Millions spend hours with AI characters. But characters forget, creators don't earn, and the best experiences sit behind paywalls. We raised $1.5M to build the character economy with @lattice_fund, @cbventures' Base Ecosystem Fund, @JME_Ventures; bootstrapped by @worldcoinfnd.



Today, we announce our $72 million Series A, co-led by @multicoin and @SignalFire. fun.xyz/news/series-a


Privy CEO @sternhenri sees three big trends in stablecoins and the blockchain growing in the future: "First, we're going to see a rise of non-dollar stablecoins as more people embrace them." "Second, I've heard of a few projects that are trying to have an inflation stablecoin. The stable actually grows with inflation, so that you're on purchasing power parity. I think they're really hard to instrument and get quite right, which is why I don't think they've taken off just yet." "Third, there's a company called Pearl that is finding a way to do fast matrix multiplication and back a blockchain on this, so you can issue tokens based on how much compute you've got ready to do useful inference. So there was a question for me of, what other useful work could you back the currency on?


Today we announced Fence’s $20M Series A, led by @GalaxyHQ and joined by @paraficapital & @crane_vc We’re using it to rebuild the operating infrastructure for asset-backed finance: the systems that verify assets, enforce facility rules, calculate obligations, and move capital.

3 days since launching @frontrunvc: My goal coming into this year was simple: make $1 on the internet with something I built... Done. The response has been better than I could've imagined. VCs, ecosystem teams, accelerators, trenchers - all using the product differently, all pushing it forward with valuable feedback. I took @jackbutcher's "Build Once, Sell Twice" course in 2020. 6 years later, I finally have my own "this is pointless" chart. As Jack did for me, hopefully this inspires someone else: build it, ship it, and put your ideas out into the world.



The State of Onchain Credit by @serotonin_hq will be published on Tuesday, April 28th! 10,000 words, 20 charts, and 165 players mapped. Two months of work culminating in what we believe is the most comprehensive report on onchain credit to date.
