We made a bit of history at @BTCPrague.
The first bitcoin payments using zero-knowledge proofs were sent over Lightning.

Excited to double up on @lxdev_ following the @BTCFiNetwork
Privacy is critical for Bitcoin’s long term success. Without it, money becomes surveillance infrastructure hurting fungibility, personal security, and censorship resistance.
.@lxdev_ has raised a pre-seed round from @DraperVC, @DraperDragon, and Peer VC to work on bitcoin privacy

We’re excited to back one of the first protocols delivering true interoperability between Bitcoin and Cardano - thanks to the @BTCFiNetwork along side @thesis_co @DraperVC @SupernormalFDN
Congrats @CharmsDev on the live beaming of eBTC, BRO, ADA, SNEK & more. All trustless, zk-powered, and chain-agnostic.
The UTXO ecosystems just got a lot more connected.
Bitcoin and Cardano are now united by Charms. 🟠🤝🔵
We sent eBTC and BRO to Cardano.
We sent ADA, SNEK, and USDM to Bitcoin.
We unlocked cross-compatible Rust+WASM dapps for both chains.
The Universal App Protocol for UTXO, powered by zkVM.💎

We’ve raised $1M to build Helios Finance, the Bitcoin-Native Bank.
Led by @drapervc (@TimDraper), @DraperDragon, 3Commas Capital, the BitcoinFi Accelerator and select angel participants.
Helios turns dormant BTC into programmable capital. Borrow natively on Bitcoin L1, earn & auto-loop in institutional-grade vaults, and spend anywhere with the Helios Reserve Card, turning your BTC into a credit line accepted at 150M+ merchants worldwide.

We are happy to welcome @gate_ventures as our new backer and strategic investor
Thanks for supporting our mission to turn Bitcoin into a working capital
Gate Ventures announces a strategic investment in @SatsTerminal, a Bitcoin-native liquidity platform focused on expanding self-custodial access to Bitcoin-backed trading, borrowing, and yield across Web3.
This investment reflects our view that Bitcoin finance remains an underdeveloped area of crypto infrastructure. By addressing liquidity fragmentation and simplifying access to core financial functions, Sats Terminal is working toward improving how Bitcoin can be utilized within decentralized financial systems.
Sats Terminal is building both a self-custodial application for end users and a single SDK that enables wallets and dApps to integrate Bitcoin-backed financial services more efficiently.
We believe long-term value in Bitcoin finance will accrue to infrastructure that supports secure, scalable, and globally accessible use cases for both institutions and individual users. medium.com/@gate_ventures/ga…

The number and quality of applications coming into the @BTCFiNetwork Accelerator is telling.
There’s always been an inverse correlation between price and founder quality, the best builders show up when it’s quiet.
No better time to be building on Bitcoin 🟠🟠🟠
