@JupiterExchange @jup_academy Super stoked for this! Finally a structured way to learn all of Jupiter’s products while making the most out of onchain finance. Thank you!

Introducing Jupiter Academy: A gamified, interactive education platform built to help you get the most out of everything Jupiter has to offer. You've been on Jupiter. You've made the swaps. But Perps, Prediction Markets, Lend, Portfolio: how much of it do you actually know? Most users are only touching a fraction of what's here. You’ve been in the ecosystem all along, just without a map. Academy changes that. Free lessons on every Jupiter product, real quizzes, XP and ranks that make learning feel like progress. The Jupiverse just got a map. Welcome to the @jup_academy 🎓

@Ronycoder @grok summarise this

Instead of watching Netflix for 2 hours, watch this guy explain why some people become successful while others stay average.

This week, I'm releasing a 1 and a half hour conversation with @xxjzhum the president of @jupiterexchange the leading onchain super-app on Solana. Xiao grew up in Communist China, became a professional concert pianist, then spent years doing landmark deals in private equity at KKR. Then he walked away from all of it to join Jupiter to make the defining bet that onchain finance is the future... Open, permissionless, and self-sovereign. At Jupiter, he is helping to build the infrastructure for that future. We talk about: - Why Xiao left KKR - one of the most coveted seats in global finance - to go all in on on-chain. - What most institutions are actually doing in crypto right now - The Jupiter product philosophy - Jupiter Global and the $5 trillion QR pay market - Why Jupiter never raised external funding and still grew into nine-digit revenues - The three pillars Xiao sees defining on-chain finance in the next 3-5 years - Why tokenization is bigger than people think And much more... Podcast out this week!

@diamondARS_ @JupiterExchange Why is $WET DTF last straw for you?

Jupiter team got too rich and lazy I've been supporting @JupiterExchange and staking $JUP since the beginning But now I’m planning to unstake and exit on any solid pump Products are great, but how they threat token and DAO members is a huge disappointment $WET DTF launch was the last straw

@kashdhanda @JupiterExchange The vision is getting clearer each time you guys share. Can’t wait to witness it all unfold in KL.

hey hey - I want to personally invite you to CatLumpurr 2026, @JupiterExchange's community summit in Kuala Lumpur: Jan 31 - Feb 1, 2026. We’re at a massive inflection point in Jupiter’s journey. Being in the room genuinely matters in building out our next chapter - for the holders, the community, and anyone who wants to help shape the next era of DeFi. Here’s 4 reasons why you should be there 👇

@852luk This is so sad, I’m so sorry for your loss

My mum has been certified dead 🕯 Police called us this afternoon and I identified her full body in the photo. The Tai Po Wang Fuk Court fire has killed at least 151 people, some bodies burned to ashes. "4 Demands, Not one less": 1. Ensure accommodation for displaced residents; 2. Set up an independent investigation committee to look into potential conflicts of interest; 3. Review the construction supervision system; 4. Probe regulatory neglect, as well as hold government officials accountable. My mum's last seen time would forever be kept at 14 : 53, November 26, 2025.

@NFTMuse_ So that’s how they see us eh? 😂

Anyone else relate to this?😭

@KevinWSHPod @weremeow Looking forward to the interview. What’s a highlight for you Kevin?

This week I'm releasing a 1.5-hour conversation with @weremeow the founder of Jupiter, a leading DeFi platform with over $2T in volume At Jupiter, Meow is focused on one simple goal: to bring the next billion people into Crypto. To do this, he is building JupNet to make Web4 the new standard, a world where using crypto is so seamless, it becomes invisible. We talk about: - How he wants to simplify everything in Crypto so it doesn't feel like Crypto anymore - Why Meow actually thinks he's a cat - How Jupiter is building Web 4 and what that actually means - How Jupiter is becoming the Google of Crypto - What are Synergies of Scale and why Meow believes they are crucial in building crypto projects - How JupNet is attempting to help users easily navigate a world where there are many chains - Why Jupiter selected When Shift Happens as their media partner And much, much more... Podcast out this week. @JupiterExchange

@wassielawyer Love your passion!

