Morning CT.
Once @solsticefi rugs or goes to zero, you can easily grab this guy by the neck: @prxfecy0x. He’s close to the Solstice founder and has been continuously defending the project.
Those who chose the 3-month lockup should get ready to hear another story soon.
One hint: There were multiple Solana protocols that got “hacked” after TGE, and many of those situations were conveniently done by the teams themselves. So if you’re locking more funds into the platform just to receive vesting, be careful. You might hear another story very soon.
The whole community got rugged while ambassadors were used to force support and push false narratives. For the next 41 days they’ll continue using ambassadors to create fake momentum and spread misleading information.
I was inside the ambassador group myself. I stopped posting about Solstice 3 months ago because I realized how cheap the founder really was, and it became obvious from his words that the community would eventually get scammed. I moved on long ago.
Many ambassadors are still being used because their allocations haven’t been distributed yet. The team knew that if ambassador allocations were unlocked at TGE, there wouldn’t be a single ambassador left promoting Solstice.
That’s exactly why ambassador vesting starts after 41 days.
One of the worst TGEs I’ve ever seen.
Get a life, man.
SOLSTICE MANAGED TO SCAM THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY WITH THE HELP OF ITS AMBASSADORS. AT THIS POINT, @SOLSTICEFI AMBASSADORS HAVE ONLY PROVEN THAT THEY FOOLED THEMSELVES.
xAI open sourcing the X recommendation stack exposed something interesting.
The feed pipeline is heavily decoupled.
Thunder handles candidate sourcing from the social graph layer with Manhattan + Memcache backed stores.
Phoenix handles heavier out-of-network retrieval/ranking workloads separately.
Home Mixer sits as the orchestration layer written in Rust, merging candidates from multiple services, applying feature hydration, visibility filtering, scoring, and final ordering before fanout.
A lot of people thought “the algorithm” was just a single ranking model.
It’s actually a distributed low-latency retrieval system stitched together with multiple microservices, feature stores, ANN retrieval, and async scoring pipelines.

I was just scrolling my X for the last 3 days and watching what happened.
I didn’t feel like posting anything, since I’m not good at shitposting, and I’m not a 24/7 reply guy either.
My entire timeline was supporting a girl who is basically a student of a bald guy who teaches “how to grow” while growing himself.
She’s doing the same, not really teaching others but posting “how to grow” content mainly to farm engagement and grow herself.
Bro, come on, how do you support someone whose entire content is just “how to grow”? Everyone has been seeing that same advice for years, but most people don’t want to post without a proper topic, and she’s repeating the same thing.
Simple question to CT, why do you follow someone?
To learn something? To get proper info about CT, web3, upcoming projects, fundraising, markets, etc, right?
What does she post? “How to grow.”
Which you already know. You’ve been reading the same thing for the last 5 years from that bald guy and many other influencers. Why keep consuming the same thing again and again?
There are many top web3 guys who aren’t reply guys and don’t post “how to grow”, like Ronin, Bandit, Zun, and many more ( there are many, just came in my mind these name white I'm writing this)
One of the biggest scams in web3 is when someone says “I’m a reply guy or girl” and supports that culture. Another is when someone constantly teaches “how to grow.”
If someone keeps posting about “how to grow,” their intention usually isn’t to teach you. It’s to grow themselves, because that keyword farms engagement.
I’ve rarely seen real informational content from these kinds of creators, including that girl from Nepal.
Why does everyone on CT hype this girl so much?
She’s one of the most cringe creators I’ve ever seen
There are plenty of great female content creators who actually deserve the hype she gets
Not surprising why crypto has fallen so low this bear market
everyone’s been chasing memes, founders with extractive mindset, and CT keeps supporting low-quality content
