Editorial: Embracing the Winter Chill - A Recap of Solana's Latest Developments 

For those who have been closely following the pulse of Solana, the dates 

from August 31st to September 3rd held special significance as Hacker House 

Berlin took center stage. The Solana Foundation, in a commendable move, 

commissioned a unique edition of #SHILLzine exclusively for this event. Limited 

to just 500 premium copies, these magazines were crafted with precision and 

successfully distributed. 

The response was nothing short of exhilarating, with social media buzzing as 

lucky individuals shared their copies this exclusive magazine. The demand was 

so high that we received direct messages from enthusiasts inquiring if they 

could purchase a copy. If you're eager to secure one for yourself, we recommend 

reaching out to the Solana Foundation – you just might be in luck. And, of course, 

we eagerly await your feedback. 

In the midst of all the excitement, #SHILLzine managed to get its hands on a few 

gems from Joseph Taylor's new series through the Metaplex mint site. The icing 

on the cake was the acquisition of a Fubby14 access pass. It's moments like these 

that remind us why we're so passionate about this space. 

It's been one of those weeks when the entire crypto space seemed to take a 

collective breath. However, even during these lulls, sparks of innovation persist. 

Notably, the buzz around VISA partnering with Solana's USDC settlement 

service briefly sent prices soaring, albeit temporarily. The subsequent correction 

pulled the price back to under $20 USDC. It's a reminder that in the world of 

cryptocurrencies, excitement can be as fleeting as winter's first snowfall. 

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support. In this 

edition, we've diligently curated a collection of articles that we believe are well 

worth your time and investment to read. Additionally, the NFTs featured in this 

issue hail from talented creators such as Mallow and ExchangeArt. We hope 

that within these pages, you'll discover something new and exciting, perhaps 

something that had never crossed your mind before.

would handle it. (DYOR,NFA)

@grekos99 

A thread on the @solana native & high-performance 

$SHDW cloud platform powered by @GenesysGo 

and why it outclasses competitors like @Filecoin, @ 

ArweaveEco and others. 

1. Team 

@GenesysGo is a team of super experienced & PhD 

giga brains. These guys achieved more in a year than 

any of the competitors achieved in 5+ years, and will 

undoubtedly continue to do so: 

- The founders: 

@GenesysGo (Frank) @GummersGG (Steven) 

- The devs: 

@tracy_codes (Tracy) @taylorabbey (Taylor) @DeFi_ 

Rooster (David) @hexagraf (Chris) 

- The shadow engineers: 

@_nighthawk69_ (stranzhay) @CavemanLoverBoy 

(cavey) @khaIilnafis (Khalil) 

with the soon to be released $SHDW Drive v2. 

Quote 

grekos99 

@grekos99 

$SHDW Drive vs GDrive upload times. $SHDW Drive is 

not only decentralized & secure, it’s also fricking fast! 

And this is not even the final product. @GenesysGo is 

still building a revolutionary storage tech called DAG- 

GER. Try UIs like @sdrive_app @shadow_storage or @ 

synx_xyz 

2.2 The tech: DAGGER 

2.1. Product offering 

@GenesysGo’s mission is to provide a high-performance 

and affordable cloud storage platform. The 

current version, $SHDW Drive v1.5, has been live for 

over a year and is already being utilized by numerous 

projects as well as individuals for their storage needs. 

See below its incredible performance & speed vs Google 

Drive. However, a major enhancement is planned 

This enhancement is called DAGGER, a custom distributed 

ledger technology (Directed Acyclic Gossiping 

Graph Enabling Replication). It will be the core of the 

$SHDW platform. It acts as the orchestration engine 

for the network: it allows data to safely be erasure coded 

into pieces and stored across multiple independent 

operators without having to compromise on security. 

The same way Solana is the optimal execution layer 

for fast payments, DAGGER is the optimal L1/L2 hybrid 

designed specifically to manage large amounts of data 

stored across decentralized networks. All while being 

scalable and bandwidth efficient. 


Performance is key to attracting users & businesses! That is 

why @GenesysGo is making sure DAGGER provides performance 

on par with AWS & co. 

