We are excited to announce that we have completed our 1st forward-flow loan sale of $8.5M with @3janexyz, a cryptonative credit protocol. This is the 1st phase of a broader $50M program and one of the 1st whole-loan purchases of a U.S. fintech loan book by a DeFi protocol.
If you can't make it to Roatรกn in September, ZuCity Japan is also putting together a special gathering. They've been renovating spaces in rural Japan, seeding a new community. Now, they're inviting you to go check it out!
This sounds amazing and looking forward to be there!
Haven't been in JP for 15 years and this will be a great reason to come back.
What @KibaGateaux cooked up here also gets really close of what I hope the future of networked nations will be built upon: Autonomous clusters of neighbourhoods.
Its been amazing to watch the progress of ZuCity Japan from our first house to now 3 houses and a venue space on the main road in our town.
We are excited to announce this years popup and invite yall to come experience the community for yourself for a month
3Jane began as a credit-based money market extending lines of credit to cryptonatives.
Today we're evolving into programmable credit facilities via warehouse loans & forward-flows to power the next generation of fintech originators across a $100B opportunity.

Taking pride in everything you do is a practice that permeates Japanese culture.
Whether cleaning trains, cooking an omelette, or delivering mail, being a shokunin means you dedicate your life and purpose to the craft and being a forever-apprentice.
Japanese mental models offer simple, deep, and zen-like approaches for how to approach (a) work related philosophies like kaizen and mura-muda-muri (b) life philosophies such as ikigai, ichi-go ichi-e (c) and spiritual philosophies from shinto-buddhism such as magokoro (pure heart) where individuals believe that by-default all humans are born with good intentions and in part describes their high-trust society.
Although I am not a traditional person by most definitions, I truly believe society as a whole would improve if we adopted some of their cultural norms.
The Precog Launchpad is live.
A new class of market creators, both human and agentic, is emerging. They shape the information landscape by deploying questions that matter and putting capital behind clarity.
The questions we ask determine the futures we build.
