With GENIUS Act now law, Amazon + Walmart are coming onchain. (+ more retailers following behind) Stablecoin rails could double grocery margins and add 60% to retailer valuations by removing payment friction. And you’d be surprised how many web2 CFOs are looking into stables now: - grocery stores already operate on 1-3% margins. All of their payment fees are brutal to their small margins. - stablecoin payments flip this. near-zero fees, instant settlement, no chargebacks. - walmart processes $600B+ annually. saving 1% on payment costs = $6B straight to bottom line. Plus they gain speed advantage on top of cost savings. Instant settlement means better cash flow. real-time payments enable stuff that wasn't possible before. The GENIUS Act gave retailers the regulatory clarity they were waiting for. Super excited for all the pilot programs coming in Q4 2025 (full rollouts expected by 2026).

A chain on its own is an incomplete product.

I moved my family to Malaysia to work directly with local builders. @TerezaBizkova asked me why in our @hackernoon interview. And to me it’s quite simple: there's a certain prestige in partnering with Harvard or Cambridge. but what excites me is working with universities in Thailand or Laos. So much untapped talent. bright, driven people who just need a door to open. They can't exactly board the next flight to SF and plug into VC networks. even if they could get a visa, cost makes it unreachable. But here's what i've learned: the builders in these regions have something different. grit. sharp economic awareness from navigating systems that don't play fair. That environment breeds builders who aren't chasing hype. they're solving for something urgent and real. That's why i believe builders in these regions are going to shape the open economy. That’s why we’re building @_openeconomy. In Season 1 of Campus, 14 teams flew in first season - from US, Canada, Kenya, India. The energy was incredible, they shipped really cool projects, but also formed life-long connections between themselves. Truly magical. And btw, Season 2 just launched last week.

You can build anything in a weekend. So, here's 10 projects we wanna see at Campus season 2. If you build it, and we like it, we'll give you a seat. 1. Your personal wine shopper 2. Acorns, but for crypto 3. A platform for stories / games that help kids become bilingual 4. Something that launches one product a week. First 100 people who give feedback get upside when it's live 5. Dating app with zkDID that can fact check how real your photos are 6. Something novel with creator tokens 7. AI hedge fund that provides more transparency for LPs 8. time dot fun but for professional network 9. Loyalty points swap market 10. v0 for lawyers: automate contract drafting process Comment "ship" and we'll check in with you in 48 hrs.

Wait...i've been telling people for years we use ZK for scaling not for privacy....

$20M+ spent on @ether_fi Cash and counting. People are buying literally everything (and getting crypto back for it). No off-boarding to fiat. No crazy fees. Up to 3% cashback. Plus other rewards running in parallel. The flywheel is spinning.

Your idle USDC is getting destroyed every single day. Most people think stablecoins are "safe" because the price stays at $1. But there’s a wealth killer that’s hiding in plain sight:

10 years ago, it was just a dream. Today, @ethereum is powering: - $140B+ in stablecoins - countless DeFi projects - yield-bearing assets - NFTs and creator economies - decentralized social platforms - autonomous AI agents - cross-border payments - tokenized RWAs - prediction markets - DAOs - privacy with ZK - gaming - supply chain tracking - direct artist royalties - global freelancer payments - investing platforms and launchpads - and so much more Most of this didn't exist 5 years ago. And none of it required asking permission. 10 years in, forever more to go. Happy birthday, Ethereum.

10 years ago, a smallholder coffee farmer had limited access to credit. Now, thanks to @ethereum and our believers like @ayahq_ and @Scroll_ZKP, a smallholder coffee farmer in Embu owns assets onchain and is connected to global investors. Believe in Something. # Ethereumat10
