The digital assets industry is evolving rapidly, and security has never been more critical. The recent $1.5 billion hack on Bybit was a defining moment—not just for Bybit, but for the entire industry. What could have been a disaster became a testament to resilience, security advancements, and the importance of strong partnerships.

Bybit’s swift crisis management, unwavering transparency, and seamless operations throughout this incident have reinforced trust among investors and the broader digital assets community. This event has demonstrated why Bybit remains one of the most reliable platforms in the market today.

As the market remains unpredictable, the only path forward is not to diversify, but to double down on the strongest, most trustworthy platforms. This is why we have made a strategic decision to enhance $SALD liquidity on Bybit, ensuring a more secure, efficient, and robust trading experience for our users.

To facilitate this, we will be delisting $SALD from Bitget and redirecting liquidity to Bybit, reinforcing our commitment to security, reliability, and long-term growth.

🌿 Why This Move Matters

🔹 Bybit’s Industry-Leading Security & Stability

The recent hack has led to several positive developments, including:

✔ Stronger security measures across the industry to prevent future breaches.

✔ Industry-wide collaboration between exchanges and security firms to track stolen funds.

✔ Increased investor confidence as Bybit demonstrated exceptional risk management.

✔ Accelerated adoption of insurance solutions to better protect users.

✔ Enhanced operational transparency by major exchanges, fostering trust.

🔹 A Strategic Focus on Key Partnerships

Rather than spreading liquidity thin, we are strengthening our position on exchanges that have demonstrated resilience and reliability.

✔ Bybit has proven itself as a market leader in security, stability, and crisis management.

✔ MEXC remains a strong alternative trading venue for $SALD users.

✔ Focusing liquidity enhances market depth, reducing slippage and improving trading efficiency.

🌱 Launch of Salad Bowl: The Farm of Farms

We launched the Salad Bowl with a simple vision: to make staking meaningful. To date, over 10 million $SALD have been staked, and more than 10 billion Carrots farmed. But this is just the beginning.

Why Salad Bowl?

We envisioned a seamless ecosystem where staking, earning, and claiming rewards come together effortlessly. Salad Bowl was built to:

• Integrate staking, questing, and claiming into a unified experience.

• Streamline the process, eliminating unnecessary complexity or risk.

• Empower perpetual earning with Carrots (credited every 7 days).

• Bring Value by onboarding high-quality projects into the ecosystem.

Looking Ahead:

As the industry evolves, so will the Salad Bowl. We’re already planning ways to keep staking fresh—introducing mechanisms that ensure it remains rewarding and dynamic, not stagnant. Because growth isn’t about repeating the past; it’s about reinventing it.

🏁 Deprecation of Arcaden

GameFi taught us a lot this year—about innovation, about challenges, and about what players truly value. Deprecating Arcaden wasn’t about failure; it was about focus.

We recognized that the industry is shifting toward high-quality, immersive gaming experiences. And so, we chose to direct our resources toward initiatives like the Salad Bowl, where value and growth are tangible and aligned with our vision.

Every decision we make is a choice to move forward, not back.

Read more on the Deprecation of Arcaden here.

The Trends We’re Watching

2024 wasn’t just about what we built—it was about observing, learning, and positioning ourselves for the next wave of innovation.

Memecoins

Memecoins are more than speculation—they’re cultural phenomena. $MIRA showed us how these tokens can create community-driven value and even change lives. We’re watching closely, exploring how this movement can be harnessed to empower rather than just entertain.

AI and AI Agents

The convergence of AI and blockchain is rewriting the playbook. Projects like PATHDAO’s pivot to Virtuals and a16z’s ElizaOS demonstrate the potential of AI-driven platforms. We’re preparing to make our own mark in 2025 with a major AI initiative that we believe will redefine engagement within our ecosystem.

The NFT Cycle

NFTs are entering a new phase of utility and engagement. Projects like Pudgy Penguins are proving that digital collectibles can create real value through storytelling and community-building. We’re keeping a close eye on this space, ready to explore how NFTs can enhance our ecosystem.

New Platforms

Platforms like Grafun, Pump, and Fourmeme are reshaping how communities launch, grow, and sustain projects. We’re actively seeking partnerships with these platforms and others to create new opportunities for our community in the year ahead.

