Is it just me or does Nano Banana Pro has the worst character adherence out of all the frontier models? It has the crispest images but none of the outputs look exactly as the reference character I share. They always bear resemblence to a celebrity. Higgsfield Soul and Kling O1

If you can pick a project that is scalable and can convince me to use it, I'll fund it by myself. My north star for funding projects has been "will I be a paying customer to this?". Not perfect, but a good benchmark as a crypto poweruser.
I think Nigerian products should boycott @mattytay and this whole @colosseum accelerator/hackathon thing till they can get judges who understand our market or better still, create a track dedicated to the African market. A track with a path to the accelerator not just sidetracks

Accidentally went down the rabbit hole of AI video creation and ended up subscribing to @ImagineArt_X and @LTXStudio. Haven't had this much fun in a long time. Are there any other tools that let me model workflows and maintain reference based character consistency across shots?

The future of crypto is simply private. Nobody can track what others hold or spend, neither the governments, nor the banks. Personal income taxes become burdens on those who choose to be compliant, so governments move towards complete indirect taxation alongside corporate taxes,

Kamino and Jupiter announcing products after products, but neither tokens moving even a millimeter.
🚨JUST IN: @kamino has rebranded and launched six new products, expanding beyond lending into a full-stack institutional and tokenized-asset infrastructure layer on @solana. - Solana Breakpoint 2025

Missing breakpoint and sitting at home sucks. Major fomo for every announcement on the tl.

If this raise works, I swear I'm launching a high TPS Solana fork next month with a 500mn$ FDV. The value prop is simple, I copy all Solana updates to my chain, and because I run all the validators, the newest Solana updates and improvements will be live on my chain before
Quick ICO comparison for anyone looking at the Fogo presale: Monad: → $187M raised → $2.5B FDV Fogo (Dec 17): → $20M presale → $1B FDV That’s ~9.4x less capital raised by Fogo at ~40x of Monad’s valuation. Both are live L1’s today with real TPS that you can also compare.

One main problem with @monad defi right now is that no platform can beat the 14% MON staking APY, and the best way to take advantage of this is to have LST-MON leverage loops on platforms. And to my honest surprise, none of the lending platforms, @Curvance, @TownSquarexyz ,

Anyone know what I can do with the rEUL I got from @eulerfinance on Monad? Can't find any bridge to Ethereum and cannot swap.

I think it's easy to decide the winner in Jupiter - Kamino debate. Whichever token (JUP or KMNO) has the most % price appreciation from now to end of breakpoint will be declared winner. Please God, let something go up. I have both bags (got JUP after the recent vote as I

Ok, enough is enough. Today's the day I've finally decided to stop using 3 products in totality. 1. Metamask, it's well past the time. Moving everything on EVM to backpack and Rabby. This will take several days as I have hundreds of wallets with several seed phrases. 2.

Lots of people misunderstanding the Jupiter-Kamino fights and portraying in incorrect ways. I'll explain the crux of both issues. 1. The false advertising of Jupiter. When you go to a bank, you give your stocks or land documents as collateral and borrow against it. Nobody can

Lmao.. this is most definitely not a good look. Advertising risk as isolated when it is obviously clearly not (evident for me because I never read marketing material, but marketing material is what most users actually see), and with assets like PST in the mix.. definitely does
can we just acknowledge that @jup_lend @kashdhanda has been blatantly LYING this entire time about having isolated vaults?? this is absolutely ridiculous and misleading. "isolated vaults" should mean that if i deposit my asset nobody is going to touch it. if it gets

One issue I've had with crypto forever is we talk about bringing all finance on chain and letting users do DD wrt what they want, but crypto users are shit at understanding or pricing risk almost all of the time. We chase yields, equating all risk everywhere. Aggregators like

I use fluid a lot on Ethereum, but a lot of this is crap tbh. - the vesting details, season end dates, everything is mentioned transparently on the UI. I haven't seen any other protocol ever mentioning the dates for season ends and vesting details long before it ends. -
things I learned about kamino in 3 months: • fake APRs with 9-month vested shitcoin • shitting on your competitors at 1-1 meetings with investors • bullying smaller teams to migrate liquidity from meteora to orca to get listed on kamino • faking liquidation parameters •
