An AI agent can run a company's money only when a payment costs almost nothing and settles at once. @arc the stablecoin L1 from @circle, makes that possible with USDC gas at about a cent per transaction and finality in under a second. I am judging Tameion, the agents hackathon Canteen hosts with Circle and Arc. Teams are building agents for treasury, invoices, contractor payouts and compliance on the Circle stack, and a fifth of each score depends on how well they use it. There is no demo day, and results arrive on October 25. My thanks to @aljoha_ of the @eth_belgrade fam for the invitation.

this time is different, and worse. the 2017 GPU shortage hurt speculators. the coming compute shortage will hit every business that runs on LLMs, infra vets at TOKEN2049 were advising teams to lock in capacity for 3-5 yrs from now

We're at @token2049 this week, and for @getblockio Singapore is a home game. Our team will be on the ground thru October 8, meeting the exchanges, wallets, payment networks and trading desks that build on blockchain infrastructure. Beyond RPC across 130+ chains, we'll show new products made for the teams we expect to meet. Crypto AML checks a wallet on Bitcoin, Ethereum, TRON, Litecoin or Bitcoin Cash against OFAC, UN and EU sanctions lists and returns a risk score from 0 to 100, with a median response under 400 ms. For payment teams moving stablecoins on TRON, our TRON Energy Rental cuts transaction fees by up to 70%, and no tron:native has to be staked or frozen. Market SQL opens Solana, Polymarket, Hyperliquid and Robinhood Chain data to plain SQL, so analysts and quant teams can write their own queries for research and backtesting. To see any of them in action (plus over 20 new products live in 2026), message me on Telegram at @GetVasily and we'll book a meeting.

I'm at Korea Blockchain Week in Seoul through October 1. If you're building on blockchain or AI infrastructure, I'd be glad to grab a coffee.

In the AI era, distribution is the only moat a startup can defend. I made that case to founders at Startup Village Borneo in Kuching. I came home with a few lessons of my own. My full essay is in the reply.

Startup Village Borneo 2026 @SuperteamMY IS A WRAPPPP!!! Five days in Kuching. 75 builders. 32 projects submitted! A few weeks ago this was a slightly mad idea: take Malaysia's and international Solana builder community out of KL, put them on an island for a week, and run an immersive programme instead of another weekend hackathon. It only worked because a lot of people decided to back it before there was anything to show. So, some thank yous. Long ones. 🤝@socoe_s To the Socoe team, you carried more of this than most people will ever know. The press and media coverage that put Borneo in front of the whole country, the logistics behind every workshop, and the venue support at voco Kuching that gave us a home for the week. None of that shows up in a demo, but nothing happens without it. You treated this like it was your own programme, and Borneo is on the Web3 map because of you. This partnership is just getting started. 🎬 @littleunusualHQ And now for the people you never saw but definitely heard. To our anchor production partners, every slide that appeared when it was supposed to, livestream that didn't drop mid-pitch was you. We were told production teams are supposed to be invisible. You were so invisible we almost forgot to thank you, which is the highest compliment in your line of work. Consider this us remembering, loudly. 💚 @SolanaFndn To the Solana Foundation thank you for co-hosting this with us and for the mentorship support that gave every team access to people who've actually built and shipped. Having the Foundation on the ground in Sarawak, in the room and face to face with builders, sends a message no deck ever could: that builders here are part of a global ecosystem, not a corner of it. Thank you @decentra1ized_ 🙏 To all our partners Every partners that sent a mentor, ran a session, or simply said "yes, we're in" when we pitched them Borneo, you made this possible. Programmes like this don't run on ambition alone; they run on people willing to show up for a community that's still being built. You did. 🧠 To our mentors and judges You gave honest feedback when it would have been easier to be nice, and stayed in the corridors long after your slots ended. Teams changed direction because of one conversation with you. That's the whole point. 🛠️ To the builders You're the reason any of this exists. You showed up, shipped, pitched, got torn apart, rebuilt, and pitched again. Whatever you build next, keep going and tag us. Amplifying what you do after the event is the entire job. ⚙️ And to my team @SuperteamMY @tuakdotsol @semiii @nikkideyy Superteam MY is four people. Marianne, who co-led this with me and held the whole operation together. Semi, who built the website that ran the programme end to end. And Nikki, our content queen, who captured every moment and made sure the rest of Malaysia saw what was happening in Kuching. Four people, one very big week. Proud of yall. We chose Borneo on purpose. Malaysia's builder story can't only be a KL story. This week proved the talent, energy and community are already there,they just needed a room. A quote say:It literally needs a whole village to ship the next unicorn, and the place is Startup Village Borneo 2026!! Recap, photos and project highlights coming soon on our official account! Until then: terima kasih, Sarawak. We'll be back.
