The biggest marketmap on the Solana ecosystem has to be this one. Check out the thread! (URL to explorer, report, and full-res map inside) ->

TGS11 is live. The Grid now records where a product actually operates, not just where the company registered. A company in Singapore can serve South-East Asia and the Middle East. A company in the UAE can be Africa-first. Country of registration never told you that. Country support does. Two things shipped. SupportsCountries links each product to the markets it serves. Query by country or by UN M49 region, so "products in Sub-Saharan Africa" works as a single clean query. gridRank.ranking replaces a score that climbed forever with a simple 1, 2, 3 chart position. Both are live and queryable today. If you run a directory, you can filter by geography now. If you have a claimed profile, add your countries in the admin. If you build on the API, the schema is at tgs.thegrid.id. Full article here: about.thegrid.id/resources/tgs1…

Stablecoin Insider partners with @TheGridData to launch the largest stablecoin directory, mapping infrastructure, fintech platforms, and products across the ecosystem. The Stablecoin Insider Directory is our early attempt to organise the stablecoin adoption landscape into a clear, searchable system. By combining Stablecoin Insider’s market coverage with The Grid’s ecosystem metadata infrastructure, the directory is positioned to become the default research and discovery layer for anyone building with, investing in, or analyzing stablecoins. The directory is now publicly accessible and will continue to expand as new companies and products enter the market. Access it at directory.stablecoininsider.org

AI agents keep getting more capable. But most still pull from noisy, unstructured, or bad sources for Web3 data. They scrape documentation pages, hallucinate protocol details, or fall back on training data months out of date. That gap creates real problems.

I've spent 2 years building @TheGridData but not enough time sharing the thinking behind it. That changes today. This is the first in a series of posts about what we're doing at The Grid and why it matters. Starting with: why the most important data should move slowly. 🔗 about.thegrid.id/resources/hold… The world is changing faster than ever. AI is evolving, society is shifting, and economies are transforming. It's a lot. But the stuff that actually matters, the information that powers our lives, moves slowly. And that's how it should be! At The Grid, we’re all about slow data. We move deliberately, build with intention, and prioritise stability over hype. We’re not resisting change: we’re making sure our foundations are solid, transparent, and trustworthy. Our belief in transparency is why, in January, we released an open data set under the ODbL. When the information we need to hear clearly is drowned out by the static of fast-paced feeds and attention-draining algorithms, we're not benefitting from the increased access to knowledge afforded by the internet. We're just stuck in a deafening room, with no hope of hearing what's true or not. The future of the ecosystem can only be built on the backs of tortoises, not hares. At The Grid, we’re making data good again: providing accurate, unbiased, actionable data. But this requires care, context, and systems that prioritise integrity. Good data shouldn’t be locked behind walls. That’s why The Grid provides open data via. API & TGDS: making it accessible, auditable, and ready to power whatever you’re building. Because when you need data, it should be available instantly in the places you already use. For a society to function well, it needs good data. It’s the foundation of informed decision-making, accountable systems, and trustworthy interactions. And in this rapidly changing world, it’s the only map that will stop us getting lost. We all want to optimise our workflows, but every company using AI to scrape the internet for scraps of information is not a long-term solution. Who is going to be the actual publisher and stand by the statements made? Despite the deceptive efficiency of automation, this is the least efficient way of solving the data transparency problem. 👀 If you think moving slowly means out of date, reach out and see what we're really building ;)

The Grid is a proud partner of @ProofofTalk 2026. Proof of Talk is the Davos of Web3, gathering 2,500 senior decision-makers in Digital Assets each year at the Louvre Palace. This June, we are opening a unique invitation to the top 1,000 among them. The 1,000 Minds That Matter cohort brings together the individuals whose decisions shape the future of finance, technology, and decentralized infrastructure, for two days of closed-room dialogue, strategic exchange, and high-signal programming. Nominate someone you know → #nominate" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">minds.proofoftalk.io/#nominate Apply for yourself → #apply" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">minds.proofoftalk.io/#apply Founding Cohort closes April 25.

