93% of technical execs we surveyed are alarmed about vibe-coded apps in their orgs.

Today we’re shipping the biggest update in @retool's history. One governed runtime for all of it.

@volotea My son's bag was delayed for the duration of our trip and retrieved on the return flight. As we were on a boat for the full trip and he had nothing, we needed to purchase essentials - 1 pair of swim shorts, 1 tshirt, 1 sandals. This exceeds the small, per day allotted amount which would not even cover one of the above items. It is unreasonable to suggest that he should not have any suitable clothing for the entire vacation. Volotea has proposed compensation in the amount of 120 Euros and a 180 Euro travel travel credit (which we have no ability to use). I would hereby request - and have done so several times - that the total amount be combined and paid in Euros.

What a wild couple of weeks since joining OpenSea.

I wish you all could see inside the walls. The team is ridiculous. The energy and passion internally at OS is contagious. The speed at which things are being built and iterated on is beyond anything I’ve experienced in my career. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this motivated and excited.

I read the daily comments and Discord messages. First, I want to simply say thank you. Your candid feedback is important and appreciated. And I know you all have questions about the token, how the Foundation is looking at retro activity, our rewards approach and more. When I joined, I posted about the importance of communication and transparency. So in the interest of that, let me share a few things with you:

OpenSea is evolving from an NFT marketplace to the best destination to discover, own and trade on-chain. OS2 is just the canvas. The masterpiece comes next—more chains, mobile, deeper features, and innovations that will redefine what you expect from us.

Web3 doesn't need another rushed, ill-conceived token launch. The Foundation is obsessed with getting it right—from utility to distribution to timing. This will be a watershed moment not just for OpenSea but for web3 as a whole. $SEA is being designed thoughtfully with the long term in mind, not as a memecoin to be farmed and forgotten.

I’ve confirmed with the Foundation that past history will of course be rewarded. This will happen at TGE and users will receive an allocation of $SEA. This is separate from XP in OpenSea’s rewards program, which is about incentivization to explore OS2 moving forward. If you’re a long-term user of OpenSea, we see you.

Speaking to XP specifically, we’ve decided after talking deeply with the community that liquidity leaderboards will not be coming back. They drove substantial volume to OpenSea, but weren't creating healthy activity and we paused them swiftly. In their place, we've built a robust system that rewards natural engagement with OS2 over pure volume.

• The new program is launching soon.
• Wallet size won’t determine your opportunity.
• We’re taking meaningful steps to ensure that real users are rewarded, not bots.
• This rewards system will become foundational for what comes next.

I genuinely believe that OpenSea has the best team, product, and opportunity in crypto. I’m privileged to be able to play a small role in its success.

Sails up 🌊

@NadavAHollander Amazing work @NadavAHollander.

[nadav @NadavAHollander]

a year ago, we smashed the reset button on our culture and rebuilt the product from the ground up. we set our sights on building not just the best NFT marketplace, but the best product in crypto, full-stop.

a sleek, seamless, and snappy pane of glass for discovering, trading, collecting, and managing assets fungible and non-fungible alike.

a standard bearer for chain-abstracted experiences in a many chain future.

a web3 product that aspires to live up to the standards of the best web2 products like @Linear @Vercel and others.

it was probably the hardest challenge i've had as a product leader and pushed me and my team past every limit we thought we had.

immensely proud to see it go live today — if you've been in our Discord, you know the team has been working 24/7/365, holidays and weekends included.

and it's just day 1.

if you're an engineer or designer looking to raise the bar, we're hiring. gm.

@BBCTimWillcox please apologize on air and explain that the killing of Jews is pure anti-semitism and not justified, ever.

@chrishomer Still looking for a response to this. This is exactly what has happened for about a month. No response or action.

[MBlank @mlpblank]

@chrishomer the email is entitled "Re: Sorry for the Delay with Bag #281931"

[MBlank @mlpblank]

@chrishomer Thank you! How do I email you? I can't find any address through your website. I have no ticket #, just correspondence with CE.

[MBlank @mlpblank]

@chrishomer having some serious customer service issues. No response from CS for two weeks and now I'm told it's too late. Very frustrated.
