<strong>Issue</strong> <strong>90</strong><br />

Let it be known that this week marked the resurgence of Solana. Where others have continually condemned<br />

the chain, the committed figured out a way to bring passion and euphoria back. Hence, this issue has a few<br />

BONK articles to bring you up to speed with WHAT you need to know and how to deal with $bonk. TLDR it's a<br />

token that the Solana ecosystem should embrace rather than treat as 'just another shitcoin'.<br />

One of the best things to emerge this week was 0xBanana's marketplace. A slick interface, an array of art<br />

to peruse, and talk about cheap entry prices! 0xBanana has been a longtime supporter, developer, and<br />

spokesperson for Solana. Definitely worth a visit. You will definitely find a piece that you will want to collect!<br />

Another longtime supporter of the Solana space is Barndog. Regularly included in #<strong>SHILL</strong>zine, Barndog reviews<br />

Solana games via his Youtube channel. When you think about Solana, it's not just about NFT and art. It's the<br />

whole ecosystem. We should embrace and support the space whichever way we can, and if it's via a simple<br />

VIEW of a YouTube or a LIKE on and artist's post, every little bit helps.<br />

The other side of this is perhaps the dark side of the ecosystem. A group of end-users whose sole puprose is to<br />

profit- not support. Genesysgo nft lockup round just finished and the dumpening was harsh. From a 30Sol floor<br />

price to 15! The dumpers collected their $SHDW token for lockup and proceeded to dump their NFTs with no<br />

consideration for the project. Likewise, projectX had $Bonk locked while $Bonk was cruising along. Once the<br />

unlock happened projectX holders dumped hard dropping the price by 50%. ProjectY will unlock soon, I expect<br />

the same results.<br />

By the time #<strong>SHILL</strong>zine launches this weekend, DAMfutures will have launched. Shoutout to CultureHacker and<br />

LowbrowNative who continually work at supporting the Solana space. NFTs under the #DAMfutures tag are<br />

listed on exchangeArt and Formfunction at bargain prices. An excellent entry point for all readers to consider.<br />

Like #<strong>SHILL</strong>zine, Damzine is FREE and makes nothing for the effort put in.<br />

Your support via retweets helps #<strong>SHILL</strong>zine reach a broader audience. Every retweet is greatly appreciated.<br />

@iamkadense<br />

If you have been active on Solana in NFTs, Art, DeFi or as a Dev, strong chance you received Christmas airdrops of<br />

Solana’s newest Dog Meme coin BONK!. So uhm ....what is BONK!?<br />

@bonk_inu It’s time for a Pengu (or Monke ATM)<br />

But 1st- I’m part of the early contributors and can directly benefit if number go up. I trade around my positions<br />

and can sell at any time. All my info is for entertainment purposes only. This is NFA. You should NOT take investment<br />

advice on twitter. I’m just a Pengu online<br />

We’re in a bear market, the key is to SURVIVE. No FOMO, make risk adjusted bets and capital preservation This is<br />

a DOG MEME COIN. Probability of going to ZERO is real and high. Imagine losing large amounts on a meme dog<br />

coin. Do not go BONKERS!<br />

Before we go into BONK!... Let’s explore one of the major catalysts behind this new meme dog coin Recognize<br />

this trustworthy face? Beyond the fraud he committed w/ customer funds, Alameda was known for their predatory<br />

