Pancakeswap - Enable MEV Protect - What is MEV Protect? Lets Explore...

gungunkrishu — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 04:34:33 GMT

Hey All,

Its not the first time that I am using Pancakeswap DEX [Decntralized Exchange], I have used it in past and at the moment I am building my #WBTC holding on this platform. As mentioned in my earlier post my GOAL is to have 0.1 BTC in my wallet and thankfully Pancakeswap is helping me out in this mission of mine. Refer my earlier post around my strategy to accumulating 0.1 BTC - How My Investment in CAKE toke is Doing - Recent News Around PancakeSwap: Pre-Access Portal Goes Live - Lets Explore.... So coming to the main topic of this post which is - Enable MEV Protect - What is MEV Protect?

Pancakeswap - Enable MEV Protect - What is MEV Protect?

First thing first the MEV protection is ALL FREE and with a click of a button it can be enabled - well its ALL automated. Before we get any further it is imperative to know - What is MEV stands for and what a Sandwich Attack? Well MEV aka (Maximal Extractable Value) refers to the additional profit can earn by reordering or including transactions within a block. And whereas a Sandwich Attack is a type of an MEV attack where an attacker places one transaction before and another transaction after a target transaction. By doing this, the attacker tries to manipulate the asset price and make a profit, while the victim ends up paying more or getting a worse trade.

And now inorder to enable MEV protection ALL for FREE what you need to do is Add the MEV protected endpoint to your wallet. I normally use MetaMask and on it can be done via clicking the button. And just incase if you are using other wallets, the above image section where it mentions "add manually this RPC endpoint to your wallet" that can be followed to enable MEV protection.

I went ahead enabling the MEV Prtection by clicking the button and immediately got the above screen to confirm the transaction and one completed now I am all set with MEV protection enabled for my account. ITs that SIMPLE...so go ahead and enable Maximal Extractable Value for your wallet on the BNB chain...before its too late... We will have to wait and watch but for now this should be it for todays post on - "Pancakeswap - Enable MEV Protect - What is MEV Protect? Lets Explore....." Go CAKE token Go... $5+ COMING SooNNN... cheers

When You Think Long Term And Others Do Not See It

cryptoandcoffee — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 19:42:42 GMT

This came through my X feed yesterday and is definitely something I can relate to and this is all very true. The majority in crypto do not know the meaning of building with a project and tend to move on far too soon. 4 years in crypto is not a long time and was the average length of one crypto cycle so this time period is gone in a flash and is over before you know it.

I have been on HIVE for just on eight and a half years now which is more than double the 4 year period mentioned in this article. Time has flown by and I know the length of time I have spent on HIVE seems long, but it feels like only a few years. When you are enjoying yourself time is irrelevant even though you are growing faster and faster each year due to your stake increasing and what it offers directly impacting that growth.

The advantage of sticking with any crypto for a lengthy period of time may seem boring, but it is a good boring. Understanding the entire eco system opens up more opportunity and knowing how to earn hardly makes it boring. Thousands have joined HIVE and left because they were not prepared to apply themselves as this must be too hard and far more work that they had first envisioned.

Everyone has heard the saying a rolling stone gathers no moss and the same can be said for hopping around in crypto. I think it takes time to learn this through experience and why they say 90% of those in crypto have lost money. This is easy to see when you stand back and reflect on what the majority in crypto are doing by chasing for the quick buck which rarely exists.

When I started out in crypto back in early 2018 the impression everyone had was crypto was a get rich quick scheme. The getting rich part is true but there is nothing quick about it and this involves years of dedication through being consistent. The money is definitely available to those who are prepared to work whether it is HIVE or just a normal staking crypto.

Using compounding as your growth tool everyday you are staked you are earning more which even though is still fractions of a percent it is still growth. Given time as the key ingredient this accumulation process speeds up and how the wealth is slowly created. There is no need to go hunting for trades as most have no idea what they are doing and as we all know nothing is ever guaranteed.

Sometimes it is hard to fathom why HIVE is not more popular than it is and my guess it is a lot of work and effort to become established. When you look at things in real life that hold value the only reason they hold value is they are not easy to obtain. HIVE as a crypto may be cheap in price for what it offers in terms of wealth but like anything else if you accumulate enough the wealth is there.

I believe 4 years is far too short and sway towards a 8-10 year time period to at least give yourself a chance of turning your finances around. Over the last 5 years we have had a rough time of things with the crypto market not playing ball like we had hoped as the market time frame for the crypto cycle did change.