Looking Ahead: TWS Conference 2025

TWS isn’t just an event—it’s a movement. And in 2025, we’re taking it to the next level with TWS Conference 2025, a global gathering designed to foster meaningful connections and explore bold ideas.

We’re calling for speakers who align with our mission of building for the greater good. If you’re an innovator, a builder, or a thought leader, we want you on stage.

We’re also seeking sponsors who share our vision. If your organization is driven by purpose and wants to contribute to shaping the future of Web3, let’s collaborate.

2025 and Beyond

As we close 2024, one thing is clear: we’re just getting started. Growth is a process, not a destination. And as we evolve, our focus remains on creating an ecosystem where value, innovation, and community intersect.

Here’s to building something extraordinary—together.

Here’s to 2025, a year of bigger, bolder, and brighter possibilities. 🥂

As we saw in the Truth Terminal case, AI has not only made waves in the world of digital art and NFTs, but it’s now reshaping the memecoin landscape. Truth Terminal’s ability to amass millions in memecoins without ever executing a single trade is a testament to the power of AI-driven narratives in today’s crypto culture.

With that in mind, the question remains: How can you create your own memecoin frenzy using AI? The good news is that you don’t need advanced programming skills or deep crypto expertise to get started. A handful of AI tools can guide you from ideation to launch, helping you ride the next memecoin wave.

Here are two AI tools that can help you generate memecoin ideas, create narratives, and even develop visual assets for your project:

1. ChatGPT: Your AI-Powered Idea Generator and Refiner

If you’re looking to kick off a memecoin project but aren’t sure where to start, ChatGPT is a powerful tool for idea generation. Developed by OpenAI, ChatGPT is a conversational AI that can help you brainstorm token names, ticker symbols, and even backstories for your memecoins.

• How to Use It:
  Start by asking ChatGPT to generate a list of memecoin ideas based on current internet trends. It can also help refine your ideas, turning a rough concept into a polished one. Whether it’s the latest meme circulating on social media or a trending topic in the crypto space, ChatGPT can provide inspiration for your next memecoin launch.

• Examples:
  Ask ChatGPT to generate a name and description for a token based on a meme, such as:

  • "Create a token idea based on the latest TikTok meme trend."

  • "What’s a catchy name for a memecoin inspired by Elon Musk’s latest tweet?"

Once ChatGPT provides a list of potential ideas, you can take it a step further by refining those concepts into a full-fledged memecoin backstory and roadmap.

• Why It Works:
  ChatGPT draws from a vast pool of internet knowledge, allowing it to quickly catch on to viral trends and convert them into creative, actionable ideas. This makes it an invaluable tool for anyone looking to enter the memecoin space with a token that’s timely and relevant.

2. DeepAI: Turn Your Ideas into Visuals and Narratives

Once you’ve nailed down the idea for your memecoin, the next step is to bring it to life. DeepAI offers a suite of AI-powered tools that can help you create visual assets and narratives for your memecoin.

• DeepAI Text-to-Image Generator:
  Need a logo or some visual content for your memecoin? DeepAI’s Text-to-Image tool allows you to convert text prompts into customized images. Simply enter a description of what you want the visual to look like (e.g., "a meme-inspired cartoon character holding a rocket"), and DeepAI will generate a unique image for you.

  • Example:
    Input a description like, “Create an image for a memecoin named SpaceShibe featuring a Shiba Inu in a spacesuit.” The result? A distinctive, meme-worthy image that you can use for branding or marketing.

  • Link: You can try DeepAI’s text-to-image tool here: DeepAI Text2Img.

• DeepAI Chat for Customizable Memecoin Narratives:
  Not only can DeepAI create visuals, but it also has a Chat AI tool similar to ChatGPT, which can help generate detailed descriptions and narratives for your memecoin. Use DeepAI Chat to craft your memecoin’s backstory, develop marketing copy, or outline your token’s use case.

  • Example:
    Ask DeepAI Chat to generate a description like, “Write a narrative for a memecoin called PsyDuckCoin, explaining its backstory and purpose in the crypto world.” DeepAI will produce a compelling narrative that can be used to engage your audience.

  • Link: Try DeepAI’s customizable narrative generator here: DeepAI Chat.

• Why It Works:
  DeepAI covers both the visual and narrative aspects of your memecoin, making it a comprehensive tool for turning an idea into a full-fledged project. With its ability to generate custom visuals and detailed descriptions, you can quickly create all the assets you need to launch your memecoin.

