The best place to trade @Zcash is starting to be @solana. Across $500 to $3k ZEC/USDC fills this year, Solana beat Binance’s executable ZEC/USDC book by ~7 bps at the median versus VIP 9 and won ~62% of comparisons. The comparison replays Binance’s ZEC/USDC order book and walks the same zcash:native size immediately before each Solana fill. Still small clips, but a real signal that long-tail execution is starting to move onchain. Everything @mert could ask for.


wanted to provide a quick update - a pretty prominent project on solana has refused to pay our team and allegedly a significant number of other people inside of their co and outside of the ecosystem its hard to communicate how deeply this has affected our work. its had a debilitating impact on us for the last 3 months non-payment is a huge issue in crypto and the expectation is that agencies shouldn't discuss these things out in public i’ve given ample time for the team to respond and present solutions, but I’ve received no official plan of action at all. frankly, its put a large damper on our outlook, faith and forecast in the ecosystem. if you've been affected and know who im talking about, please feel free to DM






I've been working on something new, and tomorrow we get to start telling you more about it. Of all the things I've built, this feels by far the most ambitious. It's a company I didn't expect to start, in a year where everything about how you build is changing. It's also a problem that has absolutely gripped me by its opportunity, inevitability, and the depth of difficulty associated with getting it right. It's the first time I've felt genuinely early to something - exhilarating, terrifying, and a hell of a thing to wake up and tackle every morning. We're backed by @ycombinator and I owe a massive thank you to @t_blom, @kul, & the broader YC community for their guidance, support, and belief. I could (& probably will) write a lot more about how a startup community I already had a great impression of still managed to blow me away from the inside. We go live tomorrow - I'll see you there.
