What The Hook: the first MEV bot built inside a Uniswap v4 hook (no chart)
Bulgarian team of seven (White Collar + out-of-range dev) runs an arbitrage hook that captures the slippage spread on swaps atomically and redistributes it — roughly 2% capture rate on $3.35M in arbitrage volume over just 20 days, about $60-62K distributed back to traders and LPs versus the ~$1B/year MEV bots currently extract. Tokenomics showed $1.2M in the LP against a $3.6M FDV with 47% of supply parked out of range for asset managers and VCs, and a new partnership with Hooker (Nodar) brings a custom executor. Host take: cautiously optimistic — free revenue for launchpads is a no-brainer, but 47% supply control with anonymous devs is the watch item.
RatSpeak: offline mesh-network protocol up 52x
Founder dude.eth (Kyber and Aave alum, 200 deployed Helium hotspots) builds an encrypted mesh over LoRa/Bluetooth/TCP — offline messaging, offline transactions, even agent-native micropayments in the X402 mold. The Base token launched via Banker Bot a few months back, initially without his knowledge; he holds roughly 5% of supply and fees fund the network. The chart went from ~$100K to a $5.8M high — a 52x — and the host pulled it up on screen as one to keep watching.
Scopel turns limit orders into liquidity positions that pay you
Simon's platform compresses a Uniswap v3 LP position into a single-asset range so a fill behaves like a CEX limit order — zero slippage, zero fees, and you earn LP fees while waiting. Ten days in: $78K executed volume, 212 fills, 18 traders, 1,300+ orders placed, and the v2 permissionless API (third-party apps keep 75% of fees, Scopel takes 25%) is due next week. Team holds no tokens — launched on PumpFun with the dev wallet burned — and 50% of protocol fees buy back the token. Simon screen-shared the v2 demo live.
Markets: Solana rips 5%+ while AI memes ladder off Nvidia
Bitcoin +2% on the day with buyers in control, Ethereum the laggard at +0.8%, and Solana up 5.4% to $107 — the host's 'ten months up' thesis after ten months of red candles. Hyperliquid grinds at all-time highs and LIGHTER looks even better. The AI tape is the story: a Robinhood National Dog Day tweet that soft-shilled the AI token (comments, not dogs) plus monster Nvidia guidance lit the ladder — AI from 40M toward its 52-65M high, with AGI paired against AI as the quote token (LP ~$369K, $200K AGI / $170K AI) after a 355K Discord call.
On-chain roundup: Fletcher bearish, Net Net the casino, Longbow ahead of itself
Fletcher/Collector Crypt bottomed near $9-10K, re-ran above $300K, but the team went quiet Aug 3-23 and came back chasing RWA and AI metas with an NFT mint — pump-and-dump vibes, per Dom. Net Net carries a $5.2M Treasury of USD and RWAs (largest on-chain Nvidia holder at ~$1M) against a ~$5.2M circulating cap after a $50-to-$1,200 run, with tokenized-equity casino games where the Treasury is counterparty. UP, the Abstract-chain AMM interviewed yesterday, front-ran the MCG appearance and keeps grinding at ~$4.4M, while Longbow ran 300K → 5.5M after an MCG mention — the host faded it at 300K and is kicking himself, calling the TVL 'ahead of itself'.
STOCK's V-shape, Hooker TA, and Prologue's fables volume
STOCK is the host's V-shape bag — a ~$20M print now sitting at 17M with 60% buybacks/burns, $52K burned yesterday, $100K+ daily revenue and a ~1.62 price-to-share; his couple-hundred-SOL entry is now multiple hundreds of Solanas. HOOKER's first bid zone is ~4.5M into the low-4s with a flush risk toward 3M — plus optionality as Hooker pairs with v4-hook builders like WTH. Nothing Wolf faded at 300K then ran to 6.7M and is pulling back near 3.1M ('FUD for entry'), Delta gets interesting sub-8.5M, and Prologue (ink team; ticker as-transcribed: fables) shows 673K TVL with $2.11M daily DEX volume and ~$3.5K in fees earned at only ~10 days old.
Closing wrap: Meteora's $140K day, Cards' cash cow, stonkfun pairings
Meteora printed $140K/day in revenue as of Aug 26 — the highest since July 15, nearly $30M annualized — as volume returns to Solana. Cards' weekly print is fading with users down to ~600-700/day, but it remains a cash cow after $9M in July and $11-12M gross profit. On stonkfun, the SV151 bedrock pairing pumped off launch while pairings like SPARKIES/Tesla ($840K volume), GTA SIX ($818K) and TREES ($481K) show the casino economics. Closer: 17K followers (15K two days ago), ~2,045 live viewers.
