@schaumburgd @shipfr8 what about Amsterdam?

Zürich is the closest I have felt to the level of broader focus culture in SF while in Europe London/Paris are too sparse and socially optimized Berlin/Munich/Milan too chilled (there are outliers ofc) Have not yet checked Stockholm, Madrid Only exception is @shipfr8

@hthieblot applied 😉

Last day to apply! For the most ambitious students and recent grads: Come to SF, build alongside ambitious founders, and get your company started. I hope to see you there. Reply below if you’ve applied.

@hthieblot my semester ends early july 😬

Our summer startup program for students and new grads will be back this year! We’re considering expanding it from 5 weeks to 8 weeks (late June through the 3rd week of August). How do those dates look? Do they align with your break? can you stay in SF for the full duration?

@aditmag applied ;)

if you're <25 and exceptionally ambitious, you should be in this room. may the 10th be with you.

@tednotlasso ye it’s called maths

is there a mental equivalent of gyms but for brains? will this become a thing? do you think it will take form in writing clubs or a revival of Gilded Age social clubs, but all with strict no-phone policies (to avoid outsourcing any thinking)? something else?

@valgui1 thank you 😁

I loved this project. Very cool idea and implementation. Congrats - it was wonderful to see you build something so cool!

@ProofOfTravis @xStocksFi @inkonchain yes, that's the core part. similar to what @hylo_so has done

@krlberg @xStocksFi @inkonchain is it no liquidation simply because of the stable part that is taken out of the leveraged position?

we won the Standout Idea Award at the @xStocksFi hackathon in beautiful Cannes 🇫🇷 for our project Paragon 🍷! we built a first-ever liquidation-free tokenized ETFs leverage protocol, along with the first ETF-backed stablecoin on @inkonchain. so grateful to my teammates @narasim_reddy and K 👏

@KevinApetrei @Wajahat @spreads_fi @xStocksFi @inkonchain congrats guys 🥂🫡 really cool project!

48 hours ago I met @Wajahat from @spreads_fi randomly at the @xstocksfi hackathon in Cannes. We just took 2nd Place ($20K)!🔥 What we shipped: Stretch by @spreads_fi: the first DeFi products for $STRC, live on @inkonchain mainnet. - Highest RWA yield strategy on the market (46% APY) - Leveraged looping on Morpho Blue, a market we curated - Auto smart buy-the-dip vault w/ liquidation protection - BTC-related volatility hedging with OTM Puts and re-collateralisation automation - Savings product with gift card rewards All gasless. One click. Zero transactions from the user. I focused on the backend, smart contract integration, Privy smart wallet execution, DCA strategy automation, and leverage loop orchestration, focusing on maximising UX and execution robustness. We went deep on smart wallet abstraction, building structured products where the user never signs a single transaction. Money market looping, CoW swaps, vault deposits, all executed from a smart account behind the scenes. First leveraged DeFi product for $STRC ever. Built by 2 people in a weekend. We're bringing institutional STRC demand on-chain by attracting Saylor maxis to products on @xstocksfi, all while abstracting hedge-fund grade structured products for the everyday DeFi user. We're launching the final product with @spreads_fi soon. We'd love to hear some feedback on the idea. Feel free to DM me about this if this is something you'd use! I want to throw a huge thanks to @krakenfx and the @xStocksFi team for an incredible event. Their organisation was truly amazing, and they treated us like kings whilst we were in the trenches! It was probably the highest quality hackathon I've ever attended!🙏 The quality of the building at this hackathon was incredibly high. Focusing on working with just 16 teams allowed there to be a lot of 1-on-1 support, with a lot of projects pushing directly to mainnet! Looking forward to continuing the journey, building on @inkonchain with structured RWA products!
