So stoked to scale the data hub and one of the best resources of the @StellarOrg ecosystem. The best part is I get to work with @Rawritude iykyk. Come hang at Meridian!!!

trust is doing a lot of heavy lifting in your gtm rn. anyway, happy to be building in the stellar ecosystem:)

Babe wake up, @lumenloop Public Goods proposal just dropped (and passed) 🗳️ big things are coming

The way I ran to sign up for @jasonkarsh brain date on marketing last week. Too slow and couldn’t make it? 😝 Here are some of my takeaways: > Positioning is everything. Lock it down. > Everyone talks about product market fit (PMF), but message market fit (MMF) deserves just as much attention, esp when speaking to different audiences (eg, institutional vs. retail) > AI IS A TOOL, NOT THE STRATEGY. > OVER INDEX ON OUTCOMES, NOT TOOLS. (read that again) > To define meaningful outcomes, you need to understand what actually matters to your ICP. Put yourself in their shoes. Learn their problems, priorities, and motivations. > Marketing isn’t about winning everyone over. I. Don’t waste resources trying to convert audiences deeply entrenched in a competitor’s camp. II. Focus on those on the sidelines: the curious, the unaware, and the persuadable. III. Know who is the primary decision maker. Is it the engineering lead? Or legal and compliance? > “Stellar is perfectly boring.” Sometimes, boring is exactly what the customer needs. @StellarOrg is owning the narrative and reframing what boring means through evidence (more on this later) We also started getting into AEO, but ran out of time :( huuuge shoutout to Jason and fellow attendees for such a great discussion. Race you to the next one 🏃‍♀️

tokenization is inevitable (majority of the worlds largest tokenization fund SAFO @Spiko_finance operates natively on @StellarOrg btw) 😮‍💨

If you attended @StellarOrg Meridian, don’t forget to move your gifted XLM from Meridian Pay to a Stellar supported wallet! I just moved mine to @MetaMask :000 Other (hot) wallets that support Stellar accounts that I’ve used: @lobstr @Decaf_so @BeansApp @VarialWallet *****make sure the receiving account doesn’t require memos (mostly exchanges)*****

A scroll through social media reminded me to never celebrate Halloween in SF. Ideally always in NYC

Rumor has it @berry_is_trying was also simultaneously playing league 💀💀💀 What a mf legend

Ok but why is no one talking about how @blend_capital and @ZenithProtocols turned even the local bartenders at their side event into traders by having them consult a live, interactive drinks market to determine how many drink tickets to charge for each order?? ITS ALL JUST SO BRILLIANT

Pew pew

So happy to have reconnected with @gulcan_yayla and @riseinweb3 at Meridian this year 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 One of the og, most dedicated teams for devs fr

As an (unavailable) sapiosexual, there’s nothing I love more than brain dates. 🧠🗣️ I’m new to the @StellarOrg ecosystem 👉🏼👈🏼 and while soaking up the latest and greatest at Meridian this past week, I hosted my first Brain Date, “Stellar Suggestion Box,” to create a dedicated IRL space for community feedback. Honest feedback is invaluable data. I’m in my ~ experimental era ~ exploring ways to build a feedback loop that enriches @lumenloop ecosystem intelligence, better serves the community, and supports growth on Stellar. And this first experiment wouldn’t have been nearly as fun or insightful without the following ballers: @karu_giann @andresanemic @ar3lisa @Anouk_Rimola @NotIshanSingh 💛💛💛 More experiments to come!!! DMs are always open for ideas, suggestions, or lore too so don’t be shy;)

What’s even COOLERRrrr (yes, I am a caps person) is that you can actually play around with the exploratory models yourself and contribute to the discussion around XLM’s future tokenomics: stellar.org/xlm-utility @StellarOrg has been cooooking and giving the community a seat at the table. It’s only been two weeks but listen, I love it here, and I’m never leaving.

I literally asked @vanderdevx a week ago if I could stake XLM, only to learn that Stellar uses its own consensus protocol (SCP), which doesn’t require staking. Today, @tomerweller revealed that @StellarOrg is exploring new tokenomics models, including potential rewards for locking XLM. And that’s on manifesting 💅

I’ll never forget my first @StellarOrg Meridian conference in Rio last year. I went as a +1, with little context about Stellar, assuming it would be like many of the other blockchain conferences I had been to but I was wrong. The opening video showcased how Stellar, alongside its ecosystem partners, helped healthcare workers in Syria access their wages more reliably. This was a HUGE deal. Healthcare workers had to travel often under dangerous conditions, to collect their salaries in cash. They’d wait for hours, sometimes days. Some had to make the same journey multiple times, spending more of their own money just to collect their earnings. Moreover, the consequences of delayed wages extended far beyond the workers themselves as families and communities also relied on that same income. So when Stellar, their partners, and local cash out networks, enabled timely salary payments via USDC into workers’ digital wallets, the mental, physical, and emotional impact was beyond measure. That’s when I knew Stellar’s approach was different. The tech is just so REAL. It’s not about hype or narrative around here. It’s about real world impact. Stellar is committed to their mission and they don’t need to prove it; the stories from humans around the world whose lives have changed for the better already do that for them.

Often times when I notice (and assume) content is written by AI, I am way less inclined to engage. All these polished posts, blogs, reports… they’re so lackluster and predictable. Ofc using AI can be efficient and productive, but I miss the human touch. I miss the nuances, vulnerability, and mistakes. I miss originality from start to end. As AI becomes even more prevalent and standardized, the key is in human authenticity—or at least the perception of it.

Some of you don’t proofread your chatgpt spit content and it shows. And by some I mean too many. Leveraging LLMs can be efficient. But if you want to retain readers, take a few minutes to learn how to prompt better. Describe the tone, the goal, your audience. Provide examples of text for inspo. Just a few tweaks to your prompt and your content can be extraordinarily better. Tons of tips and resources out there. If you’re in charge of producing content, your voice is valuable. So use it 🎤

less flops, more wins for builders pls. PLS
