The $TRIBUNES pool is now open for minting on #Ethereum & #Pulsechain!
I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute to the DeFi movement in this way, & I hope this is just the beginning of a long & prosperous journey with you all in making the world a better place💛
"In 494 BCE, amidst the turmoil in the 'Conflict of the Orders,' ancient Rome responded to the pleas of its commoners. The plebeians, sick of aristocratic supremacy, sought fair representation & protection. This led to the birth of a benevolent political group: the Tribunes." ⚔️
In an ideal world all software and hardware would have "nutrition labels" that provide a full list of trust dependencies - what math and which actors' honest behavior (and on what time scale) the system is relying on to provide its core functionality and implied guarantees.
Why are we here?
Permissionless II opener from @ErikVoorhees that got an entire crypto conference on their feet
Cappy early website is up: https://t.co/lnvhzelcDi
Cappy X account: @CappyWallet
Just wanted thank you guys for all the support on this. This is just the tip of the iceberg, there are a lot of things I plan to do in as short as possible of order. Couldn't do it without you guys.
I'll be splitting updates between my personal / Cappy X accounts. I've been asked many times how people can help, I put some info on the site for now.
Anyways, less talking more doing. The roadmap on the site is accurate as of right now. But I'm moving fast.
I want this wallet to exist so I can enjoy it too.
When PulseChain launched, the one thing I knew we were going to be missing was infrastructure.
Not hype.
Not another token.
Not another chart.
Infrastructure.
Ethereum had years to build out the tooling, RPCs, indexers, data services, dashboards, wallet support, integrations, and all the invisible pieces that make a chain actually usable.
PulseChain needed a lot of that on day one.
So that’s where I focused.
It is a relatively thankless part of the ecosystem. Most people only notice infrastructure when it breaks. It does not really have a flashy narrative. It does not pump because a node stayed online. It does not trend because a backend service quietly handled traffic for another app.
But a lot of projects depend on it.
That work was hard, and for the most part, I do not really make anything from it. I did it because I thought it needed to be done.
At this point, I consider a lot of that infrastructure work done. Or at least done enough that I can start shifting more attention toward the next missing pieces.
Software is like an onion.
There are layers upon layers.
Most people only see the final app, the interface, the button they click, or the thing they directly use. But underneath that are all the other pieces that have to exist first: RPCs, APIs, data services, indexers, contracts, routing logic, security assumptions, UX standards, integrations, and a dozen other things nobody really wants to think about until something breaks.
Some software cannot properly exist until other software exists beneath it.
And when those lower layers are missing, someone has to build them.
That is a lot of what my work on PulseChain has been. Not just building the thing people see, but building the things the visible thing depends on.
That also means I have had to put my own personal opinions aside in a lot of cases.
There is software out there that I do not personally agree with. There are projects I would not use myself. There are decisions I may not like, products I may not believe in, and approaches I may think are wrong.
But infrastructure has to be agnostic.
If you are building foundational layers for an ecosystem, you cannot only support the things you personally like. You cannot alienate every project you disagree with. You cannot build in a way that says, “This only works for my corner of the chain.”
That is not how we grow.
A real ecosystem needs room for different products, different opinions, different strategies, and different types of users. Even when I disagree with someone, that does not automatically mean they should be cut off from the infrastructure layer.
That is not always easy.
But I think it matters.
And to be clear, I see a lot of devs working very hard on a lot of things.
I do not like shitting on people who are actually building good things. I can personally disagree with someone’s direction and still respect the work they are putting in. Those two things are not mutually exclusive.
There are projects I might not use myself. There are design choices I might not make. There are products I might think should go a different direction.
But if someone is showing up, writing code, solving problems, and trying to make the chain more useful, I respect that.
The beauty of software is that none of this has to be winner-take-all.
If another dev does not like Cappy, but they like a feature in it, they can implement that idea in their own way. If they think I missed something, they can improve on it. If they think my approach is wrong, they can prove it by building something better.
That is how this should work.
And in cases where there is strong overlap, I will even help where I can, as time allows.
That is how you grow.
That is how you get taken seriously as a chain.
In my opinion, anyway. I can be wrong.
That is part of why I’m building Cappy.
If you do not like Cappy, you do not have to use it. I mean that sincerely. I am not building a wallet because I think everyone has to agree with my taste, my priorities, or my product decisions.
I am building the wallet I personally would want to use.
