[Adrian 🐢 | Arete @hungrytrtl]

One of the most interesting things we’re doing at @arete_a4:

using agents to build the integrations that future agents use.

Agents ingest docs, IDLs, repos, SDKs, transactions, logs, and account diffs.

Then Arete turns that into reusable backends

[ARETE @ARETE_A4]

We only went and won first place in the @SuperteamBLKN Frontier Buildstation

Great closing day to this @colosseum hackathon

[Waterboy @Cryptobulletant]

@ARETE_A4 @SuperteamBLKN @colosseum @solana @superteam 🔥🔥🔥

[Waterboy @Cryptobulletant]

@metablck Great to see people being compensated like this. Verifiable on-chain and legacy holders are treated very fairly here. Should be acknowledged 🔥

[Waterboy @Cryptobulletant]

@Elyes_Elkameel @hyperonsol 🔥🔥🔥

[Waterboy @Cryptobulletant]

@Elyes_Elkameel @hyperonsol Thank you bro 🙏

[Waterboy @Cryptobulletant]

@metablck A lot went into this.. time, money, and effort from the team, meta, and @hungrytrtl. We built, shipped, and pushed as far as we could. It didnt reach its goal as CTO. The team didnt take any money. We tried sth ambitious and are taking everything we learned into what comes next.

[metablck @metablck]

We’ve heard the feedback recently, including many things being said that are simply not true.
Although we were under no obligation to do anything further, we’ve decided to open a 30-day refund window using the recovered liquidity, as a final gesture for legacy holders who simply want to move on.

This applies only to tokens held before snapshot block 383516979
(10:48:08 Nov 30, 2025 UTC)

The refund pool comes from the proceeds received by the majority of holders who sold before the snapshot, totaling 973.102 SOL.

All of this is fully verifiable on-chain via:
6FdxUb9REyJk1HrkobRQ218sDd4HJejJKm9eUS9cgG13

Mechanism
If you held X% of supply before the snapshot
You sell your tokens
You provide proof of sale and wallet verification
You will receive an amount so that your total realized value equals X% of the 973.102 SOL pool, minus whatever SOL you already received from selling.

Example:
1% of supply = 9.731 SOL reference amount.
If you sold for 3 SOL, you will receive 6.731 SOL.

Who is this for?
This is for anyone who still holds $HYPER and bought their tokens on the open market during the CTO period.

Like us, nobody got these tokens for free. Everyone took risk with their own money.

How to claim
Simply reach out on Telegram or Discord and someone will verify your case and process the refund.

Final note
To our knowledge, this has never been done in any CTO. We are doing it because, despite how things ended, we are still proud of what was achieved during that chapter.
We changed lives, helped many people, built real things, and created opportunities for a lot of holders.

[metablck @metablck]

It has been a while, so I wanted to give everyone a clear and honest update.

First, regarding Hyper.

Hyper started as a CTO token. It was not created or issued by us. We stepped in, tried to build around it, and gave it time, energy, products and money. We believed we could turn something chaotic into something valuable.

We achieved real things: built product, generated revenue, grew a community, placed Top 5 in the Infra Track at the Solana Colosseum Hackathon and learned a huge amount.

But the reality is simple: most CTOs fail.
We gave it almost a full year of serious effort. We tried our best. We kept building. We kept adapting.
In the end, it did not work. Our CTO failed. This was not the fault of any individual person. Success depends on the wider community, and in this case the community did not manage to turn it into a lasting success.

The CTO structure came with major limitations: legacy supply, misalignment, noise, and constraints that made long-term execution difficult.

At some point, holders representing 80%+ of supply decided the token had failed and chose to sell their holdings, gathering the proceeds to finance the start of something new. That is what a CTO is all about, decentralized ownership means decentralized decisions.

Some will call it a rug, and that is their right. But the truth is fully on-chain and can be verified by anyone.

We took a dead coin from the trenches to 30M+ MC, then collectively accepted it had failed as it slowly moved back toward 2M.

The total funds gathered from that process were less than 1000 SOL.

Nobody got rich from it. Nobody benefited from it.

Yes, the people who invested the most time, money, and energy into that CTO, in some cases treating it like a full-time job lost everything.
The losses were material, into seven figures. Most people would have been broken by that kind of setback and never recovered. We are not those people.

Part of the original group, 4 people in total, decided to work on something new from zero.

Not another CTO. Not another token. A real project. A real company.

We are now building something we believe is significantly bigger than anything we have done before.

A product where users can simply describe what they want to build, and the system handles the real-time backend, data pipelines, and custom integrations for them.

Solana is our current playground and one of the best use cases for this technology, especially because working with Solana data is difficult today. No hours decoding raw Solana data. No expensive infra stack. No heavy backend complexity.

Just focus on shipping products.

But the vision is much bigger than Solana and much bigger than crypto.

We are building around AI, automation, and the emerging agent economy.

This time, we are building with proper structure from day one: funding, a real cap table, strategic investors, and the foundations needed to scale seriously.

On top of that, we are already seeing strong early traction, excellent feedback, and a much larger market opportunity.

To be absolutely clear, our focus today is far from launching a token, it is on building a real product and real long-term value.

Honestly, we have never been more bullish.

Because of that, Hyper as a project is finished. We will progressively close the old social channels and move forward under the new direction.

That said, we have not forgotten the people who supported us, believed in us, and worked with us. There are no guarantees, and this new venture may not work.

We won’t be sharing more details for now. When the time is right, updates will come directly from us.

And for those still asking wen token? Respectfully, you’re focused on the wrong thing.

[Adrian 🐢 | Arete @hungrytrtl]

The cost ladder for Solana real-time data:

Free Tier RPC: Suitable for testing, but unreliable in production.

$50-$100/month: Improved reliability, though you'll still need to handle parsing yourself.

$500/month: Production-ready RPC with webhooks and some APIs.

$999/month: Access to LaserStream gRPC.

$2,900+/month: Dedicated infrastructure.

At every tier, you're still responsible for building your own data layer on top.

The real issue isn't the infrastructure cost; it's the engineering time.

@hyperonsol

[Adrian 🐢 | Arete @hungrytrtl]

Declarative data pipelines for Solana.

Define the accounts, relationships, and transforms you need. We generate type-safe SDKs and handle all the infrastructure.

No Geyser setup. No ETL. No custom parsers.
