Crypto journalist Laura Shin just shared an exciting update on X about today's Unchained On Air livestream, and it's a must-watch for anyone in the blockchain space, especially if you're into meme tokens. The lineup features three back-to-back sessions tackling some of the hottest topics in crypto right now. Whether you're trading memes on DEXes or eyeing up-and-coming chains like Berachain, these discussions could give you the edge you need.

Kicking off at 11am ET, Andy Guzman (@AndyGuzmanEth) and Oskar Thorén (@oskarth) join the Unchained podcast to explore "Inside Ethereum's Privacy Cluster." Privacy on Ethereum is a big deal because blockchains are public by default—anyone can see your transactions. But with tools like zero-knowledge proofs (ZK tech, which lets you prove something without revealing details), projects are building ways to keep things private. For meme token traders, this means safer launches and trades without exposing your wallet to snoopers or attackers.

Next, at 12pm ET, tune into DEX in the City with hosts Kristin Kirkpatrick (@kkirkbos), Jessi Brooks (@Jessi_Brooks1), and TuongVy Le (@TuongvyLe12). They'll break down "Insider Trading vs Front Running." Front running happens when someone (often a bot) sees your trade in the mempool—the waiting area for transactions—and jumps in ahead to profit at your expense. It's like cutting in line at a coffee shop, but with real money on the line. Insider trading, on the other hand, involves using non-public info for unfair gains. This session is super relevant for meme coins, which often pump on DEXes like Uniswap, where front running can rug new launches or snipe cheap tokens.

The highlight for meme fans comes at 1pm ET on Bits + Bips, where Steven Ehrlich (@Steven_Ehrlich) and Knave (@whosknave) discuss "Berachain's Secret Investor Refund Right." Berachain, the bear-themed layer-1 blockchain that's buzzing in the meme community with its proof-of-liquidity model and tokens like BERA and HONEY, recently made headlines. According to a report from Unchained, the project quietly gave lead investor Brevan Howard's Nova fund a $25 million refund option on its Series B investment, valid for up to a year after the token launch. This clause, which Berachain disputes in its framing, could allow the fund to pull out if BERA underperforms. For retail meme token holders, this raises questions about fairness—do big VCs get special protections while everyday traders bear the risk? It's a timely look at how behind-the-scenes deals can impact token ecosystems.

You can catch the whole thing live on X, YouTube, PumpFun, or Twitch. If you're building or trading in the meme token world, these insights could help you navigate privacy pitfalls, avoid front-running losses, and understand the dynamics in projects like Berachain. Check out the original tweet from Laura Shin for more details, and stay tuned to Meme Insider for more breakdowns on how these trends shape the meme coin landscape.
