SITUATION DETECTED: Warhound launched from stealth today with a $200M seed at a $1.2B valuation. Ben Lamm and Palmer Luckey are cloning gene-edited bio-enhanced dogs and equipping them with custom Anduril vests, goggles, and sensors for the military and law enforcement.
Problem is ‘quiet reliable infra’ doesn’t feel like a big play. Everyone feels like they need a big play the whole time, not just steady, patient growth. It’s the https://t.co/5IdZkOUTOA approach to product development - chuck another idea out and see if it moons. (I’m sure that’s not quite fair to Aave, but in general you see it a lot)
SpaceX reported Q3 earnings last night.

You can now trade SPCXon from @ondo on @solana through 1inch.
This. Unfortunately we haven’t matured enough as an industry to do codes beyond ‘big towers = we’re real players now’ and ‘real human face means credible’.
There’s also such a focus on launches that we’re always trying to 1:1 sell an idea rather than build the brand codes that would support it over time.
FWIW I def think Solana has tried to do this more than most, but the counselling and marketer/jump out the window videos were both pretty tone deaf (or I’m too centrist dad for them)
Tokenization is happening. But how efficient is DeFi, really? Could we ever see price discovery happening on-chain?

My Forbes interview is out.
Let me be clear: DeFi and 1inch are set to become central to global finance. The profits and size will come.
But you don't get there by only focusing on extracting from users today.
You get there by building better products, better outcomes and expanding the market.
Build the rails now. Charge when all of finance runs on them. That's what @1inch is all about.

Cross-currency borrowing is DEFINITELY the most underrated opportunities in tokenization.
It's a huge unlock when your tokenized currencies are liquid-by-default & yield-bearing.
