Some personal news:

I'm stepping up as Co-Founder of @o2dotapp alongside @IAmNickDodson and @rishabhkeshan.

After over 4 years at @fuel_network, and the past year focused almost entirely on o2, this is a milestone I'm incredibly proud of.

When we started o2, we wanted to show what Fuel's technology was actually capable of.

We built a fully onchain orderbook exchange where every orderbook is a smart contract, with execution times as low as 20ms. Fuel's performance made it possible to build something that would otherwise be extremely difficult without relying on an offchain matching engine.

But great technology alone doesn't make a successful business. You still need to find users, understand what they want, and figure out how to make the economics work.

Over the past year, I've been deeply involved in shaping o2, from product design and positioning to defining our market structure, trading pairs, liquidity strategy, pricing, and growth.

I also designed and led our trading competition program, from the mechanics and incentives to the overall strategy and execution. Across competitions, we generated over $1.4 billion in trading volume and brought hundreds of traders to the exchange. Beyond the numbers, it gave us a much better understanding of trader behavior and what it takes to attract and engage users.

But generating trading volume is one thing. Turning that activity into a viable business is another.

That experience helped shape our thinking around Turbo, our funded trading product, which has since become o2's first meaningful revenue stream.

Turbo is showing early signs of PMF, but there's a significant gap between where we are today and where we need to be.

Our next objective is to close that gap. We're aiming to 10x revenue by improving Turbo across every front, from the trading experience and funded account offering to acquisition, conversion, and retention.

At the same time, we'll continue improving the underlying exchange, with deeper liquidity, margin trading, and broader markets, including RWAs.

On a personal level, this has been one of the most demanding experiences of my career. I've been pushed outside my comfort zone more times than I can count, often having to dive into problems I knew very little about and figure things out along the way. It has taught me to question my assumptions, understand problems more deeply, and accept that sometimes the only way forward is to rethink everything.

I've also learned an incredible amount working alongside Nick, Rishabh, and @Voxelot. Their experience and perspectives helped shape a lot of how I think today, and I'm genuinely grateful for their trust.

Becoming Co-Founder means a lot to me, especially after everything we've put into o2 over the past year. I'm proud of what we've accomplished, but there's still a long way to go before we've built the business we envision. Looking forward to taking on that challenge alongside the team.

Back to work.

@theopulsor Looks sick!

[Rubyto @Rubyto]

@sohmehta We can already see that with Grok Bot. And it’s indeed a much better experience

[Rubyto @Rubyto]

@NadTrades_ I'll take a look

[Rubyto @Rubyto]

@EFDevcon Please change dates!

[Rubyto @Rubyto]

@marilyn100x @VitalikButerin @EFDevcon Lfg! Congratulations

[Rubyto @Rubyto]

@texturesdev Clean

[Rubyto @Rubyto]

@cashedfun 98 rulebook sections? How many of these do you have?? 🤯

[Rubyto @Rubyto]

Funny enough, since we launched Turbo Challenges, we’ve actually seen more Turbo Instant sales.

Feels like introducing Challenges made the value of getting funded instantly even more obvious.

Please reconsider. This coincides with Yom Kippur and is not inclusive to many devs who won’t be able to attend.

@aaddii_eth The 10-80-10 is more the cruise mode.
When you start it should be more 80-20 with your thinking being the 80

[Rubyto @Rubyto]

I’m starting to think the best way to work with AI is 10-80-10

10% figuring out what you want and how to approach it

80% letting AI research, build and iterate

10% going through the result and fixing what doesn’t feel right

@BTCfr_ @NicolasSansu Il est evidemment responsable.
Ce type de declaration n’a pas lieu d’etre quand les données du contribuable ne sont pas en securité dans les bases de données de l’état. On fait choisir entre un eventuel kidnapping ou un controle fiscal.

@AltcoinsFrance Ce pays va droit dans le mur

@arno39 The 3.50€ capuccino does

Design is such a love-hate relationship.

I can spend hours on something, absolutely love it, then look at it the next day and hate everything about it.

Very frustrating yet satisfying process at the same time.

[Rubyto @Rubyto]

Interesting. Haven’t used office apps for years as I got used to the Google Suite, but will take a look.

Agreed on the rest. I also integrated @bot to my workflow recently.

But also looking into open source models to eventually replace my use of frontier ones (GPT, Claude, etc.) that in comparison are getting quite expensive.

[Rubyto @Rubyto]

@WatcherGuru Time to sell everything

[Rubyto @Rubyto]

@Avrelians Yeah this is the way.
Then the next step is to optimize the token consumption and which model you’re using for each task.

[Rubyto @Rubyto]

@GhanodeSanket Likely, but you need to find your balance.

When you start, it should be closer to 50-20-30.

But eventually, I think you should aim to get as close to 10-80-10 if you want to accelerate your productivity sustainably.

[Rubyto @Rubyto]

@lagrangedev True, that’s why there’s still a lot of slop out there
