What’s up Outpost Fam!

Quick update on Onchain Outpost! We have listened to your feedback and have made the decision to transition from our daily cadence to a more focused, three-day-a-week format. Here are the best parts you can look forward to:

👀 Monday: Flex Day (Airdrop Radar, Sound Bites, Project Spotlight)

🧠 Wednesday: Big Brain Breakdown

🐎 Friday: Weekly Roundup

We're making this transition because we believe it will enable us to deliver higher-signal insights that are much more valuable, actionable, and ahead of the conversations that occur on X.

Rather than overwhelming you with an abundance of information, we want to deliver content that helps you navigate through the complexities and sparks interest that leads you to developing your own theses.

(We don’t wanna be the guys to deliver/repackage the 1938th blog on some shit you already know about just for the sake of shipping a blog post.

If you have any questions about the transition or would just like to chat, feel free to hit us up on X! @PonziPaddy & @brodyadreon 👊🏻
