yesterday i received a small portion of $virgen, thanks to the collab between @KaitoAI + @virtuals_io.
after noticing a new token in my Rabby with a sweet price, i took a moment to check it out, suspecting a scam.
i followed the link from Rabby - that’s where the trap began.
after digging a bit, i realized:
> scam starts with visiting a fake site > fake site can show anything > often it’s a fake cloudflare screen > easier than copying the whole site > tomorrow it could be a fake captcha > this isn’t a new scam method > real sites don’t show fake overlays > cloudflare wasn’t hacked, everything’s fine > always check the link first > use virustotal to scan the site
this was my first time seeing something like this - but i always try to stay alert. luckily, i’ve managed to avoid getting hacked all these years

when infra meets product and scale, it looks like @soon_svm.
SOON introduced a system that channels user attention into structured, on-chain flow. at the core is a decoupled SVM - not a Solana fork, but a clean implementation.
it supports horizontal scaling, integrates Firedancer, and runs with native gas on each chain.
on Base, soonBase uses EigenDA for data and settles back to ETH. on BNB, svmBNB crossed 22M txs in its first 30 days.
why pay attention to SOON now?
> @cz_binance retweeted their chain launch. > @aeyakovenko + @jessepollak acknowledged the stack. > Binance Alpha listed SOON: https://t.co/VUHmWz8mAt > OKX selected SOON for its second-ever IDO: https://t.co/ulx3SR4dNg
and with new zk fraud-proof integration via Boundless, SOON aims to cut rollup finality from 7 days to ~3 hours.
each layer is functional. tech leads into liquidity. liquidity leads into apps.
what does it all enable?
one of them is simpfor(dot)fun - a native SOON product. watch a trader live > copy with a click. streamers earn + viewers gain access + everything tracked on-chain.
working system where performance, adoption, and incentive are aligned by design.
so smart way to unite communities without splitting ecosystems. happy to see such stuff.
