Form Meditations is live! Meditations is a pre-deposit campaign before our mainnet launch. You can stake some assets to receive points, and also get extra yield via our native yield asset Form ETH (FETH). We're really excited to launch with some of the largest protocols in the space - special shoutout to Renzo Protocol, Pendle, Nucleus, Ion Protocol, and Turtle Club 🐢 Meditations is the first step towards creating truly decentralized "SocialFi". Where we are going, social assets belong to the community and users, not apps. SocialFi today is broken. For social capital in the web 3.0 era to be truly liquid, it needs to be user-owned and interoperable with the entire ecosystem. Much more to come in the future, including our truly interoperable bonding curve protocol to move onchain social assets across the entire Ethereum ecosystem, L1 and L2. Oh and custom bonding curves soon! Here's an exclusive by The Defiant on the launch and what's to come down the pipe for interoperable SocialFi via Form. Special shoutout to every Form contributor on the team, and the indefatigable Bradley Miles for making today a reality. https://lnkd.in/djsztc8G

This week I had the pleasure of joining Gaëtan Thabot (Blockdaemon), Ben Milne (Brale), and Priscilla M. (Stellar Development Foundation) on a panel at Stellar's Meridian conference in London. The panel was moderated by the brilliant Emily Nicolle from Bloomberg who quizzed us on how institutions can navigate the DeFi landscape - what the frictions are, and what the enablers might be. Thank you to my fellow panelists for an enjoyable and insightful panel. A special thanks to Ben Milne for buying us beers afterwards using a card backed by Brale issued stablecoin! The adoption is happening and the adoption is here!!🍻 😊 Here are some of my key takeaways: 🚀 Jargon can obfuscate the fact that key technological elements all exist and are available out of the box. It helps to strip away the jargon so institutions can see familiar principles and constructs clearly. 🚀 Foundations play an important role in building and supporting a healthy ecosystem of partners that provides the functionality and optionality that institutions need. 🚀 Infrastructure providers bring robust multi-faceted security encompassing technological, regulatory, legal, and compliance elements. 🚀 Regulated custodians ease the route to adoption by bringing ecosystem connectivity, strong UX, and a wide jurisdictional footprint. #digitalassets #stellar #tokenisation #zodiacustody

It's been just over a week since TOKEN2049 wrapped up, and we're still buzzing from the experience! We've taken some time to reflect on what an incredible event it was—being part of such a dynamic industry and connecting with so many inspiring people is truly a privilege.   A few key takeaways: 👇   1️⃣ The future looks bright—with the increasing push to bring traditional financial assets on-chain, the potential for growth is enormous.   2️⃣ There's still a lot of work to do in educating around regulatory requirements and understanding the gap between what’s technologically possible and what’s compliantly achievable in different jurisdictions.   3️⃣ Builders are absolutely building, there's a air of enthusiasm around what is being built right now, and what's going to be built over the next few years. Everyone's in this together.   We’re moved by the recognition Archax has received, being in a leading spot and prepared for the next phase of institutional on-chain infrastructure scaling. We will next be at the Digital Assets Week event tomorrow and Thursday - come and stop by our stand if you’re attending! 📸 George Kapff, Corporate Development & Andrew Flatt, Chief Technology Officer at Archax
