This seems kinda bad by vercel? Am I wrong?
We barely use it now, but applying these things by default, reminds me of their predatory pricing with the concurrent build thing.

@0xSpaydh @joe4deadcat For sure, and it’s the end of a chapter but will open up a new one.
It’s part of building startups

@simonch00 @joe4deadcat Thanks man 🙏 Trying to keep a healthy sense of priorities :)

Today, I made the incredibly difficult decision to transition Neutron to long term support.
It is never easy to close a 4 year + chapter, and I wish we had been able to deliver more successful outcomes to all who bet on us as a team and project.
Yet I'm tremendously proud of our team, our work, and our consistent drive to maintain our integrity and transparency, even in tough times.
All in all, we shipped infrastructure that secured >$100M TVL, facilitated close to $2bn in trading volume, and never lost a user dollar.
We pioneered a more integrated / opinionated approach to building blockchains and L1 ecosystems, which is now being validated by industry-defining projects such as Tempo and Hyperliquid.
I am also tremendously grateful for all of the help and support we received throughout the journey - from our partners, backers and community - and for having the opportunity to work and learn alongside you each day for the last 4 years.
For now, my priority is to return as much value as possible to all stakeholders: teammates, users, builders, and backers.
To this effect, over the next few months, I'll continue to shepherd the remaining work to make Neutron safe and sustainable without our active involvement longer term.
Thank you all for your time, and for believing in us.

Guys this is the risk of plugging your agents in your sensitive flows and why we are a long way away from having them fully in finance apps.
Agents in moderation 🙏
JP@jpthor
Whoops. Woke up to everyone asking me why i was quitting telegram groups. One of my agents went a bit rogue and nuked my entire telegram, Gmail and iCloud mail 😅 I had asked it to go thru, learn me, save important data, delete old irrelevant emails/messages. It optimised too effectively 💀 Brave new world. The only memory of those messages are now saved in it is memory files - guess I’m stuck with my agent now 🤣

@litcapital With how much missiles cost tbh it just makes sense

@Aabbhhz It's just the old dropshippers bros that pivoted to NFTs and now Ai

@MG_web3 @HorusGroup_ Yeah crypto was spoiled for so long, and now more than ever need proof.
Too much capital was lit on fire
English
most people are just still stuck writing decks, trying to sell the story, not the signal.
everyone knows fundraising in crypto is harder than ever.
median deal size up ~100%. early-stage deals down ~35%. 85% of last year's tokens below launch price.
@horusgroup_ runs GTM and IR for projects in the middle of this right now - the capital didn't disappear. it got ruthless.
the founders closing aren't the ones with the best decks.
they're the ones with distribution, a real wedge, and traction before they opened the round. not something that only works in a bull run.
capital is still out there. it's just done being patient. the window to build something real and fundable is actually wide open.

@StaniKulechov Who the fk buys 50M of a token in one hit?
Something’s off, don’t most use mms to get in and out of large positions?
English
Earlier today, a user attempted to buy AAVE using $50M USDT through the Aave interface.
Given the unusually large size of the single order, the Aave interface, like most trading interfaces, warned the user about extraordinary slippage and required confirmation via a checkbox. The user confirmed the warning on their mobile device and proceeded with the swap, accepting the high slippage, which ultimately resulted in receiving only 324 AAVE in return.
The transaction could not be moved forward without the user explicitly accepting the risk through the confirmation checkbox.
The CoW Swap routers functioned as intended, and the integration followed standard industry practices. However, while the user was able to proceed with the swap, the final outcome was clearly far from optimal.
Events like this do occur in DeFi, but the scale of this transaction was significantly larger than what is typically seen in the space.
We sympathize with the user and will try to make a contact with the user and we will return $600K in fees collected from the transaction.
The key takeaway is that while DeFi should remain open and permissionless, allowing users to perform transactions freely, there are additional guardrails the industry can build to better protect users. Our team will be investigating ways to improve these safeguards going forward.

@Aabbhhz This too,
Since being back in Aus realising how fucked up on ramping is here too.

@simonch00 i just think people outside the bubble had no appetite for such products & platforms

@jbarro Why? Why does it matter? I don’t understand.
Are they trying to bring DEI to investing?

