GORILLIONAIRE 🦍 // June wrap up

An update from the trenches.

June was a breakthrough month for Gorillionaire: we flew to NYC to join the Monad Foundry Program and take part in Uniswap Builder Week (more on that below, there's a surprise), improved our product based on the community feedback, and won at the ETHGlobal hackathon with a novel onchain Mini App.

It wasn’t always easy, we were evolving while everything was in motion. But moments like this remind me why we’re doing it.

We’re still in discovery mode, still iterating fast. But momentum is building, and the path ahead is clearer. Here’s what happened:

🗽 New York: Product Focus + Ecosystem Alignment

We were selected for Monad Foundry, an intense product acceleration sprint bringing together 44 top projects from around the world.

Along with Marco and Leonardo from the Gorilli team, we flew to NYC for a week of daily feedback loops, fast iterations, and no excuses. It was intense. We were pushed to the limit, rethinking the product from the ground up and challenged to ship fast.

One of the toughest and most productive weeks we’ve had, and a major leap forward for Gorillionaire. I’ve said several times that just that week saved us six months.

Uniswap Builder Week 🦄

After that, still in NYC, we joined the Permissionless hackathon in Brooklyn, continuing our experimentation with automated finance and sentiment-oriented trading. The week after, we joined Uniswap Builder Week, a program designed to support projects leveraging Uniswap and the new Uni v4 hooks.

During this time, we connected with the Uniswap Foundation, other DeFi builders, advisors, and investors, gaining valuable resources, technical guidance, and collaboration opportunities to accelerate Gorillionaire’s integration into the Uniswap and Unichain ecosystem.

Here’s the surprise: we secured a spot in the Uniswap Hook Product Accelerator 🦄. But that’s a story for another post.

🇫🇷 ETHCC & ETHGlobal Cannes

We wrapped the month in Cannes at ETHCC, where we connected with investors, partners, and other builders in the space.

Together with the team from Bloom, we participated in the ETHGlobal hackathon, where our project Nudge was selected as a Worldcoin mini app winner. Nudge is a Mini App that helps users automate DCA strategies and protect capital by leveraging real-time sentiment. A powerful example of what Gorillionaire and Bloom infrastructure can unlock.
Great work Charlie, Christian, Marco, and Roberta.

We’re still actively experimenting around automation and sentiment, continuously exploring new ways to enhance decentralized finance strategies.
