Jupiter Founder Post Introducing the HumidiFi Project and Team Background

On December 4th, Jupiter founder Meow took to social media to note that while HumidiFi has driven massive transaction activity on Solana and seemingly risen to prominence overnight, it’s long been recognized as one of the strongest technical teams in DeFi within the ecosystem. The team has built multiple low-level core infrastructure projects, including Nozomi (a transaction landing engine), Temporal, and most recently, Harmonic (an open block builder). Also part of their background? Past high-frequency trading (HFT) stints at firms like Citadel. That explains how they’ve brought institutional-grade market makers to Solana—combining that expertise with their deep work on Solana’s underlying infrastructure. Kevin Pang, who previously worked at Jump, Paradigm, and SCP, brings rich multi-dimensional experience and resources. Jupiter has collaborated with him on several technical projects, proving his ability to tackle extremely challenging tasks and his commitment to boosting liquidity on Solana and across the entire decentralized trading space.
