Building a future worth believing in
We’re happy to share that we’re building a sustainable revenue model for our NFT holders
It requires considerably more time, capital and execution than simply launching an NFT collection and our priority is building a foundation designed for long-term value
We look forward to sharing more as we continue to build
Don't get me wrong but everything you're building is genuinely good for blockchain infrastructure and I'm glad you're doing it
But you spent years preaching about community and now all you talk about is institutional privacy, MEV resistance and post-quantum security
Why the fuck should your community stick around for your institutional privacy roadmap?
What happened to all that community-first bullshit?
So AI agents pay Ankr in USDC and monad just processes the transactions?
Bullish for USDC
Ankr just chose Monad to launch AI payments.
@ankr has undergone a new first, launching x402 AI agent payments and choosing the @Monad L1 for its launch chain.
AI agents can now autonomously access Ankr’s infrastructure tooling and pay for it themselves.
The $MON ecosystem has experienced a resurgence in recent weeks, with rising onchain metrics and now support from other chain agnostic platforms.
Building infrastructure instead of building demand
Sound familiar?
Aave, Ethena and Hyperliquid Founders on Their Biggest Competitors (Archive Video)
At a TOKEN2049 Singapore roundtable on October 14, 2025, Aave founder Stani Kulechov @StaniKulechov , Ethena founder Guy Young @gdog97_ , and Hyperliquid co-founder Jeff Yan @chameleon_jeff were asked who they saw as their biggest competitors. Their answers were "the banks," "Circle," and "nobody," respectively.
When asked what DeFi founders most often get wrong, they pointed to focusing on infrastructure too early, looking too narrowly at DeFi's existing small user base, and not putting enough emphasis on composability. The three also showed clear differences in how they viewed tokenized stocks, liquidity mining, and intents.
NEAR is winning
Solana is winning
Mert keeps winning
TRILLIONS
Helius CEO @mert has joined the NEAR Foundation Council, NEAR Foundation’s governing body.
An early NEAR Intents user and leading voice on privacy, Mert brings an operator’s view to how NEAR builds and grows.
“For crypto to win, we need connected, unstoppable liquidity at planetary scale. A market of markets. Neither Solana, Zcash, or Bitcoin can win on their own, we must work together. And NEAR is how."

I don’t think storytelling or emotional depth is what makes JJK stand out
It’s insanely fast pacing, incredible fight choreography and arguably some of the best camera angles in anime
Inde Navarette says she studied anime — including ‘Jujutsu Kaiden’ and ‘Demon Slayer’ — to learn more about screenwriting & storytelling.
“I learned about timeline and about storytelling—how a person can have a monologue at the beginning of the episode that matters two episodes later or even at the end, and that person's dead and you don't learn it until then—and then attaching that to my screenwriting and trying to learn that way.”

Everything I need to know about Monad is when the insiders start dumping their unlocks and who’s supposed to buy them when there is nobody left using the chain👇
Everything you need to know about Monad Private Settlement
@JanCamenisch, Staff Researcher at @category_xyz, breaks it down 👇
I highly recommend studying this if your goal is to be a loser
Attention Young Men:
I am surrounded by 20 year old girls in my life that are smart, capable, hard working and cute. Nobody is dating them. Not sure what the deal is, but I don’t get it.
Step 1: Stop playing video games
Step 2: Head to great clips and get that lettuce cleaned up
Step 3: Hit a shower (when dating hygiene is critical)
Step 4: Go clean your car
Step 5: Sign up for a yoga class
Step 6: Go to the yoga class
Step 7: Ask a cute for her phone number at yoga class (yes you can meet girls IRL and not just on the apps - 10/10 the Dirt Dog highly recommends)
Step 8: Follow up within 2 days with a phone call and ask them out for this coming weekend Friday or Saturday night.
Step 9: IMPORTANT - come up with a good game plane for date night. Get a dinner reservation, get an activity planned. Let them know in advance what you are doing so they can dress appropriately. I know you are gunna roll off the couch and head to date night, but they are not. They are going to stress about what to wear and call at least 6 different people on FaceTime to ask their opinion.
Step 10: I highly recommend you bring flowers to the door step. I’m not covering that you go to the doorstep, because if you don’t do that you have no hope here. Women want men to date them. You don’t need to break the bank on flowers. Head to Trader Joe’s. Grab 2 different kinds of flowers. If you don’t know what matches find the closest looking lady to your mom at TJ’s and ask her. Wrap the 2 flowers into 1 bouquet with paper. Bonus Points you can cut open a TJ bag and use that as the paper.
Step 11: Be a gentleman on the date. She isn’t there to hear your life story. Ask her about her. For every 1 question you answer, ask her 3. Open Doors, pay for the meal, be polite.
Provided you follow most of this guideline you are highly likely to get yourself an opportunity for date number 2.
Keep going until you find someone that you can’t imagine not being around all the time. That’s when you have found a good one for you.
My life is complete with my wife as my companion. I wish you the same fortune in life. Happy Hunting.
Did monad foundation actually pay for this?
went to Monad Open in Singapore and somehow ended up eating ice cream, playing claw machines, opening my first Pokémon cards and getting a massage 😭
i also asked someone to explain Monad in girly-pop terms and he fully understood the assignment, 10/10 slay
honestly, the event felt like spending a day with your bestie

IT'S OFFICIAL:
ONE OF THE GREATEST SPORTS MANHWA EVER CREATED IS FINALLY GETTING AN ANIME ADAPTATION
We are the AI chain
We are the tokenized equities chain
We are the consumer chain
We are the whatever-timeline-wants chain
Just keep reinventing your identity, chase every new narrative, make empty promises and flex metrics that mean absolutely nothing to anyone
Congrats you have mastered crypto
Most crypto builders seem to be pivoting toward tokenized equities and if you ask me, this is probably the next bubble
The part that nobody should ignore is whether these products are actually 1:1 backed
A lot of what crypto calls “tokenized equities” is really just synthetic equity exposure;
You get something like sAAPL that tracks Apple price but the issuer doesn’t necessarily hold an actual Apple share behind every token
1 sAAPL ≈ AAPL price
1 sAAPL ≠ 1 AAPL sitting in custody
The exposure can instead be created through derivatives, perps, collateral or other mechanisms etc
Also Apple doesn’t need to be tokenized to find liquidity. Crypto protocols need Apple onchain to create new volume, new products and a new reason for capital to stick around
