This summer I spent time in Crete — in Heraklion and in small surrounding villages.
I spoke with dozens of locals about crypto, blockchain, and their real-life experiences.
What I learned was eye-opening: awareness is high, scars are deep, and the demand for trust is universal. 🧵
@0xmaku@concero_io I could do that, but as you understand it's really not convenient to play around with seed phrases, I'd rather take the 4$ hit than risk that. If we're being honest, it's Superboard's obligation to have solid implementation of such checks.
@concero_io Essentially, connecting Phantom to superboard has me set to the SOLANA network and it won't let me pick the ETH/BASE address in order to check for the NFT Pass.
@rorypiant@chainlink That’s amazing Rory! Huge congrats! I remember like yesterday when you first got your verified role in that first fan-made Chainlink discord 😁
I spent 2 hours today in 23° F (-5° C) onboarding as many people as possible in Boston to cryptocurrency.
I gave away ~$225 in Ethereum using:
- ZKSync Era's Clave (AA Wallet)
- onchaingift / Coinbase Wallet / Base L2
All while learning how much Boston knows about crypto. 👇
Chainlink Build's project @bitsCrunch is now listed on Chainlink Build's project @xswap_link
That's the power of a great ecosystem!

I think the technical term to describe this situation is "now we're cooking with gas"
I wonder what happens when the world's largest financial institutions decide to go on-chain because being on-chain becomes a "national priority".
Seems likely they will need a secure and reliable way to utilize various kinds of data on-chain to build their financial products. I can also see them needing a reliable way to interconnect all their chains to transact in a secure, compliant and efficient manner accepted by regulators. Something like what TCP/IP does for the internet, but built to handle cross-chain transactions and able to work for institutional systems/use cases.
It might also be nice if they had a simple development environment from which to manage all this complexity, something like a runtime environment that makes it easy to rebuild all their existing financial products and transactional flows on-chain. If that development environment was already integrated with their existing standards like Swift and their existing CSDs like DTCC, that would make it a lot simpler for them. If only there was a single platform where they could get all of these key building blocks to work together in a secure way...
Exciting times ahead.
