I’ve just secured a diabolical relationship for @ImperialPerps .
And yes I’m hammered.
And yes it’s Halloween.
I will outwork any of you.
On any given day.

Being early and loud about something is never the easiest choice, but it is always the bravest one
Being early is riskier. Being loud means people will be mad at you if it goes wrong
Life is a game of volume. It’s not about being right every time, it’s about making decisions based on your own thesis, letting your wins outperform your losses, and building the character you are becoming today, along with your future destiny
We’ve been early on so many things: Variational (June 2025); Ink (Day 1, since testnet); TrueNorth (March 2026); TxFlow (June 2026); Imperial (July 2026); Metric (the most recent one, I've been watching it since stealth)
I reckon there have been some bad calls, like Hotstuff (it could have been a solid all-in DeFi platform), 01 (mainly because Cited was backing the project back then), and Hibachi (?; I’ve always liked the idea of combining privacy with the perp dex narrative, and the vision of bringing FX spot on-chain via an institutional layer)
At the same time, we’ve saved money on a lot of projects that have either shut down, are not performing well, or that I simply preferred to watch from the sidelines: EdgeX, Ostium, Pacifica, AFX, Dango, RiseX, Bulk, Arcus, Perpl, JTX, Phoenix, and the list goes on
Today marks another milestone for @ImperialPerps, what I believe should become the first venue on Solana. And to everyone who followed the signal early (it’s still early), congrats
qts will continue until morale improves
there’s a perps platform on Solana that did over $100M in volume this month.
It’s called @ImperialPerps
no QT from Toly
and Matt has no idea it exists I guess? or he’s just acting like he doesn’t?
Either way, his performative ignorance is telling

We’re watching it happen now with @ImperialPerps , imo.
Momentum is becoming significant.
Yesterday we did over $100m in vol in one month.
Did this without a single dollar spent on user acquisition. Nobody in the industry can say the same. Not one single team.
Something special is happening here and I think if you gave us a second look you’d concur.

I often get asked about our vision for Volmex and what the end game is.
Today, we are known as the leader in Bitcoin and crypto volatility indices. As we say, BVIV everywhere: Hyperliquid, Polymarket, Bloomberg Terminal, Bybit, Bitfinex, and many other platforms. This will always be a key focus, and there’s still so much to do.
As we grow, I see Volmex evolving into a new-age index conglomerate, building benchmarks for frontier markets and beyond.
Markets and technology keep advancing, and new indices are needed. Volmex is well positioned to build these benchmarks and make them ubiquitous.
@volmexfinance is the index conglomerate of the future.

I’ve been at Imperial for a while now and I never said anything publicly about it until today.
We just crossed $100M in monthly trading volume. It’s a meaningful number, and I’m grateful.
Most of the credit belongs to the co-founders @redacted_j and Hunter.
They’ve set an extremely high bar on product quality and on actually understanding what traders need.
The other half of the credit goes to the users and community. The Imperial Army has been patient through closed beta, through product changes, and through the normal early friction that happens with startup.
You don’t reach this kind of volume without traders who keep showing up and giving real feedback.
I also want to thank the broader @solana community. A lot of the help we’ve received has been quiet introductions, technical input, people who just answered questions or pointed us in better directions.
That kind of informal support has made a real difference.
Still early. Still a lot of work left.
Humbled to be here.
