🎄Loyal Holidays Infographic Competition

The challenge: Design an infographic that communicates Loyal's value to someone who's never heard of us. You have one second of their attention. Make it count.

Quick tips for scroll-stopping infographics:
• One core message - don't try to explain everything
• Bold visual hierarchy - the key point should hit instantly
• Minimal text - if they have to read, you've already lost
• High contrast - make it pop on a feed full of noise

Angles to consider:
• The privacy problem (ChatGPT = wiretap)
• Physics-based privacy vs "trust me bro" promises
• Handle-based payments without wallet doxxing

How to enter:
• Create your infographic
• Post on X, tag @loyal_hq
• Use #LoyalHolidays

Timeline:
• Submissions close: Dec 23 (23:59 UTC)
• Winners announced: Dec 24


Prizes: 1st $100 | 2nd $70 | 3rd $30 USDC


Stop the scroll. Stay Loyal, gLoyal and say it back!

We're live in 15 minutes for our weekly stream on X

We'll break down what we've shipped, what's coming next, and our upcoming proposal on LP burning.

Show up, ask your questions in the comments, and stay loyal!

🔒 Sector 0 Cohort 1 - Applications Closed


We've reviewed every application. Selections are in progress.

All applicants will receive a response by end of day tomorrow via email or X DM.

If you're not selected for Cohort 1, that doesn't mean we've forgotten you. Strong applicants who didn't make this cohort will be considered for other duties and future opportunities. Quarterly recruitment means more chances ahead.

Thanks to everyone who applied. The quality of submissions exceeded expectations.

gLoyal!

A community member just put up a MetaDAO proposal to withdraw and burn 90% of the LOYAL tokens sitting in the single-sided Meteora DAMM pool.

This amounts to roughly 810k tokens.

The argument: single-sided pools don't provide price support and create selling pressure. Burning that supply would tighten circulating tokens without breaking dex integrations.

This didn't come from the team - it's a community proposal going through MetaDAO governance.

Read the full spec, vote if you hold $LOYAL, decide for yourself whether reducing supply this way makes sense for your bags futards.

🔓 SECTOR 0 UPDATE

We're adding one more Operator to Cohort 1.

Welcome to the team @nelogx0!

When we closed selections, we had more exceptional candidates than spots, but we have a surplus budget for the program, and when we looked at who we'd passed on, the choice was clear.

@nel_ogx has been an OG Loyalist from the start, with consistent, insane dedication to the cause. Mission alignment that's genuine, not performative. The kind of person who shows up and contributes before anyone offers to pay them for it.

That's Sector 0 energy.

---

This means that Cohort 1 is now 7 Operators strong - so we're hitting the ground running in 2026.

📩 If you applied to Sector 0 and haven't heard back, check the email you used during signup.

Trust yourself, trust the math - just don't blindly trust the system.

Above all else, Stay Loyal.

One hour until we're live on X

First weekly update stream of 2026 hits at 19:00 UTC

- 2025 recap
- What's next for Q1 2026

Show up for the alpha, and Stay Loyal 🫡

We're sponsoring something new.

@Assumed_Lost, our community lead, is hosting a weekly X Space - the first one goes live today at 2pm UTC.

This isn't another repackaged alpha call where someone reads you yesterday's CT takes. This is a weekly retreat for people who think owning your data matters and who want market intelligence that isn't spoon-fed through a surveillance feed.

What you'll get:

📰 Market-moving news and opinion. The kind of signal that matters when you're trying to stay ahead of the noise.

🎙 Open stage format. Real conversations with real people. Not scripted talking points. Not performative thought leadership. Actual exchange of ideas.

🐶 A space for builders, operators, and anyone who cares about extracting alpha while maintaining sovereignty over their stack.

If you've been looking for a regular cadence of substantive conversation in the ocean of AI slop, political ragebait, and shilling - this is it.

2pm UTC. Every week. See you there.

Join us today at 7pm UTC for our weekly founder stream!

Every Friday the team gives you all the alpha on the biggest asymmetric privacy bet in crypto

All we ask is that you say the only two words that matter in the chat...

🐶 Stay Loyal 🐶
