As the end of summer approaches, our community is experiencing yet another exciting milestone. Today, we are thrilled to officially announce our newly promoted Flower members!

StandX has made it this far entirely thanks to the trust and co-creation of every single community member. Today, we want to take this opportunity not only to express our deepest respect to these 5 outstanding new Flowers but also to say a massive “Thank You” to everyone silently contributing behind the scenes.

Let’s meet these five brilliant new Flowers and dive into the real, touching records of their contributions:

🎨 rio (supe1210) — all-round builder / design core

Original Records:

• Eligibility: Contributions Self-review 6 weeks, one of the heaviest self-assessments overall.
• Mod: 5 substantive praises, consensus-level. dave — “hands down one of our most active users, truly impressive, an all-rounder engaging across regional channels, excellent AI + handmade art, rarely a day without contributing”; gaboo, kyodai, arti, mira all name him (the homepage soccer-ball idea was his).
• Letter (Japanese): sincere with real professional depth. A SaaS professional who understands how hard it is for an 11-person no-VC team to ship this;
• Chat: 159 pages — solid presence.
• Quality tasks: 10 — the highest of anyone. made the first DUSD explainer diagram back on testnet; volunteers for ongoing UI/UX testing design, and tweet support. He also did the platform translation for us. His SIP-5 overview diagram was adopted officially and many of his UI/UX proposals were implemented.

**Our Appreciation:**Your 6-week contribution self-assessment was one of the most substantial and detailed reports we received. You earned a unanimous, consensus-level praise from all the Mods. As Dave said, you are “hands down one of our most active users.” Whether it’s engaging across regional channels or creating stunning AI and handmade art, you rarely missed a day. (That homepage soccer-ball Easter egg was brilliant, by the way!) As a SaaS professional, your sincere Japanese letter deeply resonated with us; you truly understand the struggles of our small 11-person team trying to ship a product. With 159 pages of chat and a record-breaking 10 quality tasks—from the first DUSD explainer to the officially adopted SIP-5 diagram and platform translation—many of your UI/UX proposals have become real features. Thank you, rio, for being our indispensable design core and for your endless dedication!

🦄 hepha_168 — the hardest objective output, well-balanced

Original Records:

• Eligibility: Contributions Self-review 6 weeks, Creative Squad.
• Mod: 4 positive (early OG, grabbed the rare unicorn role, creative squad, selected by Jimmy before); recognized by the Chinese-region mods, and being unknown to non-Chinese mods is a visibility issue, not a negative.
• Letter: sincere. spent 4 days making a 42-second Christmas AI animation with an AI-composed song; sang a Hokkien song at an event (the mods still remember it).
• Chat: 400 pages — tied for the highest. willing to help other standers in trading.
• Quality tasks: 6 (on the high side). As a Professional trader, he owns his special perspective in understanding StandX Yield and trading mechanism and can write it as good articles which is great and friendly for the StandX beginners.

**Our Appreciation:**As an early OG and a rare unicorn role holder, you’ve always been a treasure in the Chinese community. The fact that non-Chinese mods might not know you as well is just a language visibility issue, not a reflection of your immense value. Your application letter was incredibly sincere. Who would have thought a hardcore pro-trader would spend 4 solid days making a 42-second Christmas AI animation, complete with an AI-composed song? Not to mention your Hokkien singing performance that the mods still talk about! With a staggering 400 pages of chat (tied for the highest overall), you are incredibly active and always willing to help others with trading. Your 6 high-quality tasks turned complex StandX Yield and trading mechanisms into friendly, readable articles for beginners. Thank you, hepha_168, for bringing both hardcore professionalism and incredible romance to our community!

🎮 jovan (jovanneves) — engagement ceiling + community dev

**Our Appreciation:**You might have just cleared the 4-week gate, but your explosive impact is undeniable! You received top-tier praise from all the mods, being hailed as the absolute activity engine of the Portuguese community. Your hardcore stats are mind-blowing: 112k trade points and being the first Stander ever to pass 10,000 engagement points. You literally used your software-dev skills to build games like Flappy Candle and World Cup for us, and even upgraded Victor’s game! Tied for the highest chat presence at 400 pages, you never missed a single day of content production. We were especially moved during the World Cup period when you stayed up late into the night in Brazil just to ensure the game points were distributed correctly to everyone. Thank you, jovan, for pushing the limits and fueling the community with your unstoppable energy!

🛠 tayfun0 (tayfun) — delivery-depth ceiling

Original Records:

• Eligibility: 6 weeks, and the most systematic, detailed self-assessment of anyone.
• Mod: 3, but very high quality. dave — “he and Ulas are some of the best, most insightful content creators in the community”; mira — “PRO trader, knows trading very well.” kyodai - He creates great content, always explains the new features and he’s been dedicated to our community since he joined.
• Letter (Turkish): sincere — from skeptic to fully invested after being picked as one of four task contributors.
• Chat: 69 pages. Tayfun doesn’t chat much but he helps others in Turkish chat.
• Quality tasks: 7 He also did the platform translation for us and always been helpful for any task we gave him.
• Read: the classic “delivers a lot, rarely shows up in chat” profile. 7 tasks + systematic SIP-mechanics education + a self-built maker bot is hard output; he’s at #5 only because presence is a clear weakness — if you weigh community activity heavily, you need to accept that.

Our Appreciation: You provided the most systematic and detailed 6-week self-assessment out of anyone. You might not chat a lot (69 pages), but you are the classic “silent giant” who always helps others in the Turkish chat. When you deliver, you hit the absolute ceiling of depth. Three mods gave you high-quality reviews, calling you one of the most insightful content creators and a highly knowledgeable PRO trader. Your sincere Turkish letter, detailing your journey from a skeptic to a fully invested core contributor, was incredibly inspiring. You completed 7 high-quality tasks, handled our platform translation, and built an incredibly systematic SIP-mechanics education series—plus your own maker bot! This is the definition of hard output. Thank you, tayfun, for proving that actions speak louder than words and for your incredible dedication!