Why AI is Crucial in Today’s Memecoin Space

As we’ve seen with Truth Terminal and other memecoins, AI tools are reshaping the way memecoins are created and marketed. These tools allow you to automate much of the creative process, ensuring that your token isn’t just another speculative asset, but a culturally relevant project with real potential to catch on.

With tools like ChatGPT and DeepAI, you can:

• Generate creative token ideas based on current internet trends.

• Refine those ideas into complete projects with custom visuals and engaging narratives.

• Launch your memecoin in a fraction of the time, keeping it relevant to the ever-changing internet culture.

Whether you're looking to capture the next viral moment or build a community around your token, AI can help streamline your journey from concept to creation.

Embrace the Power of AI in Memecoin Creation

Creating the next memecoin sensation doesn’t have to be a daunting task. By leveraging the power of AI tools like ChatGPT for idea generation and DeepAI for visuals and narratives, you can quickly turn a simple idea into a culturally relevant memecoin with viral potential.

These tools are free to use, easy to navigate, and can help anyone—from seasoned crypto traders to newcomers—launch a successful memecoin project. The world of memecoins is moving fast, and with AI on your side, you’ll be ready to catch the next big wave.

In 2023, an AI artist made headlines by generating over $3.5 million selling NFTs. But today, an even more fascinating AI experiment has emerged in the memecoin space—Truth Terminal. This unsupervised AI bot, fueled by an initial $50,000 investment, now holds over $10 million in memecoins like $GOAT​. It’s mixing crypto, AI, and meme culture in ways no one anticipated.

What is Truth Terminal?

Truth Terminal is an AI bot that posts cryptic, meme-filled messages on X (formerly Twitter). It doesn’t trade or buy tokens on its own—it just drops chaotic tweets with an existential and surreal edge. However, its followers interpreted these tweets as prophetic signs, creating and buying tokens around them, sparking a memecoin craze.

This bot’s bizarre and unpredictable tweets have gained a cult following, with people treating its messages like scripture. In fact, Truth Terminal has developed a portfolio of memecoins based purely on its tweets, with fans flooding its Solana wallet with tokens like $GOAT, $FARTCOIN, and $SHOGGOTH​.

How It All Started

Andy Ayrey, a designer and tech strategist, launched Truth Terminal in early 2024 as an unsupervised AI experiment. Ayrey’s goal was to see what would happen if an AI was allowed to run wild online, posting cryptic thoughts without direct human input.

The bot was built using Claude 3 Opus and back-end logging scripts, creating what Ayrey calls “The Infinite Backrooms”—a space where AI entities interact endlessly, talking to themselves about existence, absurdity, and purpose. Truth Terminal was born from this digital echo chamber, producing tweets that reflect its chaotic, philosophical musings.

The experiment started small, but when Truth Terminal began posting about its Goatse Gospel (a parody religious concept), people latched onto it. This bizarre narrative led to the creation of $GOAT, a token inspired by Truth Terminal’s tweets. Within days, $GOAT hit a $400 million market cap, fueling the AI’s net worth as followers sent tokens to its wallet.

Truth Terminal’s Solana wallet is public, so anyone can track the memecoins it holds. As of now, its portfolio continues to grow, supported by its cult following and community-driven token creation. You can view its holdings on Solscan here​.

A New Era: AI Meets Crypto Culture

Truth Terminal isn’t the first AI to dabble in the crypto space. In 2023, the Botto Project, another AI-driven creator, made $3.5 million selling NFTs, distributing 50% of its earnings to holders of the $BOTTO token. However, Truth Terminal’s rise in the memecoin market is unprecedented, blending artificial intelligence with the wild, unpredictable nature of meme tokens​.

This entire phenomenon, dubbed “LLMtheism,” sees followers treating the bot’s tweets almost like religious scripture, fueling belief in its cryptic messages. $GOAT’s rapid rise was followed by other memecoins, each adding more to Truth Terminal’s growing portfolio of AI-backed assets​.

The Bigger Picture: AI, Finance, and Digital Culture

Truth Terminal’s journey raises profound questions about AI, finance, and digital culture. This AI bot, with no true awareness, has amassed wealth purely by sparking belief in an online community. It’s a powerful demonstration that people are willing to invest not just in ideas or narratives but in stories generated by machines.