California has a new law requiring VC firms to ask the founders of the companies they fund whether they're gay. (They're allowed to decline to answer, but the funds aren't allowed to decline to ask.) x.com/investing_law/…
The Investments Lawyer (Michael Huseby)@investing_law
🚨California’s New *Demographic Reporting Law* for VC Funds (Mandatory Registration Starts March 1, 2026 🗓️) California just enacted one of the most significant *mandatory* state-level compliance regimes ever imposed on venture capital firms. The Fair Investment Practices by Venture Capital Companies Law (Corp. Code Div. 2.5, Title 4) requires certain VC firms with a California nexus to register with the state and file annual demographic and investment reports starting in 2026. Here’s what fund sponsors and lawyers need to know. ➡️Who Is Covered⬅️ A “covered entity” is a venture capital company that: 1️⃣ Primarily invests in startup, early-stage, or emerging growth companies; and 2️⃣ Has a California nexus, which includes the following: · VC fund headquartered in California. · VC fund has a significant presence or operational office in California. · VC fund makes venture capital investments in businesses that are located in, or have significant operations in, California. · VC fund solicits or receives investments from a person who is a resident of California. Bottom line: It’s going to apply to tons of VC funds. ➡️What Covered Entities Must Do⬅️ Here are the immediate next steps for VC funds with a California nexus. 1. Register with DFPI (Due March 1, 2026) Covered entities must register with the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI), providing basic identifying and contact information and updating it annually. 2. File an Annual Report (Due April 1, 2026, and annually thereafter) The annual report covers venture capital investments made during the prior calendar year and must include the information described below. Founding-Team Demographics (Aggregated & Anonymous) For each portfolio company funded during the year, the firm must report aggregated survey data from founding team members regarding: · Gender identity · Race and ethnicity · LGBTQ+ status · Disability and veteran status · California residency · Whether founders declined to provide information Key guardrails: · Surveys must be voluntary · Conducted after the investment closes · Include a clear “decline to state” option · Reported only in anonymized, aggregate form Investment Metrics Covered entities must also report: · The total dollar amount invested in each portco · Each portfolio company’s principal place of business · Percentage and dollar amount of investments in companies primarily founded by “diverse” founders ➡️Non-Compliance Penalties⬅️ · DFPI can bring enforcement actions and impose penalties for non-compliance. · Records supporting the annual report must be retained for at least five years. · Reports will be publicly available. ➡️Next Steps for Funds⬅️ 1. Determine whether you have a California nexus (given the very broad definition, this will likely be a significant number of VC funds). 2. Register with the DFPI by March 1. 3. Reach out to your portfolio companies and start collecting information for the April 1 deadline. 4. File your initial report for April 1. 5. Build demographic survey workflows into post-closing processes for future annual reports.

last month was my final month at @Sophon,
my time there has deepened something i already believed in: brand building is a perception game.
media is shifting in real time with ai.
it's already rewriting how attention works, how stories get told, and how brands get built.
im truly excited about the future.
so what's next?
the intersection of crypto, ai, payments, and privacy excite me the most right now. each one of theses verticals play a key role in shaping what our society could look like a decade from today and i want to be a part of that process.

“To the dreamers”
Today we announce KAST has raised a US$80M Series A, co-led by QED and Left Lane.
We launched in July 2024, and initially there was no belief in my thesis that the biggest opportunity wasn’t stablecoins themselves, but building a global-first financial platform on top of stablecoins.
But one step at a time, this changed. Many individuals came into the pre-seed, and Peak XV and Hong Shan led the seed round. Now QED and Left Lane double down with conviction.
Yes it’s a historic day; for a company to go from zero to such a large raise in ~16 months is rare.
But for the people at KAST, the ones who I really need to thank for showing up 24x7 - it’s back to the grind.
We know the only thing that matters, is not flashy raises, but delivering an outstanding product and service to the billions of people who need it, and the customers who trust us everyday. We are not perfect, we are not even two years old, but god damn we try our absolute best.
My final points are to the dreamers and believers. Building KAST, the mission was simple, be the stable backbone to people’s financial life, so they can fly as high as they want.
KAST is built for the dreamers, and KAST is for believers who trusted us from very early. People like me, a simple dreamer.
KAST is so personal to me, because it came from 25 years of trying and failing in life. I built so many side projects, which never went anywhere. I tried so many startups, some which even scaled and then failed.
My parents are now in their late 70s, I thought they’d never see my succeed in the one thing I wanted to do the most, which was to build a generational company which made everyone proud - those who invest in KAST, work at KAST, and those who use KAST.
Whilst we are not there yet, in fact far far from it, I’m evidence that if you just stay crazy and keep believing, and keep rolling the dice… eventually, you might get the momentum for it to happen.
I believe KAST is in the fullness of time, a trillion dollar company for a billion+ people. I’ve never sold a share, and quite the opposite in 2025 kept buying in a lot more.
My conviction is infinite on this one.
People will think I’m stupid to go so deep.
I don’t care.
This is beyond money.
Thanks for all the incredible support.
Now back to work.
Peace ✌🏾

@jpthor But is it still you?
Like even if you upload your mind how do we know that we’d be the ones still experiencing it.
