The Sky is Falling!<br />

You could be forgiven thinking that the end is here! We had such promising rumours last<br />

week that VanEck had filed for a Solana ETF, which gave a little uptick to the price of $SOL. It<br />

sent ripples across the marketplaces, reversing the downward trend across major pfp projects<br />

(MadLads from 65, back to 100, SMB Gen2 from 24 to 35). $SOL itself was saved from a sub $124<br />

floor price with an immediate bounce back into the $130 range.<br />

But it didn't last. Almost as quickly as the rumour appeared and prices started recovering, we saw<br />

a sea of red across all major crypto. Strangely, pfp projects were holding on to their new floors. I<br />

don't expect it to be for much longer, and we should see the likes of SMB Gen2 below 20 $Sol.<br />

All the while, there are a myriad little projects out there that continually grind away. Whether<br />

there's good news or not. JulesL's AccessProtocol weekly review is such a refreshing take. I think<br />

it's really important that the offerings on AccessProtocol have a voice like JulesL, otherwise the<br />

constant DRiP would flood social media.<br />

DRiP, loved it for what it was doing early on in the piece. But now, it's a constant cacauphony of<br />

images that I can't keep up with and have become desensitised to. I don't even look anymore.<br />

There's just too much.<br />

Over the last couple of #<strong>SHILL</strong>zine issues we have had RADY [just over there ->]. Saros has<br />

announced that the Rady NFT and project will be launching on their platform. Personally, I've<br />

been intrigued for weeks and still have no idea what RADY is about. Soon?<br />

WIth this issue, #<strong>168</strong>, I'm putting this together in Seoul, Korea. Next week's issue will be coming<br />

to your from Porto, Portugal and issue 170 from Amsterdam, Holland. I'm going to try my best to<br />

keep #<strong>SHILL</strong>zine as true to its style as possible. We'll see.<br />

This week was a bit of an effort to source content and NFTs. A slimmed down issue it will be with<br />

just under 90 pages you can tell that the entire spce just doesn't have that 'buzz' about it.<br />

Time to dive in. Appreciate what we have this week. There are a few committed to the grind, let<br />

them know you appreciate it.<br />

@sol_nxxn<br />

Let’s talk about the protocols without points systems that can give us airdrops.<br />

1. Jupiter (@JupiterExchange)<br />

The obvious one. The second round of JUP will happen in January and they have<br />

no points system or leaderboard. To maximize your allocation you should use<br />

Swap, Limit Order, DCA and other Jupiter features and grow your volume there.<br />

There are also rumours that your participation in LFG votes and holding such<br />

assets as JLP and JupSOL will also matter. I recommend to complete all these<br />

actions to make yourself eligible for the better Tier. (https://x.com/sol_nxxn/status/1789685545351754046…)<br />

2. Meteora (@MeteoraAG)<br />

Meteora don’t have any official points counters or leaderboard. But they have a<br />

method to count user’s activity and volume to give $MET airdrop allocation. To increase<br />

your allocation, you should just use the platform - simple pools and DLMM.<br />

I would recommend DLMM because there are more fees you can earn. And their<br />

hidden points system favour the amount of fees you earn more than amount of<br />

money you deposited in the pools The full guide you can find here if you need it -<br />

https://x.com/sol_nxxn/status/1800983777608704221…<br />

3. Flash Trade (@FlashTrade_)<br />

8 <strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>168</strong>


Flash Trade is very undervalued protocol itself, especially their pools. They have no<br />

points system and have never even mentioned any airdrops, but they will have a token<br />

and I am sure all your activity there will matter. This one is not 100% confirmed but I<br />

would recommend having exposure! I’m currently providing liquidity in FLP. 1 and fees<br />

there are decent lately.<br />

4. Solayer (@solayer_labs)<br />

Restaking Network on Solana. Already had few epochs for deposits and have their own<br />

LST - sSOL. They do not have a points system. I’m also sure that such a big company<br />

with unique products and solid investors will have its own token at some point and such<br />

early contributions in early epochs will be rewarded!<br />

All these protocols are still considering all your activity but don’t have a public points<br />

counter and leaderboard, that’s why they aren’t that over farmed and won’t be diluted<br />

so much, worth to get exposure to them, especially if you find the products useful!


