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

Can confirm that the @SolanaFndn team is lean, sharp and shows up big The mission is clear: - Relentlessly back builders - Strengthen the ecosystem - Set Solana up for continued long term success BIG year ahead
Apr 24
Still under 90 people at @SolanaFndn. Looks like 300 from the outside. 65% of us have been there less than a year. Just spent a week with them in New York and I've never been more bullish on what's coming. Accelerate.

Techie speak “single state machine” Translated means “unified liquidity”
Apr 20
.@SolanaFndn President, @calilyliu explains why Solana is built for unified liquidity "The most important thing in finance is liquidity. No one is ever bigger than the market. The market will always win, liquidity will always win, and people will ultimately trade off every last thing in order to be part of the largest market. The idea that you could potentially create a marketplace available to 5.5 billion people, the population of people on the internet. There's no pool of liquidity which is ever going to be larger than that. That reinforces why the architecture of Solana from the beginning has been the preferred one. It prioritizes the number one thing about financial markets: unified liquidity."

"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." @msjemmagreen on why @Powerledger_io and @POWR_X chose Solana to build peer-to-peer energy trading
