So excited to have other crypto founders in the @benchmark family. I love databases, vertical saas and healthcare but love crypto more. Congrats @PaulErlanger @pseudosey
There are rare moments in history, where builders have the privilege of turning a niche hobby into something the whole world can use. While crypto infrastructure has consistently improved, user experience has remained an afterthought. Since fomo’s beta launch 6 months ago, our north star has been solving crypto's 100x UX problem, for both retail and crypto-native users. In that time, fomo has become the largest cross-chain trading application in crypto, powered by the industry's top traders. During this beta period, fomo has processed nearly $700M in volume, onboarded 120K+ users and 35K+ traders, and facilitated $5M in onramp volume across nearly 15K net-new crypto users. Today's version of fomo is just the beginning on our journey to become the social layer of all finance and the first accessible financial application built entirely on crypto rails. We're thrilled to partner with Benchmark (@chetanp , @ericvishria , @peterfenton , and @EverettRandle ) as we build the world's largest financial network. Benchmark has a proven track record of backing bold, world-changing companies like eBay, Uber, Snapchat, Instagram, and Twitter. They're the best in the world at understanding network effects and scaling consumer brands. We're excited to have them as partners on this journey.

I remember reading the Bitcoin whitepaper in 2012, what struck me then and what is still true is how its growth engine is its participatory architecture. Those that forget this will not get to the same level of distribution. Bitcoin became more widely held than gold in <15 years.

COVID delayed the implications of the structural divisions that existed not accelerate them
Can AI agents feel the same sense of ownership that we require of humans? Is the only way to do that to give them something that they can natively control?
