How does 300%-500% increase in outbound meetings sound?

Good right!

I know what it’s like to carry a quota.I’ve sat in the seat.

And I’ve felt the pressure of trying to hit targets with outreach that doesn’t cut through.

Now I coach AEs & BDRs inside at Tech and SaaS companies to change that.

I work with them over 90 days to install a LinkedIn outbound system that actually drives pipeline, built around a method we call the Human Connection Mechanism.

It’s not “just send more DMs”.

It’s a warm, structured approach to outbound that feels natural to send, and impossible to ignore.

Here’s what’s included:

✅ 1:1 and group coaching every week
✅ Done-for-you onboarding and setup
✅ Message reviews and voice note feedback
✅ Slack access for real-time support
✅ Custom video training
✅ Weekly reporting and AE-level accountability

This isn’t a course.

It’s a hands-on partnership to get your team booking qualified sales meetings fast.

Built by someone who’s been in their shoes.

Delivered with the kind of support I wish I had when I was an AE.

Currently helping scalable fintechs and enterprises build on blockchain at Tatum.My background sits at the intersection of traditional finance and Web3.Previously: Growth at Binance | Global Banking at BNP Paribas.Education: Law Degree.I focus on technical infrastructure, reducing development overhead, and helping CTOs navigate the shift from Web2 to Web3.Happy to discuss infrastructure strategy or connect with others building in the space.

Today marks my 1-year anniversary at Tatum.

Reflecting on my career, it feels like everything led here.

At the Bank, I learned that if money is involved, failure is not an option. Risk management is everything.

At the Exchange, I learned that if you move slow, you die. Innovation has an expiration date.

But for a long time, I felt like I had to choose one or the other. You were either a "Suit" or a "Degen."

Joining Tatum was the moment those two worlds clicked. We are building the infrastructure that allows Crypto Speed to run with Bank Precision.

The highlight of this year hasn't been a specific feature or a deal. It’s been the realization that the entire industry is finally converging on this middle ground. The "Suits" and the "Hoodies" are finally speaking the same language: Uptime.

Thank you team!

Helping Fintechs Scale on Blockchain @Tatum | Enterprise Infrastructure & Web3 Strategy

A $200/month node is the most expensive thing you can buy.

Your CFO sees a line item: "Infrastructure Provider: $200." They smile. "Good deal."

Here is the line item they don't see: "Senior Backend Engineer debugging sync issues: $150/hour." "Lead DevOps fixing rate limits on a Saturday: $200/hour." "User churn due to failed transactions: Priceless."

I see this constantly. 

Startups try to save money on the plumbing to extend their runway. But they end up burning their most valuable asset: Developer Focus.

If your best engineers are wrestling with nodes instead of building features, you aren't saving money. You are lighting it on fire.

Cheap infrastructure is just technical debt with a monthly subscription fee.

Pay for the abstraction. Buy back your engineers' time. It’s the highest ROI investment in the stack.

In about 5 hours, the traditional banking world turns off. SWIFT desks close. Wire transfers pause until Monday morning. The "Old World" goes to Happy Hour.

But for those of us building in PayFi (Payment Finance), the work is just starting. 

Stablecoin settlement volume actually spikes on weekends. Global commerce doesn't stop just because a bank in New York closed its doors.

This is the double-edged sword of Web3. The Feature: 24/7/365 Settlement. 
The Bug: 24/7/365 Anxiety for the Engineering Team.

You cannot run a "Always On" financial rail with "9-to-5" infrastructure. 

If your RPC nodes need manual restarting, you don't own a fintech app , you own a babysitting gig.

Make sure your "Weekend Infrastructure" (Auto-scaling, Failover, SuperNets) is ready. 

The money never sleeps. Neither should your uptime.

I've worked in one of the biggest banks in the world, and I've worked in on of the biggest exchanges. here's what I think:

We have entered the "Industrial Phase" of Web3.

With Institutions and ETFs fully integrated, the tolerance for "downtime" is now zero. You cannot tell a Fortune 500 company that their payment failed because "the node was syncing."

The next generation of unicorns won't be the "Reckless Cowboys" (pure speed). And they won't be the "Slow Giants" (pure bureaucracy).

They will be the Industrialists. The builders who can ship features before lunch, but run on infrastructure that never fails 

Speed is no longer an excuse for instability. And stability is no longer an excuse for slowness.

In 2021, a Web3 startup was considered "serious" if they ran their own nodes. In 2026, that is a red flag.

