on a quest to grow the GDP of DeFi | Director of DeFi at Near Foundation | prev: Lombard, Gauntlet
I’m excited to announce I’ve joined the Near Foundation leadership team as Director of DeFi as of July 1st. Over the last couple months, I was lucky to speak with countless teams, think about why I’m in crypto, and where we are going from here. Hopefully this post share a bit…
Congrats to @SelfProtocol for shipping a great solution and driving real distribution Excited for a world where it’s easy to verify your identity onchain without revealing your personal data

reliability is one of the most important traits a person can develop
Vibes are immaculate in SF 🔥
SF office vibes are on the rise. Side note: @NearKatToken Gummies? Surprisingly good.
This is pretty goated Excited to see chain frictions continue to get removed from DeFi UX
One of the largest problems facing DeFi today, both from on UX and capital efficiency, is the fragmentation of liquidity across multiple chains. For @TemplarProtocol I'm proposing a Chain Abstracted Stablecoin Money Market: github.com/Templar-Protoc… Feedback welcome.

The NEAR ecosystem is excited for this strategic partnership with Everclear (@EverclearOrg)! As the clearing market for digital assets grows to a trillion dollar industry, Everclear's adoption of NEAR's tech will be key to solving liquidity fragmentation across chains 🤝
Peanut = Jesus Moodeng = the American Pope I don’t make the rules, I just invest irresponsibly accordingly to them
I think Intents from @NEARProtocol may have product market fit.

Big swaps choose Near Intents
Big swap on NEAR Intents. User swapped 4.64 BTC on @THORSwap. Excluding FE fees it was worth $538,837.44. They received 539,260 USDT on Ethereum. This means they got an extra $423.20. The swap took 3 min 35 sec from mining BTC block till mining Ethereum block.
DeFi App is doing roughly $100M/day of spot + perps volume They also just passed a governance vote to initiate buybacks We call that a $HOME run
𝐃𝐈𝐏-𝟎𝟎𝟒 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝. 80% of protocol revenue now goes to $HOME 𝐛𝐮𝐲𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬. This proposal locks in a core part of the $HOME flywheel: Users trade → Protocol earns → Treasury accumulates → 𝐁𝐮𝐲𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬 strengthen $HOME. Governance in motion.
First day back as an SF resident ✅ Can confirm the city has hit an inflection point and is back on the rise
TIL that Aptos has about $500M of TVL deposited into an emerging market lending company charging 60%+ interest rates w/ 50%+ default rates This is both predatory and terrible business Not all RWAs are equal
My angel portfolio is probably performing better than most VC funds in the space grugmorning
I’m excited to announce that Warlock Labs has completed a deal with @MonkeyTiltPlay to build out the future of on chain trading in @TiltTrade
Huge congrats to @grugcapital and the Warlock team I’m super excited to see @MonkeyTiltPlay dominate in not just the onchain gambling space but the broader casino industry
I am proud to announce that Monkeytilt has formalized a monumental deal with Grug and Warlock Labs. With this, we get people, product and technology.
Explaining American politics to foreigners All Democrats have the same views Republicans have more diversity of thought: rich republicans, religious republicans, racist republicans, reformed republicans, etc.
In a similar vein, it’s become clearer to me that many of the onchain systems that require human participants (DAO governance, liquidations, vault curators, etc) will begin to replace these humans with agents and shade agents
Autonomous businesses will be run by combination of verifiable and unstoppable agents and onchain commercial engine. I call it AI brain with onchain “muscle”. This is what Shade Agents are: - verifiable and confidential AI execution - smart contract to hold assets and…
The founder of a top 10 L1 by market cap just said Near Intents makes Web3 start to feel like magic Let that sink in The future is Near
. @SuiNetwork just plugged into 20+ chains and 80+ assets in one shot. This is the moment Web3 starts to feel like magic.