JupiterExchange<br />

Over the next two months, the Jupiverse will have 3 critical votes, 2 token launches, and 1 delightful reward<br />

for Catdets everywhere.<br />

Here’s the high-level view of where we’re going, together: July kicks off with the inaugural Active Staking Rewards<br />

(ASR) claim for everyone who voted on proposals from March to June.<br />

Then, the cloudmen of @sanctumso will be launching the $CLOUD token on the LFG Launchpad.<br />

Before the end of July, we’ll have the first pivotal J4J vote on reducing long-term emissions and the $JUP token<br />

supply by 30%.<br />

August will start with a vote on the continuation of Jupuaries, where users of Jupiter products receive a $JUP<br />

airdrop. After that, @deBridgeFinance will launch their $DBR token on the LFG Launchpad.<br />

Finally, there will be a vote on the last element of the new J4J plan on renewing ASR beyond the first 2 quarters.<br />

If that feels like a lot to keep track of: don’t worry, we got you. Expect detailed content around key JUP ideas<br />

such as 50/50, Jupuary, ASR, Community Eats First (CEF), and Giant Unified Market (GUM) to be released from @<br />

JupiterExchange and @weremeow over this period.<br />

MEW Token Claws Its Way to the Top of Solana Memecoin Market<br />

Cats vs. Dogs: MEW Token’s Rise on Solana Blockchain<br />

In a world dominated by dog-themed memecoins, a new contender has emerged, challenging the status quo with a feline<br />

flair. Enter MEW Token, the cat-themed cryptocurrency making waves in the Solana blockchain ecosystem. Launched<br />

on March 25, 2024, MEW is not just another memecoin; it’s a revolutionary project aiming to disrupt the dominance of<br />

popular dog-themed coins like Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB).<br />

Paws for Thought: Strategic Tokenomics<br />

MEW’s innovative approach starts with its tokenomics. To create a stable price floor and reduce volatility, MEW implemented<br />

a strategic burning mechanism, incinerating 90% of its liquidity pool tokens. The remaining 10% were airdropped<br />

to the Solana community, ensuring broad engagement and support from the get-go. This unique approach mirrors historic<br />

crypto moments like the 2017 CryptoKitties surge on Ethereum, showcasing MEW’s potential to make a significant<br />

impact.<br />

Building a Feline Community<br />

MEW’s strategy goes beyond numbers and charts. It has built a strong, vibrant community through strategic partnerships<br />

and captivating promotional activities. A standout collaboration with LOCUS Studios, a top-tier animation studio, has<br />

brought MEW’s cat-themed narrative to life with high-quality animated content. This partnership has transformed MEW<br />

from a mere token to a cultural icon, resonating with a broad audience.


Looking Ahead: MEW’s Promising Future<br />

The future looks bright for MEW. Its solid foundation, built<br />

on strategic token burns and community engagement,<br />

promises long-term stability and investor confidence. As<br />

MEW continues to innovate, it aims to lead the pack—or<br />

rather, the clowder—of cat-themed cryptocurrencies,<br />

offering fresh opportunities for investors and enthusiasts<br />

alike. MEW’s journey is one of community spirit, innovation,<br />

and cultural impact, setting it up for a vibrant future<br />

in the ever-evolving crypto landscape.<br />

What Sets MEW Apart?<br />

MEW Token’s unique cat-themed narrative and strategic<br />

market positioning distinguish it from the sea of dogthemed<br />

memecoins. By burning 90% of its liquidity pool<br />

tokens and airdropping the remaining 10% to the Solana<br />

community, MEW has crafted a balanced and sustainable<br />

growth<br />

model.<br />

This<br />

strategic<br />

approach<br />

has rapidly<br />

built a<br />

strong,<br />

active<br />

community,<br />

propelling<br />

MEW<br />

to notable<br />

heights in<br />

market cap<br />

and user<br />

base.<br />

Market Performance and Adoption<br />

Since its launch, MEW has seen impressive growth, quickly<br />

attracting over 151,380 active token holders and significant<br />

trading volumes. Its innovative tokenomics and community-driven<br />

growth have positioned MEW as a promising<br />

player in the crypto market. As the landscape continues to<br />

evolve, MEW is poised to lead the niche market of catthemed<br />

cryptocurrencies, offering a fresh and engaging<br />

alternative to the dog-dominated space.<br />

Join the MEWvolution and be part of a community that’s<br />

not just investing in a token but in a cultural movement.<br />

Keep an eye on MEW as it continues to claw its way to the<br />

top of the crypto world.

