Solana is everything to me.

I’ve given my all for many years and will continue to give my all until this beautiful network is #1.

Leave no feather unruffled until #1.

Not staying in my lane until #1.

No apologizing. No mercy.

We use our treasury to support the growth of the Solana economy. That is, definitionally, DeFi.

But economies don’t exist in isolation. For Solana to be healthy, all of defi has to be healthy.

We like competition. We compete hard. But if we zoom out, we’re all pushing toward open finance and open systems.

We’ve deployed our treasury into Solana DeFi for many years. We supported Tether’s recovery plan for Drift.

In moments like these, it’s important to show up for the broader ecosystem too.

That’s why we are lending USDT into @aave for the first time to support their recovery efforts, and we will also be bringing $AAVE to Solana this weekend.

DeFi United

“Newspapers didn’t go away they started publishing on the internet. I think that’s the same thing we’re seeing here.

Visa’s not going away ... They’re using Solana for settlement between merchants and issuers"

Seraphim says tokenized chinese ipos could be the biggest unlock in crypto:

“if you’re an american, you can’t get hold of these chinese ipos… it’s very hard."

“all it takes is a team to bring it on chain and anyone in the world can buy it.”

"Ethereum could only process 10 to 15 transactions per second. Solana can process 50,000, even more, with super low cost. It's super energy efficient. That was night and day."

- Formal verification for top protocols

I've survived 3 bear markets for this moment

I'm joining @SolanaFndn as Head of Product Marketing

I've been in this space long enough to know the difference between another cycle and a real shift

This is a shift

Stablecoins have processed $21.5 trillion in onchain transfer volume since January with Solana hitting $650B in stablecoin volume last month - more than any chain ever

Stablecoin volume on Solana overtook Ethereum in December and Real World Assets on just hit an ATH crossing $2B

Visa, PayPal, Worldpay, SoFi and the world's biggest financial players are building on the network

And this is just the first wave

The path for real adoption of onchain finance is finally becoming clear

And Solana is where it's happening

The most transactions processed, the most active addresses, the most developers

It's Solana's time

I'm joining to help the whole ecosystem grow by helping more businesses and people understand and use the network for payments, trading, finance, and whatever comes next

In my career I've marketed to 250M+ users, built institutional brands from scratch, developed growth programs that scale, managed global campaigns, and brought communities and builders together across the world

Everything I've learned goes toward one thing now

Making Solana win

Let's cook
