Building a unified read-to-earn crypto news and social network to centralize and streamline crypto news, announcements, and community discussions.

Alpha Bananas is a successful crypto forum established in 2024 which has thousands of weekly users. We like to think of ourselves as the ‘Rotten Tomatoes’ of the crypto space.

What are we building? A read to earn, crypto news & social network.

What’s the problem we’re solving? There is no central authority for crypto news and announcements. Communities are spread across an assortment of established platforms like X (vast), Reddit (sprawling) or Telegram/ Discord channels (echo chambers). Finding genuine news and announcements or promoting new and existing projects is a real challenge for founders, users and the media.

What’s our solution? We’re going to bring all of these elements together under one roof by leveraging our existing brand into a Socialfi News Platform - aka A read to earn, crypto news & social network.
