There’s and easy way and hard way to introduce a new technology . Easy way: assume everyone knows what’s great about what you’re building (ex. bring the world onchain, tokenize everything). Hard way: show the benefits without needing to explain how it works . A Thread 🧵.

to dispel the rumors, yes I did purposefully choose today to launch $XION today because I knew $BTC would break 100k.

$XION will go down in history as the first token to launch after $BTC hits 100k.

XION's launch yesterday once again proved we're bringing the scale of Web2 over to Web3. We hit 2,500 requests per second (that translates to 9,000,000 per hour). Having experienced this time and again on testnet, we had already 10x'd the RPC, indexer, server, and load balancing

Saw #XIONScamwithReal_Supporters is trending. A scam with real supporters? Hell yea. Here's some alpha on the 69% community breakdown for the first spark, and how you can better position yourself for the next one

Kaito leaderboard announced just before $XION launch. Do with that as you will. There are no coincidences.

The launch of @EarnOS_io is a prime example of XION existing to bring the novel concepts of Web3 to the mainstream. I wrote down a few thoughts about what I think it means for XION and our industry.

what you’re about to see over the next few weeks is an experiment in attention and information dissemination. we either get drowned out or completely change XION forever. if it doesn’t work, that’s okay we tried something new . but it will.

November 2022, FTX fiasco was happening, and I presented this deck during a company all-hands. This week, I presented it again. (By no means is the quote below mine, but it is really applicable to XION)
XION has raised an additional $25M to continue making crypto accessible to everyone, everywhere.

Crypto is fucked. Googling “Crypto App” all I see is wallets and exchanges. There is such a massive disconnect still from what we as crypto insiders build vs public perception. XRP rips because cryptos use case is speculation . This won’t be solved until i see @blackbird_xyz

Double Or Nothing: A little surprise we threw at the end for people who wanted to take their chances at increasing the allocation. Here’s a little insight on how it worked.

This is Murad . In 2020, he went bankrupt during the COVID crash. Now, he’s a memecoin whale, making MILLIONS every day. Here’s how he did it — and what he thinks is coming next 👇📷🧵

We were recently showing our PR team a demo of {Redacted} Chain Abstraction experience. To my surprise they were initially stumped. To them it was just a “Normal” experience. Then started the dialogue: . You didn’t download a wallet did you? No. You didn’t save a free phrase?.

XION's mission has always been clear: to make Web3 accessible to everyone, everywhere. Today, the First Spark marks another step in the network's continued decentralization.

We give the most attention to the bad actors . Let’s give it to those building to propel crypto. I’ll start with just a few:. @RiscZero .@union_build .@SuccinctLabs .@SunscreenTech .@Rarimo_protocol . How are we supposed to know what good looks like if we only harp on the bad?.

As much as we joke, none of this would have been possible without @mirza_inj he’s taught me everything i know. I couldn’t ask for a better friend and mentor ❤️.
1/ XION has become an absolute machine in both building for mainstream adoption and capturing attention unlike anything else we have witnessed in crypto. Ahead of the $XION launch, here is a thread analyzing XION & why it will be one of the biggest L1 launches ever.

i believe ultimately the goal of xion is to prove that crypto isn’t bullshit. we have yet to see complete products . we rely on insular speculation . and i don’t want to build a casino.

I bought my first ever memecoin today. $GINGER absolutely hates @TheMirza_ . He scratches mirza whenever he comes in sight. It's the kind of aggressive energy that $KIRA cannot even try to compete with. #GINGERWOKEKIRABROKE.

I sit here re reading the Zero to One, asking our writers why we ripped off Peter Thiel. But secondly, and more seriously, in astonishment about how far the team, XION, and the vision have come.
From burning a $95,000 Banksy, to raising $36M, onboarding 3M users, and integrating with over 170 leading projects – XION's growth has been nothing short of meteoric. And, this is only the beginning. Here's the story ↓

What does the Battle of Rivoli possibly have to do with XION’s inevitable success? . Let me show you. It's January 14-15, 1797. Before coming to power, Napoleon Bonaparte leads an Italian campaign as a general for the French army. The win at Rivoli leads to the fall of Fort

“grants work if you have nothing else to offer”. - a very wise and attractive man
Web3 grant programs are broken - we hate them. Today, we introduce the Anti-Grant Grant Program alongside @ThriveProtocol. $12.6M in $XION designed to weed out mercenaries and support true builders.

New Business Idea: we take FTX. We market make on our own exchange and keep it super centralized . but this time we say it’s decentralized because it has a node and we ignore the equity (that never really mattered anyway). that would be so $HYPE.

I genuinely love seeing people hate on the chain abstraction thesis. Let's not onboard users and keep crypto complicated + difficult. Enjoy that copium while amazing teams prove you wrong.
