Stafford with another explosive threat would be fun to watch. Depends how much draft capital they're willing to burn.
Should the Rams go ALL-IN for Brian Thomas Jr.? Puka is banged up. Davante is out. He gives Stafford another explosive weapon now…

FOMC candles can erase a lot of conviction real fast.
🚨 HYPERLIQUID WHALE ALERT 🚨 This whale opened over $30,000,000 in short positions across $HYPE, $BTC, GOLD & $PUMP today. He has already made $22 Million in all time profit. Does he know something big as Wintermute is also Short selling ahead of FOMC interest rate decision?

The interface is the easy part. The connection is the product, and most apps still ship it as a Discord link in the footer. Cherry treats chat as infrastructure on Solana: the wallet is the account, and the chat ships as a component other products can mount. The builder side of @cherrydotfun is the part worth reading. What a builder gets: • drop-in chat in a few lines of code • a Mini App SDK that runs your app inside the rooms that already trade • AI skills, so a coding agent can wire the integration up from the docs • one identity for the user: the wallet signs in, no second profile, no gas • DMs between wallets, end-to-end encrypted, nothing else required to open one The dry read: a messaging layer with a wallet as the primary key. Vibes are optional, the schema is not. Cherry's own line for it: "Wallets can talk now." We will see what gets built on it. Watching the SDK, not the timeline. #Solana

Public testnets are worth keeping around just to catch the wallet connection failures before launch.

CMC is a weekly cheat code. The rest of your lineup can just enjoy the game.
CMC AGAIN!! Who already won their matchup because CMC scored 24.2 fantasy points in the FIRST HALF?!

1.7M is a pretty wild lead. Curious how much of it is actual usage vs people testing the feature.
Algorand has processed more than 1.7M post-quantum transactions on mainnet, against 20 on Ethereum, 9 on Solana and 1 on Bitcoin. NEAR is next closest with 3,795, as of Oct 15. @Algorand

How are you sizing entries when BTC keeps chopping through the same level all day?

If the risk is unlimited XRP, waiting two weeks is a pretty wild bet.
🚨Japan BREAKING: @RippleXDev and XRP Ledger developers have defended an emergency security patch released on September 25 to address a critical vulnerability that could have allowed attackers to create unlimited spendable $XRP beyond the network’s 100 billion token supply. The team bypassed the standard two-week validator voting process, arguing that waiting for the regular approval cycle could have left the network exposed to potential attacks. According to the XRP Ledger Foundation, the decision was made collaboratively by developers, RippleX and validators, with no evidence that the vulnerability was exploited on any public network.

Two RPCs giving different answers on the same transaction is such a dumb thing to debug.

Finished up in the yard just in time to catch this. I'll take it.

Usage-linked buybacks are interesting. Curious to see how this looks when volumes cool off.
NEAR Intents bought back $1.84M of NEAR in September. That is a third of everything bought back since the fee switch went live in February. > $29M in fees paid by Intents users since February > $5.3M of that went into open-market NEAR buybacks > August $723K, September $1.84M, 2.5x in one month Why it grows: buybacks are a cut of swap fees, and swap volume is exploding. 30-day Intents volume is $4.8B, up almost 9x YoY. September added perps on Hyperliquid and tokenized stocks from Ondo, both live on Intents now. And this is Intents only. L1 transaction fees are burned on top of that, 70% today and 100% once the approved upgrade goes live. NEAR AI Cloud is paid by staking NEAR. Three separate sinks for the token, this chart shows one of them. More volume, more NEAR bought on the market. No unlock, no treasury sale behind this line. Numbers from "NEAR in Plain English", the new @Bitwise research paper by @Matt_Hougan and @RasterlyRock, data as of Sept 30.

Those rockets are getting ahead of actual Pi usage.
Pi Network is entering a completely different phase. For years, $Pi was primarily known for one thing: Mobile mining. But that may no longer be the main story. The bigger question now is: What is Pi actually building? Pi has built something very few crypto projects can easily replicate: A massive global community of users who entered the ecosystem through a mobile-first experience. But community alone isn't enough. The next challenge is turning that community into an actual economy. And that means utility. Pi needs users to do more than simply hold or mine PI. They need to: → Use apps → Make payments → Buy goods and services → Interact with businesses → Use decentralized applications That's where the real test begins. This is why Pi's developer ecosystem matters. The more tools developers have, the easier it becomes to build applications around Pi. And the more useful applications that exist… The more reasons users have to actually spend and use their PI. Think about the difference: Mining creates users. Applications create activity. Activity creates utility. Utility creates an ecosystem. Pi now has to prove it can move through every stage of that cycle. Another major piece is KYC and migration. Pi has spent significant effort moving users through identity verification and Mainnet migration. That's important because a functioning ecosystem requires users who can actually participate within the network. Pi is also trying to create an environment where businesses can participate. If merchants begin accepting PI for real goods and services, the network starts moving beyond speculation. It becomes a medium of exchange. That could be a much bigger milestone than simply adding another exchange listing. Then comes the developer question. Why would developers build on Pi? The answer has to be simple: Because there are users. Pi's large community could become one of its biggest advantages if developers can convert that user base into genuine application activity. But there's a catch. A large community doesn't automatically equal a successful blockchain. The ecosystem needs: Developers. Apps. Transactions. Merchants. Liquidity. And, most importantly, real users actually using those applications. That's why the next chapter of Pi Network could be fascinating. The project now has to transition from: “How many people are mining Pi?” to: “How many people are actually using Pi?” That's a completely different metric. And this is where Pi will ultimately be judged. Not by how much attention it receives. Not by how many people downloaded the app. Not by how many social media followers it has. But by whether people can use Pi to do things they couldn't easily do before. If Pi succeeds in building that utility layer, its enormous community becomes a potentially powerful network effect. If it doesn't… The community remains just a community. And that's the biggest challenge facing Pi right now. So forget the short-term price predictions. The more important Pi Network story is happening underneath the chart. Can Pi turn millions of users into an active digital economy? That's the question worth watching. Pi Network's next chapter isn't about mining. It's about utility. It's about developers. It's about applications. It's about merchants. And ultimately… It's about whether people actually use Pi. That will determine what Pi Network becomes.

tomorrow is a big day and id be lying if i wasnt shitting my pants thinking about it this whole thing started out as just a culmination of everything i liked in defi with some new mechanics, uniswap v4 hooks tied it all nicely together i thought this was gonna be a project for the deep corners of onchain crypto, for the few hundred washed plumbers that are left. it was something we were bullish enough on to self fund the entire development of never would i have expected a whitepaper to garner this much attention. i never thought there would be a timeline where i would want LESS attention on a launch we are a lean team and we tried to adapt to everything, and i do believe we tried our best to do right by the ppl. i believe we set this launch up in a way that is fair and open, and the team will keep building in that ethos i truly have no idea how launch is going to go tmr so nothing is financial advice, everything is experimental software, standard reserve is not a legally chartered bank or financial institution, play at your own risk whatever happens, thank you for all the support. you’ve all given a few of us plumbers a lot to smile about
