely to be approved in the short term, that doesn’t mean that TradFi giants aren’t eager to launch Solana-based products to their institutional clients.
Franklin Templeton, one of the world’s largest financial players boasting over $1 .3T in AUM (Assets Under Management) announced its intention to launch a mutual fund on the Solana blockchain.
CITIBANK EXPLORING SOLANA
Franklin Templeton, 21Shares, and VanEck aren’t the only Wall Street players with an eye on crypto’s most performant Layer-1.
Citibank, the fourth largest bank in the United States, shared that it was exploring Solana’s potential, suggesting that seamless money transfers and advanced smart contract composability present unique opportunities in the future.
JUPITER MAKES BIG MOVES
Traditional Finance may have dominated the headlines, but Solana-native DeFi teams also commanded their fair share of the spotlight.
Jupiter co-founder Siong presented an immense range of updates coming to Jupiter’s expansive ecosystem. Crucial announcements included a refreshed v2 perps platform, the reveal of the Ape Pro memecoin trading platform, further details surrounding the Jupiter mobile wallet, and Jupiter’s acquisition of the SolanaFM explorer.
SKY, FORMERLY MakerDAO, DEPLOYS ON SOLANA
MakerDAO, one of the crypto industry’s longest standing DeFi protocols, recently rebranded to SKY, migrating its iconic decentralized stablecoin from $DAI to $USDS . Building on top of the momentum achieved with the rebrand, SKY announced a proposal to leverage Wormhole’s cross-chain infrastructure to bridge $USDS to Solana.
Reinforcing SKY’s desire to be present on the Solana network, the protocol announced an rewards campaign to incentivise deeper liquidity on the network. According to SKY governance, the maximum distribution of weekly rewards is capped at 2M $SKY .
The move helps to bring greater stability to Solana DeFi by providing a more diversified range of stablecoin assets onchain.
Continuing the trend of Solana migration, the Huma Finance PayFi network also announced its intention to launch on the network.

BTC, Bitcoin's local setup is still holding, holding the local support zone. But still, now the main movement is following a medium-term setup, a medium-term pattern. Now the price is just below the middle of this pattern and below 60,000, there has been no consolidation below. The bulls have literally several days to return the level of 60,000 and go above the local resistance zone. Also, the local key zone is 62,000, where there is an open level. Let me remind you that many major players and traders are waiting for September 11th. US inflation data, which can be used to predict a future rate cut on September 18. Two key days in September! There is minimal time left. A market reversal is more than likely to occur during these dates. But don't expect that one candle will reach the highs in one hour! The altseason is 21 years old, the main part of altcoins went to the historical max. 8 months. And a number of other altcoins were moving towards a historical maximum of +-16 months (for example, LUNA). On this squiz, the whales actively bought Bitcoins and took them off the exchanges while the paper snot whined and sold their bitcoins.
the withdrawal from the exchanges exceeds the input - 40%, 17,000 btc
Altcoins, the month of September will be key, an additional set of altcoins will be closer to September 11th. It is on the dogosrok-the average day. The turnaround will be fast and many will bite their elbows. But there is still time and perhaps one of the last chances. Let me remind you that we are at the beginning of a new cycle!

In a move that could significantly reshape the Solana DeFi landscape, Renzo Protocol and Jito Network have joined forces to introduce $ezSOL , the first-ever Liquid Restaking Token (LRT) on the Solana blockchain. This groundbreaking partnership combines Renzo's expertise in liquid restaking with Jito's MEV-enhanced validator network, promising to unlock new levels of capital efficiency and yield optimization for Solana users.
JITO'S RECENT FORAY INTO RESTAKING
This development comes just weeks after Jito, a leading Solana liquid staking protocol, officially entered the restaking market. The protocol released Jito Restaking, an open-source module designed for the Solana blockchain, supporting both staking, restaking, and LRTs. This move signaled Jito's ambition to expand its offerings and capitalize on the growing interest in restaking within the Solana community.
Renzo brings a wealth of experience from successful Ethereum protocols like EigenLayer and Symbiotic, where it currently boasts a TVL of $1 .28 billion, having reached a peak of $4 billion in June.
UNDERSTANDING LIQUID RESTAKING TOKENS(LRTs)
Restaking, a concept gaining traction on Ethereum, allows users to restake their staked assets to secure additional networks and protocols, thereby earning additional rewards. LRTs take this a step further by providing users with a liquid representation of their staked assets, which can be used across various DeFi protocols while still earning staking rewards.
$ezSOL : UNLOCKING NEW POSSIBILITIES
$ezSOL , minted using JitoSOL as the underlying staked asset, leverages Jito's MEV-enhanced validator network to offer users the potential for compounded rewards from staking, restaking, and MEV extraction. This unique combination makes $ezSOL a powerful tool for maximizing yield within the Solana DeFi ecosystem.

