1/ A new blockchain network in 2025 needs to either optimize for a particular application or expand the adjacent possible. Most new blockchains have focused on optimizing for speed; faster block times, higher TPS. That is no longer the bottleneck. @RialoHQ is focused on a complete suite of infra for building apps that speak to the outside world.

2/ today’s crypto applications are designed around minimizing expensive+fragile data streams. Rialo bakes essential infra directly into the network. Native web calls. Seamless access to web2 APIs. Apps can now seamlessly stream data and use it to trigger certain onchain actions, allowing devs to experiment with entirely real-time, data-driven apps.

3/ imagine: - Crypto apps that can interact with likes, replies, etc on web2 social platforms in real time. - Crypto x AI copilots - agents for onchain investing that can seamlessly pull data from the web. - RWA applications that respond to real time economic data (revenues, dividends, prices, etc)

4/ the team at Subzero Labs is extremely impressive; founders @itachee_x and @firearrowlu were early engineers at Mysten Labs, where they helped architect and ship Sui. They’ve recruited an incredibly strong and technical team to boot.

5/ excited to partner with Subzero at @variantfund as they bring Rialo to life.