retail tokens mostly launched on SOL. ie FTT, SRM, OXY, MAPS<br />

12 <strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>90</strong>


What was the commonality beyond these predatory tokens?<br />

All were Low float, High FDV (fully diluted valuation).<br />

What does this mean? Good thread on the topic: https://<br />

twitter.com/jonwu_/status/15<strong>90</strong>883272<br />

447258624?s=20&t=HeO4Y_Jm7uz8Qf-<br />

1f8UzeXQ… TLDR: Structure made it easy<br />

to manipulate price and dump on retail and<br />

inflate value.<br />

Quote Tweet<br />

The structure changes the narrative of what potentially the<br />

Solana ecosystem tokens can look like and engages a wide<br />

part of the Solana community.<br />

jonwu.eth @jonwu_<br />

Okay what do I mean by “low float / high FDV?” Float<br />

is just “the amount of shares/tokens circulating”--there<br />

are such things as low float stocks in the public markets!<br />

Solana has been plagued with these type<br />

of predatory tokens due to the unfortunate<br />

close relationship with capital from Alameda.<br />

BONK! reverses this model with a<br />

fair launch high supply, low FDV coin. A dog<br />

meme coin for the Solana Community.<br />

Bonk! is a Dog Meme coin that has incredible<br />

memable characteristics to build off of<br />

and legacy saying that exists in todays meme<br />

culture. Bonk!<br />

50% of airdrop goes to +40 NFT collections,<br />

15% Openbook Traders (wallets<br />

that used serum), 10% to Solana Artists<br />

and Collectors and 5% to Solana Developers<br />

By next day or so 50 trillion BONK!<br />

will have airdropped to over 50K active<br />

wallets on Solana over past year for free


Quote Tweet<br />

Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart<br />

Bonk is the first Solana dog coin for the people, by the people with 50% of the total supply airdropped to the Solana community. twitter.<br />

com/bonk_inu/statu…<br />

Of the remaining balance, 20% went to early contributors ( I am one and more to come on this) 15% will go to<br />

BonkDAO, 5% goes to marketing, 5% goes to Team Development and 5% was provided for initial liquidity Whitepaper<br />

for BONK! is close to release that outlines more detail.<br />

While rewarding active Solana participants, Bonk! also seeks to integrate widely across Solana to showcase the<br />

utility token across the ecosystem. In launching, we learned some things that will help improve Solana’s ecosystem<br />

Quote Tweet<br />

N◎M @TheOnlyNom<br />

So @bonk_inu highlights a few things on Solana to fix -lack of central dev registry -issues identifying staked NFTs -problems deploying<br />

time-delayed simultaneous LPs across DeFi -measuring 1/1 art volume -need for improved @openbookdex support But you’re all tweeting<br />

about $<br />

What happens when you give this Meme token to some amazing developers and projects across the Solana ecosystem<br />

for free?<br />

Quote Tweet<br />

degen poet @degenpoet<br />

The bear market has people jaded and cynical. Rightfully<br />

so and there was unusually strong FUD response by a few,<br />

so let’s start to address some of the main criticisms:<br />

FUD: - Set lowest tick size so you’re still a multi million<br />

market cap project at ~0.0000000001 This is FALSE. At<br />

lowest tick size, the FDV is just $100K with investments,<br />

sweat equity and time by 21 early contributors.<br />

FUD - This is clearly a Pump and Dump Token by the Early<br />

Contributors that own 20% of the supply! Early Contributors<br />

have NOT received tokens and linear vesting over 3<br />

years. Compare this with other NFT projects and tokens.<br />

Quote Tweet<br />

Bonk! @bonk_inu<br />

<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>90</strong><br />

contracts, with linear vesting over 3 years starting in January 2023.<br />

FUD - BOOGLEs got unfair share w/ 100 NFTs<br />

Own 1% Duck Punkz = ~◎40<br />

Own 1 BOOGLE= ◎2500<br />

If you bought, sold, created Art on @exchgART @formfunction @holaplex you got 10T to 19.6K Wallets or<br />

510,360,314.32 BONK!<br />

1/10 of a BOOGLE allocation for ANY Solana Art activity for free.<br />

FUD - This is clearly a Pump and Dump Token and on-chain shows dumping. This “Evidence” is liquidity provisioning<br />

where someone put up $3K to have anyone who received tokens to sell their potentially worthless Meme Dog<br />

Tokens to them.<br />

But even the loudest critics have moved on after learning more about the community fair launch and early contributor<br />

lock ups. We welcome the competition for another free fair launch high float, low FDV widely distributed<br />

