all of it while raising for a school with solana:EU5WWxWBjDzfs3pvb6N7yuc6gBfo5Ltao6qfdXDiH2U3
solanaschool.in
solanaschool.in/transparency.h⌠raised. a token launched from a train, a village school as the goal, strangers who bought in because they believed a kid from rajasthan could pull this off. thank you.
now, a week off. for my body and my head.
shoe bites on both feet. four hours of sleep a night for a month. a different bed every night.
then solana summit on nov 2. if youâre there, come say hi.
after that, a proper plan for the funds we raised. the full breakdown, where every dollar goes, written properly and posted publicly before anything moves.
first donation drive is already set. end of november or first week of december.
see you after 1 week

How I made $6K PnL in 30 days on $10K principal market making perps ($158m+ volume).
The strat was entirely built by me and my quant, Claude (he won a national math competition in China).
Last night I asked if you'd want a guide. Hundreds of you said yes, so here it is: HFT for meline when I did it:
- Days for basic harness and venue integrations.
- Weeks to get it semi-competitive.
- Months to really tune and get it properly profitable.
This series can hopefully shortcut the learning curve for you.
I've been writing trading bots since 2017. It's how I got into crypto (free market data!), and how I met my co-founder.
Back then the barrier was high. You had to know how to code, to study data to find alpha, and to grind devops to have systems not blow up in production. Thankfully I taught myself Python and later Rust, but not everyone has a CS degree.
Nowadays with LLMs, anyone can have a skilled quant in their pocket. I use it for data analysis, strategy tuning, research and alpha generation and infra optimisation. It's a ridiculous time saver.
I'm extremely bullish on one-person quant shops. I think this will be a huge trend this next decade as finance comes on chain and market data and connectivity are accessible to anyone. I've already met many hobbyists who've made a living trading on e.g. Hyperliquid, enough so to quit their day jobs.
What we'll be building
A delta-neutral, reference-price market maker.
Binance is where most price discovery happens. We stream its market data, use it as a reference price, and quote a bid and an ask around it on another venue. I'm using @Bulletxyz because it's the one I know best.
Market making is the business of picking up pennies. Mine are under half a basis point per dollar. Enough pennies add up at the scale of millions of volume.
The catch is speed. If the market moves and you're slow to update, someone lifts your stale quote and you're the exit liquidity. It's a fun game of algorithmic cat and mouse.
On Bullet, takers get a 100ms speed bump. Why? It gives soon-to-be market makers like you a safety buffer so you don't get steamrolled by billion dollar firms with microwave towers.
The goal
The goal: tick to order sent in under 10ms. Stretch goal: under 1ms, which is very achievable if you're determined. We'll also focus on minimising jitter (randomness) because your slowest orders are the ones that will lose you the most pnl.
Agenda:
I'll aim to post one topic a day, going from easy wins, and getting progressively more deep in the weeds. If you work at any HFT firm this will all be elementary stuff, but hopefully it's helpful for newcomers.
Saving seconds
1. Basic intro to algo-trading (this post)
2. Running a simple market maker from your laptop
3. Measure once, cut twice: telemetry and Amdahl's law
4. AWS: Infra and colocation
Saving millis
5. Stop polling: websockets are your friend
6. Optimising order execution
7. How to not get rekt by API rate limits
8. Linux tuning: CPU pinning, IRQs and other nerd stuff
Saving micros (diminishing returns, but fun)
9. Optimising the hot path with CPU profiling in Rust
10. AWS: the last mile
11. Bonus: nonces (and other DeFi quirks)
I'll try share some open source code along with it. Don't expect to be beating Jump in the orderbooks just yet. It should be a good baseline that you can extend and take it as far as you want (you can take it pretty far!).
Tomorrow: setting up a basic MM in Rust, the architecture of which will roughly follow the diagram attached below.

today JIO lists on the stock market and honestly i owe this company more than any stock i'll ever buy
if JIO wasn't there in indiaâ¨i wouldn't be where i am today
let me explain
before 2016, 1gb of data cost ~âš228â¨the average indian used ~240mb a month
â¨the internet was something you "checked", not something you lived on
then jio came
â¨free internet. then the cheapest data in the world
â¨âš228/gb became ~âš8/gb
â¨215 million people joined in under 2 years
i was one of those kids
a kid from rajasthan with a budget phone and a âš149 recharge
â¨no connections. no fancy degree. no plan but i had unlimited data
so i watched youtube till 3am
â¨learnt marketing by breaking things
â¨found crypto twitter before my friends knew what bitcoin was
â¨started posting. started building. started getting paid on the internet
today the average indian uses 25gb+ a month
â¨and i'm a gtm marketer in dubai working with teams across the world
none of this happens without cheap data
jio didn't just sell sim cards
â¨they handed a whole generation of indian kids a shot
and today they ring the bell
grateful forever

hey I'm Vijay, a developer from Kerala building on @solana for over 2 yrs
i'm currently building kimo, an on-chain dating style app on solana that connects people based on their token holdings and nft collections.
it's already live on the solana dApp store!
i'm hoping to make bai to connect with fellow builders, get real feedback on kimo and explore how to take it further.
so see you in mumbai?
