Quick weekly update:
- Rebranded to Specta (small Remotion vid directed + produced by Gemini)
- Added NCAA games + lots of backend changes which set the stage for expansion to all sports/leagues
- Finished integrating Polymarket's bridge for both deposits + withdrawals (Polygon + USDC.e abstracted away for the most part)
tunamon.com is live! we're in public alpha right now (bug reports appreciated ❤️ - funds always safe thanks to Privy). tunamon = @Polymarket for sports w/ data that's useful + easy to understand + fun to look at
deposits are USDC.e on Polygon only at the moment, but bridging + more deposit assets next week
if you have suggestions, feedback, bug reports, or requests, dm! my only mission with tunamon is to build stuff that helps us beat the pros
Public alpha is ✅ Tunamon.com
What can you do today?
🚀 Sign up via X and trade from any device (no wallet needed, we'll make one for you, secured with @privy_io)
🏀 Trade NBA game outcomes (same options as @Polymarket and more)
🤖 Get up to speed on upcoming NBA games in 30s with "Game Previews" (stats -> AI -> you)
What *else* can you do today?
🪨 No TV? No NBA subscription? No problem. For live games, watch shots happen in real-time and see what the market does (shots mapped to outcome prices)
📈 Trading the total points over/under? Check out the Game chart after selecting a "Total X" market - live games only - the scoring pace is calculated for you so you can see whether your trade will hit or not
🚀 And more
How are we different?
🏟️ Not interested in being the trading terminal that supports every category. Just sports. We want to be the best at it
🔮 Not trying to predict the future - no one can do that. Just sharing intel that lets you compete with the pros
👍 Small scrappy team who will ship nonstop to make your prediction market dreams come true
We're motivated to see you win. You make money = you use Tunamon.com. No trading fees (probably forever). Non-custodial (your keys, your coins). Sports only
Have questions, need support, or want a specific piece of intel/signal/etc? Comment or DM ❤️
small announcement: i'm building @tunamon_com the trading terminal for sports (NBA first) - started friend + family testing on friday, and the feedback so far has been "best sports trading experience i've had". if you're a friend + into bball, dm me (i'll cover your test balance)
happy 2026 all, i left @ritualfnd recently to tend to my health, and want to thank my colleagues at Foundation and friends at Labs for the greatest level-up of my life - there's no better place if you want to learn from the best in crypto x AI (if you're serious, reach out to @sanlsrni @BenPerszyk @0xQTpie or dm me and i'll put you in touch). gonna log now to get some more sun and family time, then back to building - 2026 will be a glorious year 🚀

Probably one of the most severe flushes I’ve ever seen on alts, I didn’t even imagine alts had this much leverage in them. It feels like someone got hit very hard and will see a large body float to the surface soon, reminds me a little of summer 2021.
Good reminder to myself to own things that I am actually bullish on, and not things I am trying to shift on momentum. Some charts look like they’ll never recover, whereas some things look buyable for the first time in a while.
When everyone is making hilarious amounts of money I am always tempted to start using leverage again. It is almost impossible to fight the feeling that you’re not making enough, or everyone else is outpacing you. Good reminder that fighting that feeling and avoid the wipeouts is worth it in the end.
Check on your friends, likely a bad day for many.
Personally, am concentrating my bags into the things I am happy to own for the next few years, and shedding the fat. Realised I own some assets based on not wanting to miss out, rather than on some actual thesis. Days like today are much easier for me if I think my bags will bounce back, and much worse if I’m losing money owning things I don’t even believe in.
Don’t let a leverage blowup dictate your long-term views. The future is bright, good things to come, patience is rewarded.

Best to ever do it - congrats @joeysantoro !
Major life update 🥳
I’ve been living @thenetworkstate by Singapore for the past few weeks and I’m staying for the next year.
Here’s why I’m all in (and why you should pay attention) 👇
Two clear trends:
1. Modern city life is broken. People feel isolated, apathetic, and cynical across dating, careers, and social life. Plenty of exceptions and some revival in health circles but a clear trend.
2. The West (esp. America) underestimates Asia. It’s safe, developed, purposeful, practical. Yes, issues exist but there is an engineering solutions mindset focused on growth + sustainability.
The Network School is solving (1) and benefiting from (2).
I’ve built dozens of meaningful friendships here through gym sessions, learnathons, excursions. I'm fueling my body, mind, and soul with people on the same wavelength from all over the world.
It’s one thing to read @balajis book. It’s another to live here and feel the energy and growth in real time.
I expect NS mindshare to explode after the Singapore conference Oct 1 (you should come).
If you’re curious about joining for a month+ (funding available for startups 🚀) check out ns.com/apply
Drop questions in the comments or DM me to learn more as I tweet about the journey 😄

Had a ton of fun building Promptd with the @ritualfnd crew! Promptd is what prompt marketplaces should be - made possible with @ritualnet.
Here's what's broken with marketplaces like Promptbase:
- 🥷 Theft. As a creator, your prompts are your livelihood. On Promptbase, buyers essentially own your prompts after purchase and can share them freely or compete with you directly. That makes it nearly impossible to price your work at its true value.
- 🤢 Frustrating + Expensive. As a customer, your goal is simple: pay and get your prompt-generated content. Marketplaces like Promptbase make your life hard: you're expected to bring your own models, or pay a pricy subscription to use theirs.
Promptd fixes this.
- 🔐 Creator prompts are encrypted in-browser and only decrypted inside the verifiable Promptd TEE app. No one sees your valuable prompts, not even Promptd.
- 💨 Customers pay and immediately receive their prompt-generated content. No hassles or hoops.
If running a revenue-generating AI business (like Promptd) gets you going, apply to Shrine at shrine.ritualfoundation.com/…. You'll get the prototype codebase and hands-on support to take it to the next level.

Excited to share that I’ll be joining the immensely-based @ritualfnd team this week as an Ecosystem Engineer!
Thank you to @sanlsrni @0xQTpie @BenPerszyk; I didn't think it was possible to be more excited than I already was about Ritual and crypto x AI until I spoke to them, &

For my fellow JavaScript/TypeScript devs interested in crypto x AI: github.com/kphed/infernet-no….
The repo contains a JS/TS port of the original Python-based @ritualnet Infernet node and features the following:
- Viem (@wevm_dev) for chain read/write operations.
- Zod (@zodtypes) for static type-checking and run-time validation.
- Node.js (@nodejs) and Fastify (@fastifyjs) for the web server.
First, if you’re unfamiliar with Ritual Infernet, here’s a simplified explanation of what it is, how it works, and why you’d want to run an Infernet node (for a deeper dive, I’d recommend checking out the Ritual docs):
What is it? Infernet is a decentralized oracle network that helps smart contracts fetch data and execute off-chain tasks by handling what’s too expensive, impractical, or impossible to do on-chain.
How does it work? Infernet nodes are the worker bees of the network; nodes track compute requests and coordinate off-chain services to fulfill them.
Why run a node? Infernet nodes don’t work for free. As a node operator, you set the tokens and minimum fees you’ll accept for fulfilling requests.
Now that you’ve got the basics, it’s time to fire up your own node! Check out the repo's README for a detailed step-by-step guide, a progress roadmap, and more.
Thanks for reading, if you have feedback or questions, feel free to leave a comment or send me a DM! I’d be happy to brainstorm, or help however I can.

If you're bullish on ETF inflows for $BTC, you're about to become real bullish on these vaults doing the same for your memecoins
Tired of holding ETH and underperforming memecoins?
Next Monday, you'll be able to deposit ETH into our new app and earn @degentokenbase and @ElonRWA on auto (more tokens soon).
