Stor Lehren switched the color display to a detailed map of the
region. He pointed to a region at the edge of the High Canyons.
“I say we head towards the
48th degree. We can exit
through the Overlord’s Pass
and reach Maran, the neoagora
bordering the Krokang
district.” Stor Lehren traced his
fingertips across the display.
“Since the neo-agora is known
to be a neutral zone, we can
set up a contact base there
before we enter Krokang.
With the uncertainties, this
can potentially be an S-Rank
mission. It is too risky to
contact the Imperial Code in
the open after this change
of tide. We need to set up an
indirect decoy line to alert
them for possible backup.”
“Good idea.” Lint Juru echoed
his sentiments. “We will need a refuel as well. The surprise
extended journey and the high optical shift is exhausting our
tanks.”
They passed several Golm squads on the way, the low hum

momentarily in their tracks.
Like all others, they moved on,
as nothing unusual could be
picked up by their cameras.
The path between the high
cliffs gradually narrowed, until
a point where the spacecraft
could only pass through flying
tilted. Through the viewing
glass, Stor Lehren spotted
the expected indentations
on the cliff walls. Among
them, thousands of majestic
sculptures of men and
women were carved in
memory of the rulers of

disengaged the gravity pod.
He pushed the handle, and
the gravity pod floated some
distance from the main ship.
Stor Lehren hopped on the
pod and started adjusting the
control parameters. Lint Juru
hopped on not too long after,
wobbling the pod, dragging
with her a half-opened satchel
stuffed to the brim with instant
elkis packs.
“I don’t think it is a good idea
to fly out of the High Canyons.
With the High Canyons gone,
I suspect Exilion soldiers to
be swarming Maran too.”
“Then, let’s enter as Anduran
merchants with our gravity
pods.” Lint Juru suggested.
A shallow cavity was spotted
amongst the statues and Lint
Juru steered the spacecraft
carefully into the tight space.
He grabbed his satchel and

“You…” Stor Lehren raised his eyebrows and sneered. “Your
addiction is not getting any better, isn’t it?”
“None of your business.” Lint Juru snapped.
Stor Lehren manipulated the controls, the gravity pod
descended and floated towards the end of the Overlord’s Pass.
The path slowly widened again, the thorny shrubs becoming
leafier and greener as they advanced.
From afar, they saw hundreds of mecha heads before the
gravity pod floated into the open. After passing through
rows of immobile mechas attached to rusty transport stilts,
spacecraft of different sizes and origins were seen. Just like
Stor predicted, they were mostly Exilion-owned.

Stor pushed ahead until they arrived before a strange looking
body of water. Instead of a calm surface, thousands of partially
submerged pillars scattered across it. The height of each pillar
above the water surface was approximately three times the
height of a mecha sleeve.
As they flew closer, hundreds of layers of trading platforms
attached to the pillars could be seen. Flying between them were
air species, drones, gravity pods or mixture pods. Occasionally
slight splashes were heard from water and mixture pods
submerging or emerging from the water surface. The layers of
trading platforms underwater were mostly owned by water or
amphibic species coming from the Wet planets of the Jangrian
Galaxy.
Stor was ordered to stop before the neo-agora entrance.
“Occupying any mecha or spacecraft slots?” A security guard
with a long snout asked, his left webbed hand gripping a
general Cube.
“No.”
“Pod ID?”
“Anduran merchant pod. A-CN-1879.”
The guard’s stubby fingers tapped rapidly on the Cube and
not too long after an orange glow appeared on the pod’s
communication panel.
“All clear.” He nodded and motioned them to pass. He looked
behind them and yelled, “Next!”
Stor Lehren steered the gravity pod towards the neo-agora
electrical fieldscreen. Stor felt the air around him growing
warm as he pierced through the field. The orange glow flashed
three times and a voice announced, “Identification converged.”
The surrounding air cooled down and the voice responded
again, “Welcome to Maran.”

