I’ve been relatively quiet on X this year regarding what I was building, that was intentional.
While I wasn’t posting much, I was deeply involved in building and scaling a privacy wallet on @AleoHQ - @lets_puzzle, which grew to 300k users and highest onchain transaction volume.
We’ll know cross-border payments have truly evolved when we stop calling them “cross-border.”
Spent some time thinking about where this is actually headed. https://t.co/j3dy36F1m2
Experimented with @fal's new H3 Director model: one stablecoin payment traveling from San Francisco to Lima, directed live, beat by beat.
The story: families in LATAM still queue at transfer offices and wait days to receive money. Stablecoin rails make it arrive in seconds.
Been quieter here for a few weeks, heads down, but the shift in the market has been hard to ignore.
For a while the loudest take was that Web3 was fading. What I keep seeing is the opposite: adoption is quietly moving from retail speculation to institutions actually building on this infrastructure.
Stablecoins settling real cross-border flows.
Banks and fintechs running pilots instead of dismissing the space.
That's an adoption story, and it's the more durable one.
More soon on where I'm focused next.
