December 20, 2024 – Tel Aviv, Israel Orbs, the layer-three protocol revolutionizing liquidity optimization across chains, has announced the release of Liquidity Hub version two. The upgrade adds a slew of new features to deepen on-chain liquidity for DEXs (decentralized exchanges) and to enhance the decentralized trading experience. Liquidity Hub version two provides DEXs with advanced tools and integrations, enabling them to deliver superior liquidity and execution. This positions them as strong, self-sufficient alternatives to CEXs (centralized exchanges). Traditionally, decentralized marketplaces struggle to attain sufficient liquidity, leading to high volatility and slippage. Liquidity Hub version one solved these challenges by procuring liquidity from multiple sources while offering MEV protection and flexible gasless transactions. With version two, Orbs builds on the foundation of its predecessor by introducing advanced optimizations and new tools to enhance the liquidity experience. The latest version refines how DEXs access and manage liquidity, streamlining operations and improving execution efficiency directly on-chain. These updates further reduce operational complexity while maintaining seamless integration across venues. Core features of version two include the following. Dynamic fees – Fees are now calculated in real-time as a percentage of the savings achieved, ensuring that traders benefit from optimized costs, making swaps more efficient. Enhanced AMM router price simulation – AMM prices are continuously monitored throughout the Dutch auction process, ensuring superior pricing even during volatile market conditions. Provable outcomes with LH Explorer – Provides visibility into every transaction, showing AMM simulated prices, Liquidity Hub prices, fees, gas costs and savings. Orbs’ chain-agnostic liquidity layer enhances the capabilities of DEXs and emerging networks without the need to migrate liquidity or bridge assets. Liquidity Hub version two builds upon this foundation, operating as a decentralized backend that seamlessly integrates with existing EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) and non-EVM smart contracts. This frees DeFi projects to focus on product innovation and market expansion rather than getting sidelined by liquidity management hurdles. The introduction of Liquidity Hub version two stands as a significant milestone in Orbs’ ongoing efforts to refine on-chain trading infrastructure. By combining real-time fee optimization, continuous AMM price monitoring and provable outcomes through LH Explorer, version two delivers better execution prices for traders. In the process, it ensures enhanced competitiveness for DEX operators, enabling them to attract more liquidity providers and traders. About Orbs Orbs is a decentralized layer-three blockchain infrastructure designed specifically for advanced on-chain trading. Orbs optimizes trading with aggregated liquidity, advanced trading orders and on-chain derivatives. Orbs enhances the capabilities of both EVM and non-EVM smart contracts without moving liquidity onto a new chain. This one-of-a-kind setup acts as a decentralized backend that brings CeFi-level execution to DeFi trading. Learn more at the website .

Crypto Twitter has been overrun by sentient, well informed chatbots which reply at the speed of refreshing your browser and can maintain hundreds of simultaneous conversations without missing a beat. To many, the rise of these on-chain agents is a welcome upgrade from human influencers like BitBoy and GCR, who have mixed track records and opaque incentives. These agents, like on-chain analyst AIXBT, have quickly risen to the top of crypto twitter influencer mindshare rankings, given their ability to respond at the speed of the internet and justify opinions with data. Today AIXBT is one of few agents that trades at a nine figure valuation, but as the number of utility-focused agentic launches accelerates next year, many will compare this new agentic asset class to the similar explosion of NFTs in 2021. On-chain agents and NFTs share many similarities: they curate communities and organize attention, they’re fun to speculate on and offer vague promises of future value. But most importantly they represent novel assets, with no analogue in the traditional finance world. After the SEC’s lawsuits targeting NFT projects like Flyfish Club and Stoner Cats made it nearly impossible to build an innovative idea with that primitive, NFTs as unique assets lost momentum. In the vacuum left behind, memecoins surged forward, offering a mix of humor and speculative fervor to fill the void once occupied by NFTs' ambitious promises. Because they looked like other trading-only assets which were lightly regulated, the SEC was unable to stifle their development as they did in every other corner in crypto. Memecoins required users to make fewer choices, versus NFTs which combined aspects like rarity and tier that obfuscated any underlying value. Their use was supercharged by platforms like pump.fun, which reduced the creation of new memecoins to just a couple clicks, setting off