Thank you Blockworks for hosting! It was really great talking with Felipe Montealegre (IFS), Dan Smith, & Jake Chervinsky about issues so important to us at decent ICYMI sign up for Blockwork's newsletter to get full access to the recording of our roundtable: blockworks.co/roundtable/bec…

The first crypto project I ever built was a little hackathon app called Denari. The idea was simple: if you could donate Bitcoin and trace exactly where your money went, more people would give to charity. We believed transparency would change behavior. That's not exactly what

Token launches are broken, and you might have just missed the most important conversation about it. Jake Chervinsky, Felipe Montealegre (IFS), Dan Smith, and parker mccurley talked about why bad actors are launching tokens right now, and what to do about it. So, we summarized it for youšŸ¤

Imagine telling a SaaS company they could take cash and ownership from their users (and that doing so would be seamless, programmable, and efficient). Every founder would leap at the opportunity, but most can’t, because it’s borderline illegal. The overhead of issuing equity is

US completely whiffed on the opportunity to lead the global crypto revolution. Instead of building the best tools, funding the best teams, and protecting users without stifling builders. we created a system where the ā€œlegal best practiceā€ was to set up shop offshore, hire

We’ve barely scratched the surface of what tokens can do, because it’s been legally dangerous to try. If a US team launches a token that actually accrues value, it’s automatically classified as a security. That’s why at Decent we're working to make the legal structure for

If you want to know what not to do when building a new market, look at the cannabis industry. In state after state, governments handed out a small number of expensive licenses to already-wealthy operators, locking out the people who needed the opportunity most. Crypto is at risk

There’s a token I’ve been dreaming about for a long time... It accrues real value, is built by a U.S. team, is NOT a securit, is legal, transparent, accountable, programmable, and it lets everyday people benefit. With clear regulation, strong disclosure frameworks, and a new

Running a startup is already hard. Now imagine doing it while constantly wondering: Is what I’m building even legal? That’s what it’s felt like to be a crypto founder in the U.S. for the past few years. Every product decision, roadmap update, and investor conversation feels set

For years, the best legal advice for U.S. crypto founders was: go offshore, and hope for the best. That’s not leadership. We need legal structures that let Americans build in the open, own what they create. That’s decent

If you’re here to build something real that lasts, you’re going to need more than hype and hope. You’re going to need solid legal infrastructure that doesn’t collapse under pressure. We’ve got you

Launching your first token changes your entire relationship with your users, turning them into owners, operators, and, importantly, vocal critics. Launching means letting go of control in exchange for momentum. It’s a powerful trade-off, but if you’re not building something that