Copycat Endeavors and Hype, or a Realm of Genuine Art & Creativity?<br />

Cheri Wilson<br />

The Non-Fungible Token (NFT) market has undergone dramatic shifts since its surge in popularity.<br />

While the initial buzz brought about a wave of innovation and creativity, the landscape<br />

has since been inundated with copycat projects and hype-driven trends. This phenomenon has<br />

raised concerns about the authenticity and artistic value within the NFT ecosystem. Moreover,<br />

the integration of NFTs into emerging areas such as book ePublishing highlights both the potential<br />

and the challenges of this technology.<br />

The NFT space has seen a significant increase in derivative and low-effort projects. This trend<br />

is partly due to the low barriers to entry for creating and selling NFTs. Virtually anyone with<br />

basic technical knowledge can mint an NFT and list it on a marketplace. This ease of access<br />

has led to a saturation of the market with projects that often mimic successful ones, hoping to<br />

capitalize on their popularity without offering unique value or creativity.<br />

The allure of high financial returns has attracted many speculators, leading to a focus on marketability<br />

over artistic merit. Trends and memes, often propelled by celebrity endorsements and<br />

social media virality, have overshadowed more substantial and innovative works. This environment<br />

fosters a cycle where projects are quickly created to ride the wave of the latest fad, only<br />

to be abandoned when the next big thing emerges.<br />

One of the promising areas where NFTs are making inroads is book ePublishing. Authors and<br />

publishers are beginning to explore NFTs as a way to tokenize books, offering unique digital<br />

editions and exclusive content to readers. This approach can provide new revenue streams<br />