Their goal is clear: to put you to sleep and then make you surrender through boredom.
👉 The plan is to create a period of stagnation or low activity to decrease engagement and interest. Meanwhile, they work behind the scenes to prepare their next big move. Once general interest has waned and investors have become less vigilant, they launch a new wave of euphoria.
👉 This price increase attracts not only new investors, but also those who panicked and sold during the boredom period. These buyers provide the liquidity needed for those who orchestrated this strategy to sell their positions at high prices.
👉 By selling at the height of the euphoria, they make significant profits on the liquidity provided by those who were attracted by the price rise. Ultimately, new investors are left with devalued assets when the wave of euphoria ends and prices fall following massive selling by whales and institutions.
Their strategies are essentially based on manipulating investors' emotions to maximize the manipulators' profits, to the detriment of those caught in the trap of excitement and FOMO.

🗣️ “The problem I have with MiCA is that instead of making the system safer, it actually creates an incredibly large systemic risk”
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino expresses concerns about MiCA, which poses a systemic risk not only to stablecoins, but also to the broader banking system.
The MiCA regulation, which came into force on June 30, imposes strict limits on stablecoin operations in the EU.
In particular, it requires that at least 60% of the reserves backing stablecoins must be held in EU bank accounts.
He further pointed out that EU cash deposits are only insured for a maximum of $100 ,000, an amount insufficient for large stablecoin issuers like Tether

BTC, rebound from the drop from yesterday. It's happening right now. Bitcoin has already recovered 6,500 thousand from the bottom of the correction. Overall, it looks pretty confident, but it's still a rebound. The medium-term uptrend was lost yesterday on the squiz. There are only 2 long-term trends right now. see the graph. Their re-test is a medium-term support area. Now the situation with the restoration of the level of 60,000 will not change much, even if it reaches 65,000. If in the near future, no more than a week, and a maximum of 2, we do not break through the zone of the key resistance zone, then the continuation of the flat with corrections will continue. Now the task of the market maker and the whales is to break through this zone as quickly as possible and gain a foothold above. Why is this so, because those who were eliminated, those who managed to get out of positions, logically should not have time to enter again at the same prices, but go much more expensive.
the input to the exchanges exceeds the output -
8%, 2400 btc
Altcoins, yesterday on squiz reached the top level on the capitalization of Altcoins, the level of panic sales. Who remembers from the video, this was noted. There are still levels slightly lower from below, but in fact they will not change the situation much, especially for a long-term portfolio! The ascending lines on Total 2 and Total 3 were also achieved and tested on the squiz, a re-test took place precisely along the Fibonacci lines and not a physical re-test. It also says that we are very very close to the bottom or already at the bottom. Since even the fibonacci line of 0.618 is already suitable for re-testing and determining the day. But still, the bottom is the zone between 0.618 and 0.786 fibonacci lines.

