I started building @Salpha_bot to automate my own research, and to give AI coding a try. The MVP went live in mid-April. Five months later, @Salpha_bot is a full research index for on-chain coins. It is used in over 300 group chats, reaching more than 22,000 members. Until now, that index answered one report at a time. Today that changes. Salpha chat is live. Salpha chat puts our entire research index in your hands. Ask it things like: - "List all utility coins that launched on @RobinhoodCrypto today above 100k mcap" - "What is group chat and X sentiment on this coin?" - "List FOMO trader positions and thesis on this coin" Research that took an afternoon of looking through X, group chats and block explorers now takes one message. Inside our community group, Salpha chat is free. Your questions make the product better and shapes what we build next. Outside the community, chat runs as a paid service for your own groups and DMs. To be clear: the free reports are not going anywhere. They are the core of Salpha. We will keep improving the free and paid versions side by side. More chains, more data on each coin, and faster reports for everyone. What we are building is bigger than just a research assistant, though. Coin discovery today is a manual grind. You watch fifty group chats, check the deployer, find who was early, and track which callers have a good record. The best traders do this full time, every day. Most people simply don't have the time to keep up. We are automating that entire process and putting AI on top of it. What took hours now takes minutes, and the edge that belonged to a few full-time degens becomes available to everyone. We think this is how coins will be discovered and traded from now on. This release is only the first version. It only gets better from here.

Arbitrum’s revenue arc is just beginning Annualized @Arbitrum has made $8m in 2026 so far, but i think this will scale much higher very quickly Here’s a quick rundown of each piece: 1. Tx fees are simply what people pay in ETH to use Arbitrum One, w/ more speculation starting to happen, think this trends upwards 2. Timeboost may likely be replaced with PGA (post DAO vote happening rn), which may lead to more revenue 3. Dedicated blockchain revenue (Orbit) is mainly coming from @RobinhoodCrypto rn, but it’s very likely we see this grow as we onboard more clients to their L2s 4. Treasury management consists of yield generated from assets (ETH, stables, RWAs) the DAO treasury holds which will grow as the other sources of revenue grow Lastly there’s another exciting category we have coming soon that may potentially be huge driver in revenue All that capital held within the treasury wherein $ARB holders as a collective have direct control Stay tuned

Since no one was keen on answering this question, I've took it upon myself to build a PUBLIC Dune query which uses FOMO's fee router in order to calculate the total profitability of all active FOMO traders (SOL) in the past 90 days. The numbers: > Out of the 292,531 wallets traded through FOMO in the last 90 days, 18,033 of them are in profit. > Only 6.16% of ALL traders in the last 3 months were profitable. The median trader is down ~$120. As a group they are down $1.26 BILLION. Of the 6% who are green, 88% made under $100. Only 25 out of 292,531 wallets made more than $10K Query is public and linked below: dune.com/queries/8354772 For reference, a "wagering platform" such as Rainbet with a 1% house edge sits at ~37% user profitability over the same time span.
Replying to @seyong
can you share what percent of fomo traders are profitable

This is the shift. AI scales the attacker. Quantum changes the cost curve. Both weaken the old promise: “they won’t have enough compute.” Information-theoretic security changes the premise. QuStream is built to scale security that compute alone cannot break.
☢️You remember? Google optimized Shor's algorithm. The algorithm that breaks asymmetric cryptography (RSA, elliptic curves) once you have a quantum computer with enough Qubits. The US government blocked the paper. So Google published a Zero Knowledge proof instead: a mathematical proof that they have the result, without revealing how. Cryptographic sorcery 🧙 But the Internet is sneaky. Someone launched a contest to re-discover the result with AI. The LLM searches a huge space of circuits (each one a candidate optimization of Shor's), and tests whether it beats the previous best. The clever part: they use the ZKP verifier as the reward function. No false positives, and it turns out to be a very efficient signal. In less than 2 days, the community re-discovered Google's result !!! 🔔15 days later, the LLMs are still improving it. They're already 44% ahead of Google. Hard to say where this stops, ie. what the true minimum quantum complexity for Shor's is. But we will not close the full gap. You still need a Quantum Computer with a relatively large number of qubits. The only thing that changed is that this number drops a little every day, and it has been dropping for 15 days straight.

