The Solana trading landscape is rigged. You're not actually rewarding skilled traders—you're handing profits to bundlers, insiders and connected KOLs who'll naturally dominate those leaderboards. Here's the thing: if you're grinding as a Solana trader or trencher, you already know the game feels stacked. All these launchpads keep rolling out initiatives that look groundbreaking in the press release, but on the ground? They're just another layer of gatekeeping. The real traders get squeezed out while the already-connected capture the upside. Until the mechanism actually levels the playing field, the announcement hype doesn't change what's broken.
