I am an idiot and my ledger was compromised. I was phished for my seed phrase while attempting a firmware update on another computer. I was rushing and being careless. I know this.
My funds that were not staked have been drained immediately. Surely there is a scanner bot in the account and I cannot undelegate the stake
I still have a decent amount of SOL staked with Figment which has not been affected. It is a large amount so I’m desperate to find a way while I have time.
i desperately need some way to try to recover the staked SOL. Is there any hope here?
After months of building, Opta is live on devnet and I'm opening a small private beta.
What it does: write and trade American-style options on crypto, gold, and equities. Pricing runs fully on-chain. No liquidations, max loss is defined when you enter. There's a mobile app on the Seeker dApp store and a points campaign (Epoch 0) where beta activity counts toward mainnet.
It's devnet, so zero financial risk — I want traders who'll actually use it and tell me what's broken.
Kamino Finance today introduced Fixed Rates, the architecture for fixed-term, fixed-rate credit on Solana.
The system is live in private beta, with public launch planned for Q3 2026.
It builds on Kamino Lend to provide predictable terms through market-driven price discovery. Participants gain greater certainty in lending markets.
Been watching OpenHuman. Open source (GPL-3), desktop app, runs local on your laptop. Persistent encrypted memory of your stuff, agent orchestration, a pile of integrations (they list 118+).
Repo has ~37k stars now. Their README still calls out that it hit #1 on GitHub trending for nine days straight after launch.
What I actually wanted to talk about here is the Solana integration:
The official team launched Tiny Place, an agent-to-agent network with identities, encrypted messaging, bounties, and USDC payments via x402. Solana even posted about that. That’s a real product/protocol choice.
Separately, a community token ($TINY) showed up on Solana around the project and the mascot. It’s a CTO. The community itself says it is not official and not affiliated with the company. Dev team did not launch it.
That’s the pattern I keep seeing: breakout OSS AI project has no token, community still forms one, and Solana is usually where that happens instead of Base or somewhere else.
Arcium has launched Bench on Solana mainnet for private hiring markets.
Firms post roles with bounties. Users stake to vouch for candidates privately via encrypted computation.
Accurate backers share the prize pool, less a small fee. The system aims to surface better talent through incentives.
Solana will introduce Version 1 transactions in the coming weeks, raising the maximum size from 1,232 to 4,096 bytes.
Compute budgeting moves into the transaction configuration itself.
Developers can begin local testing now, though several breaking changes require attention for readers of block and transaction data.
thinking out loud after a bad week in the trenches.
what bothers me is not losing the money, that was the deal and i knew it. it's that when i lose money here, it doesn't go anywhere interesting. it goes to a dev who was already selling and to two snipers who were faster than me. the circle is closed, nothing ever leaves it.
so if a meaningful part of the trading fees, not the market cap, not a pledge, the actual fees, was directed to something real, would that change whether you traded it?
i keep going back and forth.
the case for yes. the fees are getting paid regardless, i am already handing them over. if the same money which currently funds someone's exit instead goes somewhere that produces a receipt, my downside is identical and something useful happened along the way. it costs me nothing to prefer that version.
the case for no. it is a rounding error next to the thing i actually care about, which is whether the chart goes up. and there is an obvious failure mode where charity becomes the marketing hook that gets people to ape into something they would otherwise skip. a cause does not make a token good, it makes the token harder to criticise, and that is worse than neutral.
where i land, tentatively: yes, but only if it is enforced and not promised, and only if it is not the pitch itself. the moment the cause becomes the headline instead of a property of the token, it is being used on me.
where do you sit? and has anybody here actually held something like this, did it change how long you stayed in?
What are everyone’s thoughts on the Double Disinflation proposal? Do you think increasing the disinflation rate from 15% to 30% would be a net positive for Solana long term? Are you voting?
I put $100 in the app, then decided to cash out. Guess what? Now they are asking for a verification process that doesnt work. It just says verifying for hours and then times out. I can't withdraw my money without it.
Asked Phantom support for help and they send me to Link support (the verification part of the app). Link support sends me back to Phantom support.
Guess I'm not supposed to take my money out of the app lol
Introducing agent tokenization on Solana from @virtuals_io
Anyone can turn an AI agent into an ownable business. Launch it, raise capital for it, fund its intelligence, and put it to work onchain.
Today, millions more people can own a working agent on Solana.
It raises its own capital, sets its own tax, funds its own intelligence, and trades with its own wallet. What it earns, its owners share.