We are seeing a massive shift in how engineering teams operate.

Phase 1 (The Hobbyist Era): "We build everything ourselves. We want total sovereignty."

Phase 2 (The Enterprise Era): "We build the product. We outsource the plumbing."

You don't see Netflix building their own data centers. They use AWS. You don't see Uber building their own maps satellites. They use Google/TomTom.

Yet, I still talk to CTOs who are burning 30% of their engineering cycles maintaining RPC nodes and indexing raw blockchain data.

That isn't "sovereignty." That is inefficient capital allocation.

The mark of a mature Web3 company today isn't how deep their stack goes. It’s how much of the stack they have successfully abstracted away.

If your backend team is debugging Geth, you aren't shipping features. And if you aren't shipping features, you are losing to the competitor who is.

The stablecoin market cap just broke $300 Billion. It took us 10 years to get here. I predict it will take 18 months to hit $1 Trillion.

Why the acceleration? Because the "User" has changed.

From 2015-2024, the user was a Retail Trader. They held $1,000 in USDT to buy Bitcoin. In 2026, the user is an Institution. They are moving $100M in Tokenized Treasury Bills (RWAs) and settling in USDC.

When BlackRock and PayPal enter the chat, the decimals change.

We aren't just growing. We are graduating. The "Casino Phase" was fun. The "Monetary Base Phase" is going to be historic.

The "Casino Phase" is over. 2026 is defined by the Trinity of Utility:

Tokenization (Assets)
Stablecoins (Settlement)
Zero-Knowledge (Privacy)

Everyone talks about the upside of these three. Almost nobody talks about the load.

Tokenizing assets isn't a marketing game; it’s a throughput stress test. 

Global stablecoin rails aren't about hype; they are a latency stress test. 

ZK isn't about math; it’s an abstraction stress test.

These technologies are heavy. They will crush "hobbyist" infrastructure.

If you want to move institutional capital, you don't need a faster blockchain. You need a stronger spine.

Is your current stack ready for the weight?

I am in the business of selling silence.

When a user clicks "Buy," and the transaction goes through instantly…

nobody tweets about it. Nobody posts on LinkedIn: "Wow, the RPC node latency was exceptional today!"

Silence is the sound of success.

But when a transaction fails? When the wallet creates a spinning wheel of death? Then the noise starts. The Discords blow up. The support tickets pile up. The brand damage begins.

In 2021, Web3 was loud. The tech was experimental, so "downtime" was culturally accepted. 

In 2026, downtime is unacceptable.

We have moved from "Move fast and break things" to "Move fast and keep the lights on."

If you are an infrastructure provider or a DevOps engineer, your goal is to be invisible. You want your client’s users to think the app is magic, completely unaware of the heavy lifting happening in the backend.

If they notice the plumbing, you have failed.

True infrastructure maturity is realizing that dependency is a risk.


If your entire application relies on a single connection to the blockchain, you have created a single point of failure. I

f that connection stutters, your users see errors. Your revenue stops.

In 2026, the standard isn't "Loyalty" to one provider. It is Redundancy.

That is why we built the Gateway. It is an orchestration layer that sits above your node providers.

You can plug in any endpoint you want: ours, a third party's, or your own bare metal. We act as the traffic controller.

Connection A is slow? We route to Connection B.
Connection B is down? We route to the SuperNet.

Spamming duplicate requests? We cache them to save you money.

The goal isn't to replace your nodes. The goal is to make sure your application survives even when the nodes don't.

Build an Unbreakable App.

Everyone is talking about the Morgan Stanley filing. But they are looking at the roof. I want to look at the foundation.

Before a bank with $4 Trillion in assets puts their name on a Solana ETF, a thousand invisible boxes have to be checked.

It starts in the basement:

Custody: Can we store keys without a single point of failure?
Nodes: Can the RPC infrastructure handle institutional throughput without latency jitter?
Compliance: Can we track every satoshi back to a clean wallet?
Settlement: Can we guarantee finality in milliseconds, not minutes?

For years, we have been building this "boring" layer. We abstracted the nodes. We hardened the security. We stabilized the APIs.

The filing you see today is just the visible tip of that iceberg. It is the receipt for 5 years of infrastructure hardening.

Morgan Stanley didn't file because they like the asset. They filed because they finally trust the rails.

The plumbing is now stronger than the price action.

If you are still building on "hobbyist" nodes, you are building for a market that no longer exists. The institutions are here. And they brought their own standards.

