The next chapter: ScalpEmpire under new ownership of DeezNode & PepperMints teams

As many of you know, recently ScalpEmpire was no longer able to sustain itself, with inflated costs and low revenue streams, it was not a good situation. We reached out to a few specific projects, and through extensive discussions, we have reached an agreement with a joint partnership between DeezNode RPC and PepperMints NFT Bot to take over ScalpEmpire.

For those of you unaware, here’s a brief description of each project.

DeezNode

A load-balanced private RPC Node cluster with extremely high throughput. It’s floor price has sustained itself around ~100 SOL average for most of its existence, and peak minting season, multiple lifetime NFTs sold for as high as $15,000 for one license (750+ SOL in today’s price). The developer is @ari and nobody has been able to replicate his RPC Technology since DeezNode was created. DeezNode has a total of ~50 holders and the supply is very limited.

PepperMints NFT Bot

PepperMints is a multi-chain NFT bot that supports Solana, BTC, Polygon, and Ethereum. It contains both minting features and NFT & Token sniping features. Peppermints has a max supply of 200. It has been the #1 bot since inception — proven by DeezNode users and many other minters in the community. Currently, PepperMints has very little competition when it comes to mint bots, and dominates the market. Their developer is @grandmasterxui, who will be handling most of the technical & development side of ScalpEmpire moving forward.

Migration & Ownership

xui & ari will take over the project completely, but that does not mean I will be leaving entirely. I will be here to fully assist with the migration process, and also be available after for any technical related work or issues that may come up. However, xui & ari are very capable, and I am leaving you, and myself as a community member, in good hands. I want you all to know that a lot of time & consideration went into this decision. This project is very dear to me, and I wanted it to continue for as long as possible, and vetted the possible options very carefully. The combined team from PepperMints & DeezNode is a perfect match for us with now having RPC Technology, Bot Technology, and Analytics in ScalpEmpire’s stack.

Roadmap, Updates, Changes

Below, I’ve outlined some planned upcoming updates & changes.

• Filter Sales by Traits — Allow you to view sales history by specific trait to determine value of individual or combination of traits.
• Realtime Updates on Collections/NFTs — Now that ScalpEmpire will have unlimited access to RPC infrastructure through DeezNode, this feature is possible.
• Performance & Latency Improvements — Internal changes will be made to improve latency & performance with access to local, low-latency RPC servers from DeezNode, along with reduced overhead from changing how data flows into Scalp’s data engine.
• New Analytics & Data Features — The entirety of this feature set is not finalised, but PepperMints & DeezNode team have a lot of ideas of useful analytics that exist on other platforms that are useful, along with some custom analytics that they want to add which will be unique to ScalpEmpire. Once technical, performance, and latency improvements are done, new features will start to get added, and a more fleshed out roadmap will be released.
• Monetisation — In an effort to make the project more sustainable, some of the changes will be aimed at monetisation, more details will be released once everything is finalised on this end.