For more details on how it works see below. A whitepaper 

is also being drafted by the team for more technical readers. 

https://docs.shadow.cloud/learn/dagger 

2.3 Why use $SHDW Drive vs competitors? 

- choice between mutable & immutable storage - embedded 

GDPR compliance to tackle regulatory risk - deterministic 

name structure to enhance performance - Robust dev 

tools for Solana builders - S3 compatibility for seamless 

onboarding of new users & web2 businesses - Ease of use 

thanks to community UIs @Filecoin & @ArweaveEco do 

not offer these features. 

2.4. Existing user interfaces 

Although additional products are being built on top of 

$SHDW Drive, there are currently three available community 

UIs to easily upload files onto $SHDW Drive. All you 

need is a login & a Solana address with a tiny amount of 

$SOL & $SHDW. 

- https://sdrive.app by @sdrive_app 

- https://shadow.storage by @shadow_storage 

- https://synx.xyz by @synx_xyz 

2.5 Product roadmap 

@GenesysGo has never committed to a specific timeline. 

Simply because building great products takes time. To 

quote dev god @tracy_codes: ‘It’ll be ready when it’s 

ready’. However, the shipping pipeline is pretty full: DAG- 

GER, mobile, vector storage for AI… 

3.1. Tokenomics 

$SHDW is the utility token that powers the 

Shadow ecosystem. It has two main purposes: - 

buy storage & compute capabilities - secure the 

network (via a staking mechanism for shadow 

operators) 

$SHDW is close to FULL DILUTION! 88% of the 

total supply is in circulation and it will reach 

close to 100% within months. The project 

launched with 200m $SHDW. Last year @ 

GenesysGo burned the entire token reserve of 

31m as the team felt it was not needed. There 

are therefore 169m left, of which 148m are in 

circulation. The remaining 21m are staked via 

Shadowy Super Coder NFTs and most of them 

will be in circulation in the coming months. 

Track the staking address here: https://solscan. 

io/account/46BtRifF7jVcMYaoPu9E6Mdh9ahy- 

Er8TMkrxKFwJ3QDa… 

$SHDW is deflationary. The total supply will 

never increase and will instead be reduced via 

various burning mechanisms: - ingress/egress 

charges for high-performance data requests - 

mutable storage fees - purchase of SSC NFTs v2 

features or upgrades - additional mechanisms 

tbd 

3.2 Pricing 

A dynamic $SHDW Drive pricing pegged to a USD value 

is in place for mutable storage. Mutable: 1GB = 0.05 USD 

per year $SHDW value low? More $SHDW gets burnt for 

each GB but the customer still pays a fixed price. $SHDW 

moons? Cost to customer stays the same, just results in 

less $SHDW burnt. 

Immutable storage on the other hand is not pegged. 

Immutable : 1 GB = 0.25 SHDW (~ 0.03 USD) Some might 

wonder how both these pricing structures can be sustainable 

and how operators are incentivized. Think of the 

current offering as being a teaser rate: early adopters can 

get large storage space almost for free. This will of course 

be recalibrated in due course. 

4. Business structure 

Thanks to careful planning and execution, @GenesysGo 

was able to setup an extremely flexible business structure 

to navigate through potentially turbulent times: - no VC 

dependency, as no private token sales took place. This 

means total freedom to build the way they want - they 

have around 50m in IDO funds at disposal, allowing the 

team to continue building for 20+ years - should the web3 

potential turn out to be limited, @GenesysGo mentioned 

that they could easily become a web2 business and swap 

$SHDW tokens into shares or buy them back with generated 

revenues. 

Final thoughts My conclusion of the above is simple: 

@GenesysGo has the potential to be a major disruptor in 

the USD 400 billion a year cloud industry. If they succeed 

and manage to gain just a tiny fraction of the market share, 

it would result in a multi-billion valuation for $SHDW. As a 

reminder the current valuation is at 18m. That’s right. 18. 

MILLION.

Embrace the enigma of new meta about to unfold on solana blockchain, Bozo the clown known as 

@BozoCollective, a character steeped in whimsical lore and laughter, Here’s everything you need to know and 

why you shouldn’t miss out. 

Bozo is said to be the guardian of joy, a timeless and ageless being who travels between worlds on a rainbow-colored 

balloon. Born from the dreams of children, Bozo is a whimsical enigma, both prankster and wise counselor 

rolled into one. #Bozocollective 

Bozo emerged from the laughter of the very first child 

to discover the joy of a well-timed joke. This laugh, 

pure and infectious, took on a life of its own, materializing 

into the clownish form of Bozo. With a big red 

nose, Blue round eyes, Bozo embodies the spirit of 

fun! 

