Geist is an excellent font - and the one we use in @perpltrade - so I am genuinely excited by this.
There's something to be said for the iconic symbolism of the zodiac. It's a visual language designed to last forever. I find it endlessly fascinating.
The largest heist - of any kind - ever. Not just the biggest crypto hack.
BREAKING: Binance has been hacked with wallets across the Ethereum, Bitcoin, and TRON networks seeing outflows of -$5.7 billion.
The hack includes $1.45 billion worth of Bitcoin and $875 million worth of ETH.
If confirmed, this would mark the biggest hack in crypto history.
We expect more information shortly.

Copycat perp DEXes can't ever succeed long-term
3 models that have worked so far:
• app-chain: hype/lit -> liquidity maxxing
• off-chain: aster -> ux maxxing
• rfq: var -> listings maxxing
Competing against these incumbents on their terms is a losing game
My bet is that the next and final part of the perps meta is building for composability
A perp dex that can atomically compose with all DeFi and create new traders, new yield that simply weren't possible any time before
That is a unique unlock we have never seen in action before
Only 2 projects are delivering this:
- Perpl -> EVM
- Phoenix -> SVM
The difference is that Perpl has the ability to compose with the entire EVM, which is a larger TAM, and offers an on-chain matching engine that is not possible on the SVM
Long Innovation
Significantly improved mobile experience now live on @perpltrade
Been a long time coming tbh, but it's looking good. Sticky buttons at the bottom, and card-based tables are both huge upgrades for mobile UI – much easier on the thumbs!
Interesting that @linear is now pitching itself as "development system for agents" - most of my tickets are now written by, and for, my agents.
Instead of an endless mess of conversations, I have agents working through tasks, recording their progress, and handing off to others.
Under-rated AI<>design process is generating early UX artefacts. We all got blown away by one-shot UIs and automated component libraries that we forgot about user flows, journeys and heuristics. Claude is VERY good at these things, and they make everything else better.
