Odaily reports: Crypto researcher Ignas posted on X platform, stating that he currently has "no FOMO" about trading on Arc, believing that Arc focuses more on forex, payments, and tokenization scenarios, and that the team's support for Crypto Native culture is relatively limited.Ignas stated that one of Arc's potential attractions may come from an ARC token airdrop. He noted that Arc has plans for 60% of its tokens to be allocated to the "ecosystem," but expects that the relevant tokens will be used more to incentivize ecosystem partners in payments, forex, and tokenization rather than Degen traders. Additionally, he believes that from Robinhood and Solana to Arc, the "Meme coin + stocks" playbook is being repeated, and unless Arc introduces a new narrative, he will look at other trading opportunities.
well-known trader Bonk Guy posted in a TG channel stating that Arc is essentially a stablecoin public chain, and suitable use cases such as stablecoins may be found in the future. Although he has already bought Meme coins on the Arc chain, he plans to hold them for only a few days at most, and emphasized that if participating in Meme coin trading on Arc, it should be treated as a short-term opportunity.Bonk Guy further pointed out that for a long time, Arc has been one of the "best-executed" public chain launches. In the early stages after launch, the project connected to multiple key platforms such as FOMO and DEX Screener, with major launch platforms including Argus, Tolly, Lift, and Long. However, Arc is not the next Robinhood, BNB, or Solana, and users should participate cautiously, noting that treating it as a similar public chain may lead to losses.
Bitget Wallet announced its completion of network integration on the very first day of Arc's launch, delivering stablecoin-native on-chain financial infrastructure to 100 million users. Bitget Wallet users can now add the Arc mainnet directly within the wallet, swap for Arc native tokens, and bridge assets from mainstream chains like Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, and Base to the Arc network. As one of the first aggregators integrated with Arc, the enterprise-grade API platform Bitget Wallet X has launched multi-chain liquidity aggregation, cross-chain transfer, and market data APIs, enabling developers to build Arc-native applications directly without needing to construct their own liquidity routing. Bitget Wallet plans to further deepen its integration with Arc. Arc is a Layer 1 network purpose-built for global payments, foreign exchange, and capital markets. It natively uses USDC to pay gas fees and delivers sub-second transaction finality. To date, its public testnet has processed over 500 million transactions, supporting nearly 3 million wallets. This integration will further expand Bitget Wallet's stablecoin payment infrastructure, accelerating the adoption of stablecoins in everyday cross-border payments and consumer use cases.
According to official news, Alph Ai has officially integrated with the Arc chain and launched an Arc cross-chain trading portal, allowing users to quickly bridge from Solana, BSC, Base, and other networks into the Arc ecosystem to directly participate in Arc-related asset trading.Alph Ai stated that it has completed product support during the Arc ecosystem's early stage. Users can track Arc ecosystem Launchpad activity through the platform and trade Arc native tokens. Gas fees on the Arc chain can be paid directly with USDC, eliminating the need for users to prepare additional native Gas assets and lowering the barrier to entry for trading on the new chain.
Odaily News: Solana lending protocol Kamino has announced the appointment of Yieldstreet co-founder Michael Weisz as Chief Executive Officer, with plans to establish its headquarters in New York. Kamino currently manages assets totaling $1.4 billion.Kamino plans to expand its lending business for tokenized real-world assets, covering blockchain-based home equity loans, and to strengthen ties with Wall Street institutions.Kamino stated that the platform has processed over $650 billion in cumulative transaction volume over the past four years; its PRIME lending market surpassed $600 million in deposits within 107 days of launch.

According to Cryptopolitan, the on-chain market size of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) has surpassed $38.6 billion, with over 4.24 million holding addresses. Among these, US Treasuries account for the largest share at over $15.9 billion; commodities $4.9 billion, active strategies $3.6 billion, asset-backed credit $2.56 billion, and tokenized stocks $2.52 billion. In terms of on-chain distribution, Ethereum leads with $17.3 billion, followed by BNB Chain at $5.6 billion, while Solana ranks third with $4.3 billion.
Odaily News: Solana has increased the maximum size of a single transaction from 1232 bytes to 4096 bytes. The upgrade went live on the mainnet on Tuesday at approximately 1:00 UTC, at the start of epoch 1035.The upgrade introduces the v1 transaction format and maintains full backward compatibility with legacy transactions. Existing applications and wallet providers can continue using the original format, while protocols that need to leverage the increased capacity must upgrade to v1 transactions.The Solana Foundation stated that the capacity increase will support more complex operations within a single transaction, such as zero-knowledge proofs, multisig transactions, and new on-chain signing schemes.

