Venture Builder @CswapDigital and CEO of @CswapDEX @btc_karma & @ebecca_rwa -- Math and Philosophy @ UC Irvine. MALS @ Reed. Creative Technologist & Dreamer.

Portland Area/Crypto Island
For nearly four years, my team and I have built and launched ambitious DeFi products. Today, the @CswapDigital portfolio spans: • @CswapDEX: DEX and liquidity infrastructure • @btc_karma: native Bitcoin DeFi Staking & Yield • @ebecca_rwa: a unified marketplace for RWAs • cswap.market: Innovative NFT amm (beta) We have proven that our team can design and ship in web3s most important product categories. Now we are expanding beyond Cardano, beginning with Ebecca’s launch on Solana. We are raising strategic capital for CSWAP Digital to scale this portfolio across larger markets. If you are an accredited or institutional investor looking to back an experienced team building across DeFi, Bitcoin, and RWAs, contact me by DM or LinkedIn.
Our newest addition to the cswap.digital portfolio will be launching on @solana. This is an absolute game changer. Think @HyperliquidX + @amazon for RWAs. Stay tuned for platform reveal....

This is a great read. TBH, I'm getting tired of seeing the same recycled RWA concepts. Gacha machines, tokenized stocks, collectibles. Same shit, different packaging. Everyone's focused on tokenizing assets, but almost nobody's focused on making them accessible. Where's the unified marketplace? One platform, every asset class, every product, all under one roof, with a user experience that actually makes sense. The next breakthrough in RWAs isn't just tokenization. It's making the entire market accessible to everyone.

If you haven't read this article, then you might miss out. We've got 5 years of experience building in one of the toughest markets in web3. This is what happens when we take our innovative tech and deploy it somewhere it can actually hit a tipping point. Time to get PAID.🦄

One of the joys of being a web3 founder is how many hats I get to wear. Ironically this is one of the pain points as well. I asked AI how long it would take for it to replace me and it said at least 5-10 years...damn it.

I think there is room in web 3 for multiple L1s. The only thing I don't like is copycat projects. Stop copying one project from Chain A and bringing it to Chain B. This is not creating sustainable multi-chain value. They call this a "Vamp" in the world of $SOL memes.

No matter how many times I get punched in the nuts, I keep going...because I know what we are doing is extraordinarily special. Can you still not see it? It's okay...I've got balls of steel at this point. Keep swinging...

I don't think anybody on Cardano truly understands the potential of what we are building. We are building an absolutely insane portfolio for @CswapDigital. Huge markets. This is what blockchain technology was built for. Let this tiny market's ignorance....be your bliss.

During phase 2 deployment, Bitcoin holders will be able to partake in programatic DeFi opportunities to earn yield in $USDCx / $USDC or $BTC while maintain Bitcoin's incredible upside. With LTV ratios around 50%, safely earn on your bitcoin with zero wrapping or bridges. This is a game changer...multi-trillion dollar TAM.
Seeking Bitcoin enlightenment? Staking is just the beginning. BTC Karma Phase 2 will let Bitcoin holders put their BTC’s collateral value to work through yield strategies, including: lending, RWA vaults, and market-neutral opportunities. Keep your Bitcoin exposure. Earn additional income in $USDC or $BTC. Phase 1 is live. Phase 2 is what comes next. Namaste🙏

Already 1.6M in game currency traded in our WL event game! Absolutely insane stats, we're getting flooded with new users too! Apologies once again that the @MallardOrderRH account was suspended today due to some losers false reporting us for impersonating ourselves...but the MOTION WILL NOT STOP...

