Should be a great weekend! Special thanks to @MWBTCSummit for the opportunity!

Algo seems fixed. For those I’ve not talked to in a bit, I used to go by “SterlingMalloryArcher” but @arkovatech is doing well so had to get professional

@kbeautyarena Thank you! We’ve anchored 3 million documents to Bitcoin and are launching to pilots next month

@arkovatech Great post. Following for more updates.

A year ago we launched this account because we thought we were ready. Boy were we wrong! Over the past few months we’ve seen some real traction, and received a significant amount of support from thought leaders in AI Governance, Higher Education, Credentialing, Legal Departments, Accountants, and countless others. Next week we will our first few partners. Thank you to everyone who has believed in us, and the ability of Bitcoin to be used for more than just transferring and storing tokens If you’re operating in a heavily regulated industry (like DeFi, or blockchain infrastructure) we should talk arkova.ai

@Lizmej12 GM Liz!

It’s a beautiful day to do blockchain things but first coffee

@nick4iezos Agreed. We’ve been working with leaders to get this passed! Next week we will be helping to lead a telethon drumming up support

The most important thing in crypto right now isn't a token. It's the CLARITY Act sitting on the Senate calendar. Market structure is the unlock institutions have waited a decade for. If it clears the floor before the August recess, the game changes. coindesk.com/news-analysis/…

I couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve built. In November of 2024 we had multiple people tell us it was impossible. In June 2025 we wouldn’t survive without a token - @TheOnlyNessie and I STRONGLY disagreed and likely lost a few interested investors. In August 2025 the people who told us it was impossible changed their tune - it was no longer impossible, but expensive - we’ve anchored 3M records at the average of $.00015/each. In February we were told there wasn’t a global market - we went out and signed partners on multiple continents. Every hurdle, we’ve overcome it with sheer determination. Sometimes to find that blue ocean you have to be stubborn enough to keep walking towards the beach

Should be a great weekend! Special thanks to @MWBTCSummit for the opportunity!

Create identities for the C Suite and Business Stakeholders first, then each member of your ART/corresponding dev teams, make sure those identities align with your goals, then have your RTE host an initial 12 month technical roadmap planning, first. Align legal, finance, sales, and the CEO with the founders (humans running the whole thing) around what our realistic goals are for the year, regarding your product. Then define your workflow/goals. Ours was something like this (after creating identities): 1. You are the RTE, you’re facilitating a 12 month technical roadmap refinement and planning meeting for the c suite. Before the meeting, review all necessary information regarding our project 2. Inform the csuite/business stakeholders of the meeting and ask them to do internal and external research on the current market and competitors (etc), prior to the meeting 3. Hold the meeting. RTE holds a discussion with the room regarding the 12 month goal, and why that is the goal. After the discussion the RTE holds roadmap refinement and planning meetings, there should be a robust discussion where everyone has a chance to speak. Comprise the initial roadmap, identify high level features that can be broken down into smaller epics, stories, and subtasks 4. Pre mortem the roadmap and make adjustments. Identify dependencies, with the csuite these should be less technical and more related to resources, budget, etc 5. Finalize the roadmap; create documentation. Place a copy of it both in confluence, and our Google Drive 6. Hold, and document, a retrospective and post mortem on this session Having the roadmap fleshed out by the “c suite” (with human oversight/approval). Gives you a source of truth. We then created a workflow for the ART to review critique, and respond to the roadmap, sent it back to the csuite, got feedback/adjusted, then broke into separate sessions for each lane of the ART to do PI planning Lots of upfront work, smoother workflows, better end product. Esp if you’re on a strict budget. We use Claude Code for all the above; with Codex, @coderabbitai , @SonarQube , and @sentry providing reviews, and @mergify automating releases. Works for us

