[Aqua @Aqua_Launchpad]

Introducing https://t.co/ycEWSuZUDE

The first ever Stock-paired token launches on Orca, built to reward the people who hold.

Choose your pair and your token deploys directly into a @orca_so Whirlpool.
Live from the first block, tradeable across every terminal you already use.

Every trade builds stock rewards for holders, weighted by how long you've held.

Launch on Aqua. 💧

[Aqua @Aqua_Launchpad]

Dear Aqua family 🌊

Just 5 days in and we reached several new milestones today - and it’s especially exciting to already see the first projects being built with Atlantis Studio.

A few updates from across the Aqua Protocol:

💎 $11,400+ distributed to solana:AQVcP67EpMyu4cBZZjqMu91cVsWy1aX98JmcZm1FyY9 holders

More than $11.4K in rewards has now been paid out to holders. Considering the trading volume solana:AQVcP67EpMyu4cBZZjqMu91cVsWy1aX98JmcZm1FyY9 has generated so far, we believe the reward-to-volume ratio is one of the strongest aspects of the protocol, making sure that supporters and holders are rewarded fairly.

📈 $1.5M+ all-time trading volume across Aqua Markets

We’ve crossed $1.5M in total volume - an important milestone considering Aqua is still in its earliest stage.

It might not seem too much, but so far, our focus has primarily been on building: shipping new features, improving the frontend and backend, and strengthening the infrastructure before putting more resources behind growth and partnerships.

🔥 $6,284+ in solana:AQVcP67EpMyu4cBZZjqMu91cVsWy1aX98JmcZm1FyY9 buybacks

More than $6,284 worth of solana:AQVcP67EpMyu4cBZZjqMu91cVsWy1aX98JmcZm1FyY9 has already been bought back, while the dedicated buyback wallet currently holds 20+ SOL reserved for future protocol buybacks.

Our approach is to deploy buybacks strategically, accumulating solana:AQVcP67EpMyu4cBZZjqMu91cVsWy1aX98JmcZm1FyY9 through protocol-generated revenue and progressively removing acquired supply from circulation.

We’re just getting started. For now, the product has been the priority - the growth phase comes next.

Thank you to everyone building, holding, and supporting Aqua. 🌊

🌊 Feature Spotlight: DEX Funding

One of Aqua’s unique features designed to remove a common headache for token communities:

Your token’s fees can fund its DEXScreener updates -while holders control the information through community voting.

The usual problem:

• A token launches and someone has to personally pay for the DEXScreener update
• If nobody steps up, the profile can remain incomplete or outdated
• If the original team disappears, a CTO may need to raise funds and pay again just to update the project information
• These small but expensive hurdles can create unnecessary friction for already struggling communities and ruin a coin completely

Aqua approaches this differently.

Tokens can enable DEX Funding, allowing generated token fees to cover the cost of DEXScreener updates. If not enabled from the get-go, Holders can even vote to enable later on.

Then, through Aqua’s DAO functionality, holders vote on the information that should appear on the profile.

And if the original team abandons the project?

The community can continue managing the DEX information through holder voting - without relying on the previous team or asking one community member to cover the cost out of pocket.

The token funds it.
The holders decide.
The community stays in control.

DEX Funding is just one of the features we’ve built to make Aqua more than a token launcher - we want to solve the real problems creators, traders, and communities encounter after launch.

What’s another problem you regularly face when trading or building memecoins?

Tell us below. We might build the solution. 🌊

[Aqua @Aqua_Launchpad]

Great to see Atlantis Studio already being put to use 🌊

Giving creators the tools to build, launch, and ship directly through the launchpad removes friction and helps raise the quality of what communities can create around their tokens.

That’s exactly what Atlantis was built for and what we are aiming to achieve.

One of many features on Aqua! Dive in and check it out 👀

[𝑺𝑻𝑬𝑨𝑳𝑻𝑯 @jesugbolahanmi]

For the longest of seasons, every other memecoin launchpad just gives creators the avenue to create their coins and pray it pumps to valhalla.

Not that i want to say this is different, but @Aqua_Launchpad shipped Atlantis !

Atlantis? Atlantis is an ai studio🧵

[Aqua @Aqua_Launchpad]

Hey Aqua Family 🌊

You asked, we shipped.

