I've been super impressed by the quality of Metropolis projects! The judging rounds continue, but we can all look forward to some standout winners and honorable mentions. If you're interested in following more dev and builder action, I highly recommend: - @monad_dev - @thestudio_xyz - @DeltaV_xyz

I'm finding myself using AI to help make sense of professionally submitted AI slop. I used to think my own personal hell would be being surrounded by life-size insects. But now I know it's being forced to read infinite unrefined AI 🤮. It's now our job as humans to be literary tastemakers.

The question was: Do apps or blockchains own the user? My take is that it's the EXPERIENCE that captivates an audience. An app has to constantly iterate to keep its users - to bring the best experience possible. While Uber/Lyft offered a better English language uiux than a local Koren ride-hailing app, the drivers I was matched with on Tada offered a much more pleasant experience. I became a temporary user. If the original iPhone didn't change, if Twitter never evolved from the 140 character max... other products bringing better experiences would have taken hold. The same holds true for the blockchain stack. Build and evolve for the continued improved experiences of your users and audience. -- ty to @alexlimasia for the Tada app rec... still have ptsd from some of those Seoul uber rides 😰

Asia tour was quick, hectic, and energizing! Now back in the western hemisphere and it feels good to be at a desk. There is SO MUCH to look forward to in the next few months of Monad. A lot was recently announced and demoed and now I'm really looking forward to seeing it all and more come to life. Monad Private Settlement. Mera and post-quantum preparedness. Cadence and BTX. 100ms block times. We are tackling the next blockchain "trilemma" and doing it head-on. Confidentiality, compliance, composability. Cities weren't built in a day. Empires longer. I'm not losing sight of the vision.

HUGE! Monad Private Settlement. Confidentiality, on a public blockchain natively. Benefits of speed, finality, composabilty of the Monad network with real world access control for privacy and compliance that institutions demand. Privacy on an open blockchain is a reality. @JanCamenisch of @category_xyz presenting.

So much planning, care, and thought has gone into Open and now we’re at the eve of the biggest Monad event to date! I’m honored to be a small part of Monad’s story, and am excited to share more about what’s ahead! Tomorrow. See you there!

Fun at CollectibleCon. Seoul 2026 fit. 💁🏻‍♀️ Get your @monad merch fix at the Human Gatcha Machine booth! ty for the creative direction and edit @TiagoTheCreat0r @renz0x
