UXLINK Reaches 10 Million Users, Leads the SocialFi Revolution

UXLINK has surpassed 10 million registered users, marking a historic achievement in both the blockchain and SocialFi domains. As the first product in these fields to reach such a user base, UXLINK’s success warrants a deeper look into its strategies.
In an exclusive interview, Bob Ng, the Chief Technology Officer of UXLINK, shared his insights on the competitive field, user metrics, and the future of SocialFi.
UXLINK is a leading user-driven Web3 social platform designed for mass adoption. It aims to be both a social DEX and social infrastructure. Unlike other platforms that only allow one-way following relationships, UXLINK fosters two-way, friend-like social connections. It also enables real-time interactions through its UXGroup feature.
Enhancing User Verification for Authentic Interactions
BeInCrypto: The SocialFi sector is a hot topic now. What unique value proposition does UXLINK offer that sets it apart from other social platforms in the market?
UXLINK’s unique value proposition lies in its focus on authentic social interactions and its robust user verification process. By emphasizing “registered users” instead of just unique wallet addresses, UXLINK ensures that the interactions on its platform are genuine and meaningful. This approach helps to build a trustworthy community, which is essential for social platforms. Additionally, UXLINK vets new users through its invitation-only registration process, enhancing the quality of the user base.
BeInCrypto: What advantages does this provide in understanding your user base?
UXLINK focuses on “registered users” to ensure that its user base reflects real individuals engaging with the platform. This approach addresses issues of fake or sybil wallet addresses that can distort data. By using registered users as a metric, UXLINK can better understand and cater to its actual user base, fostering more meaningful interactions and improving the overall quality of the community.
BeInCrypto: Can you walk us through the process and criteria for verifying and registering a user on UXLINK? How does this ensure the authenticity of your user base?
The verification and registration process on UXLINK involves three stages:
- Invitation-Based Registration. New users must be invited by existing users or partners, ensuring that new members are connected to the community.
- Human Interaction Verification. Users must engage in human interaction to prove they are not bots.
- Product Usage. Users must utilize UXLINK’s products to complete their registration.
This multi-stage process ensures that each user is a real person, significantly reducing the likelihood of fake accounts and enhancing the authenticity of the user base.
Addressing Challenges in SocialFi
BeInCrypto: What are your thoughts on the current trends in SocialFi, and how can UXLINK take advantage of these trends?
Current trends in SocialFi include a focus on decentralization, user privacy, and community-driven growth. UXLINK can take advantage of these trends by leveraging its strong community verification processes and commitment to user privacy. Our approach to incentivizing community contributions through UXUY and its emphasis on authentic social connections align well with these trends, making it a leader in the space.
BeInCrypto: Where is the SocialFi sector currently lagging, and what innovations or improvements are needed to advance the field?
The SocialFi currently lags in addressing sybil attacks and ensuring genuine user interactions. This sector needs innovations in user verification, such as multi-stage registration and human interaction requirements, to improve authenticity.Additionally, enhancing user privacy and security while maintaining transparency is crucial. Developing tools and protocols that make it easier for users to interact and contribute to the community can also advance the field.
BeInCrypto: What measures does UXLINK implement to detect and prevent sybil accounts, and how effective have these measures been?
UXLINK implements a three-step process to detect and prevent sybil accounts:
- Step one. Based on human verification or access compliance validation, we will identify wallet addresses as false and exclude them from the system. These accounts will not be counted as registered users, and they will not generate UXUY rewards from “link-to-earn”. While this step can block the majority of false accounts, it must not be too stringent to avoid inadvertently harming genuine users.
- Step two. Upon entering the UXLINK network and generating UXUY rewards, we will further filter based on community contributions and activity levels. For example, if an account remains inactive for six months or fails to successfully claim UXUY, UXLINK will reclaim the rewards and redistribute them within the community to incentivize high-quality users. This reallocation process helps to insure that only users who truly contribute value to the community receive incentives.
- Step three. Before TGE, the community will conduct another round of anti-sybil measures and announce the methods. They will reintroduce the reclaimed UXUY rewards into the community to incentivize high-quality users.
These measures have been effective in maintaining a high-quality user base and ensuring that community incentives are directed toward genuine users.
BeInCrypto: How does UXLINK ensure user privacy and data security, particularly given the platform’s emphasis on social interaction and connection?
UXLINK ensures user privacy and data security by implementing robust encryption protocols and privacy-preserving technologies. The platform respects user privacy by allowing users to interact without necessarily revealing their identities. UXLINK also follows strict data security practices to protect user information from unauthorized access, ensuring a safe and secure environment for social interactions.
UXLINK Brings the Mass Adoption Closer
BeInCrypto: How does UXUY function within the UXLINK ecosystem to encourage community growth and interaction?
UXUY functions as an on-chain Proof of Work (POW) score within the UXLINK ecosystem. It incentivizes community growth and interaction by rewarding users for their contributions to the community. Users earn UXUY through defined POW activities, and these rewards can be claimed on-chain. This system encourages active participation and rewards genuine contributions, fostering a vibrant and engaged community.
BeInCrypto: How does UXLINK maintain high levels of user engagement and retention, especially in comparison to other platforms?
UXLINK maintains high levels of engagement and retention through its focus on social connections and community contributions. By fostering real-world social relationships and group activities, UXLINK creates a strong sense of community. The platform also incentivizes active participation through UXUY rewards and ensures that contributions are recognized and rewarded. These strategies lead to higher user stickiness and retention rates compared to other platforms.
BeInCrypto: What do you see as the biggest barriers to mass adoption of SocialFi platforms, and how is UXLINK working to overcome these obstacles?
The biggest barriers to mass adoption of SocialFi platforms include user trust, privacy concerns, and the complexity of blockchain technology. UXLINK addresses these obstacles by building a trustworthy community through rigorous verification processes, prioritizing user privacy, and providing user-friendly interfaces. By simplifying interactions and making blockchain technology more accessible, UXLINK aims to overcome these barriers and drive mass adoption.
BeInCrypto: How does UXLINK assess and reward community contributions, and what impact does this have on fostering an active and engaged user base?
UXLINK assesses community contributions through its UXUY POW score, which records and rewards user activities. Contributions are evaluated based on predefined community activities, and users earn UXUY as a result. This rewards system encourages active participation and fosters an engaged user base by recognizing and incentivizing valuable contributions to the community.
Future Prospects and Strategic Collaborations
BeInCrypto: What upcoming projects or features can UXLINK users look forward to, and how do these align with your vision for the platform’s future?
UXLINK users can look forward to new features that enhance social interactions and community engagement. Upcoming projects include collaborations with ecosystem partners to establish a socialized layer for asset generation and distribution. These developments align with UXLINK’s vision of creating a trustworthy social platform and infrastructure that empowers users and developers alike.
BeInCrypto: How does UXLINK plan to collaborate with other ecosystem partners to enhance its platform and user experience?
UXLINK plans to collaborate with ecosystem partners by integrating their services and technologies into its platform. This will enable users to access a wider range of applications and services seamlessly. By leveraging these partnerships, UXLINK aims to enhance the user experience and provide more value to its community, driving growth and innovation within the SocialFi sector.