Memecoin on Solana.<br />

Side note: Observing these ‘Saviours of Solana’ protecting the community who got 50% of the total supply free.<br />

W/ utility already for Bonk! could’ve launched a NFT project that required you to mint and receive Bonk! from<br />

staking yields. Instead gave for free.<br />

// Kadense @iamkadense<br />

Imagine people who have scammed and rugged projects FUDding a memecoin that was given as a FREE airdrop to a very broad number of<br />

participants in Solana NFT, Art, DeFi and Dev ecosystem for Christmas. Always a Scrooge or Grinch every Christmas season.<br />

So what happens with Bonk! from here? That’s will eventually be up to community w/ BonkDAO in process of setup.<br />

Early contributors will continue to steward partnerships, integrations and marketing spend on fun and utility<br />

around Bonk! within the Solana ecosystem.<br />

Will it be successful? ZERO clue and could become dust in a wallet Many unsuccessful launches of meme coins<br />

that have gone to 0. Bonk! launched in depth of a terrible bear market. Let’s see what the Solana community<br />

wants to do with it since we have given majority away for free.<br />

@GenesysGo<br />

This time last year we were deep into the launch of<br />

$SHDW! 2022 was a crazy ride for #Solana, #crypto,<br />

#NFTs, and our team in general! Tomorrow marks the<br />

bonus unlocks for the SSC NFTs that have been staked<br />

for 365 consecutive days as well. What’s next? Let’s set<br />

some context.<br />

A lot of #Solana tokens do everything they can to limit<br />

circulating value. They live in mortal fear of full dilution.<br />

Basically, looking at any super high supply token. We<br />

took a different route, $SHDW has a small total supply<br />

and we actively want to be fully diluted asap. Why?<br />

Because this is when true discovery happens. All the<br />

hype and/or FUD is stripped away full dilution removes<br />

so many unknown factors and quantities that can only<br />

be guessed at. So, what do you do in the case of $SHDW<br />

where there is a huge unlock coming? Easy, you BUIDL.<br />

The GenesysGo team has several goals over the course<br />

of 2023. 2022 was largely a foundation building year.<br />

In a lot of ways, things like $SHDW Drive and our<br />

decentralized #Solana RPC network were less of a proof<br />

of concept as it pertains to tech and more a PoC of our<br />

team.<br />

For instance, $SHDW Drive was a fresh take on #web3<br />

decentralized storage native to the #Solana ecosystem.<br />

Since it’s deployment six months ago Shdw Drive has<br />

stored over 7TB of data and provides a user experience<br />

that is VASTLY superior to other web3 storage solutions.<br />

While building $SHDW Cloud, ended up building our<br />

own custom consensus mechanism (DAGGER). We are<br />

still in the process of really exploring its capabilities but<br />

its speed and capability to handle large data structures<br />

is turning out to be surprising even to us!<br />

However, everything we’ve built thus far is super<br />

technical and is deep developer stuff. And while the<br />

possible use cases for DAGGER (think mobile networks,<br />

AI, machine learning, gaming) powered by $SHDW are<br />

seemingly limitless, sometimes you just need to have<br />

some fun.<br />

Which is why we’re deploying a v2 for the Shadowy<br />

Super Coder #SolanaNFTs! One of our biggest goals in<br />

2023 is to bring the SSC NFT and $SHDW into closer<br />

alignment and use that combination to make our<br />

community more accessible and friendly to the broader<br />

#Solana ecosystem.<br />

In the near future all SSC #NFT holders will have the<br />

ability to use $SHDW to upgrade their existing SSC to<br />

the new v2 version. The first thing you’ll notice about<br />

the SSC v2 is the high fidelity top tier artwork and how<br />

incredibly pfp friendly it is. Previews coming soon!<br />

Now here’s the cool part #Solana fam... When upgraded<br />

all SSC v2 #NFTs will look identical. Your coder and the<br />

traits are veiled in the shadows... Traits aren’t randomly<br />

assigned for SSC v2 however, instead holders use<br />

$SHDW to unlock and customize the traits of their NFT!<br />

Yep... that’s right... the look and feel of your SSC #NFT is<br />

fully in your control and can be changed at any time as<br />

many times as the holder desires! As a part of upgrading,<br />

v2 holders gain access to a marketplace of traits to<br />

