On July 17th, Mable Jiang announced the creation of Trends, a social protocol anchored in value and dedicated to advancing the boundaries of information finance. Trends will initially serve as an on-chain curation layer for X (formerly Twitter), and will then expand to any open content such as TikTok, and ultimately grow into a social protocol collaboratively operated by internet capital. Each piece of content has its own curve, volatility, and breakout point; accounts that continuously produce or discover high-consensus content will accumulate on-chain reputation that is difficult to fake. Trends has received early support from many outstanding founders and angel investors, including: Anatoly Yakovenko, Lily Liu (Solana Foundation), Meow & Siong (Jupiter), Yu Hu (Kaito), Bryan Pellegrino (LayerZero), TN Lee (Pendle), Cindy Leow & David Lu (Drift), Alice & James Zhang (Jambo Technology), Zhuoxun Yin & Tiffany (Magic Eden), Tushar Jain (Multicoin), Jerry Huang, Yawn Rong & Shiti Maghani (FSL), Su Zhu, Nicolas (Bonk.fun), GM (Dragonfly), and Jason Kam (Folius Ventures). Mable also announced that her full-time work at FSL has come to an end, and she will continue to support the company as a consultant. [Odaily Planet Daily News]
