Luminaries – new memecoin project from the Solana team?
Luminaries appears to be a newly created handle (joined in September 2025) tied to the Solana ecosystem, with a bio reading "internet capital memes." Despite having no posts yet, it's already generating significant buzz in the crypto community. The profile's header image features Mert Mumtaz (known as @0xMert_, a prominent Solana developer and head of Helius Labs, a key Solana infrastructure firm backed by investors like Founders Fund and Solana Ventures).
This visual cue, combined with Solana's official follow and a verified Solana badge, has sparked speculation that it's an official or semi-official Solana initiative aimed at amplifying Solana memes and internet culture—essentially positioning Solana as the go-to chain for meme-driven narratives.
Not much information beyond that, and the project’s token hasn’t launched yet.
Nico - prominent Ethereum dev launching privacy features for Ethereum
Nico is a prominent figure in the Ethereum ecosystem. He's a researcher and protocol coordinator deeply embedded in the Ethereum Foundation (EF). His work spans cryptography, privacy tech, and open-source tooling, with a philosophy rooted in making decentralized systems accessible and secure for everyone—not just elites.
As of October 10, 2025, Nico’s account is surging in crypto conversations primarily due to his central role in announcing Kohaku, a groundbreaking Ethereum Foundation (EF) project for privacy-enhanced wallets.
What is Kohaku? It's an open-source SDK (software development kit) and reference wallet implementation designed to make Ethereum wallets more private and secure by default.
1/ It’s time for us to go public so you all can go private, and it’s time for us to be bold so you all can be safe.
As part of our work with the @ethereumfndn, @VitalikButerin and I are proud to be the faces of Kohaku. 🧵👇

Veil.Cash – privacy protocol on Base
Veil.Cash is a privacy-focused protocol built on the Base blockchain. It leverages zero-knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Arguments of Knowledge (zk-SNARKs) to enable private transactions, shielding users' financial data from on-chain visibility. Think of it as a "digital cash" layer for DeFi: users can deposit assets into privacy pools, mix them anonymously, and withdraw without revealing origins, amounts, or recipients.
The project positions itself as "Privacy is normal. Privacy is for everyone. Base is Ethereum," aligning with broader Ethereum ecosystem goals. It's backed by Coinbase Ventures, adding credibility in a space wary of regulatory scrutiny.
Veil.Cash exploded into the spotlight today (Oct 10, 2025), with $VEIL surging 242% in 24 hours amid a broader "privacy season" narrative.
found something 👀 was gonna tweet this later but its pumping and I wouldn't want my followers to miss out
@Veildotcash is a privacy protocol funded by the @base ecosystem fund
seems like a well built platform, and at $10m FDV i think its an absolute steal

Animus – Creating souls for sovereign autonomous machines.
Animus is an open-source framework designed to give autonomous machines and robots a "persistent soul" through blockchain integration. It combines AI, robotics, and on-chain infrastructure to enable embodied intelligence—meaning AI agents that aren't just digital chatbots but can interact with the physical world via sensors, memory, personality, and actions. Built on the BNB Chain (Binance Smart Chain), it focuses on creating sovereign, transparent systems where machines have identity, persistence, and economic incentives tied to the $ANIMUS token.
Animus is surging right now thanks to a perfect mix of narrative hype, strong technical delivery, and market momentum on BNB Chain. $ANIMUS launched recently and has already climbed +838% in the past 24 hours, reaching a new all-time high. For those interested in the intersection of robotics and crypto, this could be a project worth a deeper look.

At the intersection of AI, robotics & decentralization, a new open-source project called Animus is emerging.
Its goal: to give digital agents memory, emotion & continuity of self turning ordinary— queady (@queady)