DTF means a lot to me because it is built on the principles that attracted me to this industry years ago. Fairness, transparency and a free market of ideas. And with that, optimism. There was once a time when we were genuinely excited by new ideas. When anyone could share a dream and build towards it together. When we believed that together we could build the future of finance. It was a time many of us look back on with nostalgia. Starry-eyed idealists devouring white papers, talking to the community, supporting the people we vibed with and riding with them as they grew from nothing to the largest protocols in the world. We all hope for that spark once more, that fire that got us all excited about the future and our place in it. But we dare not hope too much. Because we all know now that our belief pays the VCs, the founders and 'angel' investors. After 3-4 years of playing the game, we all know now that your belief is what creates IRR for the VCs and funds lambos for the founders and Birkins for their ABGs. Since the Golden Age of DeFi, fairness and transparency have become marketing tools in a bid to attract an ever dwindling pool of believers to deploy their finances into decidedly unfair and opaque projects. "We are for the community!" - says the project that has sold over 20% of their tokens to VCs before doing a 'community' sale at 5x the valuation of their last round, as their earliest investors happily mark up their investment value on their excel sheet. "No insiders get tokens, community eats first" - says the team that has already OTCed out their allocation via 'market making contracts' and 'foundation allocations'. "We are heads down building" - says the founder that took millions in a 'community' round to pay himself an exorbitant salary while doing nothing but partying, 'investing' in and 'advising' other projects as people wait for a token that never launches. Supporting projects became impossible, not because you suck at picking projects but because you were always late. You could never have been early. That white paper you read was only developed after 3 rounds of venture funding. The 'locked' insider tokens have been hedged out, borrowed against or straight up OTCed before TGE. What if we could have an actually 'fair' launch again where people can participate on transparent terms, knowing exactly how early they are to the project? What if we could have actual transparency, where anyone can see where 100% of the tokens are in clearly segregated wallets and programmatically locked up instead of the good old 'trust me bro'. What if you knew you would never be rugged because you knew exactly when the TGE was. And when the token goes live, you know for sure there is an on-chain liquidity pool you could trade in and out of. Maybe you could try to believe again. And so we built DTF with these design principles in mind. Entire supply of tokens visible on chain. Lock-ups enforced programmatically. Tokens to be distributed almost immediately after sale. Liquidity announced, set and locked immediately when token goes live. Projects we can personally back. Investor terms (if any) fully disclosed (we ideally want to get to a world where DTF is the first and last round). The overriding overarching principle - transparency, fairness and decentralised capital formation. We built DTF for those who used to believe, in the hopes that they might believe again. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

@JupiterExchange Excited to know what they’ve been working on over the past year!

introducing: Jupiter Research Center 🍾 we assembled the best and brightest minds in cryptography, security, and SVM research. and together, we're building the best research center in crypto.

@Enter_Uranus Wish I was there!

born on solana. powered by jupiter. uranus.

Just learned an analogy from @Shaaran5 that made blockchain click for me: It’s like splitting a sensitive photo into a million fragments and letting random people hold one tiny piece but only you know how to reassemble it. Feels a lot safer than one company holding everything. Thanks @KevinWSHPod for putting this podcast episode together!

@KevinWSHPod @Shaaran5 @multiplifi Just finished watching the episode and I love @Shaaran5 energy and passion for blockchain and DeFi. His analogy of a million photo scraps stuck to me cos I’m very new to crypto and DeFi!

