The CEO of @Lighter_xyz is a killer
- Harvard at 16 / 4yr degree in 3yrs / done at 19.
- 2x International Olympiad medalist (Olympics for geniuses)
- Recruited to Citadel by Ken Griffin himself, at 19.
- 8yrs on quant desks at Citadel & Graham Capital. He's not guessing what institutional flows want - he ran the book.
- CEO of @Lighter_xyz. Institutional-grade execution, zero fees for retail. Every fill & liquidation provable on-chain, verifiable, not just visible.
- Backed by @foundersfund (Thiel), @craft_ventures (Sacks), & @Robinhood (whose CEO he mentored)
- Founders Fund partner Joey Krug: "Vlad & the team he's built is 90% of why we made the investment."
- Vlad sits on the CFTC's Innovation Advisory Committee - a direct line into the body advising the CFTC as it writes the rules for US crypto derivatives

A depiction of the slave trade was staged on Juneteenth outside a fortress in Accra that once served as a hub for transporting slaves. Ghana has been hosting a conference there that aims to advance the UN resolution that declared slavery the 'gravest crime against humanity'.
JTX might be the most important Solana launch of the year.
Jito, the team that built half of Solana's infrastructure, is now building a trading platform.
1. Roadmap:
Spot trading first → perps (with a PhoenixTrade integration) → prediction markets.
→ Spot trading will access all the DEXes on Solana, using DFlow for aggregation, pulling from Meteora, Orca, and the prop AMMs on Solana.
2. Goal of JTX:
→ To attract traders who trade stocks, bridged assets, memecoins, RWAs, whatever you want, with best in class liquidity and UX.
→ To give traders the best possible trading experience and lots of assets that also trade on weekends.
→ And the timing isn't an accident. Last week Solana processed $11.6B in spot DEX volume, above NYSE American's $10.5B. It's already passed Coinbase and Kraken. The long term benchmark isn't bigger CEXs. It's the Nasdaq itself. With global distribution, 24/7 markets, and tokenized equities entering the stack, that now feels increasingly possible.
That's the opening JTX is built for.
3. Early access is open now:
→ Join the waitlist → private beta in the next ~2 weeks

4. The edge is the infra. JTX runs on Jito's own BAM plugins. BAM (Block Assembly Marketplace) moves transaction sequencing into trusted execution environments, bringing proposer builder separation to Solana. Translation: private, verifiable ordering, tighter spreads, far less toxic MEV. It's the closest thing Solana has to a real block building layer, and JTX builds directly on top of it.
5. JTX will direct 80% of all fees toward $JTO buybacks, and Jito already runs a lot of Solana's core infra. Could be a solid alt to spot buy and hold long term. NFA.

The hard part of post-quantum security is no longer primarily a standard question, the standards path is now defined and the core cryptographic direction is clear, but the engineering required to bring those protections onto the billions of chips, devices, and networks already in the world.
Closing that gap is exactly what BTQ has spent five years building toward, delivering post-quantum security rooted in hardware across classical, quantum, and blockchain networks.
