We're finally getting the king of stablecoins on the king of blockchains 👑

@utexocom is bringing USDT @tether natively onto Bitcoin via Lightning + RGB

Settlement will be instant and private, meaning no more staring at the mempool waiting for BTC blocks to confirm

[Paper Ventures @Papervc]

Pumped adding @ETHGasOfficial into the Paper basket.

Currently, waiting 12 seconds for an Ethereum block feels like waiting for a text back from your ex.

In that time, you could:

Watch your meme bags go viral and die

Witness a 20% candle (either way)

Question every life choice that led you to the mempool

ETHGAS targets 50ms block times. That’s faster than your "Insufficient Funds" notification can even pop up. Think smarter anon

Delighted to be backing @xsy_fi — a platform focused on optimizing capital efficiency, and featuring Unity $UTY, a synthetic dollar on the @avax blockchain.

Congratulations to @ProtagonistXYZ and @borderless_cap for leading the round!

"Building a loyal crypto community isn’t about tech – it’s about showing up and connecting with real people.” – #OliverBlakey, Co-Founder of @Papervc

In his latest hot take, Oliver shares his thoughts on what truly makes a successful crypto community. He highlights how personal connections — like meeting the average Joe on the streets — can create real loyalty, something that many crypto founders overlook. From Solana’s street-level approach to Bearer’s bold moves, Oliver gives his unfiltered view on what works (and what doesn’t) in the world of crypto community-building.

🔑 Key Takeaways:
•Why founders need to meet people where they are
•The power of personal connections in crypto
•Can Bearer maintain its loyal community?

Today is a very emotional day for me. Its not about poker or money. Its about my 15 year journey of fighting inner demons and overcoming them to achieve my personal growth. I grew up with a lot of cognitive blocks- insecurities, impostor syndroms, noone to teach me how to structure my life and tap into to my talents. Every year ive inched closer to getting to a place where Im happy with where I am, and every summer Ive been coming to the WSOP to put myself to the test and see if I can keep it together and achieve one of my childhood dreams. Today was the day it all came together. I was fearless all event, even sitting next to Phil Ivey most of the day. Zoned in, no breakdowns or tilt when I got outdrawn on a hand. Just bringing out my best performance, and on this day it was enough.

Hugs to you all for far and wide for all your messages of support and love. 💜

The vision is that users of applications will not know what blockchain they are interacting with, if they even know there is a blockchain at all. The vote of confidence from @Arrington_Cap and @Papervc drives the conviction that we are on the right path.

Some personal news:

I will be leaving @zksync at the end of April.

I've been working on starting my own project.

Allow me to introduce @sophon

Sophon is a general purpose hyperchain, focused on ██████ and ██████, using ██████ as DA, leading us all towards a brighter future.

I'm incredibly excited to build this new venture on the ZK Stack. I will be progressively sharing more information on X and Medium, but a few FAQ for now:

Why I am leaving zkSync

- TLDR: I'm bullish on hyperchains and realised I needed to build my own.

- I'm leaving Matter Labs, but I'm not really leaving zkSync. zkSync is so much more than Era, the first L2 zkEVM. The ambition is to build a constellation of hyperchains, leveraging the zkSync codebase, with shared users and liquidity on zkSync.

- I will continue to work closely with the amazing Matter Labs teams, lead by @gluk64 @Ozhar & @anthonykrose and will always endeavour to be their biggest ambassador.

Why build a hyperchain?

When I decided to build Sophon, choosing the ZK Stack was no brainer - I know the product inside out in comparison to other stacks on the market. Building for tomorrow rather than yesterday. I'm convinced that in a few years, looking back at the design and infrastructure choices ML made will seem obvious.

What is Sophon?

Sophon is the brainchild of @Pentosh1, ██████ and myself. We envisioned a place where communities could symbiotically co-exist, leveraging the best user experiences and partnerships.

Catering for today's most crypto native users, whilst building for tomorrow's newcomers. And always, nothing matters more than community.

Sophon will be pioneers in the modular ZK space, benefiting from the best tech and most strategic partnerships.

When will you start?

We already have.

The first partnerships struck are with @BuildOnBeam and @AethirCloud

We also announced our $10m seed round for Sophon, led by @Papervc, @Maven11Capital and participation from @TheSpartanGroup, @SevenXVentures, @OKX_Ventures, @the_matter_labs, @class_lambda & more.

With angels @StaniKulechov, @LucaNetz