Odaily Report: Monad co-founder Keone Hon posted on X stating that 0x published an interesting yet critical article this morning exploring an emerging phenomenon that first appeared in PropAMM (proprietary AMM) and has now spread to Uniswap v4 Hooks.In short, malicious market makers switch back and forth between "extremely narrow quotes" and "extremely wide quotes." They use extremely narrow quotes to attract aggregators into selecting that trading venue; however, once a user's trade is actually routed there, the quote immediately switches to an extremely wide spread. Slippage settings (i.e., limit protection) can protect some users—causing the trade to simply fail—but many users set slippage tolerance too high, and those users suffer extremely brutal "exploitation"—the article points out that certain Hooks maliciously switch back and forth between 0% and 18% fees.A few months ago, Solana also published a very insightful article analyzing a similar phenomenon occurring on Solana aggregators, though the fee cap was around 1% rather than 18%. A few days later, they quietly took the article down.The vision of an open system is to eliminate intermediaries and hidden fees. "Aggregator Spoofing" constitutes a massive hidden tax burden, and this problem can only be truly solved through fully-on-chain order routing. In turn, on-chain routing requires abundant computational power and flexible account access mechanisms—requiring both an extremely high-performance and efficient EVM and a well-designed on-chain routing protocol.Earlier this morning, 0x posted stating that the number of malicious Uniswap v4 Hooks has increased significantly recently. Some Hooks offer attractive prices during the inquiry phase but change the execution price at actual settlement, thereby stealing funds from users through aggregators, wallets, and trading applications.

Odaily News: Trader loshmi stated that he closed all positions on September 13, realizing $327,400 in profits from 30 days of public trading. He said he began buying when STONK had a market cap of approximately $1 million over a month ago and continued to add to his position as the price declined.Stonkfun is a Solana token launch platform that went live on August 3, allowing creators to pair new tokens with tokenized stocks. STONK is the platform's native token.loshmi disclosed that his portfolio once rose from $5,000 to over $25,000 before falling back to $4,000; during this period, he also lost over $6,000 due to a hack. He cited fatigue from intensifying competition in recent market trading as the reason for closing his positions. (Bitcoin.com News)
Odaily reports: Bonk Guy posted on X platform stating that over the past few weeks, multiple developers associated with the Arc ecosystem have proactively reached out to him, hoping to attract Meme coin traders during the network's early launch phase. He believes that the Arc team has recognized that Meme coin trading is one of the ways for a new chain to rapidly boost on-chain activity, and may be borrowing Robinhood Chain's previous ecosystem cold-start playbook.BonkGuy stated that he had not previously paid much attention to Arc, but has recently begun making short-term positioning moves, having already purchased LONG, the native token of Arc's main Launchpad, as well as the top three Meme coins by market cap on that platform. However, he emphasized that his positioning in Arc is merely a short-term high-risk attempt and has not changed his long-term view that on-chain trading activity on Robinhood Chain, BNB Chain, and Solana is more promising.Previous reports indicate that the Arc mainnet will launch on September 16.
Odaily News: Crypto trader Bonk Guy posted on X platform responding to recent controversy surrounding his purchase of EMBER and explaining his position-building logic. Bonk Guy stated that he first noticed the project when EMBER's market cap was around $3 million but did not buy in. After observing for a day, he revisited his research due to the platform's rapid data growth and bought in from around a $7 million market cap all the way up to a $20 million market cap.Bonk Guy said that EMBER is a major Launchpad built on Meteora, supporting SOL, USDC, and over 150 tokenized stocks as pairing assets for token issuance. It utilizes Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve technology and offers features such as token fee distribution, Daily Jackpots, and DAO governance.According to his disclosure, Ember has recorded approximately $51.7 million in trading volume, $561,000 in fees, and has cumulatively issued 2,041 tokens within 3 days of launch, with over 41,800 unique holder addresses and 149,000 Solana transactions. BonkGuy compared his Ember purchase to his previous PONS trade, noting that he first saw PONS when its market cap was below $1 million, similarly ignored it for a full day, and then started buying at around a $4 million market cap. Rather than whether a trending token has already emerged, what matters more is observing the real usage data underlying the Launchpad.Additionally, Bonk Guy stated that both Robinhood Chain and BNB Chain have multiple successful Launchpads, while Solana's Meme trading ecosystem has been developing for a longer time, so there is no reason to believe that Solana can ultimately only accommodate one successful Launchpad. He also stated that his trades are not based on market consensus. Some of his most successful trades in the past often came from discovering opportunities before the market formed a consensus; by the time everyone agrees, the asymmetric upside potential has usually already been significantly reduced.Regarding the recent controversy, Bonk Guy said that the claim of "EMBER having over 50% Bubblemaps address clusters" has been clarified by Bubblemaps; his earlier statement that Ember was "launched by Meteora" was also inaccurate—a more precise description is that Ember is built on Meteora-related infrastructure and has now been listed on Meteora's ecosystem page. Bonk Guy emphasized that he has no relationship with the Ember team, and EMBER is a personal trade for him.
