Exfil has now surpassed $500k in total trading volume in less than 20 days of launch. This is a completely different interface to most trading apps out there, so it’s even more meaningful imo. This happens once every few years. Exfil will be a top 3 trading app in a few months

Day 19 of building an immersive trading app we never had - Trade pump.fun coins paired with another coin. pump.fun now launches bonding curves that trade against another coin, like solana:6FhVPctYg363pQbs4iSvqyHe2cJzfsvFD96gePy6pump, instead of SOL. Exfil now routes buys and sells on them, and when there's truly no route for an amount it says so instead of reporting a market outage. Live now. - Notifications that read like a trader friend. When someone you follow sells, the push says what they cashed out and how the trade went, like "Cashed out $21.43: −$3.41 (−14%) on the trade", shown only when their entry cost is known. Bag moves and price alerts quote market cap ("Bought at $810K mcap, now $1.2M") instead of sub-cent prices, and every push says what tapping it opens. Live now. - Fewer false liquidity alarms. A pool's dollar liquidity shrinks on its own when the price falls, so "Liquidity dropped" was firing on plain crashes after "down 30%" had already gone out. It now fires only when the pool has fallen well past what the price explains. Live now. - No pushes for dust trades. A followed trader's trade under $1 stays in Activity without a notification. In one day that cut 7 of 74 follow pushes, including a $0.03 exit. Live now. - Meet the new exfil.fun. The homepage is now the hill: a video hero ("Memecoin trading you can see") with store badges, a dive below the waterline, the real app on a phone, the leagues, and the fee split in thirds between rebates, buy-and-burn and operations. Phones see the page too, and exfil.fun/download still goes straight to your store. Live now. - Read a coin's About. A new About tab after Activity in the arena-off view shows the coin's description, website and socials, taken from its DEX Screener listing and launch metadata. Links open outside the app, the tab says this is the coin's own word and unchecked, and a coin with no description says so instead of leaving a gap. Solana coins first. - Tap ⓘ for a real explanation. Holder growth, Net buyers, Dry powder and realised profit now open a sheet that stays until you tap "Got it", instead of grey tooltip text that vanished after 1.5 seconds. The whole row is the tap target, and realised profit gets the ⓘ it was missing. - Learn each screen once. The first time you open the Rat Pyramid or the 100× Race, tap the dev or a family, light up a group or open dry powder, a short sheet explains what you're looking at. Your first trade review explains the fee too: 0.375% each way, with a third back to you in solana:6FhVPctYg363pQbs4iSvqyHe2cJzfsvFD96gePy6pump. - Five groups, always in the same place. The groups strip now always shows Families, Top traders, ≥1% held, Buying and Selling, with the dev first when there is one. Before, 32 groups pushed Buying and Selling off a phone screen. More opens every group, and Groups is now the last tab in the drawer. - Unknown never reads as zero. When a holder read comes back without holding sizes, the size groups say "Holding sizes unknown" instead of "0 · None of 99 checked". A zero now always means every wallet was checked. - Share right after you buy. A confirmed Buy keeps a Share button up for 14 seconds, and it opens your IN RAID card for that bag. It waits for a fresh price, so the card never shows a fake 0% off your own fill. - A fair card for a fresh buy. While a new bag is down only by the buy's own costs (fee, pool fee and price impact), the card leads with your entry, like "BOUGHT AT $1.12M MCAP", with the small move underneath and "Within this buy's own 1.4% costs". Once the price moves past that, or you're up, the card shows your result as usual. - Share without the dollars. Share cards get a Show $ switch. With it off, your result reads as a multiple, like "Out at 1.38× entry" or "Bag at 0.99× entry". - Share any closed trade. Rows in Portfolio › Closed with a known PnL get a Share button that opens the Extract card for the whole position: in, out, the move, time held and date. It reads from Exfil's trading record, so it works for trades made on any phone, and unverified rows say "Estimated PnL". - See your buys and sells on the chart. The coin chart now marks every Exfil trade you made in that coin, B filled and S hollow in your blue, even after you've sold out. Pick