Flying Tulip is now raising capital. If you are a USA based fund interested in investing, reach out to [email protected]
Flying Tulip is a high-performance full featured exchange, built entirely on-chain, with liquidity powered by a synthetic delta-neutral liquidity pool backed by staking yield.
Purpose of funds:
- Funds will be deployed in a combination of Flying Tulip yield strategies
- Only yield will be used to fund bootstrapping, marketing expansion, incentivizing launch pads, token liquidity, and buybacks
- All tokens issued will have a perpetual PUT to sell tokens back at any time at same exchange rate and denomination (BTC, ETH, SOL, USDC, USDe, USDS, ftUSD) as invested
$FT = Fixed Supply, no token inflation, or token incentives. 50% investor, 50% foundation.
$FT token is not yet live. Do not get fooled by scams.
While we all know him for Yearn, $FTM, $S (Sonic), and countless other DeFi primitives, here are some lesser known facts about him.
The GodFather of DeFi: Andre Cronje
🌟Blitz coded his C.S. diploma.
After dropping law school, Cronje compressed a 3 year CS programme at South Africa’s CTI Education Group into just 5 months.
🌟Animal rescue
As a student in Stellenbosch he regularly adopted stray dogs and cats and brought them back to the dorms.
🌟Courtroom Litigator
AC entered Stellenbosch University for an LLB & fantasised about arguing cases, but quit when mock trial modules turned out to be only “2 % of the course.”
🌟Hangman
1st program was Hangman in Pascal. In 9th grade he wrote a Hangman game, his teacher couldn’t keep up, leading to “massive clashes.”
🌟No founder tokens, ever!
During the legendary YFI (and others) “fair launch” he kept 0 tokens for himself, and only two confidants knew the launch date. Hopefully this will change with Flying Tulip
🌟Elevator, really?
Refuses to ride his own elevator. While renting a Dubai villa with a private lift, AC joked he won’t use it because he “doesn’t like risk.” Then how come "Test in prod"?
🌟From DeFi to “RegFi”
After walking away in 2022, Cronje re-emerged to pitch regulated-finance bridges between TradFi and blockchains and coined the term "RegFi"
🌟Psychology & Graphic design
During his CTI lecturing, apart from IT he taught psychology, counselling and graphic design basics for future protocol engineers.
Craziest part about the recent big moves by $FTM $S is how wildly undervalued it still is comparatively
S = $2.8B MC; $700M TVL
ADA = $28B MC; $380M TVL
HBAR = $9B MC; $115M TVL
TON = $9B MC; $175M TVL
HYPE = $8.5B MC; $650M TVL
NEAR = $4B MC; $180M TVL
So…much…higher
@Cointelegraph Fastest growing chain in all of crypto. Been pumping during the market downturn. Eco system coins done multiples. A clear shift from the $SOL crime bs. We're back to utility!
"I have some assets on SOL. How do I get some $S?"
I got you!
@deBridgeFinance provides such a pleasant experience
> Choose Solana as your chain + asset of choice (ie: SOL, USDC)
> Then, choose Sonic as your destination chain + asset of choice (ie: S, USDC)
> Enter your EVM wallet addy
Boom! You are now able to experience the fastest L1 out there
Get yourself some points by just holding $S in your wallet
Try it today!
Fantom's rebrand to Sonic is paying off big time
Since the rebrand, the chain’s TVL has jumped by over 66% from $153 million to $257 million
Now, all it needs is the $S token to bounce back, it’s down 41% in the past month
So @AndreCronjeTech has built a DeFi protocol that improves AMM by integrating forex, lending, perps, leveraged trading, fully incorporated in the USA with regulatory approval and direct fiat on/off ramps all in one system!!
It’s the everything DEX and it’s built on #Sonic 💥💥💥
Probably why Coinbase isn’t listing Sonic, because he’s about to put them out of business 🤣
