Bot Fees & Chain Breakdown
This past week (1st December to 7th December), Banana Gun pulled in $55,619 in total fees. After last week's $39,579, we're up 41%.
Two green weeks in a row, and this one had some real teeth. The jungle is waking up. 🦍
Chain Breakdown & Week-over-Week:
🟡 BSC: $20,353 (~37%) | Previous Week: $8,858 BSC exploded for 130% growth and stole the crown. The retail apes came roaring back with heavy days on the 3rd ($5,105), 6th ($5,672), and 7th ($5,196). When BSC decides to move, it really moves.
🟣 SOL: $21,958 (~39%) | Previous Week: $21,149 Solana grew 4% and stayed consistent all week. Never dropped below $2.4k on any single day, with a peak of $4,450 on the 6th. Steady, reliable, and still bringing the energy. That's SOL for you.
🔷 ETH: $10,015 (~18%) | Previous Week: $10,634 Ethereum slipped 6%, essentially flat. Had a couple solid days (3rd and 6th breaking $2k+), but otherwise kept things chill. Smart money is still moving, just not in a hurry.
🔵 BASE: $2,233 (~4%) | Previous Week: $2,180 BASE barely budged, up 2%. The L2 is unable to find momentum while other chains are heating up. Still waiting for its moment.
🌐 Others: $1,060 (~2%) Virtual routers and other chains contributing small amounts, but it adds up.
Total fees: $55,619 (vs. $39,579 last week)
Two consecutive green weeks, a 41% jump, and we're back above $50k in fees for the first time since mid-November. The 6th was particularly spicy with $13,223 in a single day, our best performance in over a month.
The volume is returning. Traders are regaining confidence. The market shows signs of life across multiple chains simultaneously, and that's exactly what we want to see.
As always, 40% goes straight back to holders.

Development Updates
No big releases this week, but the devs definitely didn’t step outside or discover what sunlight looks like. The long-term builds are still being refined, stress-tested and over-engineered the Banana Gun way.
Nothing shipped to the front end, but the kitchen is busy and the pots are boiling.
The team is deep in the bigger features that take time: the kind of work that doesn’t show up as a new button on your screen yet, but eventually changes the whole platform. Nobody is touching grass anytime soon.
When it’s ready, you’ll know.

Market Insights
The week opened with a familiar heavyweight stepping onto the field, as BlackRock filed for its iShares Staked Ethereum Trust. The product would track ETH while distributing staking rewards, which is kind of like Wall Street deciding it also wants yield season.
The request is now in the SEC’s hands, and with the current mood in Washington looking far more relaxed toward crypto, the industry is already wondering how quickly this could turn into the new institutional benchmark.
Bitcoin faced a tougher time. Coinbase pointed to a mix of macro pressure, weak sentiment and BTC trading far below its recent averages. Despite that, their research team is looking at December with cautious optimism.
The upcoming FED meeting could introduce the first rate cut in a long time, and there is a mountain of money sitting idle in money-market funds that could easily shift the tone if narratives improve. Even the forced selling in BTC appears to be slowing down, which is often the kind of setup that precedes sharp moves.
And then there was Binance, which delivered the plot twist of the week. An internal audit flagged a suspected insider who allegedly used official channels to promote a newly issued token right after its creation.
The funniest part is that the token was themed around a “year of the yellow fruit”, which feels almost poetic for us. 🍌
Only in crypto can a fruit-themed mini-scandal pump even harder after being exposed.
Altogether the market looks like it is gathering energy rather than cooling off. Institutions are lining up new products, macro catalysts are approaching and retail attention is rising again.

Community Highlights
The community had plenty to say this week, and subtlety was definitely not on the menu.
@cryptojack4u is already manifesting long-term glory, casually dropping a price target like he’s reading next year’s script. Confidence levels remain high.
Meanwhile @mrbananabull went for a different kind of persuasion and asked the fudders a simple question: “have you ever actually tried a banana?”
@SurgeArmy delivered the more serious breakdown, reminding everyone that product strength is carrying the story. Faster trades, smoother UI and nonstop updates are starting to land. With Banana Pro returning to EVM and a New Year’s burn funded directly by the project, the idea of a major shift no longer feels far-fetched.
The jungle stays loud for a reason.
See you next recap. 🍌
