projects obsess over whales and forget that shrimps play a huge role as much as whales do
- team focus more on the big guys than the micro users
- whales bring more volumes than shrimps
- shrimps make up for user metrics than whales
it is very important to find a balance between these groups
- if whales leave due to discomfort in your product, it kills volume
- if shrimps leave, it cuts down users metrics and volume
the two groups are your users and product modifications / optimization shouldn't be swayed towards whales or shrimps because their departure will greatly influence your metrics.
find the balance ⚖️
every big winner of each cycle is the survivor of the past cycles
in all ramifications of life, survival is what keeps you in the game long enough for that big win.
nothing might look motivating and especially how teams are more focused on their bread than their users but periods like this are made for winners
you just have to keep driving around this storm cos it's definitely going to be around for a long time
what you do during the storm will matter the most when it is all over
keep your head up frens
we got 4 days left to get the $hotemin summer trials started
nobs has declared that this is not a presale but trials
I hope you've locked in since the beginning cos summer is getting started soon. 🔺
the avalanche community awaits announcement on the trials of $hotemin
keep the memes, vibes, videos, replies and bullposting train going nonstop. summer gets more interesting after the trials.
which tier do you think you'll fall into ?

users are getting value for their time, money, and conviction on Hyperliquid.
the current market might look like a desert, but there are protocols that get you passive income with less effort.
@Kinetiq_xyz is rewarding its users with millions every month through yield and token buybacks.
since july 2025, @prjx_hl has averaged $415k to LPers every month to date. they recently gave out $1m to their community and still have $500k in usdc rewards to give out over the next year.
100% of swap fees go directly to veNEST stakers, and the numbers keep rising on @NestExchange.
there's always a bull market somewhere, and it's happening right where I just stated.
tl;dr: hyperliquid
the evolution of privacy has taken a massive jump since arcium went live on mainnet alpha.
privacy has evolved from simple anonymity tools like monero and zcash into a new generation called privacy 2.0 - enabling private shared state and multi-party computation.
every other privacy solution has ceiling a ceiling. arcium doesn't -
monero / zcash → privacy 1.0, transaction-level hiding, no defi support
railgun / aztec → privacy 1.5, zk-based, evm focused
arcium → Privacy 2.0, encrypted computation, not just hidden transactions
proof that arcium's tech is miles ahead of its predecessors :
the protocol has processed over 860k lifetime computations and still counting
zinc holds the number 7 spot amongst the top revenue apps on solana in the last 24 hours. the dapp has processed over 500k encrypted computations.
umbra now allows users to bridge their funds privately across 32 different chains including hyperliquid. keeping users money movement in incognito.
crafts dev raised over $250k in their first seal bid ico but couldn't meet the $400k benchmark due to market condition but users assured that the tech is real.
encrypted AI has also been achieved internally - waiting for its public launch
highlights above are just the glimpse of what's happening in the ecosystem. the launch of $arx will inject more liquidity into the ecosystem and I can't wait to see how it will impact the growth of Arcium.
in years to come, i see @Arcium as the major protocol teams will consult for privacy solutions. the only hindrance to that will be the choice of chain by the team but that won't be a problem when Arcium covers more chains.
in the meantime, stay <encrypted> and in arx mode...
while you're sidelined on the $hype pump, LPers are carting away insane fees on prjx
the last couple of days have been very good if you have an active position
there seem to be no new lows for $hype as of late but new highs every day
86% of the fees goes directly to LPers. do the match and see what you're missing out on.
something uncomfortable is happening in the Abstract chain ecosystem.
projects are leaving and the chain has gone quiet about it.
from infofi to nfts, gaming to prediction markets, the exits are spreading across sectors.
most are running back to ethereum maninnet or bnb chain. chains where liquidity and users actually exist.
honest take : @AbstractChain rode the pudgy penguin wave hard but couldn't back it up with the fundamentals that could hold devs down.
the real question isn't why they left. it's whether Abstract can stop the bleeding before more follow.
if you got ideas on how these projects exit the chain, drop it in the comments. i'm building a fuller picture.
the current decline of megaeth comes from how the chain has been marketed
firstly, the chain was promoted to be the fastest L2 crypto bros would ever interacted with.
tbh, the testnet experience was even better than what many have experienced on the mainnet.
megaeth was very vocal against the culture of airdrop farming before launching the terminal program
the launch of the terminal program completely eroded their early stance - it attracted mercenary farmers whose aim is entirely on incentives
users couldn't leave genuine feedbacks; the point system, lack of profitable apps and repetitive apps contributed heavily to its decline.
the fluffle nft is another failed experiment :
participants only bought into the sale because of the token allocation it carries.
it might have raised funds and hype for the but it didn't impact user retention.
anyone who paid 1 eth for an nft will definitely want to be in profit.
how can i forget the ico participants who are already seeing huge losses due to how poorly $mega has performed since launch ?
what killed megaeth is simply a change of stance and direction they had from day one
launching the terminal point program was the nail in their coffin. building culture and user retention now will require a lot of work.
despite how generous pengu was to the crypto community, projects are leaving the abstract ecosystem.
if the megaeth team can't find a way to make their users money, i believe this is just the beginning of what's coming.

if encrypted AI has been achieved internally on Arcium, in no time, it will be achieved externally.
what does that means ?
all the AI we use today are trained on data and some of them are trained on sensitive datas
what Arcium just achieved internally is to encrypt the sensitive data these AI needed to be trained on through MPC [ multi-party computation ]
the work of MPC is to split those sensitive data into smaller pieces while builders / companies train their AI with it without the risk of revealing private information
the owner of those data will be protected while the trained AI can make decisions on sensitive data without exposing it to anyone
all of these is made possible with the help of “manticore” - a faster but less paranoid version of secure computation.
manticore requires less security because it's a honest majority and operates with stipulated rules. check below to read more

private data in → useful Ai out → nobody's secrets are exposed.

how wallchain can drive user retention and attention
it's pretty obvious that inf0fi can't make a comeback unless the x team changes their mind
that means, inf0fi platforms will continually stay irrelevant until a change occurs
however, wallchain can still build around one of their product and maximize on it.
their x score is one of the most talked about product during the peak of inf0fi and we all saw how creators worked towards having a high x score in order to rank higher on leaderboards.
strategy :
wallchain could operate as a data source for projects to source creators with good x score for :
→ product wait-list / access
→ nft whitelists / mints
→ presales
→ partnership deals
projects could literally spend less with marketing by getting their hands on the right data and wallchain can be the source for that if it's capitalized on
market mechanics and impact :
you know ct moves when an account have access to a product and the others don't = mindshare and there goes the free PR
nfts have been really hilarious with too many burger profits lately, genuine team can seek out good x profiles through wallchain to whitelist.
projects will be able to figure out who the jeets are through this mechanism and that might revive the “hold” culture
similar mechanics can work with presales too. we've seen this during the avax presale season.
wallchain could also be the intermediary between projects and creators with niche-focused contents.
this experiment keeps the company running, and the channel of opportunities flow through wallchain for creators and infras.