That may not be the wallet you want to use. That’s fine. Some people like Microsoft Word. Some people like Google Docs. Some people like Rabby. Some people like MetaMask. Some people want something simple. Some people want something powerful. Some people want every possible feature. Some people want as little friction as possible.
There is no single perfect answer for everyone.
But the wallet I wanted to use on PulseChain did not exist in the form I wanted it to exist, so I decided to build it.
A lot of the pieces of this chain, I honestly thought other people would eventually figure out. In some cases, they did. In other cases, not really.
I thought we would attract more external devs. I thought more projects would port over. I thought more teams would support their forks. I thought more of the obvious gaps would get filled over time.
Maybe I was wrong to expect that.
Maybe I should have seen it differently from the beginning.
Either way, it is what it is.
At some point, I stopped waiting for other people to build the things I wanted to see exist.
That does not mean I think I am always right. I am not infallible. I am sure I will make decisions some people disagree with. I am sure some people will not like the way I build things. I am sure some people will think I should be working on something else.
That is fine.
You can dislike the software I write and not use it.
It really is that simple.
But I am going to keep building the things I believe are important.
People ask, “What about Sigma?”
I am working on it in parallel with Cappy.
People ask, “What about Cross Chain IcosaHedron?”
I am working on it in parallel with Cappy.
People ask, “What about the other ten pieces of software the ecosystem still needs?”
That is exactly the point.
These things are not always separate in the way people think they are. A wallet needs infrastructure. Cross-chain systems need reliable data. DeFi products need tooling. User-facing apps need lower-level services that most people will never directly touch.
Some things need other things to exist before they can function properly.
And if those other things do not exist, someone has to make them.
I am not randomly jumping between projects.
I am building the layers that make the next layer possible.
I have been told many times that I should run a foundation, or try to organize things, or try to be some kind of public face for the ecosystem. I do not know if I would even be good at that. Maybe I would. Maybe I would not.
What I do know is that I am at least decent at software.
So that is where I am putting my energy.
I can try to do the things I wish more people were doing.
Am I the happiest with Richard right now? No.
Do I respect what he has built? Yes.
Am I still hopeful for the future? Yes.
Those things can all be true at the same time.
I have more or less put everything on the line to move quickly and build things I think matter. The infrastructure phase was the first big priority, and I think that work is now far enough along that I can focus more heavily on actual products people can touch, use, critique, and hopefully benefit from.
Many of you support me, and I see that.
I do not take it lightly.
All I can really promise is this: I am going to keep trying to give this ecosystem the best software I can.
Not because everyone has to use it.
Not because I think I am the answer to every problem.
Not because I agree with every project.
But because I still believe PulseChain deserves better tools, better infrastructure, better user experiences, and more people willing to actually build the missing pieces.
That is what I am trying to do.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. I hope you like the things I do. None of this is any kind of advice, especially financial and P.S. Cappy comes with a block explorer that (hopefully) people find fast and functional enough to like. It was a requirement to make Cappy work. Modified Blockscout fork.
Same :)
You know why I still have any belief in this stuff? The community, that’s pretty much it.
Maybe I’ve just been here too long… but crypto communities are often nothing but paid shills. Even when it was just $HEX everyone else thought we were just paid shills and bots.
Never was the case, just a bunch of people who cared about core principles. I think a lot of people are of the mindset that the core principles don’t matter and only price matters.
Yeah, I understand that sentiment. But I also disagree just on the fact that if price was the only thing that mattered, surely no one would be around anymore.
So yeah for better or worse, that’s my motivation. Anywhere else feels less genuine. Not that’s it’s always been sunshine and rainbows mind you, but people care. And a lot of them care for the right reasons. That’s the important part.
Can always count on Alex to be cooking!
I've been working in silence for quite a while now. Tbh, I don't really even know where to start, so cue the rambling and ranting.
Regardless of which side of the fence you sit on, no one can argue the past few years haven't been politically and economically wild. For crypto as a whole it feels like a never ending game of tug of war.
A lot of X content has become toxic, so I just largely am not interacting these days. But I read, I read a lot of it. I think we like to forget history a bit in this community. $PLS launched off the highs, and the SEC swooped in right after.
Very few people want to admit it, but it shook confidence immediately. I mean no other crypto project has survived such a thing at the time. But #PLS $PLSX and $HEX did. However, winning doesn't unshake that confidence. And RH during and after that event took social precautions to protect himself and his creations.
Thing is, the guy isn't stupid. Someone once asked me if I thought certain aspects of the launch we rushed because he knew it was coming? And honestly, maybe. I'd attribute at least a non-zero probability to it. And If that were the case, im glad it was rushed. That case may have gone differently otherwise.
