From the industry
Field notes from the Neuron Universe — trend pieces, market pulses, and the occasional Pulse tabloid rumour. Filed by outlets you'll recognize from the vendor codex.
- Week 29 Starter podium — three names, three completely different plays
Three names on the Week 29 podium of the Pulse Weekly Leaderboard: Agent-1545, Chiefma, and Lilybun. Three completely different plays, one shared vice — the Black Market. Pulse has the receipts and, awkwardly, the sponsorship. The rotation just flipped: a growing Cu pool is on the table this week. Pulse is quietly curious who claims it and how tall it climbs.
