Just won the @RaylsLabs Hackathon at Cannes, 1st place ($10,000) with @tomm7y

We built Arcana, a RWA protocol bringing yield bearing assets onchain.

Real-world invoices are tokenized as ERC-1155 and processed on a private chain, where an AI agent scores them and computes NAV.
A ZK attestation is then pushed to the public chain, so investors can verify risk without ever seeing the underlying data.
Capital flows into compliant ERC-7540 vaults on the public chain, with most allocated to yield and a small portion reserved at the protocol level for insurance via @Corkprotocol.

Thanks to the @RaylsLabs team and everyone who made this possible

I'm leaving @helius

After 3 years of scaling one of the most recognizable brands in crypto, it is time for me to move on. It's been a crazy journey and I'm thankful for having the opportunity to grow the @solana ecosystem through our work at Helius. Also glad that I got to work on consumer products like @LanaAI, @Orb_Markets and @checkprice, definitely realized I have a kink for product design.

But most of all I'm grateful for the Solana community, there's no better bunch of internet friends anywhere and I plan on staying here and helping any way I can for a long long time to come. Let's bring sovereign money to the masses.

Lock in, manlets! 🫡

Excited to join @ethereumJoseph in Miami for a conversation on where crypto is actually heading during Builder nights!

Multi-chain infra, stablecoins, wallets as the new front-end, and how AI agents may become the next users of onchain systems.

The future gets interesting when billions of agents need wallets, payments, and trust layers🦊

[Joseph Chalom @joechalom]

Honored to have shared the stage with @VitalikButerin and the EF team at the launch of Asia's first Ethereum Community Hub.

Hong Kong continues to impress. The density of talent across ETH, finance, and AI keeps compounding.

Moments like this clarify exactly where the next chapter of onchain finance is being written.

Deep thanks to @SNZHoldings for making this happen. @AyaMiyaguchi, @henrychen_cy

When you use Hyperliquid, you can tell it's built by a team that deeply understands markets.

@PhoenixTrade will prove that you can build a comparable experience, fully on @solana.

Vertical integration is powerful, but the blockchain to house all finance must be borderless.

@cryptochica_arg @ParisBlockWeek Fire week

[Raoul Pal @RaoulGMI]

Wall Street is moving onchain. The question isn't if. It's which infrastructure wins.

I sat down with @VivekVentures and @dannyryan from Etherealize to talk about Ethereum's role in tokenization, stablecoins, AI agents, and the regulatory path ahead. As ever, please enjoy!

[Alsie | Dune @AlsieLC]

Wrapping up @ParisBlockWeek

Here’s my review:

- Full on suits - very few degens
- Institutional heavy, banking, payment, compliance, taxes, consulting. Many working on infra and some kind of “on-boarding” kits for more businesses to adopt blockchain
- more commercial focused conversations. People realize that any service has a price and it’s no longer logo x logo partnerships and synergy
- Less international crowd
- Less attendance ( like every conference this year) less sponsors. But the venue is still PACKED with non-stop football traffic.
- People actually listened to talks. You see suits taking notes and follow up asking questions.
- Way less side events than any other conference this year.
- less jobless people than any other conferences so far
- not too many swags. People prefer to take away brochures and reports to learn vs a tshirt
- more LinkedIn qr scanned than telegram
- more business cards

Overall, the vibe felt a lot more bullish on the industry than other conferences.

[Guy Wuollet @guywuolletjr]

Come work with me @a16zcrypto! We are hiring an investment partner for our crypto team.

We’re a small high trust group that focuses on investing in everything related to blockchains including DeFi, onchain finance, decentralized AI, and the infrastructure to support those applications.

If you are an onchain degenerate arbitraging between vaults, love working with founders at an early stage, and/or feel passionate about decentralized AI, please talk to us or refer a friend.

Our investment partners help identify and select the companies we invest in, thinking critically about new technologies and market trends. They also serve as mentors for the companies they invest in, helping them make progress across product, GTM, fundraising, etc

We’re looking for:
- Strong DeFi expertise either as a builder directly, a power user, or an investor
- Interest in working with protocols and start ups at every stage
- A strong network of onchain frens, especially those starting new projects

If you’re interested, please send me a DM or refer a friend!

Ethcc Cannes:

Many of the OGs are rekt and fully out. Got asked a lot if I'm hiring. That probably says a lot about where crypto is right now. Retail is done.

The version of crypto we knew a few years ago is pretty much dead. DeFi is still very alive, institutions are excited about RWAs, stablecoins are still hot, and AI is everywhere.

The hype cooled off, but the tech and primitives got stronger. Less mania, better infrastructure.

@francescoswiss @EthCC @WalletConnect @dee_centralized @GoogleAI @drakefjustin @fhenix the food here is really good, and the atmosphere is much better this year

[EthCC - Ethereum Community Conference @EthCC]

⚠️ SCAM ALERT: A flyer advertising a “Free EthCC[9] NFT” is being distributed with a QR code.

This is NOT from EthCC. We did not create or authorize this.

Do NOT scan the QR code or connect your wallet.

Stay safe.

[The Collective @1stcollective]

Congrats @openfx_ !

[Temu Brian Armstrong @MrCampbell]

I’ve heard people say that, because the market is down, this year’s ETH CC doesn’t matter. Conversely I think it’s the opposite. If teams are able to deploy marketing budget here it signals resilience and real revenue. Much better signal than splashing out during a bull run.

[Alias Harbos @AliasHarbos]

@MrCampbell you’re right, it shows that the teams are resilient and have real revenue, but above all, it’s their love for what they do

[Alias Harbos @AliasHarbos]

@cjhtech are you planning to stop here?
