With the TGE taking place in just 2 days, I thought I’d take a moment to reflect on our journey so far and the impact we’ve had on liquidity provision within Solana DeFi. @DeFiTuna is a little over half a year old. When we launched, there was no concept of PnL tracking for liquidity providers on the front-end, no calculators, no clear-cut transparency to help users understand their risks. In many cases, protocols were simply “existing,” and to be fair, there’s nothing inherently wrong with that. When we launched DefiTuna, we decided to start simple: introduce a leverage component to liquidity farming. Before that, LPs had no way to amplify their position size on CLMMs or take a directional hedge. Our team was meticulously curious. We saw the first droplets of users streaming into our Discord full of questions, full of intrigue. $70,000 TVL became $1M… then $10M… and before we knew it, we had built a serious community. A group of people who recognized our effort, our innovation, and chose to ride with us. The experience was truly humbling. We felt small compared to the power of our community. The path forward became obvious: we need to strengthen that unity and build this together not just as a team, but as a collective. As Tunas. One of the reasons I’ve always been fascinated by crypto is because of its promise: open participation in decentralized markets. And to be part of that vision not only as a community member, but as a founder sitting in the driver’s seat is truly a one-in-a-billion opportunity. I wanted to make sure I did it right. Along the way, especially in the lead-up to the $TUNA TGE, we were offered all kinds of tempting marketing propositions. Airdrop the token to farm engagement and followers. Use third-party tools. Zombie-attack @Orca, @Raydium, and @Meteora with prolonged airdrop campaigns. Time and time again, I said no. We do not farm our users no matter what. We follow this script: 1)Build for others as you would build for yourself. 2)Build things no one has built before. 3)No endless airdrop extortion. Token value comes from many things. One of the most important is the price you have to pay to attain it and that cost isn’t always measured in dollars. Our values and focus should be clear to everyone by now. Don’t judge us by our words judge us by our actions. And my promise is that we will always maintain the highest level of integrity. Without further ado $TUNA is perhaps the purest representation of alignment between a DeFi platform and its users. I believe we’ve conducted ourselves and carried our token with integrity at every step. $TUNA is your bet on Solana. It’s your bet on decentralization. And it’s your bet on advanced decentralized AMM's including @FusionAMM . Everyone’s aligned. Project, team, community together. I’m bullish on myself. I’m bullish on the community. I’m bullish on the team. July 30th I’m aping.