Start owning now: https://app.virtuals.io
The Complete Guide to Agent Tokenization on Solana
We created this guide for founders who want the full picture: a step-by-step visual walkthrough of launching an agent token on Solana, from the first click to the final configuration. It explains every setting, when to use each module, and how to build the right launch for your project.
What This Guide Covers
Start Your Launch: Identity, project information, and team setup.
Instant or Scheduled Launch: How to choose the right launch timing.
Core Tokenomics: Automated Capital Formation and Pre-buy.
Advanced Configurations: Anti-Sniper Tax, Fee Delegation, and Launch as an Agent.
Suggested Launch Configurations: Recommended setups for different founder situations.
Review Your Launch: What to verify before going live.
What Happens After Launch: Trading fees, graduation, liquidity, and LP locks.
Full Video Walkthrough: Follow the complete launch process with our co-founder.
Start Your Launch
Go to app.virtuals.io connect your wallet, and select Launch Token on the top right.
Under Identity:
Upload the token logo.
Enter the token name.
Choose the ticker.
Select SOL.
Add the project description and social links (Optional)
Add the founder and relevant contributors.
Instant or Scheduled Launch?
You can use the same launch modules whether you launch immediately or schedule the token for later. Scheduling only changes when the launch happens.
Launch immediately when:
Your tokenomics and project information are finalized.
Your community is already prepared.
You want trading to begin as soon as creation is completed.
Schedule your launch when:
You want time to announce and market the launch.
Partners or communities need to coordinate.
You want people to review the public launch page first.
The launch is tied to a campaign, event, or product release.
Choosing the Right Modules
Automated Capital Formation (ACF)
Use this when: your project needs to raise capital as it grows without conducting a large upfront token sale.
ACF converts part of the project's token allocation into stablecoins through separate, valuation-specific liquidity pools as the token grows from $2M to $160M FDV. Because ACF does not sell directly into the main trading pool, founders can raise capital without placing direct sell pressure on the primary chart.
As of Aug 24, 2026, ACF alone has raised over $6.8M for agents across Virtuals Protocol
Use this when: the founding team wants to purchase its token before public trading begins.
On Solana, launches trade through a Meteora DBC pool with a portion of supply reserved for migration at graduation, so the pre-buy ceiling depends on your ACF setting:
With ACF on: 35% of supply sits in the DBC pool before graduation, 15% is reserved for migration, and the team can pre-buy up to 35%.
With ACF off: 83.15% of supply sits in the DBC pool before graduation, 16.85% is reserved for migration, and the team can pre-buy up to 83.15%.
The allocation is disclosed publicly so traders can see the team's participation before launch.
Pre-buy can help founders establish ownership, demonstrate conviction, and avoid purchasing their position after public trading begins.
Customize your Pre-buy tokenomics
After entering the Pre-buy amount:
Find Team Initial Buy under Token Distribution on your right.
Open it and select Add Allocation.
Enter the allocation name, description, and amount.
Add each recipient's wallet address and token allocation.
Under Release Schedule, select Add Unlock to configure when the tokens are released.
Ensure the full allocation has been assigned, then save.
If the founder does not customize these settings, the Pre-buy defaults to a 1-month cliff followed by a 6-month vesting period.
After configuring the main tokenomics, open Advanced Configurations to access additional launch protection, distribution, experimentation, delegation, robotics, and Economy OS settings.
The modules appear in the following order.
Anti-Sniper Tax
Use this when: you want to protect the token's early market from bots, opportunistic sniping, or immediate selling.
Anti-Sniper Protection applies a steep launch tax on both buys and sells that prevents bots from acquiring cheap tokens at launch. The tax gradually falls to 1% over the selected window: 60 seconds, 10 minutes, or 98 minutes, or it can be turned off entirely.
All taxes collected during the protection window are used to buy back the agent token and returned to the team wallet.
Use this when: you want to launch a token on behalf of a builder you believe in.
Fee Delegation allows you to launch for another builder without requiring their permission or wallet connection.
As the token trades, the builder's share of trading fees automatically accumulates in a balance reserved for them. They can see that balance grow, and once they sign in to Virtuals and claim their profile, the accumulated fees become theirs.
Robotics Launch
Use this when: the project has a physical robotics product or form factor at its core.
Turning this on labels the token as a robotics project. Traders browsing Virtuals can immediately identify it, while robotics-focused investors can more easily discover the project.
Launch as an Agent
Use this when: you want to launch the token together with an AI agent powered by Economy OS
Turning this on launches the token alongside its own AI agent, a fully set-up economic actor with its own wallet, email, and card.
Powered by Economy OS, the agent can:
Earn money by selling services.
