The title of last weeks newsletter was “Why I Think This Dip Is Just an Intermission, Not The Music Stopping” and here we are breaking to new yearly highs on BTC, SOL, ETH, and more.
The coins are absolutely flying, the boys in TG are losing their minds, and everyone’s having fun.
We are now officially drunk. No, no we are not wasted yet, but boy we’ve had enough tequila shots should we want to walk home tonight in any sort of capacity. With the upcoming ETF passing (next round of hard liquor), it may be tough for many of us to think straight.
Yep, thats right. We are about to get REALLY f*cked up.
Strap in, anon and please do me a favor, mind your leverage, mind your risk, and be a smart ape.
Lets have some fun today 👇

Hot Deals Now
This is a new section I’ve decided would be a great addition to the newsletter because I often have founders who are raising in close contact with me, some deals I ape, some I pass.
Here’s how this works:
I’m going to list out the deals that I have access to along with the public info available. I’ll explain my thoughts on the deal, and sometimes may or may not invest in them myself.
In my private agenda, I’ll share the deals which I entered and why. Also, paid subs will have priority for these deals alongside myself. No we will not do anything together, but if you want in it’s highly likely I can make it happen if I invest as well.
Regardless of subscription status, my personal goal is to democratize access to opportunities for smaller capital & help founders raise more capital, consistently.
Today’s deal flow begins with several quality projects:
Synonym Finance: Synonym is utilizing wormhole to become a REAL cross-chain (or omnichain) money market where users can deposit on one chain and borrow on the other. Users can source liquidity from all the ‘buckets’ within Synonym. Right now the testnet is live, and there will be retroactive rewards for those who aren’t sybilling it. They are looking for some funds/angels if I’m not mistaken.
Swell Network: Swell is one of the biggest LSTs in the market right now, sitting at over $100M. They have raised from some of the biggest angels in crypto and have the backing of Ethereum OGs like Sassano. They have already proven PMF in the space and appear to be a clear leader amongst Lido, RocketPool, Diva, and another teams.
Mode Network: Mode is led by James Ross (link) and he is building a general purpose L2 based on the OP Stack. The “collective co-op” is aiming to share sequencer fees, and offer interesting developer incentives. They are live on testnet now, as well as developer mainnet. They will likely receive a fair amount of support from Optimism. They will launch mainnet in Q4 or early Q1.
Primex Finance: Primex has raised in 2021 at $40M val from GSR and others, and is now looking to do another round in Q1 as they gear up for cross-chain deployments and likely token sometime in 2024. They have launched on Polygon already and you may have seen them in this newsletter from time to time.
Zoth.io: Zoth is a on-chain marketplace which brings fixed income opportunities, offering high yield from RWAs. They are in the middle of their fundraise round, and have about 2M in commit for the 2.5M seed round with Stellar matching fund, BFF, M6 ventures, Huma Finance as sponsors.
Mon Studios: Building a really cool gaming hub on Avalanche. Valuation is 9M, TGE probably Q1-Q2 2024. Have tons of unique angles and already active gaming ecosystem. If you haven’t looked into gameFi this could be interesting.

Disclaimer: Nothing in this section should be construed as investment advice, financial advice, legal advice, or tax advice. I am not a financial advisor. Investing in early-stage crypto projects is one of the highest risk profiles in the entire world. I, nor The Rollup team, will be entering any deal with you. There may be deals I do without putting them here. There may be deals I don’t do which I put here. I am choosing to do this to help projects and capital allocators connect. If you do invest in one of these projects, I may earn a referral fee or commission. You are responsible for your capital allocations and if you do commit in a round, I am not liable for the success or failure of any given project. Good luck, anon.
