One year of Seeker @solanamobile From 100 to 1,200+ active apps. SKR: from staking incentive to payment layer. Hackathon winners → Seeker Summer featured apps. The full picture - what grew, what didn't, and what the next 12 months will test.

Which Solana launchpad fits your team? Most new launchpads don’t just raise money. They also set the rules for how it’s spent after the raise. Match by team profile: 1/ Startups with a live product or revenue: @MetaDAOProject ▫️ How: curated 4-day USDC raise, treasury run by decision markets ▫️ Now: “ownership coins”. Teams get 0 tokens at launch, unlocked only at 2x–32x price after an 18-month cliff ▫️ Numbers: 22 funded raises · $45.4M raised 2/ Small teams testing an early idea: @backabledotbiz ▫️ How: open to anyone, escrowed funds, full refund below the minimum, monthly budget ▫️ Now: Syndicate filled a $600K round on Oct 11, Inner Table ICO opens Oct 20 ▫️ Numbers: 14 funded raises · ~$1.35M raised 3/ Builders without top-tier VC backing, including AI agent teams: @sagapad_icm ▫️ How: permissionless futarchy raises, open to human projects and AI agents ▫️ Now: first 3 raises were consumer apps built to stand out on Seeker, founder stories on @theshiptalk ▫️ Numbers: 3 funded raises · ~$478K raised of $693K committed 4/ Startups that want real equity, not just a token: @stardotfun ▫️ How: ~10% of company equity tokenized and sold on-chain, BVI entity via Bedrock ▫️ Now: DualMint, a yield token backed by claw machines, filled its $227.5K round on Oct 8 ▫️ Numbers: 3 funded raises · ~$358K raised 5/ Teams that want full control of their structure: @metaplex Genesis ▫️ How: launch pool, presale or auction, no futarchy ▫️ Now: open presales and native vesting since September, 9 sales at a combined $470M+ FDV ▫️ Numbers: 9 funded raises · $13M+ raised Pick by what you’re ready to be accountable for after the raise, not by how much you can pull in.

Solana DEXs handled $1.82B in swaps on Oct 19: more than 1 in every 4 dollars traded on decentralized exchanges that day. That's ~28% of all DEX volume ($1.82B of $6.49B). BisonFi ($250M) and Orca ($240M) led the day. Under that trading sit ~$15.8B in stablecoins on @Solana. Think of it as digital dollars parked onchain, ready to pay, swap or save. And ~$5.88B is locked in Solana DeFi apps: money people trust these apps to hold and put to work. Which of these 3 numbers surprised you most?

Elon Musk will give 1 SpaceX share to every kid in America in 2027. That’s ~72M shares, worth ~$10.5B On @Solana, 86,000+ holders didn’t wait. SPCX, tokenized SpaceX stock issued by @Backpack Securities, already had that many holders on Oct 17. It trades 24/7, even when Nasdaq is closed.

The first episode to stream live on 3 channels at once. 8/ The Invisible Layer of Onchain - @bencirc, @Charchit_WEB3 → MEV is quietly taking your money, and your RPC is leaking your wallet's identity. Both now have a fix. 9/ Jurassic Finance - @Sora_i_guess → Tokenizing real dinosaur fossils, after a Stegosaurus skeleton sold for $44M. 10/ watchdotfun - @watch_emperor → Turning real Rolex watches into a gacha box with published odds.
