Co-Founder/CEO interview with Orlando from nftees.com

Press Release • October 27, 2022

Dear Orlando, thanks for taking the time to join me in this interview to educate our community on Nftees.com. Can you give us a brief introduction to you? What is your story, dating back as far as you wish?

Thank you for having me. I’m born and raised in London, England. I’ve always loved business, mainly start-ups. Before nftees I co-founded a British biscuit company called Political Confectioneries. Much like the Airbnb founders, I started with sugary political treats and somehow fell into the NFT space.


I got into the NFT space because one of the nftee shareholders Geroge came up with the idea of putting NFTs on t-shirts when he was at a Crypto convention back in 2020. The reason why he didn’t start nftees back then was because there would have been around 200 customers….max! This is when CryptoPunks were going for a few hundred dollars, so believe me there weren’t many people in the space. Anyway, George and his brother Hugo approached me about working together.


The idea was and still is simple, WEAR YOUR NFT — DRESS TO FLEX! The idea that really stuck with me was, someone could walk in a room with a Rolex or a Patek on their wrist, I’d think sh*t that’s a lovely watch. BUT if someone walked in with a CryptoPunk or a rare Bored Ape on their chest (connected to their wallet) I’d think DAMN!


This person is wearing a seriously nice t-shirt, that’s rarer than most watches, it’s completely unique and it looks badass!

Anyway, we discussed business which is that everybody owns a t-shirt and everyone will own an NFT and so there should be a company that can print a high quality, sustainable (as much as possible) garment with their NFT on it. This led to us discussing the fact that people should be able to add text, fun stickers, a QR code connected to the garment, to then wearables and now onto AR filters.


Why did you get involved in the cryptocurrency industry, and where do you think the industry will be in 5–10 years?


I got involved like most people I believe in the space; cryptocurrency and NFTs are the next step for finance, art, music, film and fashion. One of the biggest steps for me was NFT art. I was never hugely appreciative of traditional art, but NFT art, the story behind most generative art and NFT projects resonated with me. Also the space is exciting! People want to meet up, talk about new ideas and explore the impossible!

That’s amazing. Now can you give us an introduction to Nftees.com and its history?


In a nutshell, we’re a personalised NFT clothing brand pioneering digital and wearable fashion!

nftees allow NFT owners to print their NFT on a high-quality t-shirt — directly from their digital wallet. nftees allow you to either connect the physical world with digital NFTs, or connect a physical product with your own NFT.


So how does it work? When you buy an NFT, you can mint a digital and physical (soon wearable and AR) NFT garment — also known as an nftee.


An NFT holder is able to mint a physical and digital t-shirt on nftees.com — bridging the gap between digital and physical assets. This concept allows us to do the following:


● Plug the NFT “not real” hole by bringing your NFT to life!

● Give the NFT holder a way to communicate through fashion — essentially, it allows them to flex

● Plus, there is no denying that digital fashion is better for sustainability! Anyone who owns an nftee will want to keep it in mint condition for as long as possible. Essentially what we’re achieving is allowing you, the NFT holder, to connect to the NFT project you love and value.


So how did you get started with Nftees.com and why? Early on, did you see an opportunity to fill a void in the market?


As previously mentioned WEAR YOUR NFT — DRESS TO FLEX! The idea that really stuck with me was, someone could walk in a room with a Rolex or a Patek on their wrist, I’d think sh*t that’s a lovely watch. BUT if someone walked in with a CryptoPunk or a rare Bored Ape on their chest (connected to their wallet) I’d think DAMN! This person is wearing a seriously nice t-shirt, that’s rarer than most watches, it’s completely unique and it looks badass!


Yes, this is a huge opportunity to fill a void in the market. I also know that we probably won’t be the only ones to think of this, but are the first!


What has been the biggest challenges for you and Nftees.com since you started the project?

Trust, it’s got to be trust. Unfortunately in the NFT space there are a lot of people who want to hack, scam or generally exploit people. This makes it really difficult for businesses like nftees to gain the users trust. However, through the power of the NFT community we believe that we’ll be the go to site for wearing your NFT.


Understood. Now what has been your greatest achievement thus far, and what has been the biggest failure or setback personally or in the history of the company?


That’s tricky, we’ve had a lot of successes. What stands out the most to me is, the response we get from people online and in person. I’ve met a lot of people at conferences and via Twitter who have helped me spread the word. The NFT community is the best community in the world right now.

What is the next step for Nftees.com in the next 1–2 years?


Wow, tough question! If I follow our roadmap it’s to drop all our garments, hoodies, sweatshirts, jackets and things like that. We’re looking at partnering with a jewelry company as well. Then wearables, AR filters, we’d like to sponsor music videos, gaming teams and host big events for our customers. BUT, the most important thing is to listen to customer feedback, our customers and the NFT community might want other garments, cheaper shipping options, things like that.


Where can people support your business? Other than that, thank you for your time — any final words?

