I've talked to almost every crypto VC out there. We got a few with us, thank you @AvaLabs, @GaingelsVC and @winklevosscap, @GDAgroupHQ 🙏!
The rest? MyStandard is a disruptive, logical business but it's "too early" for us and they want to see more traction.
That's a respectable position but we're going to instantly go from too early to too late in their eyes. Crypto moves fast and there's a lot of noise that'll stop them from noticing our growth. No one has tried this before do there's no comp.
If you understand our team, tech, mission, partners and vision it'll build your conviction to the point where you're not early or late - just in time.
Imagine being a crypto VC in Q2 2027 and having to explain to your LPs that you didn’t outperform the market.
You missed Hyperliquid & Lighter, and also didn’t get into Variational.
Then, you missed ZEC & NEAR because there’s no rounds to ape in and “they pumped too much already”
Throw in Pump fun because “revenue isn’t durable” and Pearl and Quantus because they “don’t make sense” or are “too early”
Maybe add Grass, Venice, Zama, Ethena and Aave in there too.
Yikes…it’s a liquid market era nowadays.
These are your next marginal buyers.

I can attest some of this is truth.
But.
I know you can't rush great art.
Creating human data infrastructure isn't a one, two or 5 year thing. It'll take as long as it takes and it'll become the standard because it's better for people, companies and governments.
I'm a dev in web3 and I kinda... Love it.
you wanna know why crypto is just speculation and gambling now?
put yourself in the shoes of an actual dev who showed up to the space relatively early, say 2018-2020.
consider what it feels like to be someone with an elite background putting in 60-100h weeks every week, while watching people who trade full-time out earn you on a weekly basis
consider watching the other builders who take the predatory deals from VCs get rich by dumping on their community and then retiring with no consequences
consider how it feels to have your treasury get destroyed by FTX or Anchor and to be left with nothing while half the people involved just walk away
how many would still be left? 10%, 20%?
then go through the pumpfun era. watch people who launch bundled scams calling themselves "devs" and once again, out-earning you
march through multiple bear markets, do it all without rugging, and watch the protocols who fuck people over win over and over and over again
deal with the fact that everyone outside of tech assumes you are the same sort of person as the people who retired off rugs, think about how it feels to be labelled a "crypto scammer" by default if you talk about your job as one of the only people trying to actually build things
then, after all that, consider that a new, uber-fast moving industry full of new frontier tech shows up next door and sucks up all the VC funding
would you still be in "Web3"? would you still be committed To The Vision?
no, you would not. you'd either rug, or move on. and that's what everybody did.
Take note people. 5 years in the making. 600k mc. Contracts coming up. Make your bloodline proud
I'm not piling on with Abstract shutting down. They made a business decision and that's that....
But the goal for Abstract was to be the consumer blockchain where consumed crypto lived.
So why did it fail?
A complete lack of truly impactful consumer apps. This industry wholeheartedly lacks imagination. Consumer crypto has only a few use cases not related to gambling.
This is why we didn't build a blockchain or protocol first with MyStandard. We built the app, the use case and will prove it works. After we prove it works we'll scale it. After we scale it we'll launch the L1 on Avax and let other people build on the protocol.
Everyone starts with the final step and has failed. We're doing the opposite.

Data privacy meets elite architecture! 💅✨ MyStandard is building on @avax 🔺 to give users total control over their personal data using zero-knowledge proofs.
Web3 security looks so good on us! 🏔️️🔒
Crypto is trying to solve privacy.
Why? Because blockchain is public, but people and companies are private by nature.
Notable companies tackling this include @AVAX and private blockchains, @Zcash for private payments and @chainlink for confidential compute.
But who is solving private data for people?
That’s what we’re building at MyStandard using $MYST.
You own your data. You decide who gets access to it. Companies get the information they need without taking ownership of your data.

MyStandard is the kind of project that drew me into crypto.
The kind that advances liberty in an era where the powers that be try to use advancing technology as an excuse to undermine our rights.
It’s also just a monster of a project.
Data will always have an endless depth of new frontiers to conquer.
Do yourself a favor, check it out while it’s still a microcap.

