Sol Hodgepodge- ME drop, Jupiter launchpad, CryptoUndeads & more
Solana News&Thoughts
Table of Contents
Introduction
Hello World! This is the start of my blog, dedicated to the SOL ecosystem, mainly NFT’s. I’ve wanted to start a blog for a long time now, and the idea about a blog-newsletter came to me as I was going through countless streams of unstructured information on Twitter, realizing, that there’s no real blog-formatted newspaper for degens, focused only on Solana.
Well, that’s what I thought at first, and after a thorough research, I discovered that there are, indeed, a few of solana-based newsletters. However, none of them are focused solely on the daily stuff degens are interested in, and it is indeed very hard to cover all of what's happening. Well, I will try.
So anyway, this newsletter will cover a daily recap of what has happened in the space, hot upcoming mints on SOL, shitcoins, and whatever I feel like writing about. Every day, unless I stop writing about it.
Solana Hodgepodge
— Big things are happening at MagicEden
Tomorrow, MagicEden is rolling out their big announcement that they've been preparing us for a week.
Damn y'all aint ready for what ME is cooking
No information is available as of now; therefore, we can only rely on rumors. Tomorrow we might see the ME token or PFP-collection announcement.
Prob, tomorrow we have the @MagicEden token announcement.
The price of Magic Tickets has also soared 45%, leading us to a thought that owners might be eligible for an initial drop.

— Jupiter Launchpads
Jupiter Exchange announced 2 beta test launches coming up in the following two weeks after the successful $MockJup launch. Criteria for eligibility are not out yet.

— Shitcoins just won’t stop, will they
This feels like an absolute top for shitcoins, at least as high as we ever were, as 1 million accounts and multi-billion funds are shilling SPL tokens on SOL.
at least he aint shit himself LMFAOO $FORKT
You are unsure how to feel about Laser Eye Ben? Just think instead of Ben wif hat
The whole shitcoin situation is hard to fit into a short review format, so expect a separate post about new and not-so-new shitcoins worth keeping an eye on.
— CryptoUndeads
The most hyped, fudded, and anticipated project of the past weeks. CryptoUndeads successfully launched, revealed, and is back to 12 SOL after the post-reveal dump. Currently, CryptoUndeads is the top-ranking collection in 7-day volume across all chains.

At the moment, the Undeads are preparing for their first airdrop. From what we know, to be eligible your NFT should be delisted and vaulted as the project prioritizes loyalty over anything else.
Which trait should we pick for a surprise first? 👀
— Pingwing and Whacky Art Meta
Unfortunately, historically Solana NFTs have turned out to be very big on derivatives. This is not because we don’t have or can’t make our own stuff, but because every Sol degen feels an immediate urge, driven by FOMO, to parasitize on the success of any successful launch he misses. This is how the crossbreeding of BitcoinPuppets and Sappy Seals emerged: two collections, Pingwing and Sloppy Seels. The first ran to 2.85 SOL, and the latter to 0.4. Generally, I could have not included them at all, but derivatives are a big part of SOL shitcoins and NFTs, and usually, they do not live longer than a day. And at the time of writing, both dipped 70%+, therefore, by including them, I intend to address the risks of investing in derivatives.

— $PYTH
$PYTH exceeded 80k stakers, and just for the reference, 9 days ago the number was sitting at 5k.
75k $PYTH stakers and counting…
So if you’re into airdrops and you have infinite amount of liquidity you might want to start positioning yourself. If not, you may want to lower your expectations for this airdrop as the number of stakers grows parabolically.
— MicroSamurai
A fresh and interesting drop from the Web2 artist who worked with Adidas, Givenchy, Hamilton Watch, and Loreal Paris. The art is, without exaggeration, the best PFP I have ever seen. Just take a look yourself.

It currently sits at ~3 Sol, and we already know that there will be a drop of a second humans collection. To be eligible, you have to hold an NFT during two snapshots, the first is being taken between 22/01 and 28/01, and the second one on undisclosed dates.

— $HARAMBE prepare for take-off
$HARAMBE, currently at 23m, and the chart looks as if it’s ready to explode. Enormous backup from the influencers and community, I absolutely expect it to run higher (NFA).
