Hi there, Cypher… If you’ve been half-paying attention to our corner of Solana Twitter (X) lately, you’d notice that our account and some others that we regularly talk about have started to move again after a period of quiet. Don’t fret. Among other things, deep work was being done.
Without much further ado, here’s what has happened in the last 10 days.
SolCypher: Building a Serious Trading Stack
SolCypher is pushing hard to become a full trading hub for Solana — what with our journey starting in Telegram and now expanding into a full web terminal.
Right now, we’re working on:
- Fast sniping + auto trading
- Copy trading
- AI insights
- Perps
- Trading leagues
- A web terminal that’s almost ready
Our founder, AD shared that:
- The web app is close to production
- A cashback system (up to 50%) is coming
- Their swap engine was rebuilt in Rust for speed
- $CYPHER buybacks are already live
- Social trading features (bringing your Telegram circle into the terminal) are on the way
On the token side:
- Total supply is 1B
- Team tokens are locked for 5 years
- Stakers got platform revenue + most LP fees
We’re not just a “hold and hope” token — it’s always been designed to pay real yield, with buybacks helping reduce supply over time with real proof in just how much we’ve disbursed in revenue payments over one year of launch as an indie trading bot:
ICM.RUN: Changing How They Launch Projects + Staking Is Live
ICM.RUN (Internet Capital Markets), a Solana incubator — they help projects get off the ground.
They announced a change to their regular modus operandi recently: instead of announcing projects 72 hours after launch, they’re switching to quarterly cohorts. That gives teams time to build hype and momentum before going public, instead of dumping info after the fact.
This helps with fomo and overhype, allowing teams to focus on the product (which should come first).
They’re also officially live with $ICM staking, and users are already earning USDC rewards. I know, because I can see the claim button currently, and just put up my second bucket yesterday.
Community reactions have been pretty bullish.
This means they’ve stuck to their word and kept delivering, strengthening the belief and narrative that ICM is trying to clean up the incubation process and reward people who stick around long-term.
Fair.Club: Trying to Fix Broken ICOs
Fair.Club is currently taking a swing at one of crypto’s biggest problems: trash ICOs.
Their idea is simple but bold — launches should be based on reputation and real products, not vibes and PDFs. (Ouch! Who hit me?) This also means that whoever gets to be a part of those ICOs? You have to be pretty legit and wanting to see something succeed, not trying to vamp or full hitler stack for a couple thousand dollars.
They’ve been vocal about how most ICOs fail because anyone can launch with nothing built. Fair.Club wants only projects with working, revenue-generating products to qualify.
They’re getting ready for their first launch and pushing a model where:
- Serious investors get early access
- Reputation matters
- Scams get filtered out
- Builders actually have skin in the game
They’re calling this “reputation-based ICOs” and positioning it as the next evolution of token launches. It has a X checker to verify profiles and give it an assessment and obviously the same might go for wallets?
Those invites are pretty hard to get these days, so I’m sorry I egged you on in the last few articles. .
The Big Picture
All three projects are attacking different parts of the same problem:
- SolCypher → better trading + real yield
- ICM.RUN → smarter incubation + staking rewards
- Fair.Club → cleaner launches + reputation-based access
One common theme? Utility over hype.
If you’re in Solana right now, these are worth watching — especially if you care about staking income, early-stage projects, or better trading tools.
Better still, Cypher, why not share this article with your trading groups and buddies?
Till the next one, I remain your fellow Cypher.