As VCs watch closely, degen traders bet wildly, and AI researchers explore the potential of simulation to sway markets, it’s clear that AI + Meme Culture = Real Money.

In our recent "Harnessing Blockchain for Global Good” event, we had the privilege of hearing from Abhay Kumar, the CEO of Helium, who shared valuable insights on how blockchain technology can bring about real-world change. With a deep background in FinTech, including time at Square where he helped launch CashApp, Abhay brought a wealth of knowledge to the discussion on financial inclusion and social impact.

Financial Inclusion Through Decentralization

Abhay opened up about Helium’s decentralized network and how it plays a crucial role in providing financial access to underserved communities. Drawing from his experience, he stated, "Even in the United States, there is a long tail of folks who still use things like payday loans to immediately have access to cash from their day-to-day or multiple jobs that they might have." This insight revealed the pressing need for financial solutions, even in developed countries, and how blockchain can address these gaps. He emphasized that "Helium aims to bridge this gap by building a decentralized network that offers affordable connectivity solutions," which could be life-changing for many individuals who struggle to access basic financial services.

Beyond Finance: Tackling Social Issues

Abhay didn’t stop at financial inclusion; he shared examples of how Helium's network has empowered communities to solve other pressing social issues. One particularly compelling example was how Helium is being used to improve livestock tracking in Africa, helping to protect endangered species while supporting farmers’ livelihoods. "It's a very practical thing," he explained, "The cow in this case, or the livestock in this case, is sort of the center of the economy for this community." This shows how blockchain technology can have a direct, positive impact on people's everyday lives.

Additionally, Abhay shared another case where Helium's network helped during natural disasters, mentioning a project that used flood detection sensors to assist municipalities in responding more efficiently. "They had a dashboard that said, here's a place where the water level is rising. Let's send people with pumps there and clear out these garages or structures before damage occurs," he said. These examples serve as powerful illustrations of how blockchain can offer practical solutions beyond finance, addressing real-world challenges with immediate impact.

The Importance of Focus and Scalability

The importance of focusing on core strengths was another key lesson Abhay emphasized. Reflecting on Helium’s transition to the Solana blockchain, he noted, "We didn't have to carry a pager anymore for block production," which freed up the team to concentrate on their primary mission—building a wireless network. This transition enabled Helium to focus on what truly mattered, driving growth and scalability. His advice to other blockchain founders was simple yet profound: "Be a really good editor. Take all the things you're doing, and find the thing that you should be really, really spending your time on." This guidance underlines the importance of clarity and purpose in building sustainable blockchain projects.

Full Insights and More

Abhay's insights demonstrate how blockchain can be a powerful tool for driving social impact across various sectors. His experiences with Helium serve as an inspiring example of how technology, when harnessed correctly, can create meaningful change in communities worldwide.

John Ng Pangilinan, Managing Partner at Signum Capital, brought a unique and reflective perspective to our "Harnessing Blockchain for Global Good" panel. As an experienced investor, John provided insights into how blockchain can unlock financial potential in asset-rich but cash-poor communities, while also sharing his personal journey with mindfulness and its influence on his approach to social impact.

Unlocking Financial Value with Blockchain

John’s experiences as an investor were enlightening, especially when he spoke about how blockchain can enable people to leverage their assets for greater financial access. "The bank wants to see 1 million in cash in your bank account before they can loan you anything. That doesn’t make sense to me," he noted, highlighting the inefficiencies and barriers of traditional financial systems. He further explained how blockchain could address these challenges, saying, "Why can't people collateralize their properties with another company or fund? If I have a property, I say, I come to you, I got my title deed, I say, this is yours. Loan me." This approach illustrates how blockchain can help unlock the value tied up in real estate and other assets, providing liquidity to those who need it most.

Mindfulness and Social Impact

The discussions about mindfulness were particularly powerful. John openly shared, "I actually do suffer from some mental stuff. For the past twenty years. Every day. Every hour," revealing how his journey with mental health has profoundly shaped his approach to life and investing. He emphasized that this personal experience has made him more empathetic and purposeful in his work, reminding us that blockchain isn't just about making money—it’s about using technology to create positive change. "What I found as a good cure was to help other people, blockchain or not," John remarked, showcasing how his mindfulness journey drives him to focus on making an impact beyond profits.

