incredibly grateful to share my first research piece as a part of the @placeholdervc team. couldn't be more thankful to @cburniske @mlphresearch @jmonegro and the rest of the incredible industry experts who helped shape this piece a short 🧵 on my presented argument below...

MBC is more than a conference. It's a student movement. Thank you to @AaronWStanley and @Forbes for showcasing our event and mission. Much more to come 🎥 forbes.com/sites/astanley/20…

Shoutout @MBC_Conference for an amazing conference last weekend! Texas learned a lot from @UMichBlockchain & friends. It was great connecting with all the companies at the conference as well! Shoot us a DM if you're interested in a partnership - we'd love to chat!

💡 The crypto and digital native nature of the Zoomer generation is the most discounted factor in the crypto asset conversation People still believe that the curtain will get pulled back eventually and then crypto will just magically fade out of style Consider: at the @MBC_Conference at the University of Michigan this last weekend (35-40 university blockchain clubs represented), I encountered: - a university blockchain club voting on @Uniswap governance on behalf of @a16z - numerous clubs that run their own crypto investment funds - several clubs running validator nodes on Ethereum and other networks - a guy who started working for a crypto hedge fund when he was 16 - full time students simultaneously working full time for crypto projects - relentless degens who've been trading memecoins relentlessly the last 12 months Good luck convincing them that it's all smoke and mirrors 🤷‍♂️ Shout to to @Evsolomon5 and Michigan Blockchain for putting this event together!

.@MBC_Conference was the best blockchain event I’ve attended. Everyone brought such an amazing energy and I am so grateful that I was able to experience it! Hate to say it, but it was better than @CUBlockchain Conference😵…@reva_jariwala and I took notes and we better see everyone on April 25, 2025 in NYC for our conference🤓 Huge shoutout to @Evsolomon5 @redempshawne and @UMichBlockchain for planning such a great event and bringing everyone together in the middle of the country. Creating another post with learnings/highlights⚡️⚡️

Onchain trading can be a nightmare for hedge funds: Manual trades. High fees. Low liquidity. But what if there was a better way? @StarkillerCap found it on Definitive in a recent @AerodromeFi trade on @base Here’s how they use TWAPs on Definitive for best execution onchain:

📢 Breaking news. ⌛ In the last couple of months, we've been heads down building. And we got tired of waiting. During our closed beta, we’ve authorized hundreds of thousands of transactions to understand the needs of a web3 access management system. 📖 Today, we’ve released it fully open-source. Including a key vault for signing EVM transactions. We believe you should be able to build an institutional wallet stack from entirely open-source components. 🎛 The Armory Stack is an access management system tailored for use cases that need strong authentication and fine-grained authorization. It is designed to secure the usage of private keys, wallets, and web3 applications. 👉 Learn more in our blog post: mirror.xyz/0xaee67BE46Ff5548…
