Author: Tia, Techub News The Solana Annual Developer Conference Breakpoint is usually seen as a window for new projects to "issue" tokens. This year, the project that received the pass is the liquidity staking protocol Toby. The team announced the issuance of a governance token, TOBY, with a core selling point: directly incorporating the additional profits that validators earn from MEV into the tobySOL holdings, so that stakers no longer only receive on-chain inflation rewards, but also share in the arbitrage, liquidation, and tip income generated by block ordering. This narrative has gained attention because Solana's MEV value chain has been essentially monopolized by Jito over the past two years. Jito-Solana client share exceeds 94%, and in 2024

Author: Crypto Weituo; Source: X, @thecryptoskanda After BMNR and MSTR consecutively fell below mNAV 1, basically everyone talking about DAT would say, “The DAT scam is over.” From the perspective of the crypto-native community, DAT is invalid: it’s like letting others buy coins for you with your own money, especially since several coins have ETFs. Currently, buying DAT can be seen as paying for the personal brands of Tom Lee and Michael Saylor — donating money to these two influencers who target traditional finance. But does it really serve no purpose at all? Maybe not. 1. Earning income through holding coins to support DAT’s performance Many DAT projects are considering or already doing this. Mainly by using the held tokens for staking, such as Solana’s DAT; there are also discussions about using lending protocols to generate revenue.

Justin Bons stirred debate again with a long post arguing that Solana represents a technological step beyond Bitcoin. His claim is bold but familiar. Strip away the emotion, and the argument rests on measurable differences rather than price action or narratives. Bons frames Solana as “Bitcoin 3.0,”

In the competitive landscape of blockchain networks, determining the "most used" chain involves analyzing key metrics like Total Value Locked (TVL), transaction volumes, user counts, fee revenues, and value transfers—areas where Solana has shown remarkable growth compared to Ethereum and its Layer-2 solutions.

In a notable pivot ahead of its January 13, 2026 mainnet launch, Fogo—an experimental Layer-1 blockchain built on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM)—has canceled its previously announced $20 million token presale.

The article summarizes several key takeaways from Solana Breakpoint 2025, including the decentralization improvements brought by the launch of Firedancer mainnet, the technical enhancements of the SIMD-0370 protocol, the introduction of the Light Token standard to reduce costs, the momentum of stablecoin development, and the diversity of hackathon award-winning projects. These all indicate that Solana is making comprehensive optimizations in technology, costs, and user experience, actively embracing future opportunities.

Bitcoin leads due to liquidity, institutional adoption, and declining volatility. Ethereum attracts institutions building scalable, structured blockchain infrastructure. Solana targets consumers with speed, simplicity, and direct real-world usage. Cathie Wood has never shied away from bold

Lily Liu: Solana is not just a technological network but a shaping global capital and application infrastructure In her opening speech at Breakpoint 2025, Lily Liu, Chair of the Solana Foundation, emphasized that Solana is not a single product or company but a complete system playing different roles for different participants: for validators and core developers, it is a high-speed, low-cost network; for application builders, it is a technological platform supporting product operation; and for asset issuers and investors, Solana is evolving into a native on-chain capital market. Lily pointed out that whether the Solana ecosystem can sustain long-term prosperity depends on whether the three major levels can develop simultaneously and healthily: whether the network itself continues to become faster and cheaper, whether the application layer has a genuine business model, and whether the capital markets

The high-performance Layer 1 project Fogo based on the Solana Virtual Machine recently made a major strategic adjustment, officially canceling the previously scheduled $20 million token pre-sale on December 17. Instead, the project announced that all of the tokens amounting to 2% of the total supply will be used for airdrops, aiming to reward early testnet users and community contributors more fairly. This decision comes on the eve of mainnet launch, reflecting the team's core approach of "delivering more, financing less," and a doubled emphasis on community strength in the current market environment. This article will delve into the logic behind this decision, the updated token economic model, and Fogo’s technological ambitions as a rising star in the SVM track.

Fogo is an SVM (Solana Virtual Machine) compatible Layer 1 blockchain, achieving 40-millisecond block times and 1.3-second finality. Through validator co-location, a customized Firedancer client, and Fogo Sessions one-click signature-free innovation, it creates an ultra-low latency DeFi ecosystem. Its $20 million presale has been replaced with an airdrop.
