So stoked to scale the data hub and one of the best resources of the @StellarOrg ecosystem. The best part is I get to work with @Rawritude iykyk. Come hang at Meridian!!!

What’s even COOLERRrrr (yes, I am a caps person) is that you can actually play around with the exploratory models yourself and contribute to the discussion around XLM’s future tokenomics: stellar.org/xlm-utility @StellarOrg has been cooooking and giving the community a seat at the table. It’s only been two weeks but listen, I love it here, and I’m never leaving.

I literally asked @vanderdevx a week ago if I could stake XLM, only to learn that Stellar uses its own consensus protocol (SCP), which doesn’t require staking. Today, @tomerweller revealed that @StellarOrg is exploring new tokenomics models, including potential rewards for locking XLM. And that’s on manifesting 💅

I’ll never forget my first @StellarOrg Meridian conference in Rio last year. I went as a +1, with little context about Stellar, assuming it would be like many of the other blockchain conferences I had been to but I was wrong. The opening video showcased how Stellar, alongside its ecosystem partners, helped healthcare workers in Syria access their wages more reliably. This was a HUGE deal. Healthcare workers had to travel often under dangerous conditions, to collect their salaries in cash. They’d wait for hours, sometimes days. Some had to make the same journey multiple times, spending more of their own money just to collect their earnings. Moreover, the consequences of delayed wages extended far beyond the workers themselves as families and communities also relied on that same income. So when Stellar, their partners, and local cash out networks, enabled timely salary payments via USDC into workers’ digital wallets, the mental, physical, and emotional impact was beyond measure. That’s when I knew Stellar’s approach was different. The tech is just so REAL. It’s not about hype or narrative around here. It’s about real world impact. Stellar is committed to their mission and they don’t need to prove it; the stories from humans around the world whose lives have changed for the better already do that for them.

Often times when I notice (and assume) content is written by AI, I am way less inclined to engage. All these polished posts, blogs, reports… they’re so lackluster and predictable. Ofc using AI can be efficient and productive, but I miss the human touch. I miss the nuances, vulnerability, and mistakes. I miss originality from start to end. As AI becomes even more prevalent and standardized, the key is in human authenticity—or at least the perception of it.

Some of you don’t proofread your chatgpt spit content and it shows. And by some I mean too many. Leveraging LLMs can be efficient. But if you want to retain readers, take a few minutes to learn how to prompt better. Describe the tone, the goal, your audience. Provide examples of text for inspo. Just a few tweaks to your prompt and your content can be extraordinarily better. Tons of tips and resources out there. If you’re in charge of producing content, your voice is valuable. So use it 🎤