Bozo is renowned for his playful pranks, which are 

never meant to hurt but rather to remind people not 

to take life too seriously,he hosts a never-ending carnival 

where cotton candy grows on trees, the animals 

tell jokes, and everyone dances to the tune of their 

own mirth. 


Beyond all,Bozo imparts profound wisdom about the 

importance of laughter, unity, and the boundless possibilities 

of imagination. He teaches that even in the darkest of 

times, a well-timed joke can be a beacon of hope. 

Lastly, Bozo reminds us all that there’s a place for laughter 

and silliness in our lives. So, the next time you hear a 

clown’s horn honk or see a splash of confetti, remember 

that @BozoCollective might be near, spreading laughter 

and merriment wherever he goes. #Bozocollective 

Conclusion! 

Owning @BozoCollective NFTs is like holding a key to a 

lifetime generational wealth and here’s why: Free mint on 

solana network 

• Low supply 

• No Overallocation 

• Rewards active participant 

@BozoCollective is one you don’t want to miss out on!

A good way to protect your NFT portfolio is to hedge against market volatility. You can do this in many ways, and 

in today’s content I will show you how to do this through a loan. Understand how you can hedge quickly through 

platforms like @texture_fi. 

Borrow to hedge, how does it work? As a Borrower, you will deposit your NFT as collateral and you will receive 

tokens (SOL) in exchange for this. The loan has a duration and a certain interest rate At the end of the loan, you 

have two options. 

1- Repay the loan + interest rate, in this way, you will once again regain ownership of the NFT that you origi- 


nally put forth as collateral. 

2- 2- Do not repay the loan. In this case, you retain 

the borrowed SOL tokens, but the ownership of 

your NFT will be transferred to the lender. 

The moment the floor price drops below the amount you 

borrowed, you have successfully hedged. So in that situation, 

you would choose to keep the amount you borrowed. 

You can then choose to buy back if the NFT price drops 

further. 

Last week, CETS price reached 10.88 SOL And on this same 

day (08/22) we took a snapshot, and the best loan offer 

was 7.70 SOL. On the 29th of August (7 days later), the 

price returned to 7 - 6.4 SOL range. If you had a 7-day loan 

it would have been a successful hedge! 

And you can do this whole process through @texture_fi 

A user-friendly and simple-to-use platform. After a few 

steps, you can Borrow with just one click! 

Weekly, @texture_fi is making posts showing the hedges 

of the week Take a look at the last tweet here. 

Quote 

Texture @texture_fi 

Alpha reminder: hedging your portfolio with some NFT 

loans is often a smart move 

https://twitter.com/texture_fi/status/1696561491481182294 

I hope you understand how to hedge with 

a loan If it makes sense to you, it can be a 

good strategy to protect your portfolio, even 

more so when the floor price of a collection 

increases a lot in a short time.

WITH SENTIENTSHAPES 

Hello Readers, now that you’ve had a few light weeks of practicing here. Let’s 

once again dive into the deep waters of poetic structure and the constraints that 

help us become better writers and artists each day. Now if you remember the five 

poetic structures, and if you can’t recall here they are: meter, rhyme, scheme, 

verse, and stanza. These five elements are a generalization of the vast number of 

different types of poetic structure that you can use as an outline for your writing. 

Today we will be looking at a structure that has 2 uses, as a stanza and a use as 

its own poem as well. The Tercet. A Tercet is any three lines of poetry, whether as 

a 3-lined stanza or a stand alone poem. The Tercet can rhyme (or not) and can 

have a particular meter (or not). A great example we all know commonly as the 

Haiku is a Tercet. Oh! Now in your mind you’re thinking a Tercet is easy? Three 

little lines, just scribbled on a page. Well, let’s put it this way, an easy Tercet is like 

a “bad” Tercet, not thought out, syllables not even noticed, no meter, no subtle 

foreshadowing or social commentary. Remember, even if you can only use ten 

words in an entire poem–those ten words must convey the precise intention of 

the author. If you choose your words all willy-nilly your poem will lose its depth 

and power. When we use conciseness we must use preciseness as well…using 

little words doesn’t mean applying lesser meaning. Using more words does not 

portray more meaning. 

1/4

2/4 


Be exact and precise in your words when writing poetry, study them! Use a thesaurus! 

