Meme Insider
Hey there, crypto enthusiasts! If you're knee-deep in the world of Solana and its vibrant meme token scene, you've got to keep an eye on the Solana Oriental 2025 event happening in Seoul. Recently, Fragmetric dropped a tweet announcing Panel #3, which dives into building crypto in Asia. This panel brings together some heavy hitters from the Solana ecosystem to share lessons and perspectives on navigating the Asian market. But it's not just talk— these discussions could have real implications for meme tokens, given Solana's dominance in that space.
Panel #3: Building Crypto in Asia - Lessons and Perspectives
This panel, moderated by Chaerin Kim (aka @decentra1ized_) from the Solana Foundation's APAC team, features founders and leaders from projects deeply embedded in Asia's crypto landscape. Here's a quick rundown:
Jesse (@0xF812), Co-founder of Sanctum (@sanctumso): Sanctum is all about liquid staking on Solana, letting users stake their SOL while keeping it liquid for other uses like trading or lending. For meme token traders, this means more flexibility—imagine staking your SOL and still using it to chase the next hot meme without missing out on yields.
Kash Dhanda (@kashdhanda), Cat-herder & COO of Jupiter (@JupiterExchange): Jupiter is one of Solana's top decentralized exchanges (DEXs), aggregating liquidity for seamless swaps. It's a go-to spot for meme token launches and trades, where low fees and high speed make it perfect for the fast-paced meme world. Kash will likely share insights on scaling DeFi in Asia, which could mean better tools for meme communities.
Chris (@Chrizhuu), Co-founder & CEO of Sonic (@SonicSVM): Sonic is building on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) to create hyper-efficient layers for gaming and high-throughput apps. While not directly meme-focused, improved infrastructure like this could enable more complex meme-related games or social tokens, expanding the playground for creators in Asia.
Ryot (@gmryot), Co-founder of Xitadel (@xitadel_fi): Xitadel specializes in liquid restaking on Solana, allowing users to restake their assets for extra rewards. This boosts capital efficiency, which is huge for meme token ecosystems where liquidity is king. More efficient staking means more capital flowing into memes.
The event is set for September 22, 2025, at the Mondrian Hotel in Itaewon, Seoul, running from 2 PM to midnight. It's co-hosted by Fragmetric and the Solana Foundation, promising a mix of conference sessions and a networking party.
Connecting the Dots to Meme Tokens
Solana has become the hub for meme tokens thanks to its speed, low costs, and community-driven vibe. Events like Solana Oriental aren't just networking gigs—they're where ideas spark that lead to better tools and infrastructure. For instance, advancements in liquid staking from Sanctum or restaking from Xitadel free up capital that can pour into meme launches. Jupiter's DEX is already a meme trading powerhouse, and insights from Asia could help tailor these tools for regional trends, like K-pop inspired memes or anime-themed tokens popular in Japan and Korea.
Plus, with Asia being a massive growth area for crypto adoption, lessons from this panel could highlight regulatory hurdles, cultural nuances, and market opportunities that directly impact meme token volatility and innovation.
Other Highlights from Solana Oriental
This isn't the only panel heating things up. Check out the others announced by Fragmetric:
Panel #1: Unpacking IBRL - Pushing Solana Performance Limits
Featuring @magicdhz, @redbeard, @CryptoIRGuy, and @FragChad. IBRL stands for Increased Bandwidth, Reduced Latency—a key focus for optimizing Solana nodes. Better performance means faster transactions, which is a game-changer for meme token snipers and high-frequency traders. In a world where memes can pump or dump in seconds, this could reduce network congestion during hype cycles.
Panel #2: Internet Capital Markets - Accelerating Solana DeFi
With @cheryldchan from Kamino Finance, @seanhu001 from RateX Dex, @LynnWWins from Saros, and @sangdotsol from Fragmetric, moderated by @peppercrunch_ from KAST. This one's about evolving Solana's DeFi landscape, which underpins meme token liquidity pools and yield farming strategies.
