Bot Fees & Chain Breakdown
No fireworks like two weeks ago, but volume stayed solid across every chain. Builders build, traders trade, and we keep building. 🍌
🟡 BSC: $91,668 (~38%)
After its monster streak, BSC cooled off a bit but still held a big share of the action.
The chain’s grip on retail flow remains strong: fewer apes, but the ones aping here are serious.
🔷 ETH: $24,090 (~10%)
Ethereum did its usual thing: consistent and measured, not too loud. Smart money never fully sleeps here.
🟣 SOL: $24,905 (~10%)
Solana stayed volatile as ever, swinging between bursts of activity and sudden naps.
Still, the banana monkeys on SOL keep the charts interesting. 🐒
🔵 BASE: $101,336 (~42%)
Base stole the spotlight this week, taking the biggest slice of the pie.
The flow’s getting thicker here: traders clearly like what they see.
Total fees: $242,780
As always, 40% goes straight back to holders.

Development Updates
The Banana devs are in their refinement arc: working on even more behind the scenes magic, and with two new devs joining the ranks, the upgrades are coming in hotter than ever.
Their goal: making everything feel smoother, lighter, and faster.
This week’s release focused on optimization, polish, and a few sneaky upgrades that make the platform feel much sharper.
The whole app got tweaked: confirmation buttons now look cleaner, filters scroll better, and the platform remembers your selected chain when hopping from Trenches to Trade.
Even hover states got some corrections: smoother transitions, neater icons, and tighter alignment everywhere.
A brand-new PnL popup (v2) landed in the Top Holders and Top Traders tables with more info, better design, zero clutter.
The Referral page no longer crashes, and the Token Info, Chart, and Transactions sections all got a solid speed boost. Charts also stopped fighting long token names (peace has been restored).
Elsewhere, the Search box got resized and translated properly, and CopyTrading now has a unified UI for empty states. The Wallet Tracker learned to behave too: no more rogue scrollbars, and it actually remembers your column settings now.
On the technical side, the devs tightened event tracking and cleaned up console errors in the chart widget. It’s the kind of work you don’t see, but you definitely feel.
Meanwhile, the next big builds are already brewing: BananaPro’s new data source, Trenches V3, and Wallet V2 are officially in development.

Market Insights
Feels like we’re moving into that part of the cycle where everything’s winding up before the next big move. The big players aren’t testing the waters anymore, they’re building empires. Between Coinbase, the explosion of perps, and Trump’s new crypto ballroom, the line between finance, politics, and pure degen madness is getting pretty blurry.
JPMorgan just dropped a wild report saying Coinbase’s Base token could unlock up to $34 billion in value. Basically, if Coinbase is already running half the onchain rails, why not own a piece of it too? Add in the new USDC yield changes and their built-in DEX aggregator, and it’s clear they’re trying to profit on every part of the trade: both CeFi and DeFi.
At the same time, on-chain perps are going crazy, passing $1 trillion in monthly volume. Hyperliquid, Aster, and others are pulling traders away from centralized exchanges fast. The more volume goes on-chain, the more it helps networks like Base, which makes Coinbase’s timing look almost perfect.
And then there’s Trump, who’s literally building a $300 million ballroom at the White House with funding from Coinbase, Ripple, and Tether. It’s wild: the industry that used to fight for legitimacy is now writing checks straight to Washington.
It might look chaotic now, but in hindsight this all might feel like the setup before the real wave hits. 🍌

Community Highlights
The jungle energy shifted this week: conviction got even stronger. You could feel that quiet confidence that usually comes before something big.
@TheMonteDev spoke for half the community: frustration mixing with faith.
Degens call it “copium”, the real ones call it patience.
@Nam_1r reminded everyone that nothing’s really changed: the builders are still here, the mission is still clear, and when the hype comes back, it will come back hard.
@CryptoWizardd didn’t overthink it. He just kept stacking.
Builders keep building, believers keep believing. The jungle never sleeps.
See you next recap. 🍌
