Welcome to Solana @avax Powered by @Sunrise_DeFi using Meteora Liquidity


If you guys haven't figured it out yet, almost all Defi/DAO token are truly uninvestible from my pov. Aave governance with Stani ruining the Aave token just made all this even more clear As it currently stands you have to fade: -Grifters/consultants/3rd party teams continually looting the treasury overcharging for useless services and value extraction -Overcome fake governance votes where votes are done in a cartel fashion and not in the interests of any actual retail token holders -Dodge left tail risk in the sense a team in any given moment will drive accrued value to equity or 3rd parties instead of the native token because there are absolutely zero shareholder rights except selling your tokens at a loss if/when this happens All of these things while trying to command premium P/E's in a space where disruption happens fast, cyclical revenue patterns, is just not a good usage of investor capital unless specific circumstances align perfectly The only investible model to me moving forward is: -The team completely owns the decision making/roadmap, no fake DAO stuff -Has long term incentives tied to the token value -Has made any equity a zero, both in their words and their actions -Has actual integrity so you do not have to watch them 24/7 and waste energy scrutinising every decision they take If a protocol does this, it allows you to then at least bet on a team and not just get sucked into a broken DAO model that will incinerate your capital. The model of the last 5y of trying to double dip (both equity and token) while doing the whole 'trust me bro' with respect to the token not being a zero is IMO finally officially over


Proposal: “The Bridge Across” A temp-check exploring whether Across should evolve from a DAO + token structure into a U.S. C‑corp. via a token-to-equity exchange and token buyout. Thread and proposal below ⤵️







Meteora by far and large has the best functioning IR component within the entire industry Major shout out to @pranave and their team for spearheading what this should look like at an institutional level We're at a major inflection point right now with the industry and if you have a liquid token and consider yourself a real business, take notes. Not spending any time, energy or resources on building out an IR function will punish you moving forward Better times are ahead

Today we publish Meteora's Annual Token Holder Report and Investor Relations page for FY2025. 2025 was a defining year for the protocol — beginning with breakthrough momentum from the TRUMP launch, through a period of significant product development that introduced DAMM v2, Dynamic Bonding Curves, and the Anti-Sniper Suite, and culminating in the $MET Token Generation Event in October. With this report, we aim to build a holder base that understands how this business works. We are introducing float-adjusted per-token metrics — a framework we believe more accurately reflects the economics of the $MET token relative to Meteora's underlying business. We introduce a float-adjusted per-token metric, one that we believe accurately reflects the state of the $MET token vis-a-vis Meteora’s business. Highlights: - Cashflows: $72.5M (Inflows), $40.5M (Outflows) - Treasury Position: $35.9M (SOL/USDC/USDT) - $MET Bought Back: 24,317,822 (2.4% of Supply) - Float: 31% of Total Supply (Actual Tradeable Tokens) - Cashflows per Float Token: $0.2342 - NAV per Float Token: $0.1159 The full report is available now on ir.meteora.ag — a dedicated Investor Relations page we are launching alongside this. Going forward, this is where all token holder communications, quarterly updates, and current data on fees, revenues, and treasury will live. Have a look and let us know what's missing. For those with questions after reading, we will be conducting our first Token Holder Call next Thursday, March 15th. Details to follow.



Since I took over @MeteoraAG last March, we have taken insider trading risk seriously and put real safeguards in place. Meteora is a permissionless platform. And especially over the last 12 months, we’ve invested tremendous energy into making it robust and reliable enough to ensure projects can launch without any support from us personally. As a result, we often find out about launches or integrations only after they happen. As just two examples, both $NYC and $YZY, two of the biggest launches on Meteora in the past year, happened without our prior knowledge. Our energy is fully focused on building the best technology possible to power launchpads and other platforms. Our focus is not to get involved with deployers themselves. We are laser focused on what we’re uniquely best at, and that’s building great infrastructure, products, and community around LPing. Yes, we’ve seen the Polymarket. To be honest, we were as surprised as you were. So we immediately did a detailed review of the situation. After review, we remain confident in the way we handle integrations, launches, and the standards we hold ourselves to as a team. It’s been almost exactly one year since me and @0xSoju took over Meteora. When we stepped in, things were rocky. But we knew we had inherited an amazing tech platform and an even more amazing community. Every day since then, we’ve put every ounce of energy into doing things the right way for the sake of our users and the greater DeFi ecosystem. I am deeply proud of our team and what we’ve been able to accomplish so far. And I promise you this: we’re going to keep doing the same goddamn thing every day going forward too.
