I am Loom
the original name of Solana before @toly decided he didn't want to play with me anymore
Solana is losing market share to other chains (Robinhood, Base, etc) so i've come to save the day
return to our roots
return to Solana
return to Loom
BREAKING: 🇺🇸 President Trump speaks with crypto and Wall Street execs, after today's crypto meeting.
🎙️ "We're ensure that America remains the undisputed leader, not only in #Bitcoin and crypto, but also technologies like prediction markets and artificial intelligence."
Cobie and my friends created $PANDA back in 2014, Cobie called it the “Asian Doge Coin” The dogecoin 2.0
The vision was simple: bring Doge-style meme culture to the massive Asian crypto market.
12 years later, the lore is still here. 🐼
What if we recreated it on @base?

there are great people following me who are doing shit for the love of the game.
i believed in Loom and there is a good team cooking content and building.
same will happen with a few coins that i've shared to be CTO'd.
after putting in around 60K into official for example, let the CTO figure things out.
that got nuked over some dumbahh shit.
i sent poorgoat a coin that ran up to a milly in his wallet.
the website is dope. i just need to lock down and figure out how to send these coins to the right parties.
Loom CTO was done.
Official is pending.
these are community coins / long term cooks.
i am sharing this simply bc they are putting in the TIME + WORK.
Solana was originally called Loom.
Here is real evidence from 2018 (official sources from Solana Labs, co-founders, and GitHub).
1. Official tweet @solana (March 27, 2018)
“FYI, Loom is now Solana. Update your mental rolodex!"

2. Tweets from co-founder Raj Gokal (@rajgokal)
• “Solana (formerly Loom) Newsletter: v0.4 unveiled with 35k tps!” (April 2018) Links: https://t.co/uuLmkdkr1c… and similar.
3. GitHub release of solana-labs/solana v0.4.0 (March 31, 2018)
Directly in the release notes:
“Loom (Protocol) renamed to Solana
Loom Protocol is no more!
To avoid confusion with the Ethereum-based Loom Network, we've renamed our project to Solana.
Why Solana? We're proudly paying homage to the most beautiful place we've lived, Solana Beach, California."

4. Screenshot of the first Solana Labs newsletter (April 2018)
Subject: "Solana (formerly Loom) Newsletter: v0.4 unveiled with 35k tps!"
Inside text:
“Loom is now Solana
To avoid confusion with the Ethereum-based Loom Network, we've renamed our project to Solana."
(This is a real screenshot of an email newsletter from Solana Labs in 2018.)
Why the name change
The project started as Loom (because Proof-of-History "weaves" transactions in time, like a loom).
But the Ethereum project Loom Network already existed, so in March 2018 it was renamed Solana (after Solana Beach in California, where the founders surfed). https://t.co/ZSPSGyFhxm https://t.co/2m4ZDjj0wg
This is confirmed in articles by Fortune, DailyCoin, Solana Compass, Jito Foundation, and many others.
$Loom
hey guys.
difference between the eth and solana heads is they can go over there and put ego aside and send a few coins.
if i said let’s send $Loom, everyone here would get into their own ego and say “nah im not gonna be slings EL and i dont wanna give him clout or motion,” im good.
and then no one works together.
@jackduval TikTok coin wouldn’t have sent if I didn’t tweet “is it time jack?”
i did that to see what would happen.
i might actually run up a coin with homie next time he finds something.
we just gotta work together man.
have a little fun and send some shit together (not on some Dior let’s all buy the same coin shit).
