Markets are down, but we're building for 2026 and beyond
Reminder that if you hold any of the previous appcoins we've launched under our studio, you are eligible to exchange them for $SPOTLIGHT which is our core hub token going forward

Yes, finalizing the contracts for Flow, our CCA-powered capital markets platform this week
Firmly believe that bonding curve launches will fall out of favor in 2026. They are a solved game
Some people say the draw of CCA is that it make launches more "fair"
I think it's more that it dimensionalizes capital origination, meaning it opens up new strategies for gaining edge. It's not just the same few script junkies running light variations of the same strategy

Just published a preview version of Flow, our next gen capital markets platform powered by Uniswap's new CCA contracts
Wrote up a piece on the vision and what's to come, including a link to the app, which you can use to participate in the ongoing Aztec token auction

no liquidity, no allocations, just $thanks 🙏 🙏
just reply thanks to this cast to receive some
sending $thanks in honor of the holiday and in appreciation of the community
mint is open for 24 hours
everyone who replies receives the same amount. no tokens have been pre-minted and no liquidity pool has been set up.
if you follow me and your neynar score is at least 0.9, @spotlight bot will respond to your thanks with a token mint
if you want to acquire some, you should respond to this cast or ask a friend who minted to send you some
will be afk for big chunks of today. if it breaks, it breaks
happy thanksgiving

> people are just jealous that the snipers made money and they didn't
sure, maybe some people. but the real problem is that bonding curve launches are effectively a solved game and if we keep on this path, people are going to stop playing completely
they already are
the idea that a ~$1.5m tax to purely extractive actors is "just part of the game" is preposterous
people need to be able to make money in markets, which means people will inevitably lose money
but if the surface space for finding edge is confined to a highly technical set operating black box strategies, we no longer have anything worthy to sell
no i'm not just complaining. yes, i'm building a better model. no, i don't know if it will work but it's genuinely a different approach and not just a regurgitation of the same primitive
