I've joined @TorqueProtocol as Head of Growth 🫡 Hyped to be back on Solana, solving one of crypto's biggest hurdles: sustainable growth. Torque turns data into predictable growth loops. we've scaled from Colosseum winners to driving $5B+ in volume for Raydium, Axiom, and USD1. Shout out to @SuperteamUK and the House of Sol community for the support, and the welcome back to the ecosystem 🙌 P.S. If you wanna chat growth, agentic incentives, or what we're up to at Torque, drop me a DM.

Tired of these DPRK hacks. So I built the ultimate defense. DPRKaptcha[.]com Simple questions with existential outcomes (for them). Live now to protect the internet from North Korea.
THIS IS INSANE. In just 4 days following the biggest exploit ever, Mercado Bitcoin is hacked for $40M and an EU exchange is hacked for $106M today. Is anything safe anymore??? 🤯

Introducing tiny.london A massive isometric pixel map of London, based on amazing NYC demo by @_coenen from 9 months ago My agent created the dataset, finetuned qwen image LoRA adapter, did a multiday inference run and built an efficient tile viewer!
I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code.

I helped build @vectordotfun. It was a really wild ride. It's been fascinating watching @fomo's rise this year. Wrote down some reflections and lessons in this piece.

During the depths of the 2022 crypto bear market, @scotsmancrypto was telling anyone who’d listen to buy silver. Four years later, he’s bringing 150,000oz of it onchain on @solana Here's the story about the Scotsman obsessed with Silver:
Last week was another great week building @Dominion_Market We finalised our application for @colosseum We attended Demo Dinner with @SuperteamUK and pitched to a room full of founders and investors Lastly, we attended the @Spiko_finance and @Amundi_ENG event at House of Sol Shout out to @SolanaFndn @CapinUK @archill @iiaashiii

For the Americans and others who don't know "It's coming home" isn't a song about success or confidence, it's a song about failure. It's literally written into the lyrics. "Everyone seems to know the score, they've seen it all before They just know, they're so sure That England's gonna throw it away, gonna blow it away" We sing it because of our past, we sing it because it's a reminder and we sing it because it's a fucking great song.
as someone who really just tuned into the world cup heavily this year, the announcer just said england hasn't been to the final in 60 years? is that right? you guys have been saying that it's coming home thing for 60 years??? and it hasn't been home since then???