a bar to see what you bought and sold in it. - Look before you sign up. Signed out, the Search tab now works: it opens on the coin you're watching and finds trending and searched Solana coins, so you can check holders without giving an email. Buy still asks you to sign in, and the sign-in sheet shows your own rat under "LOCK IN YOUR RAT". - How it works in 15 seconds. The tour is now three beats on a sample hill: every rat is a real wallet, higher up means more unrealised profit, and when rats above you sell, your price moves. - See alerts while Exfil is open. On iPhone, a push that arrives with the app open now shows a banner with sound and stays in Notification Center instead of disappearing. A push about the coin already on screen goes quietly to the list, unless it's an alert you set or a liquidity drop. Alerts switches now use the same words as the pushes, like "Liquidity drops", "Top traders" and "Profitable wallets buying". - Holders in 3D. Every holder in the arena is redrawn in the same 3D style as your scout, across pointed, round and broad bodies, pinkies and sleepers, with a clean outline so they read at arena size. - A fuller arena for less work. Rats can now stand partly behind each other, so the arena shows about twice as many (62 → 126 in our benchmark on five real coins) while an idle arena does 39% less drawing work. Holders wear the strip's signs (a sprout for newbies, old rat, diamond paws) and a light coat based on their wallet, and the rings and lamps glow softly. - Dress your scout. Dress up adds Outfit (kimono jacket, travel cloak or hoodie) and On your back (sheathed sword or bedroll pack). They're free and shared like the rest of your look, so other players see them, and they add no work to the arena's frames. A family member's red kit still wins over an outfit. - Spot your rat in the crowd. Your rat and the rat you select now get an outline that actually shows on phones; before, phones dropped it. Your rat also gets a soft halo. - Tap the rat you meant. A tap now opens the rat whose art is under your finger, not whichever rat's box covered that spot, even when rats overlap. In our audit of crowded arena frames, a tap on a rat opened that rat 99% of the time. - Crowns sit on heads. A top trader's crown now sits on its helmet instead of floating above it, and the ▲/▼ mark sits just over the head, clear of ears and sprouts. - Scroll lists without stutter. With the arena off, the Holders and Clusters lists stop redrawing while you scroll and refresh once you stop, and the chart above stays live. The holders drawer does the same. In our test drags, rows redrawn mid-scroll fell from about 250 to none. - Smoother camera moves. The arena no longer builds a shape for each of the hill's ~2,900 ground faces on every camera frame, and the camera buttons are built once instead of on every frame of a drag.
Day 18 of building a trading app we never had App changes arrive with iOS 1.1.28 and Android 229, both now in store review. Deposit fixes are live for everyone today. - Trade Robinhood Chain coins with USDG. Hold USDG on Robinhood Chain and your buys pay from it automatically whenever it covers the amount; otherwise they use Solana USDC as before. No new buttons, and the review names USDG whenever it pays. - Sell back to where your money came from. Robinhood sells pay out to USDG or Solana USDC based on your latest buy of that coin on this phone, shown in a new "Pays out to" row. Older or unknown bags pay out in Solana USDC. In our live quotes, a $25 sell to USDG returned about $0.25 more than routing through Solana. - Skip the ETH for gas. USDG trades on Robinhood Chain can run gasless, and the review shows "Gas covered by Exfil" when sponsorship is available. When it isn't, your ETH or a small $0.25 USDC top-up pays, as before. - Deposit on every chain you can trade. Deposit now lists Solana, Base, BNB Smart Chain and Robinhood Chain, and each network says exactly what to send and where. - Send straight to your own wallet on BNB Chain and Robinhood. USDT on BNB Smart Chain and USDG on Robinhood Chain go directly to your Exfil EVM address, with no bridge in between. BNB Smart Chain takes USDT only and counts as trading cash; USDG buys Robinhood coins. - Fund from Base. Base deposits now work: send USDC or ETH on Base to a one-time deposit address and it arrives as Solana USDC. Live for everyone, no update needed. - Only networks that lead to a trade. Arbitrum, Optimism and Ethereum are gone from Deposit, because money sent there couldn't be traded. Live