Building ideas that create impact. | @faractiononbase
I built SharedStocks, an app built on @solana for @PreStocks, pre-IPO stocks that can be swapped, owned, and gifted onchain
The idea started from something personal
The first crypto I ever received wasnβt something I bought. It was an airdrop someone sent directly to my wallet.
Darkbloom is back in action;
Yesterday, we went from free tier to paid tier on OpenRouter.
We have fulfilled on track close at 4.5B tokens served and $102K ARR.
We are open network of Mac machines (250 online right now). On average, people are earning $120-200 per month per machine.
If you have a Mac and it's idle most times: put it on Darkbloom(.)dev;
Tip: run the Gemma 4 26B model.

The first crypto I ever received wasnβt something I bought. It was an airdrop someone sent directly to my wallet.
Imagine introducing a friend to PreStocks without telling them to first figure out wallets, exchanges, or everything else themselves.
You could simply give them their first PreStock.
Their first experience with an onchain asset could come from you, just like mine did.
So the vision for SharedStocks is simple:
Discover β Own β Share
Make PreStocks easier to access, easier to understand, and easier to gift.π
All made possible via @PreStocks and @solana
Shipped 21 PRs yesterday that I feel pretty good about. It was a good day but still only a fraction of what AI agents could unlock
@base engineers are aggressively iterating on ways to 10x-100x their output in responsible ways
The next year is going to be insane
Iβm spending more time in hackathons lately.
Not just because of the prizes.
Hackathons force you to:
β Learn quickly
β Build under constraints
β Make decisions faster
β Ship something real
β Explain what you built
That environment teaches you a lot about yourself
One thing Iβve learned about being a founder:
You have to be comfortable being a beginner again.
New chain.
New tools.
New ecosystem.
New people.
It can feel uncomfortable, but that discomfort usually means youβre learning something.
So technically, I need around 2.3 SOL to deploy this program on Solana.
Thatβs basically $230+ just for deployment.
Coming from Base, this was a bit surprising because you can deploy a contract there for less than $5, or even just a few cents if the contract is lightweight.
Yeah. Letβs just say. It was NOT raining.
Todayβs workout was HOTTTTT π π₯
Leg day: Sumo squats, lunges, cardio, and more stuff that makes your legs feel like jello π

New day, new problems to solve.
Iβm currently deep in hackathon mode, building for @solana and exploring more opportunities across the onchain ecosystem
Iβm learning, shipping, testing ideas and putting myself in rooms where opportunities can happen
Back to work
