The classic strcpy implementation from K&R. Still one of the most quietly beautiful loops in C.

packs can still be crafted onchain with 100k MOGG.

Thrive Capital's Philip Clark on Cursor's Meteoric Growth*

- Oct 2023: $8M Seed led by OpenAI Startup Fund
- Aug 2024: $60M Series A at $400M**
- Dec 2024: $100M Series B at $2.6B
- Jun 2025: $900M Series C at $9.9B
- Nov 2025: $2.3B Series D at $29.3B (crossed $1B annualized revenue)
- Apr 17 2026: Rumored $2B+ financing at $50B
- Apr 21 2026: SpaceX obtains rights to buy Cursor for $60 billion later this year or pay $10 billion for the work the companies are doing together.

"Cursor automating a lot of the drudgery associated with coding, and being the ultimate AI pair programmer for a lot of developers."

"Think when we invested, there were a couple tens of thousands of users & low single digits million ARR.

Fast-forward to today, I don't think the company publicly publishes revenue, but call it in the many, many $100Ms of run rate revenue, & many millions of developers using the product.

And that has just been an incredible growth story in the span of just 18 months."

BREAKING: March PCE inflation, the Fed's preferred inflation measure, rises to 3.5%, the highest since August 2023.

Core PCE inflation rises to 3.2%, the highest since November 2023.

In the first month of the Iran War, US inflation hit a 3-year high.

April's data will be interesting.

@dtk @blank_nothing0 The book itself is called Codex of Solana
I'm still open to community suggestions tho😊

[David @defemisback]

“Ethereum scaled” is doing a lot of work here. What actually scaled is execution fragmentation + reliance on off-chain coordination layers to stitch it back together. Your solution to fragmentation is yet another meta-layer coordinating liquidity and messaging

[1inch @1inch]

Ethereum's scaling worked. The fragmentation that came with it didn't.

Every new L2 is a silo. The Ethereum Economic Zone – a new initiative by Gnosis, Zisk and the Ethereum Foundation – aims to fix that: shared liquidity, cross-network interactions, no bridges.

[Panoptic @Panoptic_xyz]

LPing = options.

Shoutout to @guil_lambert for putting that on @caseycraig’s radar.

Now she’s building @Euphoria_fi and pushing derivatives UX forward.

[D8X @d8x_exchange]

@0xPolygon If you’re tokenizing securities, you don’t rent rails you own them.
Control the rules, bake in compliance, scale liquidity.
That’s the play.

We all want @x402 to win.

Our first major release from @TektonicCompany, with support from @GoogleCloudTech & @solana, brings us a step closer to institutional adoption & monitoring of x402.

We created the first high-throughput real time x402 BigQuery table for Solana and Base

[Solana Payments @solanapayments]

Unique senders of non-USD stablecoins on @solana nearly tripled YoY, driven by EURC and BRZ adoption.