🚨 Holy shxt… The rules of AI image generation just completely changed. A GPT-based model currently testing in the arena under the bizarre name 'duct-tape' is turning the global AI community upside down. What exactly did they feed this thing? → Native-level text generation with zero awkwardness. → Chilling consistency maintained down to the pixel. → Overwhelming illustration quality ready for immediate commercial use. "Is it just downloading photos from the internet?" That was every tester's first reaction. It's that unbelievable. A game-changer that instantly crumbles Nano Banana Pro's dominance has arrived. A lot of people might need to start packing their desks again. The 10 images below were 100% drawn by AI. See for yourself 🧵

The lesson is simple: data infrastructure must operate on neutral principles, or it becomes a weapon. You can't have trustless systems built on top of opaque information. It doesn’t stack properly. Neutrality isn't a marketing position. It's a structural requirement. about.thegrid.id/resources/the-…

Bad ecosystem data compounds. One wrong categorization shapes a flawed market map. That map drives decisions that can work against your ecosystem. Off-chain data quality deserves the same rigor as on-chain data.

We just released Claude Code channels, which allows you to control your Claude Code session through select MCPs, starting with Telegram and Discord. Use this to message Claude Code directly from your phone.

anthropic’s openclaw-killer is complete. fucking crazy what they’ve shipped in 4 weeks: - texting claude code - 10,000s of claude skills + MCP - Claude security (autonomous bug-fixer) - persistent memory (claude never forgets) - channels (text claude from telegram) - autonomous cron-jobs - 1M context window - new model (opus, sonnet) - 30+ plug-ins that’ve tanked stocks - remote control just insane fucking levels of execution.

fuck me china just launched the 1st AI model that autonomously built itself... and its as good as claude opus 4.6 and gpt-5.4 - minimax M2.7 trained itself through 100+ rounds of autonomous self-improvement. 30% gain. No humans involved - what the actual f*ck - model now handles 30-50% of the AI lab's OWN AI research - beats gemini 3.1 at coding and pretty much matches opus 4.6 + gpt 5.4 😶 (china used to lag now they match - doesn't require crazy hardware to run (single a30 gpu) - absolutely CRUSHES tasks: financial modelling, coding, openclaw - one-shotted the chinese have officially caught up. self-improving ai is a real thing. all researchers did was set an objective and the model figured the rest out. i wasn't expecting this from minimax. im now wondering wtf deepseek is going to be like.

Just generalized this old repo so it now loads all of our data from @TheGridData I really hope someone builds something fun like this with our data + pricing + onchain data...

Just joined the DTIF Product Advisory Committee. DTI = ISO 24165. A global standard for identifying fungible digital tokens. The FCA, OECD, and US IRS are already using it. Next step: getting DTI into The Grid.

@jpknegtel Big step! Now let's get it into The Grid 🫡

Until now, getting a clear rating of a stablecoin meant leaving the tools you already use and doing your own research. Now you can pull @bluechip_org via our API and inside our recently updated discover homepage! Read about it here: about.thegrid.id/resources/the-…

@bluechip_org @TheGridData One less tab. Bluechip ratings live on The Grid!

Bluechip ratings are live on @TheGridData, an ecosystem intelligence platform for web3. The Grid tracks projects, tokens, products – offering solutions that deliver actionable insights. Bluechip ratings now appear directly on issuer profiles. No separate tabs or extra research.

Gemini 3.1 just reunited me with a cartoon from my childhood that I've spent more than a decade hunting for. This is the first time an LLM was able to identify it, and in one shot!

@paoloardoino A Roomba that converts dust into USDT?

👀

Proud to share the launch of our newest mapping, V1 of the @tether Directory at usdt.directory, powered by The Grid, one of the most used ecosystems in Web3. We've had over 100 requests since it went live! Here's some context: about.thegrid.id/resources/teth…
