Good projects still get buried without the right communications behind them. @EAK_Digital joins The Best Event: AFTERDARK Singapore as our Signature Partner. EAK Digital is an award-winning global Web3 communications and marketing agency specializing in strategic communications, public relations, influencer marketing, brand development, and live experiences. They are also the creators of @IstanbulBlockWk and @BlockDownFest. For founders and brands in the room trying to build lasting credibility rather than a single news cycle, that full-stack approach to communications is worth paying attention to. It's the kind of partner an event like this needs at its core. Catch the team at The Best Event: AFTERDARK Singapore and see how they think about building web3 brands that last.

Next week I'm flying to Bali for @CoinfestAsia 🇮🇩 The start of the Asia conference season. People assume a bear market empties the room. In my experience, it does the opposite. It clears out the noise and leaves the ones who are still here, still building. Those are the conversations worth flying for. AI is moving at a pace I haven't seen before. Crypto feels close to turning the corner. The quiet part is almost over. I'll be sharing more about what we are building across @BlockDownConf, @IstanbulBlockWk, and @EAK_Digital while I'm there. If you're in Bali, drop me a DM or come say hello. 🌴

We're thrilled to announce that Perceptron has closed a $6.5M strategic round. Centralized scraping is hitting diminishing returns on cost and quality. Closed data partnerships are out of reach for most AI teams. The real bottleneck for AI right now sits at the data layer. Perceptron compresses global data collection into one mesh: idle bandwidth, unique datasets, and domain expertise from a network already live across 800K+ nodes in 150+ countries, with 300K+ daily active contributors. This round funds our data-questing platform, letting AI companies commission specific, high-value datasets directly from that network and cutting the timeline from request to delivered dataset down to days. The network continues to expand. Join us. → perceptrons.xyz