Hey Wallet, a Solana-based social wallet, has announced the cessation of its product operations and reminded users to back up their wallets on the official website. Operating since 2021, the project previously supported users in making SOL transfers, tipping creators, minting NFTs, and trading tokens via social platforms such as X, Telegram, and Discord.
Odaily News: In response to the discussion about "why Coinbase would consider Jesse Pollak its onchain savior," Cobie said that although he does not agree with all of Jesse Pollak's views, he believes this assessment is well deserved.Cobie pointed out that Jesse Pollak drove Base's launch from scratch, and argued that Base arguably pioneered the trend of enterprises building their own chains that later followed from companies such as Stripe and Robinhood. Base's development predated the 2023 Solana meme coin wave, and Jesse Pollak kept pushing the project forward through the bear market after the FTX collapse until it launched.Cobie also said that Jesse Pollak has indeed made some mistakes over the past year, but what deserves respect is that even after facing long-term criticism from Crypto Twitter, he still keeps showing up and putting in the work every day.
that, according to Anza monitoring, the second step of Solana proposal SIMD-0437's rent reduction will take effect on the mainnet on September 11 at approximately 21:15 UTC, corresponding to epoch 1033. At that time, the lamports required per byte will drop from 6333 to 5080, a cumulative decrease of about 27% from the initial level, further lowering the deposit required for on-chain storage such as creating token accounts. There is currently no fixed timetable for subsequent steps; the third step will begin only after on-chain state growth is confirmed to be safe. If anomalies occur, SIMD-0438 can serve as a fallback mechanism to adjust the rent parameters back. At present, three steps remain in the five-step plan.
Odaily News: Well-known trader Bonk Guy responded on X to the STONK community's questioning of his purchase of EMBER, saying that some community members believed his buying another Launchpad token meant he was trying to challenge STONK's industry position, a reaction he called "extremely exaggerated." He pointed out that STONK's second-largest holder had previously bought EMBER at a $2.8 million market cap and remained bullish for several days without being questioned, while after he bought EMBER at a valuation about 6 times that holder's entry price, he was treated as "the villain," which clearly reflects a double standard.Bonk Guy emphasized that he remains bullish on STONK and had publicly praised STONK even when he held no position, with that post now having over 400,000 views. He said that support for STONK from core teams in the Solana ecosystem is one of the biggest reasons he shifted back to a bullish outlook after being broadly bearish on the Solana ecosystem for months prior, and he believes that if one is bullish on STONK's long-term vision, this pullback caused by community controversy may instead be a buying opportunity.Bonk Guy said he has long mainly traded low-market-cap projects because he believes such assets offer a better risk-reward ratio, and he rarely buys large-market-cap tokens even when he is bullish on their future performance. He also said that his purchase of EMBER had no "PvP" (player versus player competition) intent, that STONK and EMBER can absolutely succeed at the same time, and that the view that "only one winner can exist in a sector" actually goes against the essence of the crypto industry.Bonk Guy also said that the STONK community's strong reaction this time actually demonstrates its community cohesion, and that competition and multiple projects winning together are good for the industry.
Odaily News: According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, Unipcs (2heJ...LDogF) spent $300,000 worth of SOL and USDC half an hour ago to buy 27.9 million EMBER at a market cap of $11 million, and then published related content. Afterward, EMBER's market cap rose from $11 million to $30 million.
According to GMGN data, Ember Curve's platform token EMBER on the Solana blockchain surpassed a $37 million market cap just one day after its launch, rising over 150% in the past hour and recording a 460% gain over 24 hours.
$STONK is a Solana-based token, and StonkFun is a website for issuing and trading tokens on Solana. The current on-chain price of STONK is approximately $0.2089, with a market cap of $178.65M.
the Solana core development team Anza posted on X platform stating that Mainnet Beta Transaction V1 will begin activation at epoch 1035, expected around September 15 at 1:20 UTC. The ecosystem team stated that more time is needed to test and integrate V1 support; V1 is currently live on devnet and available for integration testing. In V1, compute budgets are set through new transaction configuration settings. Compute budget instructions remain usable in legacy transactions and V0 transactions, but will not take effect in V1; application developers, even if they do not plan to send V1 transactions, need to check how the relevant changes affect their applications.
