$0TVL Hour had a clear winner, but it was a close call. Taulant Kryeziu (@taulantxx) from @twynexyz took the win at Stable Summit Cannes with a pitch that stood out on mechanism design, clarity, and execution. Laurens (@0xLaurens) from @polarisfinance_ finished as runner-up, and the judges had a genuinely hard time choosing between the two. Thanks as well to all teams who pitched and to the judges Petr Hluze (@petrhluze), Tesa Ho (@defin00b), Amina from @GnosisVC, and Pietro Carta (@ptrcarta).

Joining us tomorrow? The 2026 program reflects how far the stablecoin industry has evolved. Our agenda covers the core layers of stablecoin infrastructure: payments, market structure, capital allocation, regulation, and risk. Focused on how these systems function in practice.

Meet the judges for $0TVL Hour. Daniele Pinna (@PestoPoppa), Petr Hluze (@PetrHluze), Tesa Ho (@defin00b), Pietro Carta (@ptrcarta). Expect real scrutiny across mechanism design, risk, and liquidity assumptions, not surface-level feedback. 27 March · Cannes

Consensus Hong Kong is rolling through the city @consensus_hk

@SafePal making waves at @SolanaAccel

🚨 TEAM IS EVERYTHING. 🚨 The #1 indicator for a good investment? The Team. 🚀 @PetrHluze (@Stablecoin_VC & @BlackAlphaCap) says that in early-stage Web3 he ignores the "crazy projections." Why? Because adoption metrics only tell half the story. When it comes to signing the check, data often fails. Success isn't about financial modeling, it's about assessing human capital. If you are building in Web3, you need to hear this. 👂 Thanks Petr for sharing it.

@Supermooncamp @XLayerOfficial @chainlink @PotatoSwap_Fi Great events, great place, and great art by Xul Solar

Three events. Two days. One museum. Devconnect Argentina hit different. Across three events, we brought together founders, directors, and ecosystem teams. Build X kicked it off w/ @XLayerOfficial @chainlink @PotatoSwap_Fi focused on real product work and fireside chat with @sunlearnstorock & @thodoris_kar. Guests explored activities, VR, massages, and Argentine catering between sessions at each event. That evening, our Builders Gala, hosted alongside @XLayerOfficial, @ton_blockchain, @PeanutTrade, @Nexo, @PerleLabs, @Kolo, @Liquify_ltd and supported by @OKX_Ventures, @bombocommunity, @wrappedxyz, @Human_AIx, blended networking with Buenos Aires culture, complete with a tango performance, music, drinks, and conversations. Startup Palacio featured @ton_blockchain newly unveiled @TONUShub, alongside X Layer, @protocollabs, Peanut Trade, Perle, @galaxyhq, @plcapital, @LanternFi, and Supermoon Ventures. The day opened with a museum tour, then moved to three panels covering the TON ecosystem, mini apps, and founder strategy in the current market, featuring @amomot86, Jules Nguyen, @lacey_wisdom, @jessiexiao_eth, Shen Chen, Elias Enriquez, @moontripss, @biznesbarabulka, and Adam Adamov. The marathon ended with a Rapid Fire Pitch Session for founders. One of the best Devconnects we’ve been part of, Argentina turned the entire city into a workspace for builders.

Zero padel played but #padelcon’ed

Really enjoyed the discussion with my co-panelists on Investing in Payments/Stablecoins at the Digital Assets event by @sg_blockchain; great mix of perspectives. At Nammu Capital @Stablecoin_VC, we see opportunities shifting toward apps, middleware, and modular on-chain finance.

@brian_armstrong Action brings clarity.

One of my favorite lessons I’ve learnt from working with smart people: Action produces information. If you’re unsure of what to do, just do anything, even if it’s the wrong thing. This will give you information about what you should actually be doing. Sounds simple on the surface - the hard part is making it part of your every day working process.

October FinTech3.0 Summary 1/ October had some major announcements showing finance and crypto moving closer together. We’re seeing banks, payment companies, and blockchain protocols work toward shared use cases. 🧵

Enjoyed joining the “From Hype to Fundamentals” panel at @AgoraGBC with sharp minds from @AnimocaBrands, @HTX_Ventures, and @CypherCapital. We talked about how institutional capital is rewriting this cycle’s story, and why Web3 and Web2.5 products need different token designs.

We've officially closed our seed funding round 🔥 After building infrastructure that serves 850,000+ users across 140 countries and distributes $50,000+ weekly, we're excited to announce the completion of our funding journey. Time to thank the incredible investors who believed in our vision 🧵

Onwards and upwards. @arcthecommunity