What is going to be interesting to see is how much value will be unlocked when we finally see the proper Bull cycle peak and how much those who stuck with a project will be worth. The length of time is the key and I am optimistic we still have more time left to accumulate more and more until that time comes.

Splinterlands Nullwrought | The anti-melee sneak attacker

mango-juice — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 14:52:09 GMT

Hello my fellow Splinterlands Warriors,

Welcome back to another cool and awesome Splinterlands post, and I hope all of you are doing pretty well in your lives and enjoying another amazing day with your loved ones. Now, for those of you who are actively engaging in this strategy-based Web3 game, I hope you are actively playing in this ongoing ranked and Frontier season as well, while eagerly waiting for the upcoming weekend. As for the current ranked season, we still have 14 days and 1 hour left before it ends, so there is plenty of time to push for higher leagues and improve our rankings. So, whether you are aiming to reach a particular league tier and secure cool rewards, or you are fighting hard to secure a seat in the glorious champion top leaderboard, I wish you all the best and hope you reach it in time.

Now, talking about my own progress in the Frontier mode, as usual, I am currently battling in the highest Gold I league and sitting at around 2620 trophies. My current target is to reach somewhere between 4000 and 4200 trophies before the season ends, so I still have quite a journey ahead of me. Now, moving on to the weekly raffle, I currently have 27 entries, and there are 3 days and 23 hours left before the raffle takes place. My target is still to reach somewhere between 54 and 57 entries before the deadline, so I will continue collecting entries whenever possible.

Today is also my 136th consecutive streak day, and I am gladly protecting my +25% reward bonus until now. I have received another 75 + 19 bonus Sparks today, bringing my total Sparks balance to 19,681. I will keep showing up, hopefully and protect the streak to make the most of the daily wheel rewards.

Today, I also opened 6 reward packs that I had earned from the last two days of rewards. The opening went pretty well, as I received 3 Epic cards, 8 Rare cards, including 3 Archons, 2 Gold Foil Common cards, and the rest were Common cards. Overall, it was a decent opening, and I am always happy to add more cards to my collection.

Nullwrought

Now moving on to today's featured monster, let us take a closer look at another interesting monster from the newest Reward card set. As you have already seen in the title above, today we will be discussing Nullwrought, the anti-melee sneak attacker. So, if you are interested in knowing more about this powerful Death monster and its abilities, then let's take a deep dive without any further ado.

Nullwrought is a monster type card that was first seen in splinterlands with the launch of he latest reward edition card set. This card comes from the Death element and belongs to the Elemental bloodline. It is a Legendary monster, so you would require a total of 11 CC cards to upgrade it to max level. It costs only 6 mana to use in battles, so you can easily fit this card when playing medium to large mana limit matches. This monster possesses melee attack power to deal damage to its opponents. At its maximum level, this monster possesses four abilities, making it an interesting option for players who want to target backline attackers.

BRONZE

At Level 1, Nullwrought possesses 2 Melee attack, 3 Speed, 1 Armor, and 5 Health. Even at the Bronze level, it already comes with two useful abilities, Bloodline Tribute and Sneak, which give it a combination of offensive potential and team support.

Why AI is never going to get Universal Acceptance.

josediccus — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 12:25:30 GMT

people's opinion will always be divided when it comes to whether AI is good or bad, we had the same conversation when crypto became a thing in 2013, it's the same with when every major innovation started taking shape.

One thing is always certain: people will live and die, and the human race will generally evolve through procreation. This is why I think death and tax isn't the only thing that's certain in life, another thing is human evolution, people will always evolve.

Empires will be built, they'll reach a peak, then hit diminishing returns before eventually dying out. There will always be a type of replacement for every sort of human innovation, and sometimes "liking it' is not what everyone will be comfortable with.

The fact that innovative is supposed to be better, faster, cleaner and spell development for the human race isn't exactly a reason for everyone to like it. If evolution was supposed to be better, then history or the preservation of history will honestly not mean anything to anyone.

People will always cling on to what's recognisable, something that feels good and nice, and sometimes, evolution doesn't always come with this.

We had the likes of warren buffet who was a traditional billionaire hate on BTC and crypto entirely, this isn't because he's an all-knowing guy, it's just that the way and manner he made money in a different era feels quite different from the era where money doesn't have to be universally traditional for everyone.

So he didn't dislike crypto because it was a threat to money or because he was a guru, he simply didn't understand it, didn't like it, didn't think it's something that should rival traditional money. I mean he had a lot of money I. Fiat and physical asset, which showed that he was a traditional money man to the core, but it doesn't exactly make him right.

