Perhaps its time to not give a sh*t about all these narratives and just full port to fartcoin, from your privacy coins, your hyperliquids and your sound moneys. Let them be dead for a while, let hot air rise! Its coming…you are warned

This guy is the biggest fucking retard on CT i cant believe people still take this scammer seriously. Back in 2020 he literailly traded against his own customers on his bitmex exchange and went to jail.

started getting active again on variational, about 13pts this week, would keep the activity low-medium as the markets have been difficult to trade and i made about -100$ pnl this week. so not so efficient, but thats for later. gVar

not too late to earn atleast 100 points @variational_io

@blinktrade is the order-book path for the same market-structure problem. It is not a prop AMM, but a Solana-built ZK-rollup exchange for spot and perps with a real-time sequencer, a high-performance matching engine, DoubleZero-timestamped transaction feed, and ZK settlement back to Solana L1. The bet is that Solana remains the settlement and verification layer, while latency-sensitive price discovery moves into purpose-built low-latency infrastructure

im telling you, hyperbulls are not gonna rest till one variational points is $100... viva la var

been bullish variational since december, one thing stands out immediately is how many hyperliquid bulls supporting it (they are a hard to please bunch). what could that mean....hmm, viva la var

by the way 70% of people tweeting about the VVV HYPE ZEC NEAR being the coins worth owning don't own more than one of the 4, maybe not even a single token I've tweeted about these multiple times and I never even bought VVV don't confuse mental consensus with positioning

had a great time on @indexed_pod discussing my research on propAMMs (and blink). my first podcast

a client stiffed me. but im not the only one. here’s my side of the story: the company im talking about in the quoted tweet below is @ranger_finance and they owe us nearly ~5 months of invoices, and allegedly owe multiple employees and others outside of the co. we practically built the brand from day one and we generated nearly ~90% of all graphics/content since spring '24 and yet we went unpaid from july-dec 2025. i spent many nights working singaporean hours until 5am. lots of missed nights with the missus. lots of grinning and bearing it. when the bill racked up to 20k, the missus grew concerned and i pushed back pretty strongly ~ "they're my friends. they'll pay me back. they gave me the highest compliment a vendor can receive - 'it really feels like you're part of the team.'" but she was right. by the end of 2025, i was owed 45k. and to date, I’ve only received 10k in backpay. meanwhile, there were employees who were allegedly being paid during that time, while i was led to believe otherwise. and some employees who are owed, haven’t even received the courtesy of a response. im privileged to have a little platform to speak on this, as others aren't in the same position. but its not just me out here; theres a mother on staff who just had a baby last year. shes been floating on her own savings for months because ranger wasn’t paying her between jan-may of this year. she didn't find out about the supposed closure of the company, until she saw the post on twitter last week. send Sunny a shout - she's a fantastic designer and she was more than happy to include her name: @justt_sunnyy and personally, ive tried everything i can to be made whole and i unequivocally blame no one for this other than the ranger team for what im owed. full stop. these are the founders: @0xFA2 @Fibullnacci @barrett_io its not easy to air these things out, but ultimately, im driven by the amount of people who are still owed and the creative community who is persistently stiffed. and to put it bluntly - im owed 35k i love the solana ecosystem and the LA hard tech ecosystem. the number of people reaching out from both, has breathed new life into me. i appreciate all the creatives, founders, engineers and marketers that reached out in DM's from my previous post - it truly means a lot and we're not going anywhere for agency’s, its clear that there is an expectation of silence when nonpayment occurs - i only wish i’d gone public earlier and potentially saved others from the trouble but if you're in this position now, maybe you can get paid or maybe you can just wake up lighter like me if you’ve been on the wrong side of a deal like this, what kept you from going public? feel free to comment below or DM if you’d rather keep it private

a lot of people use NASDAQ as a buzzword so what actually differentiates NASDAQ from existing crypto venues? - fair access - physical infrastructure optimized for trading - deterministic inclusion and execution what differentiates (some) crypto native venues from NASDAQ? - verifiability/auditability - global access - fast settlement blink combines the best of both

