This is what alignment looks like.
-No Equity
-Exec/Team upside tied to KMNO
-Investors hold same token as the community
-All revenue & IP owned by the foundation
Disc: Reciprocal is an investor in Kamino, holds KMNO, and may buy or sell at anytime. Nfa

Today, I’m sharing my first letter to the KMNO community as CEOView quoted post on X
Since joining @kamino , I’ve been asked a version of the same question by longtime KMNO holders and people getting to know us for the first time. As Kamino grows, where does the value we create go?
It’s a fair question, particularly as we work to bring Kamino into banks, brokerages and wallets, through which our goal is to allow millions of people to earn on their capital or borrow against assets they already own.
The answer starts with how Kamino was built. The Kamino Foundation owns the intellectual property and receives all revenue, including revenue from institutional partnerships. KMNO is the only token. The founders, our investors, the team and I have our upside tied to the same token our community holds. None of us has a separate equity allocation.
What we do with the revenue matters, too. We’re committing at least $20 million over the next two years to expand the assets people can use on Kamino, and bring Kamino's credit and liquidity infrastructure to more of the platforms consumers already use today.
I wrote my first letter to KMNO holders to put those decisions on the record. I also share why I chose to make most of my own KMNO allocation vest only when it reaches and sustains a series of valuation milestones.
One Kamino. One KMNO.

What stood out most about @crshmarket was that they started by entertaining live audiences.
They hosted live shows on college campuses, then built technology to amplify the attendee experience, iterating toward prediction markets for livestreaming.
Excited to back @Evanrrama and @parampatel to bring CRSH to the masses!

CRSHMARKET has raised a $3.5M Seed round to build the first livestream prediction market.View quoted post on X
This round was led by @6thManVentures , with participation from @recvcx, @lattice_fund, and @startinglinevc.
We’re building a new way to interact with live content, where anyone can predict what happens next with 60 second settlements.
When I met Nikhil and Jesse, they just left Celo to start @0xPredicate. They saw early that onchain payments and RWAs would only scale if compliance was enforced at the contract level.
Three yrs later, RWAs (ex-stablecoins) have grown 15x from ~$2.5B to ~$39B, and Predicate is serving companies like MoneyGram, Paxos Labs, and MetaMask.
Proud to have backed them from day one!

We are thrilled to announce our $8M Series A to connect regulated markets to onchain finance.View quoted post on X
Predicate enables digital assets to reach every market compliantly. We do this by embedding compliance controls directly into digital assets to block high-risk and sanctioned activity at every transaction.
To date, Predicate has:
- Screened $1B+ in transaction volume
- Evaluated 6M+ transactions against custom compliance policies
- Blocked 100K+ non-compliant transactions
The round was led by @bcap with participation from @Paxos, @1kxnetwork and @tribecap.
