I just tested JTX of @jito_sol Here's what I think of it: - no platform fee (Jupiter Ultra has 0.1%-0.5%) - limit orders no fees as well - stocks 0.1% fees - gasless swaps are missing - smart fill and TWAP very cool - UI and UX smooth like a CEX - csv/excel file to download - can create different wallets for same account - liquidity levels are missing cc: @kbeards @justinknox__ @Blockanalia

"It's always been a misperception in our industry that these large banks are going to come in and take over. What we're seeing and will continue to see is our native companies going out and taking territory from them." @kbeards on @_TalkingTokens

I am thrilled to join the Jito Foundation! Jito is already core infrastructure for Solana, and the team is exceptional, mission driven, and tackling some of the hardest problems in the ecosystem. I am looking forward to helping grow institutional adoption of Jito’s products and Solana more broadly.

I’m glad to share that the future of Ctrl Wallet and the $CTRL token is secure. We’ve signed a long-term services agreement with a major fintech institution. This will allow Ctrl Wallet to continue growing in the years ahead and unlock new revenue streams. > Ctrl Wallet remains independant > Our team stays in place, focused entirely on the wallet > The $CTRL token stays live, with token economics unchanged For our community, this is an important win; It means we can shift our full focus back to what matters most: the products. Over the past five years, we’ve built Ctrl Wallet into one of the most trusted wallets in the space: > Support for more chains than any other wallet > Best-in-class UX with top ratings > Billions in assets safeguarded for hundreds of thousands of users With this new chapter, we’re focused on unlocking the next phase of growth, with a clear plan to revalue $CTRL around the new revenue streams we’re building. Thanks to everyone in the community for your patience and support throughout this process. More soon.

Bridging has never been easier with Ctrl Wallet. Access the most swap and bridge routes of any wallet & Use the Gas Tank to pay gas fee with $USDC if you don't have the native token. We make it easy to Take Ctrl of your crypto.
