🚨 ⚡ Breaking: I’m proud to share that has... raised $82 million in Series B funding to build the first truly global #crypto #payments #network – one that makes crypto as easy, seamless, and universal to use as fiat. Most of the investments were closed with PayPal USD (#PYUSD) stablecoin. This round, led by Paradigm (Charlie Noyes & Matt Huang) with participation from Consensys.eth , QuantumLight, Yolo Investments, Evolution VC, Hike Ventures, Opportuna and AltaIR Capital, that brings our total funding to over $120 million. Regulatory clarity is taking shape, institutions are leaning in, and #stablecoins are booming. The industry has gotten everything it could have asked for – and then some. Crypto finally has its shot at mainstream adoption. The industry is ready, the technology is ready and we believe #Payments are the unlock. 💡 What is Mesh and How it solves the crypto payments challenges? Mesh is building the #network that connects #wallets, #exchanges, Payment Service Providers (PSPs), and businesses as one cohesive operating system. Users can pay with any asset they hold – BTC, ETH, SOL – while merchants settle in the hashtag#stablecoin of their choice: PYUSD, RLUSD, USDC. It’s seamless, instant, and works everywhere. Just like it should. It’s the foundational infrastructure for a #borderless, open financial system. A system where payments aren’t confined by geography, banking hours, or asset types. One network that works across #TradFi and #crypto. Our technology already powers payments, deposits, and transfers across 300+ wallets, exchanges, and platforms. We reach over 400 million users in 100+ countries. With this capital, we’re expanding globally to making crypto payments as easy as using a credit card. Thank you to everyone on the Mesh team and all of our investors and advisors for their brilliance, hard work, and inspiration. This milestone would not have been possible without their continued support and trust in our vision. We look forward to entering this next phase of growth together. And we are hiring! DM me to build the future together. #Crypto #Payments #Stablecoins #Fundraise #Meshshow more

Replit, Vercel, and OpenAI have built very cool agent-native... applications, but nobody else has passed the demo stage. Building agents that work is complex. Teams aren't shipping agents because we don't have good tooling yet (and most of us don't know how to do this well.) A couple of days ago, the CopilotKit🪁 team announced a collaboration with . You can now use LangGraph with CoAgents to build agent-native applications, and here is everything you need to know about that: CoAgents is fully open-source, and you can use it to do the following: • Human-in-the-loop to steer and correct the agent • Stream intermediate agent state • Real-time state sharing between the agent and the application • Agentic generative UI to build trust that the agent is on the right path Start this GitHub Repository: Thanks to the team for giving me early access and collaborating with me on this post.show more

Tokenization is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about... ideas in crypto. This year we’re aiming much higher. We don’t just want to tokenize miner revenue; we want to bring entire productive ecosystems on-chain. That means tokenizing baskets of assets, real energy infrastructure, AI agents, compute power, data centres, and even the cooling systems that keep high-performance hardware running at scale. All of it connected and interoperable with DeFi. Thats what we have been building throughout. A single on-chain framework that unlocks something genuinely powerful: real ownership, real yield, and real coordination between digital and physical infrastructure. From backend systems and front-end interfaces to smart contracts, AI, physical infrastructure, oracles, and autonomous agents, the stack keeps expanding and compounding. It’s about building the foundation for how value will be owned, deployed, and earned in the next generation of the on-chain economy. Simplified by PinLink.show more

The visit to Denmark begins with an important step... for our defense. An agreement has been reached on Ukrainian-American cooperation in drone production, including interceptor drones — a crystal clear priority. We have signed an agreement with the robust American company Swift Beat, and it foresees hundreds of thousands of drones this year alone, with the potential to significantly scale up production in the coming year. Interceptors to destroy enemy drones and missiles, quadcopters for reconnaissance and fire adjustment, and long-range strike drones — all of these will be produced in much greater numbers to help us achieve our defense goals and protect the lives of Ukrainians. Today, we will continue our work in Denmark, and on new agreements of this kind — focused on joint production, joint development, and joint defense. I thank everyone who is helping!show more

Two weeks ago I fixed one of my teeth... with algorithms I wrote a couple of years ago! I got hooked by 3D scanning when I started to work for a software shop in Zurich that was programming 3D computational geometry algorithms for denture scanning to produce crowns (and more). Back then, a typical reconstruction pipeline was like: scan the patient’s teeth using an intraoral scanner, reconstruct the surface mesh, design the restoration digitally, and finally mill the crown out of ceramic. We were working mostly with point clouds and meshes, but it wasn’t just math, it was craftsmanship translated into a digital process. Every micron mattered. You could literally see how a good algorithm meant a better fit in someone’s mouth. Gaussian Splatting isn’t about surface reconstruction, it’s about appearance reconstruction. It doesn’t care about explicit topology, it captures how light interacts with the scene. In a sense, it’s the opposite philosophy of the dental world: instead of modeling what the object is, it models how the object looks. 3D Gaussian Splatting enables applications like training self driving cars, teaching robots to understand their environment, creating virtual worlds, or monitoring real sites. It represents scenes as millions of small Gaussians rendered in real time without the need for meshes or textures. Coming from a world where precision geometry was everything, this shift felt natural. It’s still about reconstruction, but with a different goal: not manufacturing a perfect object, but reproducing how the world actually looks. Two weeks ago I got my first dental crown, made with the same software, reconstruction algorithms, and Swiss precision I once helped develop. I haven’t worked there in two years, but sitting in that chair and seeing the process from the other side was a proud moment. It reminded me why I love this field.show more

Visa and Mastercard are moving deeper into stablecoin payments.... Banks are testing tokenized settlements. Fintech teams are building the next payment rails in real time. To some this feels like everyone else is already ahead. But the truth is the opposite. These signals show where global finance is heading. Multicurrency accounts, real time settlement, digital dollars as a default payment layer and seamless payments between crypto and fiat. Exactly the direction we have been building toward. In our recent update we highlighted that the 149 billion dollar neobank market is projected to grow to 5.5 trillion dollars by 2033. This transformation has only just begun and the strongest growth is still ahead. The Scallop App is in its final development phase and in closed beta testing with multicurrency fiat accounts, a full crypto wallet and instant crypto to fiat swap functions. Visa debit cards are on the way. We are not late. We are aligned with the market shift that is happening right now. What we are building is not a reaction. It is part of the foundation for the next era of digital banking. The timing is right. The ecosystem is forming. And Scallop is nearing the moment where it steps into the global finance arena.show more
