After spending years working across different markets, ecosystems, and teams, one thing became increasingly clear to me: AI still doesn’t truly understand people. Most systems today operate on fragments: a prompt, a few clicks, short term context. But people are far more than isolated interactions. We spend years generating patterns through our habits, preferences, routines, behaviors, and decisions across platforms, yet almost none of that context actually works in our favor. That realization is what led us to build @BanzaOfficial . Today, I’m grateful to share that Banza App has raised a $1M pre seed round led by @YourCampusFund , with participation from @avax and an incredible group of angel investors. At @BanzaOfficial , we’re building AI Twins powered by user owned data: personal intelligence systems that deeply understand individuals and proactively help them make better decisions across platforms. I believe the next generation of AI products will not be defined only by model intelligence. They’ll be defined by how well they understand the individual behind the interaction.

@litocoen @ethena Congrats brother 🔥

stoked to announce that im joining @ethena to lead a new product which will be revealed publicly soon after my last job, i thought i would take a longer time off but some opportunities don't wait for you there is a very short time window where you need to act or the opportunity may not be there in that form a few months later this was the case here everything i'm passionate about, reunited in one product all the stars aligned for that industry segment to explode over the next few years everything i've done in crypto so far, all the skills i acquired seem like preparation for this next chapter more soon

We don’t need smarter AI we need AI that understands messy humans indecision contradictions changing moods that’s the real dataset

About 400,000 incredible Iranian men and women call the UAE home. Their children grow up here. Their families build businesses here. Their future is here. When aggression threatens, it does not ask for passports. One Iranian was injured and the UAE defended them as it defends more than 200 nationalities who live side by side on this land. This is what leadership looks like. This is what peace protects. The UAE is strong. The UAE is safe.

@serpinxbt It reminds me me of @BrightIDProject early days

had ~120 people in the Ethos discord who wanted to get human verified they all came up, answered some random questions we had. one guy showed off that he was actively captaining a boat. went so much better than I thought it would it was nice for the internet to feel human

I just requested someone to verify I’m human on @ethos_network I’m looking for a qualified verifier to confirm my identity as part of Ethos Human Verification. If you’re an eligible verifier, reach out! app.ethos.network/human

@mariuslsmith @davwals @ethereumfndn @Snapcrackle @ethereum Congratulations ! 🎉

Life update: I’ve joined @ethereumfndn to lead enterprise efforts across MENA. Excited to help institutions across the region build on Ethereum, and to work more closely with @Snapcrackle & @davwals, the enterprise team, the EF org, and the broader @ethereum community. Onwards!

@alexdimes7 @Polkadot @paritytech @Web3foundation One of the most professional, impressive people I’ve ever worked with!!

After 4 years in the @Polkadot ecosystem, and 3 years shaping it from @paritytech / @Web3foundation — I’ve decided to step down and turn the page for my career. It’s been a hell of a ride, and I am nothing but grateful for the experience and having a chance to meet wonderful people from which I’ve learned and grew. As it always has been, and as many OGs (or anyone that has spent 6/7+ years in the space knows) — the industry has its ups and downs. And that’s completely fine. Don’t get overwhelmed by it, don’t take it too seriously — as the wheel will keep spinning;-) IYKYK When it comes to my next step — I definitely want to stay in the industry and keep fixing the gaps wherever possible, until crypto and immutable infrastructure become a superior database or record for massive consumer and economic rails. But this time I’ll try to do it from my stronger points — Finance and Software as a Service. Life is good.

@jgonzalezferrer You did a fantastic job at Billions brother ! i know how hard you worked during these years man.. you need that rest !! 🫶

I’ve decided to quit my job at Billions and take an extended break After 5 nonstop years working in web3, I’m taking some time off to focus on my health, body and mind I'm gonna miss a lot working with the Billions community and team! My DMs are always open if you need anything Best! Javi

@emceecoy_ @AleoHQ @a16zcrypto @cbventures @galaxyhq @SoftBank @variantfund @SamsungNext @Tiger_Global @placeholdervc @etherealvc Congrats Mike

I’m excited to share that I’m joining @AleoHQ as Head of Business Development. For finance to truly scale on crypto rails, privacy can’t be optional. Institutions, enterprises, and users won’t operate in a world where balances, positions, strategies, and identities are fully transparent by default. True privacy on protocols changes that. Aleo enables real, necessary use cases: - Payments (Payroll, B2B, PSPs) - National Security & DefenseTech Value Transfer - Credit & Lending Markets - Tokenized MMFs, Equities, RWA's - Prediction Markets & Gambling - Donation Platforms Without sacrificing programmability or decentralization. Crypto that is usable for the real economy. In the coming weeks we have some exciting products and assets that enable these use cases to come to fruition. Stay tuned.

@WhaleFUD but Y ?

BREAKING: The EU is building its own social media platform named “W"

@hotpot_dao I’m always bullish on DeFi composability because it seems like there are no limits to what we can done. Ofcourse as you said coordination is the key as a chain

if you are as old as me, you would have remembered the DeFi money Lego days each defi 1.0 app does one thing well, and together they form a financial system. i think about the money lego a lot because that's how one get 1+1>2 effect, and that's how one get apps that stick with each other but also, that means 10x more coordination work for the chain ( aka core team) ah back to work

@TrustlessState Thanks David for the support
