The news is out! Couldn't be more excited to announce that I'm back in the ring as a builder. Coming on as a co-founder to @0xMiden with our $25M seed fundraise being co-led by @a16zcrypto , @1kxnetwork , and @hack_vc . I spoke to what must have been over a 100 projects in the past few months, but nothing came close to being nearly as exciting as what this team is building. My co-founder @bobbinth is genuinely the most impressive person I've met in Web3 in the 13 years I've spent in this space. And this is no exaggeration. Brilliant, humble, and hustles like no other. Vitalik brought him into Web3 and got him working at the EF years ago on zk, then he went to Meta where he led the zk team, and is a Polygon cofounder as well. When I say the most impressive, I mean it. Privacy, scalability, and decentralization, with the ability to offer compliance. That's what separates Miden from just another blockchain. And we're going to be bringing institutions on chain with this. If you're a builder in this space, I'd love to hear from you. My DMs are open.

@zothdotio Huge moves @pritrules !

Cross-border stablecoin payments just entered a new phase. Zoth has signed a strategic partnership MOU with Bakkt to enable compliant, high-volume money movement across South Asia and MENA, scaling Zoth’s total payments volume to $1B annually. Bakkt brings the pan-U.S. money transmitter licensing stack. Zoth brings the Global South payment rails. Together, we’re building a full-stack solution for compliant, institutional-grade cross-border payments at scale. @Bakkt x @zothdotio

@emceecoy_ @redbullracing @Gate @0xMiden 😂😂 Yesss exactly. You get it.

@azeemk @redbullracing @Gate @0xMiden Bringing privacy to the pit. Nice.

Huge thank you to the Gate team for having me as a guest at the F1 Grand Prix in Miami today. Nothing like Paddock Club..

@0xcudi @redbullracing @Gate @0xMiden Bro, was so sick!

@azeemk @redbullracing @Gate @0xMiden How you feel bro

@torabyou @redbullracing @Gate @0xMiden Haha you an F1 fan?

@azeemk @redbullracing @Gate @0xMiden Bro I’m not jealous at all

@andyyy 👋🏼

Who's in Miami???

@eyeshuuh Why is that name so familiar?

Spencer Pratt is running for mayor of LA!?

@ethisnetwork @damilareofweb3 @redbullracing @Gate @0xMiden Haha that is a team I don’t own a kit of actually. I do need done. You’re right.

@azeemk @damilareofweb3 @redbullracing @Gate @0xMiden Just saying.

@Box_Boxd @redbullracing @Gate @0xMiden Would love to learn more. Maybe shoot me a DM when you get a moment?

@azeemk @redbullracing @Gate @0xMiden Waiting for your BoxBoxd review 😎

@iCrazyTeddy @redbullracing @Gate @0xMiden Yeah, man. Alhamdulillah.

@azeemk @redbullracing @Gate @0xMiden That’s so awesome! 🏁🏁🏁 Last we spoke was literally talking about cool opportunities like this Miden coded

@Brentsketit @redbullracing @Gate @0xMiden It was awesome! And we got really lucky weather wise too. Wasn’t too hot and didn’t rain at all even though the predictions were that it may rain enough to cancel the race.

@azeemk @redbullracing @Gate @0xMiden looks sick

@donetodeath @GQMagazine Change what conversation? He’s arguably the most famous artist on the planet. Top 3 on a bad day.

@EliBenSasson Miden 😄😄😄

Complete the sentence: The real thing standing between crypto and mass adoption is...

1/ Post-quantum roundup: Week 17, 2026, is out. Substack link in thread 🧵 (1/13) This week: - Spotting quantum hype vs. progress - Coinbase's PQ migration position paper - Testing CBOMKit on Apache Airflow - Solana explores FALCON

@JKim_Tran 🙏🏼🙏🏼 have any tweets about it? Will have the Miden team push it

@azeemk Really liked your quote, "Who needs quantum computing to show crypto’s vulnerability when DeFi can do it for us?" It captures crypto's lack of preparedness and competence to tackle larger security issues. Included it in this week's roundup. realmscape.substack.com/p/post-quantum…

@remusofmars Djarum Black

Cig of choice?

@0xcudi @aesopsolo @0xMiden I got you, bro. TG me your size and I'll order one for you for next time I see you.

Miden Bear killing it in the Miden velour tracksuit. Especially w the Air Force 1s. Unfortunately the tee won’t be delivered in time for Miami next week though 😭

"Do not sell your integrity." "Do not take shortcuts." - @azeemk For our second clip of Miden co-founder Azeem Khan's appearance, our VP of Growth Wyatt Clancy asks him about the lessons he's learned over the years as a founder in our space. He offered some wise words indeed.