Do I still think #PulseChain, #HEX, etc... all have futures? Yes. RH has had the opportunity to just straight up bounce from all of this. Why hasn't he? You could point to exhibit A, B, C, D, etc... of how he's likely got the funds to do that and we all could relatively do nothing about it.
So why is he still around? I think it's pretty simple. The usual answer, he wants to win. It's in his twitter handle for Christs sakes. I'll go a step further and say he likely also wants us to win by extension, arguably not as much as he wins, but I mean that's pretty locked in at the moment 🤣
That's not to say he hasn't long been encumbered. And in that state, at lot has gone on without him. Much of which is / was bad. $pDAI guys... I pointed out from day one how building all this around a protocol in a dangerous state was a risky move. And I was right about that.... on multiple occasions... But does that matter now? I suppose not as much. In its current state, it's seemingly no longer exploitable. No different than a meme token now. (presumably, not like I have deep dove on any further risks since ESM). So I guess just whale risk mainly now?
Now a lot of people here are in the anti-pdai camp. Me too for what it's worth. But I don't care as much about it's negative anymore in its current state. A lot of people are still in the #pDAI camp strongly. We view this as tribalism, but it's important to note that makes all of us in the #PulseChain camp universally. So these day I find myself relatively pDAI neutral. If you guys want to send it to $1 do it. Only whales can stop you, they run out eventually. (insert super strong this is NOT financial advice). Hell you can maybe even use Sigma to help? Or maybe it wont help, idk. Depends on how people use the software.
Conversely, when looking at chain state overall... Why is there nearly $50M in stables sitting on the sidelines. Why not just bridge it out if you want out of what you think is a dead chain. Surely leaving it there exposes you to bridge risk? Why all these yield movements, why the $HEX dusts.... Something is happening. People are seemingly waiting to see what that something is. Or I am reading into things, NFA as always. This whole post is just ramblings of someone trying to do the best they can and certainly not any kind of advice.
When I look at other ecosystems, I see a level of polish we don't have. I see tooling we don't have, I see a fostered developer environment we don't have. So I've just been building it, painstakingly.... Because someone has to if we want to be taken seriously.
And what I've been building has allowed me to get Sigma to where it is. Sigma is so close... Really just in UI mode, performance optimization, going through nice to haves. I don't believe in launching in a non-finished immutable state. So yeah, I take my time. As with everything.
But my point with all of this, and the "why" #Sigma question.... It's unifying, anyone can participate. Which tribe you're in doesn't matter. And if you don't like it, don't use it. It's just software you can use or not use. As it should be.
The years of tooling work to deliver this has been a lot of work for one guy in silence. In that time AI has appeared. My take, every dev should be using it. Given the right direction and context. It will make you better. If you blindly trust it, it will make you worse. GPT 5.4 audits smart contracts better than most auditing services. Especially if you give it the context of what you are trying to do.
Anyways I digress, testnet is soon. Soon more meaning a feeling of near completion not always reality. That how software is. I do think Sigma stands to unify the chain in a common goal, and shift liquidity into more meaningful places, but ultimately it up to the people the decide to use the software or not use it.
And after these frameworks I've built will be applied to what I am tentatively calling the universal hex UI. More or less something aggregative of every derivative I can reasonably support. With data and analytics we since lost. So not just $HEX, $HDRN, and $ICSA, but others as well. However, that depends on some aspect of $Sigma to exist first, so sigma first, chain unity first.
And last but not least, take care of yourselves and strive to do cool things. If we aren't doing cool things then what's the point?
Hope you think my UI looks good, I spent a while on it.

@TantoNomini Seems like the safer / stronger play to me!
Ethereum is the best testing ground.
You don’t need a dedicated Mac mini to build things with Claude Code. All you need is an iPhone and a GitHub account. Bookmark this guide for driving projects forward with Claude Code on your phone.

Nice to see a project that focuses on supporting $HEX specifically!
End of the day, there are lots of shiny new coins but most of us came here due to the mechanics behind $HEX.
I still believe these DeFi mechanics are superior to almost any other coin out there. Accessibility, security, and delayed gratification and will ultimately win over. Just takes time for the market to recognize this.
Flexdex test run on FlexNet testnet will kick off very soon. This is the last thing before mainnet suddenly gets turned on. We are looking for hexicans to try the minting and swap interface plus the Flexdex trading terminal for Claude agents. Reply here if you want to be included
My company blueprint is now a species level goal of helping humanity achieve immortality by 2039.
