When we said advertising cannot run without a single source of truth, people smiled politely. Now agents are entering the supply chain, and an agent working from a bad record does not pause to question it. It executes. Today, we’re building towards the Alkimi Marketplace, and the thesis is sharper than ever. Agents negotiating against different versions of reality is just the old supply chain wearing a new jacket. @SuiNetwork and @WalrusProtocol give us the one shared record every agent on every side can resolve against. Labs is where our community keeps building this with us. What's coming next is the part I'm most excited about.

Everyone talks about bringing real-world systems onchain. Very few actually rebuild one end to end. @AlkimiExchange did, using the Sui Stack to run live ad auctions, delivery, verification, and settlement for real advertisers. Here’s how 👇

The future of technology depends on one thing: trustworthy data. AI, Web3, and emerging systems need verifiable, transparent foundations to scale responsibly. At @Zebu_live, @RJ_Simmonds (Walrus Foundation), @BenPutleyAlkimi (@AlkimiExchange), and @Gdanezis (@Mysten_Labs) explored how provable data can power that future.

Had a great conversation with @RJ_Simmonds about why advertising is the perfect use case for decentralised storage. When every ad impression needs to be verifiable and auditable, @WalrusProtocol changes what's possible. Not theoretical, this is what we're shipping at Alkimi. Give it a listen

London Web3 Week kicks off tomorrow with @Zebu_Live - the perfect moment to reflect on the UK’s opportunity. The foundation for becoming a global Web3 hub is already here: world-class tech talent, established financial infrastructure, and access to European markets. What’s needed now is to back innovation with clear frameworks and infrastructure investment, not restrictive rules that push builders elsewhere. The potential is undeniable. Let’s make it happen! I’ll be there representing @AlkimiExchange, connecting with builders and innovators shaping the UK’s Web3 future.

Not surprised by this developer growth at all — Sui’s tech makes it an obvious choice.

In just 2 years #Sui dev growth is outpacing chains that have been here for much much longer. Higher!!

The biggest Web3 hiring mistake is thinking you only need crypto natives. Real breakthrough happens when domain experts who understand business problems work with smart contract developers who can solve them. At @AlkimiExchange, our best solutions came from bridging traditional expertise with blockchain architecture. Crypto curiosity matters more than crypto experience.

Bitcoin adoption just hit 4.7%, same as internet in 1997. Amazon went public that year. Netflix was founded. Google launched the next. The infrastructure is ready. Now we build what defines the next decade.

🤯 WOAH: Bitcoin adoption has just reached 4.7%, which is the same amount as the Internet had in 1997.

Big thanks to everyone who joined. The conversations here show how much energy and innovation this ecosystem holds!

Watching Ben represent $ALKIMI at Sui Fest was a proper moment! He didn't just discuss our tech at the keynote. He spoke about the vision → fixing an industry that's been broken for too long and giving control back to the people who matter. That's the kind of leadership that builds movements, not just platforms. If you missed the talk, we'll share highlights soon 🔥

Next week, I will be back attending @token2049 in Singapore I'll be speaking at SuiFest on October 2nd, sharing @AlkimiExchange progress and how we are the first project using the full @SuiNetwork stack. Token 2049 is one of the best conferences for real conversations about where crypto and Web3 are actually heading. Always valuable to step outside the advertising bubble and see what's being built across the ecosystem. If you're there (or just in Singapore), let's grab coffee or proper chicken rice 🍜
