i actually love Istanbul! but metaphors are no place for personal preferences 😅

It is important to set out our intention with @jup_studio. I have been discussing Studio with @9yointern, @weremeow and team all week. Thank you all for your feedback. Firstly, Studio is built for creators, concepts and communities which are interesting and enduring. We are specifically not building for industrial token style launches, for which there are many other incredible venues. Secondly, we intend to fully support tokens which have strong communities, interesting use cases and enduring founders. Finally, Studio itself may be an experiment in meta-shifting, but is fully supported by @JupiterExchange. It is here to stay. We are cognizant of the feedback from creators, traders and the community. Firstly, the perhaps loudest feedback is around the perception of mixed messaging coming from the @jup_studio account, and the general 'confusing' signaling from the Jupiter team. Secondly, there is creator and community feedback relating to product-related features, such as demand for CTO-supporting features and airdrop / burn features. Thirdly, there are questions around graduation market caps, starting liquidity and optimal settings. Will first address the elephant in the room - the perceived mixed messaging which has affected traders confidence and volumes, which could potentially spillover into creators experiences. We have set out our intention for Studio above, and we intend to clearly champion and signal our support for tokens with strong communities and interesting use cases, with a particular focus on long-term committed founders and projects. We are also aware of the need to attract and retain traders' interest. This is something we will actively develop and grow over time. The various levers for supporting and growing the ecosystem will be clearly communicated in the coming days and as the Studio ecosystem develops. Secondly, we are in the process of developing a CTO function, as well as other functions to facilitate community building and project management. We will continue developing this according to feedback. Finally, we are actively monitoring and adjusting default settings to ensure tokens graduate with sufficient liquidity. Feel free to reach out to @9yointern or myself if you are intending to launch a project on Studio and have any questions. We also welcome any new creators, particularly those with interesting concepts and enduring communities. We are actively tracking projects on Studio, and I personally find the following projects to be of interest.

Solana fam: we've started planning for Breakpoint 2025. Breakpoint 2025 centers on two themes: Revenue and Returns. No vanity. We’re putting the mic in the hands of teams printing revenue or delivering alpha. Founders, investors and engineers helping them win. The trenches and institutions are both united by the chaos engine that is internet capital markets -- giving us a generational opportunity to reinvent capital markets. This year, we feature them all onstage. Panels are still banned. Expect product keynotes, team vs. team debates, react-style interviews, and fireside chats between peers in the arena. It’s all going down in Abu Dhabi -- the capital of capital. Breakpoint is alongside Abu Dhabi Finance Week and Formula 1. Everyone who is anyone in tech and finance will be there. If you're building product or backing teams on Solana, you'll want to be there. Book your tickets! Want to speak? Apply now. or harangue @calilyliu in her DMs at your own risk. Link below 🔽

okay. now the Pump token has gone live and i can finally sit down and review what have happened in the past few days. a few things: - after working on solana for the past 5 years, a launch like this wouldn't be even possible 1 year ago. this has shown how much solana has grown from the technical perspective. no hiccups and the chain is smooth. - that aside, the community is so strong now that a 500m raise is possible within 10 minutes. - mulitple billion protocols on solana would have been something that no one would have thought of just few years ago. - and, these are protocols with actual revenue. sometimes, millions a day. and, it is only the beginning.

Here are some top projects that built valuable physical products in Solana 📱 @solanamobile 💳 @KASTcard 🎮 @playsolana 📳 @helium 💍 @CudisWellness ⌚️ @PulseNoLimits 💲 @solflare 🛍️ @solanaspaces 🦖 @Claynosaurz 🛜 @dawninternet 🐝 @Hivemapper 🍃 @grass 💰 @Ledger 🔐 @unruggable_io 🐻 @okaybears 📲 @JamboTechnology What else am I missing?

wait you're telling me solana has multiple multi-billion dollar startups. with more being minted every month. and you're bearish?

jupiter is organizing the world's assets, making them universally accessible and useful. higher.

.@sssionggg & @kashdhanda leading the charge on revamping and reinvigorating our communications with JUP holders and jupiverse stakeholders we have done a lot already that’s very much overlooked (large part is definitely my fault), and there is so much, so much more to come. our core has always been product, innovation, experiments (PIE), so we will 1000000% be getting back to that after a very distracting start to 2025. still day 0, would love to build day 1 together! ❤️❤️❤️

lemme summarize 30 pages in 1 sentence for you: just use jupiter.
