Four Junes in Lisbon and I still can't explain Santos Populares to friends visiting. Attaching some evidences tho. What's happening in a few words: 🧜🏾‍♂️ Santos Populares - the June festivals for the "popular saints". Santo António for Lisbon, São João for Porto, São Pedro for the fishing towns at the end of the month. ⛺️ Every neighborhood builds an arraial - a street party whose name comes from the old word for a military encampment. Accurate, because entire neighborhoods turn into partying fortresses overnight. 🐟 The sardines matter more than you think. June is when they're at their fattest, right before spawning. Eaten on a slice of bread, sometimes on a plate, no cutlery. There are rules. 💒 Santo António is the matchmaker saint, so Lisbon literally marries people in his name. Casamentos de Santo António - mass weddings paid for by the city hall, a tradition running since 1958. 🌿 And instead of flowers you give a manjerico - a tiny basil pot with a paper carnation and a deliberately cheesy four-line poem. You don't smell it directly, you brush it with your hand. 👯 Best arraias imo: Alfama and Graça for the full chaos, Mouraria for the local feel, Bica if you want to drink ginjinha on a 45 degree hill. I didn't grow up with any of this and I won't pretend four visits makes me feel it. But some traditions are generous enough to let outsiders in, and this is one of them. Love you, 🇵🇹 Anyone up for 🐟?

Running a Canton node is not a side project. Most institutions discover that too late. After go-live, someone owns uptime, failover, monitoring, upgrades, and protocol alignment - around the clock. CatalyX Blockchain Manager handles it. Self-serve or fully managed. Explore it: catalyx.solutions/catalyx-blockc… 2.0 update coming soon 👀

quadrillions.

life lately

@TimHaldorsson It's Santos Populares, but you can't go through it without smelling sardinhas 🤍

@bohdaoo some people got a little angry that I called it the Sardines festival and not santos populares 😂

These festivals are part of my life for the 4th year already Fat tasty sardines and great vibes 🇵🇹 🤝

@allodev my fav place for this is Graça

The vibes in Lisbon going to be insane tonight 👀

@CantonNetwork @7RIDGE1 Enjoyed the discussion 🤝

Canton's identity layer connects verified institutional credentials to network participation. 7Trust binds real-world identity to a Canton Party ID, with DNS credentials live today. @bohdaoo sits down with Sophia Grami of @7RIDGE1 to discuss the trust layer for Canton.

A BLOCKCHAIN WITH $475,000 LOCKED IS OUT-EARNING ETHEREUM. BY A MILE. 🇺🇸 Canton has almost no TVL. Yet it booked $65,000,000 in fees last month. More than Tron. More than Ethereum. How? It isn't running retail DeFi. It's running Wall Street's back office. Broadridge settles roughly $400 billion in daily repo on it. JPMorgan is bringing JPM Coin native. DTCC is tokenizing US Treasuries on it. TVL measures crypto speculation. Canton measures institutional volume. That's why it's on my watchlist as a blue chip for the next cycle.

@kritikakodes kritiq

I need a startup name that sounds like it just raised $10M.🤔

@casapiara looks cool, I'd join!

If you're a developer/designer/something in between, come co-work or have a drink with us after 5. Every Friday in Lisbon.

You can't issue a loan to a Party ID. That's the problem Sophia Grami, and the team at @7RIDGE1 set out to close. 🎙️The new Canton Insiders is out. Sophia joined @bohdaoo to talk about 7Trust, the trust and identity layer for @CantonNetwork - live today with DNS credentials and a roadmap into more types. A Party ID identifies a node. It doesn't tell you which institution sits behind it. For a bank settling on Canton, that's not a small gap. 7Trust closes it by binding a verified real-world identity to a Canton Party ID. We also get into how C7 runs a Super Validator while building the product, and why privacy and identity aren't in tension on Canton. 👉 Watch/listen in 🧵

What should we announce this week?
