What’s the most underrated tool in your web3 development stack? 🤔

The current financial system is broken and full of gatekeepers. Our conviction in @ethereum hasn't changed. It's the most credible foundation for a fair, secure, and decentralized future. The next generation of finance won't come from Wall Street. It will come from @github.

We’ve talked to hundreds of founders who want to build but are struggling to raise capital from VCs. If you’re trying to fund your MVP, you don’t need a term sheet. Here are some resources to kickstart your project 👇

As a development agency that's worked with 35+ startups, we're exposed to a lot of different developer tools and services for building top-tier applications. We want to highlight some of the really strong service providers, starting with @thirdweb!

The future of ꧁IP꧂ is onchain and @StoryProtocol is leading the charge in the IP revolution. We’ve talked to a lot of builders at @EthereumDenver and many of them are helping grow the Story ecosystem. We’re a very proud development partner. 🫡

Congrats to our friends at @LanternFi for winning the @Supermooncamp pitch deck completion! From @techstarsweb3 to @EthereumDenver, it’s been incredible to watch them grow over the last year. Just the beginning for them… 👀🔥

Don't waste your time on ❌ and instead focus on ✅.

us at 3:00 AM after 12 hours of debugging, rewriting, and a whole lot of coffee... but the PR is up...

There's a lot of people in this space that describe themselves as builders. You cannot replace pushing code with posting on Twitter. Our favorite companies companies/ecosystems that are shipping constantly? 👀 @base @storyprotocol @thirdweb
