Some initial thoughts on Worldcoin…
✅The idea of onboarding billions while preventing sybil via biometrics is powerful.

🚩If profitable enough retinal scans could probably be spoofed and operators have no incentives to stop fraud as they earn commission (ht @richardchen39). Wells Fargo anyone?
✅Using ZKP to preserve biometrics <> address privacy is reassuring.

🚩If biometrics data is stored in a central repository could be a massive honeypot?

How NOT to raise money in crypto

A thread for founders.
0/ Some background:

Alongside our venture arm, @TheSpartanGroup also has a 10-person advisory team.

We’ve sat across both sides of the table, and raised + invested 100s of millions in crypto for projects.

Here are the common overlooked lessons on fundraising.
1/ Raising money is not about money.

Think of it as hiring your investors.

This is the second most important decision you’ll make early on, after actually hiring.

So don’t. Rush.

They say the real alpha in conferences is in side events where you meet people.

Here’s what people were talking to me about at the side events, over cocktails and dinners at Mainnet @MessariCrypto 🧵
1/ RISE OF LAYER 1

With $SOL crossing $8B in TVL, $AVAX rocketing to $3B, and $LUNA at $8B, alternative ecosystems are no longer dismissed as vaporware.

They are by and large accepted as parallel solutions to scale throughput for an increasingly mainstream audience.
2/ CROSS CHAIN

@axelarcore was a sponsor at the event, but I’ve had a few conversations about @ConnextNetwork @LayerZero_Labs as well.

Multi-chain, which was contrarian 3-4 years ago, is now consensus and the attention is shifting to cross-chain bridges.

An update: here's what major L1 protocols look like if we use TVL as a proxy for usage
Few personal thoughts:

1/ $ETH: @arbitrum is slowing creeping up in volume, but I think the space is underestimating the impact of L2s on usage because of current fees, which will come down over time

@dydxprotocol token trading soon may draw attention to @StarkWareLtd too
2/ $AVAX: price has tumbled the most. >50% of the OI has been wiped, leverage pretty much reset.

Meanwhile, @binance re-enabled C-Chain withdrawals + @pangolindex liquidity mining (will @traderjoe_xyz follow or lose momentum?) + Rush + @CurveFinance @AaveAave are compelling.