After causing significant congestion issues across the Solana network in April, the ORE mining protocol returns to “revive the long lost dream of crypto as p2p electronic cash.”
Love it or hate it, Proof-of-Work crypto mining is returning to Solana. ORE, the wildly popular mining protocol that besieged the Solana blockchain in April is returning, promising a revised and more egalitarian approach to distribution.
With ORE price climbing over 100% in anticipation of the relaunch, the question needs to be asked: What will be different this time around?
ORE v2: WHAT'S DIFFERENT?
Pseudonymous founder HardHatChad launched ORE as an experimental Solana hackathon project in April 2024. Leveraging a Proof-of-Work mining concept on a high throughput Proof-of-Stake blockchain, HardHatChad aimed to create a truly fair token launch.
In a matter of days, the Ore protocol objectively became the most used program in the Solana ecosystem at the time, generating over 12M transactions between 124k+ users.
However, due to flaws within the project’s model and network congestion issues caused by the ORE mining, HardHatChad opted to pause mining to focus on redevelopment. Despite the chaos, OreSupply took home the grand prize at the Solana Renaissance Hackathon.
After months of development work behind the scenes, HardHatChad has teased the relaunch of ORE v2. Courtesy of several key changes, the passionate founder renews his mission to “revive the long lost dream of crypto as p2p electronic cash.”
HERE'S WHAT TO EXPECT:
• No Admin Variables - The revised protocol will rely on open-source algorithms to manage all program variables, such as mining difficulty.
• Mining Multipliers - Staking ORE tokens gives miners a rewards multiplier of up to 100%, based on their proportional stake. This only applies to miners submitting valid hashes and cannot be abused through flash-loans.
• Fixed supply - Like Bitcoin, ORE has a fixed maximum supply of 21M. One ORE will be issued per minute, projecting a fully emitted supply by 2064.
• Sybil Protection - In the relaunched protocol, miners will maximize rewards by submitting the most difficult hash possible. This is expected to discourage sybil miners and mitigate network congestion.
• Accessible Hash Function - A new hash function closes the performance gap between high-end hardware and consumer devices, lowering ORE mining’s barrier to entry.
• Client Software - OreSupply has revamped its software to improve performance and reliability. HardHatChad also promised to launch client software that will be compatible with the Solana Saga mobile device.
• Immutable Contract - Once mining dynamics have stabilized, the OreSupply contract will be permanently frozen, meaning that no further changes can be implemented to its code.
The OreSupply team hopes that by implementing these changes, the protocol will be better suited to wider adoption within the Solana ecosystem.
Love it or hate it, Proof-of-Work crypto mining is returning to Solana. ORE, the wildly popular mining protocol that besieged the Solana blockchain in April is returning, promising a revised and more egalitarian approach to distribution.
With ORE price climbing over 100% in anticipation of the relaunch, the question needs to be asked: What will be different this time around?
ORE v2: WHAT'S DIFFERENT?
Pseudonymous founder HardHatChad launched ORE as an experimental Solana hackathon project in April 2024. Leveraging a Proof-of-Work mining concept on a high throughput Proof-of-Stake blockchain, HardHatChad aimed to create a truly fair token launch.
In a matter of days, the Ore protocol objectively became the most used program in the Solana ecosystem at the time, generating over 12M transactions between 124k+ users.
However, due to flaws within the project’s model and network congestion issues caused by the ORE mining, HardHatChad opted to pause mining to focus on redevelopment. Despite the chaos, OreSupply took home the grand prize at the Solana Renaissance Hackathon.
After months of development work behind the scenes, HardHatChad has teased the relaunch of ORE v2. Courtesy of several key changes, the passionate founder renews his mission to “revive the long lost dream of crypto as p2p electronic cash.”
HERE'S WHAT TO EXPECT:
• No Admin Variables - The revised protocol will rely on open-source algorithms to manage all program variables, such as mining difficulty.
• Mining Multipliers - Staking ORE tokens gives miners a rewards multiplier of up to 100%, based on their proportional stake. This only applies to miners submitting valid hashes and cannot be abused through flash-loans.
• Fixed supply - Like Bitcoin, ORE has a fixed maximum supply of 21M. One ORE will be issued per minute, projecting a fully emitted supply by 2064.
• Sybil Protection - In the relaunched protocol, miners will maximize rewards by submitting the most difficult hash possible. This is expected to discourage sybil miners and mitigate network congestion.
• Accessible Hash Function - A new hash function closes the performance gap between high-end hardware and consumer devices, lowering ORE mining’s barrier to entry.
• Client Software - OreSupply has revamped its software to improve performance and reliability. HardHatChad also promised to launch client software that will be compatible with the Solana Saga mobile device.
• Immutable Contract - Once mining dynamics have stabilized, the OreSupply contract will be permanently frozen, meaning that no further changes can be implemented to its code.
The OreSupply team hopes that by implementing these changes, the protocol will be better suited to wider adoption within the Solana ecosystem.

