A personal update After 3 years at @safe as VP of Growth, I’m joining @kydlabs to lead protocol and growth for @tixprotocol. Safe was an exceptional run. I had the privilege to drive various fronts from token launch to monetization from zero to $10M+, building teams through growth and holding the line when the going got tough. To the team, our investors, partners and everyone who built alongside us, thank you for the trust and for building something that genuinely matters. You'll always find me in your corner. So what’s next? Here's my thesis: 2026 is the year crypto has to prove it solves real problems outside of its comfort zone. The projects that win won't be building solely for other crypto projects. They'll be building for industries that don't even know what we're talking about. Two years ago I met @KYDNimale at Medici and he said something I couldn't stop thinking about: "Ticketing platforms are banks." At first it sounded like a provocation. It wasn't. Because the largest markets are hiding in plain sight. In industries that don't call themselves finance. Ticketing is one of them. Venues and artists receive massive upfront $$$ advances from ticketing companies in exchange for multi-year exclusive contracts. In return, ticketing companies add 30%+ in service fees on every ticket sold. This is effectively interest paid by fans on capital advanced to venues. Today, this private credit market is opaque and controlled by a handful of incumbents like Ticketmaster. KYD is making it accessible and investable with TIX. More on this soon. If you've been thinking about where crypto meets the real economy, I want to hear from you. DMs open.
Today, we're excited to announce Tally's Series A funding of $8 million to scale the software layer for onchain organizations and help protocol tokens accrue value. What began as a DAO governance tool has evolved into the most widely adopted software stack for onchain organizations. Tally powers infrastructure for leading organizations across Ethereum and Solana — including @arbitrum, @Uniswap DAO, @zksync, @wormhole, @eigencloud, @Obol_Collective, and many more. With over 1 million active users and $1 billion moved using our tools, winning teams use Tally to support every phase of their onchain journey: • Launch: distribute tokens and onboard users • Operate: manage treasuries and govern protocols • Grow: accrue value and create token utility Tally launched in 2020. We are grateful to have built through the ups and downs of the last 5 years, and we haven't been on this journey alone. We want to thank our users, partners, and investors including: @AppWorks, @1kxnetwork, @blockchaincap, @cyberfund, @placeholdervc, @BitGo, @Lemniscap, @CastleIslandVC, and @bloccelerate. Tally is building the future of software onchain. To learn more about how we can help your organization, please reach out. We would love to chat.

Ethereum Foundation Treasury Update The Ethereum Foundation (@ethereumfndn) has set up a new @safe 3-of-5 multisig wallet. The wallet address is 0x9fC3dc011b461664c835F2527fffb1169b3C213e An op has been initiated to send 50,000 ETH there, but be patient; due to signing delays, this will take a few days to process (etherscan.io/tx/0x6872c97c5…) The EF will use this new wallet to participate in the DeFi ecosystem. We've made a testing tx on @aave. Stay tuned! Also, @safe has proven safe and has a great user experience, and we will transfer more of our funds here over time! #helloworldcomputer