for everyone. - See the balance for the network you pick. Deposit shows USDT on BNB Smart Chain, USDG on Robinhood Chain, and Solana USDC and SOL for Solana and Base. - No dead-end deposits. If Exfil can't cover gas for BNB Smart Chain USDT right now, Deposit hides that network and buys stop counting that USDT as spendable cash. Your portfolio still shows its value. - Buy as big as you want. There's no buy cap and no minimum. Amount chips now run up to $100,000 and 100 SOL, Max uses your whole balance, and the amount field handles balances of $1M and above. - Find settings faster. Wallet & Settings now has a Wallet | Settings switch, and the Profile gear opens straight to Settings. - Settings in clear groups. Trading (slippage, price impact), Alerts, Privacy, Sound & help and Account (login email, referral code, wallets, account ID) each get their own card, followed by Support, Privacy policy, Sign out and Delete account. - Know when your balance was read. The wallet shows one status line in your phone's time, like "Confirmed on-chain at 8:47 PM", and a failed refresh says when the amount on screen was last read. - All your addresses in one card. Every network gets one row with its own copy button. - Meet the scout on Android. The Android app icon and Play Store icon now use the same scout as iPhone, replacing the old pixel rat, and the rat stays whole in round and rounded-square launchers. - A clearer App Store name. Pending review: Exfil Arena: Memecoin Scanner, with the subtitle "Holder check before you buy." just warming up

What we shipped in the last 24 hrs: - Choose between the arena and a simpler trading view. The new Arena switch gives you a chart, holder list, activity, and Buy/Sell controls, with music and crowd effects switched off. - Pull the price chart into the centre. Expand it over the hill, explore 4H, 1D, 7D, 1M, and ALL, and keep your preferred layout between coins and app launches. - Inspect holders without losing the trade buttons. The holders drawer keeps navigation and trading within reach, with clearer holdings, entry values, and developer identification. - Track P&L with open bags included. A separate unrealised line uses 15-minute valuation snapshots, while the headline continues to show realised results. - Tag along with a holder. Watch a rat on a coin you hold and receive alerts when its balance drops substantially. Tapping the notification opens Extract; you still confirm the sale. - Make underwater positions visible. Holders who bought above the current price now tread water, including your own rat when your bag falls below entry. Unknown entries aren’t falsely marked underwater. - Spotlight the trades that matter. Notable buys, sells, and returning wallets take the arena’s spotlight. Quiet moments introduce individual holders. - Swipe through holder groups. Each group opens as a deck: its explanation first, followed by individual rats, their holdings, and why they belong. Swiping brings each rat into the spotlight. - Make the arena easier to follow. Captions stay attached to the correct rat, highlighted buyers remain visible near the summit, Genesis folds into an edge tab, and race counts animate between updates. - Simplify the holding screen. Your bag’s value and percentage move lead. Peak reminders appear after a meaningful giveback, with fewer repeated labels and a calmer timer. - Bring back the chunky player rat. Restored the familiar character and fitted its hats, equipment, and share cards to match. - Give the chart a live rat marker. The current-price rat reacts to buys and sells, with reduced-motion support. Reduce swipe interruptions. Arena updates pause during strip and deck gestures, and unchanged group tiles retain their widgets. - Measure performance on real phones. Added per-screen frame reporting to identify slow rendering by device and refresh rate. - Replace blanket coin restrictions with warnings. Token rules and issuer powers now surface as warnings when requesting trades, including previously blocked GOOGLx exits. Quotes still require a usable route and successful simulation. - Route around failing pools. Added retries around venues that refuse swaps and deployed the Meteora exclusion that restored affected buys and exits. - Show stats in the viewer’s time zone. App and website timestamps now use local time, with clearer explanations of daily reporting boundaries. - Cut unnecessary market-data spending. Skip redundant average-buy lookups, cache empty funding results, and serve longer chart windows through Jupiter.
