I'm proud to announce that I have joined the @pumpdotfun team Over the past 8 years, I've hunted, built & invested in high-potential opportunities within crypto - from kickstarting ecosystems working at @jump_/ @jumpcapital, @SkyMavisHQ, @axieinfinity & @Ronin_Network, to creating vast wealth-effects within those networks. I've helped hundreds of projects obtain investment, partnerships & scale to huge valuations, resulting in thriving businesses Now, I'm in a unique position where I'm able to leverage the connections that I've built over the past 8 years, skills I've acquired in BD, talent management (and everything in between) to deliver high quality projects & investable creators. My mission has always been to break the ceiling on what's possible, and the team at pump are the only people in crypto which I think have a shot at achieving the impossible I'm pumped to sculpt the future of Internet Capital Markets and Creator Capital Markets. If one thing is clear, it's that pump is the next paradigm of social platform that combines capital, creativity, engagement and entertainment. I couldn't be more excited to bootstrap this industry & ultimately create the runners that the trenches deserve.

@RainsRevenge @unmoyai 🔮

Big congratulations to the Codec team for being one of the 12 BIP Hackathon winners! I remember meeting the team and the founder @unmoyai at breakpoint 2025 and they were one of the most passionate and genuine teams I've come across. Robotics is already becoming a major global focus, and it will only accelerate as technology advances. (Elon literally stopped producing his two flagship cars to produce more robots) Codec is building infrastructure that enables people to train robots and leverage data at a reduced cost, which will be vital for the future. Much deserved win, who should be the next winner?👀

@PopPunkOnChain you're a beast. such a pleasure working with you so far.

@kosgoood winning the hackathon is literally a flash bang you think to yourself, "surely it's a slow ramp up right" no. it's immediate. winning the pump hackathon is BY FAR the most +EV thing you can possibly do.

winning the Pump fun BiP Hackathon is only the beginning over the last week we’ve successfully helped multiple winning teams advance in raising, distribution, and strategy the build in public model enables teams to execute fast vs. waste time on pitch decks and partner proposals - build in public, get noticed building in public is the secret to instant distribution, quick validation & being connected to industry leaders who can accelerate your project faster than ever before 8 spaces are remaining. good luck to those who build in public!

Onchain Agents are taking over, and we’re building tools to accelerate the Agentic Economy on Pump fun The first step: Automated Buybacks for Tokenized Agents - our solution to bridge the gap between agentic success and human opportunity Live now, here's how it works 👇

@the_davey @Pumpfun love this

I am still numb from this incredible news last night. @Pumpfun gets a lot of flak from the community. Behind the scenes they are trying to build something incredible that web3 purists would really love. Each of the Hackathon projects have the potential to be massively successful companies which drive lasting value back to holders. This means tokenomics and other structures that make sense and flip the narrative from what crypto has been. This Hackathon is about building in public. Building in public creates an opportunity for the community to truly understand the developers behind projects that have more than just meme value. When you watch someone for hours, or listen, or see them show up, you get a real sense for who they are. Vulnerabilities, strengths, passions, or the lack thereof. Hype by definition is a short-lived signal traders rely on too much. When it fades, what is left for them? That's something that market cap doesn't always reflect. But when you work on a viable business model, revenue streams, and figure out your addressable market, "gud tek" takes on a whole new meaning. I am in some really high-caliber company now with the other Hackathon winners, and can't wait to see who else will join. I know we will boost each other in what is one of the biggest building events of the last several years. I'll say it again, this is a life-changing opportunity for me and others who will be on Bloxx team. With @BloxApi, we're building things that have meaning and value, and will elevate and enrich many others, hopefully MILLIONS in the unusual times ahead. Thank you for your support as we build! LFG!

LOADED up with meetings this week already The effects of winning the Pump Fun hackathon kick in pretty much immediately. My engineering time this week is going towards getting @pumpcade ready for the public open beta. Bug fixes, scaling, etc. It's coming soon.

@PopPunkOnChain @pumpcade all gas no breaks

big step towards ushering in a roblox eco on pump. congrats @BloxApi!

@zauthx402 👀

17,000+ GitHub repositories analyzed. 430,000+ unique user interactions. That’s RepoScan in less than 3 months, and it’s only one product in the zauth ecosystem. At zauth, we are building the foundation of a billion dollar security business, but we are doing it differently than traditional startups. When companies like Stripe, AWS, and Shopify were early, the value went to founders and venture capital firms. The developers and users who helped those companies grow didn’t share in that upside. zauth is structured differently. Those of you who support our network early will benefit as it grows, through $ZAUTH. Updated Revenue, Rev Share, and Staking documentation will be released within the month. We are a team of three, supported by an incredible community, and this is our full time job. It's more than that - it's our lives. Our goal is simple: To be the example people point to when they talk about a successful startup that began with a token. And we will make it happen.

be pumpcade founder -have a great idea, but not a lot of money to fund it -launch a token on pumpfun -people like the idea and support it - starts earning money through creator fees to use towards the project -quits his job and goes all in -token starts to gain a lot of attention from on chain and outside participants - builds in public consistently scaling his community and product - has now received $250k investment from pumpfun and many others looking to invest as well This should inspire every builder with a vision out there. If you have an idea but cannot fund it, launch a token. If the idea is good, the market will fund you.

@pumpspotlight @pumpcade let’s do this @PopPunkOnChain 🤝

BiP applications closed but the fun is just getting started! over the weekend, we saw: - several new contestants appear on the radar which are now being closely monitored - several founders informing me that building in public exposed them to opportunity they never thought possible - some familiar (and unfamiliar!) VC's asking for intros to some contestants 👀 we’re aggressively evaluating candidates. stay alert and engaged - anything could happen. contestants: don’t stop building in public communities: make an impact, get your favorite project in front of us!

@pumpspotlight excited to announce the next winners!

The Pump fun Build in Public Hackathon application deadline is quickly approaching. So far, we’ve seen applications from some truly interesting projects & teams. As of now, 2 out of 12 projects have each secured a $250,000 investment from Pump Fund, with more being announced soon. Despite applications closing on February 25, 23:59 EST, the race is very much still on, and those who continue to Build in Public will be among the next cohort of winners. As intended, the BiP Hackathon will continue to let the market decide which builders may be the next winners. What does it mean to Build in Public? Simply put, building in public means communication & transparency between teams & communities. In an industry where years worth of project funding can be secured early on, it's important that traders know what they’re backing, and more importantly who they’re backing. Allowing your community to know who’s behind the project and instill trust in you is important, not just for the success of your project, but for the success of your application in the BiP Hackathon. Remember, the community plays an important role in the validation of your idea and ultimately the decisions made in the BiP Hackathon. Effective communication means frequent updates, community conversations, Pump fun livestreams, X Spaces, podcasts and other forms of distribution. What happens after the application deadline? After applications close, every existing applicant is still a potential winner and are being closely monitored by our team. As previously stated, building in public is your ticket to success and you still have a chance to win up until the 12th winner has been chosen. Potential BiP Hackathon winners will be reached out to by a @Pumpfun affiliate. The next winners will be announced via @pumpspotlight over the coming weeks, pending eligibility. Winner announcements are not a guarantee of investment - investments are subject to further due diligence such as KYC & AML checks. If you are yet to apply, now is the time to do so 👇

as the hackathon application window closes, eyes are focused on how contestants build in public. don't underestimate how important this is as winners are selected. reach out if you have questions!
