I don’t want my future kids to think of crypto as just #meme coins pump.fun. Right now, all the average person sees about crypto are meme coin scandals. Imagine if that’s all it amounted to—that would be a huge regret. Even if I fail today, I’m glad to push forward with consumer-focused crypto products. If I don’t make it, someone else will. But I hope we can make crypto tangible goods accessible to everyone. Don’t wait.

Speculation is free marketing.

🧵 The @ethereum VCs is Completely overshadowed by Pump.fun in this cycle. Traditional business: marketing → purchase → profit. Pump.fun flips it: speculation → free marketing → more speculation → 1% commission No "infrastructure" plays. No "novel tokenomics." No "revolutionary tech." Just pure market dynamics: • See meme • Buy coin • Pump.fun takes 1% And tokenomics? 👀 Jupiter: 40% airdrops @eigenfoundation: 15% to users, 30% to VCs Who’s *actually* building for the community? 🤔 THIS is mass adoption, not your VC-backed "infrastructure" nobody uses. 🤷♂️ The truth? Anything can be speculated on. And where there’s speculation, there’s commission. While VCs found the fastest route to value: Speculation → Free Marketing → More Speculation → Revenue Simple. Direct. Profitable. This is crypto distilled, while VCs build castles in the sky.

🧵 Why we're building against @storyprotocol ($130mm funding)'s approach: 1/4 The blockchain IP industry hasn't found PMF yet. Just like early Bitcoin - starting with CPU mining before knowing if it'd be profitable. @storyprotocol is like jumping straight to ASIC mining with VC backing. 2/4 When a blockchain sector hasn't found PMF yet, you need community-driven grassroots operations. That's us - helping @monad-xyz meme creators financialize memes with blind box NFTs. 3/4 Our approach: every step has a clear PMF. We don't over-invest before providing revenue. @storyprotocol might be the end goal, but you can't start there. 4/4 We start from the ground, build a foundation, then reach for the sky. @storyprotocol's overhead cost is our opportunity 😉 /monad /founders

Why we're building our consumer product on @monad-xyz: 1/ Hardware accessibility = true decentralization @monad-xyzad-xyz: 32GB RAM @seinetwork: 64GB RAM @solana: 256GB RAM Lower RAM requirements = more participants can run nodes = better decentralization 🌐 2/ Complete blockchain stack overhaul 🔄 Custom state DB Parallel execution Async execution Not just upgrades - a total rethink of how blockchains should work. That takes guts. 3/ Founder conviction 💪 2022: Everyone pushed for L2 Easy path? Yes Right path? No @monad-xyzyz chose the harder road: rebuilding consensus, execution & storage from scratch 4/ Vibrant pre-TGE community 🤝 Learning from others: @starknet has amazing tech but uneven token distribution created community friction. onad's approach to community building is exactly what crypto needs. /monad /founders

Hey guys!! I'm helping /monad meme creators to financialize their memes. 🤔A little bit about my background: 1/4 I'm what's called a "third culture kid"—someone who grows up in a country different from their passport country. My most vivid childhood memory? Dragon Mart, Dubai's hub for Chinese goods. I was obsessed with Ultraman toys (the Mickey Mouse of Asia). 2/4 The merchants at Dragon Mart fascinated me. They started with nothing but soon sent their kids to elite schools. My first lesson in business: the best ventures are global from day one! 3/4 Fast forward to 18. During Covid, I dived into financial markets, longing the volatility index with a 2X leveraged ETN. Waking up at 4 AM to watch pre-markets 😵💫, I made $10K. Securitization turns uncertainty into certainty—like how TVIX makes market volatility predictable.

My /scroll airdrop ended yielding an ~APR of 12%. My previous @availproject airdrop made a 1.24x MoM and a ~33% IRR. It’s hard to say goodbye to the season of retail investors’ airdrops.
