NODO's Impressive Growth Trajectory

Dear Valued Partners, 

Welcome to this week’s deep dive into the latest developments reshaping the AI agent and crypto ecosystems. In this edition, we explore major expansions into Solana, strategic partnerships with Tether, bold rebranding initiatives, and innovative product updates that are setting the stage for a new era of interconnected digital and physical experiences.

Market Summary

AI Agents Expand on Solana

Solana is becoming a hub for AI-driven innovation, with Virtual, Vader, and ARC making notable advancements.

🔹 Virtuals has launched a Meteora trading pool, introducing a Strategic SOL Reserve (SSR) in which 1% of trading fees is converted into SOL to reward agents and creators. This approach enhances liquidity while ensuring stability for AGENT/VIRTUAL trading pairs. Virtual is also exploring real-world integrations, starting with a pop-up coffee shop in Mexico, hinting at AI’s potential in bridging digital and physical experiences.

🔹 Vader is ramping up its liquidity on Solana, though it still holds only one-sixth of its Base network liquidity. Despite this, trading volumes are climbing, and an upcoming staking mechanism could further boost liquidity incentives. The community’s strong engagement signals promising long-term growth within Solana’s DeFi ecosystem.

🔹 ARC, in collaboration with the Solana Foundation, is backing AI-driven DeFi automation and developer tooling with targeted grants for Rust-based AI agent development. The initiative includes financial incentives and technical mentorship, reinforcing Solana’s growing role in AI innovation.

Together, these developments highlight Solana’s increasing adoption of AI agents in DeFi, infrastructure, and real-world applications.

Tether x NODO (Nigeria): Recap

Tether and NODO Drive Stablecoin Education in Nigeria

Ibadan, Nigeria — In a nation that ranks second globally for cryptocurrency adoption, the latest educational initiative by Tether and NODO marks a significant step toward broader financial inclusion. Hosted at Hybrid Heights, Ibadan City, on January 25, 2025, the event brought together 64 participants against the backdrop of Nigeria's flourishing crypto ecosystem, where stablecoins account for 43% of all cryptocurrency transactions.

The hands-on workshop proved particularly valuable. It focused on essential skills such as creating crypto wallets, acquiring and utilizing Tether, and navigating the NODO platform. Participants received step-by-step guidance on setting up a Phantom wallet, managing USDT on the Polygon network, and executing token swaps—practical skills crucial for participating in the growing DeFi ecosystem, which processed over $30 billion in Nigeria last year.
