token launchpads have rapidly evolved over the past year. the first generation of these launchpads (eg pump) focused primarily on memes and demonstrated the massive market demand, generating ~$600M in revenue and creating 8.6B tokens created on Solana. the second wave included protocols and platforms like @clanker (social-first token launchers), @virtuals (AI-agent tokens), and @flaunchgg (novel mechanics on uni v4), which collectively have expanded the design space for issuing tokens with more sophisticated mechanism designs. recent entrants like @yapster have introduced gamified social elements, while devfun and @ohara-ai are pioneering text-prompted mini-app creation with native tokens.

In fact (and even though i hate to admit this), @spvenino has a sick collection of digital art that he's been avidly collecting over the last five years. we share it on our website + have all our favorite digital collectibles/art displayed on nft screens in our office

Stablecoin volumes in December alone eclipsed Visa’s Q4 volume; tokenized funds have become the marginal buyer of U.S. debt; the top 20 web3 protocols generate >$1bn in aggregate monthly revenue. The future is here. One-by-one the skeptics have capitulated and there has never been a better time to invest in the visionary founders championing the onchain future. We’re proud our Fund I *portfolio* reflects the leaders of this transformation, and we’re excited to double down on our conviction and continue to capitalize on this generational opportunity as Strobe.

It has been the joy and highlight of my career to build BlockTower VC alongside @tklocanas & @winnie. They’re not just amazing partners but I also have the privilege of calling them true friends.

📢 Breaking news. ⌛ In the last couple of months, we've been heads down building. And we got tired of waiting. During our closed beta, we’ve authorized hundreds of thousands of transactions to understand the needs of a web3 access management system. 📖 Today, we’ve released it fully open-source. Including a key vault for signing EVM transactions. We believe you should be able to build an institutional wallet stack from entirely open-source components. 🎛 The Armory Stack is an access management system tailored for use cases that need strong authentication and fine-grained authorization. It is designed to secure the usage of private keys, wallets, and web3 applications. 👉 Learn more in our blog post: https://mirror.xyz/0xaee67BE46Ff55482af24c553b8D32e5EC568D150/wcCVkRLpo_1li8uFZI4B7rLIp_Z-vqejxZHTeWkQncg

Progress remain steady but slow... Who would have thought programming a robot to paint emotionally evocative portraits would be so complicated.

Another WIP and I search for a look where machines are reflecting on the image to incorporate as much emotionality as possible. Once I find it I will know, close but still searching...

Does RFK have <5% chance of winning the Presidency, as reflected on @polymarket? DNC & Trump attacking hard (notable uptick by Trump) The sad state of the corrupt two-party system in the U.S. makes it hard to price…either way 4.4% seems off

Minted #289 of 'Memes'. Absolutely incredible experience to 'co-design/create' this with the legend @batz.eth, who has easily created one of the coolest, most unique and fun experiences in all of web3. This is modern art; this is 'why crypto' 🤌🤝
