Internet Capital Market is Real - Phase Two The previous article briefly introduced the stock section of the Solana panorama chart shared by @0xMert_. Overall, most of the projects are familiar to everyone. Today, I want to continue from the last article and write about Private Credit, which has many Hidden Gems in this section. Link to the previous article: Without further ado, let's get started. First contender: @apolloglobal In simple terms, Apollo is an asset management company focused on asset management, asset providers, wealth management, and pensions, founded in 1990, with AUM of around $700 billion. Specifically, Apollo's main focus is on: 1 - Helping companies with financing 2 - Engaging in credit, equity, and real asset investments 3 - Providing asset protection services through Athene, its pension company Currently, Apollo has realized the securitized credit fund ACRED (Apollo Diversified Credit Securitize Fund) through @Solana and @KaminoFinance. The underlying assets of ACRED include direct corporate loans and asset-backed loans. Second contender: @hamilton_lan Hamilton Lane is also an asset management company, currently managing around $900 billion, established in 1989. They started engaging in credit investments in 2000. Their investment scope is quite diverse, including real estate, infrastructure, and private equity. Hamilton Lane is the first asset management company to issue a tokenized fund SCOPE (Senior Credit Opportunities Fund) on Solana. Currently, this tokenized fund: 1 - Allows retail investors to invest in private companies with a minimum of $10K (traditional minimum requirement is $250K) 2 - Is issued based on @librecap and belongs to Hamilton Lane's Feeder Fund 3 - Has already raised $700 million for SCOPE Third contender: @Credix_finance Credix is a B2B credit platform based on Solana, aiming to provide more efficient and faster credit. The business cases provided on the website include: 1 - Helping Praso achieve a 70% increase in conversion rates by providing faster user credit payments 2 - Assisting Allied in achieving a 10% increase in B2B transaction volume 3 - Helping Volvo Truck reduce the time required for underwriting services from 48 hours to 5 minutes. At the same time, Credix also offers B2B payment services and a seller management platform. This part also includes corresponding API/SDK. According to data from 2022, Credix achieved $25 million in loans for small and medium-sized enterprises in Brazil, all completed based on @Solana. Fourth contender: @maplefinance This one is a relatively OG DeFi product, with a business scope that includes: 1 - On-chain lending/earning 2 - Earning stablecoin products (SyrupUSDC) SyrupUSDC is a core product after Maple migrated to Solana, currently yielding around ~6.5%. The implementation of this technology is supported by Chainlink's CCIP protocol. The main purpose of the migration is due to @Solana's: 1 - Faster speed 2 - Stronger compatibility Summary: This section is quite interesting, with many traditional institutions prominently listed. For traditional institutions, the main purpose of using Solana is: 1 - Increasing the possibility of small investments 2 - Raising another round of financing through asset tokenization while testing the waters for securitized tokens For existing DeFi products, the main purposes are: 1 - A faster, more efficient user experience 2 - Allowing instant settlement/verification of credit I hope to update the next article in the next two weeks, focusing on the recently hottest topic, the Money Market, which many people want to share in. Thanks to @Solana_zh for providing the learning materials. This article is supported by the research team of @RealSigmaLabs.

Recently, I've been following the Solar Growth Bootcamp @Solana_zh to learn. The #Crypto industry evolves rapidly and lacks a unified methodology. As a project marketer, it's essential to keep learning and continuously update our understanding. 【Build your brand like a religion, first write your own "Bible"】 Today, @0x_claudia's sharing was very enlightening and just answered a little confusion I've had lately—how can startup projects achieve growth through "Partnerships"? Although I know that co-marketing can bring early user traffic, I used to struggle internally during practice: does the project really have leverage to negotiate partnerships at this early stage? Claudia proposed a key idea: "Expectations" are the most important asset for a startup brand in the cold start phase. 🥂 For Partners: Provide long-term growth potential, such as ecosystem synergy and user sharing, rather than short-term traffic exchanges. 👥 For Users: Establish trust through a clear product vision and substantial collaboration modules. In the past, I always worried about having "insufficient resources" in the early stages, but in fact, the true advantage of a startup is: flexibility + future narrative. Claudia also talked about the 0-1 "cold start logic chain:" The key to cold start is continuous review, finding the growth path that suits you best. 1️⃣ The product itself is the strongest customer acquisition engine; first refine the core value to attract users naturally. 2️⃣ Focus on validating effective channels to the extreme; at the same time, combine key product nodes to design experiences with viral potential, creating explosive points. 3️⃣ It's not about pursuing every breakout, but about precisely hitting the mark, accumulating momentum, and finding the leverage point that suits you best. Build your brand like a religion; first, you need to have your own "Bible"—a clear mission and values, which are the core beliefs of the brand. The task of marketing is to spread this belief, making people excited, resonating with them, and encouraging them to join. The key is to let others feel the real value and help, not just one-way output, but a "selfless" connection. When you convey hope, meaning, and a sense of belonging, you will naturally attract a group of "believers" to help build the brand and establish a truly sticky community. I also organized the SPICER growth model mentioned in class, the new trends in #Instagram+Google SEO, and the methodology of Branding👇
