Here’s a fun tension inside Solana’s leadership: the Foundation’s president thinks meme coins are useful stress tests for the network. The co-founder thinks they’re garbage. Both of them work on the same blockchain. Lily Liu, president of the Solana Foundation, said during a discussion with Fundstrat’s Sean Farrell that meme coins should be understood as a “production test” for the network’s performance, not as a defining feature of the ecosystem. In her framing, every degen-fueled trading frenzy is actually a live fire drill for Solana’s infrastructure. The reframe Solana needed Liu described meme coins as part of a broader spectrum…

Bots now flood ticketing systems within seconds of sales opening, purchasing massive amounts of inventory before real fans ever reach checkout. The result is a resale market that regularly pushes ticket prices far beyond face value. Thirty Seconds to Mars is now partnering with World to try a different approach: reserving tickets exclusively for verified humans. The initiative launches alongside the band’s upcoming A Beautiful Lie vs. This Is War European tour, where select shows across the United Kingdom and Germany…