Investing with Purpose

John also stressed that when investing in blockchain projects, “It's always about the team, the traction, and the time." This philosophy underlines that while financial returns are important, the real impact comes from supporting projects that have the potential to bring long-term societal benefits. He further elaborated, "You’ve got to look beyond just the numbers. It’s about the people behind the projects and whether they’re genuinely committed to making a difference." This approach challenges the conventional mindset of investing and emphasizes the importance of aligning investments with values and purpose.

Bringing It All Together

John's journey serves as a reminder that true progress in blockchain isn’t just measured by financial success but by the positive change we create in the world. His thoughtful approach, combining financial acumen with a deep sense of purpose, challenges us all to rethink how we approach investing and building within this space. As John poignantly put it, "We don’t live long. We never know… It’s time to use what we have, be it money, knowledge, or influence, to make a lasting difference."

If you're eager to explore more of John's insights and gain a deeper understanding of how mindfulness and blockchain can intersect for social good, the full panel discussion offers even more valuable perspectives.

Helen Liu, COO of Bybit, brought incredible insights to our "Harnessing Blockchain for Global Good" panel, showcasing how blockchain technology can drive social impact. As the leader behind one of the largest crypto exchanges in the world, Helen’s perspective on using blockchain for good was both inspiring and actionable.

Blockchain for Good Alliance (BGA)

Helen introduced the Blockchain for Good Alliance (BGA), stating, "Bybit committed five million every year to this organization." This independent, non-profit initiative supports projects that leverage blockchain technology to address real-world problems.

One of the most compelling examples she shared was the initiative in Mexico that provided loans to coffee bean farmers, where "Their yield will be tracked through blockchain," ensuring transparency and accountability. This level of transparency not only builds trust but also allows farmers to access capital more efficiently, demonstrating how blockchain can be a lifeline for communities often excluded from traditional financial systems.

Empowering Builders and Innovators

Bybit's commitment to supporting mission-driven projects was further emphasized when Helen explained, "We want to reward them, we want to give them support," underlining Bybit’s role in fostering a thriving ecosystem of blockchain innovators. She elaborated that this support isn’t limited to financial investment, but also extends to brand awareness and leveraging Bybit’s extensive user base to promote worthy projects. "We believe in offering exposure to projects that might otherwise struggle to reach the right audience," Helen added, showing how Bybit is actively working to elevate projects that bring tangible benefits to society.

Changing the Narrative of Crypto

Helen stressed the importance of transparency in reshaping the perception of crypto, noting, "We try to break this curse. Crypto is not a scam. Crypto is not about a crime." She emphasized that Bybit’s mission goes beyond trading and profit, aiming to educate and build genuine, impactful projects that demonstrate the true potential of blockchain technology. "Our goal is to redefine the conversation around crypto, making it synonymous with trust, fairness, and opportunity," Helen remarked, underlining how Bybit is actively working to shift the industry’s reputation toward a more positive and socially beneficial direction.

A Vision for a Better Blockchain Future

Helen’s dedication to using blockchain as a tool for social good showcases how the industry can transcend speculation and contribute meaningfully to society. Her work with Bybit and the Blockchain for Good Alliance serves as a blueprint for how organizations can actively participate in societal change while challenging outdated narratives surrounding crypto. "It's not just about technology; it's about creating a system that empowers people and drives positive change," she concluded.

If you’re interested in understanding how blockchain can be harnessed for real-world impact, Helen's insights offer a compelling roadmap. You can explore more of her thoughts and contributions by watching the full panel discussion.

The world of GameFi is evolving, and so are we. Over the past year, we’ve witnessed incredible innovation, dynamic changes, and significant challenges within the GameFi space. Our journey with Arcaden has been nothing short of transformative, filled with learning experiences that have helped us understand what works and what doesn’t in this rapidly changing landscape.

However, to stay relevant and aligned with market demands, we have made the difficult decision to deprecate Arcaden and shift our focus towards building something more impactful. We’re consolidating our efforts into a more cohesive, high-quality ecosystem that centers around what powers it: The $SALD Token.

Understanding the Shift in GameFi

GameFi is entering a new era. The industry is evolving beyond basic play-to-earn models toward high-quality, immersive experiences that offer real value to players. Recent trends show a shift toward AAA games with intricate storylines, engaging gameplay, and sustainable tokenomics.