Industries & Replacement

If you look at entertainment at the moment, AI is currently replacing editors, DJs, fashionistas music producers, film makers and so many other things. Whole it's still currently sloppy and not as good, you can definitely read the hand writing on the wall.

AI is trying to automate the process, reduce the time and effort even though it doesn't reduce the cost. In this area, people who learned the craft of traditional film making might hate AI, why?

Because it lets ordinary people who aren't even professionals, produce a level of craft that can even rival what they do and in a very short time. It's the same with when Guns started replacing swords and arrows. One weapon, more collateral damage and in a very short period and quick succession.

Innovations are inevitable

My point is that, there will always be a replacement, and to be honest, no everyone will like it, and we're entitled not to. For example, I don't exactly like how the abuse of AI has reduced opportunities for people.

At the moment, I can categorically analyse how the abuse of AI have stolen money making opportunities for me, but this is it. People will always abuse innovations, because the idea is always to get ahead of your competitors, do better, ship faster and make more money.

People are always looking to abuse whatever edge there are out there, and this is honestly the era we live in.

AI is not the only innovation that will be hated.

I think more human innovations will be hated because it obviously will take away the opportunity from some type of people, give it to some others and even give them more edge, while it seems unfair, it's just generally life.

I've seen the capabilities of AI, and while I can generally not afford it, I think it's safe to say that that edge will keep staying with people who will take out money from other industries and put them into AI, and that's just what it is.

I think this is why everyone should be open minded, except you work a job that requires manual heavy lifting or emotional judgement and presence, it's honestly very important to keep an open mind about AI, and take advantage of it, if you can.

I hyped on HYPE way before the next bull run

behiver — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 09:50:54 GMT

Even if I might a little bit late to the party, I have still joined it and hyped on HYPE. Sometimes when I need to take a decision it takes more time than needed. Why do I say that? Let's remember that Trump made some comments during August 19, 2026, at the Crypto and Technology Summit at the White House: the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chair Mike Selig is working to bring the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid (HYPE) into the United States in a "fully compliant and legal fashion". And my decision to jump on the wagon came after 1.5 months since that, thus I would call it a delayed decision.

Beside Trump creating buzz on HYPE which reacted right after that and saw a jump in price, I knew about this asset (as you've also probably known) for quite a long time. But for some reason it didn't click or maybe I had already quite a bit of tokens in my portfolio that I didn't react on it. I chose to invest into NEAR instead of HYPE and I said it was enough for me. And that wasn't a bad choice as I am pushing 100% ROI on NEAR token. But in the corner of my mind HYPE was still there and had an inception thought planted for me to find at some point. And these days that just happened as I've seen a bit of decrease of the token up to $85 and I told myself that it is not a bad price point considering that we are nowhere in a bull market cycle.

While I haven't done much DYOR about it as I have been following the token for a while and observed its performance in time, I will leave bellow some cons and pros for it. I found them myself a bit surprising and maybe if I knew them before I wouldn't have jumped right now with the investment, but in the same as I plan to HODL long on it, I think the pros will overpower the cons. Nobody can say that for sure, but up until now HYPE has proven its worth.

Cons (The Downside) 👎

Upcoming dilution: Hyperliquid is scheduled to conduct a significant $856 million token unlock on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, primarily releasing team and core contributor supply.
Regulatory target: The platform is currently the center of a major U.S. House oversight about alleged insider trading and a $1.1 billion short position, which could spark sudden regulatory crackdowns.
Volatility risks: Because its buyback mechanism relies entirely on trading volume, a prolonged crypto bear market or a drop in platform activity would instantly diminish the token's buying support.
Centralization realities: Despite its "DeFi" branding, core contributor tokens, foundation budgets and future emissions still dominate the total 1-billion token supply cap, raising holder concentration risks.

Pros (The Upside) 👍

The "Fee Flywheel" buyback: The protocol funnels 97% to 99% of its trading fee revenue directly into continuous, open-market buybacks of HYPE, adding regular buying pressure.
True revenue backed value: Unlike speculative assets, HYPE's value is heavily tied to a functioning business processing over $200 billion in monthly trading volume.
Organic distribution: Launched via a massive user airdrop with zero initial Venture Capital (VC) allocations, reducing early dumping pressure from private institutions.
Deep utility: Serves as the L1 network gas token, offers tiered trading fee discounts (up to 40%) and acts as a mandatory stake for builders wanting to launch new markets.
U.S. expansion potential: High speculative upside remains if the Trump administration successfully allows it to function under the CFTC.