unlock and build their trait inventory using $SHDW.<br />

Every time a v2 holder unlocks new traits for their SSC<br />

#NFT the $SHDW used to unlock that trait is burned and<br />

the NFT now has that trait unlocked and attached to it<br />

forever (with some exceptions, more on that below).<br />

Burn SHDW to unlock traits and give yourself more<br />

options!<br />

v2 holders can burn $SHDW to roll the dice on trait loot<br />

boxes with random traits inside or burn an additional<br />

amount of SHDW to instead unlock the exact trait that<br />

they’re looking for. We’ve built a mgmt. portal where<br />

holders can try different trait combos as well!<br />

Some traits will be able to be unlocked by any number of<br />

v2 holders, for example... maybe a generic black hoodie.<br />

Other traits will only ever exist on a finite amount of<br />

NFTs. Example, after 100 holders have burned $SHDW<br />

to unlock a “Frank’s Feet” trait no one else can.<br />

Side note... yes... that’s a real thing... if you’re a #Solana<br />

community member who doesn’t own an SSC and<br />

you’re confused it’s because you’ve missed out on a<br />

year of SSC holders peer pressuring me to mint pics<br />

20<br />

<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>90</strong>


of my feet... Fair warning, it’ll take a lot of $SHDW to<br />

unlock them.<br />

Eventually, we plan to release animation traits that can<br />

be unlocked and upgraded 3D artwork (the upcoming<br />

redesign is going to be a 2D/3D hybrid) but that’ll be in<br />

future iterations. The final form of the SSC and $SHDW<br />

mashup will see holders being able to upload custom<br />

traits.<br />

We want to give holders the ability to design, then<br />

burn $SHDW to upload their design, and empower<br />

them to either equip the trait themselves or sell it on<br />

the trait marketplace. Let’s talk about rarity. The base<br />

v2 effectively sets all rarities to zero bc no traits are<br />

assigned.<br />

Given that you’ll be able to trustlessly mix, match, and<br />

change the look of your SSC #NFT anytime you want via<br />

our smart contracts, that means that the overall rarity<br />

of your SSC is based on the traits you’ve unlocked by<br />

burning $SHDW. The gamification of rarity is going to<br />

be huge.<br />

It means that you, the holder, have an element of control<br />

over how rare or not rare your SSC #NFT is. Your NFT<br />

could suddenly skyrocket in value because you unlocked<br />

a super rare trait and that moved you from #3536 to like<br />

#7 on the rarity scale.<br />

Or, maybe you’re a member of both monkeDAO and the<br />

SSC community and you’re not sure which pfp to rock<br />

so the #Solana ecosystem knows where you belong.<br />

We got you fam! Unlock monkeDAO theme traits that<br />

would require you to own an SMB to be able to unlock<br />

and rep both communities!<br />

Uh oh... you sold your SMB? Sorry, but that trait is for<br />

monkeDAO holders only and so it would be restricted<br />

until a SMB was present in the wallet again. However,<br />

if you sold your SSC to someone who has a monkeDAO<br />

NFT in their wallet then that trait would become active<br />

again.<br />

So, if you’ve ever been super disappointed because you<br />

minted a #Solana #NFT and your trait combination was<br />

absolutely horrible then have no fear! While you may<br />

prefer to rock a less rare set of traits because they look<br />

cool all of your super rare traits are still attached to your<br />

NFT.<br />

Meaning, you can create a positive impact on the value<br />

of your SSC v2 #NFT simply because you have a really<br />

deep inventory. Meanwhile, $SHDW is being burned<br />

and therefore an increase in the supply of traits directly<br />

contributes to a decrease in the overall SHDW supply.<br />

As I had written back in December, our biggest goal is<br />

to create something that integrates SHDW and the SSC<br />

NFT more closely again but more importantly to create<br />

something that’s fun for the community to play with<br />

and makes them proud to own and show off.<br />

We think this will be a fun first step towards our team’s<br />

biggest goal for 2023, which is to enhance and expand<br />

the SSC community within #Solana and make it much<br />

more robust by creating new ways for people to enter<br />

and learn about the $SHDW ecosystem via the SSC #NFT.<br />

