since i’ve been printing some insane PnL on @fomo and dominating the 24h / 7d / 30d leaderboards, holding that #1 spot for days straight.
i figured it’s time to give something back.
decided to bless one random user with $1,000, and the @fomo team is matching it with an extra $500.
$1,500 total. straight back to the trenches.
gotta give back to the community that’s been part of the journey.
gratz @imsatoshi100
only on @fomo.

appreciate you taking the time to actually dig in!
you nailed it. we're not trying to be another privacy coin or compete with one. the play is to be the rails zcash runs on, and the main hub for every zcash holder and whale
@mynt_josh from @MCGlive put the scale of it perfectly: eth holders got rich holding eth but had nowhere to spend it, until NFTs showed up and the mania started. zcash holders are in that same spot right now
sapling is becoming its own ecosystem, not just a launchpad and a terminal. the bigger vision is at sapling.cash/roadmap
solana:BZFYNPeQAEW3HWQ4DNsTVahC1n4ZjTgn6jB2nnBbB96W
everyone is trying to figure out which privacy coin is going to pump next.
but i think there’s a much more interesting trade hiding in plain sight.
what happens when an entire ecosystem starts attracting liquidity, traders and speculation, but barely has the infrastructure to support all that activity?
someone has to build it.
and that’s exactly why $SAPLING caught my attention.
a zcash-native launchpad and trading terminal sitting around $1.5M MC, with actual revenue, buybacks, burns and a pretty interesting roadmap.
2026 is the year of $ZEC and privacy, and i think $SAPLING is one of those overlooked bets that could reprice violently.
let me explain.
what is sapling?
basically, a launchpad connecting the Zcash ecosystem with Solana’s trading infrastructure.
zcash brings privacy and the narrative.
solana brings liquidity, traders and execution speed.
sapling connects both worlds.
you can launch tokens, trade and receive payouts using your Zcash wallet. it also supports Phantom and Solflare.
even better, payouts can be sent to shielded Zcash addresses, although trades on Solana remain public.
pretty interesting tek imo.
now the tokenomics, which is where things get interesting.
every coin launched through sapling generates a 2% creator fee:
0.50% buys and burns $SAPLING.
0.50% adds liquidity to the $SAPLING/ZEC pool, with LP tokens burned.
0.80% goes to deployers, designated recipients or holders in ZEC.
0.20% goes to the protocol.
so basically:
more launches → more volume → more fees → more buybacks/burns → deeper liquidity.
the more people use the platform, the more potential buying pressure gets generated for $SAPLING.
and this isn’t just some theoretical flywheel.
according to their analytics:
~$33.7M total trading volume.
357 coins launched.
339K+ trades.
~$98.6K in $SAPLING buybacks.
212M+ tokens burned (21%+ of original supply).
~$86K added to liquidity.
~$112K distributed to holders.
all of this since september 25.
that’s hella impressive for a project barely a month old sitting around $1.5M MC.
and here’s the latest catalyst: the planned migration to Raydium.
this could be pretty significant for liquidity, trading infrastructure and future growth if executed properly.
the team has also shipped a trading terminal, expanded through Pons to Robinhood Chain and introduced tokenized stock pairs.
their longer-term vision includes bringing assets natively to Zcash once ZSAs reach mainnet.
this is much more than another random launchpad.
now think about the bigger picture.
if ZEC continues attracting capital and privacy becomes one of the leading narratives, where does that liquidity eventually flow?
into the infrastructure supporting the ecosystem.
and sapling is positioning itself right there.
ofc everything depends on actual adoption and sustained volume, but the early numbers are pretty encouraging.
at $1.5M MC, the r/r looks insanely attractive to me.
$5M–$10M MC wouldn’t surprise me if the Raydium migration delivers and trading activity accelerates.
and that’s without a full privacy ecosystem rotation.
the play isn’t always buying the narrative itself. sometimes it’s buying the infrastructure that benefits from it.
working tek, real usage, deflationary tokenomics and a strong narrative.
still early and risky, but i genuinely think this is hella underpriced.
higher $SAPLING. 🌱

here’s my updated thesis.
bitcoin has always had the strongest culture in crypto. what it never really had was a proper environment for trading memecoins.
solana figured that part out years ago.
fast execution, instant liquidity, bonding curves and an entire speculative economy built around launching tokens.
bitcoin had the assets, the history and the liquidity, but runes never really got the trading infrastructure they needed.
that’s where $ETCHY comes in.
instead of competing with bitcoin or creating another random wrapped asset, etchy uses both chains for what they do best.
bitcoin for the actual asset.
solana for execution and liquidity.
you launch a real bitcoin rune, trading starts almost instantly on solana through a BTC-denominated bonding curve, and the asset can move between chains.
bridge mode provides 1:1 backing by real runes on bitcoin.
zero mode goes further, keeping the actual runes inside bitcoin vaults without requiring wrapped tokens.
lightning deposits and withdrawals are already supported too.
this isn’t just a concept or some fancy roadmap. the product is live, and i’ve personally tested the tek.
but here’s what i find even more interesting.
a launchpad needs more than good technology. it needs runners, culture and attention.
and we’re finally starting to see an actual ecosystem taking shape.
first, $XBT.
probably one of my favorite narratives coming out of etchy.
XBT is an OG alternative ticker for bitcoin, historically used by exchanges like Kraken and BitMEX.
it’s literally a piece of bitcoin’s trading history.
taking that old-school ticker and turning it into a bitcoin-native rune gives it a genuinely recognizable narrative.
no complicated lore needed. just pure BTC culture.
then there’s $RDOG, the RUNE DOG.
the mascot runner of the ecosystem, bringing the meme side of the equation.
every successful trenches ecosystem eventually develops recognizable characters and tokens around it.
RDOG has that simple dog-meme appeal, except this time the asset is actually connected to the bitcoin runes narrative.
and here’s why both matter for $ETCHY.
a successful runner attracts traders.
traders generate volume.
volume attracts new launches and liquidity.
more launches create more opportunities for another runner.
and activity generates revenue for the platform.
that’s the actual flywheel i’m betting on.
50% of Etchy’s platform fee revenue goes toward buying back and burning $ETCHY, while holders can also receive BTC/WBTC rewards from $ETCHY trading activity.
the team has even introduced a 0.25 BTC bounty to incentivize creators to launch a successful runner.
this is how you bootstrap an ecosystem instead of simply waiting for people to discover your product.
and remember, BTC hasn’t even had a proper recovery yet.
imagine the attention bitcoin-native memecoins could attract if BTC starts ripping again and traders begin looking for higher-beta plays.
$XBT brings the history.
$RDOG brings the meme culture.
$ETCHY provides the infrastructure that allows both to exist and trade.
obviously, none of this guarantees a breakout. the ecosystem still needs sustained liquidity and a runner that genuinely catches attention.
but that’s exactly why i’m interested this early.
i’m not betting on another generic launchpad.
i’m betting that bitcoin deserves its own trenches, and etchy might finally have the infrastructure to make that happen.
genny tek, genuine BTC lore and an ecosystem that’s only getting started.
still one of my highest conviction microcap plays.
higher $ETCHY. higher $XBT. higher $RDOG.

solana:HuAXPyDWDaMYFKuwQHpqL1oPnj93zdzWmtvFGzCeCUa7 is my most bullish bag by FAR
multi 9 fig hold
best preforming coin in this shitty market and best time to accumulate it
they shipped privacy swapping across all chains , private transfers across all chains , Private stocks
#1 privacy protocol across all chains
Earning the most fees
They are buying back 6 figures every few days
$ZEC & $REAR leading the ALT coin market.
solana:HuAXPyDWDaMYFKuwQHpqL1oPnj93zdzWmtvFGzCeCUa7 is the best coin you can buy today
dude my sleep schedule is so fucked. trading is defo worse than a 9-5.
it literally drains your fucking life and your mental health. holy fuck.
solana:GM8EysYT8NRSsoULdeYShbRsUdhoUoiB9EN4eW3YETCH looks really interesting here!
Healthy correction here after a nice little pump, following the $RDOG run and its consolidation as the main runner of the launchpad.
Still bullish as hell. If anything, this gives a much better entry to those who felt sidelined when we were pushing towards $1M MC.
We’re still outperforming BTC, holding up pretty well despite market conditions, and I genuinely think we’re setting up for another leg higher (probably this week).
What makes me even more bullish is that this isn’t just another recycled launchpad narrative.
Genny tek + insane dev team + actual innovation + BTC szn.
Bitcoin-native Runes trading at Solana speed. That’s a pretty fucking interesting concept, especially considering how much OG Runes struggled with liquidity and execution.
And here’s the thing: we haven’t even seen what happens when ETCHY gets its first proper multimillion-dollar runner.
That’s when things could get really interesting. More volume, more attention, more launches, more liquidity. A potential snowball effect for the entire ecosystem.
Place your entry in either $ETCHY or $RDOG and let the thesis play out.
My conviction has only gotten stronger. Haven’t seen another launchpad executing this exact idea before.
Still early in my eyes.
HIGHER $ETCHY.

Awesome read here. Tbh, I genuinely urge you to look into solana:GM8EysYT8NRSsoULdeYShbRsUdhoUoiB9EN4eW3YETCH and what they're building.
Insane amount of work behind it and a cracked dev team. This is a gamble, but also a high conviction play for me. Really interesting R/R at this MC (~$700K).
Should run hard once BTC starts ripping this week.
