I met @0xy0shi & @hyperstance almost 2 years ago—SBC 2023. From day one, I knew they were a team worth betting on. They were actually the first team I ever tried to get a micro grant for. Kept reaching out. Kept pushing to get them into the Foundry, Monad Madness, whatever I could. Finally was able to convince the team to select them for the Monad Start Up School. It took nearly 2 years of consistent advocacy to finally convince Monad to bet on these guys. In the meantime? These chads never stopped building. Just pure grind. It was obvious from day one—these are the kind of builders any ecosystem would be lucky to have. They just took 1st place at the Monad hackathon, and apparently they were investors favorite project at the hackathon. HUGE CONGRATS.

We still reminisce about our conversations and the happenstance of meeting each other at SBC 2023. We were just getting into web3 development at the time, and was inspired by your passion and efforts to propel us forward. The grind has only begun. Thank you and looking forward to the next chance we can talk again in person! 🙏🏼 💜
@zen_llama @hyperstance our conversations with you is what got us started. i will forever appreciate your support through our early days. you were the number one catalyst that convinced this hackathon team we could build something great! 💜
@zen_llama @0xy0shi @hyperstance not sure if you remember, but in december of 2023 we connected on linkedin and you opened up the first blocklive x monad chat @stagedotfun also started with great zen llama. you're a real builder advocate 💜 x.com/monad_dev/stat…
@zen_llama @0xy0shi @hyperstance Persistence pays off. Building social data integration for trading is smart market timing - on-chain sentiment metrics becoming crucial trading signals. Data-driven wins in bear markets. Y'all building alpha aggregation could disrupt how traders leverage social signals.
