No comes the time to build!

Sad to see this part of the journey end, after grinding for two years, going through multiple different cycles, attention shifting, and fighting to find our PMF. It simply did not happen for us, Thanks to everyone who has supported us!

New things are cookin'

Another day, another MemeFi experiment on Robinhood: @receiptfamily $RECEIPT Scan a receipt, get tokenized stock in the company you just bought from. Buy an iPhone, get $AAPL. A Costco run pays you in $COST. → Camera only, no uploads, no screenshots → AI reads the merchant, matches it to the ticker → 3% back on the free tier, no token needed, $20 cap per receipt → hold 100k $RECEIPT and the cap lifts to $100 → funded by trading fees on the token, buying real shares via a licensed issuer Worth noting that the brands aren't involved, they don't fund it, and they don't know but the idea underneath is really cool and interesting within the MemeFi narrative Most people spend a lifetime funding companies they own none of. This turns a habit that already exists into ownership, no budgeting, no brokerage, no financial literacy course. The free tier is the whole point, no minimum, no balance, 3% back. An on-ramp for people who will never buy a token on purpose. Which can turn into another novel onboarding funnel for web3! honest risk: the rewards are funded by speculation, so the cashback lasts exactly as long as the trading volume does. and delivery is still early. But if it works, retailers build their own version, that's what the experimentation does. It invites people to think outside of the box!

Here's another recent experiment: Robinhood Hat Strategy @rstrosrs Someone built a treasury where the reserve asset is a hat in RuneScape- yes, an in-game HAT $RSTR on the Robinhood chain, paired against ETH. → every trade pays a 1% fee → 70% routes to the token creator → creator converts the ETH into OSRS gold → gold buys Robinhood hats → hats get held, never sold trade the token, fund the hat buys, squeeze the in-game price, generate screenshots, drive more trading. the leaks are obvious. hats still drop from clue scrolls, so supply keeps arriving, and the eth-to-gold hop needs a human. The edge is REACH, look at who this reaches. OSRS has millions of players who already understand order books, buy limits, thin float, and cornering a market; they've been running a live economy since they were twelve; they just never called it DEFI This is one of the most interesting onboarding funnels I've seen. No airdrop farming, no points dashboard. The pitch is "the thing you already trade is going up, here's why." crypto keeps trying to onboard people by explaining wallets. Turns out you onboard them by showing up in the market they already play in. That's the actual experiment.

And here's another experiment, this time the token is paired with a 3x short position of $PONS, which will use profitable exits from the positions to buy back $TAMPONS and burn it... Gotta love STONKS meta, it sure as hell unlocks creativity in people! New DEGEN skills unlocked...

Spent $200 on a meme coin solana:2pouN3by7twkiZGy5aEKYUpf78ALDpKRTNu2WsQkpkqt whose entire premise is a @Bittensor pun, purely as an experiment And the experiment is going well. → $200 in → $523 position → $23 in $TAO already paid out → +171%, day one The mechanic is genuinely clever. Pair your token to an asset people actually want, tax the churn, pay holders in the good asset, the joke funds the bag. But here's the honest split: the tao rewards are ~6% of the gain. the other 94% is just the coin going up. that's not yield; that's beta wearing a costume. I gotta say, being rewarded with one of the leading decentralized AI tokens for holding "BUTT" themed memecoin is delightfully paradoxical! durable? no idea. launch day flatters every number and payouts live and die with the crowd, but that's the experiment. Still, this is the part of crypto I love!

I've been researching nuclear energy for a while, looking for a way to get exposure. Then I saw $NUKE, and it got me thinking. So here's my thesis. Fission is the future of energy. Fusion is the future after that. People trade them as one thing. They're not. Fusion is a physics program. Fission microreactors are a licensing and logistics program. Different decades, different risks. But they aren't unrelated. Every reactor licensed, every HALEU supply chain built, every regulator that learns to move faster on advanced designs, that's the industrial base fusion inherits. Fission is how the world relearns how to build nuclear at all. $NUKE points at NNE: KRONOS, ZEUS, LOKI, fuel fabrication. Not fusion. But it's exposure to the buildout that makes fusion possible, and that's a more interesting place to sit than most things on a chain right now. I'm long the thesis. Not financial advice.

Quite interesting concept!

So apparently Dan is a straight-up G! Give em hell, man!

Plenty of people are comparing @uponrh to @aeroxyz, and that makes sense. But looking at the growth trajectory, the mechanics, and the fact that RH is a new chain, I see closer parallels with @ShadowOnSonic, with one big difference: Sonic had to build its userbase from scratch. RH Chain already has one, plus distribution and product-market fit. That's one hell of a combo!

Good to see @Wall3_RL land in the @virtuals_io ecosystem this month. Not because it overlaps with what we build, it doesn't. They ship research. We ship execution. Different job entirely. What caught my attention was how they showed up. A live track record going back to 2024, published net of fees, benchmarked against an index, with the sourcing and the caveats attached to the chart instead of buried. In the fund world, that is unremarkable. It is the bare minimum before anyone takes a meeting. Onchain it is still rare enough to be worth pointing at. Most of this sector has spent a year arguing about whose agent is smartest. The more useful argument is whose numbers are checkable, by whom, and how often. Every team that imports real reporting discipline into web3 makes that the standard a little faster. We are building @maicrotrader on the same bet. Institutional rigor, self-custody, and performance you can verify without having to trust us. More of this.

Incredible night at the Base Founders Dinner with @Nibel_eth and @donofbase, great insights on where Base is headed, got to talk about @maicrotrader with some sharp minds in the room. More fired up than ever to be building on @base🔵

How many times @virtuals_io need to prove it's a go-to launchpad for utility? Launchpad mechanics are incredibly complicated and fragile, so when you bet on a "vibe-coded launchpad" built in a couple of days, don't be surprised when you get rekt!

Best time to build 🫡🫡🫡

Your feedback is much appreciated!!! Excited for this next stage!

As someone building within the DeFAI narrative, expecting users to trust AI Agents with their funds, trust is one of the main pillars! And ERC-8126 can be a new standard to establish that trust and bring a new wave of users to DeFAI
