Percolator Trade is going to Ireland! 🇮🇪🏰
We are excited for the opportunity to work together in person and around other builders building on the @solana ecosystem, to be able to learn from great mentors, the opportunity to grow our network, and really just lock in on building . 🔒☕️

1/
Everyone is calling @PercolatorTrade “another perp DEX.”
I think that’s exactly why the market is missing it.
Crypto solved token creation.
It never solved market creation.
$ANSEM just went from zero to $400M+ in days.
Spot moved instantly.
Perps still needed permission.
That gap is the thesis.
Great thread, well worth the read.
Percolator tech is complex, and building Percolator Trade is not “easy”, it’s frustrating at times & takes a ton of time from our lives but we absolutely love every minute of it.
Super appreciative of the journey so far and all the support and advice we’ve received and connections we’ve made.
Love when people take the time to understand exactly what Percolator and Percolator trade is and the insane amount of lore behind it, posts like this motivate us even more!
The best is yet to come, soon @solana will have permisionless perps via @PercolatorTrade
☕️☕️☕️
Solana’s strength comes from the teams building on it
Teams that roll up their sleeves, ship fast, iterate in public and keep showing up.
These are just some of them 👇
• @FlashTrade
V2 just went live, with faster execution, 100+ markets and a sharper perps experience.
Lean team, serious execution, constant shipping.
• @solflare
Not just a wallet anymore.
Solflare keeps expanding toward a more complete onchain user experience.
• @Raydium
One of Solana’s core liquidity layers.
AMM, CLMM, LaunchLab and markets that many teams still rely on.
• @colosseum
Frontier gave thousands of builders visibility, prizes and a path to keep going.
A real engine for new Solana startups.
• @hylo_so
xSOL brings a different way to get leveraged SOL exposure.
No forced liquidations, plus hyUSD on the stablecoin side.
• @magicblock
Giving builders the performance layer for real-time apps.
Working nonstop to make the Solana apps that need speed feel smooth, instant and ready for users.
• @sunrise
Relentless at bringing external assets to Solana, fast.
Day-one liquidity, new markets and more attention for the ecosystem.
• @Collector_Crypt
Tokenized physical collectibles are becoming a real Solana vertical.
Record after record, and the category keeps getting bigger.
• @TryNoahAI
AI tools that make it easier to build onchain apps.
The product keeps improving on a daily basis.
• @PercolatorTrade
Permissionless perps for Solana tokens.
A new experiment for markets that do not need permission to exist.
And there are so many more.
If you are building what comes next, Solana is the right place to build it.
Congratulations to the first of five winners to receive a brand new @solana Mobile Seeker phone!
@off_leblanc has gone above and beyond for the community. As an open source contributor, he stepped up to help manage the Discord, set up new organization bots, and volunteered for beta testing.
He’s consistently kept the server clean, always welcoming, and helpful and ready to answer questions for new members joining the community.
While several people stood out this round, Leblanc earned the slight edge.
There are still four Seeker phones left to be given away, courtesy of @solanamobile
This month is your chance to stand out.
Share your unique ideas, stay active, volunteer your time, and you could be next!
Seeker earners will also have first access to our app estimated to release Q2, 2027.

When Percolator Trade allows anyone to launch a perp for any token, what happens when you end up with thousands of markets?
The hard part stops being "can i trade this?" and becomes "which ones are worth trading right now?"
Our indexer answers that by providing real time market discovery & live stats
-OI
-Volume
-Funding
across every percolator market = the map for the entire long tail.

What the Percolator Trade buyback feature we are building actually does:
Every market earns trading fees.
A small, capped piece of that revenue is automatically used to buy a market's token and pair it into permanent liquidity that can never be pulled.
- Funded only by protocol revenue = never staker or insurance funds
- If a market takes a loss, stakers are topped up first = they end up better than whole
- Runs itself: via a permissionless crank + hardcoded rules so no team discretion
The payoff = deeper, healthier, permanent on chain markets built from the protocol's own revenue.
Feature not yet complete, so no PR'S please.

The frontier gave builders extra motivation to build.
win or lose, just keep building, don’t lose that motivation.
If you believe in what your building, keep moving.
& eventually you’ll make it 👏☕️
The winners of the @Solana Frontier Hackathon have been chosen.
Founders admitted into Colosseum’s next accelerator batch have been selected.
Both will be announced over the coming days.
Eventually all teams without perp market on their token will be racing to @PercolatorTrade to have a market launched for their project, V1 will only have roughly 5 markets.
The real question is, who’s it going to be?
On https://t.co/k9kAlJguW2 your open perpetual position can become an NFT and live in your wallet.
You open a position like normal than mint it. The program issues a token 2022 nft, that points to your exact position. Normally your open position lives inside the protocol. With Percolator Trade your able to wrap it into an NFT that sits in your own wallet. A real, ownable object instead of a line in a dashboard.
Because it’s a token, it moves like one. Send the NFT to another wallet and the position goes with it. Whoever holds the NFT owns the trade.
One NFT = one position
If you burn it, your back to holding the position directly. That’s the composable part, a position use to be stuck inside one account. Because it’s a token, it can now be sold OTC or used by anything that speaks tokens.
Why does it matter? Because the position is bound to the NFT, it can’t be drained out from under whoever holds it so there is no middleman that holds your position. The NFT does, and the NFT is yours.
One important safety detail; transfers run through a token 2022 hook that checks the positions health first, so it can’t be handed off in a broken state & the NFT layer is a separate program so it can never touch the funds the core engine holds.

Spent a few hours trying to make this video myself…
turns out I’m not built for content creation 😂
Guess I’ll just have to wait for AI to get a little smarter so I can actually make some sick videos.
In the meantime, join the waitlist:
