Genesis is not a launchpad, it’s a launch protocol. Which is why we’re thrilled to announce the Genesis SDK, bringing the reliability, trust and transparency of Genesis to launchpads and trading platforms. (1/6)

Woof

Genesis SDK has been out for one week. Launch protocol > Launchpad

We obsess over compute efficiency in Core. Traditional NFT minting: 205k CU Core NFT minting: 17k CU That's 92% less compute. This means: • Better for the network • More transactions per block We're building infrastructure efficiently.

7/ Ecosystem Highlights: • @MagicEden surpassed 115K Collector Crypt packs opened, generating $13M+ in volume • @dripshop_live launched on Solana in beta, bringing live commerce onchain • @_portals_ introduced browser-native trading with creator revenue and buybacks

6/ Partnership Highlights: • Genesis Partner Network expanded with @saros_xyz and @Titan_Exchange • Saros introduced liquidity support via its Liquidity Grant Program • Titan will provide day-one liquidity for all Genesis-powered tokens

5/ $1.0M of October protocol revenue was used to buy back 7.6M $MPLX for the DAO. Cumulative protocol fees surpassed $46M (~309K SOL), with 50% of monthly fees continuing to be allocated to buybacks.

4/ Genesis activity continued to build momentum: • @BeamableNetwork launched its $BMB sale and TGE on Genesis, attracting 2,155 backers and selling $1.3M (8,050 SOL) • @Tashi announced its upcoming $TASHI TGE, now scheduled for early Q1 2026 https://t.co/cOQ546YjGH

3/ Protocol activity in November: • 557K Token Metadata assets created, including 519K fungible tokens (93%) • Core adoption continued to climb with 346K mints (+45% MoM) • Over 360K unique wallets signed transactions with Metaplex

@ledger_top 2/ Protocol revenue reached $1.1M, including: • $858K Token Metadata (81%) • $110K Genesis (10%) • $76K Core (7%)

Metaplex November Round-up TLDR: • Protocol revenue reached $1.1M • Genesis powered the @BeamableNetwork sale, contributing 10% of monthly revenue • $1.0M of October's protocol revenue used to buy back 7.6M $MPLX for the DAO (0.8% of total supply / 1.3% of outstanding supply)

Releasing the Genesis SDK will obviously makes launchpads better as they integrate the protocol. But if you think this is “just a better ICO toolkit,” you’re missing where it actually gets interesting. Genesis is a tokenization primitive, not just a launch product.

November marked a major milestone: 10% of the total supply of $MPLX has been bought back for the Metaplex DAO. 50% of all protocol revenue goes to buybacks to strengthen the DAO and shape the future of internet capital markets.

Metaplex's announcement... May be the BIGGEST announcement from Breakpoint...

If we made these, would you want one?

Simpler and easier to use than ever. Build on Solana with our refreshed developer hub.

3/ And the biggest through-line for us: token issuance is consolidating FAST and teams are standardizing on Genesis. Whether it was launchers, aggregators, or apps embedding claim flows, everyone wanted the same thing: a clean, trusted, composable way to launch tokens without

2/ Solana’s center of gravity has shifted from culture to coordination. DAO houses were packed. And instead of chasing to film the most degen moment, people were aligning around incentives, contributors, and actual onchain execution. It felt less like a conference and more like

1/ The ecosystem grew up, and it grew up fast. Institutions are entering, and tourists are fading out. The rooms weren’t filled with spectators or tourists, but instead were filled with founders, capital allocators, and teams flying in from every corner of the world to talk

Long-time Breakpoint attendees will tell you this year felt different. Sharper. More intentional. Despite the headlines, people who are here for the tech are busier than ever. Here are the top 3 things we learned this year, and what they mean for Solana and Metaplex in 2026.
