Can you also go from an ordinary person to the founder of an AI project? Quickly take a look back at the highlights of our AMA with DeepFunding✨ Key points in a nutshell 💡 DF focuses on ideas that solve real societal pain points 💡 Beginners can also participate by submitting RFP proposals to secure funding 💡 Having an MVP or prototype greatly increases the chances of selection In last month's AMA, we invited core member Rafael from @DeepFunding to co-host an AMA with us to discuss how everyone can obtain funding through DF. Of course, for many people, entrepreneurship seems far away, but the reality is that many non-technical creators have already received help from DF! Let's take a look at the key points shared by the guests: 1️⃣ Rafael pointed out that over 140 AI projects have been successfully funded, covering a wide range of types, from generative music tools, AI job matching platforms, to community collaborative Bot applications—all involved! So actually, what @DeepFunding values most is not the technical threshold of the team or the founder, but whether they can solve the world's pain points and have a positive impact on society. 2️⃣ In addition to providing financial support, selected AI project teams will also receive technical consulting assistance from Deep Funding, open-source resources, community exposure, and other opportunities. For those without any project management experience or coding background, this support beyond financial aid is very valuable and can significantly reduce trial and error costs ✅ 3️⃣ Rafael noted that while Deep Funding accepts applications at the concept stage, if the team can provide a demo, it makes it easier for the officials to assess the project's potential. Therefore, Rafael encourages everyone to be brave and try a little more to increase their chances of success! This is definitely a plus! Must pay more attention to this🌟 4️⃣ From the perspective of community projects, @MrRyanChi shared a different idea. He believes that more and more young creators are actively entering the Web3 industry due to the democratization of AI tools. If more AI tools are open-sourced in the future, it will not only lower the barriers to entrepreneurship but also make it easier for more idea-driven individuals to reach the product design stage, all thanks to platforms like Deep Funding providing better resources for everyone to realize their ideas. 5️⃣ As an AI artist, @TsukiWong mentioned that after using AI tools, she can experiment with various styles of images in just a few minutes through generative AI, which also reduces time costs in the post-production process. Overall, the creative process is not just driven by inspiration but is an experience of "human-machine integration!" If you're interested, you can also revisit it. What does Deep Funding do? If anyone is interested in testing their ideas, you can apply for funding directly at Deep Funding; you can find the link in the comments below👇🏻

First time on a variety show!!! Let me say this first This time it's really just about doing it fiercely.

TL;DR: 1. #QUICKY 2.0 is dropping soon—revamped user experience. 2. #QUICKY will be the core infrastructure for the Sigma community. 3. Goal: Use #QUICKY to empower the upcoming altseason. P.S: 2nd AMA happening this week — get your questions ready.

Internet Capital Market is Real. This morning, I just came across the Solana RWA panorama that Teacher Mert posted half a month ago, which includes several projects that are rarely mentioned in the Chinese community. While marveling at the awesomeness of the @Solana ecosystem, I feel it's time to bring these Hidden Gems back into the public eye❗️❗️❗️ Today, I'll first discuss the stock x Web3 part, and I will update the other major sections daily. If you're interested, remember to follow me: First contender: @superstatefunds: Main products include: 1) USCC: Superstate Crypto Carry Fund, primarily a crypto purchase option for institutional clients. It employs cash-and-carry trades for arbitrage strategies involving BTC/ETH/SOL. Currently, the AUM is about $170 million. The returns over the past 90 days have fluctuated between 5% - 10%. 2) USTB: Superstate Short Duration US Government Securities Fund, an on-chain short-term government bond investment tool, mainly facilitating on-chain purchases and launches through blockchain, as well as real-time asset pricing. The USCC part of Superstate Funds relies more heavily on @solana compared to USTB, which also has some bank Book Record. USTB mainly involves banks + ETH. Second contender: @xStocksFi This one should be very familiar to everyone recently, with strong support from @Bybit_Official, @krakenfx, and @solana, as well as participation from two DeFi providers, @byreal_io and @KaminoFinance. (By the way, thanks to @Solana_zh for providing the Byreal whitelist qualification). Currently, xStocks mainly aims to put 60 US stocks on-chain and list them on five major exchanges. The tokenization of stocks is still in its early stages, and predators like @RobinhoodApp are eyeing this big piece of meat, so it's hard to say who is doing well, who has advantages, or even what constitutes an advantage. Therefore, all we can do is keep an eye on it. Overall, I believe that tokenized stocks are still a major trend and must run parallel to regulation. If done well, the entire asset management industry will be directly reshaped. More importantly, I believe that smart token trading products like @sigmaboy_ai will replace a large number of asset management platforms and reap significant benefits. Third contender: @OndoFinance This is also an old player, focusing on asset tokenization. The product range is quite extensive, including: 1) US short-term government bonds: helping enterprises manage government bonds with high transparency and high returns. 2) US bonds & stablecoins: customized stablecoin/government bond issuance for large asset management institutions, with clients including @BlackRock, @FTI_Global, and many others. 3) FLUX: A DeFi lending protocol acquired by Ondo, which should be familiar to DeFi veterans. Basically, Ondo is an L1 providing RWA services for institutions, and it has a close relationship with Solana, which is expected to continue to empower each other. Fourth contender: @RemoraMarkets This contender is not as famous as the previous ones, but has a particularly good relationship with @Solana and is strongly bound to the Step system (utilizing data services provided by @StepFinance_). Remora's main business is in tokenized securities, aiming to provide more flexible options for stock purchases through tokenization. Currently, the product is not yet available, as it is still in the process of conducting KYB for enterprises and issuing stocks. According to the official website, Remora is expected to support trading of stocks from major companies like APPLE and Tesla in the future. However, based on the gathering of enterprises for KYB, it is reasonable to speculate that Remora's larger market lies in helping crowdfunding stocks achieve on-chain trading, similar to the STO craze back in the day. In summary, the stock RWA segment of the Solana ecosystem is quite comprehensive, catering to various stakeholders, big and small. Although I already want to start praising @solana heavily, this is just the first article, and it's just a small trial. The real summary will wait until I've written six articles, then I'll write it well❗️❗️❗️

Just had a meal while listening to TechCrunch's podcast. When they mentioned @grok, they said: Elon Musk’s AI is getting cringier. I almost spit my food out laughing. However, @elonmusk, I still like Ani as a fat ass otaku. @gork comments?

This product is quite interesting and is very similar to a concept I considered before - issuing personal opinions as tokens on the blockchain. Recently, InfoFi was very popular, to some extent it connected "information", that is, token information, with the channels of the cx community. @opinionsdotfun shares personal insights and then uses token voting to prove whether the opinion itself is supported. My understanding is that this model is equivalent to @KaitoAI + @Polymarket, integrating the mainstream model of information/opinion dissemination by KOLs and communities, as well as the "cognitive sharing" model where prediction markets put real money behind personal beliefs and insights. Recently, many people have mentioned the high repetitiveness of InfoFi itself. This elevation of OpinionFi can, to some extent, reduce repetitiveness and bring more "insider" information to light, which I find quite interesting. Moreover, with a new platform, there might also be some wealth effects. Who knows.

Two years ago, I suggested that Star Bank start researching stablecoins as soon as possible in a competition. At that time, it was considered too unrealistic and was ignored by the executives there. Now they have started to enter the market with JD.com. Now who is daddy?
