generating top 7 revenue on solana with recent $420k buyback and burn 33% supply burned, 33% staked out of 3m total the gap is real though. $1m mcap doing better fee numbers than GODL at $4m. ranked #4 in 24h revenue across all solana projects, beating JUP and others fees exceeded fdv 3 days ago. at $450k mcap it had a 254x valuation gap vs Meteora and 44x vs Ore on similar revenue team just cut fees by 50% and redirected to liquidity

$macaron @macaron_bid top 10 fees on $sol after 1 week, below 500k mcap - ponzi of ponzi's? ca: 8UiPofjkbjqTqrymz4VY3wXxMcPjFuyq3Psofekymaca I always liked game mechanism ponzi's that make you think a bit. I saw $ORE and $DONUT, and both seemed to have some drawbacks, read below: Dutch auction-based mining system $DONUT: Focuses on competitive Dutch auctions where users bid SOL to secure mining spots (e.g., "King of the Hill" style territory grabs). This encourages strategy and optimization for profits but suffers from high token inflation due to lacking deflationary mechanisms, leading to unsustainable supply growth over time. A deflationary proof-of-work mining model $ORE: Emphasizes equal-opportunity, luck-based mining (e.g., random block rewards) with strong deflationary tokenomics through burns and buybacks. It's easy to join but lacks depth in strategy, making it feel more like gambling than skilled play. So what happens when you combine both ideas in one? Meet a french invention, the $macaron. $MACARON merges these into a balanced protocol that prioritizes strategic auctions from $DONUT with deflationary sustainability from $ORE, while expanding the model for broader appeal. Mining Mechanics Retains auction-driven "territory grabbing" but adds $ORE-style deflation to curb inflation. Users bid SOL for spots across 4 auction products (e.g., standard mining, boosted variants), blending skill with fair entry—more strategy than pure luck, but without $DONUT's unchecked emissions. Tokenomics Adopts $ORE's deflationary model (automated SOL buybacks and burns every 5-15 minutes) to make rewards sustainable. Total supply is capped efficiently, with staking yielding ~2,000% APY initially. Revenue from auctions (e.g., 1,363 SOL auctioned, 204 SOL revenue early on) funds these mechanics. User Experience Hybrid: Strategic bidding like $DONUT, but with $ORE's ease and sustainability. Includes staking for passive rewards, automated treasury management, and expansions like shields/leaderboards for deeper gameplay. Revenue & Sustainability Combines auction revenue streams with deflationary burns, creating a flywheel: Bid → Mine → Burn/Buyback → Value Up. This fixes $DONUT's inflation and $ORE's lack of strategy for "more revenue, more strategy, sustainable mining." Current Stats I attached images with defilama stats and tbh its already in the top 10 of fees on $sol, will take only small amounts of mindshare to push this in the top 10, it's domino effect at this point. Already number 17 by revenue, the token is only at 300k mcap (lol.) + $macaron is memeable as its french. The reason why ponzi's work now is simple. Revenue of defi/other protocols is low in downturns, and ponzi's can much more easily outperform real protocols by revenue and fees, creating another mindshare domino effect. I still think its early for this ponzi, probably has another few weeks of momentum potential. All depends on the mindshare. Viva la France

Day isn't over yet and $DONUT already made 10k more revenue than $VIRTUAL bringing them to the top 3 revenue protocol on @base. They are almost flipping @AerodromeFi in revenue too (~20k to go) $DONUT at 10% of $VIRTUAL market cap is ~$8.40, and I its easily achievable until EOY. Bet on gamified consumer apps. @Glaze_Corp @farcaster_xyz @base
