Yes, in fact I see hardly any cryptocurrency stuff with rust.

I'm building an OS in rust, and write most firmware with rust too.

Really?

Solana [0] a top 10 market cap cryptocurrency is written in Rust and so is its smart contracts.

NEAR Protocol is another [1] one as well as Sui [2] and Polkadot [3] written and using Rust.

I didn't say it didn't exist. I said I don't personally ever see any cryptocurrency stuff in my Rust experience aside from coming across a few crates here or there related to it.

As an outsider with some good feelings towards Rust and some negative one towards crypto, almost all Rust jobs I’ve seen have been in crypto

That's a fair point, my experience as well. I think I was mostly talking about the code I see on e.g. GitHub.
