One month. Two people. Here's the story 👇
@pubity Sounds like that study on rural undercounting. They say grid methods miss a ton of people in remote areas, but jumping to 10 billion feels like a stretch.
My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):
I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow
We're raising our pre-seed. Here's the honest version of where we are and what we're building.
The ask: $500K pre-seed.
The problem we're solving: less than 2% of stablecoin supply touches real commerce. Not because the rails are bad. Because the billing engine, settlement routing, and reconciliation infrastructure above the rails hasn't been built. We're building it.
The product: Ribbit is the settlement engine for onchain commerce. Pull payments (automated billing without per-transaction signing), Yield-to-Pay (savings yield funds subscriptions automatically), flexible settlement (merchants configure any token or split ratio), POS + online from one network, sub-second finality, no chargebacks.
The traction: True pull payments demo live and working. 4-5 merchant MOUs in progress. Merchant onboarding beginning now.
The team: Ex-Paytm (400M+ users), Ex-Verifone (scaled B2B POS systems), 14+ years in consumer fintech, product, design, and backend infrastructure. We've built at scale before.
The timing: GENIUS Act regulatory clarity. Visa, Stripe, Mastercard all repositioning around stablecoin orchestration. The window is open.
The use of funds: 45% engineering and Move developers, 25% infrastructure and security, 20% MOU-to-pilot conversion, 10% GTM and BD.
We're not asking for a leap of faith. We're asking for capital to convert working technology and signed merchant intent into a live product.
If you're an investor building a position in stablecoin infrastructure, payment orchestration, or onchain commerce. we should talk. DMs open.
Today we're introducing TRIBE v2 (Trimodal Brain Encoder), a foundation model trained to predict how the human brain responds to almost any sight or sound.
Building on our Algonauts 2025 award-winning architecture, TRIBE v2 draws on 500+ hours of fMRI recordings from 700+ people to create a digital twin of neural activity and enable zero-shot predictions for new subjects, languages, and tasks.

Visa settling $3.5B annualized in USDC is a bigger deal than the crypto press made it.
Here's what actually happened: Visa launched USDC settlement for U.S. issuer and acquirer partners in December 2025. For the first time, banks settling with Visa can do it in USDC on a public blockchain. 7-day availability, no weekend closures, faster funds movement than traditional settlement windows.
The crypto press covered it as "Visa goes crypto." That's the wrong frame.
What Visa actually did: they took the most trusted payment network in the world, with relationships across thousands of financial institutions, and wired stablecoin settlement into their existing infrastructure.
They didn't replace their network with a blockchain. They added a stablecoin settlement rail to a network that already has universal merchant acceptance and consumer trust. That's harder than building a new network, and it's more valuable.
The implication for everyone else in payments: if Visa is settling in USDC, then USDC is now settlement-grade infrastructure. The "institutional adoption" milestone isn't coming. it happened.
Now the question shifts. If settlement is solved, what's left? Billing logic, merchant configuration, reconciliation, and the automation layer that makes it run without a blockchain team on payroll.
The rails are institutional. The application layer above them is wide open. That's where the next decade of fintech gets built.
@sahilypatel hey, no, i’m not accusing you of lying or anything. Just found pages posting raw promotional video with no caption/added commentary a little strange.
Good work if all organic :)
