If you've been wondering what the hell I left QuickNode for... This is what I've been up to the last couple months. Introducing @access_grid - we're live for Apple Wallet as of today!

Roughly 1 day left to vote on 228, and 45% of the network hasn’t voted yet. Pls vote!
How do I vote if I'm a validator?

I feel like people slept on our @chai_research ep
they straight up beat @character_ai at their own game*. like deepseek, former hedge fund guys going into the consumer LLM game mostly bootstrapped and crushing very hard.
they just released their 2025 roadmap and... wow
25% cohort retention
90mins DAU expected to >3x to 4.5M
ARR from $20M to $69M
but most importantly I went away with the deep impression of what a good AI product company flywheel actually looks like!
*a game that, you'll see in the ep, Chai actually invented
🆕 pod with @chai_research!
Outlasting @NoamShazeer, crowdsourcing Chat + AI with >1.4m DAU, and becoming the "Western DeepSeek":

Chaiverse is what @lmarena_ai would be if it were taken very very seriously (backed by $1m in prizes) and every new model deployed at scale to 5000 users in 3 hours - and if any user can submit new models to test, creating an undefeatable flywheel.

Transactions are landing much smoother now and all systems should be back to normal.
Despite all the challenges, our users swapped over $1.25B in volume and made 10M transactions today.
Huge thanks to the @mert/@heliuslabs and @ethanyish/@AlliumLabs teams for helping us handle this unprecedented surge in activity.
We truly apologize for the issues today. Everyone’s patience is appreciated as we make sure to make the necessary improvements to better handle scale.
