Chestnuts roasting on an open Skulls fire 🎶
chocoo_web3 unveiled the Mad Lads Dressing Room, an app which transforms your NFTs with web3 filters.
Dozens of lads have embraced degeneracy and altered PFPs are sweeping the timeline.
LAD OF THE WEEK: Chocoo 🧁
Mad Lads holders are made up of collectors, investors, creators and importantly - buildoors.
Choco's Mad Lads Dressing Room passion project is the perfect example of a day one diamond hand building for the love of the game.
Memes have been a bedrock of community lore since the very first Mad Lads teaser (Tommy Selby/Peaky Blinders) and tools like this push the envelope.
Congrats to @chocoo_web3, our LOTW!
Mad Lads receive first Sui token allocation 🪂
One of Sui's most notable builders,@bluefinapp, set their sights on the Mad Lads community for the $BLUE TGE.
17.5% of the $BLUE token supply was earmarked for airdrops to protocols on Sui, Solana and Ethereum (with just a handful of NFT projects).
Ownership of the Bluefin protocol will now extend to the entire community and we’re confident that your passion and commitment will see Bluefin become a foundational piece of Web3 moving forward.
Token Symbol: BLUE
Max Supply: 1,000,000,000
Initial Circulating Supply: 160,700,000
The token will be vested over five years.
Stimulate your Backpack bridging 🔁
Crosschain swaps, already lightning fast, are now approaching the speed of light in Backpack Wallet thanks to improvements made by @Wormhole and @MayanFinance.
Long gone are the days of painful swap experiences for users and abstracted developer documentation.
The Wormhole SDK provides developers with essential tools for cross-chain communication, token bridges, and more.
This SDK enables seamless interaction between different blockchain environments with a focus on performance and usability.
'Tis the (app) szn ❄️
Solana has facilitated ecosystem wide holiday events the last several years and 2024 is onchain holiday szn.
Backpack, @dogwifcoin and @bonk_inu are a few familiar contributors with more sure to reveal themselves on the first day of celebrations, December 5th.
Aura off the charts 🌟
@metaplex's Aura Network improves performant indexing of digital asset data so apps can easily monitor state of the blockchain (without resorting to centralized options).
Aura went live on Solana mainnet in September and has garnered the support of Tensor, Eclipse, Sonic and many others.
Aura is a new decentralized indexing network designed for the low-cost and low-latency indexing of:
• The latest DAS API methods for Core, TM, and cNFTs
• Fungible tokens • SPL Tokens (T22)
• Inscriptions

Squads API tackles stablecoin banking 🪙🏦🤝
Known for their treasury management focus, @SquadsProtocol packs a lot more punch than that.
The Squads API was built to reduce complexities and streamline the process of embedding stablecoin banking directly into digital products.
Their goal is to enable business to embed stablecoins to their platforms with just a few lines of code.
Squads API abstracts away blockchain complexities, delivering stablecoin-native banking infrastructure with features like payments, escrow, sub-accounts, spending limits, and recurring transactions.
The Tensor squad brought VECTOR to life 📱📊
@tensor_hq, the JPEG trading platform that we're all familiar with, rose to prominence and gained a lions share of the Solana NFT volume with just a handful of 1000x developers.
Now they are looking to take over another sector: memes
The mobile-only trading app, VECTORDOTFUN, combines the degeneracy of trading memecoins with a social aspect that places a name and PFP to trading history.
Users can follow the trades of their favorite degens in real time.
Invite codes began to fly a few weeks ago and conviction of the early adopters is strong on the timeline.
WAO! 🔵
