7/ The People: Shisha, Speed-Dating, and Signal
Thereâs something about meeting anon avatars IRL that feels really good.
Suddenly the frog pfp has a handshake. The meme poster becomes a builder. The âdegenâ has a deck, a dev team, and a dream. And the FUDsters hiding behind their keyboards, throwing âstonesâ and calling you a scam, (who ofc havenât showed up), feel really insignificant.
I honestly had too many god-tier conversations to relay here -incredible partners, redic opportunities, some of them were so fire and I canât wait to share news of them with you as those discourses mature.
But this post wouldnât be full send without a massive shoutout to
@alephium . In a sea of 20k -they are standout as one of the most genuinely brilliant teams in crypto. Every time we meet theyâve levelled up. Alephiumâs not just undervalued, theyâre blockchains quiet assassins â delivering the most elegant L1 in the space, and one of the only teams in web3 that leaves me more impressed each time we meet.
Alephium isnât just tech - itâs ethos.
We chose them as our native home for GIGATONS because they understand what most chains still donât:
- Sustainability isnât a bolt-on. Itâs baked in.
- Security isnât a trade-off. Itâs table stakes.
- Scalability isnât hype. Itâs hard work.
Weâve said it before, weâll say it again:
Alephium is criminally underrated.
Feels like discovering Ethereum in 2015.
Only this time weâre building on it early.
Catch up, anon.
At Camp GIGA:
We met so many like-minded builders, investors, partners, and dreamers. This isnât just a market anymore. Itâs a movement. And weâre proud to be a part of the layer that actually builds the new rails. Weâre delighted to be building some of our most ambitious infrastructure directly on Alephium. Itâs not a partnership of convenience. Itâs conviction, backed by belief in their architecture, energy efficiency, and a shared vision for what this space should be.