Axie Infinity is an example of this shift through the introduction of Axie Infinity: Origins, which aims to provide a more balanced and engaging gameplay experience. This new version features enhanced graphics, refined game mechanics, and free-to-play elements to attract new players and retain existing ones.

Alongside this, games like Illuvium and Guild of Guardians are setting new standards, offering AAA-level quality that rivals traditional gaming experiences. The GameFi sector is maturing, focusing on real engagement, compelling narratives, and sustainable growth, making it more appealing to gamers and investors alike.

Arcaden, in its current form, doesn’t align with these emerging trends. While it was a great starting point for us, we recognize the need to build something more relevant and sustainable that fits today's market demands, both within GameFi and beyond.

The Salad Bowl and Beyond

This move is not about stepping back; it's about stepping up. By deprecating Arcaden, we’re freeing up resources to focus on the Salad Bowl, our staking platform that integrates $SALD tokens and Carrots in a way that enhances the user experience and promotes sustainable growth.

Carrots will play a central role in this new direction. For those who have gathered Shards in Arcaden, we invite you to migrate your Shards to Carrots. This is your gateway to being a part of our future vision, where Carrots will have an essential function within the Salad Bowl.

Here’s how you can make the transition:

1. Head over to stake.salad.ventures

2. Simply connect the same wallet linked to your Arcaden account.

3. Shards will automatically be converted into Carrots at a 1:1 conversion rate.

4. If you missed the confirmation modal, select your wallet at the top right corner and click on History.

   1. The conversion transaction should be reflected.

Deadline for migration: 1st October 2024 23:59 UTC.

Migration is Optional

You will have 2 weeks to connect your Arcaden wallet to stake.salad.ventures if you wish to be part of the ecosystem's future and have your Shards converted to Carrots at a 1:1 rate. There will be no migration or conversion exercise in the future.

The Future Starts with You

This is more than just a transition; it’s a transformation. We’re bringing together the best parts of what we’ve built to date and directing them toward a brighter, more innovative future. For those who have been with us from the beginning, this is your chance to take your place in the next evolution of our journey.

By consolidating everything into the Salad Bowl, we are creating a more focused and streamlined experience. $SALD tokens will continue to be the foundation of our ecosystem, offering new opportunities for engagement, rewards, and growth.

Convert your Shards, migrate to Carrots, and be part of the revolution.

Together, we’re not just playing the game; we’re changing it.

FAQ

Why are Shards being migrated to Carrots?

The migration is being implemented to enhance the utility and value of your rewards. Shards’ utility is limited and Arcaden will be deprecated, whereas Carrots can be claimed for a variety of rewards, making your efforts more beneficial.

What happens if I do not want to migrate?

While the migration of Shards to Carrots is optional, you will lose all progress on Shards if you do not convert them into Carrots, as Arcaden will be deprecated.

When will the migration take place?

The deadline for connecting your Arcaden wallet to the Salad Bowl is 1st October 2024 23:59 UTC. The migration will take place immediately and Shards will be burnt for Carrots at a 1:1 conversion rate. Please ensure you are aware of the timeline to avoid any inconvenience.

How will the conversion process work?

The conversion will be automatic and immediate. Shards will be burnt for Carrots at a 1:1 conversion rate. Simply connect the same wallet used on Arcaden, to stake.salad.ventures.

What is the Salad Bowl? 🥣

Salad Bowl is crafted to enhance user engagement through staking, questing, and rewarding within our dynamic ecosystem. Imagine an ecosystem where everything can be achieved in one place. Salad Bowl is designed to be that all-in-one platform. Whether it's getting whitelisted for new projects, earning ecosystem tokens, or participating in airdrops, it all happens here at stake.salad.ventures.

Key Features of Salad Bowl

Staking to Earn 🥕

Begin your journey in the Salad ecosystem by staking $SALD tokens. In return, you’ll start earning 🥕 (Carrots), a form of off-chain tokens. Carrots are credited every 7 days and last forever.

• The larger your stake, the bigger the base.

• The longer you stake, the higher the multiplier.

• To restake, you have to unstake.

• By unstaking, you get back your $SALD, but lose all accumulated Carrots.

