@kobyjconrad @paulodoestech Maybe? If you use the —dangerously-bypass-permissions-and-approvals flag, it should not be asking you to approve anything. I personally always just do this manually

Two contradictory things can be true at the same time. Crypto is obviously filled with fraud and scams. At the same time, it’s also obviously a useful and important technology.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

@romlib_ Crypto is a legit and indeed inevitable technology. Usually such things are net positive.

[Jerry Chu 🍊 @PMDBT]

Wake up, see a bunch of suspicious transactions. Spend half the day investigating and blocking scammers. How's your Friday going...?

[Jerry Chu 🍊 @PMDBT]

@immad Congrats @immad! You guys are one of the only companies in this space that kind of has everything, cards, debt products, treasury, and bank accounts. Makes it a no brainer for us.

[Jerry Chu 🍊 @PMDBT]

Finally!!

[Robinhood @RobinhoodApp]

$ALGO is now available to trade on Robinhood Crypto, including NY.

If you haven't used the new experimental feature in codex /goal, I highly recommend checking it out.

We've always thought about migrating architecture and even frameworks over at @lofty_ai. Some of the decisions we've made at the start are less than optimal in hindsight.

But the math never made sense. It would have taken the entire team working on nothing but a migration and take a month to do and maybe that's even optimistic.

Just asked gpt 5.5 xhigh in codex last night using the /goal command to do the entire migration.

It ran for over 5 hours and 20 mins and close to 1 shot the entire migration. Other than a few small details that needed fixing, the new app appears to be working and stable.

This is making us re-evaluate a lot of priorities internally as the ROI math needs to be recalculated for so many things we've previously made a decision to not pursue for now.

Because it’s probably personality. The same people that tend to become millionaires and billionaires are the same people that are highly competitive, high ego, and low tolerance for bullshit. They can’t help it and are just being themselves.

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

If you have $10 million in a high-yield savings account, you’re pulling $500,000 a year in interest for doing literally nothing. Why are you on here? Why aren’t you just always off hanging out, doing cool shit, never looking at this garbage? I truly don’t get it.

Now do hundred millionaires and billionaires. Like, literally they and whole generations of their kin will never have to financially worry about anything. Why are so many of them so unhappy and angsty and locked into so many stressful things in the attention economy? I can’t get my head around it

[Jerry Chu 🍊 @PMDBT]

At @lofty_ai, we usually start testing new ideas using a manual process. It helps us move quickly and figure out if an idea actually resonates with users or not.

Sometimes they do, but because of other priorities, we end up operating that manual process for far longer than we'd like.

Introducing our new off-ramp and withdrawal flow. Users can now click 2 buttons and complete withdrawals for their rent balance or account balance to their connected bank accounts. There is also built in tracking to tell you the status of your withdrawals.

Standard off-ramps are also free now (3-5 business days) through ACH while the express option (1 business day) costs 2%, down to 1% if withdrawing above $10,000.

This has been a big bottle neck for the platform as users had to fill out a form manually and learn how to operate a crypto wallet to send funds to us manually.

According to our support metrics, 75% of all customer support requests were regarding how to perform this step properly or getting an update on the status of their withdrawal.

No more! Enjoy the new flow and happy trading!

@hampelman_data @keebsforall Yep!

[Jerry Chu 🍊 @PMDBT]

i run a small store that designs and sells custom mechanical keyboards over at @keebsforall . It started as a hobby and now I own over 10 unique boards.

There is so much typing in my work, emails, slack, research, coding, and lately a lot of AI prompting. I originally used one of those low profile apple keyboards, but my wrists started killing me. carpal tunnel in both hands, which is why I started looking into better keyboard options.

I haven't launched a new product on the store since last year, so this one is special. We just dropped a pre-order for the Liberty Walk x Original Konbini keyboard. If you know the LBWK name from cars, this is their first ever mechanical keyboard collab.

It's fully aluminium with kailh tactile switches, per-key RGB, and each unit is laser-numbered with an authentication card. the whole design is a love letter to JDM culture.

If you're into cars and keyboards, this is the crossover you didn't know you needed.

only 25 units. pre-order price is $150 (goes to $165 once they're in stock). Ships in about a month.

@hampelman_data @keebsforall Good idea!! I’ll look into an Algorand themed one. Should be very doable :)

[Jerry Chu 🍊 @PMDBT]

@mochanerd @keebsforall haha time to upgrade the desk setup :)

[Jerry Chu 🍊 @PMDBT]

I'm a big elder scrolls fan and I just found this channel on Youtube that uses AI to make live action elder scrolls videos on various lore topics. They're usually around 10 minutes long and voiced as well.

It's not perfect, but honestly the quality was pretty shockingly good.

At this point, people should see the writings on the wall right? Like within 5 years, the models should be good enough to deliver full blown movies that are block buster quality.

Whether the movies will be good or not will purely depend on how good a creator is at story telling/directing/prompting the models.

I would imagine Hollywood would be pretty panicked about this, but I'm not really seeing much discourse around it yet.

Take a look for yourself. Btw, this is probably what happens to Skyrim if you side with the Stormcloaks.

Adding @lofty_ai to the RWA section alone should move the needle in that category a bit :)

This is meant to be a living map, so if we missed a corridor, category, or company you think should be included, please comment!

We'll periodically post insights drawing from this data.

Our team has been very excited about this update and we hope you like it too!

All EVM users can now come to @alphaarcade and just start using the product. Everything else is handled for you underneath the hood. An app should just be an app that's available to everyone to use.

Try it out today and let us know how your experience was.

EVM distribution with AVM performance.

Big news for prediction market fans!

Alpha Arcade now supports EVM wallets natively.

MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet; connect, and you're in.

We're the prediction market for all of crypto, not just one ecosystem.

[Jerry Chu 🍊 @PMDBT]

This is the way. Way to dogfood your own products @marcvl!

[marcvl.algo🇺🇦 @marcvl]

Made my first prediction on @alphaarcade using my @ethereum account on @MetaMask. Transferred 10 @USDC to @Algorand using @Allbridge_io. Picked a market, signed the transaction with my EVM keys. Done. No need to buy $ALGO. No need to download an Algorand wallet. Just me, Alpha Arcade, and MetaMask. Sweet!

[“paula” @paularambles]

this is good, actually. being a founder should’ve never become as high status as it is. it’s supposed to be a weird, slightly bad decision you keep making anyway.

[Jerry Chu 🍊 @PMDBT]

@al_goanna We don’t mind! The more the merrier. It’s good for the chain and ecosystem
