@ynonestop's Breakpoint Meter

Life update: after 3.5 years, my chapter at the Solana Foundation has come to an end. 🤍 I joined Solana in 2023, when Solana was going through one of its toughest moments. Believing in it wasn’t the obvious choice back then. But I believed in the tech, the mission, and more importantly, the people. What started as growing Solana in Greater China became much more than a job. Over the past 3.5 years I worked with the MCM Tiger Team (@gizmothegizzer, Adam, Daniel, and later @1cryptosheep), founders, developers, investors and partners across Asia. We built the largest and most active Chinese community @Solana_zh, we ran hackathons, accelerators, Hacker Houses in the region to support talented Chinese founders and developers; and rebuilt Solana’s presence in the region from the ground up. The past 3.5 years was an amazing ride, we saw an underdog chain become the most used and one of the most influential chain in the world, and we see how many genius smart founders being here with us to build this ecosystem and build towards the vision we have : a new financial system on chain. I’m deeply grateful to @calilyliu — my role model from day one — and to @chloejiani, @Pedromiranda , @YiranAnna, @platis_e, @niran7, @steffstar95, @kingshihua, @MacroMate8, @ramzyyalii , @Mikkke_crypto and so many of rest of the team. Working with you was a privilege. You are all so smart, kind, hardworking and fun, working with you and shipping together towards our goal is a pure joy. Just at my leaving, Lily reminded me on the special concept about Hotel Solana: you can check in, but you never truly leave. She’s right, and that’s what makes Solana feels like home rather than just a job. For the next: I’m taking some time to recharge and follow my curiosity into AI and what’s next. If you know any interesting startups I should talk to, feel free to DM. Not quite a goodbye. More like checking into a different room at Hotel Solana. Once a builder, always a builder. 💜 (Pic from my first breakpoint )
