Distribution is work in the most literal sense. In physics, work is force applied over distance. In startups, distribution is a sustained effort applied across social distance. Conversations, travel, user interviews, channel building, follow-ups, community presence, answering the same question for the tenth time. None of this is cosmetic. It moves the system.

The early days of the month brought clarity, learning, and movement, and today feels like the reward for showing up consistently. Energy is light, but focused. The kind of mood that makes it easier to trust the direction things are heading. Today’s mindful moment is part four of the same five-part lesson, and it centers on getting excited — but n...

Why Security Starts With Design, Not User Behavior? As Web3 adoption grows, wallets have become the primary gateway to on-chain activity. Yet despite years of innovation, most mainstream wallets still rely on a fragile security assumption: Users must protect their private keys perfectly. Pulse takes a fundamentally different approach. Rather than asking users to manage cryptographic secrets, Pulse is designed around modern security standards, device-level protection, and smart wallet architectu.
