Off topic - is Firedancer going to survive Jump winding down its crypto arm?

Kanav left, they liquidated a huge staked ETH position a few months ago (+ a bunch of other coins), and the SEC/CFTC is all over them for the Terra Luna fiasco.

Rumors of Jump’s demise are greatly exaggerated. Check the torrent of firedancer talks at Solana Breakpoint literally next week and decide yourself.

Folks have said jump is gonna die for 20+ years. They’ve been around 30ish…

Parent asked a specific question about the survival of Firedancer and winding down of the crypto arm though. No demise of Jump mentioned.

You will see a half dozen or so talks about firedancer and probably 35-40 or so of us total (I’m at the company that does security for firedancer, Asymmetric Research. We were founded by former jumpers).

You can make the determination on your own, but there will be an obvious large showing of firedancer folks and some exciting updates for the project.