We’re viewing SSC v2 as an on ramp of sorts to expose<br />

people to what GenesysGo is all about, what we do, and<br />

how we do it. We realize that so much of our work isn’t<br />

the most fun stuff out there if you’re not a developer. We<br />

spent 2022 laying one foundation. Now, we lay another.<br />

Growing, enhancing, and merging the $SHDW and SSC<br />

#NFT communities going to be vital for SHDW’s long<br />

term success and we think this will go a long way towards<br />

achieving that goal. Plus, it’ll just be plain fun!<br />

We’re a minimum of 4-8 weeks out on the artwork and<br />

we have no intention of rushing. We have engaged with a<br />

top tier production studio (the same stupid who did our<br />

graphical redesign actually) and based on the examples<br />

we’ve seen of their work they are worth every penny!<br />

The good news is that the artwork is the closest thing<br />

to a bottleneck since the codebase for what happens<br />

behind the scenes has been being worked on for months<br />

and is more or less finished.<br />

Over the coming weeks we’ll be releasing sneak peeks,<br />

mood board examples, and finalizing the product<br />

experience we want to provide. In the meantime, holders<br />

of “virgin” SSCs (SSCs that have never been staked) can<br />

look forward to some special totally unique traits!<br />

We also know many members of our community received<br />

their $SHDW emissions from their SSC #NFT and, being<br />

the true believers they are, never sold. We have plans to<br />

ensure that wallets holding the specific tokens emitted<br />

to them by the staking contract will receive love as well!<br />

That’s it for now! We’re very excited about this endeavor<br />

as it not only creates a new fun use case for $SHDW but<br />

the SSC platform is one we plan to build and expand on<br />

in order to keep driving demand for newer, cooler, and<br />

more cutting edge upgrades to your #NFTs!<br />

We’re also exploring what it would take to allow other<br />

projects to use $SHDW in order to tap into our platform<br />

and provide their own #NFT collection the ability to have<br />

custom user controlled traits. Customization as a Service<br />

powered by $SHDW? Has a nice ring to it.<br />

@LtLollipop9<br />

So many salty people...fact is the answers were<br />

right in front of your face. This project wasn’t a<br />

random group of guys who wanted to make a name<br />

for themselves, so they launched a token...it was<br />

the opposite. A team of community members who<br />

have long established reputations and BROAD<br />

networks came together to create something they<br />

want to keep their name off as to not detract from<br />

the intent. A coin for the community. Airdropped<br />

broadly albeit not perfectly. I stand to deliver on its<br />

goals. Why did I ape so hard?<br />

Easy every model of Web3 I have worked through<br />

comes down to being the lowest friction model to<br />

achieve an intended result. This goes back to 0<br />

technical infrastructure. No voting, no debates, no<br />

fighting in discord for hours. Only one model works<br />

and it’s the collaborative system where trust is not<br />

even a question it’s a given. One where intents<br />

are never questioned, they are known because<br />

the collaborators know each other very closely.<br />

They know with a <strong>90</strong>% certainty how the group will<br />

respond thus they dont need a vote or poll they<br />

can just act.<br />

This is through small independent groups maybe<br />

10-30 people. These groups then will work as an<br />

individual unit in the Solana ecosystem, cohesive<br />

and aligned to common goals and values. As<br />

people may be parts of many of these groups, they<br />

will know common goals and missions and pull their<br />

other groups together when their interests/goals/<br />

visions align. All this self-policed via reputation.<br />

Loss of your reputation in one of these groups may<br />

have you removed...and struggle to find a new<br />

one. But when you scale this model, you create a<br />

never-ending web of collaborative groups...this is<br />

Web3.<br />

No leaders, no centralized governance only social<br />

governance between people and these groups.<br />

So why $BONK...the team is one of these small<br />

groups of 10-30 people. And likewise, I have a few<br />

small groups of 10-30 people and even though I am<br />