Solana’s vast staking ecosystem continues to offer a generous bounty of rewards and utilities. The network’s burgeoning DeFi activity has amplified blockchain revenue, flipping Ethereum in yet another key metric.
Meanwhile, the consistent growth of Solana LSTs (Liquid Staking Token) appears to be plateauing, with net LST flows turning negative on weekly and monthly timeframes.
SOLANA FLIPS ETHEREUM ON REVENUE GENERATION
Off the back of a massive month of DeFi trading activity, Solana’s network revenue has surpassed Ethereum’s on a daily timeframe.
According to Artemis data, Solana has slowly closed the gap on Ethereum in terms of revenue generation before finally surging past its biggest rival. On July 28th, the Solana network generated over $1 .2M in revenue, lending credibility to the network’s economic model.
This is good news for Solana validator operators and stakers. Not only does surging revenue translate to greater earnings for stakers, Solana’s increasing transaction counts also burn SOL tokens. Burning 50% of every transaction fee, this mechanism helps to counter SOL issuance and inflation, building a more sustainable token economy.
SOL TOKEN BURNS
Based on the last seven days of Dune Analytics data, the Solana token burn mechanism has burnt 38,145 SOL, currently valued at over $6 .92M. Despite burning over 5,000 SOL per day, the Solana network still issues just over 160,000 SOL through validator rewards.
LIQUID STAKING FLOUNDERS
Solana’s thriving liquid staking economy has enjoyed immense growth throughout the year. However, the TVL (Total Value Locked) of liquid-staked SOL has dropped over the last 30 days, signaling that interest in LST assets has plateaued.
According to Dune Analytics data, the total number of SOL staked through LSTs reduced by over 128k in the last 30 days, with 42.41% (45,411 SOL) of that figure being withdrawn in the last 7 days.
This decrease is likely due to the withdrawal of capital from Sanctum’s popular LST ecosystem, which attracted over $1B in TVL from depositors in anticipation of Sanctum’s initial CLOUD airdrop.
In a bid to attract more liquid stakers to their validator, Jupiter implemented a dramatic change in their fee structure. On July 22nd, Jupiter announced that 80% of block rewards would go to jupSOL, increased from 50%.
Meanwhile, Step Finance launched another addition to its growing ecosystem. In collaboration with Sanctum, Step Finance unveiled its proprietary LST, stepSOL, which provides holders with STEP reward options on top of all the existing benefits of liquid-staked assets.
THE RETURN OF NATIVE STAKING??
With attention shifting away from LSTs, this may be an excellent opportunity for the Solana community to explore native staking. While not offering the flexibility of liquid staking, native staking provides greater security and peace of mind for SOL stakers.
One of the longest-serving DeFi protocols in the ecosystem, Marinade Finance offers one of Solana’s most powerful staking services. Optimized to provide stakers with the best possible staking rewards across an aggregated pool of leading validators, Marinade offers Solana’s only automated non-custodial staking tool.
What’s more, novel features like Marinade’s Stake Auction Marketplace and Protected Staking Rewards ensure users maximum rewards, while benefitting from the inherent security of native staking.
At press time, Marinade Finance is Solana’s most popular staking provider, attracting over 147k unique accounts. Offering comprehensive support for Solana staking, Marinade has attracted over $1 .4B in TVL, with 32.15% of this figure directed to native staking according to Dune Analytics.
Between Solana’s explosive revenue generation and the vast range of staking products available in the ecosystem through projects like Marinade, there’s never been a better time to stake SOL.

