Valos’ Post

📈 November has been an incredible month for Exo with $206k in gross billings. We were able to convert a core client to a retained model with another one likely to convert within the next couple weeks. This will bring our ARR to over $1M after 3 months. It's clear our ceiling will be determined by the amount of resources (i.e. engineers) we have, so we spent some time this month investing in our talent pipeline to help further scale in 2025. Our client base continues to be a blended mix of projects, but has been trending towards large DAOs and institutions. To me this feels like the right progression as we need to build a base of stable clients that will be able to weather a future downturn in the crypto market. The team shipped a lot this past month. Some highlights: - Jito liquidity defense Solana program (https://lnkd.in/diWjyQkj) - Solana real world asset (RWA) framework working with a large regulated institution to help bring their fund structures on-chain while maintaining regulatory compliance - A staking program for fomo3d, allowing their organization to reward token and NFT holders Incredibly proud of the team and co-founder Tommy Johnson. Time to finish off the first fiscal year strong 💪

🌞 THE TOP 5 BETA PLAYS ON SOLANA 🚀 Feeling bullish on Solana? For those who are interested in the expansion of its ecosystem beyond the basic pleasure of holding $SOL, here’s how you can do that: 1️⃣ Jito ($JTO) First and foremost, Solana, Jito’s powerhouse team, and its commanding control of Solana’s liquid staking market (around 90%) are atypical. But the real kicker? Revenue growth 📈. While at the beginning of last year, this company was making only $700-$1,400 weekly, today they gross up to $1,44M weekly! Talk about growth. 2️⃣ Jupiter ($JUP) Say you trade on Solana: you’ve handled Jupiter, at the very least, figuratively speaking. This DEX aggregator does everything from swapping and leverage to memecoin trading – and with all those trades, user numbers, and revenue are only going up. 📈 3️⃣ Raydium ($RAY) Raydium accounts for more than 60% of DEX trading volume on Solana and also gets paid the trading fees, all of which are linked to the $RAY token. Liking memecoins but conservative? If you want to invest in ORDER to make money and be exposed without a repeat of the stomach churning volatility, buy $RAY. 4️⃣ Hivemapper ($HONEY) Hivemapper compensates its users for mapping areas and sells that data to companies such as Google Maps. More demand will only result to even more $HONEY being consumed (you thought supply squeeze was bad? 🙈). But now with the current low price of $HONEY, it is our reasonably to think that the moment the ecosystem becomes, uh, consolidated, so investors can just look up to $HONEY for more gains. 5️⃣ Memecoins (e.g., $WIF) Whether people like it or not, memecoins are soaring this cycle. In the fair value note above, $WIF has been highlighted as an ideal memecoin that will grow and move with SOL but will not consistently 100x. In situation where $SOL increases, $WIF can skyrocket🚀 However don’t forget this is a two way street. That’s the top 5 – Do Your Own Research, and stay happy while investing! 📊