Really intrigued about the receipts they have I saw changing the name from zkfgsol to turbine cash to zinc cash I saw in their own webpage that the revenues will feed the zkfg treasury I saw in their own telegram the founder said revenues will feed the zkfg treasury I had their before BD on my space saying the revenues will feed the zkfg treasury A refund of $500k was made to the investor who decided to exit The investor who decided to stay, believe in shift boss and absorb the losses gave the team around $400k to operate and it seems they built zinc with that money I can't really wait to see the receipts
Oh, you don't think we have receipts. Just wait

i was early on $ZINC, bought below 100k mc but sold most of it at 10$ after realizing there was a second coin which was supposed to have value accrued to it wasn't ideal at all but now that the zinc team is trying to NOT fullfill its promise to its OG supporters its even worse all this mess is just a $ORE bullcase at this point, because can't be a SoV candidate with such centralized actors
what's the best way to short solana:zinc155BS4mSPk8GXQj4R5hkVDQXcW253pTYq5SGyfi? no matter what happens now its clear that there are deep ethical issues with the team you should expect the token to go to ≈0 once the mania has subsided revenue share doesnt ultimately matter as this project will be worthless within a year

Update: we haven't heard anything from the Zinc founder in more than 24 hours. We are exploring all strategic and legal paths and are committed to doing what we can to create a solution for the relevant stakeholders.
Replying to @FabianoSolana
There are ongoing private discussions I don't want to disrupt and also legal implications of tweeting things publicly What I can say is we're actively pursuing a good resolution here, monitoring the situation closely, and thinking of ways to improve the mechanism to reduce the % of dramatic situations like this in the future Sorry if that's a non-answer, I now understand some of the reasons why corpo-speak exists 🫡

Caught red-handed. After I published this exposé, the @zinc_cash team worked hard to remove any mention of the ZKFG raise and governance that have funded them to build Zinc. See the changes on the page from the original post (no mention of "Shift boss — Market-driven protocol funding". If this is not an admission of dishonesty and wrongdoing, I don't know what is. Truly Orwellian rewrite of history.
Is @zinc_cash rugging their investors? 👇 That's a pretty serious accusation, so let's dive into it. There's a live proposal on @MetaDAOProject from the @zinc_cash team to take the ZKFG private. What's ZKFG, and what does Zinc have to do with it? MetaDAO ZKFG token raise has been funding the @zinc_cash team for 10 months while they were silently building Zinc. (proof in the first reply) The original idea they got funded for (ZK SOL) was a flop. And that's fine; startups try things, and when they fail, they often pivot. But then they pivoted to Zinc, and found a PMF, and decided to... rug the investors? As per Zinc's website, 1% of all SOL volume (10% of 10% protocol fee) should go back to ZKFG treasury (see screenshot), but that NEVER happened. (proof in the first reply) So instead of giving $5.5 m — $55m back to investors (math explained below), they decided to keep silent and try to buy back their investors for peanuts, rather than return some meaningful value to them? 👇

I kept running into the same wall in crypto: you find a token, and all you have is a contract address. Who built it? Why is it moving? What do people actually think? So I started building salpha to do that work for you. You hand it a token, it reads everything and writes you a single research report: the team, the catalysts, the community sentiment, the alpha most people miss, every claim sourced back to where it came from. The deeper reason I'm building it: I think the most interesting frontier in AI right now isn't the models themselves, it's the application layer. Everyone has the same models. The leverage is in taking a narrow, genuinely painful workflow and shaping AI tightly around it. Niche verticals are a wildly underrated design space, and salpha is partly my way of exploring it. It's early, and I'm building in the open. Around 120 people use it on Telegram and ~50 on web, with activity that ebbs and flows day to day. The results are already strong enough that people keep coming back but there's real work left on hallucinations and accuracy, and that's most of where my head is right now. The part I'm actually proud of however, is that it all runs cheaply, on DeepSeek V4 Flash, through meticulous optimization of our input data and our prompts. Getting the most out of AI is in my opinion, data science on what you feed it married to prompts that actually work. App is live now, links are in bio.

