I remember when we celebrated $100K all time volume. We're now doing over $130K in a single day. 47 live markets. Less than 0.1% of what's on Polymarket. Market listing is operationally intensive because it's the first line of defense for the vault, and we're working to automate it. 325 traders fully onboarded. 50% came through other traders inviting them with their own invite codes. Community grew from ~500 to 1,020 members. All of this with no paid acquisition and still in private beta . All of this shows that traders want leverage on prediction markets, and we've made that possible on @Polymarket today. Lots of new product features and improvements coming in April. We're not slowing down.🔥 Grateful for the traders, community, and team that got us here. Data source: Polymarket's Official Builder Leaderboard

Listening to this podcast on Spotify with Reid Hoffman and Steven, I just remembered why my thoughts on university* changed especially for those from Nigeria who’s already playing life on 10x harder mode.👇🏽👇🏽 4 years ago, I'd tell every Nigerian: "Drop out, school is useless." Today? My perspective has completely shifted. It's not about whether universities are scams. It's about maximizing your luck surface area. Think about football: A talented player born in Manchester has a vastly higher chance of making it to the Premier League than an equally talented player born in Lagos. Same talent. Different luck surface area. When I dropped out of school, I didn’t have a plan B but to make it, not make it in the Nigerian context, but to be so good at whatever I was doing that I’m able to compete globally. I had to work 10x harder than my peers who had natural access to fast internet, 24hrs electricity, the absolute best education you can think of, the right networks, and opportunities. Reid Hoffman nailed this in the podcast: "Any great achievement also has luck, right? And I can point it at any companies, I can point it at any individuals... one of the basic luck is like I had exposure and connection to Silicon Valley." I didn't have that exposure. So I had to create it through sheer force/grit and 100x effort. Naval said it best: "Where you live in your 20s will be one of the three most crucial decisions in your life." Your zip code = your opportunity set. Your network = your net worth. Your environment = your ceiling. Don't just follow your passion. Follow your passion to where the ecosystems, connections, and "accidental" opportunities live. Sometimes staying in school isn't about the education - it's about buying time to position yourself where luck can find you. The easiest way to relocate out of Nigeria today is through school, so be the best and get a scholarship to study in the best universities. I can count the number of people that dropped out of a school in Nigeria, at my age, and operating at my level today. So the minute you leave school, it gets harder, your luck surface areas reduces and your chances of success goes down.

As a builder, you're more likely to get into "pivot hell" –– A place where you jump from idea to idea. It's even worse when you build in public because people are watching you in real-time, which can be embarrassing. Don't be ashamed, it's completely normal and you're likely to find something that sticks through this process of exploration and iteration. Keep building and stay based.💙