Cardano community and dReps: We are incentivizing Bitcoin holders to bring their Bitcoin to Cardano and we need your help! We are now at $175k USD in Bitcoin TVL on @btc_karma. If you hold $ADA and are also a bitcoin holder, you should really be staking your $BTC on our platform. Why? 1) You earn $KARMA rewards (trade on @CswapDEX ). 2) You create Bitcoin TVL for Cardano's @DefiLlama. 3) This can be positive news for the ecosystem. Don't overthink it. Let's just work together to grow Cardano's Bitcoin TVL. 🤝 @btc_karma

Cardano community: if you hold Bitcoin, you can help grow something here that’s already live. We built @btc_karma so you can stake native Bitcoin and earn $KARMA, without wrapping, bridging or handing your Bitcoin over to a third party. You control it with your own private key. We are currently at $170K in TVL with 38 users. Our next community goal is $1 million in Bitcoin TVL. Why does that matter for Cardano? Because community participation gives us something concrete to bring into our institutional discussions. That can help us secure the resources and partnerships needed for Phase 2 commercialization, while also creating a useful market signal for retail. $KARMA rewards are live today. We could also expand the reward basket to include other Cardano native tokens. More options require partners and committed resources, and growing participation can strengthen that case. If you hold a substantial BTC position, my DMs are open. You don’t need to announce your holdings publicly. Our team can walk you through the mechanics, rewards and how to stake and unstake so you can evaluate it for yourself. We’ve spent five years building here. I believe this is a concrete opportunity for Bitcoin holders to earn rewards while helping grow a new part of Cardano’s economy. We don’t have to wait for the founding entities to get behind every application before we use it. If you hold bitcoin, please take a look at btckarma.io. Don’t have any? Help this reach someone who does. Let’s give Bitcoin holders a reason to come to Cardano. We can start now. No need to wait. 🙏

Cardano liquid staking rewards for...Bitcoin ($BTC)? This is possible. Phase 1 @btc_karma supports any combination of Cardano native tokens that can be distributed within a "reward basket" for Bitcoin multi-utxo "accounts". For instance: Stake Bitcoin. Earn $SNEK, $HOSKY, $KARMA, and $ADA. $KARMA rewards are live. How would liquid staking rewards work? A large ADA holder could allocate ADA to match the value of Bitcoin TVL, stake that ADA, and distribute the staking rewards to BTC stakers instead of keeping those rewards for themselves. We need new blood in the Cardano ecosystem. That's what the remaining incentives are for imo....not to pay founding entity overhead while the community suffers. We asked a large ADA holder on Cardano whether they would be willing to do this. Let’s just say the response wasn’t enthusiastic. I don't think I've ever heard a group of northern Europeans laugh so hard. 🤷‍♂️ But the community doesn’t need the founding entities to simply use what’s already live. This is essentially a gift to Cardano from our team. We hope you use it, appreciate it. Is the community willing to try products that can attract new users and capital, or are we going to keep sitting on our hands and waiting for “mom and dad” to rescue us? Builders can’t carry adoption alone with limited resources and support. We need the community to participate too. We’ve built a straightforward way to stake Bitcoin and earn $KARMA while growing Cardano’s Bitcoin TVL. Got Bitcoin? Try btckarma.io. Don’t have any? Share it with someone who does. If we want adoption, we have to help create it. Expecting underresourced/undersupported builders to give your $ADA value while you sit on your hands is not realistic. I’m not going to beg, but I am going to ask: use what we built. Share it. Help us bring new people in. We’ve given Cardano another way to attract Bitcoin holders. Turning that opportunity into adoption takes all of us. 👍

If the core community is so checked out that they can't even get on board with what I thought was one of Cardano's most strategic growth vector's, then I don't know what else we can really do. I'm sure there are thousands of bitcoin held by this community.

Bought BTC and staked yesterday. There simply is no downside to staking idle capital to earn yield. It’s a no brainer if you hold ANY BTC. Stake it with @btc_karma and earn today.

If you aren't even willing to stake your Bitcoin to earn free tokens, while growing Cardano BTC TVL with literally no risk...then Bitcoiners will not come and you don't deserve to succeed. We can't have billions of dollars sitting on the sideline and the rest tied up with infrastructure and expect this all to be sustainable. The math doesn't math. Where does the revenue come from? Where do new ADA holders come from? You really think PR is going to get people to buy ADA? That shit does not work anymore...we need adoption. Bottom line is...we can't prop up Cardano's valuation without your involvement. If you won't even participate in your own ecosystem, then why should anybody else?
