This morning, I saw two departure announcements—coincidentally, both individuals are stepping down from their current roles but will continue in advisory capacities. First: Nikita Bier, Head of Product at X Platform, is stepping down as Head of Product for X and transitioning into an advisory role. Second: Sam Blackshear, co-founder and CTO of Mysten Labs, will leave Mysten Labs to join Anthropic, focusing on defensive security research. He will continue serving as an advisor to Mysten and the Sui ecosystem, and will also be involved in the upcoming Move Foundation. Everyone should thank Sam Blackshear for his vision, which helped make Sui the epic phenomenon it is today. No action is needed—just joining DC early qualifies you. Opportunities like this are rare—hopefully our paths cross again on the next project!
