What I did this week?

It was great coming back after 2 weeks break, very very restful. Much needed and appreciated break.

Things I learned

AI is amazing, I spent a week rebuilding my personal website, and I got a lot of stuff done. I refactored my entire website and built a blob storage system with a Cloudflare worker, all with Claude Code, it's incredible. Not perfect, but highly recommend all of you check it out. Also, I realise I really miss writing code.

Updates

I am in the process with a liquid fund called Appworks, their head is the CEO of Taiwan Mobile (apparently the second largest telco in Taiwan). They are looking to take a large (~3M) position in CLOUD and they want to meet me in person in Taiwan and ask a bunch of questions about my personal story (I know, quite weird). So I will be away from Thursday to Monday (26-30), will be back Tuesday morning.
I did a first pass at the CLOUD landing page, some of you may have seen it on #convo-sanctum-v2.
I am talking to Shashvat, my PhD friend. He is interested in doing some freelance research work for us on MEV capture (the next step after we launch Gateway) -- I have to
Focus on understanding the product (Ironforge & Gateway) in preparation for telling the Sanctum V2 story.

What will I do next week?

Main priority is to craft Sanctum V2 narrative -- what is Sanctum V2, why "V2", what has changed and why? Why should anyone care? What is Sanctum's new mandate, if it's not "the infinite LST future"?
Prepare for Appworks interview
Finish up the CLOUD site
Sketch out how the main sanctum.so website would look like

Blockers?

@Alkine let me know what you want to work on, I will help you where I can. Also, don't forget to book a 1-1 with me on Wednesday.
@Italo have you given any thought about how MEV capture will work once we capture tx flow? Anything you think I should know/read about?
