Nearly four years ago, InvArch was born from a singular vision: to create a world where anyone, anywhere, could contribute their ideas and talents to bring bold innovations to life - trustlessly, transparently, and collaboratively. This dream wasn’t conceived in comfort or

Bullish on $SEEK by @wearetalisman 🪬 I’m usually skeptical about crypto wallets launching a token, but unlike others, I see the Talisman team cooking up some pretty rewarding incentives for holders. Excited to see what they do with AI agents & abstraction! 👀

A boy who never felt good enough becomes the man who punishes himself with 14 hour days, endless goals, and a body that can't rest. He pushes himself to be the best because he feels the worst. Each accomplishment is just an empty award as he looks to the next thing. Never

The next era of Talisman is upon us, Seekers! We're thrilled to announce $SEEK TGE. When users become owners, everything changes. And $SEEK is the alignment layer for what’s coming next.

I sure hope the blockchain industry can rediscover itself one day. I miss the spirit of the old narratives. It was a time dominated by the bold & innovative, not the recycled & reiterated.

I was heartbroken & distraught after what happened to Charlie Kirk, but after seeing so many disgusting souls cheer his death, I am angry. Charlie was a champion of open debate, and whether you liked him or not, he was a champion of the gospel & Jesus Christ. It’s absolutely

one of the sadder things about Charlie Kirk death is that whether you agreed with him or not, he championed open debate open debate between ideas is the main currency of a democracy if you're now being shot for that, this incentivizes less of that and more of shooting

The devil doesn’t rob you, he tempts you. He buys your dreams for glitter and dust. He has no use for your soul, but by taking his offer, you give yours away. And you have no one to blame but yourself.

As a man you are cursed to become the exact size of what you hunt. Hunt pennies and your soul shrinks to copper. Hunt kingdoms and your hands grow large enough to hold crowns. This is the law: God carved your capacity from the same stone as your ambition, and He will not let you

One of the most important & undervalued skills every startup needs to succeed is storytelling. You need to attract users, investors, and clearly define your brand’s identity. The best startups use storytelling to achieve all three! Failing to tell a compelling story is usually a

Got this beauty delivered just in time for the start of Seeker Season & claimed dakota.skr! 📲 Ngl, @solanamobile 100% absolutely crushed it! Feels premium like an iPhone. Seed Vault 100% abstracts Web3 from UX. dApp Store makes accessing the @solana ecosystem easier than ever.

16/ I’m not sure if my account still has reach or the right people will see this, but hopefully it reaches someone who needs it. Your story ends when you stop writing it. So, pick yourself up, remember who you are, and feed the fire inside of you at all costs. You got this. 💪

15/ Finally, just to be clear, this isn’t a pity party. You need to be stronger than that. People show their true colors when you’re down, and nobody is coming to save you. It’s on you to learn from your mistakes & choose to stand back up, but you 100% have it in you.

14/ Don’t anticipate a warm reception (for example, I’m expecting at least a few pieces of hate mail in the comments). Just keep showing up. Be consistent & focus on your future self. Block out the noise. Stay dedicated to having a positive impact & add value wherever you can.

13/ It might not be easy to jump back into the industry, but great things never are easy (as all founders should know). If feeling discouraged, you don’t need to launch a new startup. There are great teams that you can join & add value to (and learn from)! Just don’t fade away.

12/ I believe it’s important that founders stand back up if at first they don’t succeed. Whether to try again with more wisdom than before, or share that wisdom so others can avoid similar mistakes, founders who once failed have a ton of value to contribute. Don’t waste wisdom!

11/ There were a lot of things that I did right. A lot of things where I showed immense promise & potential. There were also a lot of mistakes that I made. A lot of times where I could have executed better. Learn from these things. I reflect on, learn, and grow from them all.

10/ I imagine my experience is similar to many other founders who failed at one point. I understand how brutal it can be, but you can’t let it kill your spirit. You can take it as a failure, or learn from it as a lesson. Truth is, you’re wiser than ever now. 🧠

10/ If you could look into my soul, you would not find malicious intent. You would see someone who just wants to achieve greatness by having a significant & positive impact on the world. To feel loved & accepted. Instead, the aftermath of failing left me feeling broken & alone.

8/ I want to be transparent here, though. I’m not saying I was perfect. That’s not what I’m saying at all. I was not perfect, I did not handle everything the best I could have, and there’s plenty of times where I could have made better decisions. However, I was always genuine.
