[Kyle Zink @kylezink]

Thrilled to officially join @AleoHQ as Chief Marketing Officer.

From day one, it was clear: this team is changing crypto forever - we’re building durable infrastructure for private, programmable money and applications.

The strategy is simple and powerful:
→ Make privacy usable
→ Make stablecoins practical
→ Make wallets seamless

When you combine world-class cryptography with real distribution and product focus, you don’t just launch features...you unlock new markets.

Grateful to Koh, Leena, @1HowardWu, and the entire Aleo and @ProvableHQ Teams for the trust. We’re just getting started. 🚀

[Aleo @AleoHQ]

Aleo is excited to welcome @kylezink as Chief Marketing Officer 👏

Kyle brings deep experience scaling private L1 blockchains, wallets, stablecoins, and will lead communications, product marketing, and go-to-market as Aleo enters its next phase of growth.

When does the Faye and Wayne spin-off come out?

[Kyle Zink @kylezink]

Randomly turned on “Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War” on Amazon Prime.

Clearly one big ad for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Way to sell out @johnkrasinski

First is future proof

Aleo at it again

[Aleo @AleoHQ]

Aleo is the first blockchain to support shielded transactions on @Ledger 🛡️

For years, this gap has been an open problem.

Hardware wallets were originally built for transparent chains, not private execution.

Shielded transactions require generating zero-knowledge proofs over private state, a fundamentally different signing flow.

After working closely with Ledger to adapt their architecture this feature is now live.

Available across 7M+ devices.

Until now, hardware wallets secured keys, but not privacy. This created new risks for large holders by exposing balances and activity.

That tradeoff is gone.

"At Ledger, our foundation is built on uncompromising security. This partnership with Aleo represents a pivotal moment, merging our hardware-based security with their zero-knowledge cryptography."
— @P3b7_, CTO, Ledger

We finally removed the two things that kept private payments niche:

“download this extension”
“don’t lose this seed phrase”

Turns out, privacy doesn’t need more cryptography — it needed less friction.

Dynamic + Aleo = private payments that behave like modern software.

That’s when this gets interesting.

[Aleo @AleoHQ]

Private payments just got a whole lot easier.

@dynamic_xyz, a @FireblocksHQ company, just became the first wallet provider in the world to support private payments through an embedded wallet, enabled by @AleoHQ.

No extensions. No seed phrases. Just login with an email and pay anyone, anywhere privately, available now to all Aleo and Dynamic builders..

Building wallet infrastructure has been a major barrier for mainstream businesses adopting private payment protocols. Dynamic on Aleo solves this.

Teams can now integrate private payments without building infra from scratch.

Enterprise-grade security combined with real privacy.

Jack Dorsey says the reason he admires #Bitcoin so much is that "the creator walked away". 🙌

"They built something that was truly resilient. Part of that resilience comes from being selfless about it and walking away." 💯

After the LA fires, it was impossible to find anyone to insure our home (8 companies contacted, CA State policy was $80K a year for $0.50 on the dollar of coverage).

Luckily we spotted this was a systemic problem and sold our house in 6 days at market value...at that time.

3 homes on our street listed at the exact same time as we did:
1. The nicest home took 12 months to sell and is in contract now for 50% off list
2. Next door neighbor sold 2 months ago for 32% off list
3. Neighbor 2 doors down didn’t receive any offers, and is estimated down 38%

We were VERY lucky to not have the house burn down after evacuating, but the fires are still impacting our neighborhood to this day.

LA’s “Hills” real estate market is in big, big trouble.

[Kyle Zink @kylezink]

Both impressive and thrilling

So proud of @umichbball for their Final Four win and the NCAA National Championship.

Best part? Watching them both in person with my Dad.

Alyssa is an extremely smart, dedicated leader. She’ll be a great addition to PayPayl’s Board

join us for great conversation, tasty food, and a preview of the future of stablecoin payments.

[Mike McCoy @emceecoy_]

@AleoHQ is heading to Digital Asset Summit next week.

What began as small industry meetups in 2018 has evolved into one of the most important gatherings for institutional capital allocators shaping their annual perspective on digital assets.

Credit to @JasonYanowitz and @MikeIppolito_ for building one of the most informed and high-signal communities in the space.

This week, our focus is on understanding how enterprises and institutions are actually deploying crypto infrastructure across:

- Private stablecoin settlement
- Global payroll
- Fund management
- Tokenized money market fund (MMF) payment use cases
…and the broader shift toward private, programmable financial infrastructure.

I’ll be there with @kylezink and the rest of our team throughout the week.

We welcome conversations with anyone thinking seriously about where this market is going and what’s needed to get there.

Warning to those traveling to Grand Cayman - I was one of the unlucky few to contract Dengue Fever from a mosquito bite this year…

Buy repellent. Use it. All over.