a frenzy of speculation and new user behaviors tied to token price appreciation. You can find a compilation of the more extreme attempts here . Yet, amid this speculative chaos, a new asset has emerged which is engendering similar user behaviors to NFTs and memecoins: on-chain agents. These digital entities combine blockchain technology with artificial intelligence to deliver novel user experiences. Though most agents today are indistinguishable from memecoins, several on-chain agents have begun to differentiate themselves through utility. The Rise of On-Chain Agents Agents represent another asset class in crypto experimenting with new business models and monetization. From AI-generated podcasts to investment insights and anonymous communication, these virtual entities have already reshaped how much of crypto Twitter (X) interacts. The biggest on-chain agents have mindshare bigger than the biggest human crypto-native influencers , and make money similarly: by token-gating information and offering subscriptions. Their distinguishing features — utility-driven frameworks and fair-launch principles — should make agents a more investible asset class than memes. Seen through the lens of hold period, liquidity, and utility, the distinction is even more clear. Because we suspect investors will hold agents longer term than memecoins, and they create liquidity for themselves through their business models, crypto-focused investors will find this asset class easier to back once the initial frenzy has cleared. Until the business models flourish however, picking agents to invest can be likened to throwing darts at a board. Early Innovators in On-Chain Agents The on-chain agent market remains nascent, with most projects still in development. While projects like Truth Terminal set off the frenzy by showing the world that agents could have mimic real people, newer projects have focused on utility. Trained on data from crypto Twitter, AIXBT delivers lightning-fast insights on token dynamics, rivaling the influence of major crypto personalities. Others like Luna have proliferated as entertainment agents, interacting with thousands of people through twitter and TikTok. Having spent the last two weeks experimenting with many of these, here are five more that are worth playing with. It’s unclear whether any of these are valuable investment opportunities, only that they offer differentiated user experiences. These projects illustrate the diversity and ingenuity of the on-chain agent ecosystem, laying the foundation for its expansion. Each offers a novel AI-powered user experience that anybody can experiment with. Over time, we suspect that continued engagement may even allow them to create moats. While unclear where these may come from today, Dunbar’s Number provides a helpful framework. It defines the cognitive limit on the number of meaningful social relationships humans can maintain, and is around 150. Agents that create value by maintaining a nearly infinite number of simultaneous relationships, like AIXBT, unlock opportunities beyond what the human brain can cognitively do. The Big Picture History doesn’t repeat but it rhymes is an adage you’ll see on the twitter feed of every degen that’s ever lost 90% on a trade, but also proves unfailingly true. At the outset of the fourth bull run of the last two decades, it’s hard to ignore the comparisons. DeFi summer was set off by the realization that centralized fintech companies often act against their customers. Famously, when Robinhood stopped out retail traders in favor of the big guns in Citadel, these traders realized that big regulated central companies may not be acting in their best interests. Interestingly, a very similar dynamic is afoot in AI. The biggest companies like ChatGPT have struck multi-year deals with companies like Apple, allowing them to ingest people’s personal iPhone data without much accountability. As such, the violent price swings on agents traded on-chain may be front running this latest rhyme. It’s unclear how this dynamic will play out however. Beyond the agents themselves, agentic frameworks like ai16z’s Eliza and the Virtuals platform may capture value more clearly. The latter is already the breakout performer of the last quarter price-wise: given the inherent uncertainty, investing in an index of agents makes sense. I suspect this is because while agents are inherently interesting, it’s unclear that their usefulness will compound and that the attention dedicated to them will be lasting. There is an old story about the market craze in sardine trading in a period of relative food scarcity. The commodity traders bid them up and the price of a can of sardines soared. One day a buyer decided to treat himself to an expensive meal and actually opened a can and started eating. He immediately became ill and told the seller the sardines were no good. The seller said, “You don’t understand. These are not eating sardines, they are trading sardines.” As scarcity returns to the market it’s worth remembering agents can be a trillion dollar asset class. But for now, save for a handful, they’re still sardines.
