gm! blend is hiring a senior engineer. we've built compliant yield infra for neobanks as a team of five and we're intentionally scaling engineering by one.
if you've worked on solver systems, cross-chain infra, or high-throughput web2 backends, lets chat
Infrastructure tested against
one regulator is a product.
Infrastructure tested against
five regulatory regimes at once
is a standard.
We chose the harder path
because our partners' licenses
depend on it.
Come to build your earn feature with blend!
Rio 🇧🇷 is delivering this week.
We just landed for @WebSummit! If your neobank or fintech holds user balances, idle treasury, or float that isn't working, that's exactly what we built @blend_money for.
Find @criptolawyer at Riocentro or grab a time here.

We are looking for two interns this summer, full-time, in-person NYC
Competitive salary performance-based equity
Your only task will be to press the wispr flow trigger for our engineers
Ideal candidate:
- At least one (1) fully functional finger and/or toe
- Must capture all auditory shareholder value
- Provide high touch support to our engineers at any given moment
- PhD in Computer Science, Math, Physics or related fields is highly preferred
for the folks who've built interop systems, solver networks, or infra that moves markets, and who are curious about what's next:
DM me what you've built, the volume it's done, how you'd want to shape next gen infra, and when you'd want to chat about our upcoming roles.
interesting thought: a new model being added has to be a red-alert on pager duty for model wrapper companies
from personal experience: i have a 10 minute window before i just start using claude code or codex directly
Introducing Claude Opus 4.8: it builds on Opus 4.7 with sharper judgment, more honesty about its own progress, and the ability to work independently for longer than its predecessors.
Available today at the same price.
ALT Benchmark table showing how Claude Opus 4.8 compares to its predecessor and to other models on tests of coding, agentic skills, reasoning, and practical knowledge work tasks.
this resonates with my thesis too. global banking has an opportunity to move to a single rail rather than be siloed via a network of interconnected banking institutions.
Before the internet, your access to information was your local library or university. Now, everyone in the world gets the same wikipedia and google.
Crypto's promise is to do the same thing for finance. Instead of having to take your local bank's rate, you should be able to borrow from or lend at the best global rates. Instead of taking your local broker's coverage set as the constraint set, you should get access to global opportunities.
The value prop is clear; time to grow.
from a software perspective, this is a reasonable cost for the posture of wallet connect. it literally powers a big chunk of crypto flows and $75/mo is an agreeable number (tenderly which teams should have imo is $50/mo/seat)
and as a general rule, you should always look to prune your services stack where applicable. (some tools are better to amortize via a vendor)
How is nobody talking about @WalletConnect's new pricing?
$890/year just to let your dApp use WalletConnect.
Without it, most wallets don't even work, especially on mobile.
So what are devs supposed to do now?
GitHub is a 7.5 billion dollar company for accumulating the largest dataset of source code in history that spans most major companies.
the data is the spike
taking the moment to grandstand and say that if anyone wants to integrate compliant yield into your stack, I will personally walk you through @blend_money and help you apply to our Fintech Partner Program
PSA: tools like Railway and Vercel are just convenience wrappers over IaaS/hyperscalers like AWS/Azure/GCP.
Using the IaaS vendors directly is usually cheaper and removes an extra middlelayer from your compute.
(not engineering advice, do what’s best for your org ofc)
Google Cloud has blocked our account, making some Railway services unavailable. We have escalated this directly with Google. The Railway Platform team has since confirmed access to Google Cloud and is working on restoring access to all workloads.
We have access to some of our Google Cloud–hosted infrastructure and are working to restore the rest of the service. We apologize for the disruption.