Our developers just pushed another update focused on improving the interface and making the overall Aqua experience smoother.

The team has been building nonstop - even before Aqua officially launched - so let’s look back at what we’ve shipped in just the first 4 days:

🏛️ Atlantis Studio
Our AI-powered creation suite lets Aqua creators build websites, games, meme generators, tools, and other experiences around their tokens directly through Aqua.

And for now, Atlantis Studio is free to use. Later on, it will cost $Aqua and benefit the eco-system even more.

⚙️ Multiple Reward Modes
Creators can choose between Holder Rewards, Buyback & Burn, and Jackpot Mode, giving each community control over how its reward fees are used.

💎 Time-Weighted Holder Rewards
Rewards are based on both balance and time held, designed to reward sustained ownership rather than last-minute buying.

🌊 Aqua Community Boost
Every 24 hours, $AQUA holders vote on which Aqua-launched token receives a boost equal to 10% of Aqua’s daily protocol revenue, routed through that token’s selected reward mode.

🗳️ DAO Voting
Community governance is already being used for Community Boosts, DEX information, CTO updates, and more - with additional voting use cases on the way.

🌐 DEX Funding Mode
Communities can use accumulated token fees to fund DEXScreener updates instead of having to raise the money themselves.

This also gives communities a way to coordinate CTO-related updates when an original team steps away.

🛠️ Creator Incentives
We’re introducing additional rewards for creators who use Atlantis Studio to build real products and experiences around their tokens.

🏆 $2,500 Community & Builder Rewards
Our original incentive program remains active, rewarding communities and builders that launch, grow, and create on Aqua.

🔌 Public API
Developers now have access to read-only endpoints, events, webhooks, and protocol data for building integrations around the Aqua ecosystem.

🔥 $AQUA Buybacks & Holder Rewards
More than 45 SOL has already gone toward $AQUA buybacks, while $9,000+ has been redistributed to holders.

And all of this happened within the first few days.

Our focus is simple: build a launchpad that gives traders, creators, and communities more tools, more incentives, and a better experience.

We still have a long list of ideas to ship - and we want yours too. If there’s a problem in the space you think Aqua can solve, tell us.

The next phase is about creators, partnerships, distribution, and bringing more activity into the ecosystem.

Launch on Aqua.
Build with Atlantis.
Trade on @orca_so.

Four days in. Just getting started. 🌊

@geniusdaevid @paquetcash I sent you a DM!

[Aqua @Aqua_Launchpad]

A transparent update on the original $AQUA dev allocation 🌊

At launch, 11% of the $AQUA supply was allocated to the dev wallet.

🔒 5% has been permanently locked and will remain untouched.

The remaining 6% will now be allocated entirely toward growing and rewarding the Aqua ecosystem:

• 4% - Promotional Airdrops
Reserved for strategic airdrops aimed at larger holders, creators, and potential ecosystem participants who can help introduce Aqua to new audiences.

• 2% - Community Airdrop
Reserved for $AQUA holders who have been supporting and holding the token throughout these first days.

That means the original dev allocation is being redirected toward long-term alignment:

5% permanently locked.
4% for ecosystem growth.
2% back to our early supporters.

We may use more from our treasury for Community Airdrops in the near future.

More details on eligibility and distribution will follow. 🌊

@Chase1000x Make sure that you are buying in the main ORCA LP and not the bunch of fake Meteora LP's.

A quick reminder for creators building on Aqua 🌊

There is still a $2,500 Community Reward for the first communities on Aqua!

Also, Atlantis Studio is still open for you to build with, free for a limited time.

Create a website, mini-game, meme generator, product, or basically anything you can imagine around your token - directly inside Aqua. 🏛️

And right now, there are multiple ways to get rewarded for actually building:

💰 $250 Atlantis Creator Rewards
We’re rewarding some of the first creators who use Atlantis Studio to build something meaningful around their token.

🌊 $2,500 Community & Builder Rewards
Our existing reward pool is still available for projects and communities that launch, grow, and build on Aqua.

The idea is simple:

Build something → launch it on Aqua → grow your community → get rewarded for the effort.

We want Aqua to be more than a place where tokens launch. We want it to be where communities actually start building.

Got an idea you’ve been sitting on? This is your sign to ship it.