16 <strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>168</strong>


and foster a closer connection between authors<br />

and their audiences. Additionally, NFTs can offer<br />

authors more control over their work and its distribution,<br />

potentially reducing reliance on traditional<br />

publishing models.<br />

Despite these issues, the NFT space is not devoid<br />

of genuine artistic endeavors. Many artists<br />

and creators continue to leverage NFTs to push<br />

the boundaries of digital art. However, their work<br />

often gets lost amidst the noise of repetitive and<br />

superficial projects.<br />

Scalability <strong>Issue</strong>s<br />

As NFT adoption grows, scalability remains a<br />

significant challenge, especially on platforms<br />

like Ethereum, where high gas fees and network<br />

congestion can hamper user experience.<br />

Solutions such as layer 2 scaling and alternative<br />

blockchains are being explored to address these<br />

issues.<br />

Regulatory Uncertainty<br />

The regulatory landscape for NFTs is still evolving,<br />

with governments worldwide grappling to<br />

define their legal status. Clear regulations are<br />

essential for fostering investor confidence and<br />

protecting consumers.<br />

Security Concerns<br />

The increasing value and complexity of NFTs<br />

have made them targets for hacking, fraud, and<br />

intellectual property theft. Robust security measures,<br />

including secure smart contracts and<br />

decentralized storage, are crucial for protecting<br />

digital assets.<br />

Looking ahead, several trends and developments<br />

suggest that the NFT market may mature and<br />

move beyond its current state of hype and speculation:<br />

Mainstream Adoption<br />

NFTs are expected to see increased mainstream<br />

adoption, driven by improved infrastructure and<br />

innovative use cases. This shift could lead to<br />

a broader range of industries and applications<br />

leveraging NFTs for real-world value. Industries<br />

such as real estate, entertainment, and intellectual<br />

property are already exploring how NFTs can<br />

transform traditional practices and unlock new<br />

opportunities.<br />

Cross-Platform Utility<br />

Interoperability will become a key focus, allowing<br />

NFTs to move seamlessly across different blockchains<br />

and ecosystems, enhancing their liquidity<br />

and utility. Projects like Polkadot and Cosmos<br />

are pioneering this movement, enabling greater<br />

flexibility and usability for digital assets.<br />

Sustainable Practices<br />

The NFT industry is increasingly prioritizing sustainability,<br />

with efforts to reduce the environmental<br />

impact of NFT transactions. This shift is critical<br />

for the long-term viability of the market. Solana,<br />

in particular, is leading the pack in this regard;<br />

offering a blockchain known for its energy efficiency,<br />

ease of access, and affordability. Solana’s<br />

low transaction fees and high throughput make<br />

it an attractive option for creators and collectors<br />

looking for environmentally conscious solutions.<br />

Integration with Virtual Worlds and Gaming<br />

The gaming industry and virtual worlds are set to<br />

be major drivers of NFT adoption, creating vibrant<br />

ecosystems for buying, selling, and trading<br />

digital assets. Games like Axie Infinity and virtual<br />

worlds like Decentraland and The Sandbox show<br />

how NFTs can create new economies and enhance<br />

user engagement.<br />

Community Growth through Web3 Adoption<br />

and Beyond<br />

The only real way to grow NFT communities is by<br />

bringing new people into the Web3 ecosystem.<br />

This requires education, accessible platforms,<br />

and user-friendly experiences to help mainstream<br />

audiences understand and engage with blockchain<br />

technology. However, reaching beyond the<br />

online ecosystem is equally important. Offline<br />

initiatives such as workshops, exhibitions, and<br />

collaborations with traditional art institutions can<br />

play a vital role in introducing NFTs to a broader<br />

audience. By lowering the barriers to entry and<br />

emphasizing the benefits of true ownership and<br />

digital asset security, the NFT community can<br />

attract a more diverse user base.<br />

While the NFT space is currently grappling with<br />

issues of copycat projects and undue hype,<br />

there remains a core of genuine, innovative art<br />

that holds promise for the future. As the market<br />

evolves, addressing scalability, regulatory, and<br />

security challenges will be crucial for unlocking<br />

the full potential of NFTs and ensuring that true<br />

artistic value can flourish amidst the noise. Moreover,<br />

integrating NFTs into new domains like<br />

book ePublishing can further expand their utility<br />

and appeal.<br />

For a deeper dive into these trends and challenges,<br />

you can explore more detailed discussions<br />

on platforms like HackerNoon, Clementius, and<br />

Simplilearn.


@sol_nxxn<br />

Restaking is transforming the way we enhance Solana.<br />

Here’s how it works and why it’s cool - @solayer_labs<br />

1. Restaking<br />

Solayer is building a restaking network on Solana to enhance security and infrastructure for developers and<br />

improve the experience users have when using dApps. Restaking is a concept in security that enables you to<br />

use your tokens more than once to secure multiple networks. And Solayer leverages the economic principles of<br />

staking to enhance the security of Solana’s base layer. In simple words it’s like liquid staking your SOL to get an<br />

LST - sSOL, but you will also help to make the whole network more secure!<br />

2. How it helps the network<br />

It is a shared validator network that secures and powers other Solana-integrated systems. SOL is traditionally<br />

used to secure Solana L1. Solayer makes it possible to extend stake towards dApps to secure network bandwidth<br />

and off-chain systems like oracles, bridges. Simply, Stakers can provide more utility and earn more yield, Apps can<br />

have higher TPS and better security!<br />

18 <strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>168</strong>


3. More interesting details<br />

Solayer uses staked assets to provision Quality of Service (QoS) at the validator level. This means that more stake equals<br />

more transmission allowance on the validator, which translates to a higher success rate for dApps sending transactions<br />

to the epoch lead. They envision a future marketplace for such bandwidth allowances and also use staked assets to<br />

secure other distributed systems.<br />

Allocation of network resources such as block space and transaction processing capacity is fundamental for any chain,<br />

especially Solana. This is why Stake-weighted Quality-of-Service (stQoS) is of such importance to them.<br />

What is stQoS? It’s a feature that enables block producers to prioritize transactions as an additional Sybil resistance<br />

mechanism. It allocates network resources based on stake, so more stake means more resources and a higher likelihood<br />

of transaction success. This is especially beneficial for validators who pair with RPC nodes. Through stQoS, validators<br />

with higher stakes can transmit more packets, ensuring better service quality and increased Sybil resistance by preventing<br />

low-stake validators from flooding the network.


