I love everything about the 4th of July, and the 250th anniversary is especially great for me because I am joining with family and friends for a reading of the Declaration of Independence, a BBQ, and fireworks.
As I reflect on what has happened over the 250 years that followed July 4th, 1776, it seems like an impossible dream come true. Think about it. Imagine that at the outset on July 4th, 1776, you were asked what odds for success a country would have if it would be mostly made up of poor immigrants coming from all different countries with very different cultures and religions and it would be governed by a political system in which the leaders reported to these people who themselves had to vote, compromise, and submit to life-changing decisions that many disagreed with. Would you bet that it would do exceptionally well and improve for 250 years? I would have thought that virtually impossible, yet America has been exceptional for 250 years.
I also see that it was shockingly terrific and lucky for me to have lived through the best part of those 250 years because I was born four years after the 1945 post-World War II beginning of the new American world order, which gave me the best time in history in the best place in the world.
These reflections give me a deep appreciation for the principles and practices—the secret sauce—that created and sustained this remarkable American story, a fear that we are losing sight of them, and a sense of responsibility to contribute to sustaining them.

$30 million was invested in the project at a $300 million valuation; token unlocks began after the price had already dropped 90% from its highs.
The project team and investors are very strong.
Gaming tokens come and go.
GUN is building utility, not just hype.
The token is designed to power in-game economies, rewards, and player activity. If the ecosystem grows, demand for GUN can grow with it.

Most RWA projects tokenize assets.
Plume tokenizes utility.
The goal isn't just to bring real-world assets on-chain, but to make them usable across DeFi: as collateral, for yield, and across protocols.
That's the difference.

Price tells you who's trading.
TVL tells you who's staying.

Not a conclusion.
Just an interesting signal.

End of the Drift era.
Welcome Velocity.
The name change signals a shift from "just another perp DEX" to building the execution layer for onchain trading.
Rebrands don't create value.
Execution does.
Now it's time to deliver. ⚡
@VelocityDEX@theunipcs@solana@SolanaFloor
Drift is officially becoming Velocity.
This isn't just a new logo.
The team is repositioning the protocol beyond a perpetual DEX into a broader execution layer for onchain markets.
New name. Bigger vision. Let's see if the product can match the ambition.
Today, Drift is rebranding to Velocity.
Our new name reflects the new and improved platform that we are building. Perpetual trading is a market where execution speed and directional precision determine outcomes. Velocity captures both, and signifies the momentum behind our relaunch.
The rebrand marks a deliberate line between what was and what comes next. Velocity is the exchange we have been building toward — a cleaner architecture, a stronger security foundation, and a clearer sense of what this platform is for. The name carries that intent.
As Velocity continues building towards relaunch, we are also planning to release our private Beta to select partners and traders in the coming days. This is an important step towards ensuring Velocity is rebuilt into the most robust perps exchange on Solana.
We look forward to sharing more soon.
@1coinonsolana so beautiful RR, Everything will change soon; takeoff is inevitable.
Just remember me and my words.
