Some personal news: I've joined the @VeryAI business development team. After years on both sides of crypto, capital markets at GSR and building a Layer 1 at Gear, one thing became obvious. Every market runs on trust, and the future belongs to systems that can prove it. My thesis: authenticity is becoming the internet's most important currency. Not a feature, a category of its own. Social platforms are drowning in bots. AI agents transact on your behalf and are about to outnumber humans online. Payments still treat identity as a checkbox. Proving you're human is becoming as fundamental as proving you have the means to transact. Every platform is about to face the same question: How do you know your users are real? The ones with the best answer will win. @VeryAI is building exactly that. Excited to get to work.

VeryAI has raised $10M to build human verification for the age of AI. We are building the infrastructure to distinguish real humans from bots, deepfakes, and synthetic identities at internet scale. Why does proving you’re real online matter more than ever? 🧵

Today we’re announcing the $57M acquisitions of Autonomous and Architech. Advisory, liquidity, and capital markets infrastructure are disconnected services that operate in silos. Through our acquisition of Autonomous and Architech, we're changing that. gsr.io/insights/gsr-a…

Something I was thinking about today: Life theoretically has an asymmetric payoff structure since birth, and having this perspective makes you realize that just by being alive, you're already making a profit.
