Tomorrow we launch the Cade Cup on @pumpcade, to tens of thousands of users already pre-registered. I started Pumpcade, on September 21, 2025. I NEVER expected to be where we are today. Everything really felt like it was stacked up against me. - Since I deployed the token, Solana has been DOWN only ($236 -> $81). - I quit my job and didn't pay myself a dime from creator fees for the entire 6 months of solo building. - 10/10 wiped out tons of capital from retail. - Many VCs just completely stopped writing checks. - I was raising capital in one of the worst climates in the last 4 years... WITH A LIVE PUMP FUN TOKEN. Pumpcade really has been built 100% in the bear market, and I never let that affect the trajectory of the company. During this time, I: - Won the Pump Fun hackathon - Raised 2 venture rounds in 10 days with a live Pump Fun token (a first of it's kind fundraise that will pave the way for future projects that start on Pump Fun) - Scaled the Pumpcade team to 7 people - Released a closed and open beta And now finally this all comes together with the Cade Cup. Myself and the team are thrilled to be able to partner with the @SolanaFndn to provide roughly $75,000 worth of prizes for a free-to-play no risk tournament. Excited for you all to start participating in the Cade Cup tomorrow. PS: There's still 1 more day to pre-register, at
