4-Hour Market Cap Express Over $50M, One Article to Understand Solana's On-Chain AI Social Project $SSE

In the gloom of a bear market, today $SSE, "Solana Social Explore," was the first to break through the clouds. Emerging from an internal Pumpfun exchange, it swiftly moved $50 million in just 4 hours. What kind of charm does it possess to cut through the lamentation of on-chain liquidity scarcity?

Solana Social Explore

SSE is a social blockchain data tracker on Solana that confirms top traders' activity. It provides users with automated tools and insights to optimize token trading decisions, mainly by tracking address activities, popular tokens, top traders, and providing a social graph of their addresses and users. It can be said that it combines the concepts of on-chain, social, trading, and AI data sets into one.

Behind this platform is the Tapestry ecosystem protocol, which supports it. When claiming this CA, the Tapestry official Twitter handle even whimsically played a game of a hidden poem. "H4PH" happens to be the first four digits of the $SSE contract address, bringing a breath of fresh air in the current trend of Twitter riddles.

Whether this is a marketing tactic or not, someone discovered the dev wallet's earnings on another social app called "VECTORDOTFUN" and exposed it on X. The current earnings have now reached nearly $2.5 million. Later, the dev, "nemoblackburn," even shared an invite code for Vectordotfun's beta testing on Twitter and pinned the tweet saying "i love degens," giving the overall operation a strong Degen vibe.

Tapestry behind SSE

Tapestry is a social graph protocol built on the Solana blockchain, aimed at providing infrastructure for decentralized applications (dApps) to easily implement complex social features. It offers robust support for decentralized social platforms, social networks, and other blockchain applications that rely on user interaction.
On January 17, Tapestry announced a Series A funding round led by Fabric Ventures and the founder's former employer, Union Square Ventures, with Aptos, Foresight, Social Graph, and other institutions participating. The funding valued the project at $70 million, raising $5.75 million. Founder David Gabeau likened Tapestry to the SMTP protocol for emails, drawing parallels between on-chain addresses and email addresses.

Tapestry is not founder David Gabeau's first attempt on the Solana chain, as he had previously created a Solana social art product called Primitives three years ago. The mature team, combined with a marketing strategy that resonates with the Degen culture, attracted on-chain players hungry for new narratives during the bear market, thus bringing about the rise of $SSE, the anti-trend golden dog.

Whether this is just a flash in the pan or can be developed into a high-quality social profile product like "Cookie," "VECTORDOTFUN," or "Warpcast" remains to be seen and will depend on the market and the project's response.
