Alright, mea culpa on solana:METvsvVRapdj9cFLzq4Tr43xK4tAjQfwX76z3n6mWQL About a year ago, I was very vocal and critical of the token launch. Some of you probably remember. I call things out when I disagree, but I also give credit where its due. And what @MeteoraAG has built since then is exceptional. The staking, revenue sharing and referral system is the best I've seen on chain. Even if you never touch a liquidity pool, staking solana:METvsvVRapdj9cFLzq4Tr43xK4tAjQfwX76z3n6mWQL gives you a share of 10% of the protocol's revenue. Looking at the past 30 days, I'm seeing roughly 35% annualized yield. Obviously that fluctuates, but 35% APY backed by actual protocol activity is just insane. To me, @MeteoraAG is one of the strongest protocols on Solana. Whatever the next meta is, tokens need liquidity and traders generate volume. And guess what? @MeteoraAG is the best place to turn that volume into fees. Period. But the part I'm most excited about is what happens when you actually use the product and share what you're doing. I'm already spending time on @MeteoraAG, trying strategies, making mistakes and figuring out what works. Sharing that here helps other people get started, and the referral system rewards me for it. And not just a little. I've claimed over $5,000 in referrals reward in two months, that's fucking huge! People discover the product through someone who actually uses it. They get a rebate, I earn referral rewards, and more activity means more revenue for the protocol and its stakers. It's basically the perfect flywheel. Hats off to the @MeteoraAG team, and please never stop cooking! 🫡

HUNTING STONKS PAIRS on @MeteoraAG Stonks have been one of my favorite LP hunting grounds lately ❌But I don’t start by looking for reasons to enter ✅I start by trying to kill the trade If it survives my entire process, then it earns my SOL Here’s exactly how I’ve been screening + LPing them lately👇

Your rewards for Referral Staking Cycle 2 are now claimable! Over $700K in USDC is being distributed to stakers and referrers for Cycle 2, more than double the rewards from Cycle 1. Stake. Onboard. Earn.