not part of that team our visions align...so I support<br />

them and the $BONK vision as if it was my own.<br />

These groups can choose to use SOL however<br />

many recognize that we got FUCKED because we<br />

relied on a token built by someone else. We are<br />

DONE with that.<br />

WE will control the means of exchange that we use.<br />

And I want others to embrace it as well because<br />

when we control this, we can influence not just the<br />

token, but we can self-police all users of via culture<br />

and social norms.<br />

Burning is an example of this. It was established<br />

to reward the early adopters and users as a<br />

deflationary supply means those who buy in later<br />

(when they realize they need to) will pay a premium.<br />

And by holding each other to it we can make the VC<br />

and institutions who got cheap Sol and FUCKED<br />

US on this downturn buy in at a premium like they<br />

made us. We put the RISK on them...not us.<br />

We can force them to care about the Macroeconomics<br />

of $BONK because they have RISK they need to<br />

manage. This is where the community takes back<br />

the chain because it can’t scale without a growing<br />

community and like all social systems ultimately,<br />

we control it IF we choose to take that control. Join<br />

me in this new meta where we will have influence in<br />

this chain we hold so dearly and close to our hearts.<br />

Where we have made countless friends many who<br />

are basically family.<br />

This is the future of Solana @aeyakovenko @<br />

rajgokal @Austin_Federa and it will be a Web3<br />

society built on $BONK<br />

@cenasvp<br />

If you don’t know, @tensor_hq is an NFT Exchange on #SOL built by @_ilmoi and @0xrwu. Back in September,<br />

they got placed at 2nd in Solana Summer Camp Hackathon. Since then, they are improving tensor everyday it is<br />

faster now and have so many features. I fking love the UI.<br />

Things I love on @tensor_hq. love to watch my favorite collections and look at the bottom to see if there’s any<br />

entry opportunity.<br />

I love the fact when you bid something and your bid is above FP it warms you about that. Also they got collection<br />

bid which is amazing.<br />

Sending NFTs never was so easy. Just go to your inventory select the collection you want if you want more than 1<br />

nft and just select your destination address. btw love this keys @subberxyz.<br />

<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>90</strong>


Recently they added Traits which makes so easy to see the fp of each trait and easy overall look about traits. Btw<br />

this @mobstudios_ looks fantastic.<br />

Thanks goat @permissionlesol for showing me this platform back in August.<br />

“Building in the Bear” @AlphaPharaohs<br />

WHO THEY ARE<br />

Founders: @nftimm_sol @StonerApe420_ @sn00zeCat @Bcn_CryptoShark<br />

A team that strives to build the most expansive, immersive, & radical community. Minted 10th June. Collection<br />

size: 5555 Pharaohs on the Solana Blockchain.<br />

CURRENT PLANS<br />

Tombraid platform which opens up the raid to earn capability to 5555 pharaohs. Revue shares from this as well<br />

as the ability to rent passes coming soon.<br />

Expanding the community facet of pharaohs & constantly inviting & helping individuals grow is one of the strong<br />

focuses of the team. Raids are also helping expand the reach of the community and projects as a whole.<br />

112<br />

<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>90</strong>


White-label the “TOMBRAID” platform — this expands into other projects, allowing them to also setup raids for<br />

their holder. SEERS: full tools & analytics suite, including a sniper bot developed by @CyberFrogsNFT with others<br />

to be announced soon.<br />

COMMUNITY<br />

A community of the most critical, helpful, & driven people on the space. Constantly demonstrating how to build<br />

despite the lack of mega funding.<br />

GOALS/VISION<br />

To be the most expansive community that reaches out to every sector in the space. Eventually onboarding more<br />

people from web 2 into web 3.<br />

<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>90</strong><br />

TOMB RAID PASS<br />

Processed social marketing buys for these blockchains. This access pass will offer a reduced TombRaid experience<br />

but targeted at each of the blockchains that they are minted on. Projects and people can book raids and pay with<br />

