“Versatile”Batıkan is one of those rare, multifaceted individuals; I know this not only from our conversations about Web3, but also from our discussions about economic policies and wars. Last year, in December 2024, he gave me a copy of Professor Friedrich August von Hayek's book, originally titled "Denationalisation of Money: The Argument Refined." I was new to the market at the time, and thanks to this book, I learned about the motivations and fundamental ideas behind cryptocurrencies.

“Invincible Viking”I first met Meriç at the Moda Palas events. Then we started running into each other at hackathons. When she won first place at HackPera in June, I was just as happy as she was. After that, we competed separately in many other hackathons like ETHİstanbul and Algorand. When I came in second at Algorand, she was the first one I hugged. After Algorand, we participated together in the Wagmithon hackathon organized by Paribu Hub, Linea, and Inverter Network, and it was a lot of fun. We did freestyle rapped night, coding at night, ate pizza, and wrote a lot of code. It was an unforgettable experience for me. She became my mentor at the 21 Challenge event organized by Sui. She currently lives in Izmir. I feel very lucky to have met Meriç.

“Crypto man”I've known Volkan for a while now. Since 2017, they've been running an event called Crypto Friday, where they do cryptocurrency analysis every Friday. Honestly, I attended their events for quite a while, and they really do quality work.

“Knowledgeable friend”I met him yesterday at the Monad Hackathon. Frankly, he's knowledgeable about Web3 and generally a fun and polite person.

“Initiative worth trying”I first heard about this project when they announced their funding round. While I was working on my own thing not long ago, I got curious and decided to dig a little deeper. I haven’t used it in production yet, but honestly, it looks pretty interesting. So, what’s Hyperbolic all about? They’re building a distributed GPU cloud—basically a way for developers to run AI workloads, especially open-source models, without having to lean on the big guys like OpenAI’s APIs or AWS. It’s a different take compared to projects like Grass. Grass just taps into your internet bandwidth to gather data, but Hyperbolic is all about real compute power. They pool together GPU capacity and make it available to developers who need to run inference or training jobs at a lower cost. This setup means you can run open-source models—think computer vision, LLM inference, or anything else that eats up GPU—on external hardware, instead of managing pricey servers yourself. If you’re an indie dev or a small team building a mobile app that needs some serious processing muscle, but you don’t have a big budget, this could be a smart option. Investors like Polychain Capital and a few other venture funds have already backed the project, so there’s some real interest here. Of course, getting funding is only the first step. The real test is whether developers actually start using it. All in all, the idea of a distributed AI compute marketplace is pretty compelling. Whether Hyperbolic can pull it off and become a true alternative to the usual AI infrastructure depends on stuff like reliability, pricing, and how smooth it is for developers to jump in and get started.
