The thing that didn't leave my head wasn't the interface, it was the GP math.
Season 1 ran a simple loop: trade volume → earn #genius Points → get $GENIUS at TGE. On paper, democratic.
In practice, the eight multiplier tiers meant heavy wallets were compounding GP at rates retail couldn't touch. By the time the terminal hit $650M in a single day back in January, the volume wasn't organic curiosity it was positioning.
The chain knew. You could see it.
What actually stood out during the task was the routing toggle. @GeniusOfficial lets you choose between execution speed and price optimization on aggregator routing… which is genuinely rare, maybe unique.
Most terminals just hide that. But here's the thing that control lives behind the advanced settings, which most users never open. The default path optimizes for speed. So the explicit control the docs brag about? It's there. Just not really there for most people.
Circulating supply sits at roughly 335M of 1B tokens as of now, with the burn or earn vesting mechanic still playing out.
The 48 hour fee refund window closed, and prices haven't fully stabilized yet.
I keep wondering… who the terminal was actually built for first and whether the default UX ever catches up to what the advanced layer already is.
