.@MetaDAOProject is not just surviving the bear - the Futarchs are THRIVING in the bear!
Just last month, @ordrtrade and @ripcarsio raised successfully together with the biggest raise of the month, @crediblefin!
They keep stacking insane commitments to rounds.
Certainly a W for Solana!
this is how we win #1:
build ecosystems that compound
solana did not become one of the best places in the world to build because one company got everything right.
solana is winning because, over the years, people built institutions that quietly increased the odds of the next founder succeeding:
@MetaDAOProject is the product of years of compounding: time for the ownership thesis to mature, relationships to deepen, and builders, operators and patient capital to gather around a shared conviction. futardio.
the best products rarely win on merit alone.
they win because someone helps the world discover them:
@BagsApp understood this early. through hackathons, builder discord, product discovery and fee-distribution technology, the team has built a strong engine for helping ambitious founders launch, find an audience and grow.
builder-first launchpads like @blankdotbuild and @orynth are extending that model, proving that founder-led distribution can become infrastructure in its own right.
capital formation is evolving too:
@stardotfun is experimenting with live, internet-native fundraising and real-time market feedback. @adamcreates_ has that DAWG in him: relentless about helping early-stage founders find their first believers.
@EasyA_Kickstart is another powerful pipeline, helping builders move from hackathon to company to capital.
@BedrockFndn gives founders more freedom over incorporation, tokenization and future raises.
@icmdotrun helps ambitious teams, often already backed elsewhere, establish themselves on solana and plug into its distribution, liquidity and builder network.
almost every great founder can point to a room, a community or a person who changed the trajectory of their company:
@superteam has built a global talent network spanning more than 24 countries, connecting solana to founders, operators and creatives around the world.
@mtndao has spent five years creating the kind of environment where strangers become co-founders, unfinished ideas become products and products become companies.
@colosseum raises the bar through world-class hackathons, then keeps the fire burning through eternal, because the best builders do not stop building when the competition ends.
great markets need shared standards:
@blockworks’ Token Transparency Framework is helping establish a common language for disclosure and accountability across onchain capital markets.
@fairdotclub and @fairscalexyz are exploring what reputation can become onchain, and how credibility should shape access to capital.
ecosystems also need people who can separate signal from noise:
@mcglive, @ownershipfm, @0x1resolved and @BlockformerLLC & other 🐐, do more than document what is happening. they explain why it matters, surface exceptional builders and create the shared context every healthy ecosystem needs.
around them is an entire network of editors, designers, clippers and creatives preserving the signal, shaping the narrative and making sure important work does not disappear into the feed.
even the best technology goes nowhere without people willing to champion it:
behind the scenes, @MeteoraEco advances credible builders building cool projects on @MeteoraAG & drives wider ecosystem events and engagement.
and underneath all of it, @SolanaFndn continues funding builders, opening doors, forging partnerships and working alongside teams across the ecosystem.
no institution succeeds alone:
each strengthens the ecosystem around it and makes the next breakthrough more likely.
this network of compounding ecosystems is why solana keeps producing exceptional builders.
this is how we win.
