It’s been a year of growth that was as surprising to live through as it’s been meaningful in hindsight. 2025 moved fast, not just in outcomes, but in how much changed behind the scenes. One of the most important decisions I made this year was bringing on Morgan Williams(@more_again) as Co-Founder and COO. What started as early trust turned into shared ownership. Having someone who’s built and scaled operations at a global level brought clarity, discipline, and balance to how we build @BlockradarHQ. Shortly after, we found ourselves in Switzerland 🇨🇭, winning 1st place at the Crypto Valley(@thecryptovalley) startup competition. It was a quiet but meaningful moment, proof that work done without noise can still travel far. On a personal note, I moved to London, UK 🇬🇧 this year as a Global Talent. New environment, new pace, new perspective. Distance has a way of sharpening focus and forcing you to think long term. The business scaled quickly. We went from around $1M in monthly volume to touching $50M+ monthly. That kind of growth isn’t just exciting, it comes with real responsibility. Every number represents teams trusting our infrastructure to not break. None of this happens alone. I’m deeply grateful to the team building through ambiguity every day, and to the customers and ecosystem partners who trusted us early and grew with us. Building with the right people changes everything. This year reminded me that real progress often looks boring from the outside. Foundations matter more than hype. Reliability compounds. Trust is earned slowly. Looking back, 2025 doesn’t feel like a launch year. It feels like the year everything underneath finally came together. Still early. Still day zero. Onwards.