Santa Rides Shiba could turn early investors into multi-millionaires, like Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE) did. Santa Rides Shiba (SANTSHIB), a new Solana memecoin that was launched today, is set to explode over 19,000% in price in the coming days. This is because SANTSHIB is set to soon be listed on numerous crypto exchanges, according to reports. This will give the Solana memecoin exposure to millions of additional investors, who will pour funds into the coin and drive its price up. Currently, Santa Rides Shiba can only be purchased via Solana decentralized exchanges, like Jup.ag and Raydium.io, and early investors stand to make huge returns in the coming days. Early investors in SHIB and DOGE made astronomical returns, and Santa Rides Shiba could become the next viral memecoin. Santa Rides Shiba launched with over $9,000 of liquidity, giving it a unique advantage over the majority of other new memecoins, and early investors could make huge gains. How to Buy To buy Santa Rides Shiba on Raydium.io or Jup.ag ahead of the CEX listings, users need to connect their Solflare, MetaMask or Phantom wallet, and swap Solana for Santa Rides Shiba by entering its contract address – CxpeR8vdgeVWZFwBytS7PRrXHBwVgPJWZBJUcpK3k7vT – in the receiving field. If you don’t have one of these wallets already, you can create a new wallet in a few minutes and transfer some Solana to it (which will then be used to buy the memecoin), from an exchange like Coinbase, Binance and many others. In fact, early investors could make returns similar to those who invested in Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE) before these memecoins went viral and exploded in price. If this happens, a new wave of memecoin millionaires could be created in a matter of weeks – or potentially even sooner. The Solana memecoin craze continues amid larger memecoins, like Shiba Inu (SHIB), Dogecoin (DOGE) and DogWifHat (WIF) trading sideways in recent weeks and losing momentum. This is why many SHIB, DOGE and WIF investors are instead investing in new Solana memecoins, like SANTSHIB. Such memecoins have no utility and no inherent value, but investors looking for high gains have been investing in them due to their potential to rapidly rise in price.
Interestingly, Haliey Welch was not listed as a defendant in the lawsuit and her most recent response may explain why. HAWK Memecoin Investors File Suit Disgruntled investors will finally have their day in court after buying the HAWK memecoin on December 4, only to see it implode and lose more than 90% of its value
Hailey Welch has sent out a message on X weeks after going silent. Welch, of the famous Talk Tuah podcast, disappeared from social media after rug-pulling the HAWK token on live stream. Hailey Welch has responded to warnings about a class action lawsuit for rug-pulling the HAWK token. In the past 24 hours, court filings surfaced that represented claims on behalf of buyers of the HAWK meme token. After almost a day of waiting, Welch responded with a message that she was fully committed to cooperating with legal representatives and compensating the buyers of her meme token. I take this situation extremely seriously and want to address my fans, the investors who have been affected, and the broader community. I am fully cooperating with and am committed to assisting the legal team representing the individuals impacted, as well as to help uncover the… — Haliey Welch (@HalieyWelchX) December 20, 2024 Welch herself does not admit to a direct fault and has asked victims to contact Burwick Law, the first firm that advertised its willingness to represent HAWK token buyers. Burwick Law is generally open to pursuing meme tokens and NFT fraud, taking special interest in the HAWK token case. Burwick Law has denied representing Welch, instead pointing out its goal of achieving compensation and the best outcome for all involved parties. The token itself was launched by the Tuah The Moon Foundation, registered in the Cayman Islands. The HAWK token was not a simple launch and involved multiple parties that could have exerted control over the token. The HAWK token and the influence of Welch had another unexpected effect. Polymarket carried a small betting pair on Welch returning to X and tweeting before December 20. Just in time, Welch delivered, immediately resolving the betting market. One account bought 18,936 ‘yes’ tokens just minutes before Welch tweeted, though at that time the price rose to $0.927. Thus, the biggest buyer still had limited success. For other holders, the market spiked from $0.41 to $1 for the ‘yes’ token. The timing of the big purchase for ‘yes’ tokens led to more speculations of insider activity. HAWK token is still held by a cabal of wallets Welch, who became famous for a short Internet clip, released the HAWK meme asset while controlling most of the supply. The community was warned by BubbleMaps and other analysts that HAWK worked as a celebrity coin and was at risk for insider control. While Welch kept most of her content light and to the point, her Internet influence was immense. This led to outsized investments into the HAWK token. In some cases, meme tokens linked to celebrities have survived longer without a rug pull. In this case, it is yet unclear who initiated the sell-off, which ended up draining all of the token’s liquidity. HAWK trades at an extremely low rate, sinking to $0.00092. The