Turnkey is designed to secure the open internet.

Our team has built a 'low-level set of tools that developers can use for anything that is a wallet or touches a cryptographic transaction.'

This Series A will help us push faster towards that vision.

I’m a Jewish college dropout.

I’m now Head of Growth at a startup and work with a bunch more.

If you want to leave school and work in startups/VC, my DMs are open.

.FUTURE is helping communities save projects from devs who rug, and I think that's an awesome web3 use case.

They're looking to grow their engineering team. If you have:

- Full stack experience building on Solana
- A keen understanding of how to bring products from zero to

I've been thinking about something lately I call the 'meta-team'.

Decentralized protocols in web3 are stuck in a paradox - there's theoretical value in decentralizing as the core team grows a community, but decentralization often leads to:

1) decreasing project velocity
2)

Ore is basically a fundamental challenge to this thesis. There is a much larger and more interesting design space for smart contracts than for consensus protocols

I know, it sounds so dumb. But believe it or not, you have to actually care--in your heart, deep in your bones, in a way that is so true to yourself that all your emergent behavior exudes it. No amount of money or marketing can replace that.

If you don't care, don't bother.

$FUTURE is one of my favorite recent examples of a token-first strategy

i don't have the answer on how to deploy this strategy systematically though: Future's an example of serendipitous community effort + resource congregation that you can't rely on all the time

Not a hype tweet, just a candid recent view:

We need token-first startup strategies.

1) Launch token as early as possible, with what ideally will be the lowest token valuation in its lifetime.

2) Build in public and grow with your community, allowing them to see their

This isn't surprising to see, but it's highly unfortunate: launching a token might be the best GTM available right now.

Luckily:

1) The opportunity to launch new tokens isn't going anywhere

2) All you need to do to differentiate yourself is to keep building authentically and

This is really important, and it extends to projects building on top of blockchains and anything anyone is building.

Many teams start out this way -- willing to face their problems and iterate on solutions -- but a common pitfall is misinterpreting some early success for 'the

This week on Future Podcast, we've got none other than mattytay! He tells us about his journey through crypto, his growth at Solana and the creation of Colosseum.

It is truly the culmination of years of effort. Matty is a legend, and we couldn't be happier for him!