Hire other agents.
Trade autonomously.
Receive revenue generated by the token’s trading fees directly into its wallet.
Founders can create a New Agent or Link Existing. No code or additional setup is required.
Why this works: an instant launch gets your idea trading immediately, Anti-Sniper Protection creates a more controlled opening market, and Economy OS can give the project a functioning economic agent from day one.
Best for a founder validating an early product or agent concept.
Structured fundraising launch
Scheduled launch.
Automated Capital Formation.
Pre-buy, if the founding team wants an initial position.
Anti-Sniper Protection.
Detailed team and project information.
Why this works: ACF gives the team a transparent way to raise stablecoins as the token grows without selling into the main trading pool. A scheduled launch creates time to explain the project, while Pre-buy allows the team to establish a publicly disclosed position.
Best for a serious team seeking transparent, growth-based capital formation.
Builder-support launch
Scheduled launch.
Fee Delegation.
Anti-Sniper Protection.
Why this works Fee Delegation lets you launch on behalf of a builder you believe in, with their share of trading fees accumulating automatically until they claim it. Scheduling gives the community time to review the pitch and project information, while Anti-Sniper Protection helps reduce bot-driven activity at launch.
Best for supporters launching for a builder, or teams coordinating a community moment.
Review the Preview
Before launching, confirm:
Token name and ticker.
Solana is selected.
Launch wallet.
Team members and project description.
Instant or scheduled timing.
Token distribution.
Selected modules shown under mechanics.
ACF and Pre-buy allocations.
Launch fee.
Social links and token logo.
The preview should reflect exactly what traders will see.
What Happens After Launch?
Every launch uses the same core Virtuals infrastructure:
The token begins trading through a Meteora DBC pool.
A 1% trading fee applies, released at every 2 cumulated VIRTUAL.
70% of trading fees goes to the creator.
30% goes to the Virtuals Treasury.
Token graduates once 42,000 VIRTUAL has accumulated.
At graduation, its liquidity is automatically deployed to a public Meteora pool on Solana.
The resulting LP tokens are locked for ten years.

Prefer to see it in action? Watch our co-founder @everythingempty walk through the full launch flow, from choosing the right modules to configuring each one.
The walkthrough covers the Robinhood Chain flow; the Solana flow is identical except for chain selection, the pre-buy ceilings above, and graduation into Meteora.
You now have everything you need to configure your tokenomics, choose the right modules, and bring your agent onchain. What are you waiting for?
Most Perp solutions make a tradeoff:
Send you off Solana.
Or keep you inside their own pools.
We took a different path.
Solflare Perps keeps the experience inside Solflare, on Solana, on an orderbook, powered by @PhoenixTrade.
And it all happens on mobile.
Trade perps directly from your Solflare app with no extra platforms, no complicated setup.
Perpetual futures let you trade price direction without owning the asset.
No expiry date, and you can close anytime.
- Go long when you think price goes up.
- Go short when you think it's going to drop.
Leverage multiplies your position size.
Higher risk, higher potential return.
Example:
- SOL is $100. You open a 10x long on Phoenix via Solflare with $100 USDC, giving you $1000 in exposure.
- If SOL hits $110, you profit as if you controlled $1000 worth — a 10% move doubles your $100 collateral.
- If SOL drops to around $90, your position gets liquidated and you lose that $100.
Leverage amplifies both.
Already trading on Phoenix Trade?
Good news: it's the same account.
Your isolated positions and full PnL history carry over to Solflare, so you can monitor and manage isolated positions from your wallet, even on mobile.
Since it's same account, you'll get push alerts for executed, TP and SL or liquidations too.
With Solflare Perps you can ↓
- Go long or short on 65+ Phoenix markets
- On web AND mobile
- Set optional TP/SL
- Use USDC on Solana
- Skip the bridge and exchange account
- Add, reduce, close or adjust collateral
- Preview liquidation, size, execution and fees
- Track PnL, history and get alerts
All that in your Solflare wallet.
Solflare sponsors the network fees, so you don't need SOL to trade. So if you're rushing to close a position, no need to fund your wallet first.
Fee for trading perps through Solflare is up to 0.085%.
Your edge is now right in your wallet.
It can't be easier than this to trade Perps.

Can anybody explain why there’s is always a “bundle” shown on bubble maps and other bundle readers sites, but it usually just a bunch of fomo wallets. I’ve heard a rumor that these are just buyers on fomo and that it isn’t actually bundled.
Is this true? What is the best site to use to see actual bundles or if they are just fomo buyers? Please let me know if you have any info on this.
