Hi everyone!

I recently wrote a post about how to start earning through testnets and airdrops.

In it, I shared my story, how I got started, the challenges I faced, and how I found my way into this space.

If you're also looking for an extra source of income, I think you might find it useful.

If you're interested in the post, feel free to reach out. I'd be happy to share it.

Doppler is market infrastructure for new asset classes. Traditional public markets serve only a small fraction of the world's assets. While tens of thousands of companies trade on traditional exchanges today, hundreds of millions remain private. Doppler lowers the cost of creating custom financial markets, enabling new asset classes - including enabling tokenized stocks, private companies, and real-world assets to become more accessible over time.

Teams like Bankr, Zora, Paragraph, Long, Noice, and others, have already used Doppler to create and trade assets that didn't have markets before: ai agent coins, attention markets, community tokens, company coins, and more. Over 14 million new digital assets have been created on Doppler, generating more than $2 billion USD in trading volume.

Today, Doppler’s market infrastructure is now available on Solana.

Why Solana

New asset classes are being created onchain faster than infrastructure is innovating to meet them. Millions of tokens are created every month, representing everything from sophisticated instruments, to creator economies, to memes. A significant amount of that activity has been, and is happening on Solana.

We build market infrastructure and our job has always been to focus on helping teams create unique assets where individuals and institutions want to trade them. We've had customers asking for Solana support for months. And after weeks of validation on devnet, multiple audits from well known teams like Ottersec and Pashov, we are excited to now be live with a solution.

What's Missing

The current Solana launch stack was built for a simpler era. One-size-fits-all AMMs work fine for now. They work fine for basic USDC/SOL pairs. Straightforward curves, straightforward pairs.

That’s not where we think tokens are going. We want to help enable new asset types like attention markets or ai agent coins, in addition to bringing existing markets onchain, like tokenized equity or commodities. These assets demand onchain customization: configurable supply curves, auction-based price discovery, vesting mechanics, fee routing.

Blockchain constraints have historically made advanced AMM features impractical for one off consumer applications to build bespoke solutions for. But after months of work we have a solution: a first-party AMM that’s unique and designed especially for Doppler on Solana.

What We Built

Porting advanced AMM infrastructure like Doppler isn’t a copy-paste job from our existing EVM deployments that have done millions of launches. Solana's account model is fundamentally different from the EVM. Storage is expensive - prohibitively so for some designs that rely on it. As an example, concentrated liquidity doesn't translate well when every new storage slot costs real money.

So we did a ground-up redesign. We took what works on Doppler:

• customizable economics
• day-one liquidity
• easy to integrate developer patterns

And we built a native implementation that respects Solana’s constraints without compromising on our core features. Our design philosophy remains straightforward: teams don’t want to roll their own infrastructure when they have businesses and products to build. They want to configure a solution that’s differentiated and customized for their own needs. Doppler lets teams launch with a bespoke solution running on proven infrastructure. That's what we do on EVM, and that's what we now do on Solana.

What Stays the Same

Doppler on Solana works the way Doppler always has: you configure your launch, we handle the smart contract programs, and you focus on your assets and products. Our TypeScript SDK is chain-abstracted, supporting Base, Robinhood Chain, and others, in addition to Solana. Launch, swap, and monitor functionality is documented and ready to build on. If you're already building on Doppler, extending Solana support is straightforward. If you're starting fresh, just pick your chain and go.

What's Next

We're building toward a world where any asset and any market type can be deployed in minutes. If you're building a custom token launcher or onchain spot market that needs real price discovery and sustainable liquidity, we're ready for you.

Build with us

Create and trade tokens on the Doppler App today.

FYI - scammers don’t waste your time sending me DMs or scam links because I won’t fall for it 🤭

I’ve been accumulating SOL a lot during these last few months and have set a long term DCA plan for the next 10 years.

I do not just want to hold my SOL in my cold wallet. I want to stake it to fight against inflation.

I’ve read up on many different strategies but I’m looking for the simplest way to “stake and forget” to keep emotions clear.

> Should I do traditional native staking? If so what validator do you recommend ??

> Should I do LSTs or another staking method ??

> What wallets do you recommend ??

Thanks in advance my SOL frens 🤝

Built on ICP, now with native Solana integration.

Over the past weeks I've integrated Solana into my fully on-chain slot games.

The game logic still runs entirely on the Internet Computer, while players can now use native SOL.

The flow is simple:

Connect your Phantom wallet.

Link it once to your Internet Identity (Principal ID).

Deposit SOL directly from Phantom.

Withdraw SOL back to the same wallet.

Deposits are verified on-chain.

Withdrawals are signed by the ICP canister using chain-key cryptography.

No bridges, no wrapped assets, and no centralized wallet managing user funds.

It's currently in a soft launch, so I'm mainly looking for feedback from the Solana community. If you're curious, feel free to take a look and let me know what you think. (Not asking to play but linking , deposit/withdraw flow feedback would be nice)

Soft launch post with a video:

Any feedback good or bad is appreciated.
