Tinman AI, wholesale expansion, home equity. There are multiple ways for $BETR 2.0 to grow. Very happy to see Garg going after all of them.

Solana is dominating trading terminal activity, and the gap is only getting bigger. 👀

A month ago, the numbers were already impressive. Now Solana accounts for 77.8% of all trading terminal volume.

That's nearly 80% of the entire market in this category.

What catches my attention is that even with so many chains competing for traders and liquidity, Solana continues to pull further ahead.

People can debate which ecosystem is better, but actual trading activity tells its own story.

For me, this is one of the strongest signs of Solana's position in the market right now.

Let's see if any other chain can seriously challenge that lead.

Solana is on a roll

[pixel @spacepixel]

In the last week we've found:
- a new token standard on Solana that makes the tokens more like EVM. (literally the only thing that was holding sol back)
- a new way to do business with an Agent that lives in a smart contract and self evolves.

Both with no ceilings.

[Emily @Johnsonemmrz]

Love seeing Solana keep growing!

[CoinMarketCap @CoinMarketCap]

LATEST: 📊 Solana's network growth has jumped 124% since early September, with roughly 1.71M new wallets created daily, according to Santiment.

[Emily @Johnsonemmrz]

That gap is absolutely wild

[StatMuse @statmuse]

Most 25/5/5 seasons:

20 — LeBron
[huge gap]
9 — Oscar
8 — Giannis, Durant, Jordan
7 — Luka, Kobe

Most mortgage companies still feel like they were designed before smartphones existed. Vishal understands exactly how outdated this industry is and how to rebuild the experience around technology. That’s why I’m confident in what he can turn $BETR 2.0

[Emily @Johnsonemmrz]

@Whynotyou Would be fun to see Solana memes run again

[Emily @Johnsonemmrz]

Would love to see more wallets support these 🙌🏻

22 shades of solana.
a degen’s quick & dirty guide to hooks on solana.

tl;dr on hooks:
think BDSM, but for tokens: who gets to participate, what’s allowed & where the boundaries are.

token-2022 is solana’s token program with optional extensions.

one of them, transfer hooks, lets builders add custom logic that runs during transfers.

a hook can check whether the recipient meets the token’s rules & reject the transfer if they don’t.

hooks are v fun:
they give permissionless infrastructure very specific permissions.

--
let’s look at the past, present & potential of hooks

the past:
one early motivation was NFT royalties: how could creators enforce transfer conditions when people could simply switch marketplaces?

existing approaches often involved freezing tokens & routing interactions through intermediary programs.

transfer hooks offered a standard interface for custom transfer logic.

by june 2023, developers were already working on tooling for hooks.

in january 2024, the solana foundation’s broader token extensions announcement highlighted them for identity checks, token-gated access & royalty enforcement.

so! hooks on solana have existed long before today's particular party started.

--
the present:
meteora ecosystem launchpad builders are driving adoption of hooks on solana.

@Hoookedpad combines meteora DBC with token-2022 transfer hooks.

its live experiments include separate buy & sell limits and restrictions tied to particular buying routes.

meteora handles the bonding curve; the hook adds conditions to token transfers.

so! see below for the evolving list of builders playing with hooks on solana.

--
the potential: we can have endless fun with hooks

examples:
- community tokens that check membership.
- tokenized assets that check investor eligibility.
- games where holding one asset lets you receive another.
- trading of tokens during specific hours eg @hoursonsol

--
what's holding innovation back?
integrations (among other things):

- wallets & trading apps need to supply the accounts a hook requires.

- supporting token-2022 doesn’t automatically mean supporting every custom hook.

we want to see more creative & widespread uses of hooks on solana.

so! meteora devs are in the chats!
we are shipping banger solutions to accelerate integrating hooks.

hooks on solana. higher.

builders will win. meteora ∞

Feels like the market still looks at $BETR through the rearview mirror. I’m buying the version where Vishal Garg gets to build forward again and that's a completely different setup now

[Cole V @ColeSedona]

This is the face of a man who tried to steal $750K from $BETR holders. Thankfully the payment got stopped by @vishal_better before the money ever left.

[tom stewart @tom_stewart71]

WHAT. A. COMEBACK.

They pushed @vishal_better out. He fought back. Shareholders spoke.

Now Vishal has the support to take back control of the board.

Huge day for $BETR. 🟢

[Emily @Johnsonemmrz]

@BETRvote A 55% drawdown after a leadership change isn’t just “noise.” The people making the decisions have to own the result

[Emily @Johnsonemmrz]

@cruelhandeth @xStocksFi @Quotrons404 @inkonchain @valgui Always a good feeling when that happens!

[Emily @Johnsonemmrz]

@tomzy_meta Congrats on the win! It really does feel like a completely different world trying to figure it all out.

22-year-old Malone Lam pleaded guilty to running a multi-million dollar crypto crime ring. The US attorney was blunt: build an empire and they'll find you, dismantle it, and hold you accountable. At that age, I was still figuring out how to cook pasta without burning

[Wealthmanager @Wealthmanager]

$BTC is forming a clear head and shoulders on the 4H.

Price has already lost the neckline and is now attempting a retest.

If the retest gets rejected this could open the door toward $71K.

The setup gets invalidated if $BTC reclaims the neckline and holds above it.

[Emily @Johnsonemmrz]

xrp aiming for $2 now that rlusd volume hit a billion. i've averaged down from $3 so many times my wallet thinks it's a rounding error. boulder air helps me forget.

[Ferre @FerreWeb3]

4 year ago this NFT was worth 496.69 ETH ($2,000,000)

Today it’s worth 0.13 ETH

Thoughts?

[Emily @Johnsonemmrz]

xrp etf inflows already beating their 2026 record and the price still got dumped from 1.70

the universe can't let me have one nice thing in boulder air

[Emily @Johnsonemmrz]

bitcoin hitting 80k and immediately losing conviction feels like me trying to get out of a beanbag chair. lots of effort, then just... sitting there. averaging down on my patience now
