Very excited about working on privacy for institutions. Privacy protects your negotiating power.

Our co-founder @SamPatel8085 on stage @EBlockchainCon discussing Permissioned vs Permissionless rails.
Permissionless defi infra as it is built isn't going to be compatible with institutional needs around compliance and KYC. That said both will survive for different cases.
A billion needs to equal a billion
started letting the male cat outside
kill count so far:
- 2 baby birds
- 2 bunnies
- a mole
and he's the happiest and calmest he's ever been
turns out cats run on murder
When our oldest was 2 years old I remember coming downstairs on a Saturday and seeing her with her diaper off.
She looks me straight in the eyes and--no words--just pees on the floor.
Full eye contact alpha dog move.
Knew then that I was no longer the boss of our household.
Spent >50% of my time last week announcing Zero Delta's fundraise and it was worth every minute.
We now have 40+ inbounds from institutions moving money onchain.
Here's what it took:
- storytelling strategy
- coordinating PR
- getting an exclusive with a journalist
- passing it through legal
- pinging my personal network for distribution
But we now have a massive amount of pipeline from institutions moving funds onchain at scale:
- Head of BD at a major payments company
- Head of Institutional Sales at a major card company
- Director of Sales at a trade execution platform
- and 40+ more!
Content and storytelling is incredibly challenging to prioritize as a founder.
I avoided it like the plague for years. Can't argue with the results though.
If you're a founder, invest in building your own distribution.

regulators have a hard job
My cousin almost turned World of Warcraft into a tech job.
During the day he is a nurse, and at night he was one of top 10 WoW guild leaders.
Ended up getting approached by tech recruiters.
If you can manage 500 people online, you can manage 500 people in real life.

Excited to announce that Lightspeed Faction led a $6.8M Seed round in @glacislabs - the clearing house for stablecoins & real-world assets (RWAs)🧊⚡️
Faction has been a top tier fund to work with the past few months. Not just with investment but support, education, strategy and helping us with structuring the round and go to market. I am beyond thankful to have them as our lead and on board with us. 🙏

Excited to finally bring ZeroDelta out of stealth!

Let's have a funeral for crypto culture. We are institutionalizing.
RIP to gm, wagmi, hfsp, dyor, NFTs, KOLs who dump on you.
Crypto is dead. Long live crypto.
No one remembers the max pain of $8 SOL and when Terra Luna crashed. The naming does not bode well. It’s over.
everyone dunking on MoneyGram’s stablecoin is telling on themselves.
60M customers. 500k locations. 200+ countries.
they don’t need MGUSD liquid onchain. they need to keep the yield on the float and spend it on rewards/loyalty.
the coin was never the point. distribution was.
60 million active customers.
Nearly 500,000 retail locations.
200+ countries and territories.
5 billion digital endpoints.
Now: an active validator on @Solana, one of
the world's highest-performing blockchains.
The network keeps getting bigger.
The commitment keeps going deeper.
If you played StarCraft as a kid, you have a huge advantage right now.
Using AI is a management game:
Managing resources & production (tokens)
Managing concurrent units (agents)
Knowing the races (models)
The first solo billion-dollar company is going to be built by a gamer.
We have played this game before. Time is a circle.
Now with agents, risk surface area is going to be a LOT larger for protocols. Plan for exploits.
New chains, new ecosystems, and more tokens demand better infrastructure. That’s why we’re excited to be part of @lifiprotocol next chapter with Catalyst and Glacis.
Catalyst will push aggregation to a new level with intent-based protocols, while Glacis makes it possible to support every major interop token standard, starting first with OFT, NTT, and CCT. Warp Tokens, ITS, SupERC20, and more will have support added right after launch.
This means better pricing, zero slippage, and a frictionless user experience across any chain, in any size.
We are currently in ICO 2.0 era and DeFi 2.0 will be right behind it. First we tokenize everything, then we have to have fun activities for them to participate in.
This time its institutional.
Tokenisation solved issuance. Distribution is next, across a $400T+ asset market.
In our new research with @Securitize we map how tokenised assets scale from $27B to trillions, ft. @rwa_xyz @centrifuge @EulerFinance @maplefinance @MidasRWA

Excited for the AI workshop & demo tomorrow from the team. https:…