WOMEN
@itskay_k
To begin with let’s learn a little bit about Women in Solana. When and
where did the concept come about?
Before I was in crypto I was dancing ballet professionally and the environment
was very female oriented. When joining the NFT community this
past summer, being the only woman on my team, it became obvious to
me that the female presence was lacking. This started me on my journey
to find “my people” and connect myself to other likeminded women in
the space.
After that inspirational pivot how did you go about forming a group? Who
makes up the core of the group?
After that realization hit me so hard, I made it my mission to help connect
people within the space. I started this discord server on a whim hoping
that at least the people who I had initially connected with would join. It
went viral and it was very apparent the need for this resource within the
community. We have a clear verification process to get into the server to
help keep it a safe space of just women & LGBTQ. So, the core group consists
of these individuals who are either in the NFT space or are looking
to learn more about NFTs.
You could have easily taken this action on the Ethereum platform. Why
Solana?
The group itself is cross chain! Anybody from ETH or SOL or Tezos, etc.
can join our group. It’s been really fun chatting about these different
communities and how WIN really bridges the gap for women across different
chains.
Apart from Twitter you also manage a Discord for the group. How is that
coming along?
It’s been great! We now have 800+ women in the server with numbers
increasing every day. I want to work on providing more ways in which
people can be involved - different initiatives that resonate with people.
As well as providing more resources!

IN NFT
I recently had the privilege of dropping into a Twitter Space run by the
group. The session was well organized, supportive, and the floor was
open to all the listeners. Has the group been able to run these regularly
and if so, have you found that community engagement is still strong?
The community engagement has been fabulous! I host a regular coffee
chat for WIN every Friday and that’s been really awesome. Looking to expand
to 2-3 spaces for WIN a week in which we highlight different female
projects as well as discuss specific topics about Women In NFTs.
Many of your members are successful artists with their own Holaplex
stores or running their own mint events. Has the group explored a marketplace
built for women by women as a viable option in the future?
I’ve definitely been thinking about ideas around this. I actually set up a
Women In NFTs Holaplex store to be used in the future. The WIN admins
really want to start doing female focused auctions for charity in the
coming months. The idea would be that we would gather some female
artists together to create or donate NFTs to the storefront to auction off
in an “event” to be donated to female focused initiatives and charities.
We also want to start a WIN fund in which we help support women who
are entering the space.
I am sure there are quite a few artists that are yet to hit the scene who are
being mentored within your Discord. Can you think of some newcomers
we should be keeping an eye out for?
This is a great question!
@RyleeArmond @catlady_jane @elyxendra @petrichorate & more!
It is so important to highlight female creators and figures in this space.
I truly believe that the key to onboarding more women to this space is
connecting WOMEN to WOMEN. Having that initial connection and validation/safety
within the space is something that will help others thrive.
Looking forward to seeing where this journey takes us!

•Solana price appears to be gearing up toward its next target at $310 before
putting further optimistic aims on the radar.
•The Ethereum-killer is one of the few currently existing public blockchains
that could scale to millions of transactions per second.
•Considering the SOL price history, the token could easily climb 800% to
over $1,500.
Solana price has witnessed a considerable
surge, climbing over 1,000% since
mid-July this year. The Ethereum-killer’s
rally is not over yet, as SOL could be repeating
history as a massively optimistic
target has been put on the radar since
a bullish chart pattern has formed. The
altcoin, which ranks fifth by market capitalization,
could easily outperform ETH as
the two tokens compete for adoption.
Solana price bolstered by rising adoption
Solana price could be bound for an explosive
surge as its native blockchain is one
of the few blockchains with a roadmap to
scale millions of transactions. According
to cryptocurrency billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried,
the protocol is one of the few
currently existing public blockchains that
could scale to millions of transactions per
second for fractions of a penny per transsolicons.holaplex.com

action.
He added that not a lot of other blockchains have been
focusing on scalability and reducing fees, including
Ethereum. Bankman-Fried highlighted that mass-scale
application businesses would need to be able to take on
hundreds of millions to billions of users and transactions
per second.
Ethereum transactions take a comparatively long time to
get processed, and its gas fees – transaction fees – are
relatively high. The ETH alternative, Solana allows users
to pay much lower fees and receive faster transaction
times. The benefits that the SOL protocol provides incentivize
users to stay within the ecosystem, especially
for decentralized finance applications and non-fungible

token (NFT) purchases.
As Ethereum gas fees are back on the rise while activity
on the network is picking up, users could see the Solana
blockchain as a viable alternative. Since the protocol was
launched in April 2020, SOL price has risen by around
16,000% so far this year, becoming the fifth-largest cryptocurrency
by market capitalization in less than two
years.
Solana price could easily octuple
Solana price has formed a bull pennant pattern on the
daily chart, suggesting an outlook that swings in favor of
buyers. By measuring the flagpole of the technical pattern,
SOL is expected to climb 89% and reach $310.
Since the breakout above the upper boundary of the
prevailing chart pattern at $166 on October 20, the bullish
outlook was validated and SOL already surged 57%,
reaching its all-time high at $260. Solana price is now
only 19% away from the upside short-term conservative
target at $310.
SOL/USDT daily chart
In the longer term, Solana price has the potential to climb
800% toward $1,523, the measurement of the ascent
from the bottom to the top of the flagpole of the bull pennant.
Although this figure may seem large at first, SOL
has seen a tremendous run of over 1,300% since the last
time the token has presented the same chart pattern.
The bull pennant pattern that formed on December 22
and broke out on March 26 presented a 94% upside target
for SOL but realized a 290% bull run. The slice above
the topside trend line of the pattern at $14 has eventually
witnessed Solana price surge by 1,360%, reaching the
top of the flagpole of the most recent chart pattern at
$215.

