Big conclusion from Accelerate: All assets - equities, bonds, money markets, cryptoassets - will eventually be traded and settled in their most capital-efficient form. And that's going to be onchain, on @solana.

Building a meaningful crypto company means learning to live with cycles. There are times when everything feels effortless, and almost every decision gets rewarded. And then there are times like now, when markets are down, sentiment is fragile, and it's natural to question where we're headed. I understand that feeling of uncertainty, I've had it myself more than once since we started. I've spent the past few weeks discussing Drift's next phase with our partners and team, and I am confident our thesis will play out right in the long run. This is what is keeping us grounded and focused: We didn't start Drift in 2021 to chase a hot meta. We started it because we believed derivatives would eventually move onchain, and that the chain supporting that future would need to be fast, cheap, and backed by a serious developer ecosystem. That belief hasn't weakened. If anything, it's been validated more today than it was back then. As more perp DEXes continue to emerge, both on and off Solana, we took a step back to look at the bigger picture and ask ourselves: What is Drift's true MOAT? What do our power users actually expect from us? That’s when the real grind began. Some of our most important work right now is quiet work. It's not just creating more marketing announcements or incentive programs. We're making sure the system we're building can scale with demand and liquidity. We're building something others can trust, extend, and build on for years, something that becomes the default tech stack for onchain derivatives. Not as a trend, but as infrastructure that outlives any single team or cycle. Regarding the token: I know many people are watching the price, and that's completely understandable. Drawdowns hurt morale and raise questions. I want to be clear: there are no unscheduled unlocks. The Drift Foundation is already exploring ways to tie the protocol closer to the token, but I believe that should only happen once the core product is even stronger. More than price action, here's what I'm watching: - Are builders still choosing to build here? - Are traders still finding real execution here? - Is our foundation stronger this year than last? On all three counts, the answer is yes. If you're here for the long term, I want you to know this: We're not building Drift for this quarter. We're building it for a world where onchain derivatives are the default, and Solana is where that world runs. Thank you to everyone who has stayed, built, and believed with us through the hard parts. We're still here. And we're still building. - Cindy