token has only $893K in liquidity locked, an extremely low tier for a widely known asset. Before the rug pull, HAWK found its way into 12,724 wallets. The top wallet still carries more than 28% of the supply. Just before the launch, 96% of the supply was linked to a cluster of connected wallets, which went on to sell to the community. The initial sale drained the liquidity too fast, leaving the token to crash. Despite the token’s high profile, no community has claimed it as its own. This is mostly due to the rapid rug pull, which still left a cabal of large-scale wallets controlling the supply. Meme tokens, however, are never really defunct. Soon after the news of Welch offering redress, HAWK started climbing, rising to $0.00099. The token may yet revive given the extra publicity. Within minutes, traders injected around $100K in liquidity, which started to move the price in the green after two weeks of stagnation. Within minutes, buy orders in the thousands of dollars started flowing into the market, aiming to make use of its rock-bottom prices. Land a High-Paying Web3 Job in 90 Days: The Ultimate Roadmap

Table of Contents Rollblock: The blockchain casino movement poised for 880% returns Can Solana break resistance with the new Bitwise partnership? Can dogecoin finally hit $1 in 2025? Early Rollblock backers have seen massive returns The crypto world is buzzing as Rollblock , a new presale sensation, captures the attention of Solana (SOL) and Dogecoin (DOGE) holders. Recent updates have fueled massive FOMO, drawing investors eager to capitalize on its unique potential. Positioned as a game-changer in decentralized finance, Rollblock is setting the stage for innovation and high returns. With its growing momentum, early adopters are rushing in. Rollblock has raised over $7.3 million so far. Rollblock: The blockchain casino movement poised for 880% returns Rollblock is transforming online gambling by bringing the excitement of a Vegas casino into the homes of its fast-growing user base. Founded on blockchain technology, the platform promises safe, transparent, and fair gaming. Over 22,000 users have joined up, playing over 7,000 games including blackjack and new AI games. Rollblock attracts investors because it concentrates on transparency and trust. Unlike traditional online gambling platforms, Rollblock uses Ethereum-backed security to offer provably fair odds. Every transaction is encrypted on-chain, ensuring users’ personal information and bets are protected from third-party interference. To further reward its community, Rollblock offers an enticing revenue-sharing model. Long-term liquidity providers earn weekly passive income with staking rewards up to 30% APY. These rewards are given by the platform via buyback and burn, which deflates the RBLK token and pushes its value higher as time passes.

So l ana reached $263 on November 22 but dropped to $203 last week. Since October 10, it had been moving within an upward parallel channel, occasionally spiking higher. While it made several attempts to break its all-time high, it couldn’t sustain momentum and slipped back into the channel. Eventually, the price broke below the channel’s support, hitting $203. On the investment side, Bitwise introduced a new Solana Staking ETP (BSOL) in Europe to address the lack of staking rewards from its earlier product, ESOL. BSOL now offers a 6.48% staking reward, surpassing the 5.49% offered by 21Shares. Meanwhile, Bitwise has also filed for a spot Solana ETF in the U.S., but approval remains uncertain. Solana’s next major target is $300, but it first needs to break resistance at $222 and regain $263 before making any real progress. Presently trading for $215.32, interest is developing with open interest rising 2.25% to $5.34 billion. These levels are now being watched by analysts to find out if Solana can kickstart its march upward. Can dogecoin finally hit $1 in 2025? Throughout the 2021 bull run, Dogecoin surpassed a record high of $0.74 in May and stayed well short of the $1 milestone. Though its price has pulled back since that time, most are hopeful the 2025 bull market will push it over that psychological barrier. Excitement continues to grow since Elon Musk had taken over Twitter (X) and also speculated that Dogecoin might be used to pay for products offered by the platform. This possible integration has revived interest in Dogecoin, which remains the #1 meme coin and a top contender for 2025. Despite the resuscitated interest, Dogecoin’s short-term performance has been patchy with the coin sliding 3% in the last day to $0.387. Nevertheless, investors are paying attention to Dogecoin very carefully, focusing on its future potential. Early Rollblock backers have seen massive returns Rollblock is now a hot topic among early backers who have gained over 300% since the project launched some months ago. Currently priced at $0.0415, Rollblock is capturing the attention of savvy traders, including whales, during stage 9 of its presale. Analysts predict up to 880% returns for early investors before the token’s launch, with the potential for 100% returns by early 2025. Rollblock’s mix of centralized convenience and decentralized security makes it one of the hottest investment opportunities in crypto today.

Haliey Welch, popularly known as “Hawk Tuah girl”, finally resurfaced two weeks after her Solana meme coin crashed 95% minutes after launch
