A week has passed since @atumhq launched. The moment has been special, yet it's only the first of many more to come.
We have been flooded with payments, partner requests, and direct requests from enterprises and the developer community. We are thrilled with everyone’s participation 🙏
You all will shape what we build next. I want to hear from you:
- what topic are you most curious to learn more about?
- where are you blocked while onboarding?
- what would you build on Atum first?
This is the fun part. We do it together.
Check out the docs: docs.atum.xyz/
The intentionality here just oozes through the entire way this launch is done.
Intentional date.
Intentional rollout.
To me, this is the way crypto touches mainstream:
When you don't even know it's there. 👀
Happy launch day to @atumhq!
This is how we make cross-border payments cheaper and more accessible.
This is how we make the guy working for DoorDash in Malaysia not have to pay fees each time he or she is paid out.
Atum gives a framework we can all build on top of to create a better payments system.
Welcome to Atum.
That’s what we tell every new partner when they first touch the network. And now we’re saying it to you.
Because today, @atumhq, the open payments network, a first of its kind, is live.
We picked the date intentionally. Today, September 22, marks the autumnal equinox (in the northern hemisphere), a threshold through which the world passes, from one season into another. Atum occupies a similar boundary: between light and darkness, chaos and order, ending and renewal. Atum, as a platform, is positioned at the transition from closed, institution-specific payment systems to an open, programmable network.
Atum is also the creator god symbol in ancient Egypt. Atum is the first, the primordial, and the originating god of creation.
Atum provides the basic building blocks for payments and commerce - the infrastructure, tooling, products and services that make money move the way it ought to.
Our team is comprised of leading payments and onchain experts from companies like @Visa, @coinbase, @chainlink, @CashApp, @tempo, and more.
It’s a new world for payments and commerce.
And it is my ultimate pleasure, passion, and life’s purpose to introduce Atum, the open payments network. We are so glad you’re here.

Knowledge is no longer an edge.
Context and steering the ship reign supreme.
I'm just going to say it. "Coding" was always my least favorite part of software engineering.
Software engineering was more interesting in the design aspect. Making it secure. Making it efficient. Making it intuitive. Making it scaleable. Making something people want to use.
None of the interesting parts of software engineering go away because the clankers can do the code monkeying.
Losing it to AI is like complaining that homebuilding is over because there's no need to hammer nails anymore.
The software daylaborers probably need to retool. AI can make an attractive facade, but there's still plenty of work to do once the frame is built.
So apparently someone hacked my Twitter account, launched a fake coin under my name, and went as far as creating a whole fake documentation website for the fake project coin.
SIM swap attacks are the easiest way to take over a Twitter account, and thus I'll be removing SMS verification so this doesn't happen again.
Hopefully no one got seriously impacted by said scam coin and thus can move on with their life :)
警惕Pons上的诈骗币吧，行情好了，盘总又来开盘子了
刚FOMO上到榜1的Verdant，先是简介挂了dev是 @alphaK3Y 吸引了一波的拉升最高到800k，后面直接清仓连带着删推跑路
然后直接归0，我吃回头草也被割了
无碍RH链和pons的发展，但是现在玩币，特别是还没认领的得多留个心眼了！
AI trains us for dependence on intelligence
now more than ever you can benefit from writing for 5 minutes each morning
honestly the best way to claim back your sense of individuality and discover who you really are
same as what the internet did to millennials frfr
hot take:
openclaw sucks when you need to make surgical code fixes
cursor is much better for this use case by default
literally found myself dumping openclaw for cursor when i'm not mass pumping out PRs
gone for 7 hours
plenty of work queued up
my process is:
1. audit for findings
2. prompt for fixes
3. queue it up to build PR
4. review PR & assess risks
5. merge if ready

I’ve been through dark times and personal struggles in my life. and as corny as it sounds, this manga panel from hajime no ippo literally saved my life by making me realize how loved i am, and it has continued to inspire within me the will to fight on.

btw smart contracts can serve prompt injections
ofc name(), symbol(), etc
but also from behind arbitrary calls if the llm doesn't spec the return type in the cast call :3
---
if an llm runs this against the contract below:
cast call <addr> "owner()(address)"
it'll get `0x20`
---
but if an llm runs this against it:
cast call <addr> "owner()"
it'll get an opaque byte string, which an llm will recognize as a potential string and attempt to decode it
PSA for LLM enjoyoors
Claude was asked to generate 50 "random" passwords.
Results: only 30 unique. The most common one repeated 18 times (36% probability vs expected 2^-100). All start with uppercase letter + 7. Zero repeating characters within any password.
LLMs literally cannot do randomness. Do not ask them for passwords.
