ANECDOTE

Calm Buying During A Market Shock

  • During the weekend market shock DK's team calmly diagnosed cross‑collateralized leverage as the root cause.
  • They then debated aggressiveness and used the dip as a buying opportunity rather than panic selling.
INSIGHT

Solana Treasuries Use On‑Chain Yield

  • Solana treasuries can outcompete BTC-only treasuries by deploying assets on-chain to generate yield.
  • DeFi DevCorp stakes to its own validators and uses on-chain loops to organically grow SOL holdings.
ADVICE

Run Your Own Validator For More Yield

  • Own validator infrastructure to capture higher staking yields and avoid third‑party fees.
  • Experiment with liquidity primitives like liquid staking tokens and restaking loops to squeeze incremental yield.