We’d love you to check out our website —  https://nftees.com/. Also, get involved on social — we’d love you to check out our Twitter and Instagram feeds! Thank you for taking the time to speak with us.

Wiener , a new mobile analytics platform for the Solana ecosystem, has launched globally on the Apple App Store. The app converts Solana’s continuous on-chain activity stream into a curated set of actionable signals designed for everyday market participants.  Solana’s low fees and high throughput have made it one of the busiest networks in the digital-asset sector. The same speed, however, generates an overwhelming volume of data. Wiener aims to make that information more accessible by filtering and ranking on-chain events in real time. This strategy presents only the developments most likely to influence market attention. “Most retail traders do not need more dashboards. They need clarity,” said Tetiana Kvashuk, creator of the Wiener app. “The goal is to surface meaningful events the moment they occur, without requiring users to sit inside terminals all day.” A Push-First Approach to Market Intelligence Wiener operates on a notification-driven model. Subscribers receive alerts on emerging tokens, unusual on-chain behaviour, wallet activity, and momentum changes across the Solana landscape. These signals come in real time. This means users can see how the market is moving without having to constantly check social media or analytics sites. Token profiles in the app give users quick looks at liquidity, ownership concentration, recent activity, and basic safety indicators. The layout is simple on purpose so that it is easy to read instead of having complicated charts. Advanced users can access modules such as Fresh Wallets, Good Traders, Bots, Whale Map, KOLs, and X Stats. These tools highlight newly active addresses, historically effective trading patterns, automated trading behaviour, large-holder movements, and social-driven shifts. Built for Simplicity, Independent by Design Although Wiener ingests large amounts of blockchain data, its interface is structured around a small set of metrics. This system is designed to allow for quick data interpretation, rather than overwhelming users. All buying and selling happens outside of the app on platforms that the user chooses. Wiener's published privacy policy says that it is not an exchange, wallet, or custodial service. To clarify: Wiener does not store or move crypto assets. This separation lets the project focus only on analytics and notification services. About Wiener Wiener is a mobile analytics app focused on real-time alerts and simplified on-chain insights for the Solana blockchain. The combination of continuous monitoring with structured filtering is at the core of this initiative. In fact, the app aims to help retail participants understand fast-moving markets without relying on complex trading tools. Wiener does not custody assets or execute trades and is not affiliated with the Solana Foundation. Wiener is free to download but requires a subscription to access any functionality. Plans - Basic Weekly, Premium, and Pro - are available through Apple’s in-app purchase system. Pricing varies by region; in the United States, subscriptions currently range from $3.99 per week to $17.99 per month depending on alert volume and feature access. Subscriptions renew automatically and can be managed through the user’s Apple ID settings. The Wiener app is now available for iPhone devices running iOS 13 or later. Anyone can find it under the name “Wiener” in the Finance category of the App Store. Further information is available on the project’s official website and on the social media pages listed below.

REKT, a meme token built on Solana, officially started its presale event. The project has passed three SolidProof audits and one Coinsult audit, proving that its staking and claim logic is sound. The team introduces a verified Loss Claim function, allowing traders to convert on-chain losses into $REKT. The Loss Claim Function REKT was created by a trader who lost everything, repeatedly. Instead of quitting, he built a system that turns pain into purpose. $REKT rewards what most cryptocurrencies ignore: real loss, verified on-chain. The Loss Claim feature is the main new thing about the project. The idea is to let wallets receive funds as a partial compensation for real trading losses in approved tokens. Looking at this process with a little more detail, each wallet can make one claim per month. However, such an amount can't be more than 50,000 $REKT. Also, the exact computation of the claim will depend on a so-called "portfolio multiplier". This number can grow with a) wallet age and b) staking activity, rewarding loyal holders. Strict anti-bot filters, cooldowns, and spoof protection ensure every claim is real. The Rage Claim Feature Presale tokens are auto-staked at purchase and vest linearly over six months. Early unlocks are allowed under the Rage Claim mechanism, which burns a portion of tokens based on timing: 20% in week one 15% in weeks two to three 10% in weeks four to six 5% after week six Burned amounts are redistributed: 50% to staking, 25% to treasury, and 25% to the burn wallet. Tokenomics The total supply of $REKT is fixed at 1 billion tokens. There will always be 1 billion tokens of $REKT. Fifty percent of that supply goes to the community presale, which is based on clear milestones instead of insider rounds. Another 15% is set aside for liquidity to keep the DEX stable. Also, 10% goes to the staking pool, while twenty percent goes to the treasury for growth and development. Finally, the remaining five percent goes to community projects, contests, and collaborations. There is a 1% tax on every transaction. This tax is automatically split up: 50% goes to staking rewards, 25% goes to the treasury, and 25% goes to the burn wallet. After burning 200 million $REKT, the supply reduction halts, and the tax splits evenly between staking and treasury. Roadmap The development of REKT follows a clear three-phase plan. The first stage is all about the launch and the base. Smart contracts will be put on Solana and the staking dashboard will go live. Also, SolidProof audits will check all of the systems. The second phase turns on the core logic of REKT. This includes the DEX tax system, tracking of the leaderboard, and the release of Loss Claim v2. This upgrade will come with better wallet multipliers and on-chain filters. The third phase centers on scaling and community growth. At this point, the team will launch NFT-based staking and will work for CEX outreach. Also, the official roadmap mentions more audit rounds that will complete the cycle. This milestone will mark REKT’s full transition from meme to movement. About REKT REKT is a meme token built on Solana that rewards verified losses through a whole new feature. With multiple audits, transparent vesting, and verifiable claim logic, REKT transforms trading failure into blockchain history. REKT's smart contracts have passed three full SolidProof audits and one Coinsult audit, validating both contract safety and claim logic. The upcoming presale will allow anyone to join this upcoming project with its new features. As a major highlight, REKT has recently joined a live AMA event on Binance, sharing key updates and insights with the community. The social media pages and the project’s website are a way to keep in touch with this team and with REKT's upcoming milestones: X (Twitter) | Telegram.