SOL.<br />

TOMBRAID<br />

Built to take the hassle out of raiding for all involved. Projects/people can book raids in a completely automated<br />

fashion, providing as big or small a budget as they like, & raiders get paid 0.01875sol for EVERY raid they complete.<br />

HOME OF ALPHA<br />

It is effectively a social media platform — we’ve coined it the “Reddit of Solana” because that’s exactly how it will<br />

work. All the alpha, all the drama, all the knowledge in the Solana space, all on one platform.<br />

114<br />

<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>90</strong>

@marcandrew45 @TheHenchmenNFT<br />

TLDR: Blue Chill, more than a news site - creating opportunities providing info. Great founder and team. Great collabs.<br />

Good vibes. Mint: soon 1. Project 2. Team 3. Road so far.<br />

The Henchmen (MINTING SOON!)<br />

Project What is the Blue chill? I can’t say it as well as @ARCE4SOL can say it. I call it your all-in-one place for Solana if you<br />

only got 5-10 minutes per day to be up to date.<br />

Is it a news site? Yes and no. It isn’t only a news site.


Yes, you will find news, but you will also find alpha, project reviews, tool reviews, wl opportunities and so on.<br />

There are possibilities for so much on there. The best part for you? You can earn money! You can send your posts,<br />

they will get curated and you earn money.<br />

This isn’t enough for you? The Henchmen got a good community. You earn points from being active on discord<br />

and twitter and can use them in the shop for like WL spots or $Sol. They have great collabs like with parrot tools.<br />

And don’t forget about the rugsino. What?<br />

The rugsino is like a game show, you present a rug and then you get an offer to make something out of nothing. It<br />

is much fun, and everybody enjoys it. As far as I know there are plans to automate it ongoing. Automate it? This<br />

leads to the team, which consists of OG Devs.<br />

Team<br />

Who talked Arce the founder before knows, he is a great guy. Got nothing to add there. You aren’t bullish when<br />

you see this devs? Morchize, Bored King and SSS. - You know, they can do stuff and they did. See you regarding<br />

thissoon.<br />

<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>90</strong><br />

Krookvocate for the creative part and Felipe as an advisor. These are<br />

great guys. Just look at what the henchmen did so far without paying<br />

shillfluencers just for selling them out.<br />

The project so far<br />

I joined the discord in May. Since then, we saw weird stuff in the<br />

crypto and also nft market, but the henchmen walked their path.<br />

Besides organically growing the discord and twitter there were several<br />

happenings.<br />

There were several episodes of NFT psychology with great people<br />

from the space. As far as I know, they were recorded so if you are<br />

interested in one of the topics, you can listen to them.


<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>90</strong><br />

119


get a rugsino entry - you can ask the founder anything<br />

there.<br />

If you want to stay and still believe in the Solana NFT<br />

ecosystem, The Henchmen are a project worth to look<br />

at.<br />

There was the pre-mint - 555 pieces for which you get<br />

an airdrop of the NFT after main - where the Devs build<br />

something cool. They build a contract where you could<br />

do on-chain breeding. You sent two rugs and in return<br />

got a NFT, which granted WL for the pre mint.<br />

Afterwards pre-mint contract holders were able to use<br />

the cheese sniper and have access to the trader dashboard<br />

from parrot tools. There also is a collab with degencoinflip.<br />

Isn’t that cool? The henchmen are connecting<br />

and building. Also look the people in their discord.<br />

I really wrote too much. Check out the henchmen<br />

twitter page @TheHenchmenNFT and join the http://<br />

discord.com/hnch to see what they are doing. Yeah I<br />

know discord isn’t as cool anymore, but - maybe you<br />

@JrdnJord<br />

The Solana Weekly summary will help you stay current on the continuously evolving<br />

