What was your “welcome to crypto” moment that wasn’t about price?
We’ll go first:
“Wait… I have to pay gas to pay… gas?”
The UX chaos is real.
What got you? 👇
Serious question:
@JoshuaTobkin just put $1M of his own $SUPRA where his mouth is.
"Beat our EVM parallel execution speed. Take my money."
So... are you:
A) Taking the challenge
B) Admitting he's right

Hi CZ, we met in Taiwan a few years ago. You probably don't remember me or @JonEvansJones, but I'd like to start by saying I think what you have done for the industry is actually underappreciated.
But I also think the Binance listing process needs a bit of a makeover.
For example, I know you're a huge science geek and supporter. Yet, @SUPRA_Labs can't get listed even after talking to folks for years now -- we're literally one of the best, pioneering Web3 Computer Science teams in the world!
The proof is that we're accepted to many of the top computer science venues globally, such as the #1 in the world, ACM CCS 2025 (we've been accepted multiple times).
We have the fastest EVM parallel execution algo in the world , we have the most performant DAG design in the world (https://t.co/6Q0e0v8EfT) and also our Hydrangea Consensus algorithm is likewise the fastest of its type in the world (https://t.co/CjdMY5eLBX).
We were the 3rd Move Lang L1 to ever launch, but the Binance team listed another less technically skilled Move L2 (which now is a L1 apparently) over us, who have, to be frank, only the ability to fork technology... not make it... and it seems like their founders left the project.
As you can imagine, I'm just confused about the due diligence process, how that project could get listed but we couldn't.
Any pointers or suggestions?
We put a majority of our resources into pushing comp sci forward and continue to do so.
If the listing process is about merit, I assure you we have all the fundamentals. If it's about hype, well our DNA is more around proving our ideas than over exaggerating them for hype... but we'll work on that too.
Despite how I personally feel about CEX vs. DEX, which apparently is the same how you feel, our community without any surprises wants a Binance listing.
We'd love to continue to invest all we can to innovate Web3 and push the limits for our industry as a whole. Competition is good!
As a lover and supporter of the sciences too, I hope this message can be seen by folks in your orbit...
As a founder... I can resonate with some of the things being said regarding the listing process lately... Some of us just can't afford the ask though, especially since L1 projects like ours have block rewards that are required for long-term sustainability. The ask, fwiw, was more than founders own...
To my community, the truth remains, projects like ours need more liquidity and exposure, and Binance, like it or not, is still #1 in the world... I know this too.
To @cz_binance , I know you're not in charge of listings and such, but it would be cool if merit for core innovations (like being the best in the world in several protocol designs) could count for more in the decision-making process. In order for us to have innovated what we have... it requires a tremendous amount of focus, energy, and creativity (aka resources). We want to put our resources fully towards those objectives.
As a founder, you know projects need to keep as much of the limited resources they have to continue to give back to Web3, discovering what is possible for decentralized networks.
In short, we can't really afford the amount of tokens asked for from us either. And would love to see how we can move forward through our merits and contributions.
We are one of the most sincere and serious projects in the space. What we've been able to accomplish compared to competitors 4-8X better funded than us is remarkable.
Have a great day!
Blockchain was never supposed to be centralized
Our industry lost the plot when CEX would prefer to list utility-less meme coins FREE over projects that are pioneering award winning computer science shaping the future of crypto— while effectively aiming to charge us millions
So… going back to our roots, cypherpunk roots, is the right move for us all.
Self-custody DEX is the future, we are going to build in that direction and it’ll feel fast like CEX but without any possibly of FTX-like collapse.
How? Through creative computer science and cryptography, fast af consensus algos, and industry leading parallel execution algos.
We will invest millions into this instead of paying gate keepers exorbitant fees. Integration costs, sure np any day, but not millions which appear to get dumped.
It’s a New Era. It’s not a time to lay down and accept the status quo. Our industry lacks courage sometimes and I hope more of you founders can follow your inner calling.
I’ve invested over 8 years full time in our industry already because decentralized technologies are fundamentally good for us all.
Btw, if you think a CEX listing will make all the difference for your project, you’re wrong.
The truth is people want to align themselves with what they resonate with. I rather be polarizing than lukewarm. I rather bring to market better technologies than outdated CEX.
But what about fiat on-ramps Josh? I’m instructing our team to begin seeking to integrate our cryptographically secure https://t.co/lh1NTZmmhA L1-L1 cross chain communication protocol with Circle’s Ark L1, Tether’s Plasma L1, and Stripes’ Tempo L1 as soon as possible.
By 2030, I see DEXs having more volume than CEX. But to get there we have to start now.
Supra is a radical bet on the future of Web3.
“If you don’t believe me or don’t get it, I don’t have time to try to convince you, sorry.”
Supra showed up big at Permissionless IV and AutoFi had the crowd buzzing!
Now we’re headed straight into #Token2049 Singapore 🇸🇬 to spread the word.
The AutoFi era is just warming up, who’s ready to automate DeFi with us?
The SEC's approval of the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund as a spot ETF marks a historic shift, expanding U.S. investor access to a diverse basket of cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, ADA, SUI, LTC, DOT, LINK, AVAX) beyond just Bitcoin futures, which were first approved in 2021
@WhaleChart Nothing major. Trading going to be usual except withdraw n deposit direct from bank, there are so many alternatives for withdrawal and deposits.
