The silence is over.
I’ve been quiet on social. Not because the mission behind Wink got smaller, but because the work got bigger. And it’s time to get loud again.
I started Wink, aka 'OnlyFans on Solana' over 4 years ago because I believed creators deserved better monetization rails and I still believe that even more today. Built on Solana, Wink exists to solve a real problem through web3, not just participate in another short-term hype cycle.
The internet made it possible for creators to earn from anywhere. But the moment real money starts moving, too many creators are still forced back into legacy systems that can freeze payouts, abuse chargebacks, impose arbitrary restrictions, or shut people out entirely based on someone else’s idea of what should or shouldn’t be allowed.
That is not a free creator economy.
And while I’ve been quiet publicly, the business has not been standing still. Creators on Wink have already earned over $4M collectively. That’s not theory. That’s not a pitch deck. That’s real usage, real demand, and a real signal that this problem matters.
I built Wink because I believe creators deserve faster, more resilient, internet-native monetization rails like Solana that don’t leave their livelihoods at the mercy of outdated institutions.
Crypto should improve broken systems, not just speculate around them.
We’re still early. We still have a lot to build. But the direction is clear. The creator economy needs better infrastructure, and Wink is here to help build it.
This next chapter is about more visibility, more momentum, and a lot more storytelling around what we’re creating. Starting with referral links with profit sharing. It’s already live internally. No more announcements of announcements. We’ll ship, then announce the launch with our creator partners soon.
If you’re a creator, a user, or someone who believes the internet should give people more control over how they earn — pay attention.
We’re just getting started.
A girl banned by her banks can only make money on Wink through crypto settlement. Many such cases
(Legally, no Epstein stuff here)
Crypto future is not lessened, it's more defined. And yes - it's on Solana.
0/ A personal update
I have decided to step back from @multicoin. It's a bittersweet moment for me because my time at Multicoin has been some of the most meaningful and rewarding of my life. That said, I am excited to take some time off and explore new areas of technology.
After nearly a decade in crypto, I’m more confident than ever that crypto is going to fundamentally rewire the circuitry of finance. I believe the Clarity Act will unlock a tidal wave of new entrants and spur adoption unlike anything we’ve seen. I remain bullish on crypto, specifically Solana, and intend to continue making personal investments in the space and supporting Multicoin portfolio companies. Moreover, I will continue to serve on the board of @zama, and I will continue in my role as Chairman at Forward Industries (@FWDind). More on Forward in next tweet.
It goes without saying that I also remain bullish on Multicoin. My partners @tushar_jain, Brian Smith, @johnrobertreed, @mattshap1, @xethalis, @SpencerApplebau, and @shayonsengupta are some of the best investors and operators in the world. I am excited for them to continue to drive the crypto ecosystem and Multicoin forward for many years to come.
To all of our portfolio founders, LPs, and industry partners—thank you for the opportunity to work with you.
For reference, here is the letter we shared with LPs today

"I'll wait for the next bull market"
Brother there are 100+ companies building real products RIGHT NOW
The builders and shippers are still in a bull market.
You're just not paying attention.
The rotation to real products and builders will be glorious
Happy 2026.
Another year of Wink and we are continuing our path to $1B, beating OF, and bringing the creator economy to Solana.

The Wink platform only gets better everyday. Good things take time. we learn, grow, and are here to stay. Huge launch coming soon, all in the previously announced roadmap and more. Stay tuned.
just took a month long break from Twitter, glad to be back.
Been thinking about what I really want to get out of this platform. To be honest as a founder, there is a constant pressure that all my tweets have to be pushing my startup's narrative and it took some fun away from being here. I love talking about creators, web3 and such but I miss just connecting with people and talk shit like on other socials.
Wink / Only1 is why most are following me, i will keep talking about our goals and progress but will be sharing more personal and random stuff from now.
Regarding Wink - we have a lot of features and updates that are ready but decided to postpone launching due to earlier market conditions. Better ways to let creators earn, payment integration, social farming, gachas, new creator management partnerships and so much more. Just stay tuned!