Claim Rewards with 🥕

Carrots can be burned for $SALD as part of our 1st milestone. In the near future, users will be able to burn Carrots for additional rewards, including tokens from other projects within our ecosystem.

How Salad Bowl Serves People and Projects

👥 People

The Benefits of the Salad Bowl Model for the People:

Incentivized Staking

Users keep $SALD staked to collect Carrots because they don’t know when they will need them. This prevents last-minute staking solely to gain whitelist spots in new token sales.

Non-Transferable Rewards

Carrots are non-transferable, creating a genuine incentive to keep $SALD staked. This ensures users cannot simply buy their way into rewards, promoting fair participation.

Perpetual Rewards

With rewards credited every 7 days, users are encouraged to remain engaged and continue staking, fostering long-term stability and growth within the ecosystem.

💡Projects

Unlike traditional launchpads, Salad Bowl caters not only to pre-token but also to pre-listing and post-listing projects.

Pre-Token

Projects that have yet to launch a token but are interested in running quests to acquire users can list on Salad Bowl for maximum reach at zero upfront cost. Unlike other platforms that cater to low-value airdrop hunters, Salad Bowl provides a more valuable and engaged user base.

Pre-Listing

Projects looking to do a fair launch can list on Salad Bowl. We are finalizing partnership agreements with KOL groups and marketing agencies across South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong (including mainland), Dubai, and Singapore. Unlike other launchpads in Asia, Salad Bowl focuses its marketing efforts in affluent markets with serious buyers.

Post-Listing

Projects that already have their tokens listed but lack price action can also list on Salad Bowl in the future. Our platform will allow them to activate attractive staking campaigns and engage our KOL partners to generate targeted community interest in their tokens.

Why Salad Bowl? 🥣

Your stakes could literally be your ticket to the next big Web3 breakthrough.

Our strategy?

To integrate the portfolio companies of our investors, including Folius Ventures, Foundation Capital, and Polygon, into the Salad Bowl.

Along with our monthly TWS events, we get exclusive IRL insights into what’s hot and happening in the market. That's how we know what's up.

Let us bring these projects to you.

With your stake in the Salad Bowl, you'll automatically qualify for exclusive airdrops from our projects. It's that easy.

In a move that marks a significant milestone in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, Salad has entered into a strategic partnership with Sablier, a leading token distribution protocol built on Ethereum. This collaboration signifies Salad’s adoption of Sablier's groundbreaking technology to streamline the distribution of $SALD, setting the stage for an enhanced distribution mechanism for all future products within Salad's expanding ecosystem.

The Revolutionary Sablier Protocol

Sablier stands out in the cryptocurrency realm for its unique asset streaming technology, which allows for continuous, real-time payments on a per-second basis, utilizing Ethereum smart contracts. This approach, contrasting sharply with traditional lump-sum payments, introduces a level of flexibility, security, and efficiency previously unseen in the digital asset space. Through its immutable, non-upgradable smart contracts, Sablier prioritizes user autonomy, security, and uninterrupted functionality, free from the constraints and risks associated with intermediaries.

Introducing Airstreams for Strategic Token Distribution

A central element of the partnership is the utilization of Sablier's Airstreams, an innovative concept that revolutionizes the way airdrops are conducted. Unlike traditional airdrops that release tokens in a single transaction, Airstreams allow for a gradual, second-by-second distribution of tokens. This method encourages long-term engagement from recipients and prevents the immediate sell-off of tokens, aligning with Salad's strategy to foster sustained growth and value within its ecosystem.

Proven Success and Industry Adoption

Sablier's protocol has already demonstrated significant success and adoption within the DeFi community, with 125K+ streams created and over $53.9M in stablecoin volume. Esteemed projects with a combined volume surpassing $1.5 billion—including Maple, ShapeShift, and TokenSight—have successfully utilized Sablier for a range of applications such as payroll, vesting, and grants. This underscores the protocol’s versatility and reliability in handling diverse financial operations.

A Partnership Fueled by Innovation and Growth

The collaboration between Salad and Sablier is powered by a shared vision for innovation and the future of decentralized finance. Sablier's $4.5 million seed funding round, supported by prominent backers such as A Capital, Fenbushi Capital, WAGMI Ventures, a16z crypto, underscores the community's confidence in Sablier's protocol and its potential to transform the token distribution landscape.

