This move will enable the DAO to engage in public goods funding and fulfill its mission of developing Jupiverse. 8. Solana Memecoin Project Slerf Claims Accidental Deletion of LP and Airdrop Tokens link On March 18th, the Solana Memecoin project Slerf announced that due to inadvertent actions, all LP and airdrop tokens were accidentally destroyed, and since the minting permission had been revoked, new tokens could not be minted. This implies that presale investors will not receive tokens and will not be able to get SOL refunds. Slerf (HdENn8…HgNAsF) raised over 50,000 SOL, exceeding $10 million. On-chain data shows that the intended 500 million SLERF tokens for presale airdrop were burned by HdENn8…HgNAsF. After its fundraising was destroyed, Slerf unexpectedly saw a tremendous surge. On March 19th, Slerf surpassed BOME in market value, becoming the eighth largest MEMECOIN with a valuation of $612 million. On March 19th, Slerf collaborated with LBank exchange to launch a donation campaign to compensate all participants in the Slerf private sale. After Slerf and the LBank team initiated donations to users who participated in Slerf’s private sale, nearly 4,000 SOL was raised within 24 hours. According to on-chain data, 3,800 SOL has been successfully refunded, with the recipients being small-scale users who participated early in the Slerf fundraising. On March 21st, Slerf announced plans to airdrop Soul-Bound NFTs to the wallets of affected presale participants and refund contributors. 9.