Breaking new all-time highs in TVL every month this year, Solana LSTs (Liquid Staking Tokens) have established themselves as one of the fundamental pillars of the ecosystem.
Yet, despite its growing popularity and the wealth of benefits, only 6.4% of all staked SOL is liquid staked, suggesting plenty of Solana users still have some lingering questions about LSTs.
What is liquid staking on Solana? How do Solana LSTs work and why should Solana users consider leveraging LSTs to optimize their DeFi strategies?
With one of Solana's longest-standing protocols launching liquid staking services, there's never been a better time to refresh your knowledge.
What is Liquid Staking MEV?
MEV, or Maximum Extractable Value, is an umbrella term that covers a range of profit-generation strategies and arbitrage opportunities that occur within block production.
For example, by rearranging the order of transactions within a processing queue, MEV tools can profit from mismatched prices in liquidity pools across different DEXes. Some Liquid Staking providers, like Jito, eliminate MEV spam transactions and pass these rewards on to stakers, effectively boosting their staking rewards.
To date, Jito has captured over 31,000 SOL in MEV fees, sharing a percentage of these fees with over 100,000 active accounts who liquid stake their SOL tokens through the Jito protocol.
What are the Benefits of Liquid Staking?
Liquid staking has become a key component of Solana’s DeFi landscape, and for good reason. Here’s why:
1. Earn staking rewards without locking SOL - Solana LSTs make it possible to continue earning generous staking rewards, without losing immediate access to your staked assets.
2. Expanded liquidity and DeFi strategies - Users can leverage their LSTs to capitalize on DeFi yield generation strategies, while still earning staking rewards.
3. Contribute to Solana’s security and decentralization - By liquid staking SOL tokens, users help to further decentralize and secure the Solana network by delegating SOL across a variety of validators.
What are the risks of liquid Staking?
While there are plenty of reasons to use liquid staking on Solana, it’s not without its flaws. Some of the risks associated with Solana LSTs include:
Smart contract risk - LST protocols rely on smart contracts to operate. If any of these contracts is exploited by a malicious actor, stakers could be a
risk of losing their funds.
LST price depeg - Despite typically maintaining their pegged value, LST tokens on other blockchains have fallen victim to temporary price depegs in the past. This could be problematic during black swan events or periods of market turmoil.
Where Can I Liquid Stake my SOL Tokens?
Now that you’ve got a better understanding of how liquid staking on Solana works, let’s recap some of the most reliable and trustworthy liquid staking providers in the market

👉 Mircea Popescu, the man who held 1 million Bitcoin, found dead in Costa Rica.
On June 23, 2021, Mircea Popescu, a 41-year-old Romanian and Bitcoin maximalist, was found drowned off the coast of Costa Rica.
The man who claimed to hold 1 million Bitcoin is dead and his death raised many questions... What if it wasn't a drowning?!
The man who challenges institutions.
In 2012, Popescu created MPEx, a Bitcoin securities exchange.
The platform is very successful and quickly becomes a hub for the first Bitcoin IPOs.
Popescu gained a reputation as an early and vocal opponent of cryptocurrency scams.
He was quickly in the sights of the SEC, which accused him of providing tools to scammers via his Mpex platform.
Indeed, one of the most popular gambling sites of the time, Satoshi DICE, is registered on its platform.
But Popescu was known for mocking the SEC, all of whose correspondence he posted on his blog.
A holder too dangerous for Bitcoin?
“I like Bitcoin because I like freedom. It’s that simple,” Popescu said.
One of the theories about his death arises from the fact that Mircea held 1 million BTC.
Technically, if Popescu sells his 1 million Bitcoin, the price of BTC will drop drastically!
So in the minds of some, this power must be taken away from him, and if we cannot obtain what he has, then we must prevent him from having access to it...

The Open Network has been a rare rocket ship during choppy markets 🚀
Here's how you can get started with the chain 👇
It's been hard to miss the rise of $TON over the past few months
Thanks to its integration with Telegram
& persistent price action The Open Network ecosystem continues to gain traction rapidly
These are the most active areas in the ton_blockchain
:
🎮 Telegram-Based P2E Games
Gaming has become a stand-out feature for TON, first with Notcoin and now with other games like CatizenAI and Hamster Kombat.
In summary, gaming on TON, whether through Catizen or Hamster Kombat, offers some (very) simple entertainment and real-world rewards, making it an attractive option for early speculators.
🔒 Liquid-Stake your TON for additional rewards
Like most PoS ecosystems, liquid staking with Tonstakers or Bemo Finance lets you use your TON to earn additional rewards.
- bemo_finance is another non-custodial liquid staking protocol on TON. It allows users to stake TON tokens and receive $stTON tokens in return that can be freely used in DeFi and increase in value as staking rewards are earned.
Both Tonstakers and Bemo Finance offer excellent opportunities for users to earn rewards through staking, making them valuable tools for maximizing your TON holdings.
🫳 Swap tokens on DEXs
DEXs lie at the center of TON’s DeFi ecosystem to drive the network forward, particularly http://STON.fi and DeDust.
💰 Lend through money markets
Lending platforms on TON offer additional ways to leverage your assets and turn a profit.
- evaaprotocol is a lending platform on the TON network that allows users to lend and borrow assets like TON, stTON, $tsTON , and $USDT directly from Telegram.
With double-digit interest rates for TON and USDT, the platform stands out as a competitive option for participating in DeFi and earning additional yield on your TON — way higher than with staking! The protocol currently has an XP points program, which can be later burned in exchange for the $EVAA token when it launches.
-

