Excited to finally announce that with the recent acquisition, @nucleusearn is now Paxos Labs! Previously... Looking back, crypto in the beginning was purely a theoretical exercise—decentralized governance delivering economic freedom to the unbanked. Sounded too good to be true. But with every step in the industry, it only became more material. At Terraform Labs, I got to see global DeFi adoption firsthand. At Blockchain Capital, I met the builders pushing the frontiers of ZK and DeFi research. It was clear that crypto combined the best of finance and tech and attracted the brightest minds to learn from. And with the simple belief that all of finance is inevitably coming onchain. @ChundaMcCain and I doubled down and created Molecular Labs. At @nucleusearn, we focused on building structured products that offer differentiated yield for crypto investors of varying risk profiles. The mandate was to deliver frontier DeFi integrations from the early days of Ethereum to cutting edge innovations on Hyperliquid. This was fun. Building in the DeFi trenches was what we signed up for. But it was clear that there was a natural ceiling to the capital sloshing around the markets. The same whales, LPs, and mercenary capital rotating from one token deal to the next. We were looking for ways to grow the entire pie. While many screamed from the rooftops about “onboarding the masses”, it was much easier said than done. The Next Step: When we met the Paxos team, we rallied around the idea that DeFi must scale via global distribution channels. Every business that touches money is now going on this journey. Stablecoins first, DeFi is next. This journey begins wherever users bank—from crypto native dapps, fintechs, neobanks, to large consumer banks that will inevitably shift. Combining Paxos’s $120B+ track record in trusted tokenization infrastructure and the Nucleus team’s DeFi expertise, we are uniquely equipped to tackle this problem of delivering the E2E onchain transformation for global enterprises. We are now starting that journey as Paxos Labs. The mission is to scale access to DeFi, and we’re squarely focused on mass adoption. If you are interested in what we are doing, please reach out! And a huge shoutout to the team that makes it happen. @0xDuckworth @dashanmccain @0x_carson @jpickett713 @mroddy5280 @0xTrojanhorse @anjaliegeorge and all others who are too busy building to be posting!

We had a rollout plan. The market had other ideas. Sometimes opportunities show up when least expected, but we pulled out the stops, executed fast, and showed what we can bring to the table. But we realized that we didn’t get the chance to introduce ourselves. Paxos Labs is the enterprise-grade infrastructure platform powering the next era of onchain finance. Financial platforms across the world are constrained by legacy financial rails systems that are costly, slow, and limited in scope. As these platforms look to upgrade their underlying infrastructure, they can turn to Paxos Labs to guide them in their blockchain journey, from stablecoins to full onchain market access. Backed by @Paxos's $120B+ track record in tokenization and regulatory expertise and trusted by enterprises like PayPal, Venmo, Mastercard, Nubank, Interactive Brokers, and more we extend proven infrastructure into a full product suite that unlocks utility, yield, and liquidity for platforms and their users. With Paxos Labs, enterprises can take the step beyond stablecoin issuance and acceptance to deliver full onchain financial experiences for their users from branded stablecoin creation, to servicing yield on stablecoins, integrating compliant money markets, and more. Our mission for enterprises is to enable them to own more of their economics, facilitate growth through innovation, and future-proof their business by delivering safe and utility-driven onchain experiences to their end-users. Building the rails you can rely on, and the products that make them matter. Paxos Labs is where the future of onchain finance is built, customized, and scaled. Start your onchain journey with Paxos Labs.

Excited to announce the launch of @paxoslabs, the Amplify product stack, and our strategic fundraise led by @bcap When I started my career in FinTech over a decade ago @Square. It was an era of incredible innovation, it became clear that while the frontends were going mobile-first and becoming more accessible, the underlying financial rails were due for an upgrade. That perspective brought me to @Paxos, where we helped platforms get started with digital assets, whether that was stablecoin issuance, custody or embedded crypto trading. As more platforms took this first step, we started thinking about what comes next. What started to become obvious to us was that stablecoins and digital assets were not just new payments or investments instruments. They were becoming a platform to build on. We're building Paxos Labs to help platforms create the next generation of financial products on blockchain rails.

