Jac - Hirechain.io

.@hirechain_io turned 3 in October! We've been busy and have onboarded 100s of crypto companies who now rely on us for their hiring. August set a new record for us and it looks like October might beat *every* one of our records in one go. Very proud of the team and extremely excited to launch new products, work with incredible new partners and continue to make hiring more efficient in crypto. We're just getting started.

Looking for someone to help a client in the US add 100 people. You'll lead internal talent ops and progress to talent lead. Incredible opportunity for the right person. Would suit someone excited by the challenges of hiring at breakneck speed. - experienced managing ops / coordinating across busy teams (doesn't need to be recruitment but preferred) - interested in moving in to a talent lead role and excited to make this function your own Must be based in NYC. DM me. The job will be up on Hirechain shortly. Find me someone this week and I'll pay you $10K.

@marcelolebre Some of these complexities just stop people in their tracks. Remote is great but understanding things like 14 pay cycles plus an additional 700/mo is a deal breaker in a lot of cases.

Payroll has front-line consequences. If it is wrong, people get paid incorrectly. Companies take compliance risk. Governments get involved. It's 2026. Companies should be able to pay the best person for the job, wherever that person happens to be, and still get it right.

Portugal does 14 months of payroll a year. So when you are in San Francisco, New York, etc. and you need to run payroll for someone in Portugal, you think "Salary is salary. Twelve months." Then you learn the calendar has 14. What the hell is this, a different calendar or something? And that is one country.

@andre_quentin Same thing happened to me with an Airbnb booking.

Things are about to get real scary. I got a WhatsApp message about a hotel reservation I made on Booking.com. They have my correct hotel name, correct dates, correct amount, everything. They ask me to confirm my CC details, without which they'll cancel my res.

@eric_turner You.....threw them away!? 😭

I think my biggest financial loss is the almost full set of first edition Pokémon cards I kept in sleeves for 20 years and threw away after a move right before they became popular.

A lot of thought goes into making Pumpcade feel like a degen-friendly, internet-native schizo app. That is what makes the app feel native to the internet instead of another sterile trading terminal. But underneath that, we think ultra-short-duration markets are an underexplored primitive. Pumpcade markets let users express bounded, discrete views on very short windows of time. Not: "Will BTC go up eventually?" More like: "Will this move happen in the next minute?" That distinction matters. The internet moves in bursts. Attention moves in bursts. Volatility moves in bursts. You see this in long-term prediction markets all the time: A strong candidate gives a bad speech. Odds swing violently. Then the market cools off and mean-reverts. The long-term thesis may not have changed, but the short-term dislocation was real, which is where Pumpcade gets interesting. There are already financial tools for holding a long-term thesis - Pumpcade lets you trade the violent path inside that thesis. The consumer app looks chaotic because the internet is chaotic. That is by design! But the primitive underneath is serious: Fast, bounded, instantly resolved markets for internet-speed outcomes.

@asharoraa @Taran

@ryantrost @JamieALucas @waleswoosh Where do you think it went wrong? For a while it was very fun.

@JamieALucas @waleswoosh Like losing a kid in the end

That is absolutely correct. Plus I don't even think there are many projects worth taking over at this point. The art on most of them is mid, the communities are dead, and the holder concentration isn't great either

pumpcade focusing on deflationary tokenomics built around platform activity, all usage metrics will directly benefit the token the concerns around the equity / token split was misguided, team wanted *more* of the token because they intend it to be core part of platform launch

@ryantrost @steoniy x.com/i/status/17708…

@steoniy Just being honest here that’s because you guys don’t have tokens to emit? It’s a good spin on a different operational setup as a function of the company origins Love the design btw fee model is an intriguing solve for parimutuels

solana:Eg2ymQ2aQqjMcibnmTt8erC6Tvk9PVpJZCxvVPJz2agu tokenomics work differently No emissions No farming rewards All utility is funded by people actually using the platform. The more Pumpcade grows, the stronger the ecosystem gets

@natashalfawn Had liy-kes-ter square once. U wot M8?

just heard an american butcher the pronunciation of 'southwark' and it's ruined my day

We are hiring a Growth Lead at @pumpcade This is a role for someone that wants to stand up, operate, and OWN growth from zero at a well funded Prediction Market company. (We are VERY partial to applicants with prior experience at Casinos/Sportsbooks) share.hirechain.io/apply/2vjqoy6f…

@contrarianmarco @kaledora Dream team!

@kaledora Couldn’t be more grateful for this journey with you

a year ago @contrarianmarco and i sketched something on a piece of paper and called it "phase two." today it's live! this launch is the biggest one in ostium's protocol history so far. it's the first time onchain perps connect to traditional markets. thankful to our institutional partners and super proud of the killer team we've assembled, particularly over the last 4 months, to make this happen. we've come a long way from the nerdy college kids who started ostium out of my dorm room - here's marco and me the day we got our first check! and yes, he wore collared shirts even then, although now he wears a suit and tie every single day without fail :)

Our mainnet audit begins on Monday, and it's scheduled to take 12 days. The Open Beta will be our previous iteration of the protocol, as well as a refreshed version of the UI. In the background, while open beta is live, we will be integrating the new UX & protocol for mainnet.

We've raised over 1 million dollars in tokens via ACE so far.

@itamarl @ready_co Did you ever find out what made them flag it?

Before Ready I built a brain training app called Peak. At its peak, it had 40 million users. After selling in 2016, I waited for the payment. It was a transfer from one UK bank account to another. Straightforward stuff. OFAC froze the payment. I wasn’t naive. I knew that you had to ask banks for permission to move your money. But why should I ask OFAC, the enforcement agency of the United States Treasury Department, for a legit transfer between two UK bank accounts? Long story short. I eventually got the payment. But I remembered the trauma. Shortly after that, I bought my first ETH, and sent a payment to a friend. It arrived in seconds, and cost $0.01. That inspired me to build @ready_co

@derteil00 Polymarket has fees tho? docs.polymarket.com/trading/fees

If you think about it: - Polymarket's main product is prediction markets, they want to keep the share and got scared after seeing Jeff working on HIP-4, especially that Jeff already has experience in PM. - Polymarket has since inception 0 fee policy - Lighter has 0 fees - What if Polymarket decided to team up with Lighter - Lighter adds PM from Polymarket, PolyMarket adds perps from Lighter I believe they had no time to build infra themselves from 0. If they want to act quickly they had to partner with someone. I think there is a decent chance they've partnered with Lighter or someone else, but as HL is currently seen by them as a huge competitor they'll most prolly team up with other competitor of HL. Just random thoughts

@jessepollak @PopPunkOnChain @base Base eco fund should participate? Great product. Great team. First of its kind raise...on base?

great to see @PopPunkOnChain running an ACE on @base
