The news is out! Couldn't be more excited to announce that I'm back in the ring as a builder. Coming on as a co-founder to Miden with our $25M seed fundraise being co-led by @a16zcrypto , @1kxnetwork , and @hack-vc My co-founder Bobbinis genuinely the most impressive person I've met in Web3 in the 13 years I've spent in this space. And this is no exaggeration. Brilliant, humble, and hustles like no other. Vitalik brought him into Web3 and got him working at the EF years ago on zk, then he went to Meta where he led the zk team, and is a Polygon cofounder as well. When I say the most impressive, I mean it. Privacy, scalability, and decentralization, with the ability to offer compliance. That's what separates Miden from just another blockchain. And we're going to be bringing institutions on chain with this. If you're a builder in this space, I'd love to hear from you. My DMs are open.

One of my 2025 goals has been to become as good at DeFi as some of the people I meet on here. If I think honestly about this industry, it's where I've spent the least time. I figured the best way to start going about this would be to start using protocols that I've been hearing about in the DeFi space and then to write about them. For my first attempt at doing this, I wrote about starting to stake $SOL with Inshallah.Fi. Going to stake some $ETH with them next now after the seamless experience. It made even more sense to go with this first because I've been spending time trying to explore the link between Islamic Finance and crypto can come together to bring the 2 billion Muslims on chain. A massive influx of capital is coming into crypto from the team(s) who solve this. Curious to hear thoughts and would love opinions on protocols I should try next. https://www.azeemkhan.com/p/shariah-compliant-crypto-bridging?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

The biggest meta of 2024 has absolutely been memecoins in web3. Some people are fans. Other people aren't. What I chose to write about for CoinDesk on this one is that regardless of where you stand on memecoins, they're simply not easy money. Especially easy as the way people are made to believe when they think about trading them. Unlike other critics of memecoins, I'm absolutely in favor of people trading them as much as they'd like, and I do believe if you're good about them, they do seem like the easiest way to generate large amounts of personal capital very quickly. In light of all the high FDV, low float infra tokens that have launched this year at bloated valuations that leave no upside for retail, it only made sense that memecoins would take off. A place where retail could earn double and triple digit on their money in a short period of time.
