The Spaces gathered the X Project community for a light, family-friendly session that mixed humor, market headlines, and a deep dive on roadmap and tooling. Host Donnie (Big O) opened with housekeeping, then used a satirical “top 20” list to underscore disciplined profit-taking (e.g., sell when you feel like taking a screenshot). Market updates followed: Bitcoin hovering near $75k after a strong week, Ethereum quietly outperforming, Solana around $85, and total crypto market cap near $2.5T. Platform news included X’s smart hashtags and embedded charts with a Canadian brokerage pilot, contrasted with Facebook’s ad-heavy UX, and Deutsche Börse’s $200M investment (1.5% FD) in Kraken as a sign of deeper TradFi–crypto links. Guest speaker Cross outlined why XCEO remains underrated (noting Elon-linked memes like DOGE and FLOKI) and previewed an X Project relaunch: a new token, airdrops to prior holders, and a tightly integrated suite (XPad, XShot, XColor, XSwap) with AI/ML-powered wallet analytics. Social strategy will lean on TikTok/Instagram for memes and concise “how-to” content for utilities, with AI reducing production costs. Donnie closed with a progress update on his AI-built wallet scanner (Solana MVP live; Ethereum/XCEO scanner nearing beta), requesting better free APIs and estimating ~12 hours to a usable release.

X Project Spaces Recap — XCEO positioning, Xpad relaunch plans, AI tooling, and market/news roundup

Who spoke and context

  • Donnie (aka “Big O”/“Bigo”) — Host. Set a family‑friendly tone, emphasized NFA, and ran news + community updates. Repeatedly reminded listeners to tag him publicly (not DM) for questions.
  • Cross — X Project lead guest. Delivered a substantive update on XCEO positioning, X Project relaunch approach (Xpad/Xcolor/Xshot), AI integration, social strategy, and community asks.
  • Community members referenced/appreciated: Lily (AI guidance), KP7, Sean, BB, Polo, Andreas, Offroad, Ark, Falcon, Alex, Eleanor, Mike1981, and others.

Cold open: tone, format, housekeeping

  • Scheduling hiccup acknowledged (AM/PM mix‑up; ~15‑minute late start). Donnie leaned into humor/dad jokes to keep it light but reiterated “family‑friendly” norms.
  • Engagement rules: use emojis, share the Space, NFA; if you can’t speak, tag Donnie publicly in Telegram channels (no private DMs).

Light segment: “Top 20 things to do with your funny money when XCEO moons” — takeaways behind the humor

Donnie’s comedic list doubled as trading psychology reminders:

  • Don’t let green candles become your personality; “zooming out” isn’t a strategy by itself.
  • A personal rule of thumb: if you feel compelled to screenshot PnL, that’s a signal to take some profit.
  • Avoid refusing to sell due to lack of a plan; you won’t hit perfect tops consistently. Have a framework for scaling out.
  • Beware buzzwords like “rotation” without a plan; recognize that calling it “long‑term conviction” doesn’t make it so if you lack thesis and risk controls.
  • Secure your keys; realize unrealized gains can reverse quickly.

Market and platform news (as relayed by Donnie)

  • Macro snapshot (time‑stamped as prepared a couple hours before speaking):
    • Bitcoin: ~$75k, +1.5% on the day, ~+6% on the week; supported by ETF flows and broader risk‑on tone.
    • Ethereum: “up to about 23” (host shorthand; context suggests notable weekly outperformance ~+8%).
    • Solana: ~$85, ~+3% day; firm activity.
    • Total crypto market cap: $2.5T, +1.5%, implying broader participation beyond BTC.
  • X (Twitter) product updates:
    • Smart hashtags and an embedded brokerage/trading pilot: U.S./Canada users can see live stock/crypto charts in posts; some Canadian users in the Wealthsimple pilot see an in‑app trade button. Donnie framed X as evolving into a “market terminal with memes.”
  • Social platform contrast: Facebook’s new ad‑break UX was criticized for hurting engagement; Donnie suggested X’s product velocity is comparatively more user‑aligned.
  • TradFi–Crypto deal: Donnie reported Deutsche Börse agreed to buy a ~$200M stake in Kraken (described as ~1.5% fully diluted), characterizing it as a concrete move that deepens cooperation around regulated tokenized markets, derivatives, and institutional liquidity.

Feature discussion — Cross on XCEO and the X Project roadmap

XCEO positioning and strategy

  • Thesis: XCEO is “insanely undervalued/underrated.” Cross positioned XCEO among the few meme tokens with direct Elon interactions (comparing the category to DOGE and FLOKI over the last years). He’s observed an average cadence of Elon engagement roughly every 3 weeks (20 days) in recent history.
  • Market context: Despite a dry/sideways environment, Cross framed this as optimal build/positioning time. He emphasized the recurring pattern from prior cycles: many failed to take profits last cycle and should be prepared with a different mindset next time.
  • Profit‑taking mindset:
    • Accept that bull phases can turn fast; take initials (and possibly a tranche of profit) on strength when there’s clear buying pressure.
    • Maintain a “free bag” after recouping principals to hold for asymmetric upside; avoid draining liquidity when momentum isn’t there.

