@larsencc @bot Improvements to privacy and security. There’s a market for a privacy-centric solution that early startups nor Meta could occupy, while still providing adequate convenience of fully cloud-hosted, mass connectors, and brainless to setup.

@mvanhorn Still giving out codes? Would appreciate 🙏

[Robin D. Ji @robindavidji]

@KSimback superpowers has more of the actual execution and when I did an evaluation seems like it out executed and was more likely to oneshot. CE is unique in the whole compound thing which I took away as the best part of it

Liquifi 🤝 @coinbase

[echo @echodotxyz]

We started building Echo around 2 years ago in an attempt to try and change the market dynamics around crypto fundraising.

Today, we're joining Coinbase, but the mission stays the same.

We're gonna use the firepower of this behemoth to provide better opportunities to investors and better fundraising options to founders.

Just getting started. Cheers.

[Shan Aggarwal @ShanAggarwal]

Proud to welcome @robindavidji @olivertang_ and @liquifi_finance to the Coinbase family!

A big step forward in helping builders launch, grow, and scale faster with fewer blockers – all under the Coinbase roof

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

Excited to bring @liquifi_finance into Coinbase to make it easy for any startup to issue a token, manage their cap table, and eventually raise money.

[Haseeb Qureshi ＞|＜ @hosseeb]

Very strategic acquisition by @coinbase of @liquifi_finance—token & vesting management has been a huge pain for everyone in the industry. As more assets get tokenized, this is going to end up looking like a really smart way to entrench their institutional business.

Congrats to the @liquifi_finance team on a great outcome! 🫡

[Robin D. Ji @robindavidji]

Thrilled to share this news. Four years ago @olivertang_ and I had an idea after facing these pain points ourselves. I'm excited for the next chapter.

To our team: we did it. From spreadsheets to @Coinbase.

[Coinbase Token Manager @cbtokenmanager]

🚀 Big news: Liquifi has been acquired by @Coinbase!

Four years ago, we set out to solve a simple problem: token management was broken. Today's announcement represents validation that infrastructure-first thinking can transform an entire industry.

To our customers at @Uniswap, @Optimism, @ethena, @Zora, and dozens of other protocols: this is just the beginning. With Coinbase's resources behind us, we're building the institutional-grade token infrastructure the industry deserves.

To our incredible team: we did it. From spreadsheets to Coinbase. What a journey.

And, the next chapter is about to be written.

[aklil @_aklil0]

Liquifi helps us go deeper in supporting builders and businesses that want to launch and scale onchain. This is a key part of bringing 1B people onchain and I couldn't be more excited to welcome @robindavidji @olivertang_ and @liquifi_finance to Coinbase.

[Tom Schmidt ＞|＜ @tomhschmidt]

Huge congrats to @robindavidji and @olivertang_ on this! Genuinely two of the hardest grinding founders I’ve had the pleasure of backing. Excited to see what you all do at Coinbase and beyond 👏
