Sonic has its own native dollar.
$USSD is a permissionless, treasury-backed stablecoin designed to become the core liquidity layer of the network.
This is the kind of primitive DeFi builders wait for.
On DeFive we’re opening routes for:
→ USSD/S
→ USSD/USDC

In times like these, every voice that keeps building matters more. Proud to see the community continuing to create and share.
Tune in to the new FiveCast episode by @Cello_Sonic, @0xMatG, @iKILZ80 and catch up on the conversation 👇
$FIVE $S
Web3 promised decentralization, yet creation, value, and growth are still gatekept.
What if building didn’t require code?
What if value came from real usage?
What if growth could emerge organically from the network?
In this episode of the FiveCast, we explore a future that’s no longer hypothetical,
already unfolding on @SonicLabs,
through the synergy of #Spawn, #FeeM, and @0xDeFive,
Closing the loop from creation to sustainable economics
🎧 Listen to hear how real decentralization is moving beyond infrastructure to unlock opportunity.

Sonic building Spawn → prompt-to-dApp infrastructure.
DeFive building Burn-to-Fun → frictionless token + community launch.
Creation layer + coordination layer.
That’s not random. That’s an ecosystem forming.

DeFive’s #BurnToFun isn’t just another meme launchpad, it filters signal from noise.
Dual curation (projects + users) burned LP from day one, and native DeFi utility make launches stronger and safer.
Built on @SonicLabs , turning memes into lasting ecosystems, not fleeting hype
What is #BurnToFun?
BurnToFun is a meme launchpad that fixes the core problems of the meme space, a design that becomes even more critical as we approach a bull market, where hype and capital flow can either build lasting value or get lost in chaos.
It applies two layers of filtering:
1️⃣ Project-level
In meme economics, the meme is the product, so narrative matters. Only culturally/narratively strong, high-potential, low-cap memes pass.
2️⃣ User-level
Early/private access is veFIVE-gated, earned by locking $FIVE (& burning it to mint memes)
As bots and whales almost always rush into the earliest phases, this creates a natural anti-bot, anti-whale filter that only lets committed participants into the most valuable stages.
At launch:
✅the initial guaranteed LP is permanently burned, stronger than a lock, making it rug-proof from day one.
✅Each project immediately plugs into DeFive’s DeFi stack (liquidity, farming, staking) so it can survive and grow.
🔹Launches are frequent but curated;
keeping momentum high while maintaining quality, this not only avoids adding to dilution, it actively reduces it, by concentrating liquidity and attention on a select set of high-quality projects instead of scattering them across countless low-quality tokens. As we approach a bull market, this focus amplifies impact: capital and community momentum cycle back into the curated set, creating a self-reinforcing effect where each successful launch strengthens the ecosystem for the next.
🔹Outcomes? A Four-Way Win
#Sonic: A network filled with high quality, noise-free meme projects.
#DeFive: Stronger FIVE tokenomics, becoming core infrastructure and a mark of credibility.
#Users: Credible opportunities to maximize gains, especially in the upcoming bull market.
#Projects: Visibility and survival tools for creative, culturally strong teams.
BurnToFun doesn’t just launch memes, it curates, protects, and powers them to last.

While other chains are drowning in noise, #BurnToFun is curating the next generation of high-potential memes on @SonicLabs .
With veFIVE-gating and permanent LP burns, @0xDeFive is building a fortress for real users, not whales or snipers.
Get ready, Sonic Labs is about to get loud. 🔥

We are no longer in the era of “build it and they will come” especially in a market oversaturated with new products.
Labs is a prime example: strong technical foundations, but everything else poorly managed, (abused and neglected by the very team who are now behind the FT raise). Now even @AndreCronjeTech (the former CTO) has openly stated that the tech lacks key features and isn’t up to par for FT to deploy there. Who wouldve thought it would be Andre that would hammer the last nail! Wild!
Yet once again, Andre is building and expecting users to come purely because of the tech. The arrogance is insane.
When you actively dismiss your community, and go as far as blocking long-term supporters for asking legitimate questions about the state of your previous projects (and builders for no apparent reason), you destroy trust. And without trust, people won’t commit meaningful capital. At best they’ll throw in small amounts and treat it like a shyt coin play with zero long-term conviction.
Time and time again, the power of community is underestimated. But communities move markets. When enough people collectively choose not to support something, no amount of technical brilliance can compensate. especially if your late to the party.

