@smykjain and @kashdhanda - beast mode brought on Solana. Killed it guys. Loving the CT takeover by @jup_lend and @0xfluid It’s prime time matinee for Web3. Also a case study on organic growth. Legendary

@itscharann @0xfluid Stay fluid 🌊

working on this proposal is special for me. it was one of the important things i got to work on as soon as i joined @0xfluid there were a lot of factors to think through. legal structure, region considerations, the constitution, governance, IP, treasury and more really grateful for the valuable time and willingness to share perspectives @Lomashuk / Sam from @LidoFinance, @EmilyMMeyers from @ElectricCapital and our legal counsel teams - their input genuinely helped us approach the foundation the right way what stood out to me as someone new to the team was how intentional @smykjain was about keeping everything aligned with the DAO - always making sure decisions stayed thoughtful

@DeFi_Made_Here Stay fluid 🌊

I've moved on from my role with Fluid... and I step into the director role at Fluid Foundation. Upon governance approval, Fluid will become a fully DAO-owned protocol. However, a DAO cannot have employees, nor can it directly meet AML, KYC, banking, and regulatory requirements when interacting with off-chain counterparties without compromising the decentralized governance that token holders have today. This is why we are proposing the establishment of the Fluid Foundation. The Foundation will act as a recognized legal entity serving the protocol. It will not have traditional owners; instead, it will operate through custodians and directors responsible for administering it in line with its defined purpose. The Foundation’s constitution and intent are to serve the protocol and ensure Fluid’s long-term sustainability. Its funding and mandates will come exclusively from DAO grants, and token holders will retain full oversight over objectives, budgets, and major decisions - just as they do today. Alongside the Foundation, the Fluid team is committing all intellectual property, including frontend domains, smart contracts, and related assets, to the Foundation. Rather than remaining with the team or early contributors, for the first time, token holders will get real, enforceable control over Fluid’s IP. We are also proposing a $250k monthly operational budget, distributed as a DAO grant to the Foundation. This will cover growth, engineering, risk, security, finance, marketing, and operational functions required to maintain and scale the protocol. I also want to share what we have been working on in recent months and what we aim to achieve this year. DEX v2 private audits are now completed, and the @sherlockdefi contest will conclude around March 10th. We plan to launch v2 immediately afterward. As I have mentioned before, we believe v2 has the potential to become the largest DEX in DeFi by volume across all chains this year. We are actively working with multiple institutions, both those already operating in DeFi and those preparing to come on-chain. They are not satisfied with the current DeFi offerings (name me 1 big name institution market that grew to a considerable size), as simply depositing into a vault or relying on a curator operating within a limited system is not good enough for them. Institutional onboarding is a lengthy process, involving extensive compliance and legal coordination that can take six months or longer, but we are now close to onboarding our first partners. This year, our goal is to achieve more than we have in the past two years combined: more protocols, more integrations, and more supported assets. The first protocol we plan to launch is the Lite USD vault, expected as soon as this week. On February 26th, we are launching Venus Flux on @BNBCHAIN in partnership with our dear partner @venusprotocol. We believe our deployment on BNB Chain will become one of Fluid’s largest and most important markets. Following the DEX v2 launch, we also plan to introduce an insurance protocol designed to provide additional protection for lenders. More details will be shared soon. Our deployment on Solana @jup_lend is growing extremely fast! We are launching many more products on Juplend and aiming to make it the biggest protocol on Solana this year. We are also working on a lot of off-chain initiatives (on top of our conversations with institutions I already mentioned). Can not share yet, as all of them a) take a lot of time until rolled out b) are yet to be finalized, but the internal goal for this year is $50b TVL, and we are doing our best to reach that. Stay Fluid 🌊

@DefiIgnas 🌊

New standard for DAOs: Fluid to launch a Foundation that owns all IP: smart contracts, frontend, brand, trademarks etc. The Foundation is a Cayman non-profit with no owners. Token holders have ultimate authority. Aave Labs, too, recently proposed to give ownership to a Foundation entity yet it's not voted yet. As a Fluid delegate, I will obviously vote yes.