4. Numbers<br />

Now, Solayer has $85M TVL and almost 50,000 depositors. Episode 1 is now live, which means depositors could claim<br />

their rewards. Based on the deposit amount, you will get a snapshot of where you are and what rank you have, which<br />

will be revealed at the end of EP 1. Extra credit and referral boost will be considered as well.<br />

5. Summing it up<br />

The product is unique and important for the ecosystem, that’s why people like Toly are supporting them. Similarity with<br />

Eigenlayer is obvious, it’s also restaking but on Solana and while EigenLayer only supports exogenous AVSs (bridges, oracles),<br />

Solayer offers both but prioritizes endogenous AVSs (swaps, DeFi dApps, marketplaces etc.) It’s amazing to have an<br />

opportunity to highlight such important products!


Pump.fun vs. Moonshot<br />

Profile / X<br />

DEX Screener launched Moonshot last week as a direct rival to Solana meme coin factory Pump.fun. Both platforms<br />

aim to offer an easy way to launch crypto tokens.<br />

Although broadly similar, both platforms have their own unique perks and quirks that may see users lean towards<br />

one platform or another.<br />

Pump.fun launched at the beginning of the year, soon it was used to create huge tokens like Michi, Billy, and a<br />

slew of celebrity meme coins from the likes of Caitlyn Jenner and Jason Derulo. It’s also been the starting point<br />

for a wide array of political meme tokens inspired by the likes of Trump and Biden. Not to mention the degenerate<br />

livestream meta. Pump.fun undoubtedly has a first-movers’ advantage.<br />

As for Moonshot, it’s only a week old—but it has quickly caught the attention of the industry. DEX Screener was<br />

an already established tool in the meme coin space, and is attempting to funnel users into its new offering.<br />

We compared the two meme coin creation protocols to help determine which is the best place for you to launch<br />

your next viral token.<br />

Meme coin security<br />

One of the biggest selling points for DEX Screener is its focus on security and transparency. DEX Screener says<br />

that its launchpad ensures that all the smart contracts behind meme coins launched on the platform are fully<br />

audited.<br />

This comes after Pump.fun was hacked by a purported ex-employee who claimed the protocol had numerous<br />

security flaws, raising concerns within the community.<br />

“There’s no public information available on audits or security contests for DEX Screener or Moonshot,” Immunefi<br />

Head of Triaging Adrian Hetman told Decrypt. “So, it is difficult to assess their claimed audit level or code quality<br />

for their launched tokens. At the moment, there’s no proof behind the statement.”<br />

As for security measures that everyday investors can exercise themselves, Pump.fun recently implemented<br />

blockchain visualizer Bubblemaps into the protocol.<br />

This allows investors to see how much individual wallets hold, and which wallets have interacted with each other.<br />

Equally, you can see the holder distribution in list form, as well as a list of the trades made on the site.<br />

DEX Screener has similar features, with a list of holders and recent trades. But it’s worth noting that Pump.fun<br />

appears to only record trades made through the protocol.<br />

Ease of meme coin launches<br />

Pump.fun saw success mostly due to how easy it was to launch tokens on the platform. All you have to do is fill in<br />

your desired token name, ticker, description, and attach a photo before you pay 0.02 SOL ($3) to bring it to life.<br />

This isn’t any different than using Moonshot, even down to the fee you pay to launch. Both platforms let you add<br />

social media accounts to your token page, although Moonshot allows you to add more links. Again, both protocols<br />

give you the option to buy an initial portion of the tokens.<br />

In this category, both platforms appear nearly identical in functionality. Simply connect your wallet, fill in the<br />

short form, and pray your meme coin reaches the moon.<br />

<strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>168</strong><br />

Tokenomics<br />

How to<br />

On Pump.fun, tokens must reach a market capitalization of approximately $60,000 for the bonding curve to be fulfilled,<br />

which thus leads to the token being launched on Solana decentralized exchange Raydium. This is the primary goal for<br />

every newly launched token on the platform, potentially reaching many more traders in the process.<br />

As for Moonshot, tokens must reach a market cap of 500 SOL ($73,000) before the project migrates to Raydium. This is<br />

slightly higher than Pump.fun. But the way it works on Moonshot, the platform will automatically burn 150 million to<br />

