I spent the better part of my 20s in sf. Moved away for lots of reasons, but every time I fly back it feels a little like coming home. Now Colosseum’s accelerator is coming home, to what I believe is still the most talent dense city in the world. Extremely excited for this next

Coinbase just launched an Instagram clone where you lose money as you scroll the feed, and you're afraid of launching your silly crypto experiment??

We say this every time, but as these contests grow it gets harder and harder to pick just ~40 winners. This is so bullish for the Solana ecosystem, but max pain for judges (sorry guys). The talent coming into the hackathon this time around was immense. HUGE congratulations to

It’s hard to overstate how excited I am to be building Colosseum alongside @mattytay and @crabbylions. Put simply - our job is to accelerate crypto’s impact on the world starting from the very earliest stages. More builders -> more products -> more use cases. 🧵

The dust has settled on this round in the arena. MASSIVE congratulations to all the gladiators who took home a prize- you earned it 🫡 And as always, win or lose, know that this is just the beginning. Many many teams who did not win here will go on to be successful. We know this

If you're an app builder in crypto, Solana should be at the top of your list. Becoming increasingly hard to make the case for starting on any other chain

.@solana’s revenue lead keeps growing: Apps like Pump.fun & Axiom now out-earn entire ecos (Ethereum, BSC, Hyperliquid) Jupiter & Phantom post more revenue than Base, Arbitrum, & Avalanche DApps And ecosystem DApps earn 2.5x more than the Solana network itself
