🐜 HONORING THE INSPIRATION BEHIND ORI THE ANT 🐜

Just watched @michaelsuttonil's incredible interview on @xximpod discussing Kaspa's Crescendo update and the brilliant minds behind it.

When Michael mentioned @OriNewman among Kaspa's key contributors, it reminded us why we chose our character's name so carefully.

Ori the Ant isn't just a character - he's named after Ori Newman, one of the researchers whose work helped build the foundation of what makes Kaspa extraordinary. From academic research to real-world implementation, these contributors created the BlockDAG innovation we all benefit from.

$ANTX's entire project is built on Kaspa - from the name of our hero to the technology powering our motion comics. We're honored to carry forward the spirit of innovation these researchers established.

Massive respect to Ori Newman, Michael Sutton, and all the contributors who made Kaspa possible. 🙏
