Big congrats to @StanfordSBA team @hinkal_protocol - onchain privacy doesn't have to be complicated! Use @hinkal_protocol
It's time to be private on a public blockchain. Hinkal's Wallet is now open to everyone. Shield your wallet’s assets, actions, and dApp interactions from the public view. It's time to use crypto with confidence.

Epic @AlmanaxAI lore
Not sure if people know about this but the very first bug bounty @AlmanaxAI received was from @VitalikButerin himself. I was watching Netflix when I scanned his code

it's been awesome to see steady organic growth from the @Rocket_Pool community
$10m of TVL in two weeks. We're growing demand for rETH with the @Rocket_Pool community! $20m coming soon.

Congrats to @StanfordSBA alum team @0G_labs led by the zen and tireless @michaelh_0g ! TGEs are not the end of the journey, but the beginning. Nonetheless you have respect when a team builds and communicates their vision so clearly that the market rallies behind them.
It's just Day 1...but in the 0G ecosystem things happen at twice the speed: -Testnet to mainnet with biggest dAI ecosystem in 1.5 years -Approach to Infinite scale on data throughput and TPS in <12 months -Zerostack DAT on Nasdaq developed in a few months pre-TGE -Binance, Upbit, and 20 more listings on day 1 in ~2 years Work with us to make AI a public good, now that it is Day 1, what happens next? We need to cement our leadership by continuing to build the largest Web3 x AI ecosystem, for that, the key components will be: 1. Liquidity layer - An infinite TVL campaign is in the works for @0G_Foundation to attract liquidity when it is necessary, which brings me to 2. This includes payment infrastructure and AI agents naturally 2. Application layer - Attracting the best builders via a clear ecosystem value proposition, great UX, and key incentives. By joining 0g you will experience a competitive advantage; accelerate everything. Ai'fication of existing verticals will be a key focus 3. Double down on decentralized AI research leadership - Out of 5 recent articles published 4 are in top AI and software engineering conferences. Many news around research centers will be coming out in the next few weeks. iNFTs are an example of making the impossible inevitable (for the first time you can truly own your AI agents, example dApp x.com/0GAIverse/status/19634…) 4. Technology roll out - while we are already industry leading in many regards (e.g., @Forbes covered our decentralized training breakthrough forbes.com/sites/digital-ass…), we want to push the envelope on both AI and blockchain stack and 10x our performance over the quarters 5. Decentralizing the ecosystem - we are one of the first companies to feature a DUNA (more on that soon) and also want to progressively decentralize and give more power to the token holder community 6. Bolstering the team with some of the most mission-aligned and talented people - see more announcements soon

Great to see @StanfordSBA leaders onstage in NYC ushering in institutional adoption of Blockchain LFG!
NextFin Summit @ethereume_nyc assembled an intimate group of ~400 leaders from Finance and Crypto for a packed day of institutional insight, agentic finance, and nextgen blockchain infra. We were honored to co-host such a gathering, collaborating with @ethecofund, @Etherealize_io, @initc3org, @ethereumfndn & others.