Secure Legion has announced the public beta release of the world’s first messaging application designed to expose zero metadata . Built entirely without servers, directories, or intermediaries, the platform delivers fully peer-to-peer communication through Tor hidden services ensuring that no third party can observe who is communicating, when, or from where. Unlike conventional messengers, Secure Legion replaces personal identifiers with Solana wallet keypairs , eliminating the need for phone numbers, emails, or any form of personal data. A New Standard for Private Communication Modern encrypted messengers secure message content but still leak metadata social graphs, contact networks, connection timestamps, and communication patterns. Platforms such as Signal, WhatsApp, and Telegram rely on servers that inherently retain traces of user behavior. Secure Legion removes this entire metadata surface through two core innovations: A completely serverless architecture that prevents any entity from storing, relaying, or analyzing message traffic. The Ping-Pong Wake protocol , a novel mechanism that delivers messages only when both parties are simultaneously online and authenticated. Because no server ever queues or registers communication attempts, observers cannot build relationship graphs or infer interaction frequency. Identity Through Solana Wallets Instead of traditional account systems, Secure Legion adopts a self-sovereign identity model : each user’s Solana keypair functions as their cryptographic identity across both messaging and blockchain-related interactions. This model reinforces privacy, reduces attack surfaces, and aligns with emerging ecosystem standards for decentralized identity. Engineered for High-Risk Environments Secure Legion is already being adopted by journalists, activists, and crypto communities operating in heavily restricted regions. The Android client integrates Tor bridges such as Snowflake , obfs4 , and meek , enabling reliable access in environments with deep packet inspection or aggressive censorship. Message delivery follows an authentication-before-delivery process, preventing message-waiting or mailbox-style analysis one of the key vulnerabilities of conventional encrypted messengers. As one Secure Legion engineer summarized: “Signal protects what you say. Secure Legion protects who you talk to.” With no servers, no timestamps, and no retained message queues, communication patterns become indistinguishable to observers. Open Source, Transparent, and Subpoena-Resistant Secure Legion is fully open source under the MIT license. All cryptographic components including XChaCha20-Poly1305 , Ed25519 , and X25519 ECDH are publicly documented and implemented without telemetry, analytics, or background data collection. The architecture is intentionally designed to be non-compliant with surveillance backdoors : “You can’t subpoena a server that doesn’t exist.” Key Features of the Public Beta Android client available at securelegion.org and on GitHub Fully peer-to-peer messaging via Tor hidden services StrongBox-backed encryption on supported devices Text and voice messaging Built-in Tor bridges for censorship resistance This beta release arrives amid growing global pressure on encrypted communications from the EU’s Chat Control proposal to the UK Online Safety Act and the US EARN IT Act. Secure Legion’s serverless architecture makes such mandates technically impossible to implement. Context in the Privacy Ecosystem Secure Legion responds to an issue long overlooked by mainstream encrypted platforms: metadata surveillance . Metadata exposes behavioral patterns, personal networks, movements, and relationships even when message content is encrypted. Compared to existing alternatives: - Session still relies on service nodes; Secure Legion removes intermediaries entirely. - Briar exposes certain network patterns; Secure Legion eliminates visible trails and peer graphs. - Signal reveals communication metadata to its servers; Secure Legion reveals nothing. The result is a platform that implements true metadata-free messaging by design a direction recently emphasized by leaders such as Vitalik Buterin in calls for permissionless accounts and privacy-preserving communication systems. About Secure Legion Secure Legion is a peer-to-peer, serverless messaging project developed by privacy engineers committed to eliminating metadata surveillance. The platform is non-commercial, open source, and designed around censorship resistance and cryptographic transparency. A formal security audit is underway. Upcoming roadmap items include group messaging, expanded privacy modes, and a desktop client. Follow the project and join the community: Official website | X (Twitter) | GitHub
