Hello Orca Governance Council & Community,
My name is Logan Jastremski - I’d like to nominate myself for the Orca Governance Council.
I am the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Frictionless, a thesis-driven fund investing from first principles backing world-changing entrepreneurs. I host weekly podcasts with the top technical and investing minds within the Industry and previously led Product for Tesla’s Supercharging Digital Experience Team.
Unique benefits you would bring to the Council: I’ve spent the past couple of years studying blockchain scalability and the markets enabled by the increased throughput. I’ve also started one of the more technical podcasts in the blockchain ecosystem, interviewing founders on their engineering and product designs. I believe my technical background and Industry connections can be leveraged to help the Orca Governance Council.
How you would represent the interests of the Orca community: Orca has been a bedrock of the Solana community since the beginning. I’ve been continually impressed by the team’s ability to execute and adapt throughout the rapidly changing blockchain ecosystem. Orca can remain a premiere trading product in the ecosystem for bootstrapping token liquid and price discovery if the Council and engineers stay nimble and quick. My contributions to the Orca community would be guidance on product and engineering roadmaps. I believe these contributions would greatly benefit the Orca community.
What do you think the Council’s top priorities should be for 2024? I believe Orca should double down on being the ecosystem premiere spot to enable new tokens to bootstrap liquidity, something AMM is uniquely well suited for in early price discovery. I would also strongly recommend the Council explore ways to leverage/partner/ or build an on-chain order book. Solana’s engineering robustness has come a long way since Orca was deployed initially, and today, the chain can expand and support more robust engineering possibilities. I’d recommend that the Council continue to grow product offerings for traders and liquidity providers, ensuring both parties have the tool sets required to succeed at scale as on-chain becomes the new normal.