Report Alleges Massive Meme Coin Sniping on Pump.fun

According to a new report from Pine Analytics, token deployers on Pump.fun systematically funded sniper wallets to buy their own meme coins. This impacted over 15,000 token launches on the platform.
These sniper wallets operated primarily during US trading hours, executing standardized, profitable strategies. Unrelated bot activity obscures their behavior, making it extremely difficult to isolate these wallets—and they can readily adapt to new countermeasures.
Snipers Roam Free on Pump.fun Meme Coins
Pump.fun has remained one of the most popular meme coin launchpads on Solana despite persistent controversies and other criticism.
However, Pine Analytics’ new report has uncovered a new controversy, discovering systematic market manipulation on the platform. These snipes include as much as 1.75% of all launch activity on Pump.fun.
“Our analysis reveals that this tactic is not rare or fringe — over the past month alone, more than 15,000 SOL in realized profit was extracted through this method, across 15,000+ launches involving 4,600+ sniper wallets and 10,400+ deployers. These wallets demonstrate unusually high success rates (87% of snipes were profitable), clean exits, and structured operational patterns,” it claimed.
Solana meme coin deployers on Pump.fun follow a consistent pattern. They fund one or more sniper wallets and grant them advance notice of upcoming token launches.
Those wallets purchase tokens in the very first block and then liquidate almost immediately—85% within five minutes and 90% in just one or two swap events.

Pump.fun meme coin developers exploit this tactic to create the appearance of immediate demand for their tokens. Retail investors, unaware of the prior sell‑off, often purchase these tokens after the snipe, giving developers an unfair advantage. This constitutes market manipulation and erodes trust in the platform.
Pine Analytics had to carefully calibrate its methods to identify genuine snipers. Apparently, 50% of meme coin launches on Pump.fun involve sniping, but most of this is probably bots using the “spray and pray” method.
However, by filtering out snipers with no direct links to developer wallets, the firm missed projects that covered their tracks through proxies and burners.
In other words, the meme coin community does not have adequate defenses against systematic abuse on Pump.fun. There are a few possible ways that the platform could flag repeat offenders and sketchy projects, but adaptive countermeasures could defeat them. This problem demands persistent and proactive action.
Unfortunately, it may be difficult to enact such policies. Meme coin sniping is so systematic that Pump.fun could only fight it with real commitment.
Analysts think that building an on-chain culture that rewards transparency over extraction is the best long-term solution. A shift like that would be truly seismic, and the meme coin sector might not survive it.

