🚨ANNOUNCEMENT
SOL Strategies has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Darklake Labs, bringing zero-knowledge privacy tech in-house to power more secure, private and institution ready on-chain finance.
A major milestone in our journey to build on Solana. 🧵
$STKESOL’s #1 decentralization ranking is a shared achievement.
76 high-performance validators earned their place through Wiz Score: ~15 metrics over 30 days.
Shoutout to every operator involved and everyone staking to help decentralize @Solana.
Another beautifully presented and hosted event by @SolanaFndn and @SuperteamUK
The institutional audience at Solana & Suits was a such strong reflection of where things are heading. Great panels, thoughtful conversations throughout and new and exciting connections were made. Looking forward to the follow ups.
From day one, Jess had an incredible ability to take ideas, bring them to life, and turn ambition into action. She was pivotal in shaping our Darklake journey and made a lasting impact throughout her creativity, energy and dedication. Any team would be so so lucky to have her 💫
Take 2. I took my original post down earlier because the DMs were slammed.
I’m hopping on the trend of everyone selling space on luggage, suits, and their body, and selling space on my MC cards.
The price? A spot on your team.
Following the acquisitions of @darklakefi by SOL Strategies, I’m looking for my next role! This was a really great year and a half with @vitorpy and @DuchessofSOL, I learned so much working with them. I am also grateful to have spent time during the wind down with the absolute OG Legends at SOL Strategies, and learn more about the operations on staking and infrastructure. They also introduced me to the new world of institutions (and I'm in love).
You may know me from MC'ing a bit of everywhere, a panel, or random X convos where my brand is fun. The behind the scenes side of me is more serious, nonstop, and head down.
Where my magic lies:
Strategy: Investigating problems, challenging assumptions and finding what others have overlooked. I love a good edge case. I love making pieces line up. I love making sure the branding meets the backbone.
Partnerships: Opening doors, understanding what matters to people and finding reasons to work together. I'll get in any room, anywhere.
Communication: Making complex products understandable to customers, investors and the people building them. Outward or inward facing comms, building narratives, experiences, and long form or short form content.
Leadership: Giving people ownership, coaching teams and removing obstacles to delivery.
What gets me out of bed: Privacy and ZK (especially beyond trading with real world application), infrastructure, stablecoins and institutional adoption.
I’m looking for a role with a product I believe in, where I can help shape the direction, develop the team and take responsibility for moving things forward. I have a swiss army knife of skills and experience founding and growing businesses in extremely resource scarce environments. I'm curious, driven by growth, not afraid to take risks, and not a "yes" man.
Following up on the DMs that I got today, to save you time if you've made it this far, I am not looking for my main role to sell a token, a meme, go pre-raise with promise of future funding, or go equity only right now. But I see you, and I see your hustle! I'm rooting for you!🫶
Let’s talk. If a team comes to mind, I’d appreciate an introduction. Thank you to everyone who supported the original post with RTs and comments. I appreciate you. 🫶🫶
A proud moment for SOL Strategies 📸
Our management team together at @NasdaqExchange, celebrating $STKE and the work of so many people across the business.
To our team, partners and community: thank you for being part of the journey. We’re excited to keep building.
$STKE turned one today. 🎉
One year on @NasdaqExchange. A year of building across the onchain economy.
We launched STKESOL, welcomed @HoudiniSwap and expanded our privacy stack with Zyga.
Validator infrastructure. Liquid staking. Cross-chain liquidity. Zero-knowledge privacy.
Thank you to everyone building with us, supporting us and following along ♥️
Feeling grateful for the new and old connections made in Serbia.
I love my work but the people in this industry just make things so much better.
Well done to @SuperteamBLKN for pulling off such a great event.
See ya’ll at Breakpoint 💜
