Nigeria’s internet has a problem.

220M+ people. Booming tech scene.
But less than half have real broadband access.

Here’s how a community-owned network called @dawninternet is flipping the script and building Nigeria’s internet from the ground up

A Thr~ead↓ For decades, a few telecom giants controlled everything:
the towers, the cables, the gateways.

They decided who connects and how much it costs.

But DAWN Network believes there’s a better way
one where the people own the internet itself.

Metis Is Evolving Beyond L2: Here’s Why I’m Excited as a Community Member

For a long time, I thought of Metis as “one of those Ethereum L2s.” Faster transactions, lower fees, optimistic rollup tech (you know the drill). But recently, I came across a letter from the @MetisL2 team (@ElenaCryptoChic), and it became clear: they’re no longer just positioning themselves as a scaling solution.

Metis is now building something much bigger: a full-stack economy that merges blockchain infrastructure with AI-native applications. And as a community member watching this unfold, I can’t help but feel excited. Metis now describes its ecosystem as three interconnected layers:

>> Andromeda → The battle-tested settlement and trading layer. Think of this as the foundation: secure, decentralized, and proven.

>> Hyperion → The AI-optimized infrastructure layer designed for higher throughput and lower latency. This is where raw speed and performance get supercharged.

>> LazAI → The application and data layer, where AI agents, apps, and user playability come to life.

What stands out is that these aren’t siloed tools. Instead, Metis wants them to work as one connected economy i.e a place where infra, data, and applications interact seamlessly.

If someone gave you a $1,000 bet to build a website or an app in a single day with no coding, no team, just you how would you do it?

I’ll be honest. I would lose that bet almost immediately. Building anything on-chain, especially on Solana, is far from easy.

A Thr~ead↓ You’re expected to understand coding languages like Rust or Anchor, set up wallets and RPCs, deploy contracts safely, and then design and host the frontend.

That’s not something an ordinary person can just wake up and accomplish in a few hours. It takes months of learning, trial, and error.

2,800+ Media Nodes. 600M+ minutes of calls. 176K+ active users.

This is not a regular streaming giant or a telco, this is a people-powered network that’s rewriting how real-time communication works.

And in Act II: The Nexus, Chapter 2, you can help battle-test it. 🧵👇 Here’s a thing most people don’t know about…

Even if you’re just 50 meters apart, your voice might travel hundreds of miles, first bouncing between distant servers before looping back to your friend’s device.

This happens every single time you connect on a call.

AI is evolving fast.

But under the surface, there’s a major flaw no one’s fixing:
The AI revolution is built on broken & borrowed data.

And @LazAINetwork is the hard tech that's solving this.

Let me show you why AI today looks impressive but it’s deeply centralized.

A handful of tech giants control the models, the compute, and most of all… the data.

They decide what gets trained, who gets paid, and who gets left behind.

Not only is it unfair, it’s inefficient.

Is it really possible to do everything in one crypto app?

Why do I need a PhD to use crypto?

You swap on one app, bridge on another, stake through a third and still forget to hold gas on the destination chain.

All that… just to move $50?

This is the system we’ve normalized.

And honestly, It is wild.
For a long time, I just assumed this was the price of being early.

But recently, I came to realize that there’s actually an app already built to solve this exact problem.

It’s called.@HeyElsaAI .

And it’s already doing what most apps have only been promising for years.

HeyElsa… is not a wallet.
It’s not a dashboard.
And it’s definitely not one of those tools that claims to simplify DeFi but still expects you to do all the work.

This is something different.

Elsa is an AI-powered crypto co-pilot.

You talk to Elsa like you’d talk to ChatGPT:

> “Swap $20 to SOL and stake it.”
> “Send 10 USDC to Optimism.”
> “Buy top trending meme coins.”
& Elsa figures it all out and executes for you.

It feels like using ChatGPT but for crypto.

When you sign up, Elsa gives you a secure MPC wallet just from your email.
(You can use that or connect your wallet instead)

– No seed phrase
– No browser extension
– No complicated setup

Just email → and you’re live on-chain.

Elsa removes all the usual pain:

– No more needing ETH to pay gas
– No switching chains
– No bouncing across bridges or dApps

If you say the outcome. Elsa finds the best way to make it happen.


And now… let me show you just how real this gets 👇

Before I discovered Elsa, this was literally me:
DeFi didn’t need to be this hard.

Here are real things I’ve done with Elsa:

– “Send $10 USDC to a friend on BASE” → done.
– “Buy trending meme coins on Solana” → done.
– “Stake ETH on Arbitrum” → no stress.

And here’s what sealed it for me:

The team behind HeyElsa sent me $50 USDC through the app real funds.

No delay. No issues. & It landed instantly.

Didn’t expect it. But hey Elsa delivers. Literally.

x.com/HeyElsaAI/stat…

It’s not just convenient.

Elsa is actually *smart.*

It checks real-time DeFi data:
– Best rates
– Risky pools
– Gas optimization
– Routing paths

It acts more like a strategist than a tool.(Depends on how you want to use it)

And it’s not doing that alone.

