Good news. I've joined @sanctumso ☁️ 18 months ago (around 6-months before TGE), I stumbled across Sanctum while researching the Solana ecosystem. At the time, Sanctum didn't have many eyeballs on it and their docs left much to the imagination (sorry, fellas😅). As fate would

My proposal for Sanctum Tokenomics - community allocation and how the token should be used @sanctumso won the @JupiterExchange launchpad vote in a landslide without a plan for Tokenomics. While controversial at the time, this opened up the space for the community to have a say

Why I'm voting Sanctum and you should too It's not a game. It makes no references to hats or apes. And it sure as hell isn't another "blockchain x AI" After 2 weeks deep-diving docs and bugging the team on discord, here's why I'm voting @sanctumso in the @JupiterExchange LFG

I spent the last month fielding questions in the Sanctum (@sanctumso) Discord about LSTs and staking. I bring you two glorious whiteboard explainers in one... Why staking with LSTs on Solana is safer than you think and why CHADS laugh at 'de-peg risk'. What to expect: - How

I smell trouble brewing with Kamino Multiply… A few days ago, the team at @KaminoFinance announced the launch of JupSOL on their platform by promoting its use in their Multiply product. It was a great educational series of threads. I'm a fan of Kamino (daily user), but felt

Didn't catch the @sanctumso 'Tokenomics deep dive twitter space'? No time to listen to the full 1hr 45 recording? Worry not, I've got you... In the only way I know how 😎 I present to you: Sanctum call TL;DL (R). 🧵/

I spent my Saturday digging through @sanctumso docs & whiteboarding so you don't have to. 🔖 By topic: - How do I stake it? - Example of how it works - Where the yield comes from - Why the yield is high - What happens if some of the LST's suck - Am I exposed to de-peg risk 🧵

I guess now is a good time to share… One month ago I officially joined @DriftProtocol. I met @cindyleowtt in June. She told me I should quit my job (7-years deep at KPMG) to join Drift. I politely said no. But if there's one thing we can say about David and Cindy, they are

I spent weeks trying to figure out what the 'Sanctum Router' (@sanctumso) was and how it works. Now I'm here to help you understand it too, in the only way I know how... With crude whiteboard drawings and a conversational tone. 🧵/

Sanctum week may be over, but LSTs on Solana are just getting started. A few weeks ago, @akshaybd asked if I'd do a guest post for @solana's twitter page–honoured and on my favourite topic, I enthusiastically said yes 🤓 In this whiteboard: > How LSTs direct Solana staking

It's beginning to look a lot like Driftmas… Since joining @DriftProtocol and talking to lots of people, I've realised there's a bit of a gap between what people think Drift is, vs. what it actually is. So today, I bring you, my Christmas whiteboard🎅 🧵/
