TLDR:
🍌 $73K in bot fees: slowest week in a while, but nothing unusual for this market.
🟣 SOL led with $27K, holding momentum while others cooled off.
🔷 ETH was the surprise bounce, up 49% week over week.
🛠️ Devs shipped speed boosts, cleaner trenches, and a sharper Copy Trade widget.
⚙️ Big builds still moving: Trenches V3, Wallet V2, BananaPro data work.
🌍 ETFs saw heavy outflows, but BTC, ETH, and builders kept their footing.
This past week (3rd November to 9th November), Banana Gun pulled in $73,804 in total fees. After last week's $138,788, we're down 47%. The market's in a quieter mood, and the numbers reflect that. No drama, just reality. 🦍
Bot Fees & Chain Breakdown
Chain Breakdown & Week-over-Week:
🟡 BSC: $16,892 (~23%) | Previous Week: $37,760
BSC dropped 55% this week. The retail flow that was already cooling off kept cooling. Volume is light, but the apes still trading here are serious ones.
🔷 ETH: $19,375 (~26%) | Previous Week: $13,037
Hold on. Ethereum actually grew 49% week over week?
While other chains slowed down, some ETH traders came back with conviction: that's the kind of reversal you like to see.
🟣 SOL: $27,655 (~37%) | Previous Week: $30,380
Solana dipped 9%, that's basically flat in crypto terms. SOL kept the momentum going and held the biggest slice of the pie this week.
The chaos gremlins are consistent, we'll give them that.
🔵 BASE: $9,421 (~13%) | Previous Week: $56,280
Ouch. BASE took an 83% haircut. After dominating last week, the L2 flow dried up hard. When BASE goes quiet, it really goes quiet. We'll see if it bounces back next week.
Total fees: $73,804 (vs. $138,788 last week)
Let's be real: this week was rough. Down 47% from an already slower week means the market is taking its time. But here's the thing: we've been through worse, and we'll be through better.
Crypto doesn't move in straight lines, but we keep building.

Development Updates
Another week, another batch of Banana Pro upgrades. If it helps you trade faster, click smoother, or rage less at your screen, it got attention.
Wallet & Trenches Speed Boost
Trenches loading got a noticeable speed upgrade this week. Everything pops in quicker than it did last cycle, so you can move through positions without waiting for the app to catch up.
Wallet Tracker Improvements
The reload logic behind wallet data got rewired under the hood. No visual changes here, just a cleaner and more predictable flow when your tracker updates.
Trenches UI Polish
We tightened up the wallet tracker presentation in Trenches. Unified data formatting, cleaner alignment, and consistent spacing across all columns. Everything finally lines up like it means it.
Top Header Overhaul
The top navigation is getting rebuilt piece by piece. This week we focused on positioning tweaks, fixing an avatar-update issue, updating the logo and its transparency, and refining header font styling.
We also shifted navigation to the top-right corner and improved wallet visualization in the header.
Copy Trade Widget Refresh
The new Copy Trade widget got more visual and UX refinement. The layout feels cleaner, and interactions flow better all around.
What’s Next
More upgrades are already lined up. Same mission: smoother, faster, cleaner.

Market Insights
This week felt like the market was stuck in neutral, but a lot was happening under the surface. Spot ETFs in the US just posted their worst week since February with over $1.7 billion in outflows, yet bitcoin and ETH barely flinched.
On the macro side, the US shutdown finally looks close to ending. The Senate approved a deal to reopen the government into early 2026, and crypto reacted instantly. Bitcoin bounced, ETH followed, and the majors turned green. It wasn’t a euphoric move, just a release of pressure, but in this market even a small shift can reset momentum.
Meanwhile, BitMine is going full accumulation mode. They picked up another 110,000 ETH this week and now control 3.5 million ETH, or roughly 2.9% of the total supply. Thomas Lee keeps talking about the “alchemy of 5 percent” and at this point it is not theoretical anymore. Some players accumulate in silence while the timeline worries about red candles.
Then Coinbase dropped a real curveball: a new public token sale platform that brings ICO-style launches back to the US for the first time since 2018. Monad will be the first sale, with a structured system aimed at broad distribution instead of whale sniping. With the Echo acquisition as the backdrop, Coinbase is rebuilding early-cycle infrastructure right in front of everyone.
So Uptober didn’t deliver the rally people wanted, but the foundation is shifting. Government reopening, corporate ETH accumulation, growing non-US inflows, and token sales returning to the US all point to a market preparing for its next phase. The charts look sleepy, but the building hasn’t stopped.

Community Highlights
The jungle stayed loud this week, even with the charts looking sleepy.
@graciousoymilk set the tone, reminding everyone that momentum can cool off but real effort shows through. The builders build, the believers notice.
@SurgeArmy kept the conviction flowing with that classic “when it’s quiet, pay attention” energy. Only the real ones stay focused on the long game.
