Today marks the end of the internship for our first batch of DCo research interns as they graduate from the program. This program is a sprint, designed to train researchers to defend their opinions in front of the sharpest editors and think beyond consensus. Over the last three months, they’ve been deeply embedded into our research stack, taking on high-context briefs, developing crypto-native thinking, and refining their editorial discipline. Here’s what they brought to the table: @sakshimiishra Has a strong eye for meta-trends and the confidence to form original, unconventional theses around them. She thinks independently, writes with clarity, and brings creative depth (she’s also the mind behind the recent cartoon series on our timeline). She’d be a great fit for roles across research & content strategy. @oxwizzdom Turns data into insight. Spots trends early, breaks them down with rigor, and communicates them with simplicity. Methodical, consistent, and deeply curious, the kind of researcher every team wants around. He’d thrive in roles involving data-driven research. We highly recommend them both! If you’re hiring for research or analyst roles, feel free to drop a DM.

I’m excited to launch today: 0xPPL 2.0 - something I’ve poured a lot of my life energy into. It’s a crypto superapp for all things onchain. I previously co-founded Rippling.com (worth $10B+), a B2B SaaS superapp. 0xPPL is backed by top angels including, @balajis @alliancedao @peakxvpartners @anagramxyz @wagmi_vc @Decentralisedco @Joel_john @toly @rajgokal @sreeramkannan @akshaybd @sandeepnailwal @Hassan_NY @suji_yan @aniket_jindal08 Web3 is the future of the internet and the trends on these are strong, measured by growth in number of users, revenues, chains or apps. The biggest problem in crypto today is fragmentation. That the users' funds get dispersed and stuck inside these apps across diff chains. The user has to navigate so many diff websites, such as bridges and swap pages to be able to manage his funds and it’s easy to lose track of. 0xPPL is here to solve that. We index all the blockchains and locate your assets not only inside of the chain, but also inside of smart contracts. We are a full fledged wallet where you can see and manage these funds in one place. No more thinking about gas per chain - we run a gas tank for you. To allow you to withdraw/unstake your funds from within a smart contract, we use LLMs to generate AI adaptors - thankfully crypto is open-source and easy to simulate – LLMs are getting great at interacting with these open back-ends. Crypto is a very fast moving space and most teams here build something quick and see if it sticks. We deliberately take the opposite approach - to lay out deep engineering on the longer term future vs trying to catch the next narrative. The fragmentation of chains and apps is only going to explode. A universal front-end is both very useful and also for the first time possible due to the intersection of LLM code generation and open crypto backend rails. 0xPPL is a wallet, a portfolio tracker, a bridge, an app store, a community and so much more.