Solana Leads Blockchain Metrics as SOL Momentum Builds

Solana (SOL) continues to show strength across multiple fronts, maintaining a bullish structure on its Ichimoku Cloud chart while gaining momentum in key market metrics. The BBTrend indicator has turned higher again, signaling renewed buying pressure after a brief cooldown.
On-chain activity remains strong, with Solana leading all blockchains in DEX volume and dominating fee generation thanks to the explosive growth of meme coins and launchpad activity. With SOL now trading above a key resistance level, the path is open for further upside—though a loss of momentum could still trigger a retest of lower supports.
Solana Maintains Bullish Structure, but Momentum Faces Key Test
On Solana’s Ichimoku Cloud chart, the price is currently above the Kijun-sen (red base line) but has dipped below the Tenkan-sen (blue conversion line), signaling weakening short-term momentum.
The flattening Tenkan-sen and price behavior suggest possible consolidation or the early stages of a pullback. Still, with the price holding above the Kijun-sen, medium-term support remains intact.

The overall Ichimoku structure remains bullish, with a thick, rising cloud and leading span A well above span B—indicating strong underlying support.
If Solana finds support at the Kijun-sen and climbs back above the Tenkan-sen, the uptrend could regain strength; otherwise, a test of the cloud’s upper boundary may follow.

Meanwhile, Solana’s BBTrend is currently at 6, extending nearly ten days in positive territory after peaking at 17.5 on April 14. The recent increase from 4.26 to 6 suggests renewed bullish momentum following a brief cooldown.
BBTrend, or Bollinger Band Trend, tracks the strength of price movement based on Bollinger Band expansion.
Positive values like the current one point to an active uptrend, and if the BBTrend continues to rise, it could signal stronger momentum and potential for another upward move.
Solana Dominates DEX Volume and Fee Generation as Meme Coins Drive Ecosystem Growth
Solana has once again claimed the top spot among all chains in DEX volume, recording $15.15 billion over the past seven days. The combined total of Ethereum, BNB, Base, and Arbitrum reached $22.7 billion.

In the last 24 hours alone, Solana saw $1.67 billion in volume, largely fueled by its booming meme coin ecosystem and the ongoing launchpad battle between PumpFun and Raydium. Adding to this good momentum, Solana recently surpassed Ethereum in Staking Market Cap.

When it comes to application fees, Solana’s momentum is just as clear. Four of the top ten fee-generating apps over the past week—PumpFun, Jupiter, Jito, and Meteora—are Solana-focused.
Pump leads the pack with nearly $18 million in fees alone.
Solana Breaks Key Resistance as Uptrend Targets Higher Levels, but Risks Remain
Solana has finally broken above its key resistance at $136, flipping it into a new support level that was successfully tested just yesterday.
Its EMA lines remain aligned in a bullish setup, suggesting the uptrend is still intact.
If this momentum continues, SOL price could aim for the next resistance zones at $147 and $152—levels that, if breached, open the door to a potential move toward $179.

The current structure favors buyers, with higher lows and strong support reinforcing the trend.
However, if momentum fades, a retest of the $136 support is likely.
A breakdown below that level could shift sentiment, exposing Solana to deeper pullbacks toward $124 and even $112.

Crypto Firms Donated $85 million in Trump’s Inauguration

According to a new report, 15 firms and individuals from the crypto industry donated more than $100,000 to President Trump’s Inauguration, totaling over $85 million.
Almost all of these companies apparently received direct or indirect benefits from Trump’s administration. This includes dropped legal proceedings, lucrative business partnerships, participation in Trump’s Crypto Summit, and more.
Crypto Industry Went All-In on Trump’s Inauguration
Since promising to bring friendlier regulations on the campaign trail, Donald Trump attracted a reputation as the Crypto President.
Trump’s Inauguration festivities included a “Crypto Ball,” and several prominent firms made donations for these events. Today, a report has compiled all crypto-related contributions of over $100,000, revealing some interesting facts.

Since taking office, President Trump and his family have been allegedly involved in prominent crypto controversies, and these donations may be linked to several of them.
For example, eight of the donors, Coinbase, Crypto.com, Uniswap, Yuga Labs, Kraken, Ripple, Robinhood, and Consensys, had SEC investigations or lawsuits against them closed since Trump’s term began.
The commission might have dropped its probe against these companies anyway due to its changing stance on crypto enforcement. However, being in the President’s good books likely helped the process.
Further Alleged Benefits for Donors
In other words, nearly half the firms that made donations to Trump’s Inauguration have seen their legal problems cleared up quickly. This isn’t the only regulation-related benefit they allegedly received.
Circle, for example, recently made an IPO after openly stating that Trump’s Presidency made it possible. Galaxy Digital received SEC approval for a major reorganization, a key step for a NASDAQ listing.
Other donors, such as Crypto.com and ONDO, got more direct financial partnerships with businesses associated with the Trump family.
Previously, Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, anticipated a crypto bull market under Trump. Also, XRP, Solana, and Cardano were all unexpectedly included in the US Crypto Reserve announcement.
All three of these companies made major donations to Trump’s Inauguration.
It seems that most of the firms involved got at least some sort of noticeable benefit from these donations. Donors like Multicoin and Paradigm received invitations to Trump’s Crypto Summit, while much more prominent groups like the Ethereum Foundation got snubbed.
Meanwhile, various industry KOLs and community members have already alleged major corruption in Trump’s crypto connections.
While some allegations might lack substantial proof, the crypto space has changed dramatically under the new administration, for both good and bad.
