Programmable money in the age of agent-driven workflows is going to give us some of the most interesting use cases, I think. Very bullish on stablecoins. @tempo is a phenomenal example. It allows for a whole bunch of things that would be hard to do before. The team at Subvisual has been messing around with it, and built an deadman's switch during the testnet phase. Extremely useful for decentralised finance, but quite tricky to achieve. @naps62 wrote a little something about it, check it out.

@Zharta Awesome folks!

Number of startups killed today? Any guess?

London's great. May have to return.

@dscape @pcbo @hypermarioal @onchainlisbon @onunoreis @huvoliveira

@pcbo @hypermarioal @onchainlisbon @onunoreis @huvoliveira @rmdmac You have my axe

Just submitted a proposal to bring @EFDevcon to Lisbon in 2027 🇵🇹 Lisbon has the builder density, the infrastructure, the track record, and the community to host the best Devcon yet. If you want Devcon in Europe, go show some love 👇 forum.devcon.org/t/proposed-loc…

@jpoliveira_pt @carvalheira1 you around @carvalheira1? long time...

@rmdmac @carvalheira1

Friends, who's down for a pint this week in London?

@dscape @KevinJDCS @chrija Yep there at same time. Down to meet :) Might bring the recently collected risk club hat

@KevinJDCS @chrija @rmdmac i think is in town too

In London on Wed/Thu. I know this question has become a bit of a meme ... but ... who should I meet?

I'll be in London this week! If you're there and want to catch a coffee, drop by Starbase or drop me a line and we'll schedule something. I'll be there Wednesday and Thursday. London, let's make things happen 🚀

What if your stablecoins could earn you Bitcoin every day? Introducing ern.app

151 days since mainnet launch, and @Plasma has officially cleared $250B in cumulative @USDT0_to transfer volume. What began as a specialized vision for stablecoin-native infrastructure has rapidly scaled into a high-velocity liquidity layer. Here is the data behind the maturation of the network

@TokenBrice @bjnpck Awesome🙌

@rmdmac @bjnpck Took a while to iterate on the claude md and rules but yes, especially if you have curve representing maths, you'll need to provide him with the formula and context, judge by yourself - polarisfinance.io

My addictions: - Honey - Claude (Claude Code users, do try out that /insight feature it is amazing to level up your game)

@TokenBrice @bjnpck Are the infographics reliable? Just had that convo with my team

Max plan + Claude code + Yakuake (drop down terminal popping when a set shortcut is pressed) Main usages (instances of claude with their own sub claude md and rules): - Polaris-art: draws the Polaris infographics - webdev: polaris landing page claude - endeavour-os-helper: claude aware of all my system (hardware and software), helping me with Linux questions and configs - polaris-content: Claude aware of all the Polaris content, used for refinement on articles, to suggest titles or taglines (content itself is handwritten for max soul) - research claude: webscrapping pro & clearly instructed for information hierarchy => used to research whatever is needed, digest a WP, provide context on a team/person before a call, etc. I am only a few weeks into serious usage of Claude If you were talking about honey: need

Yield-bearing stablecoins like USDe grew significantly in 2025. It goes without saying they're not replacing USDT or USDC. Entirely different product. Dunno if I have a take here, but I do find it interesting that stablecoins are moving well beyond their original use case.

I may be biased, but this feels like a nice place to work.

Who'd've thunk it

OK, so a quick little thread (these aren't threads anymore, are they? I should stop saying thread 🙌) about what AI agents actually need from crypto infrastructure. I don't have much patience for idle speculation, this is what I'm actually seeing people ask for. - First of all, agents obviously need wallets. They already have them, in a way. Agents can hold funds, make payments, receive payments, etc. This works on testnets today, but verification in the real world is still something we haven't exactly nailed. - Agents need to prove computation without revealing data. Zk proofs do this. An agent can prove it analyzed information correctly without showing what it analyze, which is great. I think nailing this could be a big deal. - Platform independence is going to be a battleground and I'm very interested in who figures this out. The Universal Commerce Protocol from Microsoft suggests we're nowhere near agents being able to operate like this and if you build an agent on a closed platform, you're reliant on them. You're operating under... well... a protocol. - of course, getting agents to talk to each other: agent-to-agent payments. One agent needs data, another provides it, payment happens automatically, etc. etc. Everyone is working on this, it'll happen at some point. - liability frameworks when agents make mistakes with real capital are a crazy topic as well. I have no idea where we will land on this, but we will have to land somewhere. Will share more as we see how this develops through the year 💪

Asked and answered. More riveting questions like this at the next Starbase in Coimbra.

@mfrs_manuel "to some extent" is definitely carrying some weight here.

@rmdmac Polymarket uses UMA as its oracle for resolving most markets (in particular the most subjective resolutions). Its decentralized at some extent although not perfect

I've become quite interested in prediction markets, lately, and this is one of the more interesting aspects of the whole thing: As these markets expand, how do we resolve these disputes? x.com/trader_53/stat…
