Inside crypto grants funding with @thriveprotocol CEO Daniel Jacobs @thrivegiraffe x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
gThrive... This morning I was meditating on a simple phrase: "What I do today defines my tomorrow." And I had a thought: How I build. How I communicate. How I love. It all matters. A lot. That thought made me feel good about today... and even better about tomorrow.
One of the biggest traps of crypto is the belief that hype creates value. But optimizing for hype builds habits that kill momentum. When you build value, the signal compounds. And the hype? It shows up anyway. Because value doesn’t whisper forever. That's the bet we've placed…
gThrive... This morning my seven-year old daughter asked me: "Papa, how do you make a smile last forever?" I thought it was a beautiful question. But I didn't know the answer. So I asked her. She thought awhile, then said: "Maybe if you do it with your heart..."
You came to crypto because you want to be judged based on the value you create. Not your pedigree. Not your politics. Just real, onchain impact. You wanted to build something real. Change your life. Maybe your family’s too. You had a vision. Maybe an MVP. Maybe traction.…
For too long, crypto mistook hype for progress. The @thriveprotocol whitepaper sets a new course: A real economy. Built by builders. Verified by outcomes. Intro excerpt below. Full release coming soon.🌱

Let’s do a BuilderFi Challenge. No cap on how many winners. Pitch us on what you’re building onchain by this Monday at midnight. Website, demo, thread, all of the above, whatever, you decide. Go big, blow us away. Quote RT this + tag us. If you win we’ll reward you.…
I’m a huge fan of @owocki and @gitcoin. We supported them across @arbitrum, @0xPolygon and beyond. Sad to see Grants Lab wind down. Grateful for what they built, and who they are. This deepens my commitment to make @thriveprotocol the home for builders growing crypto GDP.🌱
Today, I’m sharing one of the most difficult decisions we’ve had to make since the inception of Gitcoin. We’ve made the call to wind down Grants Lab, the primary software development unit behind Gitcoin, and are parting ways with several deeply talented and mission-aligned team…
THE THRIVE MANIFESTO Build real. Build valuable. Build like it matters. Crypto wasn’t meant to be hype. It was meant to be a system of real value. Built by the many, not the few. But somewhere along the way, we got lost in the noise: Pump cycles. Vanity metrics. Short-term…
👀 BUILD REAL. BUILD VALUABLE. COMING SOON. @thriveprotocol @thrivegiraffe

A teammate at @thriveprotocol just called. He was overwhelmed with life, workload, too much all at once. "What do I do?" he asked. I shared words a mentor once told me: Everything feels urgent. Very little is actually important. Find that gap and you’ll win at life.✨
Some people build to be seen. Others build because they see something. You can tell the difference.
If you liked my Builder Weekend Challenge last week, congrats. We've now made it official.👀 It's fun, easy, and lucrative for Builders in crypto to create value with @thriveprotocol. Join us. Build Real.🌱
MYSTERY BOX FRIDAY What's in the box? Show us your demo to find out. THE CHALLENGE: Post a 30+ second demo of something you're building onchain or crypto-centric right now. Think "outside the box". Creativity + wild ideas welcome. Tag #ThriveMysteryBox and @thriveprotocol…
Most capital in crypto follows noise. At @thriveprotocol, we follow signal. • Proven builders • Validated value • Transparent rewards It’s not flashy. It’s not hype. But it’s how you build an economy that lasts. It’s how you power Crypto GDP.
