EIP-4337 is LIVE on Ethereum Here's what it means and why it's a big deal 👇

@shiftj DM'd

At a YC dinner last week, a founder casually mentioned they're not hiring sales anymore. "So.. how do you do outbound?" "14 AI agents." Thought they were messing with me, but they showed me the dashboard - it's real. Agents handling: - Onboarding - Support → feedback - Feedback → PRDs - PRDs → features - Features → marketing - Marketing → lookalike targeting - Outbound to those lookalikes The entire growth loop. Semi-automated. Asked if I could use it: "Custom. internal only." Fair enough. -- Update: Built my own version of it. First pass took two weeks. It's running now. (Screen recording in replies)

We're opening it up over the next few weeks. If you want in, sign up at rosedrop.ai.

We've used it daily for a few months now and it's been actually been really useful. Not "this is neat" useful, more like "how did we do this before" useful.

For the past few months, we've been using an internal AI tool to help run our company. It's been useful enough that we're making it available to everyone.

Today is Trevor's 4th adoptiversary ❤️

Excellent use of free will

Trevor always takes it easy on new years day

Crypto people are too obsessed with impressing each other. Most of the things that make a difference - reliability, simplicity, accessibility - aren’t celebrated by crypto twitter.

Trevor heard we launched EUR-to-crypto transfers at @stackup_fi and immediately went full Parisian 🇫🇷 Who says crypto can't be très chic?

At Stackup we believe that crypto rails should be available to everyone! To remove old barriers, we are leveraging Bridge @Stablecoin technology to support EUR IBAN, Mexico and Brazil fiat-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat transfers on our platform!

There is never enough Trevor on my feed! Here’s my boy in a very idyllic setting - I believe that a lot of people are too attached to tech and that a healthy balance between it and nature would do wonders :)

Been working on a new, super cool @stackup_fi integration 👀 * Hint * Crypto should be borderless!

Crypto feels quieter lately. At least compared to the “to the moon” phase. That’s fine with me. Fewer tourists, more builders. Less noise, more signal. Long term, that’s strictly +EV.

What web3 conferences or events should I attend in 2026?

Crypto founders love talking about “the future.” The part that actually matters is the Tuesday after launch, when something breaks and there’s no narrative left to hide behind. Reliability isn’t exciting. Nobody tweets about it when it works. That’s exactly why users notice it the moment it doesn’t.

Another example from my current obsession - my Notgeld collection (which means Emergency Money in german) It’s really fascinating that even on troubling times people find creative solutions for money!

Melbourne's food and drink scene is underrated.

Date night with the love of my life

Founders shouldn’t be spending hours tracking invoices and double-checking wallet addresses. You’re supposed to be building, not doing manual ops prep. Let your tools handle the busywork. You just hit “approve” when it’s time.
