hiring across the board for the next phase of kaito (more coming soon publicly - join now and help shape it) - marketing lead (singapore w/ visa sponsorship, or remote) - BD manager & associate (singapore w/ visa sponsorship, or US-based) more details:

two mental gymnastics on a sunday: - how much does the current $HYPE price in for hip3 and hip4 fees (think around 500mn/yr) - why on earth is $MEGA funding rate still positive, given the high apr for the expected kpi milestone/flux?

to all the founders and teams out there: remember, CT is one of the roughest places on earth the overwhelming majority of the audience here is either here for the money or for the drama all while you’re managing a team, executing, and building through this chaos and noise it can wear you down sometimes but please never let it get the best of you nothing here determines where your project is a year from now what matters, always, is the quiet, consistent work that compounds behind the scenes let’s keep going

congrats to the @megaeth team to a lot of the people who are still here, this represents what crypto is truly about - innovating something different - the chain, the business model, the incentive mechanism - culture - 0 middlemen - letting ordinary community win it's moments like this that give me hope for the future of our industry onwards

i’ve read through the comments, and i understand where everyone is coming from firstly, this sucks. no platform wants to be in a position where terms are changed. there is nothing to gain from doing that, and i fully recognize how frustrating this may feel here is what happened: the billions team came to us in March that there's major exchange listing obstacle with 5.6% day 1 launchpad unlock and needed to revise the terms (with lockups) we explored several alternatives, but ultimately could not land on a solution that satisfied all parties with a viable path to launch while we don't agree with it in principle, the truth is, tge in the current environment is hard. at the time, polymarket implied only around a 40% probability of billions launching above the breakeven level of 100mn FDV, meaning the expected value of the launch was below the raise valuation (today, that number is around 80%) as a platform, the last thing we want is for users to lose money. so we pushed for a full refund option to be included to make users whole (option A) that said, i fully understand the frustration. nobody wants to see the structure they originally signed up for change. we will speak with the billions team again after all the feedback today. will be back with updates.

from chatting with @Jihoz_Axie about this last year - excited to have our first content contest going live on youtube and tiktok user-generated, permissionless, and performance-based excited to build together - with much more to come!

pretty phenomenal how HYPE sentiment has changed from the bottom a year go (JellyJelly) next metric is to watch for is how HYPE mindshare propagates beyond the crypto circle (normies + tradfi) feels inevitable for us to build to track that

i’ve read all the feedback in detail, and i really appreciate everyone who took the time to share their thoughts our fundamental goal here is unchanged vs before - we want to help bring new opportunities to the market in a way that is more accessible, more transparent, and more merit- and impact-based i expected there would be mixed reactions. the reality is that not every opportunity is meant for everyone, and that is okay. if a particular one is not a fit for you, i encourage you to check out the upcoming ones - different brands, different formats, and different reward ranges at the same time, i’ve also seen a lot of people, including users of the product, genuinely excited because this sits on top of things they are already doing. and i think that is a good sign too at the end of the day, any marketplace has to start somewhere. now we get to build with all of you thank you again for all the messages. the good thing is that we are back on offense for the journey ahead - and we’ll keep listening, iterating, and working to close the gap between where things are today and where we believe this can go

software is becoming commoditized distribution is getting harder and that is exactly why distribution matters more than ever we believe the future of distribution will be shaped by two networks: - the social network, built on people and trust - and the machine network, built on agents and intelligence Kaito is building for both today, Kaito Studio beta is our first step: a network for human trust, real alignment, and meaningful opportunity what we are building starts in crypto, but it will not stop there a big part of 2026 is about taking this further - expanding the network, broadening the surface area, and building for a much bigger future for now, opportunities will continue ramping over the coming weeks as more brands finalize their profiles and program details we’re building for the long term come build with us

thank you for the hundreds of support messages in my inbox - really appreciate it will get back to everyone over the coming days for those who think kaito is gg'ed i'd say this turn of events opens up a much bigger TAM for us to conquer onwards

it still feels surreal to see something that started as a simple idea move so much closer to reality what if... people could just trade trends? social data - mindshare/sentiment/popularity, etc - are inherently backward-looking however, when combined with prediction markets and perp dexs, it unlocks forward-looking signals that indicate future trends we’re getting closer and closer to making that real it’s been almost 1.5 years since I first met @gabri3l, and the journey since has been incredible building from first principles isn’t easy - but exploring the frontier of what’s possible is exactly what makes it exciting can't be more excited about this strategic partnership @noise_xyz x @KaitoAI

$CHECK at all-time-high despite a tough market silver lining to all is adoption and product traction do matter ready to explore more innovative collabs with @jesusislord and the @AnichessGame team!
