Loyalty programs reward brands more than customers. $200B+ in unredeemed points. 30% breakage. Geographic locks. Arbitrary devaluation. João Zamith wrote about how stablecoins fix this, and what it takes to build it. Read the full article: buff.ly/8gU20jF

We just launched our new website! 🚀 We build products and the companies behind them. Now with two clear paths: Product or Venture Studio. The work hasn't changed. We've been doing this for over a decade. Same senior team. Now it's clearer which path fits your needs. 👀 Take a look: subvisual.com

$200B in loyalty points exist globally. Most will never be redeemed. Geographic locks, expiration, zero transferability, rules that change overnight aren't bugs, they're features. In this clip, we explain the four structural problems. Watch the full episode: buff.ly/UXkiMPF

The settlement layer: invisible backend infrastructure that makes stablecoin loyalty work. Multi-brand coordination, automated rewards, cross-chain settlement, and compliance. Programmable plumbing. Not glamorous. Essential. From Stability Series Episode 2: buff.ly/Tcv5Toc

🌟 Starbase is going international 📅 March 11, 9:30-18:00 GMT 📍 Encode Hub, London First landing outside Portugal. Full-day open office for builders. RSVP: luma.com/zobkbey5

Stablecoins now account for half of Visa's transaction volume. A16Z filtered out bots, wash trading, arbitrage, and MEV activity to get real usage numbers. A couple of years ago, this would have felt like a fantasy. Now it's reality. Full video: buff.ly/mSLBk82 #Stablecoins #Web3 #Crypto

Stablecoins could fix loyalty programs: borderless rewards, real value (not points that expire), liquid & transferable, composable across brands. The tech exists. UX, regulation, and brand incentives are the blockers. buff.ly/bySY9Rd

Your loyalty points aren't really yours. They expire, lose value, get locked by geography, and disappear at the brand's discretion. 200+ billion in unredeemed points. What if loyalty cards ran on stablecoins? Watch the full episode: buff.ly/E3amQt1 #LoyaltyPrograms #Stablecoins #RewardCards

We're hiring a full stack dev. You'll work on products we care about in web3 and fintech, using Phoenix, Rails, and modern frontend frameworks. TypeScript frontend + your backend language of choice. Apply: buff.ly/HfTma4t

What would you build if you didn't have to copy what came before? With programmable money: instant payouts, keep more earnings, global collaboration, and cross-platform portability. Not decentralization for its own sake. Sovereignty, stability, choice. From Stability Series Ep 1: buff.ly/oMud934

1/ Most startups don't have a moat when they start. They can't. Network effects require users. Scale requires scale. Deep knowledge requires time. So what protects you in those early days?

Your assignment: Creators: What's your ideal platform? Developers: What would you build if payments weren't the bottleneck? The tools are here. The pipes are in place. Let's build the next chapter together. buff.ly/oMud934

Don't have all the requirements? Apply anyway. No Web3 experience? Fine. Never worked remotely? We'll help. Know 3/5 technologies? Good enough. We need: curiosity + solid fundamentals Full stack role (TypeScript + backend): jobs.subvisual.com/full-stack-d... #hiring #devjobs

1/ In the latest edition of Braga Blockchain, João Moreira, José Pedro Sousa, and Tiago Martins joined Roberto Machado for a conversation about what we can expect from web3 in 2026.

1/ MiCA vs GENIUS Act: How the two major frameworks compare. Both codified stablecoin regulation, but they diverge in ways that matter for global operations. 🧵

1/ Most founders obsess over building something that works. They forget to consider what would stop someone else from building the exact same thing. Here are the 4 structural sources of competitive advantage every founder should know:

Full stack dev role perks: → Unlimited vacation (real) → Health insurance → Learning budget → Regular salary reviews → Actual autonomy → Remote EU or Portugal office TypeScript + backend (Elixir/Ruby/Go) jobs.subvisual.com/full-stack-d... #hiring #remotejobs

Meet Bruno Roque, our new Product Design apprentice. An Archviz Artist focusing on Product Design, Bruno brings a solid foundation in design methodologies and structured thinking. He's driven by creating user-centred digital solutions and values collaboration, empathy, and clarity. Welcome aboard!

1/ You've built something that works. Revenue is growing. Users are active. Then someone shows up doing the same thing, but backed by $50M. This moment decides whether your company becomes something real.

1/ The GENIUS Act timeline is tight. Goes live: Jan 2027 By July 2028: Only GENIUS-compliant stablecoins allowed Timing counts. 🧵

Same engine. Different everything else. Álvaro Bezerra (PM): "Although the engine is the same, the UI (...), everything was different. We had to question that". Context changes everything, even when the foundation doesn't. Watch the interview: buff.ly/hcL1wFS Read the case study: buff.ly/QlNtLnp

1/ The GENIUS Act's requirements for US stablecoin issuers: USD-only, 1:1 reserves, no rehypothecation, clear redemption, audits based on size, no yield, Bank Secrecy Act compliance. Monthly disclosure with third-party attestation.

Two ecosystems and brands. One design system. The best designs learn from what came before. Joana Gomes on Quill/Orki: "I could look at Quill and understand what I thought should be improved and apply them directly on Orki." Watch the interview: buff.ly/CVgeArh Read the case study: buff.ly/QlNtLnp

We run RubyConf PT, Alchemy Conf, and local meetups. Build OSS like ethui. The dev we hire gets: → Budget for learning & events → Time for open source → Space to share your work We want you to grow, not just ship tickets. Full stack role (remote EU): buff.ly/FR5GssI #hiring #opensource

1/ The GENIUS Act gives you two options: federal or state. The choice matters. 🧵

1/ ethui just released one-click testnets for Web3 developers. Testnet struggle: gas fees, limited interoperability, slow feedback loops. Our team built ethui out of frustration. Now: ethui Stacks.

Remote since before it was trendy. Work from anywhere in Europe. No surveillance culture. Async communication. Lisbon TZ preferred, but flexible. Hiring: Full Stack Developer Stack: TypeScript + Elixir/Ruby/Go/Python Apply: buff.ly/iMCfkQG #remotejobs #hiring

Why rebuild when you can reuse? Miguel Palhas on shipping faster: ”The same people that worked on Quill migrated to Orki and so they had already that same knowledge up front.” Build faster with what you've already learned. Watch the interview: buff.ly/aH1LTIq Read the case study: buff.ly/sOPzfxj

1/ If you're marketing to EU users, MiCA applies to you—even if your company is somewhere else. 🧵

1/ The GENIUS Act ends years of regulatory uncertainty in the US. Signed July 18, 2025. America's first federal stablecoin framework. Goes live Jan 2027. By July 2028, only GENIUS-compliant stablecoins will be allowed.

What you'll build as our next full stack dev: → Products we care about → Open-source tools → Web3 and fintech projects Stack: TypeScript, Elixir/Ruby/Go, Phoenix/Rails You don't need Web3 experience, just curiosity. Apply: jobs.subvisual.com/full-stack-d... #hiring #web3jobs #devjobs
