Love to see Anthropic diversifying revenue by getting into KOL marketing

Introducing Onchain Group (OG). After leaving Coinbase, I spent time reflecting on what was actually worth working on. My background was as a venture investor — pattern matching, working with founders, and figuring out what’s coming next. What I realized, though, was that the most energizing part wasn’t investing. It was working with teams to define strategy and bring the right transaction into existence, like architecting the Coinbase <> Morpho deal — a new kind of onchain alliance that combined product, capital, and distribution to create an entirely new category and market. It made me wonder: was this a one-off, or the start of something new? Having been in crypto for nearly a decade, this is the most dynamic the space has felt. Onchain products are becoming real businesses, tokens are becoming real assets, and regulatory clarity is opening up an entirely new design space — introducing a new class of capital structuring opportunities. Over the past year, working closely with founders, it became clear that this wasn’t a one-off, but the first of many. The opportunity design space is just beginning — from tokens turning on fees, to restructurings, to equity-like conversions, to acquisitions and distribution partnerships involving tokens. Teams are realizing that getting this right is no longer optional. As onchain products mature into real businesses, taking ambitious steps toward the right capital structure becomes a requirement — and the market is beginning to reward those who do it well. In our conversations with builders, investors, and stakeholders over the past year, it became clear that nobody was exploring this area the right way — with an early-stage mindset, cryptonative intuition, and institutional rigor all at once. So we started Onchain Group. OG exists to define and execute the transactions that create new markets and shape this new system. If crypto is the software upgrade to finance, then capital structure needs to evolve alongside it — requiring ambitious strategy and creative execution.

If the 10x engineer feels this way then what's coming to the 1x engineer will be brutal

Oldest coin, best coin “Hypergamble into elite status” has become the prevailing narrative in crypto. Everyone’s been led to believe the working class will be rendered obsolete and that we only have 2-3 years left to “make it” before the world spontaneously combusts. While there are plenty of good reasons to be long financialization, the pendulum may have swung too far. Even if speculation has found its product–market fit, living with a 20x leverage slider two inches from one’s life savings can’t be good for the human psyche. @dawndotxyz is @asula_labs' first product and our opinionated response to the culture of hyper-gambling. Bitcoin is the greatest savings asset ever created. Stablecoins have the potential to be the world’s most efficient payments asset. To bring the next generation onto crypto rails, we need to build sustainable financial services around these two principle asset classes. Even foundational services like insurance and credit become meaningfully differentiated when built on better rails with better assets. However, we're far from this future and need input from real users to get there. If you'd like to be one of the first users of @dawndotxyz please join the waitlist: dawn.xyz Also, please reach out to me on twitter or tg if you have thoughts/opinions/ideas on how to make dawn the best savings product ever.

Delighted to announce @0xren_cf has been promoted to General Partner at @ElectricCapital! Ren started as an engineer at Electric & has grown into a phenomenal investor and unique thinker. Founders are lucky to work with him. We are lucky to have him at Electric. Link below 👇

Feels like another explosion in token use from enterprises is coming. These computer use models haven't been "good enough" yet for building automations at large.

Excited to finally launch what I've been working on the past 3 months! Introducing Peval, a competition to see who can write the best prompts, and which models are the best at different evals come beat me: peval.io/competition/chess

Ramp to Jeb: Please clap.

Morris Chang was 55 when he started TSMC. Reed Hastings was 37 when he started Netflix. Meek Mill was 38 when he started his AI company. It’s never too late to be early.

Google having both Vertex AI and Gemini Developer API is not only incredibly confusing, feature support is uneven. The new URL context feature fails on Vertex but works for Gemini Developer API. @OfficialLoganK please help 😩

Taking #1 on Terminal Bench against teams like Anthropic, Block, and Warp is impressive. Congrats to the OpenBlock team!

Execution is Everything.

I am excited to support teams on @base through the Base Mentorship Program! Some of the best new use cases for crypto are happening on Base -- I can't wait to support teams building consumer and social apps!

We're proud to be teaming up with Visional Pop to push Quack and Lola ⌐◨-◨ into being a major global entertainment brand. The collaboration will focus on new multi-platform content, consumer products, and digital experiences. 🌟

Can't use AI notetakers due to compliance concerns? Hyprnote solves this by running local LLMs so your data never leaves your device. @tobi from Shopify starred it so you know its legit. In the past 30 days it gained 1900 stars for a whopping 80% growth!

Is GPT-5 a nothingburger? It's barely better than o3 coding in OpenAI's own codebase. The model router they built sounds way more interesting but they barely shared anything about it.

Incredible alpha from @garythung & team - really enjoy using this product
