A note on the Polymarket positions you've seen on-chain - the account named "P2P Team" is ours. We wanted to come out honestly. The capital came from our foundation account and all proceeds return to it. Here's the full picture. 10 days before our raise went live, we placed bets that we'd hit our $6M+ target. At that point we had one oral commitment from Multicoin ($3M) - no signed term sheets, no guaranteed allocations, nothing binding. We were betting on ourselves. We'd told the market we were raising over $6M. We believed we could. That bet was our way of backing our word with our own money at a moment when the outcome was genuinely uncertain. Over the following 10 days we made our case, secured commitments, and the raise closed at $5.2M - entirely from outside investors we don't control. We understand why this raises questions. Trading on an outcome you can influence erodes trust. We don't believe we were trading on a done deal, but we recognize reasonable people can see it differently. We named the account "P2P Team" deliberately - to give a marketing signal of our presence to the community and reflect our intent to be transparent. But intent isn't the same as action. Not disclosing at the time was a mistake we own. We took time to study the legal implications before speaking, which is why we stayed silent until now with a "No Comments" stance! - that too is a fair criticism. All proceeds go back into our futarchy-governed MetaDAO treasury. We will be liquidating all positions in the next few hours and are putting together a formal company policy on prediction market trading going forward. One thing we want to be unambiguous about: MetaDAO (@MetaDAOProject ) had zero knowledge of or involvement in these bets. We're genuinely excited to join this community and wanted to start on the right note - which means being straight with you about this.

Announcing the @Solana Frontier Hackathon, April 6 - May 11, 2026. 🏔️ Sign up today and compete in crypto's largest online startup competition: colosseum.com/frontier More details coming soon.

Need to address some glaring inaccuracies in the current discourse about @Solana. Would bet a significant amount that we (at SF & as an ecosystem) do more to support founders/builders than any other network, and it’s probably not even that close. First, let’s talk about funding: - Since Jan 1, we’ve run 3 Hackathons (Privacy, Consumer/NFTs/Gaming, Agents), and Labs ran their own (Mobile), and there are many more coming including the global Solana hackathon with Colosseum. Additionally, eco teams like Ranger and Arcium recently debuted hackathons. These come with millions in prizes. - Solana builders can join @colosseum or @incubator for YC-style funding, investments, and mentorship with our direct support. Founders in Colosseum alone have gone on to raise $650 million+ in venture funding. - @Superteam is our global founder network, with thousands of members - and we just launched Superteam USA to fund and assist founders in the biggest market. Superteam is Solana family, designed for builders. - Superteam offers instagrants up to $10k + Earn which has paid out millions, YC founders building on Solana can get up to $50k extra, Kalshi x Solana has a $2m fund for prediction markets, and SF offers evergreen grants for open source & public goods with a $40k average check size. Many other teams offer grant-style funding as well, including Monke Foundry, Metaplex, Wormhole, Bonk, Seeker, etc. In total, Foundation and adjacent entities fund tens of millions collectively each year into early stage startups and builders who are advancing the network, with no equity commitments or tradeoffs - in service of growing the ecosystem. Second, let’s talk about distribution: - Foundation holds events all over the world directly, including Accelerate and Breakpoint, but also assists with funding and resources for community events like mtndao, Solana Summit, and many other hyper regional events. Our entire goal: put builders on stage, give them an audience, and then help them distribute their message. - Since Jan 1, @Solana has amplified 300+ different ecosystem companies. In fact we handle so much inbound load from teams wanting amplification that we built multiple targeted handles to do this even better, like @capitalmarkets, @solanapayments, and @x402. - Even in Gaming, we dedicate distribution resources to builders through @solanagaming, and stream games multiple times per week. - Our distribution has real impact. Last month we sent our live team to @mtndao to host Demo Day, and platformed dozens of builders by putting them on stage, livestreaming them, and then clipping their segments. One team, Tapestry, noted that after the stream they had thousands of new downloads on their mobile app. - @Luminaries, our top content creator collective, distributes stories from ecosystem builders through 50+ influencers across many different channels - We produce hundreds of high quality videos and clips per year across stories, explainers, and education that feature our ecosystem teams - SF hosts 10 regular podcasts to feature ecosystem teams, and sponsors and produces countless others, like The Index and Genfinity. In this case, we acquire media channels & time and we directly book guests from our ecosystem that have a story to tell Last year, we led all crypto networks in total impressions and engagement on X & LinkedIn. Again, I would guess it wasn't really that close. If you’re building on Solana, our firehose is yours to use. Solana is not only the best place to build, it’s the best place to win customers and build a giant business. No network has produced more multi-billion $ companies with real, sustainable businesses and moats. If we don’t know you yet and you’re here, we would love to hear from you and see how we can help. That’s quite literally our job. Don't believe everything you read on X 🫡
