“So that morning in 1962 I told myself: Let everyone else call your idea crazy . . . just keep going. Don’t stop. Don’t even think about stopping until you get there, and don’t give much thought to where “there” is. Whatever comes, just don’t stop.”

Excited to partner with @brale_xyz to explore privacy preserving stablecoin settlement using their SBC stablecoin over the Canton Network.

Huge fan of what @bpmilne and team are building and how we can work together to grow the Canton payments ecosystem

22-year old Tim Duncan’s first playoff run:

- Beat the Knicks in 5 games in the Finals

22-year old Wemby’s first playoff run:

The parallels are INSANE. 🤯

My first week of solo-dad duty is coming up.

Time to get ready!

@DeanTTraining Absolute steal. Look at that equipment 😍

@DeanTTraining How often do you alternate between compound leg movements in your split? For instance, do you swap belt squat for leg press every few weeks, or do you play it by ear?

My new gym has a great linear leg press, smith press, hack squat, and belt squat. Hard to decide which to use!

Conan’s riff on becoming a parent — and specifically how unexpectedly freeing it can be — has stuck in my brain ever since I heard it on the @BenSasse and @ChrisStirewalt podcast a few months ago.

Funny, true, heartfelt — aka classic Conan.

Happy "Dazed & Confused" day!

Excited for Visa to continue to lean into enabling vibe coders to pay and be paid. So much more to come…

There was a 40 year period in history when samurai, pirates, and cowboys all technically existed at the same time.

[Canton Foundation @CantonFdn]

On @CantonNetwork, settlement is final the moment a transaction completes.

When the Global Synchronizer coordinates a multi-party transaction, every participant receives cryptographic proof that the transaction settled. The result is deterministic and irreversible.

For capital markets, this eliminates an entire category of operational risk. Settlement failures, reconciliation disputes, and confirmation delays are architectural problems that Canton resolves at the protocol level.

Final means final.

Chest Supported Smith Machine Rows

If you…

- Nail the setup
- Keep your chest GLUED to the pad
- Forcefully flare/drive your elbows back

…prepare to add SLABS of muscle to your Upper Back

These are one of the best alternatives if you don’t have a Chest Supported T Bar Row!

55 institutions, including Visa, DTCC, Nasdaq, Chainlink, and Circle, governing Canton's shared coordination layer without sharing underlying transaction data.

@BSCNews' @CryptoRich74 details how the Super Validator structure works, who's in it, and why it matters.

Me and my son have been sneaking out in the middle of the night in our Ewok and Chewbacca costumes just to mess with our neighbor's trail cams.

Institutions won't budge on privacy - it is a must have.

@Visa is paving the way on @CantonNetwork canton-network:native

[Cuy Sheffield @cuysheffield]

Great overview of the Canton ecosystem. We are seeing growing demand from institutional clients for privacy preserving stablecoin payments and are excited to start enabling many of these flows on Canton.