Elsa is powered by serious infrastructure:

– @AnomaNetwork for modular intents
– @EnsoFinance for real-time routing
– @selfchainxy for MPC wallet abstraction

Next, let’s talk security & who this is really built for 👇

Not every blockchain is built for trading memes.

Some are built to move money, issue assets, and deliver aid at scale.

@StellarOrg been doing that for a decade.

Let’s unpack the most useful chain you’ve probably overlooked

A Thr~ead↓ What is Stellar?

Launched in 2014, Stellar is an open-source public blockchain built for real finance.

Designed for:
— Issuing assets (like stablecoins or treasuries)
— Powering cross-border payments
— Enabling global financial access

No meme tokens. No hype cycles.
It is fast, stable,a programmable money that works across borders.

> Think of Stellar as a universal value transfer layer.

You Don't Own Your AI

You know, people think they own the AI they use.

But they don’t.

Not when it’s hosted on someone else’s server.
Not when the models can be throttled, restricted, or censored.
Not when your data is the product.

It’s time we talk about what’s really going on.

A Thr~ead↓ GPT. Grok. Claude. All of them.

They’re useful, sure.

But if you’ve ever had your responses go weird, or your access cut off, or just felt like your conversations were being watched…

It’s because you’re not in control. They are.

And that’s by design.

83,000+ GPUs. $84K+ earned daily.

Not in theory. Not in some testnet.

All of it is real.
All of it is public.
All of it is... decentralized.

While most DePIN projects are still pitching the future, io(.)net is already showing live, on-chain revenue.

Here’s how it works, and why it might flip the AI game.

A Thr~ead↓ What happens when you link 83,000+ GPUs from 130+ countries into a single decentralized mesh?

You get io.net, an open infrastructure where anyone can rent compute for AI or gaming, and GPU owners get rewarded.

It’s global, permissionless, and... surprisingly stable. It’s proving that decentralization can generate real, trackable revenue.

I Wasn’t Looking for It… But I Think I Just Found What Web3 Has Been Missing

A quiet fix for Solana mobile apps that actually makes sense, and I need you to see it too.

This wasn’t something I planned to find.
I wasn’t deep in dev mode. I wasn’t searching for some secret framework.

But then I stumbled on something called Solana App Kit.

And I haven’t stopped thinking about it since.

Because after watching so many great crypto ideas stall, fade, or never get built at all…
This felt like a real missing piece finally got dropped into place.

A Thr~ead↓ You Ever Notice How Hard It Is to Build for Mobile in Web3?

We talk a lot about speed.
We praise low fees.
We celebrate innovation.

But behind all the headlines, there’s this one quiet truth:

> Building real mobile crypto apps is still way harder than it should be.

•Wallets break.
•Onboarding sucks.
•UX feels like a compromise.
•And builders waste days just wiring things together.

It’s not that the ideas are bad.
It’s that the tools never really kept up.

Everyone loves to say “Bitcoin is the most secure network in the world.” And they’re right.

But here's the uncomfortable truth:
That same Bitcoin is barely used.

Not because people don’t believe in it. But because they’ve never had the tools to build with it.

That’s changing. Quietly. Powerfully. With ₿apps.
Let me show you what I just discovered 👇 We’ve been treating Bitcoin like digital gold. Lock it away. HODL. Wait.
But in doing so, we’ve sidelined it from what it was meant to be: a living, breathing money system.

Meanwhile…

•Exchanges earn more BTC fees than the entire Bitcoin network
•Millions of BTC sit on custodial platforms
•Wrapped BTC is doing laps on other chains

It’s not that BTC doesn’t have demand.
It’s that Bitcoin-native apps have been missing.

Until now.

I’ve never been the type to get excited about Web3 domains.

Honestly, they always felt like digital vanity plates, nice to look at, but with no real utility. Just something people flexed on their wallets or Twitter bios. So for the longest time, I stayed away. No .sol, no .eth, no .ton nothing.

But something shifted recently, and now, I can say with full confidence:
owning a domain might be one of the smartest Web3 plays I’ve made.

Let me show you why.

A Thr~ead↓ It started with a simple curiosity.

I came across this platform called @AllDomains_, built on @solana. The flow was smooth: I connected my wallet, searched for my name, and saw nakins.solana was available. Clean, personal, and it only cost me 0.06 SOL. I shrugged and bought it.

Took <1 minute.

What I didn’t expect was everything that came next.

DeFi is still broken.

Here’s why:

•Liquidity- Scattered across chains
•Swaps-Painful, slow, and risky
•Gas-Unpredictable + expensive

Now imagine this:

One AMM to fix it all

Introducing @skate_chain AMM

> The first cross-chain liquidity layer built on Solana

A Thr~ead Before we go further… what’s an AMM?

AMM stands for Automated Market Maker.
It’s a type of decentralized exchange that lets you trade crypto instantly,no buyers or sellers needed.

You’re trading directly with a smart contract.

Instead of using an order book like traditional exchanges, AMMs use:
• Liquidity pools (crypto locked by users)
• Pricing algorithms to set fair rates