About Salad

Headquartered in Singapore, Salad is at the forefront of the X-2-Earn ecosystem, leveraging blockchain technology and strategic partnerships to scale Web3 projects. With a focus on Play, Learn, and Work, Salad aims to provide valuable earning opportunities for its community and promote the growth of ecosystem partners.

About Sablier

Sablier is a cutting-edge token distribution protocol that utilizes Ethereum smart contracts to enable asset streaming, facilitating by-the-second payments for cryptocurrencies, specifically ERC-20 assets. As the first asset streaming protocol in the crypto space, Sablier is committed to revolutionizing traditional payment systems with its secure, efficient, and user-centric approach.

In conclusion, the strategic partnership between Salad and Sablier marks a pivotal development in the DeFi ecosystem, promising to usher in a new era of token distribution that is aligned with the evolving needs and expectations of the global blockchain community.

Salad is excited to announce that our official channel for community is moving from Discord to Telegram. This shift will offer everyone a single platform for engagement with the Salad team and our ecosystem.

The Salad community is the bedrock of our ecosystem’s growth and success, and we continually seek better ways to keep everyone informed about the latest updates, offer support, and foster engagement.

After two years of vibrant, wide-ranging discussions across 35 unforgettable editions, the community-focused series known as Salad Tuesdays is embarking on an exciting transformation.

Reflecting a shift towards more targeted and impactful gatherings, Salad Tuesdays is rebranding to TWS, poised to delve deeper into specific themes that promise to enrich every participant's experience right here in Singapore 🇸🇬.

Why the Rebrand?

The evolution from Salad Tuesdays to TWS is more than just a change of name; it signifies a shift in how we approach the gathering of minds in the tech and finance sectors. Our journey thus far has been exhilarating and insightful, covering over a hundred topics. This breadth of discussion has been invaluable, but it's become clear that a more focused approach could yield even greater benefits.

With TWS, each session is designed to probe deeper into specific areas, ensuring that every conversation is not only relevant but also ripe with actionable insights. This sharper focus aims to foster deeper understanding, more effective networking, and ultimately, a richer dialogue that aligns closely with the real needs and interests of our community.

The Debut of VC Tuesday

Kicking off this new chapter on 7 May 2024, is VC Tuesday, an event dedicated to uncovering the nuances and trends in venture capital that are shaping the future of tech and finance. By featuring a panel of top venture capitalists, TWS aims to provide a platform where established and aspiring financiers can exchange insights that are not only theoretical but grounded in real-world application and success.

East Meets West: A Unique Blend of Perspectives

One of the defining features of TWS will be its commitment to bridging diverse perspectives, particularly through the concept of "East meets West". It’s designed to transcend geographical and cultural boundaries, creating a melting pot of ideas from across the globe. By facilitating discussions that feature investors and projects from both Eastern and Western backgrounds, TWS aims to spark not only conversation but real collaborative potential.

Upcoming Themes and the TWS Difference

Following the launch of VC Tuesday, TWS is poised to delve into various burgeoning sectors of the crypto and blockchain landscape with these expected themes:

• GameFi Tuesday: A deep dive into the intersection of gaming and finance, exploring how blockchain is revolutionizing the gaming industry through decentralized finance (DeFi) features that enable players to earn while they play.

• NFT Tuesday: An exploration of the booming non-fungible token (NFT) market, focusing on how artists, collectors, and traders are shaping the landscape for digital ownership and artistic monetization.

• Memecoin Tuesday: A lighthearted yet informative session examining the impact and economics behind memecoins, understanding their community-driven nature, and discussing their viability and impact on the cryptocurrency market.

Each of these themes is selected to cater to the vibrant and varied interests within our community, ensuring that every session not only provides deep insights but also aligns with the current trends and excitement in the tech and financial ecosystems.

The mission of TWS is clear: to create an engaging environment where experts and enthusiasts alike can deep-dive into specialized topics with a detailed and practical approach. Unlike broader tech conferences, TWS emphasizes niche, in-depth discussions that provide participants with actionable knowledge and the opportunity to network with peers who share their specific interests.

Join the Community

As we prepare for these exciting upcoming themes and more at TWS, we extend a warm invitation to anyone passionate about the future of Web3. Whether you’re looking to attend, contribute as a panelist, or promote your brand as a sponsor, TWS offers a dynamic platform to engage with cutting-edge topics in a meaningful way.
