Great overview on @mezzanine_fi.
Iām not sponsored but Iāve learned a lot from @phtevenstrong ās YouTube channel.
Another great example of how domain expertise allows you to build great products.
Over the weekend Iāve been digging deeper into Mezzanine and am growing increasingly more bullish. Iāve deposited 10k+ of my own funds into the protocol and itās earning an excellent yield + generating points which I suspect will become quite valuable too in due time.
A bunch of reasons why I am bullish:
1) The founder, @phtevenstrong, is a true OG in the defi space and has been around for years. He knows how to find the best yields and put together innovative strategies and find edges in places others donāt think to look. He has a great reputation and a lot of connections in the space.
2) This isnāt some app that has been vibe-coded over a weekend, the first public post was made back in February (xitter.cf/phtevenstrong/status/2ā¦), and theyāve been building in public all year.
3) The tranches mechanism of allowing users to choose their own risk profile is genuinely interesting, and when coupled with tapping into RWAs for yield generation creates an opportunity not found anywhere else on the market.
4) Itās early with only ~$5m TVL and one vault so your points per capital deployed ratio is going to be very high. I suspect the TVL is going to grow rapidly as more people discover the platform and more vaults are deployed. I believe theyāre aiming for 2-3 per month.
5) It has some people I really respect as seed investors, like @rektdiomedes who said itās the first seed investment heās made in three years (xitter.cf/rektdiomedes/status/21ā¦)
6) They can explain where the yield is coming from and are hyper transparent about everything, see this post to understand how theyāre generating yield for their first vault, The Hastra Optimizer (xitter.cf/mezzanine_fi/status/21ā¦)
Yes I partnered with them to help spread the word and will receive some compensation for the whole deal, but I have partnered with many projects over the years and there arenāt that many that I am going and putting 5 figures of my own funds into (more than Iām receiving for our partnership) purely because I think itās a great protocol and opportunity. With Mezzanine I think itās a great opportunity.
Itās not without risks ofc, like anything in defi, so please dyor too and only put in funds that youāre comfortable with and that are appropriate for your portfolio and risk profile.
But I really do recommend checking them out and at least keeping them on your radar. I suspect weāll be hearing a lot more about Mezzanine in the coming months. This is another post I found which I think offers a really balanced and good perspective, and is also worth reading for those wanting to learn more: xitter.cf/definikos/status/21187ā¦.

š¤ Paid partnership
Signal boosting bc Stats is awesome and this is an incredibly valuable and generous offer for those that might be in need of it š
Relevant to today's news & markets: I'm moving into relationship coaching, with a focus on infidelity. It's been in motion for the past 6 months.
If you're Jensen Huanging your relationship, or if your partner is Jensen Huanging you, DMs open. Or if your relationship isn't where you want it to be. We can chat, fully confidential, zero cost.
I'm hoping to focus more on relationships on my feed going forward, as I move more into this space.
So many people get stuck in situations that blow up or decay away all the good stuff in their lives. Doesn't have to be that way. Relationships should be an awesome part of your life.

The @pocketpad_io experience is different, it's meant not to feel like crypto. ERC-8426.
New crypto, is simple crypto. This surface area allows for that. The surface area allows for SO much.
As we explore simplicity in Crypto UX/UI. I still want to layout the actual tech š§µ

thereās a lot of truth to this
ādoing nothingā is an exaggeration ofc bc boomers in general worked v hard but the general sentiment is directionally correct
the hyper gamblification and dopaminization of everything is absolutely obliterating the minds of the younger generations

Market crashing, alts bleeding, scammers out in full force, engagement down, sentiment down, volume down, everything down
The easy and default thing to do is stick your head in the sand, but real fortunes are made by working hard and turning up in difficult times

Mint was a bit of a disaster but been buying on secondary, these are the first NFTs ever that can live in your Apple or Google Wallet w ERC-8426
Very cool tech, opens the gate for a lot more real-world utility and integrations for NFTs (tickets, memberships, loyalty cards, etc)
POCKET IS OFFICIALLY SOLD OUT.
Today, we made history.
For the first time ever, a collection has launched on Ethereum using ERC-8426, living not just onchain but in your Apple and Google Wallets. Together, we proved there's real demand for this technology and this new kind of collectible.
We want to thank everyone who took part. Whether you explored the website, signed up with your email, minted a Pocket, or traded on the marketplace, we're honored to have you with us.
Our goal is to make this the most fun and personal blockchain experiment you've ever been part of, and we built it for every kind of collector. If you just want to hold your seed, it's yours forever, and it's always safe; no watering required. If you choose to water it, your seed will grow until it reaches maturity. And if your tree dies, it reveals a spirit (why would anyone kill a tree? Thatās just mean).
This is just the start, and we're still incredibly early. Your choices determine what comes next. Share your Pocket with family and friends, tell them YOUR vision for where this technology is headed, and let them experience it for themselves. The more people who join this adventure, the better.
Pocket is the first step in simple crypto.
The seeds have been planted. Now, we grow together.
what's the best device to get to be able to play all these oldschool games again?
most modern video games don't really do it for me any more tbh, they're almost all too easy with too much handholding

Unfortunately couldnāt grab some during mint, sucks big ass chungus balls
But how could you not support something like this?
This tech unlocks many different ways NFTs can be utilized
ā¢ Ticketing
ā¢ Membership
ā¢ Event passes
ā¢ Loyalty programs
And the most important part,
Pocket creates an embedded crypto wallet when you sign in with your email, so you donāt need a separate app or extension like MetaMask.
Apple Wallet or Google Wallet holds the pass you tap to view and care for your Pocket.
The embedded crypto wallet handles ownership and blockchain transactions behind the scenes.
Youāre still using a crypto wallet
itās just built into the service instead of being a separate download
Love itš«”
Listings are live,
The @pocketpad_io MARKETPLACE IS LIVE
Watering and planting from your iphone/google wallet is live.
incredible video
the future will 100% involve people effectively plugged directly into screens spending all day watching infinite new ai episodes of their favourite comfort shows
we used to have a limit on the number of text messages we could send per day, and would get charged extra per message if we went over the cap
also texts with a photo were extra, it cost $0.50 for every text message with a photo (called an MMS)