Solana blockchain platform.<br />

Key Takeaways<br />

• Solana (SOL) Token Price Sees a Double-Digit Increase After Bonk (BONK) Airdrop<br />

• New Solana Dog-Coin Bonk Surges by 3,600% in a Single Week<br />

• Solana Sandstorm Hackathon with $200,000 in Prize Revealed<br />

• Magic Eden Resolves Fake NFT<br />

Ecosystem Updates<br />

As we enter the new year of 2023, let’s look at recent developments on the Solana network.<br />

1. Market Data<br />

Solana (SOL) Token Price Sees a Double-Digit Increase After Bonk (BONK) Airdrop<br />

This Tuesday, the price of Solana (SOL) increased by more than 17% after developers airdropped<br />

the Solana-based Bonk token to Solana users. However, the Solana coin has since<br />

cooled off, trading at $12.98, down 2.40% in the past 24 hours.<br />

Source: Sol Sniper<br />

Despite the fanfare surrounding its dog currency, Solana’s fate is still questionable despite a minor<br />

comeback. Many factors have contributed to Solana’s recent volatility. One of its most notable supporters<br />

is the former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, and several essential NFT projects intend to quit its<br />

network.<br />

Solana has started the new year off very well, and the price reflects that. I believe that the SOL price only<br />

has one way to go from here, and that way is up, banking on the Bonk token hype.<br />

2. Solana Network<br />

New Solana Dog-Coin Bonk Surges by 3,600% in a Single Week<br />

The new cryptocurrency Bonk Inu (BONK), a dog-themed meme coin that operates on the Solana<br />

152<br />

<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>90</strong>


lockchain network, has been performing well in the cryptocurrency market. The currency has soared to<br />

$0.00000<strong>90</strong>112 since its debut on January 3rd, 2023.<br />

Many cryptocurrency specialists find the BONK coin’s rise after its brief introduction pretty astounding.<br />

At this time, Bonk Inu’s value has dropped, trading at $0.000001526. The usefulness of the Bonk coin<br />

for investors and owners has increased over the last day due to the introduction of bonk-based trading<br />

activities and NFT mints on both centralized exchanges and decentralized apps. This token is a welcome<br />

surprise for the Solana community as it brings incredible potential to the Solana network!<br />

3. Solana DeFi<br />

Solana Sandstorm Hackathon with $200,000 in Prize Revealed<br />

At the beginning of this week, Mert Mumtaz revealed the Solana Sandstorm Hackathon project, which<br />

will take place between January 13th and January 23rd. This project will bring nearly 25 teams to part of<br />

the Solana ecosystem as sponsors of 20 tracks, be it DeFi, Mobile, Sports betting, etc. Moreover, LamportDAO<br />

and Helius Labs will organize it.<br />

Some notable teams are Phantom, Open Book DEX, Solana Foundation Eclipse, and many more! The<br />

hackathon will be done virtually with no registration required; The Sandstorm Hackathon has been met<br />

with positive comments from the Solana community, as they most eagerly await the fresh new ideas<br />

and projects this will bring.<br />

4. NFT<br />

Magic Eden Resolves Fake NFT<br />

One of the main draws of powerful platforms like OpenSea and Magic Eden is the safety precautions<br />

they take to ensure that only validated items may be offered. Unfortunately, during this week, it was discovered<br />

that several unverified NFTs were being sold in 4 collections on Magic Eden. When a problem<br />

like that occurs, it puts a bad image on a platform.<br />

Magic Eden was alerted quickly of this issue and, in a Tweet, stated that they would refund every<br />

individual who has purchased these fake NFTs. According to Magic Eden, an isolated UI bug caused the<br />

NFTs not to be verified, the problem has now been resolved, and it will not happen again.<br />

Additional Notable Events<br />

Solana Network<br />

• 5 Trillion BONK Tokens Have Been Burned Already<br />

• Solana Mobile Saga Hints At A BONK Burning Feature<br />
