Congrats @CharmsDev on the live beaming of eBTC, BRO, ADA, SNEK & more. All trustless, zk-powered, and chain-agnostic.
The UTXO ecosystems just got a lot more connected.
Bitcoin and Cardano are now united by Charms. 🟠🤝🔵
We sent eBTC and BRO to Cardano.
We sent ADA, SNEK, and USDM to Bitcoin.
We unlocked cross-compatible Rust+WASM dapps for both chains.

Megathread; w/ receipts 🧵👇
We’ve raised $1M to build Helios Finance, the Bitcoin-Native Bank.
Led by @drapervc (@TimDraper), @DraperDragon, 3Commas Capital, the BitcoinFi Accelerator and select angel participants.
Helios turns dormant BTC into programmable capital. Borrow natively on Bitcoin L1, earn & auto-loop in institutional-grade vaults, and spend anywhere with the Helios Reserve Card, turning your BTC into a credit line accepted at 150M+ merchants worldwide.
We are happy to welcome @gate_ventures as our new backer and strategic investor
Thanks for supporting our mission to turn Bitcoin into a working capital
The number and quality of applications coming into the @BTCFiNetwork Accelerator is telling.
There’s always been an inverse correlation between price and founder quality, the best builders show up when it’s quiet.
No better time to be building on Bitcoin 🟠🟠🟠
