When I first met Charlie, he was 17 and already pushing the frontier of crypto research.
Eight years later, he's helped shape how we think about the infrastructure layer of crypto.
Grateful for everything he's built with us and excited for what's next.

This decision will unleash development opportunities, create new jobs for Alaskans and secure access to strategic minerals. Thank you @POTUS
.@POTUS approves the Ambler Road Project in Alaska — a 211-mile road to Alaska's remote Ambler Mining District: "This is something that should've been long operating and making billions of dollars for our country and supplying a lot of energy and minerals."

Capacity is old thinking.
With AI and data centers, we need to measure capabilities over capacity.
1% flexibility = 15 gigawatts saved in ERCOT.
That’s what researchers at Duke found: if Texas AI data centers flexed just 1% of their hours, it could offset the equivalent of 15 GW of new load.
We keep talking about AI terms of gigawatts and capacity. But we should be focused on gigawatt-hours and capabilities. More energy spread across the year can mean economic growth, re-shoring of American manufacturing, lots of jobs, winning the global race for AGI, AND lower costs for small consumers, if we use energy wisely.
Key takeaways from my conversation with Lynne Kiesling:
⚡ Capacity is old thinking, digital tech enables capabilities
⚡ Demand flexibility is valuable, but we don't have price signals for all forms of flexibility yet
⚡ AI data centers can be part of the solution, not just the problem
The bottom line: AI demand doesn’t have to break the Texas grid. If we build flexibility into the system, it could strengthen it.

Congrats @AdamTSilver! @PluralEnergy is one of the early startups to understand the needs of tokenized RWAs, and go full tilt into solving the problems for issuers and users.
Now they have $300M in renewable assets available through their broker dealer! Their onchain infra (which @NestCredit uses through one of the assets they have in our nALPHA vault) embeds compliance directly into tokenization.
The best part? Users get yield and returns from assets that turn sunshine into money. It's good for the world, and developers (who save 2% on their cost of capital), and good for users.
You guys are an awesome team, I'm excited to continue working with y'all on making more stuff available to Nest vaults!

Proud to back @PluralEnergy as they modernize capital markets for the physical world.
From energy to data centers, infrastructure financing is long overdue for an upgrade. Excited for @AdamTSilver and team to modernize the stack + open up impt asset classes to more investors.

Plural is my go-to example of crypto rails done right: invisible, compliant, and useful. Tokenization makes complex energy assets investable and transparent. Expect them to lead as energy markets modernize.
Big congrats to Adam and the whole team.

So proud of my dear friend @AdamTSilver -- @PluralEnergy is one of those rare companies with a truly ambitious, non-consensus idea. This is amazing news.

Heat waves are tough on power grids. More solar + storage is particularly well suited to meet air conditioning loads reliably and affordably. Unfortunately, PJM and MISO, even though they operate in 28 states, have less solar + storage than Texas alone.

We could've been using another ~7 gigawatts of clean affordable power on a hot summer day but had no productive use for it. Can't emphasize enough how load flexibility & reducing energy waste in the winter could unlock a lot more power for data centers & other large loads.

Being anti-solar because it's not applicable to every use case is like saying we don't need cars because we have legs.
You're technically correct, but you're still a fucking moron.

I am devastated to share that our cofounder and, more importantly, our friend Eugene, has passed away. I'm filled with sorrow and my heart goes out to his family. I can't describe the pain and I can't even imagine what his family is going through.
I'll always remember Eugene as not only a brilliant engineer but also as one of the most genuine people I have ever met. He was always willing to tackle any problem with a smile on his face, and without fail he had our backs and supported everyone in his vicinity. I'm heartbroken over the loss of a great friend. The world is worse off without him.
Our @plumenetwork team is in deep pain. While there are so many things going on in the world, everything pales in comparison. Right now, the Plume team is in mourning and we are focused on taking care of and supporting each other over the next few days.
We appreciate your patience and understanding while we process this tragic loss and pay our respects to his family. We'll follow up shortly. Eugene was one of a kind and we will cherish his memory. I'll miss him more than I know how to say.

Compared to solar, oil is small-time
