Cash + $APL prize pools for memes + leaderboard.
The mid-June community competition has two tracks — memes + leaderboard. Prize pools are paid in SOL + $APL allocations. Sitting in $APL during the competition means you have the entry token to all tracks + the value upside as the competition drives engagement.
Solana memecoins move faster than ETH cycles — txn fees are pennies, confirmations are 400ms. Bridge a slice of ETH → SOL via deBridge or Wormhole, get Phantom, dip into $APL on the bonding curve. Treat it like an iteration vehicle.