I think it’s finally time to write my long-standing thesis on $MET. This article will serve as a pillar of my beliefs for years to come. And I genuinely believe that anyone who has used @MeteoraAG for 300+ hours will come away with many of the EXACT same opinions as me, or at least very similar ones. BY THE WAY — I’ve been writing this article for a week now. I swear I’m not bandwagoning all the other posts hahaha. Anyways. Let’s start with my journey. - How I Found Meteora Let’s rewind to around June 2024. Memes had started slowing down after I had run a portfolio up to nearly $70,000 between January and May 2024 — which was a lot of money for me at the time. Within roughly a month, I managed to give back almost half of it. Even though I was still green overall, I felt defeated. I felt like I had lost my edge. Around this time, a friend introduced me to Meteora. Through him, I found @razzaer documenting his 1-100 SOL challenge. I had opened maybe 5-10 liquidity pools before then, but I didn’t truly understand what I was doing. Razzaer showed me something completely different. He showed me that growing a smaller portfolio with exceptional risk management was still possible, even in a market that felt incredibly weak. That was when everything changed. I realized how CRAZY it was that I could take advantage of volume and sideways price movement on memecoins instead of constantly needing to predict the next massive move. I realized how insanely powerful this technology was. I could manage risk. I didn’t need to perfectly time the bottom of a token. I just needed enough understanding to determine a reasonable range where I believed price would trade. I could collect fees from the activity happening inside that range. I could even have a token dump heavily into my position, rebound without ever returning to my original entry price, and still exit profitably. I talk about this concept on stream all the time. When I first understood it, it genuinely felt like I had discovered magic. Instead of constantly being on the other side of the market paying fees and chasing price, I could provide liquidity and earn fees from the order flow coming through my position. Buys. Sells. Sideways price action. Volatility. For the first time, I felt like I had another weapon available to me regardless of what the market was doing. And my small account started growing quickly. There are FAR too many parts of this journey to include in one article. But before moving forward, I need to emphasize something: Learning LPing Is a Skill That Compounds There are rare moments in this market where the risk/reward of liquidity provision becomes absolutely astronomical. TRUMP. STONKFUN. Abnormal launchpad pools. Massive launches. Extreme volume events. There have been moments where my friends and I were able to generate returns approaching 100% on deployed capital within minutes. Some of those are among my favorite memories I have in crypto. During those periods, it genuinely feels like you have a money printer sitting on your desk. Obviously, those opportunities are NOT normal. But that is exactly why learning this skill before those opportunities arrive matters so much. Even if you are struggling with LPing today, understanding the tech could pay you back tenfold when the next abnormal opportunity presents itself. The people learning during the boring periods are the people who are ready when it gets stupid. And that brings me to the bigger point. Because my story is only a tiny example of what Meteora actually is. Meteora Is Bigger Than Memecoin LPing Everything I just described came from one retail trader with a small account. But Meteora is not simply a tool for small traders trying to farm fees on memecoins. At its core, Meteora is market-making infrastructure. It allows capital to be deployed into markets, define where that capital should operate, determine the fees it wants to earn, and dynamically participate in the liquidity layer of onchain assets. The same product that works for someone messing around with 5 SOL can work for 500 SOL. Or 5,000. Or significantly more. That scalability is one of the biggest reasons I am so bullish on what Meteora can become. Retail needs something they can actually use. Whales need capital efficiency. Desks need control. Funds need infrastructure that can handle real size. Projects need a book people can trade against. All of them need the same thing: a place where capital can become liquidity without begging someone for permission. That is what people miss when they write Meteora off as “the memecoin LP app.” Memes were just the first stress test. Thousands of tokens. Insane vol. Constant launches. Different fees. Retail deploying around the clock. If Meteora can handle THAT environment, imagine what happens when cleaner assets and bigger money start showing up. Meteora gives the small guy tools that used to belong to specialists. But it does not ONLY suit the small guy. That’s the distinction. The same things that make it good for retail — customizability, access, capital efficiency, permissionless deployment, control over where your liquidity sits — get MORE valuable as the book gets bigger. Retail LP. Whale. Project running its own market. Professional MM. Fund deploying onchain. The product does not care who you are. It gives you the tools. And I think an enormous amount of money is going to need those tools. The Team Behind It You guys see me with my Meteora badge today. What you might not know is that becoming affiliated with Meteora was genuinely one of my dreams within the first few months of learning the platform. They had given me something that completely changed the trajectory of my trading. At a time when my confidence was low and was lost for a period of time, Meteora gave me another path. Before I ever created this channel or started making video content, I spent roughly a year writing articles on my old account. I wanted people to understand what I had discovered. Today, I am eternally grateful for the love and support Meteora has shown me and my channel. I am thankful every day that I get to wake up, make content around $MET, and keep spreading the knowledge that let me survive and then thrive in this space. After getting to know the people behind it, my conviction has only grown The Meteora team is one of the most driven, focused, and understanding groups of people I have ever encountered. Their laser focus and discipline genuinely inspire me. It reminds me of the obsession you read about from teams inside early technology companies that eventually changed entire industries. AAPL. MSFT. I’ve heard stories of them working way past the workday. Working on vacation. Just building. And on top of operating with integrity — something I value extremely highly — they have built what I believe is the best user experience in crypto liquidity provision. Period. I DARE you to use Meteora for months and then go LP somewhere else for real. It’s