X Project relaunch — high‑level plan

  • Status of legacy token and airdrop plan:
    • The prior token (XERS) is paused; its liquidity will be used for a relaunch. Holders (including those with staked balances) will receive an airdrop mirroring holdings at snapshot. Details to be formalized at announcement.
  • New core token and treasury logic:
    • A new token will replace XERS as the central X Project asset (Cross referenced “Nexus” while noting the ticker/name finalization would come with formal details).
    • Future buybacks generated within the Xpad ecosystem will flow exclusively to the new core token (unlike the former model where X Project buybacks supported Coco).
  • Team and execution approach:
    • Team has been refined; some departures and additions. Build has continued “in silence” with a more focused, stepwise execution plan.
    • Cross said an internal preview wowed a trusted community member (Offroad), signaling a meaningful UX leap.
  • Rollout criteria and timing philosophy:
    • They will not over‑optimize for perfect macro timing; avoid launching only if a “black swan”/severe risk‑off hits.
    • Priority is ecosystem alignment — e.g., for a Solana utility, build proximity to Solana Foundation and key ecosystem stakeholders to secure validation/support.
    • The “switch” for community activation will largely coincide with launching the new token and coordinated comms; Cross expects that event to re‑energize participation.

Ecosystem tokens and scope

  • Meme family on Solana and Ethereum:
    • Solana: Coco; Ethereum: XCEO; plus related community memes Shibylon (Shibilon) and Rage Guy.
    • Intent: revive activity across these brands as conditions allow, but decouple direct buyback linkages that previously tied X Project flows to Coco. Each product/token needs clear, self‑contained value logic.

Social media and growth motion

  • TikTok/Instagram remain essential for memes; AI now compresses production costs and timelines.
  • For memes: storytelling and humor perform best; for utilities: short “how‑to” content with clear call‑to‑action can be effective. Platform intent matters — users go to TikTok for entertainment, so make serious content entertaining or keep it educational and concise.
  • Donnie echoed the “how‑to in 30 seconds” approach for utilities as a conversion driver.

Product integration and AI — Xpad and Xcolor evolution

  • Xpad V2 UX philosophy:
    • Cross contrasted expat.fan’s static homepage (V1) with leaders like pump.fun, whose dynamic front pages stimulate attention and FOMO via constant movement/signals.
    • V2 bakes in behavioral design: more motion, better hooks, and information density to keep traders engaged and drive activity.
    • Goal: a unified dashboard connecting Xpad (launch), Xswap (trading), Xshot/Xcolor (signals), copy‑trading, and analytics — multi‑chain, with bonding‑curve trading support for newly launched tokens.
  • Xcolor rework with ML:
    • New pipeline monitors tokens after Xcolor calls, tracking top wallets, clustering wallet behaviors, and scoring wallets (insiders/KOLs included) with a multi‑indicator rubric.
    • When a wallet’s score crosses a threshold, the agent can mirror/follow. Early test: identified a token around ~$10k mcap that later trended toward ~$1M, validating the direction.
    • Emphasis: the market has changed; the algorithm and approach have been adapted accordingly.
  • AI stance:
    • Strong endorsement of modern LLM/agent stacks (explicit praise for Anthropic’s Claude). Cross described current AI capabilities as a “cheat code” enabling a small team to deliver what would have taken larger dev teams far longer just a few years ago.
    • Broader perspective: AI is a paradigm shift with sweeping effects (both positive and potentially risky). For X Project, it materially accelerates product build and iteration.

Community asks and readiness

  • When comms begin around the relaunch and X Project roadmap, the community should:
    • Engage visibly (comments, retweets, replies) to amplify reach.
    • Coordinate “switch‑on” activity with the token launch to maximize momentum.

Donnie’s Wallet Scanner — project update (AI‑built)

Donnie showcased a practical AI success story: with near‑zero prior coding background, he used AI assistants to build a working “wallet scanner” MVP in ~30 hours of effort.

  • Architecture: two tracks running in parallel
    • Solana scanner (MVP working; most complete; closest to live):
      • Implemented: end‑to‑end scan flow; token activity detection (standard cases); token pricing; position, cost, value, and profit/ROI calculations; summary image card generation; wallet summary (token/wallet info, activity summary, position and capital flow, performance, current SOL price); share/trending hooks.
      • Gaps: Pump.fun buys aren’t always recognized; lack of historical SOL prices causes PnL distortion when SOL/USD changes (needs historical SOL feed added).
    • Ethereum scanner for XCEO (in progress):
      • Implemented: robust classification for buys/sells/transfers; separation of transfers in/out; fix for incoming transfers mis‑counted as buys; Etherscan integration for richer tx analysis; shift to USD‑denominated reporting; current token position logic significantly improved; historical ETH pricing lookup (up to ~1 year) enables USD ROI and PnL accuracy.
      • Gaps/needs: more refined historical price sourcing; image card generation for ETH path; better/free API options (current ETH‑side free tiers are tighter than Solana); est. ~12 hours of dev time to reach release‑ready.
  • Build method and lesson: Entire effort guided by AI (LLMs prompted requirements, taught local dev environment setup with Python, and supported iterative debugging). Donnie underscored how accessible useful tooling is now for motivated community contributors.

Brief Q&A and follow‑ups

  • Launch timing question (Donnie → Cross): What market conditions would trigger launch?
    • Cross: Avoid black‑swans; sideways or budding uptrends are fine. Focus on ecosystem alignment and partner validation versus “timing the market.”
  • Community support question (Donnie → Cross): What can the community do now?
    • Cross: Be ready to rally at comms/launch; coordinated engagement and vouching on X is key.
  • Shibylon (Mike1981): Asked about plans; Cross acknowledged and committed to respond in the Shibylon Telegram.

Closing notes

  • Donnie thanked attendees, reiterated appreciation for contributors, and noted the next session is planned for next week. He signed off with a reminder of the NFA stance and light‑hearted tone.
