Have been thinking constantly about Frank Slootman's formula for building a successful company:

been cool using @arena_exchange for onchain limit orders, powered by email login and MPC
sets a new precedent for onchain UX (no signing modals) and proves that you don't need your keys in a telegram bot db to do limit orders
