⚠️ IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ⚠️
Dear Photon Community,
Recently, there has been an increase in scam attempts targeting our users through direct messages by impersonators claiming to be members of the official Photon team.
We would like to draw your attention on how to identify an impersonator and verify whom you are talking to.
How to Identify an Impersonator?
Impersonators use a few tricks to mislead users:
1. ❌ The impersonator's Username resembles the official Photon team member Username.
Impersonators replace a few characters, making it difficult to distinguish from the official one (Pic.1).
In our example, in impersonator's Username the lowercase letter "l" is replaced with the uppercase letter "i".
2. ❌ Impersonators hide their Username and use the official Photon team member Username in the Bio (Pic.2).
✅ To verify an official Photon team member, follow these steps:
- Use the command
- Find the required Username in the list and open their profile
- Click on the "Send Message" button
After clicking the button, you will be directed to a chat with the official Photon team member.
🚫 The Photon team will NEVER initiate direct messages (DMs) or call you to ask for personal information, funds, or any other sensitive data.
We prioritize the safety and well-being of our community, and we urge you to remain vigilant against any suspicious activities or individuals attempting to exploit our project.
If you encounter any suspicious behavior or have concerns, please report it immediately to our moderation team.
Stay safe and happy trading!

[JUNE 4 - FAST <> SECURE FOR MEV PROTECTION + IMPROVEMENTS]
1️⃣Fast/Secure is an update to our existing MEV-protection options that has just exited beta.
Fast: This option will use ANY upcoming validator. If the upcoming validator is a JITO validator, bribe will be used.
You can also leave the bribe amount blank if you do not wish to have MEV protection on, and your transaction will be submitted to a non-JITO validator (MEV protection = off)
Secure: This option will ONLY use a JITO validator to ensure that your transaction is submitted as a bundle. Choose this option if you wish to have MEV-protection on (usually for larger-sized trades). Please make sure to provide an amount for bribe.
Fast <> Secure method can be toggled on under your settings.
2️⃣Improved accuracy of the estimation for Raydium AMM pools when using Quick Sell - so you can have a better idea of how much you can expect before selling your tokens
3️⃣Safari scrolling issue has now been fixed for mobile
PLEASE NOTE: We’re currently seeing that some transactions are not showing up as quickly as they should be. Our engineers are looking into this at the moment with our node providers, but we suspect that this may be related to the Solana 1.18 update that will be gradually rolled out over the next week. Will continue to keep everyone updated!
Thank you PHOTON FAM!

Hey all!
We’ve heard you loud and clear. And we know you’re confused about Photon rewards based on our last post.
Let’s clear the air…
Photon Stimmies are NOT a replacement for a potential future token drop. Stimmies are a reward on top of everything else that is coming.
Our #1 goal is to reward Photon users through multiple rounds of Stimmies, ALL before a potential token drop.
Happy trading🫡

[JUL 10 - Moonshot update + DCA orders]
1️⃣Moonshot tokens - NOW available for trading on Photon
You can now use the new filter on Memescope to show Moonshot tokens to quickly find them and start trading.
To see them on the New Pairs/Trending pages, make sure to go to Filters then select Moonshot
IMPORTANT NOTE: Moonshot tokens add slippage on top of your buy amount. This is how the Moonshot team has set up their program, so we want to make sure that everyone was aware of this since this is different than how slippage works for other tokens.
Eg. If you buy 1 SOL of $ABC with 20% slippage, up to 1.2 SOL may be deducted from your balance if max slippage is reached (1 SOL for the buy + 0.2 SOL for the 20% slippage) to receive your token amount. Through testing we have rarely seen max slippage used for any transaction
Note from the Moonshot team: MKTCAP for Moonshot tokens is calculated as follows: (Price/token x supply) x 0.55.
Post-migration to Raydium, MKTCAP will just be: (Price/token x Supply)