HEDGIE HOGS
make predictions with NFTs
@HedgehogMarket
They tell stories. Stories of rare creatures around the world who lurk
in the shadows, sniffing for secrets. If you’re fortunate, you may
happen upon one of these 10,000 hedgehogs who offer to predict
your future.
We first heard the calls of “wen NFT?” when we released our inaugural
Beta Hog collectible earlier this year, as a way of expressing our
gratitude to early adopters of Hedgehog Markets’ devnet platform.
Today, we’d like to thank our community for being early adopters of
our mainnet platform by introducing our first NFT collection: Hedgie
Hogs.
We’re awed and inspired by the Solana NFT projects and
communities that have grown this year. Hedgie Hogs are our way of
not only enriching our existing Hedgehog Markets experience and
community, but also a major step forward in our predictions market
platform development. We’re focused on utility above all else to
ensure long-term value creation and sustainability for our Hedgie
Hog NFT holders, who are also our valued platform users.
Hedgehog Markets launched on Solana mainnet in September 2021
with a new, innovative take on prediction markets: a concept called
No-Loss Competitions. In a nutshell, Hedgehog offers an arcade-like
experience where users stake USDC to receive game tokens. Users
then take positions in parimutuel prediction markets with these game
tokens, either increasing or decreasing their total balance depending
on if they predicted correctly. At the end of the competition, no matter
how they performed, users can unstake their full USDC principal; if
they made a lot of correct predictions and landed on the competition
leaderboard, they are rewarded with a share of the prize pool! No
loss, up only.

The first major utility for Hedgie Hogs is this: users can stake their
NFTs to enter exclusive no-loss competitions. And, we may be
biased, but we also think they’re super cute. Our first generative
collection consists of:
• Trader Hog
• Politics Hog
• Economist Hog
• American Football Hog
• Football (Soccer) Hog
We’ll be sharing samples of each on
Twitter and Discord this week. Which
ones are you most excited for? Keep

On November 24, 2021 at 1200 ET /
1700 UTC, you’ll have an opportunity
to mint your very own Hedgie Hog for
0.5 SOL! If you’re successful, we’d
love to see what unique Hedgie Hog
came home with you. Did you name
them? Are they your pfp? What’s their
backstory?
If you miss the first mint, don’t worry;
we want to make sure you can try again! This first mint will be for
5,000 out of 10,000 Hedgie Hogs. There will be subsequent mints
and more occupations to come, but there will never be more than
10,000 Hedgie Hogs.
Mint revenue goes back to benefitting you, the community, in the
form of prize pools and platform incentives.
Platform Utility
Hedgie Hog NFT holders will gain access to a special Discord
channel where YOU decide the no-loss competitions exclusive to
Hedgie Hogs. Once competitions are live, you can stake your Hedgie
Hogs to enter. To begin, these competitions will run in the existing

no-loss format; for each correct outcome, users increase their game
token ROI and climb the leaderboard for a chance at the competition
prize pool.
We’re really excited about this feature. This is a way to give our users
a say in platform development and a say in what you play! Our goal is
to empower our community and is one additional step towards what
decentralization may look and feel like for Hedgehog Markets. This is
just the beginning; keep an eye out for platform avatars and other ingame
actions ;) Some fun potential
ideas also include merchandise
and community votes to determine
where funds should go to generate
yield!

About Hedgehog Markets
The mission of Hedgehog Markets is to provide direct, veritable,
and open access to the wisdom of crowds. Hedgehog Markets was
founded by George Yu, a former Google and Oscar Health engineer.
Interested in exploring ways to better predict future events and
noticing a lack of user-friendly ways to do so, building a decentralized
prediction markets platform became a natural extension of that
interest. Hedgehog Markets was built alongside eiVentures (EIV), a
venture studio focused on DeFi and decentralized applications. Learn
