We helped bring the hardware. They brought the ideas.
Builders at @HackTheNorth went wild with creativity this year, and @spacemandev was there to make all of their hardware dreams come true.

I’ve joined @SolanaFndn as Chief Strategy Officer. What excites me is Solana’s position to bring Internet Capital Markets to life: connecting assets, trading and payments on one global network, open to anyone, around the clock.
You can already see it happening: $200M in tokenised equities traded in a single day, with roughly 63% outside US market hours.
My focus is helping drive the next phase of growth, bringing more institutions, enterprises, builders and users into that opportunity.
Thank you to @calilyliu and the team for the warm welcome. Excited to get going. 💜