The primary catalyst driving investor hype on hype 😆 is its revenue-backed buyback model: Hyperliquid routes 97% to 99% of its massive trading fee revenue directly into an automated "Assistance Fund". This fund continuously buys HYPE tokens from the open market and permanently burns 🔥🔥🔥 them, heavily reducing the supply based on real platform utility rather than hype. While the Max Supply = 1 Billion tokens, the Total Supply = 955.307 Millions (already 5% decrease from the max supply) just because of that.

Merchants of Mar Toren: Trading Treasures, Forging Alliances, and Defying the Chaos Empire | Splinterlands

luckyali — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 10:40:33 GMT

“Across the dangerous waters of conquered Praetoria, our merchants sail with more than treasures—they carry the quiet spirit of resistance.
Every bargain with the mainland becomes a secret step against the tyranny of the Chaos Empire.
Through trust, hidden alliances, and silent courage, we strengthen the cause of Mar Toren.
For our parliament, our people, and the royal family of Poseidar, we trade not for gold, but for freedom.”

Hey guys, welcome back again. Before I repeat, just visit my last post, which was about The Armored Giant That Rules the Northern Highlands | Splinterlands. The card that I covered in that post is known for its first position, so it is a nice card. Anyway, today I have a ranged attack monster to share with you, and I hope you will like it. First, let's check the stats.

So this is a common water unit and mostly water, known for magic attack monsters, but that does not mean there are no ranged or melee attack monsters. Here you can see I have a 6th-level unit, and that's fine, but here we have to discuss basic level. For basic level, the card has 2 ranged attacks, 1 speed, 0 armor, and 2 health. It has abilities like headwinds and heal, but the heal ability is only available at 10th level. It has 2 ranged attacks, 3 speed, 0 armor, 7 health, and yes, that heal ability, but that 10th level is required.

BATTLE : https://splinterlands.com/battle/sl_4b6237f3f9fb5545bf379c2647f93bde

So here is the battle link; you can enjoy it in your free time. As you can see, the opponent has damn good cards, but I still win with the basic-level cards. So strategy matters a lot. I had heavy magic attack cards, and also my summoner benefits magic attack monsters with extra attacks; that's the strategy.

So, guys, this is the Mar Toren trader, and this is not a new card; I have been holding it for a long time. Enjoy the battle and get the information. Try this card and share your viewpoints below, and do not forget to share this article on social media. So good luck and take care.

My 5 Main Reasons for Exiting My COTI Stake - No DRAMA - Let’s Explore...

gungunkrishu — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 05:13:33 GMT

Hey All,

First of ALL, I want to make it very clear that the reasons I have for exiting the #COTI project is entirely my decision and are based on the articles and different X posts that I have been reading, along with the major changes that have happened within the COTI Foundation. What we have seen so far is that the CEO #Shahaf Bar-Geffen stepping down, alogn with that we saw the existing management stepping down, and the ZK Foundation, led by Robbie Vander Ghinste, coming into the picture and taking over the direction of COTI.

The immdeiate question that comes to my mind why ALL of a sudden these changes when we started to see #COTi making some noise around their technology which is PoD [Privacy on Demand] and their recent news with Avalanche blockchain - COTI Privacy-on-Demand is live on Avalanche . So yeah Why ALL this DRAMA when #COTi PoD has started to shine. I smell something fishy going on and hence finally took the call to exit my #COTi stake...

My 5 Main Reasons for Exiting My COTI Stake - No DRAMA...

As from above image, I have started to move my COTi tokens to Binance where I plan to swap it for CAKE and then move CAKE to Pancakeswap where finally I swap CAKE for #WBTC and get closer to my GOAL of having 0.1 BTC in my BNB wallet. Coming to my TOP 5 reasons for exiting #COTI, they are as follows. I am going to keep them as simple as possible without going into too much detail around each of them, as I see no reason to give an explanation or justification whatsoever. These are MY reasons and MY decision to exit my #COTI stake.

- Reason 1 - COTi team ALL of a sudden stopped the COTi treasury and the rewards around it... First doubt here and they said move your coins to KuCoin exchange to earn staking rewards as its difficult to maintain the staking platform.. How difficult it can be for a team who is building a protocol which bring in PoD [Privacy on Demand] to the blockchains...

- Reason 2 - When everything is working FINE, why make such a BIG change? I mean everything is working FINE — #COTI is getting attention, the recent COTI Privacy-on-Demand is LIVE on Avalanche, and other chains like Ethereum are also in the pipeline then who would want to make such a BIG change across the entire company? Just think about it? Do you guys smell something FISHY here or NOT?

