Binary Builders

We do AI, Crypto and Finance things. Reach out if you’d like to work together.

[Marko Polo @MarkoBaricevic_]

Some personal news: I’m closing the chapter on Binary Builders.

Most of the Binary team has joined Celestia. I’ve been involved with Celestia since the very beginning, and the team there is great. I’m excited to see what they build together.

I decided not to join, I’m taking a break to recharge and explore new ideas.

Binary Builders will no longer take on new projects. Our validators will transition to Validatus over the next few weeks.

Running Binary taught me how to build a company, an engineering team, and a business from scratch. It was hard, and I loved every part of it.

Thank you to everyone who worked at Binary, to our clients, to our delegators who trusted us, and to Cosmos and Celestia for years of partnership.

If you’re working on something interesting, my DMs are always open.

Closing the Binary Builders chapter with a lot of gratitude. Proud of what we built together, bootstrapped from zero. Big love to @MarkoBaricevic_ , our team @binary_builders, our clients, delegators, and everyone across Cosmos and Celestia who was part of the ride.

Excited to take a breather, try new things, and see what comes next.

Got invited onto a podcast for the first time with @OdysseyBiS to talk about everything DeFi.

Had a great time discussing the broader landscape from how DeFi is evolving and converging with CeFi <> TradFi, to a few protocols i’ve been covering recently at @mementoresearch like @Mantle_Official, @pendle_fi and @ethena.

Feel free to tune in if you're interested 👇

Also highly recommend giving Odyssey a follow, he’s been hosting a solid lineup of podcasts.

Featured many key builders and researchers across the space packed with plenty of alpha 🫡
