Geninsus | Jupiter

This will be my last post for a very long time, it's time for me to go. I'm leaving Jupiter and I'm leaving crypto for an undetermined time, after almost 10 years of deep interest for this industry. What started as a hobby ended up with a lifetime opportunity building SonarWatch for 4 years and joining Jupiter for 1.5 years, this journey went beyond what I could have dreamed for. I've met many incredible human beings, went to crazy conferences (@solana does it better) and gave all my energy and time to try and build the best portfolio tracker for this space and this community. It's now time for me to take on another path and explore something different to start learning again! Thank you @olivier51_, this couldn't have been possible without you. Thank you @solana for creating such a cool community and work environnement. Thank you @sssionggg @weremeow & @kashdhanda for the trust and opportunity to work for such a cool company and product, Just Use @JupiterExchange. Thank you to everyone I've met or worked with during those years, it's been a pleasure. My DMs will always be open and I'll check here or in Telegram from time to time if you want to reach out. See you around, Geninsus a.k.a Guillaume. 🫡

@abishek Don't know yet! Will take some time to figure it out.

@Geninsus what a run, what are you looking to explore next?

Gotta catch 'em all!

@lui1of1 How would you see Portfolio playing out here ?

Just tested out GUM, some quick thoughts Deposited Popcat, sold it. Bought $UNI and $AERO. Took a few minutes. Much easier than bridging and setting up a new wallet, getting gas tokens on target chains etc. Feels like there is a way to get jup portfolio involved in GUM as well, it's such a good product Would be cool to be able to deploy into DeFi opps from GUM (beyond lend) gum is set to be a true exchange style interface where the user can trade any asset on any chain right on Jup Team is shipping, love to see it!

the JUP token launched a little over two years ago. since then, we've been through catstanbul, catlumpur, multiple acquisitions, and the team grew from fewer than 20 people to close to 200 people at one point. one of the biggest challenges for me wasn't technical. it was changing my role. when the team was small, decisions happened with a handful of people in a room. we could debate, build, ship, and iterate within days. as the company grew, my days became almost entirely coordination. getting alignment across teams could take weeks. every morning there would be another list of decisions waiting. there was no longer any uninterrupted maker's time left on my calendar. (pg's essay on maker's schedule vs. manager's schedule captures this feeling perfectly.) for a long time, i didn't realize what was happening. the first time you're deciding whether to spend millions of dollars, you think carefully about every angle. after making enough decisions like that, they stop feeling extraordinary. your brain starts optimizing for speed. pattern recognition replaces deliberate thinking. eventually, you're no longer thinking deeply about every problem. you're just unblocking the next urgent thing. looking back, i think i spent a long period operating almost entirely on autopilot. or maybe zombie mode is the better description. nothing was wrong externally. eventually, i realized what was missing. i had stopped learning. that was probably the biggest problem. i wanted something that would force me to become a beginner again. i wanted to think deeply again. i wanted to build again. i wanted to struggle with problems i didn't already know how to solve. that became GUM. building from first principles again has been one of the most enjoyable experiences i've had in years. i find myself reading constantly, learning something new almost every day, and having technical discussions that leave me with more questions than answers. the team makes it even more fun. i'm lucky to work with engineers who have built products that facilitate billions in trading volume, security researchers who constantly challenge assumptions, and former L1 engineers who think about infrastructure from completely different perspectives. every conversation feels like an opportunity to learn. for the first time in a while, i'm uncomfortable again. and i think that's exactly where i want to be. GUM's private beta launches next monday, july 6. i'm excited to start learning from users again.

If there is one thing I do well in this company, it's sending bullet point to Kash before we talk. Simple things can make a human happy

@Laser_AL_ @jup_portfolio hey, I don't see the first post so I don't have much context here

Hey @FortuneMagazine looks like you're missing one of the biggest Defi Protocol on your Crypto list : @JupiterExchange fortune.com/ranking/crypto…

are people still interested in no-loss lotteries? (e.g. deposits go into @jup_lend, but then yield is raffled off every week, every $1 you deposit is one ticket but your principal remains protected) should we build one?

@EthYfii @agaltsow @JupSpend @JupiterExchange wen EU @JupSpend

@Geninsus @agaltsow @JupSpend @JupiterExchange When Europe??

I don't use daily all products of Jupiter but there is one I've been using quite intensively over the past weeks and it's incredibly good : Jupiter Spend (card) I use it even more than Portfolio! The cashback is the cherry on top of an already very useful product. Putting my rev share in case you guys want to try it: jupiter.go.link/93YRj s/o to @thomasstoffels and his team for doing an amazing job on Jupiter Global. Give it a try, you'll love it. note : not all countries are supported for now.

@Shoomsol @JupSpend @JupiterExchange Pretty solid, yesterday got a 177€ for 208.5$ (1.177 rate for a 1.16 on forex so 1.4%)

@Geninsus @JupSpend @JupiterExchange how are fees looking for payment in Euro?

@Pierre_C @JupSpend @JupiterExchange wen Canada @JupSpend

@Geninsus @JupSpend @JupiterExchange Looking forward to having it in Canada!

Thousands of tokens, NFTs, and TCG cards on @solana now have access to a worldwide, permissionless credit desk. Jupiter Offerbook is now in Public Beta, which means you can borrow against anything at a fixed rate and for a fixed term. Offerbook is different from every lending protocol you've ever used. Here's how it works:👇

@GuiBibeau @solana I wrote an article on how to DM people busier than yourself, based on tweets by Toly, Mert, and Balaji. Now I force all founders to read it before I run an intro to Solana Foundation or other ecosystem folks. x.com/JosipVolarevic…

I think I'm getting bad at posting here, what's the new meta ?
