[David // 01.hl 🐲 @reason8eth]

Running our first workshop for the current cohort.

[Cointelegraph Accelerator @CointelegraphAc]

Product-based startups do not scale by convincing everyone; they scale by deeply serving the right first market.

@Starknet Head of Events @angela_s_n and Better Things Product Strategist Aleksandra Kotsalainen will deliver an interactive workshop built around one core principle: great products earn attention, but great PMF earns retention.

- Target audience narrowing
- Psychoanalytics of customers
- Product-market fit clarity
- Feedback & Iteration Loops
- Weakness-to-strength thinking

At @plcapital we believe the GPT moment for robotics is closer than many believe, with innovation in the sector rapidly advancing and we see cryptographic and decentralized primitives as central to this narrative 🧵 1/5

Introducing the Monastery for AI-native founders.

A single builder can now outperform a publicly traded company.

$2 million. 12 weeks. Do the impossible.

Had so much fun at dinner with David & @yuriy_golikov @DevBrotherLabs 🙏🏽

[David // 01.hl 🐲 @reason8eth]

One of our portco’s just levelled up. Moment of proudness 🥰

[Ekiden @ekidenfi]

Ekiden has raised $​2M to bring institutional-grade, high-frequency trading infrastructure on-chain.

Here’s why this matters:

1/ On-chain trading has a large performance problem.

$​800B+ in perpetual futures are traded daily

Less than 1.5% is settled on-chain.

Institutions are ready, but products are not
Ekiden is here to change that.

Builders are accelerating on @injective. ⚡

Cointelegraph Accelerator recently wrapped its 12-week Injective cohort with a Demo Day featuring 8 projects building across AI, RWAs, trading infrastructure, payments, and DeFi.

Hosted by Cointelegraph Accelerator Head David Shengart, founders pitched investors, VCs, mentors, and ecosystem partners after weeks of support across strategy, product, tokenomics, compliance, GTM, fundraising, and community growth.

Meet the cohort:
• @Kustodia_mx — smart contract escrow infrastructure for high-value LATAM P2P transactions
• @ParadyzeFi — AI-powered trader development platform for perpetual futures with behavioral analytics and onchain trading identity
• @HandlPay — social media handles as cross-chain stablecoin payment addresses
• @0xundefined_ — institutional RWA credit curator connecting Asian real-world credit markets with onchain capital
• @realmintio — cross-chain RWA marketplace with a native scoring and discovery layer
• @SvimFinance — AI-powered onchain wealth layer aggregating RWAs, DeFi, and trading strategies
• @projektanimas — AI execution engine for prediction markets and DeFi
• Founder @Lahnshen — building Falq, a unified onchain trading terminal for perpetuals, memecoins, and prediction markets

From tokenized credit and RWA infrastructure to AI-native trading systems and seamless stablecoin payments, the cohort reflects the expanding range of applications emerging on Injective.

A huge thanks to the Injective ecosystem, mentors, advisors, investors, and partners who helped support the program and the founders building through it.

The next generation of Injective builders is already shipping.

[Cointelegraph Accelerator @CointelegraphAc]

The biggest threat to Web3 may not come from within Web3 at all.

Major VCs see sustained high interest rates as one of the top non-crypto risk factors for the crypto market over the next 18 months, followed by geopolitical escalation. Disruption in traditional financial institutions and regulatory uncertainty in the U.S. ranked closely behind.

The signal is clear: web3 is increasingly being shaped by the same external forces influencing the rest of global capital markets.

Founders and investors shall understand that the next cycle will not be defined by technology and innovation alone, but by the ability to operate through macro pressure, policy uncertainty, and global instability.

[Cointelegraph Accelerator @CointelegraphAc]

RWA is up 87% year-on-year, and the next wave of tokenization is already underway.

Hong Kong just approved the world’s first tokenized concert revenue deal.

This expands the RWA playbook beyond traditional assets like real estate and bonds.

Now music royalties, ticket revenue, and entertainment cashflows can go onchain.

[David // 01.hl 🐲 @reason8eth]

@Brent_Fulfer Totally agree here. At the same time folks at @alliance or @OrangeDAOxyz still producing the best observable outcomes for the web3 founders as of now. Even if the model is quite the same of what you described, it is still the unique opportunity to reach maturity faster imho
