Liquidations went through just fine.

Had no reason to panic.

The work that went into making the Kamino frontend buttery smooth was also ported into the liquidator which made 99% of the liquidations transactions land.

Shoutout to:

(1) Phoenix 🔥🦅 - their limit orders…

And up we go. Solana v1.18 will break records and be an eye opener for the industry made up of mostly ghost chains barely being used with little adoption curve and incentive for adoption.

Solana is only getting started as we move to the last iterations and tests of mainnet…

The Fuse UX is a blasphemy.

More thoughts soon, but Jesus.

Gmino, a Friday morning confession:

One of the benefits of being an extremely paranoid person is that risk analysis work and code safety work is what puts me at ease and gives me joy 😂

We spend an unbelievable amount of time testing at Kamino Lend and it's one of the things…

🔺Despite market fluctuations, Kamino has recorded an average of over 1000 successful transactions in an hour in April so far!

I created a Flipside 📊 dashboard highlighting the protocol's move so far

Let's dive deeper!

Me when the product guys want to add more things to this week's sprint:

Be kind.

Everyone's going through something you don't know anything about.

There are currently 3 high impact optimisations in the pipeline to improve UX and transaction landing rate on Kamino. Hope we can ship them within in one week and then post the results.

Confession: I am doing them reluctantly.

However, this is the flipside of not doing…

the amount of dev effort being spent on ensuring the kamino txn ux is butter is pretty ludicrous right now

there is no higher priority

interested to hear how it's been for users over the past 2-3 days? have txns been smooth? on avg how many tries does it take to get it through?

Looking forward to Solana Crossroads ✨ ISTANBUL May 10-11, 2024 in Istanbul next month!

deBridge is my favourite bridge in crypto, by far.

They are the first ones to come up with cross-chain limit orders / intents.

And now they give you points to try it out.

The problem all chains wish they had.

Adoption is all about users.

$SOL

Anywhere between 30-50K users are connecting their wallets to the Kamino dApp every day

up only.

Solana is lucky to have ilmoi | Tensor and Richard | Tensor (sol/acc).

Grass fed, glass chewing, homegrown manlets.

Good luck with the launch!

If you’re wondering why Kamino’s txns are buttery smooth, you should look into Ironforge, the Solana infra you didn’t know you needed.

Can attest to this.
Never had a dropped transaction on Kamino and was extremely confused when a complex single sided liquidity addition (which involved a trade + LP + vault addition) went through instantly but a SOL send from one wallet to another on backpack got dropped.

What congestion?

Use Kamino: app.kamino.finance

Finally accepted the idea that I will just have to keep on working on the next biggest bottleneck that relieves the most amount of pressure on the team, in perpetuity.

Been doing this unknowingly for a long time and I just kept thinking that once the next big one is done, I will…

Feels good when conviction pays off. Very happy with the $KMNO distribution.

I've been publicly shilling Kamino for months now as a high conviction bet.

My goal is always to share my research and conviction plays so everyone can eat. Kamino, Jito, and Wormhole were proof of…
