We need to properly introduce ourselves.
We are Yuugen Protocol and we aim to bring privacy to the people.
First let us show you what we’ve been working on and then explain how to get involved.
In addition to below,
We are looking to add a few other Web 3 roles:
Biz dev
Operations
Multiple engineer spots
Open to all backgrounds
Reply here and dm.
Let’s build the future
0/ Privacy in the Ethereum ecosystem is undergoing an evolution. A Renaissance, even, to sound a bit fancy.
What exactly is behind these changes and how might neo-Cypherpunk be involved?

We're NOT FUCKING LEAVING!!!
Solana was written off many times
But what is dead may never die
Solana didn’t survive because of narratives. It survived because engineers stayed, communities supported each other, and people refused to quit
After FTX collapsed, many devs were indeed close to leaving
Then Bonk happened
What looked like a joke ended up keeping everything alive
Airdrops paid rent, bought time, and kept builders working when they otherwise would’ve quit
Some $300 allocations later became hundreds of thousands of dollars
Meme coins didn’t build Solana — but they helped save the people who did
DeFi went through hell too
During the mSOL depeg, developers had to fix broken financial systems while prices were crashing
They dealt with forks, reissuing assets, and liquidity problems in real time, all under intense pressure
That difficult period is a big reason why Solana’s DeFi ecosystem is stronger today
One of the craziest day in Solana history was April 23, 2023
Solana handled two massive events:
The Helium migration and the Mad Lads NFT launch
Nearly 1 million Helium hotspots were moved onto Solana — something that would’ve cost millions on other chains, but cost almost nothing here
At the same time, Mad Lads brought huge traffic and chaos
Engineers stayed awake for 30 hours straight to keep everything running. The network didn’t break
All these events proved...
Not that Solana was perfect
Not that it would never break again
But that when it mattered most, the people behind it showed up
Builders stayed awake
Communities stepped in
Systems held under real pressure
Solana didn’t come back because the market believed
The market believed after Solana held
Hold tight—volatility is the name of the game, but innovation never sleeps. Brighter days are on the horizon with mass adoption & tech breakthroughs ahead!
