$1B in trading volume surpassed on RISEx since Private Beta opened.
Built with feedback from the traders who showed up first and helped refine the product.
Thank you for the continued support. This is just the beginning.

talked to a YC company that scaled from $0 → $2m ARR in their first 6 months with their ENTIRE GTM built off going to conferences.
Here's the playbook they cracked (step by step):
~4 weeks before:
> Post abt the conference and tell attendees exactly how to reach you
> Send personal DMs to the right ppl on LinkedIn and X
> Reply within the hour & lock in 10 top targets to close.
> Send everyone else to your drip email campaign.
Then, set a meeting block of 1-3 days during the conference:
> make shared booking link for the team
> Reserve a quiet café / private dining room
> Pack in 12 meetings per day, 30 min each, with buffer time built in
While you're there:
>Hand every prospect a thoughtful small gift and a personal card
>Single out 5 standout customers whose pain ur product actually solves
>Pull them aside for a casual on-camera Q&A in a solid film spot
>Don't pitch hard.
>Let the conversation breathe and weave your product in naturally.
The 4 weeks after
>Hand the raw footage to a freelance editor + ask for ~15-20 punchy clips with captions.
>Drop a new clip every couple of days on LI / X
> use these clips when you post online about the next conference to keep the momentum
This is the formula, costs less than a few thousand dollars to execute.
They’re on track to end the Y1 at ~$6m ARR (B2B, targeting large enterprises) + STILL not using any other channels for customer acquisition
AI brings scale to specificity.
my workflow now:
paste a lead's LinkedIn into Claude → get a full profile in minutes (posts, tech stack, pain points) → draft the DM together, not let AI write it alone.
the rule: lead with the person, not the product. 3-5 lines. no meeting push. just a real question about what they're building.
➡️founder whose cloud credits were expiring? opened on cost optimization, not a pitch.
➡️CEO who posted about an open-source project we both use? led with that.
➡️someone post-acquisition? researched their new constraints first.
every message is different because the research is different.

After the recent LayerZero exploit, we are taking steps to ensure rsETH is fully secure, which is why we are migrating to @chainlink CCIP.
From the April 18 incident, it is clear that LayerZero's own infrastructure was exploited, resulting in $300M in losses across DeFi. Independent reports from SEAL 911, Chainalysis, and other major leading security researchers all point to the same origin.
There are questions that the ecosystem deserves answers to. And we are ensuring rsETH is secured by infrastructure that doesn't leave these questions open.
That’s why we’re setting the record straight.
