Crypto in 2016 was raw, philosophical, and wildly ambitious. Somewhere along the way, the dream shrank.
Last month, @privy_io, @AmbushCapital and BlueYard gathered 100 of crypto's most serious founders, builders, and OGs in one room in New York for a day of open debates and a bias toward action to rekindle the chaotic, cypherpunk, world-eating ambition that got us here in the first place.
We're hiring an investor to join the BlueYard team.
AI-powered chemical synthesis, silicon compilers, brain-computer interfaces, AI models for the steel industry, solid rocket motors - that’s our daily context.
We're looking for someone who goes unreasonably deep on things that fascinate them, forms their own views, and can defend them when the room disagrees.

Are you a Stockholm-based founder/builder working on a technology that can bend the arc of civilizational progress? Are you building not in a vacuum, but in the context of a big picture at the intersection of technology, soeciety, gepolitics and human progress? Then you might want to join the inaugural gathering of The Stockholm Risk Club.
Together with @byFounders, we are convening an intimate gathering to debate the key risks and opportunities of our time, in a Jeffersonian format, over dinner and drinks. One table, one conversation.
The question on the agenda: how to go risk-on in ultra-volatile times. Volatility and risk as opportunities, not threats.

Today @iroh_n0 shipped iroh 1.0, a milestone for peer-to-peer networking. Dial any device by its public key, not an IP, for a direct encrypted connection. 200M+ endpoints on their relays last month. Proud to have backed @n0computer at seed. Congrats to Brendan O'Brien and team!
Dial Keys, not IPs. After 4 years and more than 65 versions, iroh 1.0 is here to give you the direct connections you deserve.
We can’t wait to see what you will build!

America has the best military in the world. But we can't build weapons fast enough or cheap enough to deter the threats we're facing. That gap is dangerous.
Grateful to @mariogabriele and @thegeneralistco for this chat on what @Castelion is doing to solve this.
The Paris Risk Club, co-hosted by BlueYard and OVNI Capital (@AugustinSayer & @threnaudin) will convene on Wednesday, June 17, the first evening of Vivatech.
An intimate gathering to debate the key risks and opportunities of our time, in Jeffersonian format, over dinner and drinks. One table, one conversation.
The question on the agenda: how to go risk-on in ultra-volatile times. Volatility and risk as opportunities, not threats.
Strategies developed at the table will be documented and shared.

Centrifuge brings deep institutional tokenization expertise.
@coinbase brings consumer access, institutional relationships, and developer reach.
Together, we’re bringing differentiated assets to @base.
We are teaming up with Atlantic and @Interface for an evening of cold drinks, good food and bold debate: Moonshots vs. Marathons. Berlin, May 20th, 6pm, following Deep Tech Momentum.
Builders & backers are coming together to discuss one core question: when building transformative technology, do we sprint for breakthroughs or grind toward them step by step? Is that a false choice?
Expect lively discussions and a curated book selection to fuel your thinking long after the night. Apply here to join https://t.co/9E0x3FLGU7

Out now: @NatureElectron published a peer-reviewed study by @SeeqcUs marking a significant breakthrough for quantum computing, solving one of the foundational problems blocking large-scale quantum systems.
Last month in Los Angeles, we brought together founders, builders, experts and investors to grapple with one question from every angle: how do we move humanity toward utopia while holding the line against oblivion? We had AI models debate potential future paths for humanity, and last year’s Nobel Peace Prize winner shared a playbook for rebuilding a nation with technology.
Two days of workshops, debates and open conversations. Get a glimpse of the energy and vibe of the BlueYard community through this recap video. Whatch our AIs debate in full here: https://t.co/63qqTEAPTF
The @USNavy has awarded @Castelion a $105M contract to integrate Blackbeard, the Navy's first air-launched hypersonic strike weapon, onto the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet.
We're grateful for the trust the @DeptofWar has placed in our team and are committed to delivering Blackbeard to the Warfighter on the timeline American deterrence demands.

Big thanks to @Delphi_Digital for the deep-dive on ETHGas.
The core idea is simple: Ethereum doesn’t just need more blockspace, it needs a better way to price and allocate it. This report lays out how preconfirmations and realtime sequencing can move Ethereum from adversarial auctions toward a more efficient, lower-latency market structure.
Realtime Ethereum isn’t just about speed, it’s about better execution, less extractive MEV, and a stronger foundation for traders, apps, LPs, and validators alike.
Since 2016, BlueYard has rallied behind the most consequential technologies—those driving us toward utopia or holding the line against oblivion. In a sense, we’ve been backing ‘Hail Marys’ all along.
Now, we invite founders working on bold, civilization-shaping ideas to join us for an evening of big-screen inspiration. We’re hosting private screenings of ‘Project Hail Mary’—followed by discussions on advancing the arc of our future.
Our first screenings will be in Munich (29 April) and Berlin (4 May). Apply below to join us:

We're launching Vectary Canvas.
An AI-powered environment that brings research, ideation, concept development, and 3D design into one seamless flow across 2D, 3D, and AR.

When we started investing in crypto back in 2016, the industry was raw, deeply philosophical, and full of wonderful experiments and rebellious folks unified through a deep sense of purpose and ambition.
There has been a lot of success. ETFs are approved. Institutions are here. Finance is fully moving on-chain. The technology has matured. But somewhere along the way, the dream shrank. Crypto is more than currencies and financialization. There is no reason at all that crypto shouldn’t be the fabric to protect individual sovereignty, to fix the internet, to coordinate infrastructure at unmatched scale, and to provide a secure, trustless foundation for the next agent-dominated age of the Web.
So @privy_io, @AmbushCapital and BlueYard are calling a timeout.
On June 10th we are gathering 100 of the most serious founders, builders, and OGs in New York. No stages, no panels. Just honest debates and a bias toward action to rekindle the chaotic, cyberpunk, world-eating ambition that got us here in the first place. More details to follow.
