1/ If this is what aging looks like, sign me up to go gray 😉
But in all seriousness — while it's kind of crazy that @orca_so is considered OG after just 7 months live, it's also a testament to the value of growing at your own pace.

2/ When @rawfalafel and I started Orca, we had no outside support.
No investors, no insider info... no "in" besides an inimitable belief that we could build something of true value.

3/ In many ways, we were in over our heads.
But @aeyakovenko and the team saw something in us and included us in the first wave of #Solana grants.
That vote of support gave us the confidence that we could build something big—and do it on our own terms.

4/ Everything in that first version of Orca, from the UI to the logo to the brand voice, was handcrafted by the two of us.
We made mistakes, sure. But as a result, our little whale has a human touch—a real personality—that stands out in DeFi.

5/ Founders: Don't be afraid to do things your way.
I was once told that "Orca makes too many puns."
Guess they just couldn't appreciate our kriller personality 🦐
