> **Visual Note:** A promotional graphic for TxFlow positioning itself as "The Next Hyperliquid and Lighter," featuring stats like 250K+ TPS, ~200MS finality, and own L1 trading, with a banner urging early users to deposit native USDC from networks like Arbitrum, Base, and Ethereum before the points program launches—directly reinforcing the post's message that getting in early on new perp DEXes like Hyperliquid and Lighter paid off, and TxFlow is currently in that same pre-airdrop window.

@HyperliquidX
 or 
@Lighter_xyz

We will make a lot of money together in the future.
$BTC
 $HYPE
 $LIGHTER $PONS 
$TROLL
 are just the appetizers. The bull cycle just restarted."
