“I wasn’t the fastest guy in the world. I wouldn’t have done well in an Olympiad or a math contest. But I like to ponder. And pondering things, just sort of thinking about it and thinking about it, turns out to be a pretty good approach.’ – Jim Simons

"ROMO" Relief of Missing Out.

I was recently diagnosed with a serious chronic condition. This reality check is forcing me to make major lifestyle changes to keep my health from worsening. I want to share a bit about my experience and what comes next. My physical appearance looks healthy, I have a clean diet, and workout 5 days a week, but I’ve been dealing with prolonged gut health issues for years. If you’ve spent enough time around me you would probably hear me mention or complain about something related to the overall subject of gut health. Ranging from how working from home is not good for your digestive track to me personally complaining about stomach aches and so on. I’m 27 now and the condition I got diagnosed with is usually diagnosed to people at age 60, so there was definitely something wrong going on. I always linked these episodes to stress, since they appeared during intense periods in my personal or professional life. Unfortunately, I didn’t make it a priority to get checked earlier because my first episode, at 18, was brief and passed quickly. The second, around age 23 when I shut down my startup Lirn.io, lasted longer but still resolved on its own. My third episode came two years ago after being laid off. This time I did plan to get an endoscopy, but insurance issues stopped me. The latest episode has lasted through all of 2025 which was an intense year but this time, the symptoms didn’t fade. The prior episodes were usually manageable and didn’t worry me much even though in hindsight I should've listen to my intuition. My past perspectives were more on phasing it out, mind over matter, being stubborn, but this time it was different. The belief of this becoming a nightmare story was starting to feel real. So that led me to getting an endoscopy and going over my findings with gastroenterologists. It turns out I waited longer than I should have to get checked out and due to that I now have to deal with something chronic. On the flip side though, it was still early enough to start medication to prevent it from getting worse. I mean cancer-level worse. Through the good grace of god, I caught this at the precancerous stage. I wasn’t aware that there were precancerous conditions but this is one of the cases where if you don’t treat the current condition, it severely increases the chances for cancer to form. The exact diagnosis on how I developed this condition isn’t known but genetic and lifestyle factors are the ones with the biggest impact. Now the focus is on playing defense and getting healthy. I’m lucky that I can make changes before it’s too late because some people do not get to do that. The process to get better is going to happen overnight but I am confident that I will be able to return to being healthy and create a new life system that will be satisfactorial and sustainable. This leads me to announce something that I’ve been thinking over and over about. I mean I’ve sat down and stared at the wall for hours. I was thinking about what I am going to do about Blormmy. If you’ve been gifted and cursed by the spirit of being a founder, you know that work is not just work. It is your life’s biggest bandwidth allocation. My family has called me a workaholic since I was 18 and that is because to me my work is not just a job. It is the essence of me. Not even in an economical sense but in a craftsmanship manner. A never ending chase of pursuing master in a domain. The insatiable curiosity of the field you are in. Unfortunately, I believe that same drive contributed to causing a toll on my body over time. I would usually only sleep less than 7 hours a night, take a lot of caffeine, and not detach from work, so the lifestyle has been catching up to me. You reach a point when the body starts talking for you. With that being said, I want to say that I have to begin the heartbreaking process of unwinding Blormmy down. From my introspection, talking to my family and team, I’ve decided I can’t be a founder for this time being. I can't carry the founder toll and fully focus on getting healthy. It is a bit of a haunting feeling of what Blormmy could’ve been because we worked so hard on advancing Blormmy and we were about to enter a new chapter. We won the solana mobile hackathon, built a novel key management system for agents, and shipped deterministically encryption for TEEs to get agentic signatures. On top of that the x402 is finally picking up and what we were planning for Blormmy it would’ve been the perfect time to strike. If you’ve been in crypto for a while you know how important it is to strike a narrative at the right time. I genuinely Blormmy would’ve done well so it feels like I am saying no to a dream but health comes first. Having money and success without health is futile. As for the transition process, all users can transfer their funds from their Blormmy account to a selected wallet. If there are any issues throughout the process let me know. blormmy.com/transfer Thank you to everyone in the community who’s been supportive to me during this time as well. From the messages I received from people asking about the project and me updating them, all have been very considerate which is a nice feeling because working in crypto can be harsh. Lemon, cryptohead, punch, prop, AMD, and all OG Blormmy community members thank you as you were part of something genuine. Another special thanks to the crossmint, phala, and solana mobile team as they were core to what we were building. Lastly, thank you to my teammates Ef, Art, Elizabeth, Thiago, Shelton, and Carlos for their support throughout this all. In positive news, Art and Thiago are going to squad up like the 2002 Brazil soccer team to cook something I’m very excited about. Sitting still is going to be impossible for me so I plan on lightly supporting teams during this phase so if you need any support in agentic commerce, key management system, defi, scaling a project, and so on, shoot me a dm. I’ve got some scars to share. So in summary to recap: After years of ignoring recurring gut issues, I was diagnosed with a chronic, precancerous condition. The diagnosis is forcing me to focus on recovery and step away from Blormmy, to prioritize health. Though it’s difficult to pause a project that was gaining traction, I recognize that health must come first. I’m grateful for the support from my team, community, and partners, and plan to continue contributing in a lighter capacity while rebuilding a sustainable, balanced life. I wasn’t sure how transparent I wanted to get but I came to the conclusion that I want to share this because it could be a message to someone who is going through something similar. I know a lot of people make work their life, as I did and wish to do so again, but we need to get the first principle right, which is health. If you are having symptoms and have been putting something to the side, do what you can to get l medical insight and perhaps identify the next steps to get better. Sometimes the symptoms are even too correlated to what you think might be the root issue. For example one of the root symptoms for my condition is heartburn but I never felt the sensation of what I thought was heartburn. It turns out each nervous system has a different sensation to what heartburn is so my initial interpretation was wrong. We can’t afford to be wrong about our health. Additionally, I am entering my unc stage in my life so I hope even the younger generation takes this message seriously as well. Let’s start making changes before it’s too late. May we blorm again in the future.

Blormmy on Solana mobile is going to cook. Product philosophy has increased. Thank you @solanamobile @therealchaseeb @toly and others for a great call today

There’s probably than < 1000 strong web3 agent engineers Agents && web3 is happening in real time at an accelerated rate so the epitome of domain knowledge is constantly expanding. There’s probably more senior engineers in web3 than agent engineers. And on top of that most cracked agent engineers are in web2. If you come across a strong web3 agent engineer, pay attention!

Here's a wishlist for x402 to solve An agent that takes the upfront cost for an api access. Say X's pro plan which cost, $5k a month. An agent pays the X API agent $1 per request. The goal is that X API agent can offer the benefits of the pro API but a cheaper cost. If agent send 2k requests then that is 3k in savings for not having to pay the entire 5k. Then the X API agent can offer it to other agents and reach profitability. This doesn't work with X's ToS but I hope in the agentic future we see novel systems like this

Great episode covering all angles of Blormmy Since this conversation we went back to the lab to rebuild blormmy so all this and much more can be cooked. it's a tough build because we're at the cutting edge on several fronts but we're working every single day to get this out asap
