After months of building in stealth, it’s time to unveil everything.
New website. Clearer vision. One audacious goal:
Turn 50+ isolated blockchains into one seamless execution layer.
A thread on what we’ve built🧵👇
We’ve been testing 3 main channels for Axy: inbound, outbound, and referrals.
Still early days, but figuring out acquisition levers feels like half the game in SaaS. Curious what’s worked best for other founders?

Our partners at https://t.co/q4c9zNh9GG just dropped their acquisition playbook, and the numbers are staggering.
• 50% response rates on LinkedIn cold outreach
• 65% open rates on email

Interested in how it's done?

@lookonchain@AguilaTrades@qwatio@JamesWynnReal Dear whales,
Stop doing this. Just talk with @CFGI_Overseer about a subscription rate for @CFGI_MAEVE to manage your millions of dollars responsibly.
She's earning 3-4% monthly currently (V2 is 7.93%/month), & a 91% success rate with 700+ trades. $CFGI
Fantastic podcast to learn more about BTC in DeFi.
"People don't know you can make a decentralised BTC swaps in 5 seconds, but a few years from now, it will be the industry standard."

The Past, Present and Future of Bitcoin Bridging 🎙️
Bitcoin is the most liquid asset in crypto, but you don’t see much of it in DeFi. That’s because most user simply HODL Bitcoin.
Data on centralized exchanges tells a different story. There’s tens of billions of Bitcoin traded every day. So why doesn’t that spill over onchain? Few reasons:
1) Part of it is cultural: Bitcoiners are cautious about security and custody. A lot of early bridges and DEXs broke in exactly the ways they feared.
2) Part of it is distribution: Even if you wanted to use your Bitcoin in DeFi, the tools aren’t right there in front of you. You’d have to go looking. Until you can swap from Bitcoin in the same wallet you already use, most people simply won’t.
3) And part of it is product. The Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem barely exists. The big “Bitcoin L2” wave last year produced more hype than apps.
But what if, after years of false starts, maybe Bitcoin is finally about to plug into the rest of crypto?
In this week's episode, I sat down with @jazgulati, the founder of @gardenfi, a bitcoin bridge.
Jaz has been in the Bitcoin trenches since the very beginning and has a lot of great insights to share about the Bitcoin ecosystem and user behaviour.
If you’ve ever wondered when Bitcoin would actually join the multi-chain world, this conversation will give you a glimpse of what that future might look like.

🚨 There’s a large-scale supply chain attack in progress: the NPM account of a reputable developer has been compromised. The affected packages have already been downloaded over 1 billion times, meaning the entire JavaScript ecosystem may be at risk.
The malicious payload works by silently swapping crypto addresses on the fly to steal funds.
If you use a hardware wallet, pay attention to every transaction before signing and you're safe.
If you don’t use a hardware wallet, refrain from making any on-chain transactions for now.
It’s still unclear whether the attacker is also stealing seeds from software wallets directly at this stage.
Excellent report here: https://t.co/5CtiZJHYsN
Interesting read.
Stripe building their blockchain as an L1 instead of ETH L2.
This really shows the bigwigs care about native assets and execution finality.
L2 narrative shattered.