Second biggest secret? Organize your agents into an agile release train with multiple dev teams and use scaled agile for planning and dev work. Agile - in practice (with humans) - is always hit or miss. Agents execute. Plan an entire quarter, break it down into individual sprints for each team, hold refinement then planning and a pre mortem, then ask create a reusable work loop. Ask them to create sprint artifacts and put it into a folder. Watch major issues disappear while creating an enterprise grade audit trail

biggest claude code secret none of you are using activate “Claude Code on the web” admittedly not the best product name. and anthropic seems to be trying really hard to hide it but it’s the future getting your codebase to a place where it can run inside a restricted cloud sandbox will require some work. but once you’re done, you’ll no longer need to have an always-on computer running your tasks. you can then truly work from your phone it’s clear that future anthropic products will be based on this. and openai’s too, they already announced their future agents in chatgpt will run in the cloud. cursor is big on this as well if you migrate today you can start reaping the benefits now and won’t have to eat glass later when the rest of the world does code.claude.com/docs/en/web-qu…

Have you seen our SDK package in action? Anchor and verify records to Bitcoin using our SDK, API, Webhook, or MCP It’s not flashy, but that’s the point youtu.be/atSXMLPcOxs?fe…

I’ve not really been in web3 since October (used to go by SterlingMalloryArcher) and just spent an hour catching up. Unsurprisingly it’s dead Hate to say “we told you so” but @TheOnlyNessie and I did. Going back to 2022 we yelled from the rooftops about how web3 needed to evolve beyond pfps and shitcoins - people built video games and alpha groups instead, for the potential windfall. Somehow the hype machine convinced tens of thousands of people to pre pay $300 for an NFT that represents a future video game that will never go anywhere (yet people complain about the cost of GTA) Even more interesting? Ordinal OGs and Bitcoin maxis who swore they would never leave, have. I’m not going to make a list - we know who they are Use blockchain technology to solve boring problems, find a few people who will pay a subscription fee to use it, apply to funds/incubators, show up prepared, do your laps through corporate America - building in Bitcoin is just as boring as building any other software, many just convinced themselves otherwise. Web3 isn’t a unique space, the folly was convincing ourselves it was - propping up “influencers” who milked individuals for years by telling them what they wanted to hear, than jumping ship at the next hot tech @arkovatech is still building on Bitcoin L1. We’ve anchored over 3M records to the network, despite being told it was; “impossible,” “boring,” and “not cost effective”. In our opinion, we represent what NFTs, ordinals, and web3 were always meant to become: invisible, necessary, enterprise infrastructure

The sacrifices we make for success are real

Step 6: ART holds a retro and post mortem Step 7: repeat the sprint planning step for each team Step 8: when the PI is done, plan the second PI Instruct agents to create user stories with epics, subtasks, goals, and AC/DoD, tell them you need documentation for each story. The result is an organized, if not imperfect, agentic ART that produces high quality code Planning and organization are critical to prevent simple mistakes and refactoring @arkovatech

Arkova is happy to announce that we have achieved @cloudsa STAR Level 1! We’ve been building our MVP slowly on purpose. If we are the trust layer for the agentic economy, then we need to ensure we are trusted. Between this, and the BIA assessment we had conducted by a veteran CISO, we are well on our way to SOC2 compliance cloudsecurityalliance.org/star/registry/…

America is massive! Probably not on your agenda, but we recommend a trip to Midwest lake country. Northern Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin are about as beautiful as it gets this time of year. Head to the Lake Michigan shore for a day and convince yourself you’re not in a shark-less ocean

Wow the nature is starting to look very different now

@FreddyLA7 @LSUSoccer Absurd thing? We have several stadiums that are bigger

A fellow German and a British guy who work at LSU found us on campus and gave us a tour of the soccer facilities and gifted us these stylish shirts. Thank you so much!!!

Really excited to be hosting this event at Grand Rapids Tech Week! If you’re in the area, we’d love to meet you

We are excited to announce that we will be hosting an event for Grand Rapids Tech Week! Join us for a discussion on Identity Access Management and verification in the agentic era, and Bitcoins role. luma.com/techweek-c3h1

More announcements, soon.

@HakiChain @kevin_B_isom @mercy_nimo28 @CloudSoftway @nairobi_startup @TIEEventsKe Congrats!

We won Web3 Company of the Year 🏆 Honestly, it’s been a year of just building HakiChain; figuring things out, refining and staying consistent. Now onboarding our first users. What we’re seeing is clear, legal tech needs more than digitization, needs trust built into the system.