literally like going back to stone age. The gap is huge. UI. Customizability. How you structure a position. How much control the LP actually has. The flow going through the pools. The entire experience feels built around actually empowering the person providing the liquidity. Seeing a Meteora DLMM take over as the main book on a major token (Ansem) was a crazyyyy milestone. THIS is what retail liquidity provision is about. Bringing the power of market making out of closed institutions and putting it directly into your pocket and onto your desk. Liquidity Is the Backbone This is where it gets bigger than memes. Liquidity is not just important for memes. Liquidity is the BACKBONE of onchain finance. Markets cannot function without liquidity. You can create millions of tokens, stocks, commodities, currencies, real-world assets, prediction markets, synthetic assets, or entirely new financial instruments. It does not matter. If people cannot efficiently enter and exit those markets, those markets will struggle to survive. Every new asset that moves onchain creates another potential market. Every new market needs liquidity. Every new dollar entering those markets needs somewhere to transact. Someone has to make those markets. Someone has to provide that liquidity. And increasingly, I believe that liquidity will be provided through infrastructure like Meteora. That leads us into the future. The Future Is Onchain I am a perma crypto bull. And I am a perma Solana bull. I simply do not believe this technology is disappearing because of short-term price fluctuations. AI is advancing at an exponential rate. Technology continues accelerating. Digital ownership continues expanding. Financial infrastructure continues moving online. And I believe that, over time, increasingly more value will exist natively on blockchains. One day, I was walking through the field where I go to exercise and clear my mind. I was thinking about all of the assets that still haven't moved onchain. And all of the money that still hasn't entered crypto. I looked around at the horizon and had this overwhelming vision of how much capital currently sits dormant relative to what could eventually enter these systems. Trillions upon trillions of dollars exist throughout traditional financial markets. Stocks. Bonds. Commodities. Currencies. Real estate. Private markets. Entire categories of assets that barely interact with public blockchains today. If even a fraction of global financial activity migrates onchain, the liquidity requirements become enormous. SO many things will be tokenized. SO many assets will become digital. And so much capital will need somewhere to trade. That is where my Meteora thesis becomes extremely simple. Meteora is building the market-making hub for that world. It is positioned in an incredible place because it can serve nearly every category of liquidity provider. The retail trader. The whale. The project. The professional market maker. The fund. The institution. Different participants will deploy different amounts of money and use different strategies. But they all need infrastructure capable of turning capital into usable markets. And Meteora makes that process accessible and customizable. Historically, if you wanted to become a traditional market maker, you needed infrastructure, relationships, capital, technology, access, and often an entire organization behind you. Today? I can open Meteora from my computer. I can choose where I want to provide liquidity. I can determine the range where I want my capital deployed. I can select the fee structure I believe makes sense. I can manage my risk. And I can participate directly in market making. That is insane. With the addition of @sunrise bringing stock assets onchain, I can literally LP STOCKS ON METEORA. Do you understand how absurd that is? I don't have to become an institutional market maker. I don't have to build an entire brokerage operation. I don't have to restrict my thinking to the traditional structure of financial markets. I can interact with these assets directly on Solana. And we are still ridiculously early in this transition. Meteora is helping democratize market making. You may not see the full vision yet. But I implore you to dig deeper and form your own opinion before dismissing what is happening here. Because I believe this is the future. Why My Conviction Keeps Growing The Meteora team GRINDS every day for YOU. For US. For the people actually using the product. I become extremely defensive whenever people casually talk down on them because I don't think many people understand how powerful the tool they have provided us actually is. And you can access it for FREE. On top of that, they have repeatedly rewarded their users. They have listened to power users. They have addressed criticism publicly. They have continued improving the product. They don't stop. Look at the amount of progress made in just the past year. A completely revamped UI. New incentive systems. Referral staking. Integrations with teams across Solana. New liquidity infrastructure. Another major distribution of tokens to users. Constant improvements based directly on feedback from the people actually using the platform. They keep building. They keep listening. They keep giving. And I am incredibly proud that I get to play even a small role in that journey. Meteora was a gift to me. And because of that, I feel strongly convicted to share everything I have learned about using it with other people. My Bet. I have sold exactly ZERO of my initial $MET allocation from October 2025. It is staked. And it will remain one of the largest conviction positions of my life. Not because of a ticker. Because I’m betting on the team. I’m betting on the tech. I’m betting on liquidity moving onchain. I’m betting on Solana. I’m betting on a future where anyone can participate in markets that used to belong to a small group of institutions. And I think Meteora is extremely well positioned for that. Use the fear. Do the research. Learn how liquidity actually works. Learn how to LP. Open positions. Take some losses. Ask questions. Use the product. Conviction from thousands of hours in DLMM pools is not the same as conviction from staring at a chart. The @met_LParmy is filled with some of the most helpful people I have ever met, and it is the strongest community I have personally seen in crypto. They show up. They help. They experiment. They print. Every single day. Maybe this is your calling too. Do the research. Use the product. Form your own conviction. As for me? Mine was already built the long way. Bullish $MET. We will see you at the top. —----------------------------- Obviously, I’m affiliated with Meteora and hold a substantial amount of $MET. If that makes you skeptical of what I’m saying, good. Use the product and come to your own conclusion. Also if you like this image I made, I might sell it as a poster if there is interest. Because I want one too.

