Can you steal a seeker phone? I built Steal a Seeker game for the CLOCK IN hackathon, and it’s now live on the Solana dApp Store. In the game you’re a tiny thief, who needs to grab the phone and escape. I like that CLOCK IN gives builders a reason to turn an idea into something people can download and use. If you’re building for CLOCK IN too, drop your project below. 👇 Let’s try each other’s apps and share useful feedback :)

1/ revenue up. profit up. jobs cut. circle reported $865m in Q3 revenue + reserve income, up 17% yoy. net income rose 5%. in an earnings footnote: a workforce reduction of about 5%, with $9.1m in restructuring charges. growth isn't job security. circle reported $865m in Q3 revenue + reserve income, up 17% yoy. net income rose 5%. in an earnings footnote: a workforce reduction of about 5%, with $9.1m in restructuring charges. growth isn't job security. circle reported $865m in Q3 revenue + reserve income, up 17% yoy. net income rose 5%. in an earnings footnote: a workforce reduction of about 5%, with $9.1m in restructuring charges. circle reported $865m in Q3 revenue + reserve income, up 17% yoy. net income rose 5%. in an earnings footnote: a workforce reduction of about 5%, with $9.1m in restructuring charges. growth isn't job security.
Q3 was a big quarter for Circle. → USDC carried 79% of all stablecoin transaction volume, up from 66% a year ago, and $13.9T moved onchain (+49%) → A record $208B of USDC was minted and redeemed, about $2.3B every day → Arc mainnet went live, with 100+ institutions and apps building on it → CPN ended the quarter at $41B in annualized volume, up 15x YoY, and it's already past $58B → Over 99% of agent payments on x402 settle in USDC In January, the GENIUS Act takes effect and regulated digital dollars go mainstream. Every layer of our platform is live and ready for it. We built Circle for this moment. Full results at investor.circle.com.

4/ "strategic priorities" doesn't answer the question workers care about. @jerallaire @circle did AI productivity contribute to the 5% workforce reduction, or was this about rates and restructuring? if AI changes the economics of hiring, that deserves a direct discussion.

been heads down building the infra behind this. you borrow against your stocks at 0%, and lenders get paid from covered calls instead of your interest. grateful to everyone who backed us, and we're just getting started 🐳
We’re excited to announce that Spout has raised a $2m strategic round from @DraperDragon, @Anchorage, @FlowTraders, @Taisu_Ventures, @VesselVC, @solayer_labs, @2SquareCapital and @Bering_Waters, with strategic backing from @solanalabs Borrowing against your own stock doesn’t have to cost interest. Post tokenized US equities as collateral. Borrow USDC at a flat 50% LTV. Pay 0% interest for as long as you hold the loan. The lender is paid out of covered call premium written weekly against that collateral, not out of a rate the borrower pays. That is the whole trick.
