Jamie Lin 林之晨

I have spoken to many investors at Sanctum. @AppWorks really stood out. their DD was very different. they flew me over to Taiwan, sat me down for an hour with their whole team and asked about my life story. they were scrupulously fair and generous with the terms, and after we signed with them, they have regularly followed up and proactively intro'd to partners and mentors. appworks is a Taiwanese fund, 很講義氣，人情, I can feel the warmth and their sincerity. strongly recommend other founders take their money :)

The internet already defined a payment layer decades ago. HTTP 402 reserved space for a payment layer, but the web never had a native way to fulfill it. x402 enables web requests to carry value natively, with onchain verification in the same flow. The reason crypto is indispensable isn’t ideological. It’s architectural. 1. Machines can’t run on credit. The fiat stack was built for humans: authentication, KYC, chargebacks, and manual dispute loops. It assumes the buyer has an email, an identity, and patience. AI agents can sign, but not KYC. They speak in cryptographic proofs, not passports. Fiat rails still depend on human-centric checkpoints, all of which break at machine speed. Crypto wallets fix this at the primitive layer. Signatures replace identity, tokens replace intermediaries. x402 lets agents just pay, triggered by an HTTP header, with ERC-20 transfers verified within the same flow. It’s not UX, it’s protocol design. 2. Micropayments collapse under fiat economics. Card networks weren’t designed for micro-transactions. Their 2–3% fees and fixed settlement costs break down below a dollar. A $0.001 query would lose money before it even clears. That’s why the web ossified around ads and subscriptions: friction made precision pricing impossible. x402 restores true atomic micropayments to the web. On L2s like Base, transfers typically cost under a cent, low enough to meter every API call or compute cycle. “Payment Required” finally means what it should: pay exactly for what you use, no more, no less. 3. Settlement becomes a feature, not a liability. Traditional rails treat settlement as a batch process, reconciled by banks and acquirers. Crypto compresses that window from days to seconds, and more importantly, makes every outcome cryptographically verifiable. No chargebacks, no reversals, just deterministic state updates. The trade-off is intentional: machine commerce favors finality over forgiveness. That’s what enables autonomous transactions. Agents can trust code, not counterparties. 4. Programmability changes the game. Card networks can’t express conditional logic at the transaction layer. You can’t tell Visa to “pay only if the query succeeds” or “stream $0.01 every second.” Crypto can. x402 turns payments into programmable primitives, composable, inspectable, and automatable. That’s the difference between digital payments and internet-native money. 5. Tokenized cards aren’t a bridge; they’re ballast. Putting credit cards onchain doesn’t fix the architecture. It still relies on centralized issuers, fiat settlement, and identity-linked trust. That model is structurally incompatible with a world where APIs and agents transact peer-to-peer, without permission or intermediaries. Tokenized cards extend fiat’s reach, but they don’t make it autonomous. They replicate the old logic of control inside a new wrapper. Crypto isn’t an add-on for x402. It’s the substrate that makes it possible. HTTP 402 finally has a foundation that matches its intent: an open, programmable economy where computation and value converge. x402 doesn’t make payments cheaper. It makes them native, native to the web’s protocol layer, where value moves with the same atomicity as information. #x402 #payment #base #crypto

其實人可以不用過分的去專注在想要，而更應該花很多力氣，去了解自己真正需要的是什麼。如果你找到了自己的目標，那麼，在這個不完美的世界努力，即便有挫折、即便有痛苦、即便有傷心，無法發生什麼事情，你應該都是一個平靜的人 youtube.com/watch?v=rszO3F…

@Trader_Slash 非常感謝你的詳細解釋，大組織裡面勢必有 compromise，但為了顯示座位不夠，要求同仁不能居家、彈性上班，絕對不是一個該發生的 compromise，我會充分了解後，做出明確的指示，再次為了你的不好經驗向你抱歉

總經理您好， 首先我想表達，這件事情我從不認為是您的問題，我也始終對您保持尊重。 但為了我現在與未來的前同事們，我覺得有些話我不得不說。這段時間，我們 IT 部門在辦公空間的使用上，遇到了一些困難。部門主管希望能爭取更多的座位空間，但行管部門認為現有位子已足夠，因而未予調整。最後的結果是，我們被要求將位子「盡量坐滿」，進而影響到居家工作的彈性。 實際上，只要有人請假，剩下的人就無法申請居家滿十天。這對團隊的工作安排與同仁的生活彈性造成了不小的影響。我盡我所能地爭取過，希望能維護大家應有的權益。 也因此，原本我選擇默默地離開公司，盡可能平靜地劃下句點。但卻因為對這個制度的異議，被主管批評我「不尊重工作」，甚至說出「為什麼別人可以遵守，你不行」這樣的話。 我不是不能理解制度的考量，只是我無法接受忽略個人與團隊實際處境的標準。我與同事之間有深厚情感，我知道他們因為生活所需，無法公開反對這些安排。我也真心熱愛這份工作，曾經在假日、甚至深夜自發完成程式進度，只希望能幫助團隊順利推進。 我今天會選擇發聲，並不是單單為了自己，而是希望有一天，這些聲音能讓未來的同事有更好的工作環境。否則，我本可以選擇安靜離開，不必多說什麼。 以上是我誠實且謹慎的說明，謝謝您願意聆聽。

嘿嘿，當初招募的時候把十天居家上班申請當紅字 招進來之後使用各種理由剝削不讓人申請滿十天 大讚台哥大 感謝林之晨

@MrJamieLin 老闆 把優秀前員工嚇跑囉 他一個月嚕交易所賺的比你給年薪還多喔 檢討一下吧

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.

Excited to share why we're leading SignalPlus's Series B alongside @OKX_Ventures, @HashKey_Capital, and Avenir Group. Crypto option market volume keeps hitting ATHs in 2024 but still faces major structural challenges - many exchanges lack expertise to build proper trading & risk tools, leading to inefficient pricing and fragmented liquidity. Adding to this, crypto's 24/7 nature puts intense demands on trading teams globally. SignalPlus, founded by GS/MS veteran Chris Yu and tech entrepreneur James Shan, is solving these with their automated platform. They've built Wall Street-grade tools including sophisticated risk analytics, 24/7 automated market making, and exotic product management. Their technology together with the close partnership with Binance, Bybit, Deribit and OKX have grown the options market 3-4x over the past 2 years. SignalPlus isn't just reshaping crypto trading - they're pioneering how all financial markets will operate through AI and automation. That's why we're excited to lead their Series B.
