A little update on what we've been working on. Super excited to announce that we recently closed a strategic pre-seed round to double down on a problem that I genuinely think is one of the most exciting opportunities ahead.
We're building the rails for structured yield today, with the long-term vision going further to support an open finance stack for even AI agents and democratize opportunities for both institutional and retail users globally.

I don't think you understand how insufferable I will be on this downtrend
I'm fine with entire CT going full personal attacks on me, nothing new, but death wishes/threats, dox attempts and false allegations [again] cross the line
even some "friends" & followers joined in on the "dunking" so they can get that sweet engagement
it's going to be glorious.
A little career announcement today: I recently wrapped up my time at Aptos after 2 years. 🙏Forever grateful to the team for the opportunity and learned a lot across roles in devrel, dev growth, to hands-on supporting founders in the ecosystem.
As for what's next, I'm going to work on a problem I (and a few frens) am really excited about.
As the space matures and more assets come on-chain, we think there's a massive opportunity to innovate and make all spot assets (not just stables) more productive by bringing battle-tested TradFi strategies leveraging derivatives.
We're still mostly stuck at just the 'hold & moon' mindset for spot alts and other on-chain assets.
Why? Because the infra to put them to work is limited. Yes, there's liquid staking (tbh that's just more emissions, but oke). Or LP and get rekt by IL.
Somewhere along the way we just accepted that this is the best we can do.
But that's not true.
There are strategies in TradFi that are readily available for investors to make their assets more productive.
Real yield. Manageable risks.
In crypto, these are usually reserved only for the large players. Or available just for BTC & ETH.
That's because the infra isn't quite there (yet).
It will be.
And no, the approach will be different from stables Vaults and different from previous DOV (option vaults) approaches. Will write more about it pls follow @enhanced_defi !
Job's just started.
One week into Converge private beta testing while being highly selective with choosing testers for actionable feedback.
Top 10 on the leaderboard.
Slow and steady wins the race.
If you're interested in collaborating, taking part in private beta or just talking prediction markets, please feel free to DM me.

🚀 Today, @moshaikh@neilhar@alextang & I launch Maximum Frequency Ventures (MFV) - a $50M operator-led crypto company-creation engine and venture fund.
This is personal for me. I’ve spent my career moving between the discipline of institutions and the chaos of startups, and every stop along the way taught me lessons I wish more founders had access to.