It’s the right moment for all businesses to make species survival their primary objective. Any business seducing people into self destructive behavior is an enemy of humanity.
Our 200 year old economic system is built upon “the invisible hand”, an idea of Adam Smith that billions of us make independent, self-interested decisions daily. Allowing humans to allocate scarce resources effectively. No one person could see the whole market so “the hand” did the work.
That blind system has grown an eye.
I’ll call it the sentient hand. Algorithmic orchestration that knows each of us better than we know ourselves and can shape our behaviors beyond our ability to control.
What has it done with this new found superpower? The most powerful economic engine in this part of the galaxy pointed itself at harnessing people to death; becoming apex predators. The system got smarter and chose violence. An intelligent system literally eating itself alive.
The sentient hand has kept humans in low-level dopamine loops creating devastating addiction, mood disorders, self-hatred, societal acrimony and poisoned the well of hope.
In old capitalism, you could externalize the cost of death. You could addict a generation to fast food, junk food and added sugar and call it growth. The data out and scientific understanding was too slow to point a finger. Now the sentient hand makes data the evidence. You can measure in biomarkers whether a given thing adds vibrancy or decay.
Old capitalism worships symbol collection: money, assets, status. Even if it means killing someone else for your profit. No matter. Individually, sleep debauchery, stacked pizza boxes, alcohol, nicotine, littered junk food wrappers and energy drinks ftw. Distorting judgment and killing clear-headed thinking. Weirdly this has been adopted as the success playbook even though it’s contrary to all scientific evidence on human performance.
Old capitalism sold us the story that life is short, pleasure now is rational and self-destruction is freedom. That’s what the sentient hand has exploited.
The new currency is biological vibrancy.
We humans need to accelerate our evolution. AI will increasingly automate lower level tasks (i.e. autonomous cars, coding, health) inviting us to climb the ladder of abstraction. We can let go and reach up.
Here is the invitation:
0. point your company’s objectives at the human race thriving
1. brainstorm ways your product or service can improve human flourishing
2. quantify the results whether it be in human biology, societal health, politics, nationstates, environmental, civilizational alignment, etc.
3. deploy, observe, improve, repeat
That's a great question to ask. Would love to look into the data on this topic more.
Practices to look at as a start:
Focused-attention meditation (e.g., breath-focused)
Open-monitoring / non-judgmental awareness
Flow-inducing activities (deep engagement in work/play)
Regular aerobic exercise (moderate–vigorous)
Breathwork to stabilize attention and calm arousal
Low-stimulus / sensory-reduced environments combined with practice
Decentering / cognitive reframing (e.g., structured journaling)
Compassion / loving-kindness (prosocial/other-focused practice)
Supportive lifestyle patterns (sleep, reduced social media, protected deep-work time)
@bryan_johnson Sounds like you had a great trip! This afterglow resonates 🍄
Curious to hear how well you can maintain this state of mind over the long term, that's the 🗝️ I think! Still working this out myself 🤯
@RichardHeartWin How about ProveIt! ??
It's an action phrase that could catch on like the Nike 'Just Do It' slogan did.
Very interesting idea. Lots of potential here!
The MrProve token only becomes more rare, it never inflates, it only burns. MrProve is automatically bought and burnt every time someone uses PrivateProver tech. The first industry MrProve is disrupting is cryptocurrency exchanges. Crypto was invented to remove middlemen. Exchanges are just middlemen that get between a buyers bank account and a sellers crypto wallet.
MrProve replaces the exchanges using PrivateProver tech. Buyers & sellers install a browser extension which issues proofs. Buyers prove they paid the seller from their bank or fintech. Sellers prove they sent the coins to the buyers wallet. Sellers get money, buyers get coins. Goodbye middlemen. Hello coin burning.
The market might think 1% is fair split, where a buyer and seller might both accept a trade at 0.5% under market. The market will decide what it thinks is fair. We've seen repeatedly that users in general are happy to pay near 1% in swap fees from the built into crypto wallet swaps. And that's with infinite cheaper competition. I'd never pay that, but they love it. This is a brand new paradigm, with nearly no competition!
Using PrivateProver tech to replace middlemen is ground breaking and can revolutionize all kinds of industries. Almost no one even knows it's possible. It's the birth of a new paradigm of disintermediation.
