Financial upkeep is constant, and much of it is routine. Automated finance closes that gap, and Aptos gives AI agents rails fast and cheap enough to do that work continuously. @_inceptioncap's Founder & GP, @davidgan1818 with Aptos Foundation's @aptAlix.

Every investor is looking for a company worth backing. Every founder is looking for investors worth building with. FairClub brings them together. Introducing FairClub: where private capital forms. The internet changed how companies are built. Raising money still runs through spreadsheets, group chats, cold DMs and whoever happens to be in your phone. FairClub brings the whole raise into one place – from first introduction to final close. For founders, that means: • build a private Deal Room • find aligned investors who fit the round • see the warmest path in your network to reach them • track questions, follow-ups and registered interest • prepare the legal handoff and close using stablecoins For investors, it means one place to: • discover curated private deals screened for compliance and supported by industry leaders • meet and talk to the team • review the terms, documents and available diligence • register non-binding interest if they want to go further Every deal has its own access rules, eligibility requirements, minimums, availability and legal documents. FairClub is non-custodial, and every raise on the platform settles in stablecoins on @solana. Our goal is simple: Your network should open doors. It should not decide where opportunity ends. One more thing... Comment below and we’ll run an audit on your X account to reveal your Investor Social Score - what builds trust, what weakens your signal and how to improve it. Then we’ll publish your Investor Social Score in the replies. Watch the FairClub film below 👇

A big step forward for fixed-rate DeFi. With Term V2 now live, users can access peer-to-peer fixed-rate markets with atomic execution and more efficient capital deployment. Congrats to the @term_labs team on the launch. Proud to be an early backer.
Introducing Term V2: The next layer of fixed-rate DeFi. Term V2 brings a peer-to-peer order book and atomic execution layer. With Term V2 live, the complete experience of Terminal 1 — an interface and routing system for fixed-rate markets— is unlocked. Users can express fixed-rate terms while capital stays productive, then route and execute positions in a single transaction. True fixed-rate, fixed-term markets, made executable. What’s live ↓

Cross-border payments remain one of the biggest opportunities for blockchain adoption, especially across emerging markets. Great conversation between our Founder & GP @davidgan1818 and @aptAlix @Aptos on where the industry is headed.
Supporting family across borders shouldn't mean mailing cash and hoping it arrives. For billions in emerging markets, that's still the reality. Aptos is solving that problem today. @_inceptioncap's Founder & GP, @davidgan1818 with Aptos Foundation's @aptAlix on money movement.

Excited to see our portfolio company @term_labs launch Terminal 1. Fixed-rate lending, defined maturities, atomic refinancing, and institutional workflows are important steps toward more mature onchain credit markets. Looking forward to seeing the ecosystem build on it!
DeFi infrastructure should be readable by anyone. Term Finance, Terminal 1 contracts are now open source — and audited by @sigp_io. If you're going to lock capital at fixed rates, you should be able to read what you're locking it into. Full audit report is now public and verifiable: 🔗 developers.term.finance/depl… View deployed contracts + transparency details: 🔗 github.com/term-finance/term…
