A clarification

When I posted my resignation, I intended that to be my only public statement.

Since then, I’ve seen comments assuming that, because I held the title of “co-founder,” my role was the same as the other co-founders.

I completely understand why people would make that assumption. If I were on the outside looking in, I probably would too.

I’d like to clarify what my role was.

I joined the project years after it began, shortly before its rebranding to Xenea, to serve as co-founder for its next chapter.

My role was focused on branding, long-term strategy, partnerships, and international representation.

The discontinuation of XENEA Wallet, for example, was announced on the same day as my resignation. I first became aware of it through that public announcement.

Until recently, I believed I had the information necessary to fulfill my role.

As I wrote in my resignation post: “More recently, I came to understand that I hadn’t had the full picture while serving in this role. After reflecting on that, I decided it was time to step away.”

I can’t speak on behalf of the project, and I don’t believe it would be appropriate to comment on matters beyond my own knowledge or responsibility.

My intention in writing this is simply to ensure that my role and experience are understood accurately.

[Yuma @ymtnmt]

It’s been a while.

After careful reflection, I’ve decided to step away from Xenea.

I’ve long been fascinated by the moments when civilization outgrows the systems that once enabled it.

For thousands of years, every major leap has been enabled by a new way of preserving knowledge. I believed AI and asset tokenization would demand another leap, and that belief was what first drew me to this project.

I joined the project shortly before its rebranding to Xenea, taking on the role of co-founder as part of its next chapter. Over the past few years, I helped shape its long-term strategy, build partnerships, and represent the project around the world. It was one of the most unique and formative experiences of my life.

More recently, I came to understand that I hadn’t had the full picture while serving in this role. After reflecting on that, I decided it was time to step away.

Looking back, what I’ll carry with me isn’t the title. It’s the people. The conversations and relationships built along the way have meant far more to me than any position ever could.

To everyone I met along the way, thank you.

And I’ll direct my team to be more transparent about the progress

Flying to Doha, Qatar for the country’s first AI summit that I got invited to after winning the pitch at GITEX.
I know you guys are tired of waiting for the mainnet, TGE, and everything, but let me try my best to maximize the outcome so the wait is worthwhile.

And he looks so much younger than he is!!!!!

[Yuma @ymtnmt]

During the Hub71 × JETRO program I met @getoutofhome, someone who became a mentor far beyond the program itself.
His advice meant a lot to me as a co-founder, especially about how to lead with clarity when things are uncertain….

Seeing him now build @StratiumX is inspiring. It’s creating the structured-finance layer where new markets like volatility trackers and yield baskets can emerge with real onchain transparency.
Grateful to have learned from someone who keeps turning ideas into action.

So, it seems like I have a bunch of DMs waiting for me. Thanks for being patient I’ll get back to you all soon.

[Yuma @ymtnmt]

Just wrapped up an intensive program hosted by @hub71ad and @JETRO_InvestJP for emerging Web3 startup founders from Japan.

Not sure if it’s public yet or if it ever will be, but I’m proud to share that I won the Hub71 x JETRO Pitch at @expandnorthstar out of the seven founders selected. It was an incredible experience that opened up new opportunities in the region.

Huge thanks to everyone who made it happen. Now in transit at Doha Airport, but I’ll be back in a week for their first AI Summit that I got invited to after winning the pitch.

Been stuck with a few serious tasks. Sorry for being MIA here🙏

@Hayatu8382 Exactly

[Yuma @ymtnmt]

On Thursday, I had the honor of delivering my keynote at #DePINExpo in Hong Kong.

What struck me most was the energy of the DePIN community here. Builders, researchers, and visionaries all moving with purpose. The conversations were not just about infrastructure, but about how we can reshape the way data, compute, and connectivity are distributed across the world.

I came away inspired by the great minds I met, people who aren’t only thinking about protocols and hardware, but about new models of collaboration, sustainability, and ownership. These are exactly the types of partnerships that will define the next era of decentralized infrastructure.

Hong Kong proved itself once again as a vibrant hub for DePIN, where ideas spark quickly and execution follows. I’m excited for the paths we’ve opened together and the impact this ecosystem will make globally.

@CryptoDCO @ExpoDePIN Hey Declan you’re talking about wallet connect right? We’ll update the whitelist format to use only referral links to simplify things for everyone. You won’t need to worry about the WalletConnect issue.

[Yuma @ymtnmt]

Done with WebX and now off to Hong Kong for @ExpoDePIN find me there and I’ll buy you a coffee.

[Yuma @ymtnmt]

@stephenta100M Not sure yet. Will you?

[Yuma @ymtnmt]

@rlacumba @Everlyn_ai This one’s super exciting right?

[Yuma @ymtnmt]

I mentioned this idea in my Chain of Thought and have been working on it since.
Now that the partnership with @Everlyn_ai is official, we’re one step closer to scaling what we’ve been building: bringing generative AI into our ecosystem, and directly into XENEA Wallet.
It’s not about features for the sake of hype. This is the beginning of a new chapter in distribution and empowerment.