Looking back at 2018-19, it was just L1/L2, gameFi and some other narratives making waves. If we had made this chart then, I guess RWAs would prolly make either tier C/D. Props to all the team that believed in RWAs as far back as then, and kept building in silence. It’s a different ball game now because everyone wants to know what RWAs are, and why we really want to tokenize all necessary assets. Even with all the moves rn, I still think we are in the iceberg stage. Still a lot of big things to unravel here. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s RWA szn!

@sowmay_jain @0xfluid 🌊

first agentic transaction on @0xfluid someting's brewing ☕️

@DeFi_Made_Here 🌊

btw we did not enable flashloans on Fluid cause there are a lot of free and reliable flashloans sources on EVM, but there were no free sources on Solana, so we built one

As market is crashing, almost 20 different users are liquidating together as 1 in Fluid's ETH-USDC vault on Ethereum. Positions ranging from <$1 to $250k, all liquidating together as 1. Branch now has about 20 positions. Users who entered the branch early (aka higher liquidation price) have lost almost 90% of their positions while some only 30%. The work I'm most proud of is not "Smart collateral & Smart debt". It's the liquidation algorithm! Many more innovations to come this year. Making DeFi more Fluid 🌊🌊🌊 x.com/smykjain/statu…

Exactly one year ago, I sent a message to the team about the opportunity to expand to Solana. Two months later, we started working on it. Six months after that, we launched @jup_lend in collaboration with @JupiterExchange, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we have made at @0xfluid (Jupiter team is awesome and a pleasure to work with). Today, Juplend is already bigger than Fluid native deployment on Ethereum, with massive potential ahead. New features are coming later this year, including onboarding of institutional players, new collateral types, and entirely new products. The Solana lending market TVL has also doubled since last year, with many more billions entering the ecosystem in the coming months (trust me). Our goal is to reach $10B on Solana by the end of the year, and I have no doubt we will get there. We also have the same goals for all our other major deployments, including the upcoming deployment of Fluid on BNB chain in collaboration with @VenusProtocol. Could not be more excited for what's ahead. Stay Fluid 🌊

The entire onchain lending market is going to 10x. 100x, maybe if the tokenization mania continues to explode.

While the market is down and ETH is down ~36% from ATH. @0xfluid has been doing very well. - TVL only down from $6B -> $5.1B (~17%) - Daily revenue from $50k to $30k - Active loans down by ~23% Will soon reach a new ATH with the @VenusProtocol X launch 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

4 months. Big waves. Fluid on @Plasma 🌊

This is just the beginning. Wait for 2026. 🌊

the act of creation is the only thing that justifies existence

our new @upsurgelabs studio at @ns came together faster than expected

@Flynnjamm @solus_group

who are the best marketing agencies in crypto these days? asking for a friend

Wow! Will organize something big with Fluid! 🌊🌊🌊

Fluid is where security meets scale. 🌊 With $6B+ in TVL, $120B+ in cumulative trading volume, and 170K+ monthly active wallets, Fluid has become one of the most trusted and efficient protocols in DeFi. Users and funds can lend and borrow seamlessly across Ethereum and Solana (@jup_lend), with the same experience, same architecture, and same safety guarantees. No other protocol in DeFi has an equivalent across two major VMs. Our principle is simple: the safety of users above all. Especially the lenders, the most passive participants in DeFi. In 7 years of building, we’ve never lost a single $ of user funds. We focus on long-term trust, deep liquidity, and real utility. That’s why leading funds, stablecoins, and institutions choose Fluid to power the future of onchain finance. Security first mindset. That’s what it means to Stay Fluid. 🌊

Dear “15-18 yo founder”s sending me DMs, don’t. Go and hug your parents, fall in love, eat chocolate cereal for breakfast, read poetry. Nobody will give you back these years. And sure, do your homework and learn math and code if that feels fun. But stop building SaaS and hustling. Even if career is what you are optimizing for, this is not the way. You need deep education that will withstand automation. You need to sit with linear algebra and probability theory and philosophy and literature. It won’t get you go viral on X but it’ll make you whole. And mute all the SF performative assholes. Oooops sorry this last one was a note to self.

Fluid is a conservative protocol and will remain the same. We reject most asset listing that we get on a regular basis because either the protocol is new, lack of transparency, business model doesn’t make sense, etc. 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
