We're aiming to create the most valuable social network for startups. Apply below

@shriyanevatia @Superhuman Go Shriya go!!

[gaut @0xgaut]

we started @universaldotxyz with one simple goal: make every asset available and liquid on every chain

since launching a little over a year ago, we've done close to $2B in volume across chains like @base, @solana, @katana, @world_chain_ and now @unichain

much more to come

[gaut @0xgaut]

a year ago Universal didn't exist, today uAssets hold nearly 25M of TVL, and have done $1.5B in volume across @base @solana @katana and @world_chain_

we're just getting started

@universaldotxyz

[gaut @0xgaut]

I'm excited to announce @universaldotxyz is now on @Solana.

Trade all the top 80+ crypto assets from your @phantom wallet with uAssets.

Today, it's still too complicated to trade all the assets we want to trade. DOGE, XRP, SUI, and all the rest - now they’re available on @Solana.

Fully composable, and dynamically mint/redeemable via the API.

What’s in the box?
• 80+ of the top crypto assets
• All 1:1 verifiably backed in Coinbase Prime
• $1.2B+ already traded across chains

Powered by offchain liquidity routed straight into your @phantom wallet from the Universal frontend.

Three ways to find uAssets:

1. On https://t.co/emDFOE3pGj
Swap USDC → uXRP (or uWhatever) powered by the Universal API.

2. Three @RaydiumProtocol pools
uXRP/SOL, uSUI/SOL, and uDOGE/SOL are open with incentives humming. Trade or LP, your choice.

2. Native mint & redeem
Drop in SUI, pick up uSUI (and vice versa). Same deal for DOGE, XRP, and the rest. Arb, LP, or make use of some idle assets..

Why you should care
- Liquidity without borders: all the majors, zero hassle.
- Composability for Sol teams: Solana protocols can plug 80+ new assets with our API on onchain liquidity.
- DeFi escape velocity: fresh pairs, new integrations, more to do.

Solana speed + Universal Assets.

Trade everything on @Solana. Let’s see what you build.

uAssets did 3x more volume on @AerodromeFi in a single day than they did in the entire month of September.

Accelerate.

[Erik Torenberg @eriktorenberg]

Excited to announce “Turpentine Lists” — an effort to spotlight breakout founders, operators, investors/funds, products, and companies that the startup ecosystem should be paying more attention to.

If you want the (anonymized) data set of recommendations of people, products, or companies, or if you just want any of them to get more recognition, fill out the form in the next tweet.

When I did this many years ago with my @cosign / Rise Awards experiments, the nomination data was helpful in identifying breakout talent & companies and it informed some investments I made. I'm stoked to do it again and share the data with people who submit nominations.

[Jason Saltzman @saltzman_jason]

What if the business world tracked talent movement like the sports world does?

Excited to partner with @eriktorenberg, @geraldinesistos, and the @TurpentineMedia team to power their Free Agency newsletter with weekly coverage of the most notable career moves in tech.

This week's biggest moves 👇