Today, we @paxoslabs officially launch Amplify: the financial utility stack for digital assets. Every platform to date that has invested in enabling users to hold digital assets is now confronting the same strategic reality: Asset custody is not the product, it is just the starting point. The first era of digital finance was about access. @Paxos spent over a decade building the enterprise rails that brought digital assets to the world; $180B+ in issuance activity, OCC and MAS regulatory approvals, and infrastructure powering PayPal, Mastercard, Stripe, Robinhood, and dozens of the world's largest financial institutions. That chapter is largely complete. The next one is beginning. The platforms that define the next decade of finance will be distinguished by what they built on top of those assets, for their users and for their business. Amplify is the infrastructure we built to close that gap. A single integration. Three live modules. Earn: Embed institutional-grade yield on digital assets directly into your platform. Borrow: Integrate digital asset-backed credit markets with automated collateral management and institutional compliance controls. Mint: Issue a fully branded digital dollar complete ownership of your platform economics, and every operational complexity handled at the infrastructure level. Built for enterprise scale, with each module independently configurable and programmatic revenue sharing built into the architecture from day one. If you lead a payment company, exchange, neobank, fintech, or financial institution with a digital asset mandate, reach out! We have taken the first step together as an industry, we are excited for the rest of the journey to come.

A stablecoin built to grow your platform. Too often stablecoins fragment liquidity and excludes value from the apps that general real volume and demand for onchain products. With USDG0 every platform gets shared economic ownership and upside in the entire ecosystem’s growth. Excited to share more products built on USDG0.

After an incredible journey building out what came to be @paxoslabs, it’s time for me to take a leap into the next chapter. From the early days of @nucleusearn → @paxoslabs First of all, this wouldn't be possible without all the lessons and challenges I experienced with @JunKim831 and @ChundaMcCain. Couldn't be more grateful for the opportunities they've given me! Some highlights I’m proud of along the way 👇 - Leading governance @franklin_dao into one of the most active + profitable committees - Working on @UniswapFND DAO Treasury + Accountability Committees (shoutout the recent fee switch proposal) - Joining Molecular Labs as the first hire - Underwriting slashing risk & designing new leverage looping primitives for LRTs/LSTs - Vault curation, management, and risk frameworks @nucleusearn - Pioneering work on @HyperliquidX and @looping_col (LHYPE, WHLP) - Helping drive the USDH proposal effort @paxoslabs Additionally I'd like to shoutout the team that made it all happen: @dashanmccain @0x_carson @jpickett713 @mroddy5280 @anjaliegeorge and everyone else that helped me grow in this journey... Next up: I'm building credit infrastructure for trade finance + tokenized receivables alongside @anmol0x. We're both very bullish on stablecoin acceleration and onboarding exogenous forms of yield to DeFi through stablecoins and RWAs⚡ Slowly we'll begin to spill alpha on our findings and divulge the grand vision, but for now we're heads down, back in the trenches. Please don't hesitate to reach out via DM for any interest or inquiries!

