The side event meta by @BurntBanksy: "As a project, a side event is non-negotiable" You have to make others fall in love with your product, period: "No one cares about your product unless you make them care. If you can be entertaining on stage, it's worth something" Main event vs side ones? Covered it as well: "I will never step foot into a main event if I'm not speaking. Side events are a much better use of time"

this is what happens when a crypto company uses AI to generate sports prediction markets @coinbase is hallucinating results for a World Cup game that hasn’t even been played yet and sending factually incorrect notifications to its millions of users as “breaking news” dangerous and irresponsible

Some of you are reading this as a logo change. cute. you're wrong. XION's rebrand to @verona_dev isn't a boob job or a lip filler done to beautify. we didn't wake up bored of the colors. XION shipped for years. the chain works. what changed is what the thing is, not how it looks in a pfp. why though? ai is racing toward agents that act, pay, and prove what's real. a generic chain with an "ai" sticker can't hold that. it needs a layer built for it. that's verona. the intelligence layer for ai. everything after this is downstream of that one call. litepaper's already live. read it before you tweet or don't. We'll go deeper into what that means anyways docs.verona.dev/en/about-veron… ero is live today. not a testnet, not a waitlist. live. a dozen more apps right behind it. all fit the positioning. all on rev-share back to the network. And these apps aren't for the average joe. They are not a farm-it-all-and-dump machine with a ui. real tools for people who actually need them. they hold up after the points stop. if your whole game is extract and rotate out, good, they're not for you. that's the design, not a bug. Now the exchange thing, because half of you fumbled it. you didn't read it. they're making the changes a chain upgrade and rebrand forces. ticker. branding. pairs. and that takes time, because every wallet, explorer and integration has to move with it. a chain-level rebrand is a process, not a switch you flip on a tuesday. anyone yelling "delisted" is either not paying attention or hoping you aren't. The hard truth, tho, is that everything is worthless if it never accrues value. you can write the best story in crypto. doesn't matter if value never routes back to the asset you hold. a product != price. always been my take. story without mechanics is just content. content doesn't pay you. so the "new" model will be out soon. all the revenue, all the rev-share, all the income this network earns. where it goes, what it does, when it lands. that's the part that makes the story real instead of a paint job. i'm not spoiling the mechanics here. stay close. this is the announcement of an announcement of an announcement. add it up. new name, sure. but also, a chain that already works, live apps with real demand, a dozen more on rev-share, a migration doing exactly what it should, and a model around the one number that ends every argument. that's not a wrapper on the old thing. it's a long game, and it goes loud today. This wasnt a one day thing anyways. Welcome to fair Verona.