200 million tokens to create a deflationary effect that could boost the token’s value over time.<br />

But take note: It’s still unclear what determines the exact amount of tokens burned.<br />

Neither platform allows token pre-sales and both cap the meme coin token supply at 1 billion.<br />

Aesthetic and history<br />

When it comes to meme coins, tokenomics often feels secondary to aesthetic and cultural relevance.<br />

Due to being the first mover, Pump.fun has a natural advantage when it comes to its place in crypto culture. In addition<br />

to this, the protocol embraces the degenerate side of crypto with the site looking similar to a 4chan board—especially<br />

its message thread.<br />

Conversely, Moonshot leans more into the digital native nature of the platform, opting for a Monster Energy-like color<br />

palette full of neon green. This, combined with the site’s rounded edges and modern buttons, makes the site look a bit<br />

more clean and professional in comparison to Pump.fun’s all-out degen vibes.<br />

Stats compared<br />

Let’s get nerdy with it and compare stats.<br />

Since its launch, Pump.fun has been used to generate a whopping 1.2 million meme coins, while Moonshot has launched<br />

26,000 on behalf of users, according to Dune dashboard data. It’s important to remember that Moonshot launched last<br />

week, whereas Pump.fun opened its doors at the start of the year.<br />

Comparing the daily stats, Pump.fun still dwarfs Moonshot, launching 9,000 tokens on Sunday compared to Moonshot’s<br />

1,700 tokens.<br />

This obviously translates into revenue, with Pump.fun bringing in $600,000 while Moonshot made only $80,000, according<br />

to DeFi Llama. Pump.fun clearly takes the cake in this category. It’s currently the 11th most profitable protocol<br />

on DeFi Llama, so this is no surprise.<br />

The two platforms see eye-to-eye on most things. Pump.fun leads in some categories right now, mostly due to its first<br />

mover advantage, while Moonshot is attempting to be the more polished platform claiming to have better security. It’s<br />

similarly easy to launch Solana tokens on both platforms, so play around with them and see which offers the best fit.


Pump.fun pages are reminiscent of 4chan.<br />

On Pump.fun, you can sort and order every token on the platform how you please, from the last reply to the highest<br />

market cap. You have five options for sorting listings on Moonshot, but not one that allows you to sort tokens by their<br />

market cap.<br />

It’s a feature that, on Pump.fun, makes it easy to see the platform has been the launchpad for tons of successful meme<br />

coin projects, including Michi, Iggy Azalea’s MOTHER, and Shark Cat.<br />

As for Moonshot, it’s hard to tell. One of the most successful tokens from the platform thus far is FIRST, with a $1.2 million<br />

market cap. For the sake of comparison, Pump.fun-launched Michi has a market cap of $140 million.<br />

Moonshot opts to keep it sleek and neon green.


SOLANA ETF<br />

We will tell you even more, 2 SOL ETFs are being prepared right now and could be accepted very soon. Such a big<br />

demand on Solana and its ecosystem right now.<br />

We are moving in the right direction!<br />

NFTS ARE BACK<br />

Recent NFT mints showed an obvious strength, such as GigaBuds and Sensei Pandas.<br />

The biggest Solana NFT collection got swept for almost $1M and back to 100 SOL floor price.<br />

Maybe we are getting the NFT season back soon!<br />

NEW DEFI PRODUCT<br />

AdrasteaFinance finally released the first version of their product.<br />

Very anticipated DeFi product built on top of Jupiter’s JLP token is live in beta and collecting people’s feedback.<br />

SOLANA SUMMER<br />

We will probably see more than 5 airdrops during this summer - Sanctum, Kamino S2, DeBridge, Exchange Art,<br />

Divvy Bet and still unknown if Grass will drop this soon or not.<br />

Solana Summer isn’t stopping!<br />

CRYPTO ADOPTION IN JAPAN<br />

Japan is going to have their crypto exchange soon. They announced it today.<br />

A lot of crypto adoption events happened in Asia during this year and even more will come. Crypto is all over the<br />

world.<br />

LULO: DEFI SAVINGS ACCOUNT<br />

Have you ever imagined to have your savings account with bigger APY right on Solana?<br />