Is OP_CAT the missing piece for BTC L2s?
This opcode has everyone talking; what does it do?
A beginner's guide 👇
Bitcoin L2s are the talk of the town, but not much of their promise has been realized yet.
What are Bitcoin's builders waiting for?
One significant proposal could help mature the Bitcoin L2 landscape: the reintroduction of OP_CAT. This opcode, which was disabled early in Bitcoin's history, could unlock new capabilities and pave the way for more sophisticated and trustless Bitcoin L2 solutions.
Let's dig into why this opcode could be so transformative for BTC 👇
What is OP_CAT?
Okay, so why is this seemingly random opcode so controversial? OP_CAT, or "Operation Concatenate" is an opcode in Bitcoin's scripting language that allows for the concatenation of two data elements.
Initially proposed by Satoshi Nakamoto, OP_CAT was disabled in 2010 due to security concerns related to its original implementation, specifically potential denial-of-service (DoS) attacks caused by unbounded memory usage.
The introduction of the Taproot upgrade in 2021 has mitigated these original concerns. Taproot enforces a maximum stack element size of 520 bytes, addressing the memory usage issue that led to OP_CAT's deactivation. With this security improvement and resurgent Bitcoin development interest, thanks to Ordinals and Runes, a movement to reintroduce OP_CAT to enhance Bitcoin's scripting capabilities is gaining steam, aiming to put more complex transaction capabilities in reach.
Are Covenants and Smart Contracts Different?
One reason why OP_CAT is so compelling is because it can actualize covenants, i.e. spending conditions, on Bitcoin. Covenants and smart contracts are both mechanisms for controlling the flow of funds in a blockchain network, but they operate in distinct ways.
Covenants:
Purpose: Restrict how funds can be spent in future transactions.
Functionality: Implement specific spending constraints, such as limiting addresses or setting conditions on fund transfers.
Complexity: Generally involves simpler, deterministic logic without loops or complex computations.
Implementation: Can be implemented using Bitcoin Script with enhancements like OP_CAT.
Smart Contracts:
Purpose: Automate a wide range of processes and transactions.
Functionality: Handle complex tasks such as decentralized exchanges, token issuance, and multi-party agreements.
Complexity: Support complex conditional logic, including loops and intricate computations.
Implementation: Commonly implemented on platforms like Ethereum using high-level programming languages.
Why Does OP_CAT Matter for Bitcoin L2s?
OP_CAT would prove crucial for advancing Bitcoin L2 solutions because it enhances the scripting capabilities needed for more complex and trustless Bitcoin infra. First, OP_CAT allows for covenants, enabling the construction of more complex scripts. This is essential for creating advanced transaction conditions and functionalities required for L2 solutions.
Additionally, if OP_CAT is activated, projects like StarkWareLtdare on standby to develop atop it. StarkWare has plans to leverage OP_CAT for bringing zero-knowledge (ZK) scaling to #Bitcoin to enable advanced financial instruments and apps on the network. StarkWare’s involvement here underscores the broader ecosystem's readiness to capitalize on the enhanced capabilities that OP_CAT would introduce.
As such, as the community continues to explore and test the possibilities around this proposal, the future of Bitcoin L2s looks promising and ripe with potential. At this point, reactivating OP_CAT seems like a matter of when not if!

As such, as the community continues to explore and test the possibilities around this proposal, the future of Bitcoin L2s looks promising and ripe with potential. At this point, reactivating OP_CAT seems like a matter of when not if!