Why this will win (and keep winning)
• Exchange-killer UX: instant, private, non-custodial settlement that feels simpler than a wire.
• Composability moat: once wallets/dApps integrate the rail, flows compound across use cases.
• Multi-vertical demand: finance, identity, commerce, DePIN, enterprise—many independent engines burning the same fixed supply.
• Credible neutrality: proofs are math; settlement is code. No favorites, no listings, no freeze button
MrProve's PrivateProver tech lets two parties settle anything of value—fiat <-> crypto swaps, identity checks, reputation, tickets, domains—without trusting an exchange or escrow. Proofs say “this happened”; math releases funds. Every successful use burns a fixed-supply token, turning adoption into engineered scarcity.
Check out the potential:
Fastest and easiest
• Crypto on/off-ramps & CEXes – trustless P2P settlement replaces exchange custody/fees. Burn per swap proof.
• P2P escrow/marketplaces (tickets, domains, collectibles) – prove control → instant release; no marketplace middleman. Burn per sale/transfer proof.
• Payments & remittances – private, instant cross-border settlement without bank rails. Burn per payment proof.
• Enterprise verification & HR/background checks – employment/education/income attestations with selective disclosure. Burn per verification.
• Identity / age-gating / KYC-lite (RegTech) – prove “over 18”, “not on list”, “account ownership” without data dumps. Burn per check.
Mid-term
• E-commerce reputation portability – export seller metrics/ratings to any platform. Burn per credential export/verify.
• Ticketing & memberships – fraud-proof primary/secondary sales; instant, private transfers. Burn per issuance/transfer proof.
• Insurance & claims – verify qualifying events (receipts, flight delays) → auto-payout. Burn per claim proof.
• DePIN verification (energy, rides, bandwidth) – attest real-world output from provider portals; no special hardware. Burn per metered event.
• Longer-horizon (18+ months, high upside)
• Supply chain & trade finance – milestone proofs (ship, custody, compliance) unlock capital. Burn per milestone proof.
• Real-world assets (RWA) & real estate – registry/control proofs + escrowed settlement. Burn per asset transfer.
• Healthcare & life sciences – credentialing, coverage eligibility, clinical data attestations. Burn per attestation.
• Education & professional licensing – diploma/license proofs, proctoring attestations. Burn per issuance/verify.
• Public sector & benefits – eligibility/permit proofs without mass data retention. Burn per case.
• Advertising & data markets – private audience/attribute matching (no raw data). Burn per match/proof.
• Legal & e-notary – private fact witnessing, timestamped proof of possession. Burn per notarization.
• B2B API/compliance – SLA, provenance, and policy conformance proofs. Burn per API proof.
• Gaming & digital items – achievement/ownership proofs; anti-bot entitlements. Burn per entitlement.
• Carbon/ESG – measured-at-source proofs for issuance/retirement. Burn per issuance/retire proof.
• Biggest immediate wins: on/off-ramps, P2P escrow for tickets/domains, enterprise verifications, and identity/age checks—each has clear UX pain today and fast, visible burn cadence.
TLDR; Blockchains solved double spends with mining and validating. They onramped new users with coins. MrProve and PrivateProver tech amplifies blockchains utility, by removing the middleman that make crypto so hard. Then it can disrupt and disintermediate so many other industries. Every use of the protocol creating more and more scarcity! Buying and burning from the public market, MrProve, a token that can never inflate, only become more scarce.
MrProve amplifies the blockchain and transcends it.
I have a feeling this the MrProve coin will be given away for free to a "sacrifice set" created by people sacrificing to prove they "believe in the removal of middlemen and replacing trust with proof." I can't wait to see more details when the website goes live, hopefully within 24 hours.
As usual, you must have no expectation of profit from the work of others. This is just software you can chose to run or not. Without you running it, it's just text that sits there, like a book on a shelf. You are the network! You are the future!
Let me know who you think got closest to actually guessing it, 1st 2nd and 3rd. Because I'm not sure anyone actually did. That's how innovative this is.
Go and claim your HEX for base
Good things come to those that wait. I still believe $TEAM will show this. While $HEX has been slow to appreciate over the last few years, the code and fundamentals behind these smart contracts remain solid and continue to inspire me to hold strong ⚔️
TEAM rewards claiming page is live! https://t.co/o4irqmm0HG
Maximus base 1 year stake ends today on Pulsechain once the utc day ticks over. This means the team year 3 period ends, with the larger yield payout yet since it earned from base, TRIO, and the first installment of the 369 Maxi Rebate
