Flipside SOL Intern

You’ve seen the memes Now it’s time to see the data $BONK is out in the wild, and there’s no stopping it 127 solana programs have already interacted with it, more than all other SPL tokens but USDC and native SOL That’s right, more Solana programs are using $Bonk than Tether!

A little life update; "i ain't reading all that" folks, get your digs in 🫡 ----- Five years ago, I went all-in on crypto. Back then, it was about building out a crypto asset scoring product (s/o @theericstone in particular for letting me lay hands on your baby), based on & backstopped by data. Hard numbers, not vapor. Five years is a long time in crypto. In that span, I’ve met a ton of exceptional people across literally hundreds of projects. You know who you are. Also in that time: I’ve been fortunate to spend much of the past 18 months in East & Southeast Asia. My professional career began in 2014 with several months in Manila (yes I'm old haha). Getting back to Asia & witnessing crypto blossom - in Singapore, and Japan, and Indonesia and Taipei and dozens of others - has been truly special. I look forward to my return, whenever it comes. ----- As for now… My inner circle knows I’ve had the immense privilege to join forces with @milesfinch and @runkellen: two of the smartest, most dialed people I have ever met. Over the past five years of fulltime crypto, I’ve had the privilege to wear every hat under the sun (product, marketing, community, client service, global expansion, BD, you name it). With Slant, I get to step into the arena directly. Couldn’t be more jazzed about that. @slant_ai is getting very, very good at predicting things. And markets. Get ready.(you're not ready) ----- All that said: five years felt like the right moment to pause and express my gratitude. And so: thanks to everyone who’s helped me out along the way - most especially, to the Cantina & analyst community that's formed over the past five years. By every conceivable metric: you are the best there is. I am beyond grateful to have met you. The wind blows wherever it will. Thus far, it’s sent me on one heck of a journey. I look forward to sharing the next part of that journey - every bit of it - with all of you. Let’s get after it. /

Feeling extra bullish @slant_ai today Don’t underestimate the power of the data community

We're accelerating

1/ We're excited to announce our 1st Eternal winner is @slant_ai, an AI data scientist with research-grade Solana analytics! Eternal is a perpetual challenge for crypto startups looking for accelerator acceptance in-between @Solana hackathons. Congrats @runkellen+@MilesFinched!

Next hype cycle alert: Internet Capital Markets! Most coins on @launchcoin have pumped 3-4x in the last few hours. Some say its democratizing funding. Others: its memecoins++. No one knows if itll last. Thats why we need to have frameworks to turn hype into LT growth. #IDG

Last week was my last at @flipsidecrypto Proud of what we've built over the last ~4 years and have met some incredible people along the way, but it's time for something new I'm teaming back up with @runkellen to launch @slant_ai - Solana's data science assistant

This week getting into the nitty gritty Teaching Slant to write its own @flipsidecrypto queries and gib some nice charts

Airdrops are the crypto equivalent of throwing money from a helicopter and hoping it lands in the hands of your future community But is this approach working? Our on-chain EVM analysis tells a different story and why using more Intelligence-Driven Growth is important 👇

Calling all on-chain detectives: We are sponsoring the analytics track for the [REDACTED] Hackathon🕵️ Flex your SQL skills to push the boundaries of security, transparency, and on-chain intelligence all while earning juicy prizes

In today's charts that may look cool and suggest a pattern but you shouldn't jump to conclusions based just on it we have: the @solana SIMD-228 Validator Vote Breakdown, which visualizes a prominent trend where smaller validators tend to vote NO, while larger validators vote YES

Update on my @colosseum Eternal hackathon progress 10 days in, my agent already knows more about Solana than I do Now time to see if it can surpass my sql skills in the next 10 days

This cycle, we’ve seen 10x the data usage thanks to platforms like Flipside, Blockworks, Helius etc Still, the ability to produce research remains in the hands of few technical experts Today I begin my 4-week sprint for @colosseum's Eternal hackathon to change that Moar soon™️

Market's so bad my charts have started offering condolences instead of insights

🚨 Recent data reveals strong user retention for @VECTORDOTFUN on @solana: 🔹 55% of new users remain active for at least two consecutive weeks 🔹 48% stay active for three consecutive weeks 🔹 Over 45% continue their engagement for a full month

Today, we're unveiling AI Insights - transforming how we understand blockchain activity across chains to drive growth for serious participants When every blockchain movement could signal the next trend, distinguishing meaningful patterns from market noise is now imperative to stay ahead

They said it couldn’t be done on Flipside But all I heard was “try to build a ME staking snapshot tool on a Flipside dashboard” After an unseemly amount of CTEs, we now have empirical proof of @MagicEden staking growth - with voting power doubling over the past month Up only

Listen up NERDS. Stop choosing to be average. It's time to level up. Wouldn't you like a free course that teaches you: 1) Professional Dashboard Building. 2) Storytelling with Data. 3) Networking. Bonus: Get paired as an analyst with a project building on Monad. The Monad Metrics Guild, a community of analysts partnered with @flipsidecrypto , is starting cohort 2. We want motivated and passionate individuals to join our community. If you missed cohort 2, no worries, we're providing you the chance to catch up with an application below. Make sure to sign up.👇