Multipli's Trillion-Dollar Plan To Unlock Yield On Bitcoin And Gold, And What That Means For A Tokenised Economy In this episode of DROPS, I sit down with @Shaaran5 , founder of @multiplifi, to discuss why Bitcoin, gold, and other traditionally “idle” assets are about to become yield-generating machines, how tokenisation will pull trillions of real-world assets on-chain, and what Multipli is building to capture that shift. Across a wide-ranging conversation, Shaaran walks through his own journey from teenage Solidity hacker to exchange founder, then zooms out to the macro story: stablecoins, treasury yields, and why on-chain finance may be entering its biggest opportunity yet. From Hackathons to a Million Users Shaaran introduces himself in the simplest way possible: “I’m a coder… I just love introducing me as a developer because that’s how I pretty much started.” He began building on Solidity in 2015–2016, back when Ethereum was still early and he was young, too young for most traditional systems to take him seriously. Hackathons became his gateway into crypto, partly because they were open and partly because he wanted to earn. He says plainly, “I initially started off with greed to be very honest.” That early period was chaotic in the way only early crypto can be. He recalls winning Ethereum in hackathons, then struggling to sell it, eventually shelling out a huge amount on something random and feeling scammed. But when Ethereum’s price began rising in 2017, he came back with focus. He built a crypto exchange in India and scaled it to more than a million users. That experience shaped his conviction, but it also taught him how fragile markets can be when regulation is uncertain. India’s tax changes crushed volumes almost overnight, forcing him to pause, step back, and observe the space. The Fire in the Belly Shaaran’s return to building comes from frustration mixed with belief. He loves blockchain at a technical level, but hates how the industry keeps repeating shallow patterns. “The technology behind crypto, blockchain, is fantastic… but the fact that it’s being used for shilling and a bunch of Ponzi schemes…” is what pushes him. DeFi, in his view, is not mainstream at all. It is big in numbers and TVL, but tiny in real users. That gap between what the tech could do and what it is currently doing is where his energy comes from. He frames the mission almost as a moral one. If blockchain is powerful enough to rewire trust and ownership, then it should be solving real problems, not just stacking L2s nobody touches. His ambition is to make this “beautiful” thing accessible to people who have never used DeFi, or even fully understood crypto. That’s the emotional root of Multipli. Why Money on Chain Needs Yield A big part of the conversation centres on a deceptively simple claim: stablecoins are not stable. Shaaran argues they fall in real value by about 5% a year, because they are tied to a fiat system that needs constant inflation to function. The US earns about $4 trillion in revenue, spends around $6 trillion, and bridges the gap by issuing treasuries, effectively paying the world interest, so capital stays inside the system. Stablecoins matter because they give people global access to dollars, even if the yield is not passed through. That lets the US sustain demand for dollars while gaining flexibility on rates. Tokenisation Is Inevitable, But It Creates a Problem Shaaran believes tokenisation will be the default form of asset movement. “Every single commodity and precious metal is going to be tokenised… to move assets from one end to another takes a lot of cost… but by using blockchain… It’s going to open and make things a whole lot efficient.” In other words, tokenisation cuts friction, makes settlement cleaner, and turns slow markets into programmable rails. But he quickly points out the missing piece: tokenised assets don’t automatically come with yield. If trillions of dollars worth of bank reserves, gold, private equity, and sovereign funds move on-chain, they may still earn zero unless something is built to make them productive. This is the tension Multipli is leaning into. Tokenisation brings capital, but capital without yield is just a digital warehouse. Multipli, Explained Like You’re Talking to Mum Shaaran’s pitch is catchy: “If you want anything to multiply, you just use Multipli.” But behind it is a clean infrastructure idea: take non-yielding assets, tokenise them through partners, then deploy professional, risk-managed strategies to generate steady returns. To demonstrate how he thinks about onboarding normal people, he says his mum loves gold and keeps it in a locker, paying storage fees while it does nothing. Multipli aims to flip that dynamic. “How about making that gold work for you? What if I say you could make 2 or 3% on the gold if you just have to click a button?” The pitch is not “get rich quick.” It is “stop letting your assets sit idle.” He uses gold as the clearest case study. Multipli works with tokenisation partners and mints stablecoins against overcollateralised gold positions. Those stablecoins are then deployed to earn yield. Users get a more modest, risk-adjusted slice, around 3–6%, on assets that have historically produced nothing. Overcollateralisation is there to protect against price swings: if gold ever dropped sharply, there is a buffer to liquidate safely and preserve user funds. Why a “Small” Yield Can Be Huge So I pushed through with a fair question: why take the risk for a 3–4% yield on something as precious as Bitcoin or gold? Shaaran’s answer is built on transparency and scale. Multipli’s smart contracts restrict where capital can move, and the strategies are run by serious TradFi-grade asset managers who already manage billions in regulated environments. The returns are not maximalist; they are engineered to be survivable. And for long-term holders, even “small” yield compounds in meaningful ways. A few percent in Bitcoin terms can be massive over a decade. The One-Line Takeaway The episode ends where it began: deterministically simple. “If you want to multiply, just use multipli. Don’t think of anything else.” It is a founder’s refrain, but it is also a thesis about where DeFi might be going next, away from hype cycles and towards infrastructure that turns global idle capital into productive capital. 👉If you enjoyed reading the summary, head over to When Shift Happens on YouTube or your favorite podcast platform to access the full convo.

@NFTMuse_ Wait I’m confused haha

Proud to be Indonesian 🇮🇩

@Enter_Uranus Any live-streaming?

tonight, uranus will be visible in the night sky at its brightest point of the year. come by 2754 E 11th St, Los Angeles, Ca 90023 after 9pm for a glimpse of something special.

Thought crypto was still a tiny niche. Turns out the “crypto-curious” are growing faster than anyone expected. Here’s what the numbers say: 1. Global crypto ownership: 562 million people now own crypto worldwide (Triple-A 2024). That’s almost 7% of the entire world population, and up from 420M the year before. 2. Crypto-curious population (people who don’t own yet but plan to): 70% of non-owners say they are “curious” or “open” to owning crypto (Coinbase 2024). In Southeast Asia, it’s even higher. 78% of people say they are crypto-curious. 3. Singapore specifically: 32% of Singaporeans own crypto (highest in Asia). One of the fastest-growing crypto-curious populations in the region. When this many people start paying attention… It’s no longer a trend. It’s a revolution in motion. What do you think?

@JupiterExchange Love the recap on fresh start!

Meow is Back on the Planetary Call #60 x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@moothefarmer Word!

Hot take: If people are on your platform only for points or an airdrop, they’re not users. They’re mercenary capital, and they’ll walk the moment the rewards dry up. Yet projects keep designing for them. Why? Because it works tactically: • CT buzz • TVL "growth" • Activity "growth" • Revenue "growth" These vanity metrics look great in a pitch deck. They help justify inflated projections, unlock a VC round, or set up a TGE at a premium. Then the airdrop arrives. The numbers evaporate, and the “growth” collapses. It’s been the crypto playbook for years. To users: recognize when you’re the yield and that the points may not convert the way you expect it to. To teams: build for people who will stay once the music stops (unless you're in it just for the quick cash, and well that's a strategy too). Study the battlefield. Game is game.
