After 2.5 years at @LayerZero_Core, I’m stepping away to build.
Grateful doesn’t begin to cover it. What a ride.
I joined as employee #50. When I left:
→ Grew to 150+ person team
→ Shipped V2 of the protocol (modular security, horizontal composability, etc)
→ Token launch at $3B valuation (a16z & Sequoia co-lead; first time ever)
→ Onboarded 700+ incredible partners (stablecoins, RWAs, chains etc)
→ Built Zero blockchain (100x improvements to network, storage & compute)
I fully believe LayerZero will be one of the most consequential blockchain companies in the world. @PrimordialAA, @ryanzarick, @caleb_banister, @Bakxys, & @MaybeMaxPower - thank you for setting the standard. To the team (and now friends) - wouldn't trade it for the world. To our partners and community - the relationships we have built are for a lifetime.
Now, a story most people haven't heard.
48hrs before LayerZero's TGE, the office was buzzing. It's 2am and the last thing I wanted to do was commute home just to come back 6hrs later. So naturally, I asked the new product guy (we’d known each other for a month), @0xmitvh, if I could crash on his couch 😂
2:30am, we're talking.
"The office energy is electric"
"The team is dialled"
Talking about how one day we wanted to build something the same way.
We agreed that night, whenever the time came we had an idea we were convicted on, we would drop everything and go all in.
Two years later, that moment arrived. And you best believe it was none else than for prediction markets.
But the experience right now isn't great.
Open any prediction market app today. You are hit with categories, subcategories, charts, order books. 40 cents, 60 cents. Pages of the "what" but never the "why." Give this to the regular joe and he's lost.
What if markets came to you based on your interests, before you even knew you cared? What if instead of charts and order books it was content; entertaining, informative and backed by real money?
That is what we are building.
Meet @pulsepredicts.
The Prediction Media Application.
Where Markets Are Media.
The world is going to consume information differently in the future. We intend to be the reason why.
;P

Someone has to run this up like whop has
We're hiring a social lead @fomo (NYC, in-person).
Our vision is to bridge the gap for fomo to a broader audience as we build the global financial social graph.
In just 1-2 years, we've onboarded 2.5M+ users who have collectively done over $13.5B+ dollars in volume and hit #3 for finance on the app store.
As social lead, you'll own content across all socials (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, Reddit, articles, blogs, newsletters, etc), influencer marketing, large partnerships & more.
I'm looking for someone who wants to scale accounts across all platforms to 500k+ followers in <1 year and is searching for a generational opportunity.
A trading app for the rest of us. Apply below.

It will be obvious in hindsight
Pumped to see this all come together
The world’s markets are undergoing a once in a generation transition.
We’ve spent the last year building ATLAS (Aggregated Trading Liquidity and Settlement), a first-of-its kind, headless exchange designed for the future of global markets. It combines the performance and fairness of a traditional exchange with the verifiability and self-custody of a decentralized exchange. The best of a CEX meets the best of a DEX.
ATLAS has been built alongside the world’s leading financial institutions and is designed to deliver fair, performant markets around the globe. It delivers deep, global liquidity for both open and institutional trading venues.

It has gotten out of control.
when structuring ugc campaigns:
- source creators (manually or 3rd party)
- provide a list of guardrails/expectations
- test hooks till the 1-2 outliers shine
- double tf down (spam till no juice left)
kimchi flooding across the tl is simply the result of a successful ugc campaign
kimchi made 40ms, fomo just raised their val by fuck ton more
gg for finding their hook

Making a prediction is inherently social, so much of the value of a prediction is the social sentiment or conviction it reveals
There will be many more many predictions made within groups than in isolation, @pulsepredicts will be the destination for those groups
Excited to back @domidom88 @0xmitvh , always bet on your friends 🤝

Huge congrats to my brothers @domdotx @0xmitvh on launching @pulsepredicts!
Markets are more fun when they're multiplayer. Try out Pulse with your friends.
Looking forward to seeing these guys continue to crush it.

today there's @Polymarket and @Kalshi but what if you didn't have to choose?
what if you didn't have to manually discover markets because they're all personalized to you?
what if you didn't have to text your friend your prediction, because it's already in their feed?
