We use our treasury to support the growth of the Solana economy. That is, definitionally, DeFi.
But economies don’t exist in isolation. For Solana to be healthy, all of defi has to be healthy.
We like competition. We compete hard. But if we zoom out, we’re all pushing toward open finance and open systems.
We’ve deployed our treasury into Solana DeFi for many years. We supported Tether’s recovery plan for Drift.
In moments like these, it’s important to show up for the broader ecosystem too.
That’s why we are lending USDT into @aave for the first time to support their recovery efforts, and we will also be bringing $AAVE to Solana this weekend.

Can confirm that the @SolanaFndn team is lean, sharp and shows up big
The mission is clear:
- Relentlessly back builders
- Strengthen the ecosystem
- Set Solana up for continued long term success
BIG year ahead

Still under 90 people at @SolanaFndn. Looks like 300 from the outside. 65% of us have been there less than a year. Just spent a week with them in New York and I've never been more bullish on what's coming. Accelerate.

“Newspapers didn’t go away they started publishing on the internet. I think that’s the same thing we’re seeing here.
Visa’s not going away ... They’re using Solana for settlement between merchants and issuers"

Seraphim says tokenized chinese ipos could be the biggest unlock in crypto:
“if you’re an american, you can’t get hold of these chinese ipos… it’s very hard."
“all it takes is a team to bring it on chain and anyone in the world can buy it.”

Techie speak “single state machine”
Translated means “unified liquidity”
Solana@solana
.@SolanaFndn President, @calilyliu explains why Solana is built for unified liquidity "The most important thing in finance is liquidity. No one is ever bigger than the market. The market will always win, liquidity will always win, and people will ultimately trade off every last thing in order to be part of the largest market. The idea that you could potentially create a marketplace available to 5.5 billion people, the population of people on the internet. There's no pool of liquidity which is ever going to be larger than that. That reinforces why the architecture of Solana from the beginning has been the preferred one. It prioritizes the number one thing about financial markets: unified liquidity."

"Ethereum could only process 10 to 15 transactions per second. Solana can process 50,000, even more, with super low cost. It's super energy efficient. That was night and day."

.@solstrategies entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Darklake Labs for $1.2M.
The acquisition brings zero-knowledge infrastructure to the publicly traded Solana treasury and validator operator.

We're tripling down on security for Solana DeFi:
- New security program with @asymmetric_re
- Hands-on opsec reviews and public reports
- A 24/7 active threat monitoring center
- A dedicated network for real-time crisis response
- Formal verification for top protocols
Solana Foundation@SolanaFndn
Solana was built for security. As the ecosystem scales, so does our investment in the tools, standards, and support. Today that commitment deepens with a new security program, active monitoring, formal verification for top protocols, and a new crisis response network. Learn more 👇

I've survived 3 bear markets for this moment
I'm joining @SolanaFndn as Head of Product Marketing
I've been in this space long enough to know the difference between another cycle and a real shift
This is a shift
Stablecoins have processed $21.5 trillion in onchain transfer volume since January with Solana hitting $650B in stablecoin volume last month - more than any chain ever
Stablecoin volume on Solana overtook Ethereum in December and Real World Assets on just hit an ATH crossing $2B
Visa, PayPal, Worldpay, SoFi and the world's biggest financial players are building on the network
And this is just the first wave
The path for real adoption of onchain finance is finally becoming clear
And Solana is where it's happening
The most transactions processed, the most active addresses, the most developers
It's Solana's time
I'm joining to help the whole ecosystem grow by helping more businesses and people understand and use the network for payments, trading, finance, and whatever comes next
In my career I've marketed to 250M+ users, built institutional brands from scratch, developed growth programs that scale, managed global campaigns, and brought communities and builders together across the world
Everything I've learned goes toward one thing now
Making Solana win
Let's cook

While everyone is taking the time to dance on @solana.
Can not but admire the hustle of team members like @ramzyyalii, @vibhu, and @calilyliu.
Ramzy has been messaging and coordinating with myself and other founders non-stop. This service is why founders love the ecosystem.

The Drift incident hits hard, it stings for the whole ecosystem.
Drift has been working around the clock to investigate and contain it. We're supporting where possible.
Smart contracts held up. The real targets now are humans: social engineering and opsec weaknesses more than code exploits.
Solana has come through tough spots before by shipping faster, building better, looking out for each other - and shipping safer.
Stay safe, watch your own setups, and keep building.
More updates as they come.
Drift@DriftProtocol
Earlier today, a malicious actor gained unauthorized access to Drift Protocol through a novel attack involving durable nonces, resulting in a rapid takeover of Drift’s Security Council administrative powers. This was a highly sophisticated operation that appears to have involved multi-week preparation and staged execution, including the use of durable nonce accounts to pre-sign transactions that delayed execution.

Solana ecosystem active users: 12.1M
All other L1s combined: 15.1M
That’s 44% of all L1 users
in a single ecosystem.
The data tells you everything.
Nearly half the users are all in one ecosystem for a reason.
