💯 I think formal verification is going to be table stakes and inevitable in the next 12 months
winning founders are slightly delusional in a specific direction. they think what they're building is already inevitable while everyone else thinks it's optional. being right about that gap is most of the job.

The US Dollar has lost -23% of its purchasing power since 2020. In other words, if your assets are up +30% since 2020, you have effectively just broken even in real terms. Inflation has now been above the Fed's 2% target for 60-straight months, and the bond market knows this. Own assets or be left behind.
It's official. As the bond market "meltdown" accelerates, the average interest rate on a 30Y mortgage in the US is up to 7.45%. That's up +150 basis points in 6 months and the highest since 2023, when inflation was at 6.4%+. What is happening? Let us explain. (a thread)

A little advice from Superteam Black to the next @Colosseum warriors. Be f’n fearless. It’s only delusional until it works. Do the work everyone else avoids. And never let "it can't be done" be the reason you don't try. Good luck to everyone stepping into the arena colosseum.com/worldsfair Superteam Black will be waiting for you at the finish line.
Over 6,000 builders and founders are now competing in Crypto World's Fair. We will be awarding the top startup submissions across Solana, Tempo, Hyperliquid, Ethereum L1, Base, Robinhood Chain, Zcash, and Arbitrum. Learn more about the hackathon: colosseum.com/worldsfair

Superteam Black teams have now redeemed over $1M in perks! Not unused credits sitting in a dashboard, but actual runway: cloud, RPCs, security, legal, design, and the op stack founders usually bleed cash on. Every dollar covered in perks is a dollar that can go into shipping and acquiring customers. Deep thanks to the perk providers who backed that bet with both credits and mentorship. This number matters because early teams do not die from a lack of ideas, rather runway gets eaten by ops before the product has a chance.

I've intellectually known that software engineering was going to go away but it's just started to feel real. The little dopamine rushes — learning a language, reconfiguring keybindings, upgrading packages or pushing around code on a page to make it easier to read — fade in the rear view mirror, vestiges of a profession no longer needed. The job is more director than architect or builder, and quickly rising to higher levels of abstraction. Agents may do the work of spewing code into files and servers, but building ambitious real world software is hard in a new way. We are responsible for houses we did not create and whose floors we've never truly walked. The longer you've been an engineer in the previous world, the harder the transition is now. But it's time to rewire your brain to appreciate the new ways of how things are going to be built. The ceiling on what we can do is so much higher now.

Its easy to look at the current success of a founder on Solana and say "they got lucky and get all this attention" without realizing many of these teams built multiple failed companies on Solana before reaching success. Think Kamino got lucky? Ask about their less successful Hubble. Think Jupiter got king made? Well prior to that it was Mercurial. Before Tensor's major NFT success, they had at least 3 failed ideas before winning a Colosseum hackathon. many MANY, such cases. Yes some founders get lucky on the first shot, but its rare. And even once these big teams got recognition they still grinded for years to grow that to insane levels of success. Nothing will be gifted. Go build it and win. If it fails, try again.
