when i first explored defi, it felt like finding a whole new world -- one full of opportunities, but also packed with unknown risks. today, i believe we're at a turning point: institutions are coming and they're bringing trillions onchain. but for them to truly commit, reliable

i think most people don't realize the impact of what we're building. at its core, @0xcatalysis is an onchain infrastructure that enables the traditional insurance / reinsurance industry to seamlessly access digital assets. today, the digital assets comprises mostly of restaked

risk is the product.

We’re going live @ 11:30 AM ET - tune in to today’s space on the rebirth of restaking and how onchain coverage makes yield sustainable for institutions. See you there ↓

🇦🇷 Buenos Aires, we’re here. The Catalysis team is headed to @EFDevcon - a week of conversations on risk coverage infrastructure and the future of institutional DeFi. From panels to meetups (and a few late nights), we’ll be across the city all week. See you there 👋

crazy past week in new york. every week is like a mega-conference with non-stop high-quality events. my timeline: - sun: landed in jfk / nyc - mon: bunch of meetings around the city - tue: @chainlink smartcon conference day 1 - wed: @chainlink conference day 2 - thu: bunch of

a day well-spent in the crypto capital of the world! new york city has the brilliance of chaos and serenity all built inside.

i was at an event yesterday hosted at the harvard club of nyc. there was an interesting panel with some of the top CEOs in crypto; each running a multi-billion dollar valued company. the moderator asked a simple question: “well, tell us, how did you survive?” everyone was

Ben Horowitz literally explains how he differentiates between mediocre CEOs & great CEOs.

every billion-dollar company is basically built on two key pillars: 1. over-execution and 2. luck everything in between doesn't matter much.

protocols are ultimately businesses. people in crypto don't seem to think about this fact so often. protocols have customer acquisition costs, operational hurdles and product outreach. tokens enable coordination for that.

i genuinely admire VCs who give really concrete and actionable feedback. they're the ones that create long-lasting value for founders and companies. on the other hand, there's a whole swarm of VCs who give zero thought to your company and drop the most garbage feedback

DeFi vaults are going to be the modern "bank accounts". However US banks have FDIC insurance while DeFi vaults have no protection. @0xcatalysis risk coverage becomes the universal protection layer.

Insurance defines how risk is priced, shared, and mitigated across DeFi and yet remains one of its most underdeveloped layers. At @StakingSummit in Buenos Aires, join leading voices for our opening panel titled “Insuring the Uninsurable: Can DeFi Really Cover Itself?”: 1.

institutions are really here.

attended @chainlink 's smartcon conference today in NYC. key highlights: - institutions are really here; main hall was full of people in suits - assessing crypto risks is now a competitive space; @SPGlobal & @moodysratings have started labelling stablecoin depeg risks to start
