Respect to all the founders still building through, despite how bad the market is.

Most people don't appreciate how difficult it is to still show up while everything is down badly.

There's a small group of founders in CT who haven't left, didn't rug, and didn't go quiet.

Instead, you'll see them adapting, finding new revenue, and continuing to ship.

If there's a founder out there you know like this, do something today and show them some love.

It costs you nothing, and it means more than you think.

These are the people who are pushing our industry forward.

Apparently we're still here... So allow me to be clear

Alignment
i) Solana validator runs Solana, Jito/Harmonic + Bulk tile
ii) This validator earns a proportionate share of 12.5% exchange revenue, based on stake weight
iii) Stakers to those validators receive the same benefit

Adoption
i) Validator running Bulk tile earns more than validator NOT running Bulk tile
ii) Validator not running begins losing stake to more profitable validator that IS running Bulk tile
iii) Validator NOT running Bulk tile, now decided to add Bulk tile

An attacker spent 9 months building a position, bypassed @VenusProtocol supply cap via a known donation exploit, and extracted $3.7 million, leaving $2.15 million in bad debt on a protocol that has now been rekt four times in five years.

I have interviewed 100 of the best growth leaders over the past 5 years.

None has impressed me as much as @ElenaVerna, Head of Growth @Lovable. Elena scaled Lovable's growth engine from $0 to $400M in ARR in just 2 years.

Today, I released our 20Growth with Elena and have gone over it to condense my biggest lessons from the discussion.

🚀 8 Lessons on Building a $400M ARR Growth Machine:

1. Growth Is No Longer a Distribution Problem. It’s a Trust Problem.

When anyone can build software with AI, functionality stops being the moat. Trust becomes the moat. The question customers ask is simple: “Do I trust this team to keep evolving the product?”

2. Your Product Is Now Your Most Important Channel

The best acquisition channel in 2026 is the product itself. If users love the experience, they share it, talk about it and bring others in. Marketing becomes amplification of product delight.

3. Founder & Employee Socials Are the Most Underrated Growth Channel

Most companies treat social like an intern posting memes. The real opportunity is employees building in public. When engineers, PMs and founders share what they are building, it builds trust and distribution simultaneously.

4. Paid Growth Too Early Is a Death Trap

If you haven’t figured out organic demand yet, paid ads will simply burn cash faster. Until product-market fit is clear and funnels are optimized, paid growth is often just lighting money on fire.

5. CAC:LTV Is a Fantasy for Most Startups

Most companies don’t actually know their LTV. Unless you’ve been operating for years, it’s guesswork. The metric that matters instead: payback period. How quickly do you get your cash back?

6. Community Should Be Built Around Superusers, Not Support Tickets

Most “communities” become complaint forums. The right way: identify your early power users and make them ambassadors. Let them pull others in through enthusiasm, not customer service.

7. Don’t Lock Monetization into Subscriptions

Many AI products are bursty. People build intensely for a period, then slow down. Allowing top-ups or usage-based purchases alongside subscriptions can dramatically increase revenue and retention.

8. The Best Growth Strategy Is Relentless Shipping

Lovable ships improvements daily and major launches every 1–2 months. Constant product evolution keeps the company top-of-mind and continuously re-engages users.

Price impact kills. $50M in, 327 AAVE out. @aave interface routed through @CoWSwap, a solver picked a $73K pool for a $50M trade. Every warning fired. Every contract performed. The dark forest cleaned up the next block. Full fee refund planned.