PSA: $25,000 in prize rewards are up for grabs for building on top of @MeteoraAG DBC. 1) Stocklana, $5000 prize pool (Ends Sep 25) 2) Crypto World’s Fair, $20,000 prize pool (Ends Oct 13) If you’re a builder or vibecoder, we want to see what you’re working on.

I looked at how people actually LP on @MeteoraAG and they fall into six strategies. Two things decide which one you are doing: how long you hold, and how old the token is. Here is all six, what each one is good at, and where each one hurts. 👇

The Reward Token Chart Killer LPs Should Watch For “The Stonk meta is super hot right now. LPers go where the volume is. They’re creating a reason for traders to buy and hold the token — they’re getting paid in those rewards. However one of the issues is that transfer fee. What they’re doing with that money is they’re going around and they’re buying those rewards and distributing it to the holder wallets. If you’re LPing it and you’ve got all of it in the pool, you get none of those rewards.” “One thing that I found out recently is they’ll take all that token and sell it in one clip to buy the rewards. Imagine selling 41 SOL of a token on an $80k or $100k market cap. What does that do to that chart? It just kills it. If the thing is run to 17 million then okay. On a smaller mcap it could do a lot of damage.”

Why Top LPs Go Wide Token Side “Who in the right mind goes that wide on token side? You would be surprised who does that. Very successful LPs. Going token side it really makes sense to go wider because you need to account for the impermanent loss that you would experience if you went super tight.” “If you’re anticipating a huge pump you don’t want to sell out of your tokens. I’ve seen Evil Panda set up a token sided only bid ask of like 28,000%. I’ve seen Alex do this. A lot of successful LPs actually do go wide as hell on token side. It depends on the context. Maybe you’re at the bottom and the only place from here to go is up.”

I STOPPED LOOKING AT VOLUME AS A GREEN LIGHT FOR LPING STONKS PAIRS. A pair doing huge volume doesn’t automatically mean I want my SOL sitting in its bins. Some of these pairs have a lot of activity because there’s a real market. Others have a big number on the dashboard and a chart that looks alive… until you actually inspect what’s happening. So before I LP a Stonks pair, I run it through a few checks. 🧵

Cycle 2 of the Referral Staking Program is complete! With your help, Cycle 2 closed with: → 89M+ MET staked → $373K in estimated rewards → 11K+ users referred The LP Army continued to turn up, printing from the latest metas, and bringing the next wave of LPs into Meteora.

penning down some thoughts as a lot has happened these past few weeks. the @MeteoraAG team and i have been heads down building with only one primary goal: To make DeFi exciting again since our DBC update supporting stocks as quote tokens, the trenches have been moving. you can launch against stocks now, and soon you can launch tokens with transfer fee and LP-ing is the part most people still sleep on today, but those who know about this hidden gem are printing daily. just August only, Meteora did $5.4B in volume and $27.5M in fees (majority of it going to LPers), with DLMM fees up 56% MoM. we didn’t just ship gud fee tek. we spent the year making the UI feel like a liquidity terminal so LPs can actually turn pro market making community ✅ a team that wants you to win ✅ if it’s on @solana, you can definitely launch and LP it on meteora
