Traders are the most valuable asset in crypto.

Yet the incentives they deserve are diluted by farmers, bots, sybils and larps. Until now.

[PIVY @pivyme]

One year ago, PIVY went from a hackathon idea to mainnet.

→ 🏆 1st Place, Sui Overflow 2025
→ 🇸🇬 Launched Mainnet & debuted at SuiFest 2025, MBS, Token2049 week
→ 💰 Backed by Sui Foundation & Press Start Capital
→ 👥 1,200+ users
→ 💸 $592.2K+ total transaction volume
→ 🔐 $50K+ value currently stays in PIVY

What started as two people building a user-friendly private payment platform for a hackathon has now processed nearly $600K in transactions.

Year one was about proving PIVY could exist. Year two is about making privacy payments the mainstream.

Thank you to all the Sui peeps & frens who have supported us even before launch, you know who you are.

Let’s PIVY it up!

[Mochi @watchmochi]

ReelShort made $1B last year on microdramas.

We’re doing it for anime.

Today we launch Mochi, the first platform for anime microdramas. Backed by @ycombinator (S26).

One minute episodes, new series daily. Produced with AI.

In just a few months, we've hit 300M+ views and partnered with top writers from Toei Animation, Marvel, and Cartoon Network.

Viewers can also become creators too: anyone can make their own anime in the app.

The next hit anime won’t take a studio and 3 years anymore. It’ll take a phone.
