Happy to ship the first version of Hedgebook, powered by @Kalshi : an app showing how every SPX companies can hedge their core business risks using Kalshi event contract markets.
Event contracts and perpetual contracts consolidated into a single, onshore, regulated exchange is how we get to perfect Arrow-Debreu markets.
Thanks to @j0hnwang and @0x_ultra for inviting me to build this, and to Nicole from @KalshiResearch for inviting me to present the early frameworks at the Kalshi Research Conference in March.
For the post play meals, I made a map of affordable, filling meals under $15 for New Yorkers.
Because simple joys like eating out shouldn't have to be expensive - and the cheap spots mean nothing if you can't find them.

Young people are always told what not to do. But what should you do?
Did you know that most public libraries have a Nintendo Switch to use? That parks show free movies at night? That there's a map of pickup basketball games?
https://t.co/Nb8rOAGO4T is a map of free and affordable things to do this summer that we made just for you.
Because public programs mean nothing if you don't know how to access them.

Saying that smart kids from Waterloo who just got their first check from @ycombinator are doing this for disingenius reasons
What the fuck
What’s wrong with you? Why are you punching down on peoplw younger than you + saying that VCs shouldnt give them any money
How tall are you?

Mr. Vembu wants you to come back to India so he can pay you peanuts and his organization can make money on geo arbitrage of labour
@tsvtxt@Base44 Launching and let the market decide with a lil marketing push is what I'd do. You never know if a simple app becomes viral or a really good app gets no users.
Wild seeing this 🙏 @Base44
Built this as someone living in NYC watching every dollar, turns out thousands of people had the same problem.
You shouldn't need 6 figures to enjoy something as simple as eating out
Jaison used Base44 to build an interactive map for finding cheap meals in NYC.
It currently has 3,000+ users, 1,000 restaurants, and it's spreading to Chicago, Miami, and SF:
USDG just flipped PYUSD in market cap. A Paxos vs Paxos showdown, and I had a front-row seat to both.
I pushed the button to deploy the PYUSD smart contract back in 2023. A year later, I led the engineering side that launched USDG and the Global Dollar Network. Watching this play out is wild.
The timeline:
PYUSD → launched August 2023
USDG → launched November 2024, ~15 months later
Market cap → May 11, 2026: USDG ~3.5B vs PYUSD ~3.46
The thesis that's playing out:
1/ USDG passes most of the stablecoin economics to its partners. PYUSD doesn't.
2/ GDN partners don't need to leave their wheelhouse to grow it: market makers handle liquidity, exchanges list it, DeFi integrates it. This is all built in. No need to learn how this works. The flywheel runs itself. You plug-in to an entire network.
3/ Liquidity is the real moat. OKX isn't listing a BTC pair against an unknown stablecoin. Fragmented liquidity is an exchange's worst nightmare and users hate it. Network effects > tech.
4/ White-label stablecoins (issued via Stripe + Bridge, etc.) have the economics but not the network. You're on your own for distribution. This is pure vanity.
5/ With USDC and USDT, enterprises only get economics through backroom deals, and even then, you're just helping Circle or Tether grow. After the deal ends, you don't have negotiating power.
6/ With USDG you get the economics and the distribution (free growth team!), backed by an issuer that's been the adult in the room for 10+ years and the most regulated stablecoin issuer. Paxos even grew and unwound a 24B+ stablecoin, BUSD previously. Experience and reputation in this industry is key, this is something that VC money can't buy.
USDG's day-one partners: Robinhood, Galaxy, Kraken, Bullish, Anchorage, and more.
Today: 100+ GDN partners including Mastercard, OKX, World Pay, and more
This might be the winning stablecoin strategy unfolding in real time.