There are ~5-10 key architecture decisions that make or break every large engineering system. A misstep in one of these decisions can lead to irrecoverable roadblocks for the product in the long term. @PhoenixTrade is not a software masterpiece, but it's the first truly viable fully on-chain perps smart contract on @solana because we made reasonable decisions in the most critical areas. Matching Engine The Phoenix matching engine handles trades atomically for all counterparties. This means that after a single transaction, the taker and maker positions are all fully updated to reflect the trade result. It also stores limit orders sorted by price and time. No other perps DEX on Solana in the past has ever supported both single-transaction matching AND price-time priority. We realized that this is not a pure tradeoff and made it the top priority in the matching engine design. While this may seem like a niche technical detail, price-based priority algorithms protect users by guaranteeing that they always get the best price to trade based on the state of the book. Non-atomic trade settlement also causes UX problems and operational problems. A delay in processing maker trades leads to more gas spent in the backend system and more latency in the UI. Users will remember a clunky trading experience even if they don't understand why. Efficient Market Maker Updates Phoenix has a special order type for professional market makers called "spline orders". At a high level, this order type allows market makers to configure the liquidity depth of the book at different offsets from a mid price and provides an entrypoint for efficiently updating the mid price of their orders. Due to the nature of the current Solana scheduler, the ability to update book orders with low computational overhead enables MMs to cancel and replace quotes with both high scheduler priority and low cost. This is a critical feature for Phoenix to support the deep liquidity necessary to offer a world-class trading experience. Risk Engine The margin system on Phoenix is completely decoupled from the matching engine because they fundamentally serve different purposes. The matching engine is functionally a fancy calculator that facilitates risk transfer between counterparties. The risk engine is a read-only check on the validity of these transactions. Phoenix's fully on-chain risk engine computes the required margin, liquidation status, total withdrawable balance, and free collateral all under Solana's tight computation constraints. There are even a handful of clever tricks in the margin math that make it impossible to withdraw funds or gain additional margin on positive uPnL on particularly illiquid assets, given the right configuration. The software separation between risk and matching enabled the team to easily reason about the behavior of both complex systems in isolation and, as a result, made the system easier to reason about and easier to update. These properties ultimately reflect in the end user's trading experience and (ideally) protect the exchange. Conclusion Other major technical decisions made Phoenix possible as a pure engineering feat, but these were a handful that I think uniquely demonstrate why system-level decision-making is so important. If we didn't figure out any one of the above designs, the end-user experience of Phoenix would be meaningfully worse, and the team's ability to improve on the product would be meaningfully weakened. Any system hoping to build serious financial products needs to bring the same level of care and decision-making to all of the core software components. For Phoenix in particular, this meant thoroughly understanding what it took to not only build a functional and efficient exchange but also fitting that design to the constraints imposed by the Solana smart contract environment.

.@PhoenixTrade is just a smart contract that’s at parity with HL. No tricks, full atomic composition. It’s a monumental engineering feat to get that to work. It’s just hella cool.

Dot HLs taking silly digs at solana like they achieved something lmao, all you achieved was your 50k or whatever airdrop and one bad day away from losing it all, sit down bros

im a big fan of HL, jeff, & shoku they are excellent I have noticed though a certain class of .HLs, who are obviously new here, disrespect toly in increasingly cheap ways toly is a monumental mind in the trajectory of crypto ppl dont remember now but there was a long and aggressive period of time where we had to fight every single day, for years, to show that actually you CAN scale crypto to planetary scale and that the ethereum way is not the only option this took an immense amount of work in spite of tremendous setbacks and many near death moments but now the engineering bar in crypto is meaningfully different than before toly. solana has created hundreds of new startups and businesses the dude is rich beyond belief, has nothing left to prove, and instead of checking out like 99% of people here, shows up every single day and has fun doing it you can and should criticize many things about solana, but personal attacks against one of the very rare instances of a missionary founder is unserious and will do nothing but give solana founders free and limitless energy

First wave of sign-ups ends in 24h. Secure your chance to get early access. We’re not another cloud exchange. True NASDAQ infrastructure meeting Solana settlement. Blink and you'll miss it.

SUI is not doing well: Chain fees have declined by 90%, along with a 70% drop in TVL over last 6 months! SUI is quickly becoming a ghost chain, despite having some of the best tech Unable to overcome the terrible economics & anti-competitive behavior: SUI's downfall is greed!
