Traditional loyalty points aren't money. They live in a brand's database, and you borrow them back.
What if you earned actual stablecoins instead? Yours. Globally. Instantly.
Not a patch on the existing model. A rewrite.

All in content.subvisual.com
6/ We welcomed two new apprentices this month, Sara and Nuno. The team keeps growing!
5/ We're joining Guardian Labs EU as a development, investor, and venture partner. Guardião protects Portuguese families from phone scams and fraudulent SMS. Proud to be building this one.
4/ We rebuilt subvisual.com. Two paths, one team: Product Studio for focused collaborations, Venture Studio for founders building the whole thing.
2/ Starbase went international for the first time. London with Encode Club. Braga Blockchain: Igor Sol, Luís Freitas, and Peter Keay on Solana. Marmela brought Braga BEAM #8 to our office, with António Silva, on the MCP servers in Phoenix.
1/ Here's what happened at Subvisual in March 🧵
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Braga BEAM #8 last week! 🚀
Great turnout, great talk. It was great hearing António Silva walk through how Remote built MCP servers in Phoenix.
Thanks to the Marmela team for organizing, and everyone who showed up.
Until next time 👋

3/To get any compliance at all, you need surveillance. Receipts. Justifications. Nobody likes being watched. But that's the only tool we have today. There's a better model.
We walk through a better model in ep. 3 of the Stability Series 👇

2/ Enforcement costs billions. Feedback arrives weeks late, after the learning moment has passed. No expense reports, just full control and hope, or elaborate bureaucracy. No middle ground.
1/ Every time you give someone money with expectations attached, you're fighting a system that was never designed for this. Five problems, and none of them are edge cases. 🧵
We're sponsoring ElixirConf EU 2026 and giving away 2 free tickets to students.
José Valim. Chris McCord. 40+ talks. Málaga, April 23-24.
All you need: a student email + a GitHub project with Elixir code.

Deadline: April 5. Winners announced April 6.
"Why not just reward customers with Bitcoin?"
Because you can't build loyalty on volatility.
Customer earns $100 in ETH. Three weeks later: worth $73.
Stablecoins fix this. 100 USDC = $100, always.
How to build it: buff.ly/edtyey0

You can give someone money. Or you can do it with rules built in that enforce themselves, without anyone watching over anyone's shoulder. Right now, those are two different things. We want to change that.

3/ No templates. No fixed terms.
subvisual.com
2/ Product Studio: design-only, embedded, or full build. The shape changes. The bar doesn't.
Venture Studio: co-build the product and the company. Terms adapt to what moves you fastest.
1/ Every project is different. The team isn't.
Two paths: Product Studio and Venture Studio. Same senior team.
2/ Same platform, different roles, different interface.
Next step: AI-driven interfaces that proactively surface critical info.
Full piece: buff.ly/8XCQ2OQ
1/ Finance, Operations, and Management all need different things from the same financial data.
Static dashboards create overload for some, gaps for others.
Megan designed Elo with dynamic workflows: interfaces that adapt to who you are👇
BBUG #8 is this Thursday.
António Silva (Remote) on MCP servers in Phoenix, the real production version.
Food & drinks at Subvisual, Braga. Free.
