I've got some hard news to share - I'm stepping down from @GoFundMemes. I can't give the $GFM community my all right now, and I don’t want to stand in the way of it. We launched on Jan 23 with one goal: Build a community-owned launchpad where 100% of fees go back to the Solana ecosystem. No VCs. No insiders. Just a protocol for the people. And somehow, we actually pulled it off… at least for a while. We generated over $1M in fees and lit a fire under the ecosystem to take back the value. But we quickly ran into a hard truth: Without support from trading terminals like Photon, BullX etc. new launchpads couldn’t compete no matter how good the idea. So we fought to change that. We made noise. We built. We rallied. And eventually, the message got through. @RaydiumProtocol and @MeteoraAG started building their own bonding curves with equal distribution. The playing field began to shift. I genuinely believe GFM helped force that change. We sparked the conversation and nudged the big players to move. That’s something I’ll always be proud of. We also made some big mistakes: At $120M market cap, we didn’t sell a single treasury token. Instead, we staked most of it, thinking the revenue would fund operations. A noble idea, but in hindsight, a terrible move. Launchpads are capital-intensive. You need liquidity to chase momentum. You need whales, firepower, and cash to fuel the flywheel. We had vision and values - but not the war chest. Massive shoutout to @bonk_fun and @SolportTom for showing how powerful it is to give back to the ecosystem. Thank you to all the partners who believed in us, and especially @The__Solstice who backed us hard when $GFM meant nothing. He put his own capital and time on the line. He’s one of the best bag workers in the game and not enough people give him credit. He'll go all in for a project he believes in, even if it ends up costing him. And finally to the $GFM community: Thank you for letting me be part of something so raw, experimental, and unforgettable. The memes aren’t done. The mission’s not over. Just my chapter is.

Greg gets it

$15,000+ in fees in last hour on @GoFundMemes $15,000+ reinjected into the meme economy 🤝

Did a GFM runner just spawn? Deploying capital

We're shipping 2 important products next: - Referral System (Traders getting paid) - Total control of supply of bonding curves (To give you max creative freedom) What do you think is missing on @GoFundMemes?

It’s been tough watching competitors outpace us, no doubt. But it pushed us to pause, listen to our community, and refocus on what truly matters. We’re doubling down on what works and letting go of what doesn’t.

Spoke to top teams this weekend building amazing projects all planning to launch tokens soon. They're more interested in fair launches and alpha vaults, despite trading bots affecting discoverability. Shows confidence in their projects. Accelerate.

$GFM stakers earned $7,140 today and GFM traders got $6,000 in incentives. Week just starting and we off to a banger 🤝

Do not fade @MeteoraAG in the race for launchpad market share. It's the biggest DEX on Solana that hasn't had their TGE... yet.

New launchpad meta is in full swing and I'm proud to have been an early part of what's unfolding. Also bullish to see strong teams step into the arena to help show that keeping fees within the ecosystem isn’t just smart but the obvious next move. GFM is coming for the 👑
