Cofounder @0xMiden l Contributor @ForbesCrypto

[azeem @azeemk]

The news is out! Couldn't be more excited to announce that I'm back in the ring as a builder. Coming on as a co-founder to @0xMiden with our $25M seed fundraise being co-led by @a16zcrypto , @1kxnetwork , and @hack_vc .

I spoke to what must have been over a 100 projects in the past few months, but nothing came close to being nearly as exciting as what this team is building.

My co-founder @bobbinth is genuinely the most impressive person I've met in Web3 in the 13 years I've spent in this space. And this is no exaggeration. Brilliant, humble, and hustles like no other.

Vitalik brought him into Web3 and got him working at the EF years ago on zk, then he went to Meta where he led the zk team, and is a Polygon cofounder as well. When I say the most impressive, I mean it.

Privacy, scalability, and decentralization, with the ability to offer compliance. That's what separates Miden from just another blockchain. And we're going to be bringing institutions on chain with this.

If you're a builder in this space, I'd love to hear from you. My DMs are open.

@TomMurphyTweets @andrewrsorkin People really sleep on MBDTF being one of the best musical albums ever created.

I know my PFP makes me biased but it’s still true lol.

Couldn’t agree more. It’s felt apparent since after covid, but in this AI world it’s 100% going to be the case.

What will be funny is the way everyone will try to brand it as something innovative as opposed to people just being tired of everything being digital interactions.

I know you said you’re not a good writer, but this was quite well done!

@crypto_council @_jikim @fox32news 100%. Couldn't agree more. It makes no sense and punitive is the right word for it.

JV is one of the best people in the business to work with.

If this applies to you make sure to reach out to him.

Few people execute like him.

I'm looking to hire a non-technical part-time copywriter for a newsletter going out 4x a week for a project I'm working on..

Pays extremely well and will open doors to many tier 1 brands in the space - full autonomy in the role to operate how you'd like, just be smart and cook good content with high agency

Tag the best copywriter you know + DMs are open

@techdollarhq I wish more people were giving the chances at a GT3 haha. Looks super interesting. Need to look into it just because of the car.

[azeem @azeemk]

@aesopsolo I was just thinking about sending this to you. So fire.

[azeem @azeemk]

@rhackett @a16zcrypto @eddylazzarin @smc90 Absolutely. And I've actually listened to every single episode except for "the end of ads" one for 2026 too.

Also, you and Sonal together make for an excellent duo on these episodes.

[azeem @azeemk]

I do agree with that. Just generally speaking, I think the idea of who he is and the persona he's built, especially when it comes to innovation in creativity probably just left people feeling like they'd get something in that same lane when it comes to stuff he's doing at LV.

And it doesn't help him that he's fighting the ghost of Virgil either.
