Building a Web3 company gets harder as more pieces start moving at once.
Product. Fundraising. Positioning. GTM. Token design. Partnerships.
The ChainGPT Labs Residency gives founders three months of focused support to bring those pieces together, with access to experienced operators, capital pathways, and our 300+ partner network.
Applications are open.

Tokenized stocks are growing quickly, but most of that value still has limited utility once it reaches DeFi.
Liquidity is thin, lending markets are early, redemption can be slow, and pricing is still fragmented across venues.
That leaves a clear opportunity for builders.
The next phase of tokenized equities will depend on better infrastructure around liquidity, collateral, lending, and market access so more of that capital can actually stay productive onchain.
Tokenized stocks are arriving onchain faster than DeFi can put them to work.
The value of distributed tokenized stocks is approaching $3B after growing nearly tenfold since the start of 2025. Securitize's SECZ is the largest individual tokenized stock by value. Strategy and Circle account for three of the next four largest products.
Use of tokenized stocks in DeFi remains limited. Deposits grew from almost nothing in mid-2025 to roughly $202M by early September, but they represent less than 7% of total tokenized-stock value. Most of that capital is concentrated in trading pools and early lending markets.
Trading and lending give investors ways to use tokenized stocks without moving their capital back through traditional markets. Keeping that capital onchain can support deeper markets and tighter pricing.
The next phase will depend less on how many stocks are tokenized and more on what investors can do with them once they arrive.

There has never been a better time to build.
→ Tools are cheaper.
→ Distribution is faster.
→ Small teams can move like large ones.
→ Ideas can go from concept to product in days.
The edge is no longer access.
It is conviction, speed, and the willingness to keep building when nobody is watching.

From idea to market.
Capital when it matters.
Operators when it gets hard.
Partners when you need a helping hand.

If you are building for everyone, you are probably building for no one.
Early-stage founders often define their ICP as:
“Web3 users.”
“Crypto companies.”
“Anyone who uses AI.”
That is a market, not an ICP.
Get more specific:
→ Company type
→ Team size
→ Role of the buyer
→ Problem they need solved
→ Urgency of that problem
→ Where they already spend time
→ What makes them switch
The tighter the ICP, the easier it becomes to build the right product and find the right users.

Friendly advice:
Do not let a good opportunity pull you away from the right one.
Every new feature, partnership, market, or idea has a cost.
Focus is deciding what deserves your attention now.

Gacha-style collectibles are becoming a serious revenue category in crypto.
@Collector_Crypt and @Courtyard_io have generated $266M in cumulative net revenue.
Collector Crypt brought in just under $16M in June, up 75% month over month.
Courtyard cleared $20M+ in June and again in July.

Web3 Funding Update ⤵️
$1.65B was raised across 18 rounds this week.
The biggest deals:
→ @Polymarket: $1B
→ @ajaib_investasi: $270M
→ @Felixpago: $113M in debt + $87M extension
→ @USDai_Official: $100M
→ @openreservebank: $25M
→ @Mobulaio: $17M
The headline is obviously @Polymarket, but the broader mix is interesting.
Capital is still flowing into consumer finance, payments, stablecoin infrastructure, and crypto-native market products.
For founders, the takeaway is simple:
Large rounds are still getting done, but the strongest stories are tied to clear usage, distribution, and real financial activity.

Friendly founder advice:
If your team cannot explain the company simply, the market probably cannot either.
Clarity helps everything:
fundraising, hiring, partnerships, distribution, and product decisions.
Make the company easier to understand before trying to make it bigger.

Agents are already burning nearly 5x more AI tokens than humans.
Now follow that trend forward.
Millions of autonomous agents will need to pay for compute, APIs, data, models, and other services without stopping for a human to enter a card or approve an invoice.
That’s where crypto becomes increasingly important.
x402 is already building an internet-native payment layer designed for this kind of machine-to-machine commerce.
For Web3 founders, agentic payments is one of the clearest new markets to build around.
