Official announcements and updates from the Eclipse DAO
SOLANA — The Eclipse DAO is thrilled (and slightly bewildered) to announce the official launch of the Useless Token on the Solana blockchain. This strategic expansion marks a significant step in reasserting the original Useless brand's presence and identity in the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.
A substantial 30% (300 million) of the initial total supply of Useless on Solana is earmarked for the dedicated Useless community. This allocation will be distributed to holders of Useless v4 on BSC, proportional to their holdings. Math = hard, tokens you can claim = good.
The launch on moon.it was a 750 SOL event, characterized by a flat curve to make sure that early buyers didn't gobble up too much of a percent, with the goal of a fair and transparent distribution from the outset. While we can't comment much on price (because, you know, lawyers), we are hopeful that things are settling now after the feeding frenzy shithole of bots/snipers, and that the initial launch jitters are over with. DEX fees on Meteora are earmarked for the DAO's war chest, and the fees decrease with low volume and with the passage of time.
The bridge and airdrop/claim mechanisms are currently under development. More detailed information regarding the technical specifics and claiming process will be released as soon as we stop arguing about the best way to implement it and actually finish the code.
The Eclipse DAO is committed to defending its legitimate heritage and reasserting its rightful place in the crypto space, and while derivative tokens and memes are fun, pretending you're another existing token is another matter entirely.
"We have every right to be here, and we're here to stay, and we're not going anywhere," said David 'Carc' Wyly from the Eclipse DAO, who is still trying to stay anonymous (but we won't let him). "First they ignore you, then they mock you, then they play the victim, then they fight you, then you win. Mark my words."
"Sometimes the most useless thing you can do is let people steal your identity, I guess?"
This expansion to Solana reinforces our commitment to our community and our brand, while also serving as a gentle reminder to copycats that we've started dialing some lawyers, even if we chickened out at the last minute because COVID-19 ruined our ability to talk to people.
The Eclipse DAO is the governing body behind both the Eclipse and Useless token ecosystems. Founded in 2023 as the community-driven evolution of the original Useless project, the DAO has maintained continuous operations and development through multiple market cycles, several existential crises, and at least three occasions where we seriously considered just giving up and becoming a food truck business instead.
Recently, we have filed for trademarks for both the Useless name and logo, reasserting our right to maintain our historic brand identity. Yes, we actually trademarked "Useless," and no, the irony is not lost on us. We don't like waging war, but you can't have a brand if you don't defend it.
If you're skeptical (and you should be, this is crypto after all), all claims regarding the project's history and holder lineage can be independently verified through blockchain records and archived community communications. The Eclipse DAO maintains comprehensive documentation of its evolution from the original Useless v1 launch. We've got receipts, they're on the blockchain, and we're not afraid to use them. We also have a stockpile of Useless merch from years ago (seriously, drop in our discord and ask for proof, and we'll bury you in vintage Useless swag).
