🚀 I’m loving how Base is scaling. They’ve just integrated with Solana’s Phantom Wallet, which means Phantom users can now send and receive USDC and ETH using cards, Apple Pay and Coinbase.

In case you didn’t know, Phantom is kind of a big deal, backed by headliners like Paradigm, Jump Capital, and Andreessen Horowitz.

🌱 LaborX is on Base already, and we’re actively working with Base contributors. Definitely looking forward to potential collaborations.

🤔 I wonder what the KPIs will be. Are they tracking how many corporate boards you can persuade to allocate 10% of their treasury to Bitcoin, or how many “blockchain is a fad” naysayers you can turn into enthusiasts?

Here's the link, if you're qualified 😉

🤖 OpenAI has just launched Canvas, a new tool that enables coding directly within ChatGPT. It allows users to instantly translate code into different programming languages, edit and fix code in real time, and receive code reviews. You can also adjust the style and complexity of your text on the fly while checking for clarity and logic.

What does this mean for coders? I believe we should view such tools as allies that enhance our work. They can automate tedious tasks and provide instant feedback, allowing you to focus on solving bigger problems.

🚀 $TIME is now officially available on the TON network. The new token, jTIME, marks a significant step forward in expanding our ecosystem.

By launching on TON, we’re making it easier for people to access our main token. With lower fees and quicker transactions, this is a win for everyone. It means more ways to trade, more flexibility, and a stronger presence in the crypto space.

If you want to stock up on jTIME (do not confuse it with the meme token $TIME), you can do it via this link.

🧘‍♂️ Looks like the crypto world is feeling a little less stressed. The Fear & Greed Index finally flipped to "greed" after what felt like forever.

While it's fun to watch the charts, let’s treat them as a little backup. Building and creating something that lasts—whether the market’s feeling greedy or not.

🪙 SECOND Payments: A Huge Milestone For Time Farm
We’ve just upgraded Time Farm with a new feature. Users can now create tasks in the app and pay other community members SECOND to complete them. For example, anyone can pay users to like and repost on X, or join a Telegram group they’re involved with.

This is a really exciting moment for Time Farm and our members, for at least two reasons.

The first is that this service has genuine, real-world value. It’s the kind of thing you’d typically pay a marketing company to do. And that means it brings real value to SECOND, too, as our native currency.

The second reason is that it shows just how powerful a Web3 approach can be — leveraging huge, global communities to market projects and establish a stronger presence on social media. It shifts the balance of power a little further away from those giant internet corporations who typically control advertising.

That has always been our vision at Chrono.Tech, and it’s fantastic to bring it a step closer to reality!

🏛 It’s good to see more Web3 companies building relationships with governments around the world. This kind of regulation helps protect people from scammers and shows respect for local laws.

If you want to grow in a country, you need to play by the rules—it benefits the entire economy.

In the US market, the regulations are tough, and not everyone can just jump in and start building. But those who do, prove they can adapt and scale. A win-win for everyone.

🤦‍♂ A friend of mine recently complained that it took his company three whole months to close a marketing position. Three months! And we’re not talking about some niche, hard-to-find talent either.

Turns out the issue wasn’t the talent pool—it was their hiring process.

They had candidates going through five rounds of interviews, a written test, a personality assessment, another task (I’m not even sure which one), and a final panel interview. By the end of it, most candidates had already ghosted.

Sure, you want top talent—but dragging candidates through an endless process doesn’t guarantee that. If anything, you’ll just lose the good ones who can see it’s not worth the hassle.

🤔 What’s with all these crypto and tech celebrities wanting to fight people, even as a joke? Is it just passion, or should they channel that energy into something more creative? Like that sing-off Vitalik did earlier.

🕺 Vitalik took the stage at Token 2049 and performed Castle in the Sky in Japanese like he was born to be a J-pop star. If he’s this fearless with his vocals, imagine what he can do with Ethereum...

🏢 Amazon CEO Andy Jassy sent out a letter addressing the company’s culture and management bloat. He’s cutting down layers of managers and tackling the bureaucracy that’s slowed Amazon down—calling out dreadful things like "pre-meetings for the pre-meetings."

Jassy is also pushing for a full return to the office five days a week. I obviously think that’s a step backward.

