5,000+ builders have now joined Crypto World's Fair.
Our fund is aiming to invest in the top 10-20 founders. Some will already have traction, others will be in the early process of turning their side project into a full-time startup.
All will have that dawg in them.
We compiled a comprehensive developer resources kit for Crypto World's Fair builders.
All of the docs, tutorials, etc needed to integrate with Solana, Tempo, Ethereum L1, HyperCore/HyperEVM, Arbitrum One, Base, Zcash, and Robinhood Chain can be found at
I found a version of solana:oreoU2P8bN6jkk3jbaiVxYnG1dCXcYxwhwyK9jSybcp which:
- has no native yield
- has potential for a hidden inflation bug
- isn’t built on the world’s most performant chain
- isn't natively composable with a growing DeFi ecosystem
Oh and it trades at ~750x the market cap of @ORE.
I found a version of zcash:native which:
- broadcasts your entire transaction history to the whole world
- is not quantum secure and has no credible path to be
- has no real plans to scale the chain to support global usage
Oh and it trades at ~60x the market cap of Zcash.
A rare quality we look for when investing in founders is an almost religious conviction in what they’re building.
A belief that it needs to exist, and bringing it to life is their mission.
A conviction so strong it forms a gravity well that attracts a community of believers.
@notthreadguy Several people in the MetaDAO community including myself believe that decision markets working is existential to humanity's survival & thriving
Ya you could keep complaining about Clarity not passing, or you could build truly censorship resistant protocols that don't need permission from any nation state.
While Crypto World's Fair is online, we're inviting a select group of founders to build IRL at our San Francisco office during the last 2 weeks of the hackathon.
Approved builders get a desk/monitor + an interview for our next accelerator batch.

Cloak mainnet is live.
Onchain finance shouldn't mean public finance.
Cloak keeps your balances, amounts, and counterparties private, while letting you prove exactly what matters to exactly the people who need to see it.
Private by default. Auditable when required.
⚡ 0% protocol fees on USDC transactions for launch week.
In about 45 min, Colosseum's cofounders @mattytay, @crabbylions & @n8levine will be kicking off Crypto World's Fair with insights on how hackathon teams should structure their time, what to submit, etc.

We continue to call @colosseum competitions “hackathons” for a reason.
While we’re ultimately looking to fund startups, the very best companies rarely start as one. They often begin as a side project someone can’t stop working on, an idea that seems too small or too weird to be a business, until it creates a market nobody saw coming.
Rebranding what we do as a “startup competition” risks attracting people chasing metas or larping as startup founders.
Even though Colosseum is structurally different from a traditional hackathon, we've found "Hackathon” attracts builders chasing what genuinely interests them.
And I believe that’s where the outliers come from.

What makes these solana:oreoU2P8bN6jkk3jbaiVxYnG1dCXcYxwhwyK9jSybcp paired memecoin experiments unique is the potential for a compounding loop. If a large % of solana:G1jonmoSEbMJSwEg1AmgDAJq2utmuBSZct8oqttBf9rT is deposited into the reserve, holding GRAMS earns you ORE, then staking that ORE earns you more ORE via protocol yield.
Thus, a trencher flywheel is born.
I was just made aware I own 14% of the supply (I forgot I bought some when I launched because I'm special like that).
I will donate 100,000,000 GRAMS to the ORE Reserve.

just to clear here. this was just a test of Stonk, as i try out almost every onchain app in existence.
i support all ORE paired memecoins! thank you for your attention to this matter.
Hadn't tested out Stonk yet, so I just launched MINER, a memecoin paired with @ORE, Solana's SoV asset.
Out of the trenches and into the mines, as they say. ⛏️

Trenchers, it's time to get in the mines.
You can now launch coins paired with solana:oreoU2P8bN6jkk3jbaiVxYnG1dCXcYxwhwyK9jSybcp, from @ORE on StonkFun.
$25,000 is up for grabs at @colosseum's Crypto World's Fair for startups looking to bring a cracked product to Arbitrum One
