@TrustlessState @Lighter_xyz Crypto exchanges now secure! 🚀 Share your thoughts!

[David Hoffman @TrustlessState]

The @Lighter_xyz thesis is simple

> exchanges are the best business in crypto

> the perp exchange is a brand new category

> a zkL2 is the structurally strongest way to build an exchange. High security, low opex, high margins.

> the technical product is the best on the market. Lowest latency, lowest execution costs, fully transparent.

> engineering team cracked

> US domiciled and compliant, unclaimed territory

> a call option on a compliant tokenization - more RWAs issued onchain is money legos for financial products built on Lighter, serving US capital markets

> Vlad is in the right circles, knows the right people, wants to swing big

@Lighter_xyz has a real shot at competing with the top dogs, Coinbase and Robinhood, as a regular crypto exchange (w/ retail onramps), and also spearheading the US perp financialization market

Beyond that, Lighter has the opportunity to evolve what it means to be financial institution in the US.

Lighter's business logic is encoded in zk circuits. It is non-custodial, fully auditable, provably correct, all secured by Ethereum.

This is what a next-generation financial instruction looks like. Low cost, low headcount, massively scalable, entirely built as code, interoperable with Ethereum.

What I’m curious to see is whether Hashi expands the range of financial products that can be built around Bitcoin.

The infrastructure being assembled around it goes beyond lending alone.

If BTC can remain on Bitcoin while serving as verifiable collateral, I can see entirely new credit, financing and structured products emerging around it over time.

The bigger question isn’t how much BTC comes to @SuiNetwork.

It’s how much financial activity can be built around BTC while it remains on Bitcoin.

Squid is launching a token to enhance global access to capital through blockchain. Built around tokens, it aims to connect users, contributors, and products efficiently. Will this boost crypto adoption? #Crypto #Blockchain #Tokens

[fig @ecdsafu]

By now you’ve probably heard: Squid is launching a token.

TLDR: Why a token? Because Squid is built around tokens. Squid enables global access to the world’s capital, in the simplest and most efficient way, through tokens. It is right for the products, contributors and users of Squid to be aligned through a token too.

The token will enable people who use and believe in Squid to go from being spectators to participants. $QUID unites holders around Squid’s protocols, surrounding products, contributors and brand.

Launching a token is extremely unpopular these days, and has some heavy baggage. Most tokens have been incredibly extractive and misleading. We’ve been here a long time, we’ve seen how inadequate the system has been. It is our mission to do something better. To show what is possible.

As a team we are all in. Squid is something we have spent years carefully building. We do not do this lightly, and have thought extremely carefully about this moment. We love working together and have the long term in mind. This is a large step in a long journey.

Squid has been helping you move tokens from anywhere to anywhere since 2023, and most of our team has been in crypto even longer. We built ourselves as neutral infrastructure committed to access and non-judgment, getting users from one chain to another regardless of what they were moving.

We get tokens. We’ve lived and breathed them for years. Tokens were meant to be so much more than they have been. The onchain world unlocks possibilities that other instruments and markets aren’t able to match.

The traditional criteria for tokens are too narrow. There needs to be room for the many, not the few. The open nature of crypto means there are a multitude of ways to contribute to the success of a crypto company. We believe tokens are uniquely positioned to respect that feature of the ecosystem: from passive bystanders to active participants. From passers-by to believers.

In that sense, the token is the last of crypto's values that has remained pure in its spirit. Whereas private market shares, equities, and futures contracts require enforcement, tokens do not. Tokens can be held by anyone across the globe, and they’re a unique way for users, partners, and the team itself to participate in an ecosystem they are actively contributing to.

If the industry is to realize the vision that permits users to be fully sovereign and self-directed, every aforementioned holder should be able participate within the platform that they use to run their finances.

So how should our token work? Our philosophy is: prioritize simplicity above everything.

We are better together.

Complexity is misleading to holders, and almost always signals extractive behavior or incentives. Instead, we’re taking learnings from TradFi in our design and using the power of onchain assets to bring together every participant in the Squid universe.

Everything Squid has built and represents culminates in this moment. We are proud of what we have built up until now: the IP, the brand, the user base, the partnerships, the technical advances, the strategic relationships, all of it. The token is the natural next step in the journey we’ve been on for years..

In our experience, people appreciate being treated well. Our users have remained loyal because we do not extract from them, and lifetime value compounds because they stick with us in the fullness of time instead of churning quarter to quarter. The person we are building for has restraint, ambition, humility, and a sense of humor.

Meanwhile, the prize we have our eyes on is a central position in the global movement of money.

Tokens are the most promising financial tool on the planet today. Through real-world assets, stablecoins, decentralized stores of value, agentic money, prediction markets, or something yet to be discovered, the onchain world has incredible growth ahead, and very few omnichain decentralized protocols are still standing to support it.

In reality, the ultimate strength of any claim about a token comes from being together.

We (the Squid team) are on the same side as the people who hold the token, and we built it that way on purpose. The team holds the same token as the community, and our incentives are aligned around the ecosystem, not a separate instrument.

We firmly believe our team has the rare blend of deep technical and practical focus, something we consider to be rare not in crypto but in general. Our team has stuck together for years, shares a strong philosophy, and trusts each other through hard decisions.

$QUID exists for you and for us. For everyone who uses and believes in Squid.

AI analysis shows crypto and AI sectors are the only areas with revenue growth amid market declines post World Cup. Bitcoin down 24 percent, fear and greed at 13, but this sector stands out. Will crypto AI innovations lead the next bull run? #Crypto #AI #MarketInsights

[Aztec @aztecnetwork]

On Ethereum, apps build on top of each other in the open.

On Aztec, they can do it privately. Contracts call other contracts, and the call stack itself stays hidden. No one watching the chain learns which app touched which.

[Veera @On_Veera]

What do you do if you need to spend $500 internationally?

Traditional bank: up to $40 in fees. 3-5 days.
Veera Card: 0% forex. Gasless. Instant.

The fees were never necessary. This is what crypto was built for.
