Pyth is the future of onchain oracle services without a doubt. Scalability: - Uses publishers (~6-7 CEXs / MMs / DEXs) to create price feeds, allowing oracles on far more types of assets. Serves emerging L1/tokens best. Non-crypto assets: -FX, commodities, and interest rates.

As a former VC, crypto venture over indexes on product in early stage. Could have/still can blow it out of the park by just investing in extremely ambitious founders that can 1) pivot fast 2) survive 3) do whatever it takes to win. High capital velocity = finding new PMF easy.

3) Community tokens. The only major distribution of $APT was during airdrop 1. Any chain knows that its tokens are the most valuable assets to build traction and acquire users. I expect that users of the chain will eventually benefit from this in a significant way.

A user *just* deposited $5m in $APT in @ThalaLabs to borrow MOD. This brings our TVL to $20m and stablecoin collateral composition to almost 60% non-USDC/USDT. DeFi just heating up here and as more APT unlocks, predict an increasing amount of this is rolled into Thala.

2) The three largest are Blackrock, Vanguard, and Fidelity. If I had to guess this refers to either them using the chain in someway / integrating it into one of their products which has precedent in the TradFi world. Also note Blackrock is the most crypto-aligned of the bunch.