$MYST is now part of Congressional record. @MyStandard_Adam isn’t just building a monster of a protocol, @MyStandardDotIO is helping set the standard for privacy and data ownership.
Raise your targets.
I’m I ncluding screenshots (3 here, 2 in next reply) of the materials. You can find the congressional link in MyStandard’s post below.
📢🇺🇸MyStandard is now part of the official U.S. Congressional record.
On September 15, 2026, MyStandard was invited to submit a Statement for the Record to the U.S. House Committee on Small Business for its hearing:
“Main Street Meets Crypto: What Digital Assets Mean for Small Businesses.”
Our submission outlined what we’re building: a new data layer for the future of work where people own their professional data, control how it is shared, and can be compensated when they choose to share it.
For us, blockchain and digital assets aren't the end product. They’re the infrastructure that makes a different model for human data possible.
We're a different way to think about crypto and being on the Congressional record is just another step towards mass adoption.

I like this. I know who it's directed at (not us!)
The token should be necessary, woven into the business and have a flywheel that users and token holders alike will celebrate.
This is way harder than it looks, spend time on it...it can evolve but show you've spent time here.

$Avax Summit Airport delay post of random thoughts...
1) For me, this summit was MORE about solidifying relationships than creating new ones (but I met some new amazing people along the way).
2) Everyone thinks I'm younger than I am... Aging well? Yes yes I am. I shall embrace this.
3) It's clear Avax is playing a long game with larger goals than most chains. Our utility layer being on Avalanche makes so much sense
4) @el33th4xor is such a genuinely nice guy, understands us and gave me a dedicated audience to really dig into what's next. The willingness to ask questions and be intellectually curious is a stand out trait. I'll now defend him from online trolls.
5) A lot of people never heard of MYST and were pleased to hear what we're doing. That's expected. The number of people who found me, praised MyStandard and asked to take a picture very much so surprised me.
6) Conviction in MyStandard somehow grew from this trip. Can you believe that?
7) @Luke_Recruits1 is one of my favorite people... I appreciated his friendship, guidance for MyStandard and his own entrepreneurial spirit. Follow him!
8) The food was good. Unique flavors and messy (for me) so I ate away from everyone
9) The views from a VCs office I met with are sticking with me. Pic below. There are levels to this game.
10) Pete Wiley from @avax_one is such a fun executive to talk with
11) Ktown NYC is a gem and I enjoyed my time with the GDA Capital crew and their networking after hours event.
12) Everyone says they love golf but are bad. Except that one guy... Who couldn't wait to tell me he's scratch. We'll see soon. 😏
13) I know Avax is a global entity but Summit should always be in NYC. It's not because it's close to be but with the objectives in front of us it's really the ideal place. Or, Champaign, IL. Also, I wonder if 3 days is the perfect amount. 2 felt a bit rushed but people also felt mentally checked out towards the end so I'm not sure there. Were there closing remarks? I... Don't think so?
14) I'll post the recording of MyStandard when I get it. The slides got moved around and deleted somehow so it wss a bit funky but hopefully compelling content for you and we can splice it up a bit too. If you're in our TG I'll be doing more AMAs over the next couple months as prepare for launch.
Boarding now, safe travels to everyone getting home.

A privacy-first approach to hiring.
@MyStandard_Adam demonstrated how @MyStandardDotIO helps people get discovered for real job opportunities, while owning their own data and deciding who gets access.

On the bus at the airport going to @avax Summit, I started chatting with the driver, Matt. He’s been driving a bus at the airport for 29 years.
He told me he kind of hates it now. He wanted to be a police officer, but a hiring freeze came up and he never got the opportunity.
“Maybe in another life,” he said.
I asked him if he’s ever considered looking for something else. He said he doesn’t even know where to start and worries about how much time it would take to find and apply to jobs.
Matt is who we’re building MyStandard for. Someone who is on the go, has no idea where to start looking for a job, but would gladly talk to a company that finds him.
Just because you’re busy, you’ve had a long career, or you don’t know where to start shouldn’t stop you from finding a better job.
Why spend hours searching for opportunity? Sometimes, opportunity should find you.
That’s MyStandard. It will be yours too.

I know a lot of you don’t want to hear this, but the Avalanche eco is going to rip so hard when you least expect it.
Particularly those utility tokens you don’t want to pay attention to.

You still haven’t looked into @MyStandardDotIO $MYST yet have you?

And besides, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

glad i compounded my staked $myst while everyone was having a sook about the market
big things on the boil
Feels like we're timing the business side revenues with a strong market @MyStandardDotIO. Just lucky I guess.
I always say revenue > than market conditions but it's easier to sail without headwinds.