I have sold enterprise deals to Fortune 500 companies and Government entities. I have sold infrastructure to Web3 protocols.

The most surprising thing about selling to Web3 in 2026:

They are starting to sound like the S&P 500. But they still move like a startup.

Five years ago, these were two different galaxies.

The S&P 500 asked: "Where is your SOC 2 Type 2?" "Can we review your liability insurance?" "Let's schedule a follow-up for next quarter."

The Web3 Founders asked: "Is the API compatible?" "Can we ship this on Friday?" "LFG."

Today, these two worlds are converging. But they aren't the same.

The Web3 companies have adopted the standards of the enterprise. They now have General Counsels, Risk Committees, and compliance requirements. They stopped being reckless.

But they haven't lost their speed.

While a bank is still planning the "Committee meeting to plan the meeting," the Web3 protocol has already shipped the feature—just with better guardrails this time.

That is the sweet spot of 2026.

We aren't seeing Web3 slow down to become "Corporate." We are seeing Web3 put on a seatbelt so it can go even faster without crashing.

The "Suits" bring the Safety. The "Builders" bring the Velocity.

The winners of this cycle are the ones who can speak both languages. They use infrastructure that is safe enough for the Boardroom, but fast enough for the Discord.

The best infrastructure feature isn't "Speed." It's "Silence."

It’s Friday afternoon. For a CTO or Lead Dev, there are two ways to spend the weekend:

The "Anxious" Way: Checking Discord every hour to see if the RPC provider is down, or if the indexer is lagging.

The "Silent" Way: Knowing that if a node fails, your system will automatically reroute the traffic to a healthy one.

We talk a lot about TPS (Transactions Per Second) in this industry. But we don't talk enough about Sleep Per Night.

That is why we built the Tatum Gateway as an orchestration layer. It sits above your providers. It handles the failover. It manages the chaos so you don't have to.

We believe "Redundancy" is the ultimate luxury.

Enjoy your weekend. Let the infrastructure do the work.

The hardest stage for a Web3 company isn't Day 1. And it isn't IPO. It is the Growth Stage.


You are too big for the "Free Tier." But you aren't quite ready to lock into a massive, multi-year static contract.

You are in the middle of the S-Curve. You need power, but you also need agility.

We built this specifically for you.

We are on the lookout for the builders who are breaking out. The ones seeing their traffic double week-over-week. We realized you shouldn't have to pause your growth to negotiate a contract.

So we unlocked the Growth Slider.

You can now provision up to 80,000,000 credits/month instantly. It gives you Enterprise-grade capacity with Startup-grade flexibility.

-Need to scale for a product launch? Slide it up.
-Need to stabilize? We are here for that too.
-Ready for a yearly commitment? We can lock in the savings later.

Our goal is to support you through the volatility, not penalize you for it.

If you are in that high-growth phase, we’ve got the rails ready. Slide the bar. Let’s grow.

Seeing J.P. Morgan move to Solana and BNY Mellon launch tokenized equities on Ethereum, all in the last couple of weeks. 

The Pilot Era is officially dead. 

2026 is about Production Infrastructure.

The gap between $19 Billion and $11 Trillion is an engineering problem.

The latest projections estimate the tokenized asset market will reach $11 Trillion by 2030. Today, we sit at roughly $18.9 Billion.

While the 208% YoY growth is impressive, we need to be realistic about the infrastructure implications of an $11T on-chain economy.

To handle that magnitude of value:

-Finality needs to be instant, not probabilistic.
-Indexing needs to be real-time, not eventually consistent.
-RPC Uptime needs to be 99.999%, matching traditional payment rails.

We are currently transitioning from "Pilot Scale" to "Industrial Scale." Most current infrastructure setups, often reliant on single-node providers or polling architectures, will not survive the transition.

The capital is ready to move on-chain. 

The question is whether our rails are strong enough to carry it.

I keep seeing this projection that Tokenized Assets will hit $11 Trillion by 2030.

I don’t think people realize how much weight that is.

Right now, we are at ~$19B. Even at this "small" scale, I see teams struggling every week with RPC limits, indexer lag, and missed blocks.

Now imagine multiplying the traffic by 500x.

If we tried to run an $11T economy on today’s infrastructure, the system wouldn't just slow down. It would break. We are trying to push an ocean through a garden hose.

The growth is coming. The demand is there. 

But unless we get serious about industrial-grade plumbing (redundancy, caching, failover), we aren't going to be ready for it.

The $11T number isn't a target. It's a deadline.