Lulo (Twitter) is Solana Lending Aggregator.<br />

It includes such platforms like @KaminoFinance , @DriftProtocol , @marginfi , @mangomarkets and @solendprotocol<br />

into its system.<br />

The concept is very easy. You can just deposit your USDC here and the platform will automatically lend it with the<br />

protocol that has highest APY right now.<br />

It reroutes the funds every 60 minutes to the provider with the best rate to earn maximum yield for your stables.<br />

24 <strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>168</strong>


That’s how such DeFi savings account can make up to 15% - 17% APY on your USD.<br />

But one more interesting detail.<br />

It also allows you to farm all those mentioned protocols from the wallet you are using Lulo, so by using the platform you<br />

will farm points in all 5 lending protocols which will help you to get additional airdrops at the end of the farming seasons.<br />

HOW TO MAKE YOUR STABLES WORKS<br />

There are many ways to use your stables to generate yield on Solana, let us show you some of them!<br />

1. Lulo<br />

We already told you about this one above.<br />

It’s an automated lending so you can just deposit your USD here and relax, it will be finding the best rates for you to<br />

have the highest APY up to 15%<br />

2. Jupiter LP ($JLP)<br />

It’s an LP token. Big part of Jupiter perps fees from traders are going there, that’s how the money is flowing there.<br />

But so far, JLP has been showing great performance and going up only over time and provides a very decent APY just by<br />

holding an LP token.<br />

3. Drift Protocol USDC Vault<br />

Drift has their own Insurance Fund Vaults, including USDC vault with the current APY around 22$ which is very good.<br />

They actually share their revenue with the stakers and allocate it every hour proportionate to staked amount. But APY<br />

here isn’t stable and can be around 40% and also go to 12% - 15%, but still an amazing product from trusted team that<br />

will generate some yield for you.

y ChefGunny.sol<br />

A look to the charts of the strongest tokens within the Solana ecosytem, and why this is a pivotal<br />

period in the markets.<br />

First up is none other than Solana’s $SOL token itself. As shown below, the price is at the same level<br />

as exactly four months ago, which reflects the ‘boredom’ in the markets currently. Compared to most<br />

altcoins, $SOL is holding up well, managing to hold its ground above the low that formed on May 1st<br />

at $119. The 0.382 line, beneath the 50% level is a key price level that $SOL will need to overcome to<br />

push upwards.<br />

$SOL 1D TF<br />

You can see that $SOL has indeed flirted with this line on many occasions in recent months, both from<br />

the upside and the downside, even selling off abruptly from this level in the recent session. Whilst<br />

$SOL is technically ‘weak’ below both the 0.5 and 0.382, the swing indicator (yellow) highlights a recent<br />

change in trend and is certainly one to watch for the next leg up.<br />

52 <strong>SHILL</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> #<strong>168</strong>


$DRIFT 1D TF<br />

Considering that most of the market is bleeding day-by-day, it is encouraging to see such strength in $DRIFT.<br />

To the downside, there is plenty of support at the $0.46, $0.40 and $0.33 levels, each marking a considerable<br />

area of previous support as shown. In the other direction, there is little obvious overhead resistance apart from<br />

$0.58 and $0.69, the two swing tops highlighted in yellow. This lack of previous price action to the north of the<br />

market is a key factor as to why $DRIFT could perform very well, should it continue its upward trajectory.<br />

$BONK 1D TF<br />

Dropping down to the 4H timeframe, we can get a little closer to the market action, and look at the shorter term<br />

trends. This is important because long-term trends form only from shorter term trends, such as the 4H. As you<br />

can see, there has been an obvious shift in the market direction in recent sessions, with $BONK now printing<br />

consecutive higher lows, and higher highs. It is still early days, but this could indicate the beginning of a larger<br />

uptrend for $BONK.<br />

Finally, $RNDR. Having already seen a monumental increase from $0.28 to $14, almost a 50x, it’s no surprise<br />

that it has spent the past few months within a range. It is my opinion that this is major reaccumulation, before<br />

heading further upwards. In terms of the chart, like the others mentioned, $RNDR is one of few to maintain its<br />

earlier bottom, and whilst it is approaching that level, it has not broken it YET. This is key.<br />

$RNDR 1D TF
