TLDR:
🍌 $138K in bot fees: slower week, but the jungle never sleeps.
🔵 BASE led with $56K, holding strong while others cooled off.
🟣 SOL was the surprise: up 22% when everything else dipped.
🛠️ Devs polished hard: faster charts, smoother UI, new topbar, fewer crashes.
⚙️ Big builds still cooking: Trenches V3, Wallet V2, BananaPro data overhaul.
🌍 Uptober went red, but on-chain volume hit ATHs: real ones keep building.
This past week (27th October - 2nd November), Banana Gun pulled in $138,788 in total fees. The jungle's cooling off, but that's how crypto moves: peaks, valleys, and everything in between. 🦍
Bot Fees & Chain Breakdown
🟡 BSC: $37,760 (~27%) | Previous Week: $91,668
Ouch. BSC took a 59% haircut this week. The retail apes who were going absolutely nuclear before, are now taking a breather. Volume is lighter, but the chain still shows up when it counts.
🔷 ETH: $13,037 (~9%) | Previous Week: $24,090
Down 46% on Ethereum. The smart money is still here, just moving quieter. Classic ETH behavior: steady until it's not.
🟣 SOL: $30,380 (~22%) | Previous Week: $24,905
Wait, hold up. Solana actually grew 22% week over week? Yep. While everything else pulled back, Solana traders kept the energy alive. Respect.
🔵 BASE: $56,280 (~41%) | Previous Week: $101,336
BASE dropped 44%, giving back some of last week's monster performance.
Still holding the biggest slice of the pie though. The L2 flow isn't going anywhere, just catching its breath after a solid run.
Total fees: $138,788
Look, we're not going to sugarcoat it: this week was slower. After the solid fees we had last week ($242,780), we're down about 43%.
Apes come and go, and volatility takes vacations. But we're still here, still shipping. 🍌

Development Updates
Another release cycle in the books. Anything that didn't spark joy (or function nicely), got fixed. Because a slick interface means nothing if the buttons don't button and the dropdowns don't drop.
What Got Better:
App-Wide Cleanup:
The team combed through the entire platform and tightened everything up. Dropdowns now respect their size limits, tab margins actually align, hover effects respond like they should, input fields flow smoother, and draggable dialogs finally learned some manners. Overlays got tweaked for cleaner transitions too.
Oh, and we killed two bugs that were causing headaches: one that randomly crashed the app (rude) and another messing with platform loading. Gone. Banished to the shadow realm.
Charts Adjustment:
Big moves here. We swapped in a new charting library that renders faster and looks sharper. Those stubborn average price lines that wouldn't behave? Fixed. The whole thing feels noticeably snappier now. Charts shouldn't lag, period.
Wallet Section Refresh:
The wallet generation flow got a makeover. We cleaned up the import path and refined the styling so everything feels more consistent and intuitive. Small changes, big difference when you're using it daily.
Wallet Tracker:
Those filtering issues people reported? Squashed. The tracker now works exactly how it's supposed to. No more weirdness.
Layout & Navigation Upgrades:
We rolled out a redesigned topbar that makes the whole layout feel tighter and more intuitive. Behind that, we fixed a bunch of layout bugs, sorted out visibility issues, and refined how new workspaces and draggable windows behave. Everything moves and resizes smoothly now.
Transactions & Referral Fixes:
Transactions sorting was broken. Now it's not. The referral page had a bug stopping you from updating your code twice. Also fixed. Plus, we upgraded the referral logic on the backend (the kind of work you don't see but absolutely feel when everything just works).
Technical Housekeeping:
Every week, we're in the code improving things you'll never notice but would definitely miss if we didn't do them. This cycle focused on reconnection logic and cleaning out dead code. Boring work? Sure. Essential work? Absolutely.
What's Cooking Next:
The big builds are still in progress and moving forward:
- BananaPro's new data source
- Trenches V3
- Wallet V2
We're not rushing. We're building right. Smooth experience now, bigger upgrades soon.

Market Insights
So much for “Uptober”.
The green month everyone was counting on turned into a chart full of red candles. Bitcoin slipped below 105k, ETH lost over 16%, and the market as a whole took a breath.
But while prices cooled, activity didn’t.
DEX volume just hit an all-time high at over $613 billion in October, with Uniswap and PancakeSwap leading the charge. Traders didn’t disappear; they just moved on-chain, chasing new narratives on BSC and Base.
Stablecoin activity followed the same rhythm, reaching a record $2.8 trillion in volume on Ethereum alone. That’s not bearish behavior, it’s capital rotating, waiting for the next run.
At the same time, the Fed cut rates again, but Powell sounded far from confident. Two members voted against the move, and uncertainty is back in the air. Lower rates might help liquidity, but the tone coming out of Washington feels cautious.
And yet, during all that, Solana ETF launches stole the show. Bitwise’s BSOL pulled in $200 million in just a few days, proving that even in a shaky market, fresh narratives can light up the room. With staking built right into the ETFs, Solana just redefined how “passive” crypto investing can be.
So, Uptober didn’t deliver the pump, but the pieces are moving quietly. On-chain traders are alive, liquidity is shifting, and the next wave of products is already gathering steam.
It’s less about green candles right now and more about positioning for when they come back.

Community Highlights
The jungle has got jokes and conviction this week.
@SurgeArmy summed it up perfectly: Banana doesn’t chase the meta, we find it. Wherever the charts get crazy, Banana is already there printing.
@LorrieMich22908 kept it simple: when the liquidity flows, Banana cooks.
No chain bias, we are agnostic.
See you next recap. 🍌
