Enough of the Solana Meme nonsense value extraction and more on the products. These are the products 👇🏻 retail should farm for tokens ez
Asides that, Libra shed more light on what I call the Sol-meme-value-extraction

$3.6B starts an altszn and more imo
That said, these are the infra protocols I’m farming cos I expect value extraction to reduce or trickle down and more focus on the utility
