1/ 💰 Free money is killing Web3. Founders are chasing grants instead of users. Protocols are inflating hype instead of driving real adoption. It’s a trap, and it’s breaking the innovation pipeline.
We break down what we’re seeing (and how to fix it) 🧵
1/ Let’s talk OpenFi. A new financial stack designed for automation, composability, and machine-level coordination. Think DeFi, rebuilt for agents.
In the final chapter of our Post Web founder series, @Jjay_dm & @greysen_c explore: ➡️ Why OpenFi is emerging now ➡️ Key trends shaping the stack ➡️ What founders are building across fat wallets, agentic finance & privacy ➡️ How to join the OpenFi movement
Here’s a sneak peek into some of the trends data 👇
It was a pleasure to welcome back @KeyvanMSadeghi from @functionland, an alumnus of the @Filecoin program, for an inspiring and practical workshop on crowdfunding and hardware launches.
Keyvan shared behind-the-scenes, from raising funds to distributing one of Functionland’s first hardware batches through @Indiegogo.
The session offered real, hard-earned lessons. He walked us through the ups and downs, and the tricks they used to nail a successful campaign.
It was a pleasure to welcome back @0xFabioM from @TokenOps_xyz, a founder from a past Outlier Ventures program, for an insightful workshop on Token Vesting, Distribution, and Operations.
The session was deeply analytical, diving into tokenomics research with key insights: mostly vested tokens (70% by Apr '23) showed 20% more volatility than locked tokens, and a typical 2-year supply release can lead to higher volatility and price pressure.
A must-watch for Web3 founders looking to build sustainable ecosystems. 🌟