- Reason 3 - Treasury & Wallet Transparency, right now there is are too many unanswered questions around major wallets, token movements, market maker arrangements and who ultimately controls the funds. Majority of the COTi tokens are being dumped on the exchanges and hence the price of COTi is just falling and falling.. Will it come to ZERO? Who knows.. I want to exit and take whatever I can and invest in BITCOIN..

- Reason 4 - NO transperancy in terms of how much was paid to the Foundation, in what different asset, from which address, on which date. Metamask agreement terms there is nothing or no information around this. If ALL is legit then why hide the details? ITs that SIMPLE make the information avaialble to the community..Why HIDE iT?

- Reason 5 - And finally I dont want to wait any further and continue to think that ALL is good when I can clearly see that something is wrong here and I need to ACT now before its too LATe and hence exiting my #COTi stkae for now...

And if #COTI rebounds from here, which I genuinely wish and pray that it does, so that people who are holding their #COTI do not lose their hard earned money, I will be more than happy to see that happen. I am booking my losses and moving ON..with other crypto projects invstment. Well this should be it for todays post on - "My 5 Main Reasons for Exiting My COTI Stake - No DRAMA - Lets Explore... Let’s Explore..." ~~Interested then do yourself a favor to grab some coti and gcoti tokens now before they skyrocket and thank me later....& obviously DYOR~~... No MORE Stay Coti...I will be exiting #COTi SooN... Happy Investing in Crypto Projects... cheers

Have Your Say on COTI APRs - COTi Earn, #COTI, #gCOTI token - HODL Vs SELL?

Did you link your Viper Wallet to MetaMask? Are you invested in #COTI token? Did you know about this bridge on the COTI platform that lets you to transfer your COTI from centralized exchange to a DEX? ~~Are you staking COTI vs gCOTI?~~ Would love to hear your thoughts around it in the comment box below?

Looking at Crypto again, for October.

josediccus — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 11:47:33 GMT

I checked BTC today, and it is comfortably sitting at 83k, over 35% jump from its low of 57k in June. I think October might have more dips than September, just like we did last year.

September last year was not so bad, but the October that followed it was bad. I'm of the opinion that October may have replaced September as a bad month to be a crypto holder, which is a proof of the dynamical change we've been seeing in crypto lately.

A few days back, I boldly said that the four years cycle thingy might no longer be in existence, and this is simply because of the changes we saw in the last cycle. BTC hit its previous ATH before the halving, for the first time ever, In April 2024.

Somehow I felt that signal meant we were going to be pumping harder than 2021, but I was wrong, and by the end of the cycle it only proved that the previous events that happened later would start happening sooner.

This also means that instead of the pump to be directed at one particular quarter of the year, it's going to spread out for 12 to 14 months, instead of just being a "4-months" pump. Also, we have to look at the halving of April 2028.

In my opinion BTC will easy surpass 125k which was the price it topped in the last cycle, in 12 to 14 months time.

So by November/DEC 2027, we will easily surpass 125k BTC with 5 months to go before the halving. The chances of this happening is even higher, considering the fact that BTC is currently at 83k.

I'm not saying we're not going to see any flash crashes anytime soon, infact, We're going to get decent-chunk dumps but even though we get that, BTC is still primed to hit 125k and surpass 125k by November 2027.

So basically it's possible it hits 150 to 170k after the halving, and when it does, the 4 to 6 months period after it, would be a time to exit alts and take profit.

Which simply means, 200 to 220k by July 2028 is the period for alt holders to take profit, anything that extends beyond us is pure uncertainty.

Anyway this is just me trying to connect the dots and use previous and recent dynamism in the market to judge.

A very prime example is the BTC halving event. It just shows that the market's pump is no longer concentrated, we saw this play out a while back and unless something incredibly shocking or devastating happens, you can come back to this in November 2027.

Look at June this year.

It was the most horrible period to be in crypto and arguably the bottom of the market, and since we're past that now, I think everyone will start looking forward to better days.

Conclusion

The market was so bad that everyone started giving up, selling their stash and FUDDing really hard. It was even worse because we all felt that Q4 2025 should have been fireworks, but then we learned a brutal lesson: the 4 years cycle "ideology" is not full proof.

The market cycle happening every 4 years might not just be a thing of sentiment anymore, and the dynamics is changing, which is definitely something I'm aiming to use this post to communicate.

The last cycle was an eye opener, and honestly before anything changes that draft, it might take a way. So if you didn't read and you jump to the last paragraph.

My idea is that there may be no hard or mindbending pumps concentrated in a few months, rather, all we'd gets are small pumps that will keep compounding over a period of 12 to 14 months starting from November 2027.
