$FIL current market cap is ~ 2.7x away from matching its all-time high (11.4b)

FTX ‘dumping’ and yet $SHDW stays remarkably stable. Meaning lots of buy pressure compensating. I’m personally using this as an opportunity to load up more, because, well, guess what happens when FTX is done.
$SHDW TOKENOMICS!
In short:
1. Shared staking to secure the network
2. Staking to be a mobile auditor node
3. Programmed buybacks
4. Increased $SHDW liquidity
5. Reduced $SHDW velocity

How can anyone not love Solana.
Think about how Brave browser exploded in popularity simply bc ppl could earn a few free tokens every month for browsing the internet, an activity they were already going to be doing.
This is how we think about running an Auditor Node and their ability to on-ramp ppl to $SHDW.
A real community project. Where people ACTUALLY help the core team by actively participating. Not some 'moon boy' community chatting about price.

A refresher about the mechanics behind the $SHDW token:
1) Token Utility and Value Accrual:
SHDW is designed such that its value is directly tied to its utility.
Value accrual to the token truly begins when the full utility (i.e. the shdwDrive v2 platform) has been deployed.

TLDR 🗡️
The testnet runs from January 16th, 2024 to April 16th, 2024, distributing 600,000 $SHDW across three categories: shdwOperators, shdwStaking, and shdwPoints.
shdwOperators (300,000 SHDW pool) can earn SHDW by running a shdwNode, contributing storage to shdwDrive, with a

@GenesysGo
DAGGER Testnet node! Is it $SHDW incentivized? Not yet. Is it worth it then? Hell yeah - you get to see the power of DAGGER yourself before anyone else, without having to 'trust the team'.
The D.A.G.G.E.R. Testnet moves forward as we drop binaries for ANYONE to connect to the network and become a $SHDW Operator who contributes storage to the network!
In the docs ⬆️you'll find everything you need in order to spin up a D.A.G.G.E.R. Wield node
$SHDW tokenomics make sure all stakeholders are incentivized & benefit accordingly :
- the operators get rewarded in SHDW
- the slashing mechanism secures the network
- the holders can stake SHDW and support operators
- the users directly finance the operators
- the users
As the

team continues moving forward with the D.A.G.G.E.R. Testnet and the upcoming migration to shdwDrive v2, we've seen an influx of new members to the community.

Your helicopter, sure. Property, sure. If you gonna lie, at least be smart about it. You’re basically doing a random tourist tour.
You’re really sad man.
Can I just say... the fact that there are 107 independent operators running $SHDW nodes for D.A.G.G.E.R.'s unincentivized testnet is absolutely blowing my mind... 🤯
Imagine what Mainnet could look like with both rewards and revenue share in place...
Imagine a world where highly liquid markets for forex, stocks, RWAs, all crypto assets (wrapped or native), commodities ALL sit in one single state machine, and you can transact across all of them in a single atomic txn taking 1 sec & $0.002.
Coming your way on Solana x Jupiter
Testing its performance on my phone:
DAGGER is quicker than Google Drive! Despite the fact that, unlike on GDrive, the 100mb file was shredded into pieces and erasure coded so the shreds can be stored across independent nodes. Pretty sick!
