Few days ago, I got a chance to speak about something I enjoy learning! Co-organized the Road to #Devcon Workshop at Don Bosco Institute of Technology (D.B.I.T). I was there with @WarangShankar, @Shreyas__Thakur and @SawantSoham7126, talking to students about Blockchain and Web3. I got to present on Wallets, Smart Wallets and EIPs, where my presentation wasn't perfect and there were moments where I could've explained something better or just been a little more confident. The session also covered the foundations of Ethereum, blockchain technology, smart contracts and more about Web3 ecosystem. It was super great seeing students engage, ask questions and get curious about how all of this actually works. Super thanks to ACM-DBIT for the collaboration, and to @TeamGRYD, @weareWeb3Mumbai and GrowSphere for making this possible. And a super special shoutout to @sabnisa7, Verushka Fernandes, Dev Kanojiya and Ashish Parab for all the support and contribution behind the scenes. Really grateful for the opportunity 🙌 @EFDevcon 🔥

Gm gm! Guess what just arrived 👀🖤

Logos Circle Mumbai 2.0 🌱 This Sunday 27th we're cleaning up Kharghar Hills trail, walking up and picking trash along the way, taking a break at the top, then bringing it all back down with us 7:30 AM. See you there! cc @weareWeb3Mumbai

As we wrap up the 50x hackathon wins, here we go: I won $2,500. A kid from India. A laptop. Late nights. No fancy office. No safety net. Just a belief that financial privacy should not be a luxury. That belief paid off. PrivatePay won $2,500 at the Build on Aptos Hackathon. The first on-chain untraceable, unidentifiable private payments on @Aptos. Not a mockup. Not a pitch deck. A real product. Stealth addresses. ECDH. DarkPool mixing. Payment links as simple as Stripe. Because Alice won a hackathon. Bob traced every winner’s wallet in minutes. And I refused to accept that this is “just how crypto works.” People asked me if I was crazy for building privacy when everyone else was shipping another DEX. I kept building anyway. Sleepless nights. Broken demos. Cryptography that fought back. Specs rewritten until they were airtight. Then Cursor with Kiro entered the chat. Specs. Steering. Hooks. MCP. Vibe coding for speed. Spec-driven for the parts that cannot be wrong. 48 hours. 50+ components. 100% test coverage. 0 security holes in production. This is not just prize money. This is proof that a builder with a story, a real problem, and the courage to ship can still win. To every student grinding in a hostel. Every founder building in silence. Every developer who thinks they are “too late.” You are not too late. Your story is the product. Your pain is the pitch. Your demo is the proof. If this made you feel something — drop a ❤️, share it with a builder who needs this today, and tell me in the comments: What is the dream you are still too scared to ship? I am reading every single one. How you actually win a hackathon like this (steal this): 1. Solve a real wound, not a cute idea. Judges remember stories they can feel. PrivatePay started with a wallet getting doxxed. 2. Ship a working demo, not a slide. Live URL. Real txns. Let them click. 3. Use the sponsor’s tools like a weapon, specs + steering + hooks + MCP in a public /.kiro folder. Judges score how you built, not just what you built. 4. Polish the first 30 seconds. If they don’t gasp, they don’t score you. 5. Make it look inevitable. Clean UI. One sentence value. “Stripe links, but every payment is a new invisible wallet.” 6. Submit early. Sleep. Then submit better. The last 20% of polish is what separates $0 from $2,500. Live: private-pay-nk7r.vercel.app/ Thank you, @Aptos @NareshKx @riseinweb3. Thank you to every person who told me to keep going. This one is for the dreamers who still build at 3 am. #PrivatePay #Aptos #Web3 #Hackathon #BuildInPublic #Privacy #FromZeroToOne

The cloud bill is the easy number to track. But the migration time, duplicated tooling, integration work, and the on-call surface you inherit rarely make it to the spreadsheet. We're building around that hidden tax.

Every new data interface brings its own connector, dashboard, runbook, and failure mode Adding one more tool is easy ... Running all of them together for years is where production systems actually bleed time!

‘Build, Curate, Educate’ meets ‘Launch’

Fast is a moving target … It shows up - as latency under real load - as predictable queries - as how many layers sit between your app and its data We're rebuilding that path altogether ⚓️

Got these from @Tangem and I’m genuinely curious to try them out Self-custody is slowly becoming something you don’t have to think twice about carrying around Thank you @Tangem for sending these over

Growth should increase the dynamic usage, not the number of systems your product has to hold together! What if scaling the product did not mean fragmenting the stack?

Last week Road to Devcon 🇮🇳 hit DBIT. ft. @weareWeb3Mumbai × GrowSphere × ACM-DBIT → Packed room at Don Bosco Institute of Technology → 5 mini-workshops & 2 hands-on sessions ft. CROPS → 2 Devcon ticket winners! (@Aryanaryan_07 & @RitikaNitinGore) In this 2nd stop of Workshop Edition, students spent the day on web3 fundamentals, smart contracts, CROPS primitives and onchain quests; followed by an onchain fight on the road2devcon.quest quiz leaderboard for @EFDevcon tickets! DBIT Buildoors showed up. Next stop incoming. #RoadToDevcon

Got the direction right, but still lost money? Your expiry might be the reason. Before choosing an options expiry, ask yourself: “How long do I think this move will take?” A move expected today needs less time. A move that may take a few weeks needs more. The closer an option gets to expiry, the faster its time value can fall. That’s called theta decay. So don’t just pick the shortest expiry. Pick an expiry that matches how fast you expect your trade to work. You can choose your expiry on CoinDCX based on your market view and expected timing. #LearnKaroCryptoKaro

Diversification isn’t about owning more. It’s about balance Crypto for growth. Gold for stability. With $XAUT on @CoinDCX, start a SIP from just ₹100, whether daily, weekly, or monthly. Small, consistent steps > timing the perfect entry. #LearnKaroCryptoKaro $XAUT