Pretty sure that forcing people back into the office doesn’t fix Amazon’s deeper problems and might even add unnecessary friction.

🌱 Binance stepping in with $1 million in BNB to help those affected by typhoon in Vietnam is a good example of how crypto can save the day.

Charity needs blockchain: you know exactly where the money’s going. No disappearing acts.

Charity with receipts—because transparency matters. Plus, no waiting weeks for bureaucracy to catch up. Crypto’s got speed and accountability all in one.

🚪 Gemini is packing up and leaving Canada. It’s not the first one—Binance, OKX and a bunch of others have all bounced too.

With tighter crypto regulations and sanctions, we're seeing a shift across the board.

I guess, over the next few years, we might see two parallel crypto worlds emerge. One, heavily regulated, with stricter oversight. And another, more decentralized and free, thriving in places that welcome innovation and in need of change.

🤔 The question is—where will the next wave of growth happen, and which world do we want to live in?

🎥 I’ve recently dipped my toes into the world of YouTube blogging, and let me tell you, it’s a hard work—though it’s also fun. So far, I’ve been posting in Russian, but the English version is coming soon.

I like to think of it as my “non-profit” venture, aiming to educate and entertain our community. Let's see how it goes.

🏰 Vitalik’s latest thoughts on Ethereum alignment are on point. He highlights the need to balance decentralization with cooperation, so Ethereum doesn’t end up as a bunch of fragmented projects.

By making alignment measurable—through things like open source, following standards, and ensuring decentralization—projects can be evaluated on real metrics instead of just "having the right friends."

His focus on "positive-sum" goals is something i can totally relate to. Projects shouldn’t just benefit themselves but contribute to the wider ecosystem and even global causes.

🥽 Meta just dropped the Meta Quest 3S, a new virtual reality headset that’s a little easier on the wallet. The price starts at $299.

It’s got a cool design and some fun features, but the resolution isn’t quite as sharp as its big brother, the Quest 3. Still, it’s all about having a good time exploring virtual world.

🛤 When the hype train's rolling, it’s smart to hop on and ride it right.

Hype brings opportunities.

Take mini-apps in Telegram, they’re not just fun and games. It’s a whole new world for business. You can build, develop, and reach users in a way that’s quick and effective.

Whether it’s crypto, Web3, or something else entirely, using trends gives you a chance to create something extraordinary.

💸 Fair pay isn’t a privilege – it’s just common sense. I’ve been meeting with people deeply involved in creating job opportunities, and one thing keeps coming up: freelancers are tired of being underpaid or waiting forever to get paid.

The idea that fair pay is some kind of luxury is ridiculous. It’s just common sense. And thanks to crypto, we now have a way to make sure people get paid what they’re worth—quickly and fairly.

🏛 Louisiana is now accepting crypto payments. State Treasurer John Fleming just announced that residents can use Bitcoin and USDC for state services. The first payment has already been made.

Kinda fun how the US has such mixed feelings about crypto. Some states are super progressive, others are still resistant. I wonder how this all plays out.

💡 Came across the Web3 Workforce Survey by Consensys. It states that the majority of Web3 professionals—86%—are optimistic about the future of the industry.

Key findings include a strong preference for flexible pay options, with many wanting a mix of crypto and fiat, and a high value placed on remote work. Very encouraging!

🌱 The survey also highlights a need for greater diversity, as the industry is currently skewed toward younger, predominantly male professionals. Surerly, mix of voices will keep things fresh and help us thrive.

⚖️ Balancing the drive to make money with a desire to do something meaningful can be tricky.

On one hand, you want to earn a good living; on the other, you want to create something that truly helps people.

I’ve realised these goals can work together. When you focus on building something valuable that solves real problems, success and profits often follow.

💡 Chasing money is short-term, but creating something with purpose leaves an impact.
Aim for both.

💯 Vitalik’s push for higher ecosystem standards resonates with me. At Chrono.tech and LaborX, we’ve come across many enthusiastic startups looking to partner with us. However, we quickly realized that excitement alone isn’t enough. High standards for security and reliability must be in place.

Until now, we carefully choose who we work with. Just like Vitalik emphasizes higher standards for L2s, we prioritize working with partners who meet certain criteria.
