Former Apple reviewer sends a warning to app developers who get banned in an unjustified way.
If you have an Apple developer account or an app in the App Store, read this now and share it. Apple rejects your app. The notice is vague, so you fix what you reasonably think is wrong and resubmit. Apple approves it. Months later, with nothing in review, Apple terminates your account under 3.2(f) for “a pattern of manipulative or misleading behavior.” Every app gone. No explanation of what you did. Your crime? Trusting the approval. Apple’s own reviewer looked at your fix, with your rejection history in front of them, and said yes. Then Apple turned that yes into evidence against you. So who’s misleading whom? I ran App Review for seven years and wrote the guidelines. 3.2(f) used to mean real fraud. Now it’s being used against developers who did exactly what Apple approved. I’ve made this Substack post free for everyone. Every developer needs to see it before this happens to them. Share it before someone you know gets that email. phillipshoemaker.substack.co…

Im 2012 Apple removed all of our apps overnight. No review, no chance of an appeal just everything gone. At the time we were one of the top games producers on the AppStore. The lesson is to not rely on the big platforms and why decentralization matters so much to the future web.

Replying to @ysiu
@ysiu of @animocabrands says with @muse, you’re essentially renting your own data. Muse trains on your data & deleting it doesn’t undo that. Decentralized AI is how you take it back. Catch our convo on the next DeAI News Journal. @Liqquidity

🎬 Hollywood Hills Villa mint update. You told us the price wasn’t right, and we heard you. On top of that, a fake collection went live pretending to be us. So we stepped back, rethought the launch, and came back with this: 🎟️ Same price as a movie ticket ($16). Except this time, you’re part of the movie 🎬 🏡 Public mint opens TODAY at 10AM ET 💰 0.00666 ETH 📅 Open until December 28, that’s 66 days from now 🔄 Trading is open Mint at @opensea opensea.io/collection/hollyw… 🙏 To our early WL supporters: you can choose a refund of the price difference or a full refund. [open a ticket in discord] ⚠️ Beware of fake pages and collections. Only mint through @hhillsofficial links. Get on the bus 🌠

TradFi and DeFi are converging faster than ever. 🔗 Our executive chairman and co-founder @ysiu sat down with @FTDA_US CEO Jenny Johnson to unpack how tokenization removes intermediaries and lowers costs, with the savings flowing back to investors as lower fees or higher yield. They also explored how this efficiency opens up institutional-grade assets to far more people, and how vault marketplaces like @NUVAFinance make tokenized RWAs more broadly accessible.

Everybody’s asking what AI will do to crypto. I asked Yat Siu what happens when AI needs money of its own. That’s where this gets interesting.

KBW alpha aging pretty well :) thank you @ysiu If you missed $EDU, take a look at zero-gravity:native Ecosystem * $IAI just hit a new ATH of $500! * Since the launch of $IAI, usage of 0G's PC has doubled. * 0G is backing projects like @Americanfort_io, building privacy infrastructure for AI agent transactions. More to come.

.@a16z We absolutely agree with @ekuyda which is why @hellominds_ was setup as multiagent and multiplayer AI agents since its inception in February this year, check it out at hellominds.ai the leading AI Agent in Asia
Eugenia Kuyda, founder of @wabi, on why chatbots are the MS-DOS era of AI, and why a new interface is necessary to make AI's full potential obvious to everyone: "It always struck me as strange that people were using products like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude, but mostly for very simple use cases: for search, or to help them write something, help with homework." "No one was really mentioning any of these exciting capabilities that we just kept seeing the models get, and so we felt like there must be an interface problem." "There should be something simple for everyone, me included, to actually discover these amazing use cases that all these models already have." "We got obsessed with this metaphor that the current chatbots are really the Microsoft DOS era for AI interfaces. And that there will be some sort of a Windows/MacOS moment." "There is so much traction with chatbots... In order to unlock something else, you need a more exciting interface." @ekuyda

AI is expanding what digital ownership means. @ysiu shared with @EntrepreneurInd why data and the intelligence businesses create with AI are becoming assets worth owning, and he also explained how tokenization and AI can broaden financial inclusion in markets like India.

This week’s timeline is all about Multiplayer agents, but Minds have been since day 1. Personal agents get a lot more useful once the chat is shared! Group chat is in Beta in Minds Studio. Add a friend, add another Mind. It’s like Minds x Slack 👶 app.hellominds.ai 🆓

“We believe there’s going to be hundreds of billions of agents in the future. This is why blockchain matters... you could own your data properly with the agents.” - @ysiu Here’s a look back at Animoca Portfolio Day, where our portfolio companies, investors, and partners took a closer look at agentic payments, identity for AI agents, and institutional assets on-chain. Thank you to everyone who joined us in Singapore. See you next year! 💫

DeltaForesightで開発に携わってきたDeFiプロトコル「JPY DeFi」が、本日Ethereumメインネットで公開されました。 JPY DeFiは、wstETHまたはUSDCを担保に、日本円との価値連動を目標とする暗号資産型ステーブルコイン「JPYdf」を借り入れられるプロトコルです。 現在のオンチェーン金融では、米ドル建てのステーブルコインが中心です。円という単位を世界のオンチェーン金融で使われるものにしたいという思いで、ここまで取り組んできました。 開発と公開の準備を支えてくれたメンバー、そしてご支援くださった投資家・パートナーの皆様に、心から感謝しています。 JPY DeFiはまだ始まったばかりです。動くプロダクトと誠実な運用で、いただいた信頼に応えていきます。引き続きよろしくお願いいたします。
Meet "the yen, onchain." Most of onchain finance runs on the dollar. JPY DeFi gives the yen its own rails. Mint it against $ETH, @LidoFinance 's $wstETH, and $USDC permissionlessly. For traders, builders, researchers & funds. app.jpydf.com/

What changes when an AI agent can remember your goals and make payments for you? At THE NEXT AI & Payment CARNIVAL during #KBW2026, we explored that question with our co-host LINE NEXT’s Unifi and a batch of AI industry leaders. @ysiu discussed how persistent AI agents could reshape the way we interact with technology. The conversations then turned to bringing stablecoin payments into everyday life in Asia, and the infrastructure and trust needed to support them. Additionally, a session on @hellominds_ and AIR by @Moca_Network brought these themes together: moving AI agents beyond chat into real-world action, while giving users control over who acts for them and what those AI agents are authorized to do. As agents start doing more on our behalf, who they act for and on what terms is the conversation worth having next.
