I'd say try checking out Jumper, they have multiple routes from Base -> SOL and is fast

U can deposit SOL in Kamino for 5% APR. then borrow USDC against it at some LTV, and then LP into SOL/USDC on raydium / meteora etc.. (or can do CARDS/USDC - they have higher APRs but u will have cards exposure).
this way you earn borrow APR + trading fees etc.. best if you put together some bot to manage your positions etc

Been doing a lot of cross-chain swaps lately (BTC to ETH, XMR to BTC, etc.) and got tired of manually checking rates across different protocols every time. Wanted to share what I learned in case it's useful to others here.
**The four main non-custodial options right now:**
**THORChain** — Most mature, deepest liquidity for BTC/ETH/major pairs. Fees are usually 0.1-0.3% but can spike on volatile pairs. Occasionally pauses trading for maintenance.
**Chainflip** — Faster settlement than THORChain in my testing, competitive rates especially for BTC/ETH/SOL. Newer so liquidity is thinner on less common pairs.
**NEAR Intents** — Intent-based architecture, surprised me with good rates on XRP and stablecoin pairs. Settlement felt fast.
**ChangeNOW** — Best coverage for long-tail assets (TAO, HYPE, etc.) that the decentralized protocols don't support yet, but it's more centralized in nature.
**Key takeaway:** no single protocol is consistently cheapest. The "best rate" shifts depending on the pair, amount, and time of day. For swaps over $500 I saw rate differences of 1-3% between providers on the same pair, which adds up.
I ended up building a small tool (called TokensFund, you can search for it if curious) that pulls quotes from all four side by side so I don't have to manually check each one. Mentioning it for transparency since I'm obviously biased, but the comparison data itself is the useful part even if you check rates manually elsewhere.
Curious if others have noticed the same rate variance, or have found other non-custodial protocols worth comparing. Always looking to add more sources.

its kinda sad that a lot of SOL holders are rotating their bags into HYPE now.
sad for them i mean, for us its cheaper SOL to hold onto.

Here we go again
I bought buncha SOL in 2022 for 50$, sold it 180$ in 2023
Now getting again in it

Let me preface this by saying I think RWAs are truly revolutionary, and bridging the global financial system together to allow people in developing nations to purchase treasury bonds and stocks in stronger economies is truly a remarkable technological development, and has become a discovery of mine that has made me understand that crypto truly does have use.
However, after digging deeper into tokenomics, I am extremely confused by the market valuations of XRP and XLM. With other coins like ETH, TRX, and SOL. I can understand that they have somewhat reasonable multipliers due to the fact that they generate billions in revenue annually.
But I can’t quite wrap my mind around how XRP is worth 70 billion, and XLM is 7 billion, when these coins would need to generate trillions of transactions daily to generate fees that could even be considered substantial.
Is there anyone that understands these projects better that has some knowledge that opposes this? Or are these coins really that grossly speculative and overpriced?

Haha nice. Bdw why aren’t you using any high yield APR pool etc to loop through for this?
\- ideally can deposit some SOL in a lending platform (earns supply APR), borrow against it and use that to provide liquidity in high APR pools (Meteora?). Have some bot manage your positions (preventing liquidations, looping through etc)
It’s mostly safe as long as you have a bot micro managing for you and returns can be really good

SOL and HYPE are exactly the same price now lol

Chainlink and SOL

Why would you have chosen to trade SOL in 2021? This test is probably filled with survivorship bias. Secondly if you had just bought and held it you would have made close to 5000% return

I’ve been reading a lot of mixed posts about BTC and crypto recently. i’m stuck on whether to invest into it and if so, when to? I’m not looking to put in a lot maybe around £1-2K but i’m worried I won’t have a lot of return compared to alt coins.
I’m in it for the long run but if I invest that much, where could my money be in a few years? I read somewhere that BTC will come down in Oct/Nov so would that be a good time to buy? Also, is ETH even worth buying?
And for the SHORT TERM: I’ve heard good things about JASMY, TAO, XAUT … Are we expecting any of these to go up in the next few years? I currently hold XAUT and SOL.
What are your guys opinions based on the market and trends? What could make me some good money in the next few years. I need a way out. Thanks for any help.

