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

Chain cultists could get rugged, dumped on and publicly humiliated by their own team and still tweet; “Bullish!! they are playing 4d chess” Foundation could spit in their faces and they’d thank them for the airdrop

If you're in Monad, pivot to Solana.

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?
Monad has an answer for every technical problem in crypto. It’s already the fastest decentralized EVM. The roadmap is institutional privacy, MEV resistance, and post-quantum security. Nothing else comes close.

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." near.org/blog/mert-mumtaz-jo…

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.” (Source: hollywoodreporter.com/movies…)

It’s so over. GGS
1/ The blur.io frontend will be deprecated on November 12, 2026. This deprecation only applies to the frontend. The Blur marketplace protocol will remain operational on-chain, and $BLUR will continue to control its fee switch.

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👇

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 ty @monad

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

Nothing hits harder than watching someone face an opponent they can’t beat simply because there is no one else who can stand in their place

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
just got off the stage at @token2049 tokenized equities will be the next supercycle in crypto
