@0xTimepunk @aave Congrats!

Excited to share that I've joined @aave as a Principal Smart Contracts Engineer. Aave is the protocol that defined what DeFi lending could be — and continues to push the boundaries of what's possible on-chain. Being part of a team building at this scale and impact is something I don't take lightly. I'm ready for this next chapter: new challenges, a world-class team, and the chance to contribute to a protocol that many depend on. Let's build!

DeFi has been a UX nightmare: hundreds of chains, gas fees, and endless swaps. 🤯 Former BlockTower investor turned @Superformxyz co-founder tells @livingwithwill (@realmotioninc) it took 4 years of infra building to finally make a DeFi mobile app a normal person can use. 📱

blake is hands down one of the best builders this industry has ever seen

After 9 years of working professionally in crypto, I finally have my own token. I’ve worked with my co-founder @vik_runa for 6 years and @TheBlockDaddy for 4. Most founders have 4 years in the industry, 6 co-founders and 9 tokens. Proud to be different.

If Superform wins, two things will be true: 1) You'll use onchain products without knowing it and without giving up anything to an intermediary 2) Every asset you own will exist and be productive onchain. $UP is how you bet on that future. Tokens have been down only because of a lack of transparency, regulatory clarity, and value capture to decentralized protocols. Today we're also launching our Transparency Dashboard with full visibility into operations, token distribution, and roadmap: transparency.superform.xyz The new banking stack shouldn't be owned by JP Morgan. It shouldn't be owned by Robinhood. It won't be owned by Superform either. It'll be owned by the individuals that use it governed by those who hold $UP. To show this commitment to user ownership we have given out no tokens to any centralized exchange. You can view our full disclosures here: superformfoundation.org/up-disclosures We’ve toiled to build a permissionless protocol and cross-platform app on top that stays true to what we believe in. It solves the biggest thing wrong with crypto right now: a lack of decentralized products superior to their centralized counterparts that can also be sustainable businesses that solve real issues for real people. To everyone who has been with us in supporting this mission, instead of ending with another UP only, "It ain't about how hard you can hit. It's about how hard you can get hit." Bring it on.

In recent weeks, several industry leaders have publicly announced they are “quitting crypto,” claiming the space has “lost its way” because of memecoins, speculative cycles, or “better opportunities elsewhere.” That explanation sounds reasonable, until you look closer. The version of crypto they claim to miss was not an era where we banked millions of people, enabled financial escape for those under oppressive regimes, or delivered a truly uncensorable global financial system at scale. It was largely an era where narratives were easy to sell and prices rose faster than products matured, where hopes and dreams could be packaged, marketed, and rewarded regardless of execution. So the real question is not whether the industry has lost its way. The real question is how much of the original mission we have actually accomplished. How many people are meaningfully banked because of what we built? How many individuals in sanctioned or unstable regions are reliably using these systems for financial freedom? Do we yet operate a global, censorship-resistant financial computer serving hundreds of millions of users? The honest answer is that the hard work is still ahead of us. When short-term participants leave, it can look like decline. In reality, it often marks the beginning of the serious phase, when builders who were never here for cycles, attention, or easy upside step forward to do the difficult, unglamorous work required to make the technology matter. To the cypherpunk builders who stay, and to the investors who still believe the mission is unfinished, the future of this industry will not be decided by those who exit during difficult chapters, but by those who remain and build through them.

Quick weekend word to all those affected in the market drawdown and volatility. No matter how challenging or difficult it gets Or how much you lost Or how much you may see others claiming to win on the timeline Or the rising chorus of market critics saying 'Crypto is done' Crypto is here to stay. We are more bullish than ever for crypto. The cockroaches will win. Be a cockroach and outlast the speculators, tourists and traders that lose faith. You can win if you hold the line and compound long term. Protocols that build for longevity, for PMF and scale, for ownership and coordination, for security & transparency, will win. We're tired of seeing retail lose, tired of market manipulation, tired of lazy codes and smart contracts, tired of community theater, tired of short termism, tired of seeing centralized players eat into the onchain economy. Building the user owned neobank, for everyone to win, longterm. That's what we're built for. It's time to win. Together. Up only

@RanginuiVenture @superformxyz - pay gas fees in the app - required by managers to run vault strategies - required to stake by validators for PPS updates - directs protocol rewards - and yes, governance

@blakechains @superformxyz What’s the utility of the token?l other than governance?

Some reflections on the upcoming @superformxyz token launch, in what’s looking like one of the worst market we’ve seen in years. Billions in value has been destroyed by the industry because the cycle of raising on a hot narrative and launching a token all prior to launching a product was too easy. Why was it too easy? Cheap capital from ZIRP. A global hypergambling zeitgeist to “escape the permanent underclass.” Smart money focused on marginal infrastructure innovation instead of acquiring new users. Many, many reasons. Superform has taken a different approach. Since founding in 2022, we’ve focused on building real sustainable products that benefit the end user. In 2023 -2024, this looked like a yield marketplace. Something with undeniable value we delivered to over 150,000 users. In 2025, we realized the larger vision of building a non-custodial bank-alternative. A “neobank” that didn’t push users to gamble their savings away. That doesn’t have dark patterns or hidden fees. One that breaks the pattern of abuse in both crypto and finance. Looking into to the rest of 2026, I couldn’t be happier with the decisions we’ve made along the way. We have an app live in the US App Store that lets people save their money with rates better than any bank. We have vault infrastructure securing millions in deposits and have had zero exploits to date. All without compromising our values of doing what’s best for the user. In 2026, we will do many things but I’m happy to say the Superform token will be live after we shipped a real product, with real users, and a real business to back it up. Superform.