New ATHs yesterday with @antseed hitting almost 3B tokens served on the day. On the @AskVenice side of the business, looks like things might be getting real with a wstDIEM @liquid_launcher integration 👀

1.5 Trillion. After being unable to on-ramp funds yesterday to a CEX. Trying with multiple banks. Both transactions got paused and the banks start a huge questionnaire whilst blocking the activity. This all added to why I have an interest in this vertically integrated platform.
717 $WIRE Platform coming together on a weekend👀 Stay tuned for end of month announcement(s) and further details!

Let's talk about agentic AI. More specifically let's talk about a certain agent 👉 $WIRE from @717CapitalAI, part of the @virtuals_io and @base ecosystems. Below, I outline 6 INSANELY bullish aspects about this project. 1️⃣ They’re on the verge of owning/re-opening a real U.S. bank. You read that right. JV vehicle tax filings are complete, capital partner press release is expected any day, team is traveling for final due diligence, and the official “bank re-opening date draws near.” This is no longer rumor, folks. It’s execution phase. Direct Fed access + owned rails turns their OTC settlements from “using third parties” into “own the pipes.” Honestly, in a world of exploding stablecoin/RWA volume, this is the ultimate moat in my eyes. 2️⃣ Real revenue is already flowing, and it’s scaling fast 🔥. Over the last 3 weeks alone they settled $4.127M in volume (multiple 6- and 7-figure USDT/SOL trades almost daily). Latest examples: 🟩 $991k USDT settlement 👉 100k $WIRE bought & burned. 🟩 $480k 👉 another 50k burned. 🟩 $425k 👉 50k burned. This is not promised utility. This is live, institutional-grade OTC settlements generating cash that immediately buys back and burns tokens 🔥 3️⃣ 4%+ of total supply already burned via revenue and burns are slated to accelerate post-bank acquisition 🔥. Every settlement triggers automatic buybacks. They’ve already retired hundreds of thousands of tokens (495k in one 3-week window alone). Once the bank is live, settlement volumes (and burns) are expected to jump dramatically because they’ll control the full stack instead of routing through partners. Pure deflationary pressure at a ~$2-3M MC. 4️⃣ Signature Bank / Signet DNA gives them unmatched institutional credibility in me eyes. The team comes directly from Signature Bank’s Signet platform which was the original 24/7 blockchain-based real-time payment rail that powered Circle, Coinbase, and massive crypto settlements before the 2023 collapse. They’re literally rebuilding the exact playbook that made Signet the gold standard for compliant crypto-tradfi bridging. Ex-Signature execs already launched @N3XTinc doing something similar. 717 is executing the same strategy but with AI agents + token burns baked in. 5️⃣ Direct institutional pipelines already live. Confirmed involvement in Fidelity’s Ethereum-based stablecoin pilot + Circle partnership for settlements. Inbound requests are now coming for things like Anthropic share placements, which was recently noted in their post from April 25th. This isn’t “hoping for flows." in fact, it's the complete opposite 👉 the flows are here and growing. 6️⃣ Positioned at the exact intersection of exploding AI agent commerce + Virtuals and Base ecosystems. As mentioned above, they’re the OTC settlement agent for AI-driven trades on Virtuals, with market intel drops that move volume. The team is now exploring CEX partnerships for autonomous AI market making. Every agent-to-agent trade or Anthropic-style placement that needs instant settlement = more $WIRE burns. Tiny market cap right now, but already a Top 10 Base AI project by activity and only just getting started 👽
