Making an impact through entrepreneurship.

[Akshay Agrawal 🇦🇪 @Akshay8212]

I have been here in Network School @ns for last couple of months - Let me share my honest experience.

We talk a lot about community in Web3, I think core of it is 2 things:
- Human Capital
- Curation of a supportive environment (Win Help friends win)

Core elements are now the strongest pillars and will keep growing. The rest is already taken care of by one of the wonderful teams handpicked by @balajis himself.

Congratulations Arif bro ✨

[Arif @arifkazi_]

big personal news

i am joining @reflectmoney as head of growth.

why reflect. why solana. why now?

$300B+ stablecoin market. most of it parked at zero yield. reflect is fixing that. and doing it on the only chain that can actually run internet capital markets at scale

the thesis: any project. any collateral. any risk profile. its own stablecoin. risk-first. collateral-agnostic. the layer every stable on sol eventually routes through.

every consumer app, every agent, every protocol becoming its own neobank. only possible on solana.

backed by @a16zcrypto & @colosseum. the reflect team is a lineup of absolute chads. easily the sharpest minds in defi.

more on the announcements soon. what's next redefines stablecoin infra on @solana.

huge shoutout to @0xnico and @stablecoinjesus for the trust.

if you're building around stablecoins, neobanks, or sol defi - hmu.

see you at accelerate miami 🫡

@Curatmoney changing how you choose crypto cards

[Madhur Satija @madhursatija]

Introducing @curatmoney: The aggregation layer for crypto cards and neobanks.

I have spent the last few months deeply immersed in the gap between payments infra and the everyday consumer. What I realized is this: as an industry, we are building incredible financial rails, but we are completely failing the end user at the distribution layer.

The data is staggering. The crypto card market just quietly crossed $18 billion in annualized spend. Stablecoin transaction volume hit $33 trillion in 2025. The heavyweights know exactly what is coming. @stripe just bought @Stablecoin for $1.1B, and @Mastercard acquired @BVNKFinance for up to $1.8B.
@0xPolygon is all in as well for everything payments.
This creates a massive tailwind for everyone building in this space.

Everyone is obsessively building the supply side. Very few are building the demand side.

With over 100+ neobanks and over 300+ card programs live globally, the sheer volume of options is overwhelming. Currently, ~1K new cards are registered daily across the ecosystem.

How are normal users supposed to navigate the best one for themselves!

The key question is whether users and companies can truly create and sustain meaningful value for each other.

Right now, neither can. Users are forced to rely on sponsored listicles that go stale in weeks, or fragmented advice across X and TG, while neobanks and card companies are stuck with users who don't provide enough volume to break even on customer acquisition costs.

Without a single source of truth, consumers fall into aggressive marketing traps, facing opaque fee structures and hidden staking requirements. We are leaving users unprotected.

Curat solves every problem in the middle.

We have been building this product for the last three months, and we are already at 60,000 lines of code. We are building for scale. This segment is battle tested in the web2 ecosystem already.

A user enters our ecosystem through our card aggregation layer. (We are live right now with over 155 cards listed from over 60 providers).

We offer unified discovery with granular filtering so you can actually compare cards side by side. But more importantly, we are building a massive Trust and Community Defense layer. Every card on our platform is reviewed through a manual verification process, and we give users a community portal to report grievances and hold issuers accountable.

From a business perspective, we are not really a comparison tool [that's just the entry point] ;)

We have built a compounding six-flywheel ecosystem driven by an xCURAT loyalty retention loop, affiliate/volume commissions, a services marketplace, premium listings + a card launchpad, affiliate AEO for LLMs, and an incident data product including a credit score for each user.

Every other mature financial product category, like insurance, mortgages, and traditional credit cards, eventually develops a dominant aggregation layer. Crypto cards are next.

We are building the first interaction layer for the entire market. I will dive much deeper into this vision in the coming days as our core product launches.

If you like what we are building, visit @curatmoney to keep track of everything happening in this ecosystem and discover specially curated card offers.

Indian startups are built different: 75 lakh orders in 24 hours 🔥

[Deepinder Goyal @deepigoyal]

Zomato and Blinkit delivered at a record pace yesterday, unaffected by calls for strikes that many of us heard over the past few days.

Support from local law enforcement helped keep the small number of miscreants in check, enabling 4.5 lakh+ delivery partners across both platforms to deliver more than 75 lakh orders (all-time high) to over 63 lakh customers during the day. This happened without any additional incentives for delivery partners - NYE does see higher incentives than usual days and yesterday was no different than the past NYE days.

I am grateful to local authorities across the country and to our teams on the ground for clear enforcement and swift coordination.

Most importantly, thank you to our delivery partners who showed up despite intimidation, stood their ground, and chose honest work and progress.

One thought for everyone: if a system were fundamentally unfair, it would not consistently attract and retain so many people who choose to work within it. Please don’t get swept up by narratives pushed by vested interests.

The gig economy is one of India’s largest organised job creation engines, and its real impact will compound over time, when delivery partners’ children, supported by stable incomes and education, enter the workforce and help transform our country at scale.