$S @SonicLabs tech stack is generations ahead of chains like $SEI and $SUI..and its going to get better
If you keep a watch on Sonic's github..u know what is coming next.
FIVE Intern retweeted
the surgery $S should’ve had a long time ago. patiently waiting for what comes next.
This is correct.
We’re doing a real reset at Sonic. Not surface-level changes, a full internal restructuring from the inside out. Leadership, strategy, BD, comms, marketing, community, and how we operate day to day.
This stuff takes time. We’re going through the business issue by issue and fixing things properly, not rushing it or papering over what needs work.
When this is done, Sonic will look very different from what it was before I stepped in.

🚨The Pump.fun Case Isn’t About Pump.fun
It’s About the End of Casino Launchpads
For years, launchpads hid behind the idea of “neutral infrastructure.”
Now, courts are beginning to challenge that assumption.
When a launchpad is accused of insider coordination, early privileged access, validator-level frontrunning, and systematic retail extraction, the issue is not poor execution.
It’s design.
Pump.fun is not under scrutiny solely because of alleged human coordination;
but because its system design neither prevents such behavior
nor provides effective safeguards against its recurrence.
At this point the discussion moves beyond individual actions and into system design.
This Is Where #BurnToFun Begins
BurnToFun is not “a better Pump.fun.”
It is an answer to a more fundamental question:
If launchpads aren’t neutral, how should they be designed?
BurnToFun’s answer is clear:
filtering over speed,
alignment over extraction,
and survivability over exit.
🔹Structural Differences, Not Marketing Claims
1️⃣ Early Access Is Earned
Early participation is veFIVE-gated.
Capital alone is insufficient, commitment is required.
Bots and whales lose their structural advantage by design.
2️⃣ Liquidity Is Irreversible
The initial LP is permanently burned.
Not locked. Not promised.
Burned.
3️⃣ Launch Is Not the Finish Line
Every project immediately integrates into @0xDeFive ’s DeFi stack:
liquidity, farming, staking.
Projects don’t end at launch, they compound.
4️⃣ Curation Over Dilution
Fewer launches. Higher signal.
Liquidity and attention are concentrated, not scattered.
🔹The Real Contrast
Casino launchpads:
Attention → Velocity → Extraction
BurnToFun:
Filtering → Alignment → Ecosystem Flywheel
One drains users.
The other recycles capital, community, and credibility.
🔹Why This Matters Now
The Pump.fun case may set a precedent:
launchpads and even infrastructure are not neutral actors.
If that holds, the next generation of launchpads must be:
selective,
accountable,
and structurally anti-extractive.
BurnToFun was built with that assumption from day one.
BurnToFun doesn’t launch memes.
It builds meme economies.
This is precisely the kind of model that can take @SonicLabs to an entirely new level:
a model that leverages memes to naturally attract users and attention to the network, while simultaneously transforming those inflows, through system design, into sustained participation, higher-quality onchain activity, and long-term commitment.
In this structure, the objective is not merely user acquisition, but user retention—retention that is embedded into the system itself.
This approach is fully aligned with what @MitchellDemeter has emphasized: that a network’s real advantage lies in its ability to attract and retain users by creating environments where people stay, build, and become part of something, rather than simply enter and exit.
Legal battle over SOL insider trading enters next round
⚠️If you lost money on Solana memecoins this year, you weren't unlucky, you may have been targeted!
Judge grants Pumpfun plaintiffs permission to file second appeal
• Plaintiffs claim they received over 5000 incriminating chat logs from an informant proving coordination between Pumpfun staff, Solana Labs engineers, and Jito execs
• Allegations:
→ Rigged launches gave insiders priority access via Solana validators and Jito's transaction ordering tools to frontrun retail, buy at floor, pump via bonding curve, then dump
• Platform called a "digital slot machine" that drained $5.5B from users, with 99% losing everything while Pumpfun pocketed hundreds of millions
Claims escalated from basic securities violations to racketeering
This could set precedent that infrastructure providers (Solana Labs, Jito) are not neutral actors and can be held liable for onchain activity. It could force all launchpads to operate like regulated exchanges.
Timeline:
• Second revision with even more evidence/allegations on Dec 19
• Motions to dismiss on Jan 23
• The battle will continue until Feb 2026
