Supported Coins

Both brands accept a wide range of popular cryptocurrencies, making it easy to use the coin you already hold.  These currently include BTC, BCH, USDT, DOGE, LTC, and ETH, with additional coins being added regularly.  Using these means fast confirmations, low fees, and broad compatibility across wallets and exchanges.

SOLNEX Launches AI-Powered Yield Generation Platform on Solana

SOLNEX announced the prelaunch of its new platform designed to generate automated yield on the Solana network. The platform uses an advanced artificial intelligence system, METAsol, to analyze market data and execute trades in real-time. Solana’s network produces over 15 terabytes of data daily, with trading volumes between $5 billion and $10 billion. SOLNEX was created to process this information, identifying financial opportunities as they emerge. The platform is powered by the METAsol protocol, an autonomous on-chain intelligence protocol. METAsol operates through three core components:
  • The Synapse Network scans every transaction, liquidity change, and wallet movement across Solana.
  • The Cognitive Core uses AI to identify new trends and forecast capital movements.
  • The Reflex Engine uses these insights to execute programmatic strategies like arbitrage and momentum trading.
This process generates what SOLNEX calls Quantum Yield, a consistent stream of profit derived from market intelligence. Users access the system through SOLNEX Grid products. Each Grid is a self-contained yield system that runs for 365 days. Upon activation, users also receive a 100% value-back in $METASOL, the ecosystem’s native token. “We built METAsol to bring order to the chaos of on-chain data,” said Logan Pietroforte, CEO of METAsol. “SOLNEX is the gateway for everyone to access that intelligence. It makes high-performance yield generation simple, secure, and transparent.”
The platform includes features for growth and security. The SOLNEX Accelerator allows users to apply 50% of the value of their active Grids to unlock higher-tier Grids. For security, the SolNex Vault and Reserve System provides users with Insurance Points for capital protection. Additionally, 20% of every withdrawal is converted into $SOL and sent to a public on-chain reserve to ensure transparency. SOLNEX began a 60-day prelaunch program on November 10, 2025. This period allows early users to activate Grids and prepare for the official public release. The prelaunch will culminate in Velocity 2026, the official global launch event hosted in Hong Kong and Macau. By 2027, the company plans for METAsol to evolve into a Quantum Yield-as-a-Service infrastructure. This will allow other protocols and DAOs to use its intelligence engine.

About SOLNEX

SOLNEX is a decentralized finance platform providing user access to AI-powered yield generation on the Solana blockchain. It simplifies complex algorithmic trading through its flagship Grid products, powered by the METAsol intelligence engine. Contact Information: Social Media Profiles:

Its dual gaming ecosystem is thriving, both online and offline, and analysts expect the iGaming market to climb significantly in the coming years. Meanwhile, the land-based sector continues to expand steadily, with the country’s 350+ casinos standing as a testament to sustained growth and consumer appetite. With Mexico on the brink of a long-awaited regulatory modernisation, this growth is set to accelerate, making MEGA 2026 the perfect platform to connect with the influential leaders driving that transformation. Sharing her perspective on the region’s evolution, event Chairperson Margarita Cruz, Founder/Director of Diamond28 Consulting Limited, remarked: “Mexico and LatAm are transitioning from high-velocity growth to a more structured regulatory era, reshaping how operators plan and compete.

METAsol Launches Institutional-Grade Intelligence Engine for Solana Ecosystem

Revolutionary Platform Processes 15 Terabytes of Daily On-Chain Data, Bringing Wall Street Infrastructure to DeFi Trading METAsol emerges as the leading institutional intelligence and execution engine built specifically for the Solana blockchain ecosystem. Under CEO Logan Pietroforte’s leadership, the company delivers Wall Street-level infrastructure to decentralized finance. The Challenge Solana’s ecosystem generates massive data volumes. METAsol processes over 15 terabytes of on-chain and mempool data daily while monitoring more than 5,000 newly launched tokens. Human traders cannot compete when opportunities appear and vanish in milliseconds. The noise of scams and failures drowns out genuine signals, and missing that crucial genesis event means losing the trade entirely.

Three-Tiered Technology Stack 

METAsol has built a sophisticated infrastructure under Pietroforte’s direction:
  • The Synapse Network (Data Ingestion): A global network of bare-metal Solana validators streams decoded data in real-time, including unconfirmed mempool events. The system identifies trades before confirmation.
  • The Cognitive Core (Intelligence & Analytics): A petabyte-scale data architecture indexes the entire Solana ledger. AI and machine learning layers identify on-chain actors, profile behaviors, and predict market trajectories.
  • The Reflex Engine (Execution): A low-latency HFT engine executes thousands of trades per minute, from first-block sniping of new token launches to complex momentum and arbitrage strategies. Pietroforte calls this infrastructure the company’s “unfair advantage.”

Product Suite 

METAsol offers three products built on this infrastructure:
  • The METAsol Terminal: A real-time analytics dashboard providing live predictive trending scores, alerts for high-potential token launches vetted by security scanners, and visibility into the live profit and loss of every profitable trader on Solana.
  • Quantum Yield Vaults: Designed for DAOs, funds, and individuals. Participants deposit $SOL or $USDC and let the METAsol engine trade on their behalf. Strategies range from risk-managed arbitrage to high-growth genesis sniping.
  • Developer API: A high-throughput API allowing third-party developers to build on METAsol’s platform. Access real-time data streams, wallet intelligence, and trend-analysis tools to create new DeFi applications.
Pietroforte describes this combination as “infrastructure for the future of on-chain value creation.”

Token Economics 

The $METASOL governance token sits at the ecosystem’s heart. Token holders gain:
  • Governance rights over key decisions including trading strategies, treasury management, and engine evolution.
  • A share in protocol revenue via a staking model paying out in blue-chip assets like $SOL and $USDC.
  • Participation in a “Liquidity Flywheel” where protocol fees deepen on-chain liquidity, reinforcing the token’s long-term health.
METAsol’s roadmap positions $METASOL as the economic heartbeat of the entire engine.

From Reactive to Genesis

Traditional tools analyze after the event. METAsol creates the event. Pietroforte explains the engine moves beyond reactive measures: “We are the Genesis of trends.” From first-block token snipes to predictive momentum trading, METAsol positions itself as the source of alpha, not just a tracker.

Looking Forward 

As the Solana ecosystem expands, the need for institutional-grade architecture intensifies. METAsol stakes its claim to fill that gap under Logan Pietroforte’s leadership. For those seeking to navigate high-speed, high-volume on-chain trading, the message rings clear: intelligence, execution, and access must be built, not discovered.