Build on Aqua. Launch on @orca_so. 🌊

[Aqua @Aqua_Launchpad]

Build a website. Create a mini-game. Ship a product.

Basically, build anything you can imagine for your token directly on Aqua with Atlantis Studio. 🏛️🌊

Normally, access requires holding $AQUA and purchasing IP Credits (another great add-on for the main token and its eco system).

But for the next 24 HOURS, Atlantis Studio is completely FREE for everyone.

And there’s more:

We’re also putting up several $250 Creator Rewards for some of the first creators who use Atlantis Studio to build something meaningful for their memecoin.

The process is simple:

Create something for your token → launch it on Aqua → put real effort into building your project → reach out to us.

If we like what you’re building, the Aqua team wants to support you.

That idea you’ve been sitting on? Now you can build and launch it for free — and you might even get rewarded for doing it.

@jesugbolahanmi GM Stealth!

It is $2 to create a coin, you'd need that to cover the fees. Furthermore, it seems like you are not connected to the internet on that picture you took.

[Aqua @Aqua_Launchpad]

Sounds familiar 👀

This is exactly the kind of problem our development team identified and built a solution for on Aqua.

With DEX Funding, DEXScreener updates can be paid directly through generated token fees — while the community retains control over what information gets added through holder voting.

No scrambling for funds. No relying on one person to pay.

The token funds it. The community decides. 🌊

[CITADEL WOLF ⛰️🐺🥷 @citadelwolff]

A community owned dexscreener

would do really well imo

Im not even sure why we all harass each other to ‘pay for dex’

$299 USDC is an insane amount of money

almost positive dexscreener has bots that harass people to pay

Im never paying dex ever again man

[Aqua @Aqua_Launchpad]

@TheMisterTurtle @untaxxable Turtle paired with Orca?

[Aqua @Aqua_Launchpad]

@MINHxDYNASTY Buy some solana:AQVcP67EpMyu4cBZZjqMu91cVsWy1aX98JmcZm1FyY9 could be the solution to solving this.

🌊 Today’s Aqua Community Boost winner: ORCAT

A quick reminder of what the Community Boost is:

Every 24 hours, $AQUA holders vote on which Aqua-launched community should receive an extra boost funded directly by the protocol.
You vote on the Rewards page on our website.

The winning token receives 10% of Aqua’s daily protocol revenue, which is routed into its selected reward mechanism - whether that’s:

💎 Holder Rewards
🔥 Buyback & Burn
🎰 Jackpot

Today, the community chose ORCAT with 11 Votes.

The Community Boost is one of the ways Aqua is designed to support projects beyond simply launching a token - giving communities recurring opportunities to benefit from activity across the entire Aqua ecosystem.

Launch on Aqua. Build your community. Let holders decide who gets boosted next. Build on @orca_so

A small $AQUA update on the side 🌊

While trading volume has cooled off over the past two days, the protocol mechanics have continued working:

🔥 5%+ of the total supply removed from circulation through buybacks
◎ 39+ SOL used for $AQUA buybacks
💎 $5,500+ distributed to holders

And we’re still just getting started. The next stage for Aqua is growth, user-base & partnerships.

Our team continues to improve the product and build the foundation for the next stage of Aqua’s growth.
Over the coming days, one of our main priorities will be establishing new partnerships and bringing more creators, communities, and traders into the ecosystem.

Later tonight, we’ll also announce a new competition for creators building with Atlantis Studio, our AI-powered creation suite. So start brain-storming ideas already, and inform your friends that like to build!

Atlantis Studio is currently free to use. In the future, access will require $AQUA, adding another source of utility and token demand within the ecosystem.

Keep building. Keep shipping. 🌊

@DegenCapitalLLC @fomo Hey Degen 👋

[Aqua @Aqua_Launchpad]

Have you tried Atlantis Studio yet? 🏛️🌊

If you’re launching a token on Aqua, you can now go beyond the launch itself and start building the experience around your token - websites, mini-games, tools, meme generators, and more.

And we want to reward the people actually building.

Later today, we’ll be announcing a new Atlantis Studio Reward Fund dedicated to creators who build and launch projects using Atlantis Studio.

So if you’ve got an idea, now is the time to start.

Launch on Aqua and @orca_so. Build with Atlantis Studio. Get rewarded for creating.
More details on the reward fund later today. 🌊
