BUILDERS, IT’S SHOWTIME! The global @Colosseum Hackathon is live, featuring a $5,000 Local Demo Day alongside an 8-day Build Station in Warsaw. Here is your launchpad 🧵👇

The room where the next generation of Web3 protocols gets built. 🇵🇱🔥

Huge congrats to our members @kar888l & @antoni_kiszka for hitting 100k users on @derpetual in just 9 days! Derpetual coded.

FOUNDERS FRIDAYS EP. 13: @AdrianBrz_ from @ridemarkets 1️⃣ What makes you most bullish about @Solana today? The cost structure, and what it does to behaviour. Look at tokenized equities: Solana holds under a quarter of the ~$3B of tokenized stock supply on-chain - BNB Chain and Ethereum both hold more. But almost all the actual trading happens on Solana. Issuance follows regulation and distribution deals; trading follows execution cost. When a transaction costs a fraction of a cent, people trade twenty times a day with $5 at stake, and that behaviour simply doesn't exist elsewhere. Every chain wants to be where assets get minted. I'd rather build where they get used. 2️⃣ Where are the biggest hidden opportunities for new builders? Anything to do with how capital actually gets allocated. I've spent the last five years on both sides of it building DAO governance infrastructure and working on DeFi exchanges and the same pattern shows up everywhere: we have endless ways to trade and almost nothing that decides who gets to deploy capital and on what terms. Most DAO treasuries just sit there while a few people on a multisig argue about a proposal. The same gap is now opening in tokenized equities the assets are arriving fast, but the things you'd want around them (credit, structured products, portfolio tooling, anything that treats a tokenized stock as collateral rather than something to flip) barely exist yet. Governance tooling and treasury ops are the same story: unglamorous next to a new DEX, and far less crowded. 3️⃣ What’s your number one piece of advice for someone starting from zero? Ship something small in public before you feel ready, then keep cutting until one thing works properly. Do it where people can see it post the ugly early version, contribute to open source, fix someone else's issue. Distribution compounds slower than code but it lasts longer, and most of the opportunities I've had came from work that was public before it was good. And the thing nobody has really priced in yet: since January I write almost no code by hand I write the spec and review what the model produces. If you're starting today, the skill worth building is judgment, knowing what to ask for and what to reject, not typing speed. That's a real advantage for beginners, because the thing you'd have spent three years grinding is no longer the bottleneck.

Najdroższa lekcja ze sceny? Możesz mieć dobry produkt… i nadal źle go wytłumaczyć. 😅 Dzisiaj pitchowałem RWA Shield na VII Kongresie Lendtech w Varso. 🚀🛡️ Przede mną pitchował @majordev ze swoim @Tempo_Trade, a zaraz po mnie @norbertbodziony. I właśnie po takich wystąpieniach człowiek widzi rzeczy, których NIE zobaczy podczas kolejnych godzin siedzenia nad deckiem. Moje dzisiejsze lekcje: 👉 prezentacja zawsze w PL + EN 👉 problem musi być zrozumiały w kilka sekund 👉 Proof of Concept trzeba POKAZAĆ 👉 monetyzacja musi być jasna 👉 pitch robisz dla PUBLICZNOŚCI, nie dla siebie U mnie deck nie pokazywał wystarczająco jasno problemu, PoC i sposobu monetyzacji. I bardzo dobrze, że dowiedziałem się tego NA SCENIE, a nie po kolejnych 3 miesiącach budowania. 🔥 Jeszcze większą wartość dały rozmowy po pitchu z ludźmi, którzy już budowali startupy, raisowali kapitał i przechodzili tę drogę wcześniej. BUILD → PITCH → GET GRILLED → IMPROVE → REPEAT. Ogromne dzięki @SuperteamPOL za to, że dzięki tej społeczności znajdujemy się w takich miejscach, poznajemy takich ludzi i możemy pokazywać to, co budujemy. 🇵🇱🤝 RWA Shield wraca do warsztatu. Następna wersja pitchu będzie już dużo mocniejsza. 🛡️🚀 Experience > ego. #RWA #AI #Startups #Web3 #Fintech #BuildInPublic
