bulk at 34k followers. we're approaching mainnet, so i wanted to remind you guys that the most competetive perps dex (an actual dex, bc its decentralized) is coming to mainnet very soon. i am super bullish on the team, and the product too. seems like not only have they nailed the engineering part of things with the network, but the product itself is great with unique features (like subaccounts) that you don't often see on other perps dexes. i am confident in their ability to execute. sol is at a discount, so getting exposure to bulk now via bulksol is a no brainer for killing two birds with one stone.

Proud of the @SuperteamBLKN presence in the video Would call them the best events team in the space, but what they do is a lot more than “events” Congrats to the whole team

Claude Opus 4.7 now argues with you when you’re wrong and runs complex projects for hours unsupervised. AI isn’t just getting smarter. It’s getting opinionated. The better these models get, the harder they are to evaluate. Unless humans are in the loop.

Roughly 96% of enterprises are already running AI agents. Only 21% have a governance model to match. This is the most dangerous gap in tech right now. Palo Alto Networks just showed how a red-team agent got a financial copilot to execute a $900 withdrawal. No exploit. No breach. Just clever reframing. Agents don’t get hacked. They get persuaded. OWASP’s Q2 2026 landscape report names the top threats: prompt injection, agent privilege escalation, data poisoning, hallucination drift. These aren’t theoretical. They’re happening in production. Last week's AI Red & Blue Team Summit proved the point. Day 1: exploit live LLM workflows. Day 2: build detection rules. The threat is real. The industry is waking up to it. That's why the participation layer exists. Humans adversarially testing AI before it ships, not once, not on a schedule, but live and continuous. Red-teaming shouldn’t be a line item. It should be infrastructure.

Perplexity shipped an AI agent that lives on your Mac full-time. It works across local files, apps, and the web. Agents aren’t coming. They’re moving in. Who’s testing what they do when no one’s watching?

Beyond excited for @GoogleQuantumAI‘s roadmap and most importantly a big thank you to Benjamin for taking the time to talk with me about the broader landscape of Quantum Computing and his work in the classical simulation of quantum systems, QEC, and tensor-network simulations.

Picked up a few of these Signal Geometry. I think they’re cool & I’ve enjoyed seeing art on the TL again.

Machi is Back: Up $2 Million in 24 Hours Machi Big Brother is up $2.15 million trading crypto perps, now up to a total balance of $4 Million. Machi is up over $1 Million on both his BTC and ETH trades - but he’s still down over $70 Million since September last year. Will he make it back?

@KillianLync 🥂

Met up with @CEO_NOTAI for dinner🤝

Excited to be speaking at @CryptoMondaysNY tonight with @loukerner! We’ll be talking about @SplyceFi and the unlocking of institutional assets for DeFi! @Crypt0Mondays @PubKey luma.com/26e8spec

Andreessen Horowitz (@a16zcrypto) is one of the most well-known venture capital funds in the crypto space. According to data from @coingecko, the market capitalization of tokens in the "a16z Portfolio" category currently stands at around $389 billion, driven largely by the strong presence of major projects like $ETH, $SOL, and $AVAX. However, we’ve noticed that some tokens in their portfolio remain undervalued compared to their true potential and role in the ecosystem. Here are 4 projects that clearly demonstrate this: 1/ @Aptos A16z investment: Lead Series A round in 2022 with $150M invested (total round size $200M). Comparison with #Near and #Sui: Aptos stands out due to its large volume of stablecoin transfers, which indicates real network activity. In terms of speed, Aptos is almost on par with Sui, and in some blockchain metrics, it even outperforms it. However, Aptos' market capitalization is only about ~$700M, while Near and Sui are significantly more valued. 2/ @LidoFinance A16z invested $70M in 2022 (one of the major investments in liquid staking). Comparison with @eigencloud (EIGEN), @ether_fi, @renzoai: Lido currently holds around $19B in TVL and remains the largest liquid staking protocol on Ethereum with a dominant market share. At the same time, restaking projects like EigenLayer, EthFi, and Renzo have gained much more attention, leading to higher valuations despite the fact that their TVL and actual role still don’t surpass Lido’s. 3/ @Optimism A16z invested $90M in $OP tokens in its 2024 private funding round. Comparison with @arbitrum: OP boasts a powerful OP Stack technology, but it currently lags behind Arbitrum in terms of TVL and popularity. The market capitalization of OP is only around ~$230M, which is much lower compared to other leading Layer 2 solutions (L2). 4/ @AleoHQ A16z led a $28M Series A round in 2021. Comparison with @zama and @Zcash: Aleo is one of the first privacy-focused projects, specializing in zero-knowledge applications. Recently, $ZAMA and $ZEC have attracted more attention, leading to higher valuations, even though Aleo has a much stronger technical foundation from the outset. In our view, many tokens in a16z's portfolio are currently undervalued because: The narratives either haven’t arrived yet or have already faded (L2, privacy). The market tends to focus more on short-term hype rather than on fundamental factors. The bear market is compressing valuations. This is not investment advice. DYOR.

⚡️Notable Funding Rounds of the Past Week: @bitnomial - $550M @Payward - $200M @DriftProtocol - $148M @slashapp - $100M @ZenGo - $70M @getspektr - $20M @paxoslabs - $12M $1.1B+ raised in top 7 rounds this week.

If this wasn't already clear this program is *not* by @HyperliquidX This is a collaborative effort between several individuals, funds, infrastructure providers, and protocols like @Kinetiq_xyz Already several millions of dollars in interest in backing strong products/teams

It doesn't stop there. An ORE/stORE market has just been deployed on Omnipair ⛏️
