AI agents are moving from making recommendations to completing transactions. We are helping build the trust, authorization, and control frameworks needed for trusted agentic commerce through Agent Pay, Verifiable Intent, and collaborations like AgentCard with @Alchemy Photo credit: Michael M.

Arc now fastest growing day 1 chain ever 24hrs: - thousands of teams building - 3000+ apps - billions of API calls - 9% of total ecosystem activity (150+ chains) Token prices can be manipulated. Onchain volumes faked. Developer activity is the only real metric. Nice work @arc @circle

Arc mainnet is live today, and we’re launching full platform support on day 1. RPC, WebSockets, Data APIs, and gasless transaction infra. Build on @Arc, the economic OS for the internet.

At @Alchemy we really do earnestly believe blockchains will not kill all humans. I personally think it’s <.01% chance within the next decade.
Jacob is correct here—we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to.

Lubbock High School buddy @ScottHickle now the king of poop. So proud 🥹
I'm thrilled to share that @ThroneScience has raised $10M to advance our vision of building a smoke detector for colon cancer. We started this company three years ago, and in that short period of time we built a world-class health tracker that our members often compare to Apple. That's exactly what we were going for, and we're just getting started. I am incredibly grateful for the support of our investors, my co-founders, our team, and, most importantly, our members. In particular, I want to thank @BennyG49 and the team at Will Ventures, @KatieS for being our Day One, Fern Mandelbaum, Warren Shaeffer, Max Mullen, Tara Viswanathan, Justin Driscoll, Justin Mares, and all those whose belief have made this next chapter possible. My younger brother recently said it best: twenty years ago, it was a crazy idea to sleep in a stranger's home or ride in a stranger's car. In twenty years, it will be crazy not to have a camera in your toilet. Throne has the unique opportunity to save a million lives. I cannot imagine a more meaningful way to spend my life than to work in the service of this mission.

If regulators can secretly debank an entire lawful industry, no business is safe. That’s exactly what nearly happened to crypto, and we exposed the details. The Gensler SEC deleted texts at the height of the anti-crypto campaign, FDIC buried evidence - it was all uncovered after we fought to expose the truth. This win is not only for us, but for every American, and every American company expecting transparency and accountability from the government.
The government tried to secretly kill crypto in America. We sued to expose this, and we won. We'll always fight for financial freedom.

Something big is happening in banking right now. @StanChart just said it will let institutional clients mint and redeem @circle's USDC directly, days after @BNYglobal, the world's largest custody bank, did the same. The biggest banks in the world are quietly becoming stablecoin infrastructure.

The reason is scale. @chainalysis estimates stablecoin volumes could reach $1.5 quadrillion a year by 2035. When numbers get that big, every bank wants to be the gateway. Stablecoins are becoming core plumbing for global finance. chainalysis.com/blog/stablec…
