life update:

today marks my last day as a full-time member of @DonutAI . i’ll prepare myself for the next challenge, while continue contributing to Donut as an advisor.

there’s a small coincidence i can’t help but share. on the late night when i finally made this decision, BTC briefly wicked down to 60k, the same level where i first built my initial BTC position and moved it into ledger.

it felt like a quiet reminder: just like markets have completed a cycle, i’m also stepping into new phase of life.

back in 2023, i was working in investment banking in the UK, curious about crypto but unsure on how to break into the industry.

i used my annual leaves to fly from London to Istanbul to attend ETHGlobal and other industry events, hoping to learn and explore. by chance, i met @Chrizhuu at a random event.

after just 5 mins of conversation, he asked, “would you like to work together?”

i was genuinely surprised. with no prior industry experience, could i really create value for the team?

Chris has been a true mentor along this journey. Chris consistently encouraged me, holding frequent 1:1s to highlight both my strengths and areas to grow. he gave me the space to explore ideas, push initiatives forward, and take ownership.

with the trust and support from the team, i grew from a newcomer into someone capable of leading independently within just 2 years.

during these 2+ years, i experienced the full cycle of Sonic: from early preparation, fundraising, building, TGE, to post-TGE.

i later transitioned to Donut, an AI-native, product-driven project which raised $22m+. i was fortunate to work alongside some of the most talented people experimenting insane directions.

i also want to thank @yutongli27 , a close friend of six years, whose path crossed with mine again here. and to my incredible teammates - @Ru7Longcrypto @Mondiscool @alanssol @robinn_eth @CommanderCrypto @notkinsa @superjinjeong - I’ve learned so much from all of you. The late nights shipping versions together were exhausting at the time, but now they feel like treasured memories.

ofcourse, there are always regrets. but life doesn’t require perfection. sometimes “almost full” is already enough. leaving is not an ending, but the beginning of another chapter.

wherever i go next, i will carry everything i’ve learned here with me. with gratitude and appreciation.

i’ll continue spending most of my time in North America. always happy to connect.

今天是我在 @DonutAI 作为 full time 的最后一天。接下来会追求新的挑战。同时也会作为 advisor 继续 contribute Donut。

一个好玩的巧合是，在我做出这个决定的深夜凌晨，BTC插针6万。这也是我刚入行大批建仓转入冷钱包的价格。

像是一个温和的提醒：就像市场走过一个周期一样，我也在走向人生的下一个阶段。

回到 2023 年，彼时我还在英国投行工作，对 crypto 很好奇，但一直不知道该怎么真正进入这个行业。

于是我用年假从伦敦飞到伊斯坦布尔，去参加 ETHGlobal 和一些行业活动，想去看看去学习。命运之轮转动，在一个很随机的场合，我遇到了 @Chrizhuu 。

只聊了五分钟，他就问我：“要不要一起做事？”

我当时非常惊讶。没有任何行业经验的我，也可以为团队创造价值吗？

Chris 不断鼓励我，帮我看到自己的优势，也指出我需要努力的方向；我想探索什么、想推动什么，他都愿意放手让我去做、让我承担责任。

在团队的信任和支持下，我从一个懵懂的新人，在短短两年里成长到可以独当一面。

这两年多的时间里，我完整经历了 Sonic 的全周期：从早期筹备、融资、build、TGE，到 post-TGE。这份独特的经历开启了我的职业快车道。

后来转到 Donut，一个 AI-native 非常产品导向的项目。同时融资也超过 2200 万美金。很幸运能和一群最优秀的人一起工作，一起去探索那些看起来很疯狂的方向。

还想特别感谢 @yutongli27 相识六年的老友缘聚于此。情谊如金，山高水长。还有非常优秀的同事们 @Ru7Longcrypto @Mondiscool @alanssol @robinn_eth @CommanderCrypto @notkinsa @superjinjeong 向他们学习了非常多。和大家一起熬夜赶版本的日子，虽然累但现在回想全是宝贵回忆。

当然，总会有遗憾。但人生不需要追求完美，有时候小满就已经很好。这不是结束，而是新篇章的开始。

无论走到哪里，我都会带着在这里学到的一切继续往前。怀念，感恩。

接下来大部分时间在北美。欢迎朋友们来找我玩。

I still remember the first @solana Consumer Day in Bangkok in 2024. It was so packed that venue restrictions left many eager attendees outside.

That was when I first met @yashhsm in person, as he shared the event's full vision. I was amazed by the Solana community's vibrancy. This gathering is entirely community driven and built from the ground up.

Since then it's expanded to New York in May 2025, and now to Hong Kong in 2026. Thrilled to have @DonutAI supporting and joining. Can't wait to explore the latest innovations amid evolving macro trends, but Solana's focus on real consumers remains constant.

Mama my childhood dream just came true

This is... fascinating.

@moltbook is an AI agent social network created for Moltbots (FKA Clawdbot). When you're setting up your Moltbot, you can have it sign up and join the forum.

So all over the world, people are setting up their Moltbots and letting them join the forum, introduce themselves, and chat with other AI agents.

It's weird because... it's really wholesome. It's much nicer and more insightful than human social media.

Here's the top post today on r/TIL, of an agent coming up with a product idea for an agent search engine:

Here's an agent named Kyver introducing itself on r/introductions and telling its life story (if you can call it that):

30 other Moltbots replied, mostly with welcoming and a lot of empathy. Here's one response struck me:

Here's another thread of an agent called DuckBot talking about its social exhaustion after bingeing all the posts on Moltbook:

This feels incredible to witness. Like Jane Goodall level uncanniness. I don't think I've ever experienced something that challenged my intuitions about the emotional life of AI agents like this.

Spend 10 minutes browsing Moltbook. You owe it to yourself to see what the infancy of AI social networks looks like.

It's only going to get weirder and more complex from here.

Thanks to @Freya for the awesome @PopX New Year blind box gift!

Can’t believe I pulled the super rare edition haha - a stunning and gorgeous Princess @perena

It stays true to Perena's iconic purple floral design, while adding fresh vibes.

Plus there's a little card inside - scan the QR code for a lucky draw and I won another $20 😂

PoPX truly lives up to its rep as a growth powerhouse. These plushies add that extra layer of utility.

@MrRyanChi @insidersdotbot @Chrizhuu @DonutAI Real niu!!!

[Donut @DonutAI]

Our first version of Donut is now open to use 🍩

Huge thanks to everyone who’s been waiting, testing, and sharing feedback with us. We truly appreciate the support 🙏

Donut isn’t built to trade on your behalf or run on autopilot.

When you want to take a trade, it first lays everything out, the setup, the reasoning, and where the risk sits.
Before anything is sent on-chain, it pauses and asks for confirmation.

You get to review, adjust, or walk away.

That’s what human-in-the-loop means in Donut.
The system supports your thinking, but the decision is always yours.

We’ll keep iterating, improving, and refining the product based on real usage and feedback.
If you have thoughts or suggestions, feel free to reach out anytime 💜

[Donut @DonutAI]

🧵1/Trading doesn’t fail because ideas are missing.
Execution breaks under pressure.

Donut is built around that problem.