After the recent acquisition of @nucleusearn I’m excited to join @paxoslabs as part of the Growth + DeFi team! A quick backstory on the journey that got me here alongside the rest of my team 👇 I'm a recent Math Econ grad from @Penn ('25), where I dove headfirst into crypto leading Governance initiatives @franklin_dao from a first principles perspective in DAOs like @UniswapFND, Compound and @aave. What started as curiosity about DeFi, DAOs, coordination, and the game theory around it all turned into building @nucleusearn with my colleagues and exploring early ecosystems like @HyperliquidX. During this time we honed our skills, built our network, and worked on a lot of interesting primitives helping shape our approach to current initiatives like providing tokenized yield offerings for users and bootstrapping liquidity for these offerings to support DeFi utility. Some of the work I’m most proud of on our end is @looping_col Along this journey we definitely noticed some gaps. Notably: enterprises need reliable, compliant infrastructure to truly participate without the risks. That's why I'm thrilled to be building with @paxoslabs! @paxoslabs is bringing institutional-grade infrastructure to market, giving platforms the tools to issue their own stablecoins, tap into compliant DeFi markets, and unlock new revenue streams with confidence. Backed by @Paxos’s $120B+ track record, @paxoslabs is here to help enterprises move beyond access to full onchain financial experiences. Huge shoutout to the team that helps to make it all happen: @JunKim831 @ChundaMcCain @dashanmccain @0x_carson @jpickett713 @mroddy5280 @0xTrojanhorse @anjaliegeorge and all others who are too busy building to be posting. I'll be focused on driving growth initiatives in DeFi: - Partnering with platforms to integrate our tools - Exploring new markets and primitives like @HyperliquidX - Turning complex ideas into actionable strategies that create real value. If you're interested in working together, let's connect—DMs open!

Now that the cat is out of the bag, I’m excited to officially announce that we’ve been acquired @nucleusearn to lead the newest initiative in the Paxos family, @paxoslabs! I will be joining as one of the co-founders of the new initiative, alongside @JunKim831 and @bhau___. My inspiration for working in crypto began when I asked myself why my grandfather, who was a business owner freshly immigrated to the US, wasn’t able to access the same financial rails that I saw were available to so many others around me. At that moment, the vision for crypto and DeFi instantly clicked for me. The freedom to bring any financial product to life, for anyone in the world, with no barriers to entry was a dream come to life. With that dream came a conviction, a vision that it was inevitable that the global financial market would eventually settle onchain. And so when the opportunity came knocking to help lead @paxoslabs, it was a no-brainer. Paxos has been at the forefront of crypto innovation on the global stage for over a decade, working with the largest enterprises in the world to help them take their first step into the crypto ecosystem. With more entering the market by the day, we recognize that the first step will not be enough. Our goal at Paxos Labs is to support the entire enterprise journey in creating crypto-powered experiences. With Paxos Labs, enterprises can take the step beyond stablecoin issuance and acceptance to deliver full onchain financial experiences for their users. From branded stablecoins to creating compliant money markets, servicing yield on stablecoins, and more, we’ll be there every step of the way. If you’re interested in learning more about how to empower your enterprise with onchain financial infrastructure or if you’re in crypto ecosystem already and looking to partner with us, please feel free to reach out! And finally, a massive shoutout to everyone who has been with us on the journey since we started. From my illustrious co-founder @JunKim831 to our earliest investors to the team that has helped make this all happen, I’m eternally grateful to you all and I am looking forward to bringing everyone together on the next step of our journey!

We were forced to announce this a little early with the whole $USDH bid, but now it's official. I'm happy to announce that I'm now officially the Smart Contract Engineer for @paxoslabs 🥳🎉🥳🎉 I'm sure many of you guys know Paxos by now, it's got a $120B (with a B) track record in crypto already. But Paxos Labs acqui-hired us in order to help with what comes beyond issuing a stablecoin. At Paxos Labs we'll be building out tools for platforms to get their users deeper into crypto and unlocking more of it's possibilities. The wild west of DeFi is getting settled my friends. And at Paxos Labs we're building the railroad. We'll be breaking our back in the hot desert sun every day to lay the track that brings the benefits of secure, fast, transparent finance to everyone's phone and 'puter. Paxosio.

After more than two years of building with the same team, through industry shifts and multiple evolutions, from @ionprotocol to @nucleusearn, I’m proud to share that we’ve now entered our next chapter post-acquisition as part of @paxoslabs! Now our mission is clear: bring institutional-grade infrastructure to market and make blockchain rails accessible to enterprises. Backed by @Paxos's proven track record, we’re now positioned to help institutions tap into DeFi markets and unlock new onchain financial experiences for their users. It’s been an incredible journey to help shape this vision from the early days, and I’m excited for what’s ahead as we continue building the foundation for the future of onchain finance.
