For record purposes, this screenshot was taken on May 8th, when I was eagerly anticipating the mint.
As you can see… 94 DAYS to mint.
Which project does that?
That alone tells you how intentional Trystan has been with @TrustUsNFT
He didn’t just rush to mint.
He took the time to make sure everything was properly set in place, the art, the ecosystem, the experience, and everything the CT would need.
And now we’re here.
11 days to mint.
From 94 days to mint of Pepes Explorer to 11 days to mint for TrustUS
The patience was worth it.
TRUST US. 🐸🫡
On a cool day in September 2025, @TrystanNFT decided to launch his own NFT collection, Pepecat Legends.
2,888 hand drawn Pepecats, packed with accessories, 1/1s and a community that actually cared.
WL was $5, public $11, and it became the first step in what would turn into a pretty interesting run.
Then came Pepe Explorers in June 2026.
10,000 supply
WL at $3
Public around $4.39
Sold out within 1 minutes minutes.
But the crazy part? 900+ accessories. On a 10k collection.
That alone tells you the amount of work going into the art.
The team later introduced Evolve, giving holders another way to burn and customise their pieces. And even after the usual post-mint cooldown, the collection has held up with a ~$7–8 floor, ~1,974 unique owners and ~$289k volume.
Now we’re at chapter 3.
@TrustUsNFT 4,444 NFTs.
And this time, Trystan is literally asking you to trust him.
No art.
No traits.
No lore.
No universe.
Everything stays hidden until 2 hours after the final mint.
Same team. Same hand-drawn energy. Just a much bigger mystery.
From Pepecat Legends → Pepe Explorers → Trust Us.
At this point, the track record speaks for itself.
So yeah…
I guess we’ll just have to Trust Us. 👀
Imagine being a kid who loves inventing things, building stuff with friends, and experimenting with 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, without knowing exactly where those interests would eventually lead you.
You grow up wanting to become a 𝗖𝗘𝗢 not just to run a company, but to bring the technology of tomorrow into the world today.
Then you discover 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 with the potential to shape the future:
→AI,
→Blockchain,
→and virtual reality.
You could have chosen any of them, but blockchain caught your attention for something deeper than the technology itself. It was the idea of financial freedom.
That curiosity eventually led to the creation of @cryptoquant_com.
And this is the part of @ki_young_ju 's story I find interesting.
The same curiosity that made him want to build things as a child eventually found a direction in an industry that was still developing. He didn't just want to observe technological change; he wanted to contribute to it.
Today, people follow his charts to understand what is happening in the crypto market. But behind those charts is a person who became interested in building long before the market knew his name.
There's a lesson in that.
Sometimes, the things you enjoy doing before you even understand their value are quietly developing the skills and mindset you'll need later in life.
You don't always see the destination when you start building. You just keep exploring, learning, experimenting, and following the questions that interest you.
Years later, those little experiments might become something that changes how people understand an entire industry.
The future doesn't always begin with a grand idea. Sometimes, it begins with a curious kid who refuses to stop building.

500k people follow Ki Young Ju's charts. Here’s how he actually reads them.
@ki_young_ju, founder of @cryptoquant_com , for Blockchain 100. Key takeaways:
1. A chart tells you what, never why
He left technical analysis because the price can’t explain itself, and real alpha is seeing what drives a decision before it reaches the chart.
2. Imagine seeing every bank transaction in the world
That’s how he described on-chain data to me. All of it is public, and reading it is the hard part.
3. Manipulation has a signature
A large deposit from a founder or market maker, then a price spike as they sell into it, and the price never recovers from there.
4. He grades analysts on three things
Whether they admit being wrong, whether they bring evidence, and what he calls a clown score, meaning attention-seeking posts versus actual insight.
5. A wrong call isn’t wrong data
He called the cycle over in 2025 and said so publicly when it didn’t play out, because the read can be wrong while the data still holds.
6. His next model reads words, not wallets
An LLM scores what top analysts are posting, so instead of only seeing what money did, you see what people believe.
7. He barely trades
Mostly hedges, and his own approach is spot and DCA, because that’s the best odds if you’re not calculating them yourself.
8. Have principles
Decide yours, live by them.
