🚨 LEAK According to our internal database, we will introduce a 7 tier badge system in Season 0. What could this mean? (follow for more leaks by intern, until I’m fired)

The last puzzle piece... Several Solana teams are about to ship prediction markets, perps, and better trading infrastructure to @solana Backyard is putting the final key piece in place: the yield layer 🧩 Season 0 is close.

career update: Today, I’m excited to announce the next step in my journey, as I’ll be joining the @backyard_fi team as Growth Lead. Unironically, it feels like for the first time in my professional career, I’m in the right place, at the right time, with the right team. Ready to keep pushing the boundaries of the Solana ecosystem and build a product I genuinely like, and believe has strong PMF and real need & fit within the Solana DeFi and broader community. If you’re hearing about Backyard just now, it’s a full-cycle yield manager on Solana, allows users to create diversified, combined strategies with custom parameters and full management freedom. We’re focused on stablecoins right now, but our core mission is to cover any Solana yield assets (RWAs, stocks, native & liquid staking, etc.) you can imagine ;) We’re in the final prep for our Season 0 campaign. There are a lot of moving parts, so expect more Solana DeFi & Backyard content on my page. If you’d like to explore, contribute, or learn more about Backyard, feel free to dm me either here on X or on Telegram: sol_mango. Always 1 ping away! Up Only Season ⚡️