What we shipped in the last 24 hrs: - Make the arena follow your trade. After Drop in, the view centres on your entry, time in the raid, current result, best result, and estimated exit value. - Show who’s ahead of you and behind you. The race compares observed buy prices across the top 100 holders, showing each side’s count and share of supply. Once you enter, it compares them with your entry. - Make the race live and interactive. See recent trades from those holders, tap either side to highlight its rats, and inspect the trader behind a live update. Counts appear progressively while checks finish. - Add price alerts around your entry. Set upside and downside levels, see them on the chart, and receive supported iOS notifications when crossed. Alerts never sell for you. - Make the arena easier to read. Cleaner chart styling, fewer repeated numbers, clearer gains and supply labels, better placement on smaller screens, and distinct watching and in-raid states. - Fix misleading bag P&L. Refundable token-account deposits no longer appear as trading losses. P&L also handles EXFIL rebates, SOL-funded top-ups, and partial exits more consistently. - Show the whole trade’s result after partial exits. Keep realised proceeds and the remaining bag connected, so selling part of a position doesn’t erase the story. - Share past exits and open positions. Reopen Extract cards from transaction history, or share an IN-RAID report showing an open bag’s unrealised result. - Refresh the player rat. A leaner rat, larger EXFIL bag, and oversized headwear carry across the arena and share cards. Exfil players remain recognisable even without custom clothing. - Put contract copying within reach. Copy a coin’s address beside the arena ticker or from Drop in and Extract. Tap the ticker to open Genesis. - Bring Exfil’s growth into view. The new Stats tab and public stats page show volume, trades, and traders over 24 hours, one week, or one month, alongside fees and network costs covered. - Explain trading restrictions more clearly. Coins now give specific reasons when trading is unavailable. Eligible coins with issuer mint or freeze powers can be traded on supported installed builds with those warnings displayed. - Reduce “service is busy” failures. Shared market reads and backoff reduce competition with trade quotes when Jupiter rate-limits requests. - Route around failing liquidity pools. Quotes can retry without a venue that refuses the swap. A production hotfix also excludes the disabled Meteora venue that was blocking buys and exits. - Unstick fee settlement and rewards. Fixed a transaction-reading issue that stalled settlement, allowing the pending batch’s buybacks, rebates, referral payouts, and burn to complete. - Reduce duplicate market-data requests. Feed ranking and holder histories now share reads across requests and servers, cutting unnecessary provider usage.

I spoke with @bajpaiharsh244 from @Zcash about what it will take to make shielded payments practical for everyday use. We discussed the work toward faster payments, the potential for businesses to build payroll, merchant payments and private stablecoins on zcash:native, and what it would take to move beyond being a place to hold funds to a place to spend them. We also discussed Zcash’s plans for quantum-resistant cryptography👇

I sat down with @wellsda2 CEO of @OndoPerps to discuss where financial markets could be heading as trading moves increasingly onchain. We covered the implications of 24/7 markets, onchain derivatives, liquidity and leverage. A few questions I explored: > Could “market hours” eventually disappear for global investors? > Could perpetual markets become a primary way to express views on traditional assets? > What happens when trading collateral itself can generate yield? > And could 24/7 derivatives become an important source of price information before traditional markets even open? We also discussed what still needs to be solved before onchain derivatives can support the scale and sophistication of major institutional markets. A look at how the architecture of financial markets could evolve 👇 – at Singapore

New paper! We fit 24,576 fingerprints into Llama-3.1-8B, two orders of magnitude more than any prior scheme, with no significant performance loss. It allows to experiment with fingerprinted models of expanded capacity that previously had 100x less fingerprints 🧵
