The real metric isn’t reach, it’s how many builders show up and ship. Distribution that converts into adoption is what matters.

@notalonexyz Agreed! Tokens and capital markets are a marathon, not a sprint

@arifkazi_ @SonicSVM @solana @joinmirrorworld What a journey! Looking forward to what's coming next

career update: my journey at @sonicsvm has come to an end after an incredible 2 years: it’s truly been heartwarming to see sonic (formerly mirror world) grow from an ambitious vision to a brilliant TGE at $2.7b+ and a living, breathing ecosystem it is today - from launching the first-ever game on tiktok (sonicX, hitting 2.3M MAU) to building out 40+ ecosystem partners. none of this would’ve been possible without the amazing people i had the privilege to work with. thanks to @chrizhuu, @alanssol, @codebender828, @kinsadurst, @darcyasks, @yutongli27, @robinn_eth, @CommanderCrypto, trinity. i had the best time representing sonic throughout the globe at 15+ events like breakpoint, token2049, accelerate, hacker houses and many more! special thanks to my mentor & friend @chrizhuu for trusting me to lead BD and for all the lessons and memories made on and off work last 2 years were easily my best learning experience ever. what’s next? i’ll continue to support sonic as a community member and will be cheering loudly from the sidelines. still as bullish as ever on the team and what’s coming next. after a short break, i’m now actively exploring roles, particularly in the @solana ecosystem and if you’re looking to expand on BD/GTM - happy to chat 🫡

@shashis132 We're NotAlone

Laid off? Don’t worry, you’re NOTALONE. In the past few weeks, many big web3 companies have laid off a lot of their staff. Most of these people are amazing professionals with strong work ethics. They are self-starters who have done first-of-their-kind things in their roles. So if you’re looking for great talent in your company/DAO, this is one of the best times to build your team. We at @notalonexyz, our portfolio companies, and ecosystem partners have great openings across the board. Roles in tech, marketing, BD, fundraising, socials, graphic design, ops, devrel, etc. If you’re affected by these layoffs or know someone who is, please reach out. If you’re the best person for the role, you have the role. DMs are open. please share for maximum reach #layoffs