Look up schemes and meters that you would otherwise not have thought of to use, and 

use them! Study syllabic sounds so that you can put your art together in a way that the 

reader can easily convey your intention. The more you practice the art of words, the 

easier these poetic structures and cadences will come naturally to you. 

Everything you do in life is a practice, 

SO WHAT ARE YOU PRACTICING?


Today you have the opportunity to practice poetry with me! Follow along with my 

4 easy steps and you’ll be writing in no time… 

Step 1: Choose a topic. This week I’m choosing the clouds because that’s where my 

head is right now. 

Step 2: The most fun step, the Madlib step. Fill in the blanks with brainstorming! 

Come up with a few ideas you might put in your draft. Here I go: light and airy like 

a perfect beignet. So high, blown by the wind, cold and stormy sometimes too. 

Step 3: Choose a poetic structure–you didn’t forget about the Tercet did you? 

Let’s practice using our structure from this week. I’m going to write 3 Tercets that 

can also be 3 stand alone poems. 

Step 4: Wrap up your piece with an ending. Don’t judge yourself, it’s only the first 

draft! You can always change it later, that’s the beauty of poetry. Don’t stress–let 

yourself be free to write what’s on your mind. 

3/4


Let’s see what I can come up with… 

Up There 

down here, looking up 

sure you don’t look that tough 

just a cloud floating by 

too high to grasp 

my jump can’t last 

i still reach up to you anyway 

even when you’re gray 

i could lay aneath you all day 

watching you blow away in the chilled wind 

What do you think? Working with structures is fun and 

challenging. I can’t wait to see what you write this week… 

send them to 

and until next time…be practicing!

Mass adoption is *NOT* going to happen just from institutional adoption. 

As @0xBanana & my mom puts it: It's going to take all of us embracing our roles as a "doorto-door 

salesperson". 

When the @Visa integration news broke out 

yesterday, I was barely online. I found out from 

family & friends flooding me with questions 

about Solana. 

Influencer, dev, artist... Whatever your role is, if 

you're still here on @solana, you share part of 

this communal responsibility to push the space 

in the direction that you want it to grow. 

To a lot of us in here, Solana feels inevitable. 

Be it for the future of global payments, or for 

creators in the arts & other creative industries, 

Solana is mega bullish. 

But that's the bottleneck, it's still a bubble. 

Not only do we need to continue putting in the 

hard work to build tech infrastructure, public 

good services, and creative projects that are 

actually meaningful on-chain use-cases. 

But we also need an overwhelming amount of 

patience: 

• To explain what blockchain technology is all about, and why it *doesn't* damage the environment 

any more than people using cloud gaming or movie streaming services do; 

• To show how we can transform the existing socio-economic interactions into something 

more equitable, accountable, and transparent; 

• To share how NFTs the paradigm shift this represents for creatives across multiple industries 

being able to OWN and VERIFY the authenticity & provenance of their work, and how 

it is very much *not* just "random strings of letters and numbers with a JPEG front-end" 

As our neighbourhood supersaiyan Pengu @iamkadense always says: 

Slowly then suddenly... Solana 


The becc Interview: A Web3 Content Creator Story 

becc tells us about her entry into NFTs, learning how to create content, lack of female representation in Web3 

and her favorite 1/1 artists. 

Benzel Washington / tsbdigital 

You’re a holder and active member in numerous bluechip projects like DeGods, SMB, Claynosaurz and of course, 

the Mad Lads. 

What was your entry into the NFT space? 

My brother got me involved, he’s a trader. 

I’m more of a collector - been around ever since. 


Have you been creating content since the beginning? 

How did you find your voice as a creator in web3? 

I started creating after about a year in NFTs. 

I found my voice by connecting with dope people in the 

space and going to IRL events, and honestly just posting, 

and seeing what works and always getting better. 

You recently spoke out about the lack of representation 

of female builders in NFT projects. 

What female led projects are you most bullish on right 

now? 

I don’t know of any projects that are considered blue chips 

that are female-led, that’s the problem haha. 

Rooniverse is dope. 

Who are the underrated or unknown women in the space 

that deserve more of a spotlight? 

Too many women to name. nich and bangerz are both 

G.O.A.T. artists. 

Gotta shoutout bee because they made me a sick 

DeGod. 

You’ve started exploring the 1/1 NFT world lately. Who 

are your favorite 1/1 artists right now? 

0xZh_ is the dope artist for my Oracle as well. 

1/1 artists are a big move!