Bought big bags of HYPE at $30-40! Been buying SOL, ONDO & TOA on every red day I see😎

Someone used Chainflip Swap to convert USDC to SOL and the SOL was deposited into the receiving wallet.
So I tried to look on Solscan by putting the receiving wallet address in the search.
It then shows some address sent SOL to the receiving address. It says this is a System Program so must be Chainflip.
Now is it possible to find the first wallet address that funded the Chainflip Swap with the USDC or is this not possible?

What? You know Echeck isn't a check right? Echeck is ACH and it's basically instant, read the T&S, they give you 7 days for physical payments. He mailed a check, it's an antiquated payment method and if it took him a day or 2 to mail it, then a few days in the mail and then sat in their mailbox for a few days, he's SOL.

Honestly your current approach already sounds closer to “responsible long-term allocation” than most people in crypto.
The main thing I’d be careful about is changing it just for “tidying it up” rather than because your thesis on any of those assets has changed.
A few thoughts:
* BTC heavy + ETH + some privacy exposure (XMR/ZEC) already gives you diversification across different narratives
* SOL/BNB are more ecosystem / platform bets, so swapping into them is less about simplification and more about shifting conviction
* “Set and forget” only works if you’re actually comfortable holding through full cycles without reacting to short-term sentiment
If anything, the bigger question is not “should I condense” but “do I still believe each of these has a reason to exist in my portfolio 5–10 years from now?”
If yes, there’s not a strong need to optimize it further.

Categorical questions need categorical answers. AI chats are quite good for this.
Your family just need a US CEX account to onramp and you use a Dubai CEX to receive USDT and off ramp.

Dubai has built one of the most robust, clear regulatory environments for crypto globally. Dubai nationals and residents have access to several world-class Centralized Exchanges (CEXs) that are specifically licensed and compliant under local regulatory bodies like the **Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA)** in Dubai and the **Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA)** in Abu Dhabi (ADGM).
The top CEXs supporting Dubai nationals feature direct local bank integrations and United Arab Emirates Dirham (AED) fiat gateways.
# Top Licensed Exchanges for Dubai Nationals
* **Binance (Binance FZE):** One of the largest options available. Its local entity holds a full Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license from VARA. It offers seamless AED deposits and withdrawals via local bank transfers, credit/debit cards, and peer-to-peer (P2P) trading.
* **OKX (OKX Middle East Fintech FZE):** Fully licensed by VARA, OKX provides a localized trading experience for both retail and institutional traders. It offers competitive trading fees and supports AED fiat channels, including apple pay and local bank rails.
* **Backpack Exchange (Trek Labs Ltd FZE):** A prominent heavily regulated global player holding a VARA license in Dubai. It features a highly transparent architecture utilizing zero-knowledge proofs for its reserves.
* **Rain:** Based natively in the Middle East and regulated under Abu Dhabi's ADGM framework, Rain is highly popular for regional investors. It focuses on top-tier assets (like BTC, ETH, and SOL) with clean, direct AED banking integration.
* [**Crypto.com**](http://Crypto.com) **(Foris DAX):** Also approved under the VARA framework, giving Dubai nationals a premium mobile-first platform to trade with deep institutional-grade security and localized AED support.
# Key Requirements for Onboarding
Because these platforms operate legally inside the UAE, onboarding as a Dubai national will require a standard but strict Know Your Customer (KYC) process. You will typically need to provide:
1. Your **Emirates ID** or Passport.
2. A valid UAE phone number.
3. Proof of residence (such as a utility bill or a bank statement) if you plan to link a local AED bank account for direct fiat funding.

It’s just another shit coin that will probably turn into a pump and dump. SOL is the chain of shitcoins.

The idea that banks, government sites, brokerage accounts hold all the cards and can leave you SOL is disturbing, i agree. I've hardly experienced any outages, but i can agree that these are not ideal. Overall, i think most people are comfortable with the general status of banking and finances, despite the shortcomings. If things really became catastrophic, and all faith in the government backing "the system" was lost, i have a hard time believing that we could smoothly pivot to crypto as the fully functioning replacement in society - things would probably get a lot more messy. I just don't see bitcoin as a more reassuring proposition.
>or you need to flee from strife but want to take your cash/gold along. Etc.
The problem i see though is that if you are proposing bitcoin as the store of value to take with you in these times of strife, then it seems to fail at that. In the past year i can see BTC has lost half of its value.
