Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly blamed the delay on Hamas, saying the group failed to honor parts of the provisional agreement. The country\u2019s cabinet is also holding off on a vote until the final details of the provisional agreement are ironed out, Netanyahu said. The vote is reportedly still on track to happen over the weekend, allowing the ceasefire to take effect on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Deep divides in Israeli cabinet:<\/strong> The three-phase ceasefire agreement \u2014 which was announced on Wednesday \u2014 has been met with resistance from several members of the Israeli cabinet, although it is broadly expected that it will be approved.

Speaking to us this week is Alex Scott (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/alexfscott?originalSubdomain=ae\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>), head of Solana Middle East. Edited excerpts from our conversation:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I lead growth in the Middle East on behalf of Solana<\/strong>, one of the largest \u2014 and currently the most used \u2014 blockchains in the world. Founded by Raj Gokal (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/rajgokal\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>) and Anatoly Yakovenko (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/anatoly-yakovenko\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>) about four and a half years ago, the vision was to create a globally accessible digital infrastructure, a version of Nasdaq that anyone can use. One of the key pillars around that was scalability \u2014 the ability to have massive numbers of transactions for very cheap. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We encourage people to get started and build their first application <\/strong>by helping them access grant money. We think about blockchain as a thriving global city, and we're encouraging people to come and build on top of the technology. We succeed when we see founders succeed, raise money, exit their companies, and build things that matter to people and investors, who find windows to deploy capital on projects that are building on this network.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Today, Solana supports thousands of developers worldwide<\/strong> and is home to some of the most vibrant developer ecosystems. We foster these ecosystems through initiatives like <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/superteam.fun\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Superteam<\/a>, our ecosystem development program that is live in 17 countries. We've got a physical presence in most countries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>One trend I find exciting is the intersection of artificial intelligence and blockchain. <\/strong>Our recent AI hackathon, run by the Coliseum team, received 1,300 submissions from all over the world, including 15 from people based in the UAE. We're seeing a pretty substantial amount of talent here in the UAE that is really building at the forefront of technology.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>My typical day is pretty unpredictable but generally falls into a few buckets. <\/strong>One focus is community-building. Last week, I hosted a lunch for a mix of founders, investors, and representatives from the Dubai government. Another category is business development in the region \u2014 figuring out how to encourage projects and institutions to launch using Solana\u2019s technology. Finally, there\u2019s making content, which involves recording videos or scripting interviews with the wider crypto community in the UAE.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I\u2019m usually up by 6 or 6:30am \u2014 thanks to my dog<\/strong>, who ensures I\u2019m awake by licking my face to go for his walk. After that I\u2019ll check in with my four-month-old daughter, trying to get a laugh out of her before heading to my home gym. I\u2019ve recently invested in a proper setup with a squat rack, Olympic bar, freeweights, and a bench. It's very well-documented that staying physically active helps you think clearer and has a lot of benefits. So, four days a week, I lift weights for about an hour before I go back to the desk. After the gym, I have a bit of protein and some caffeine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Morning for me is deep work<\/strong>, a sacred time where my focus and attention are sharpest, and I can just put on noise-cancelling headphones and get deep into work. That\u2019s why I typically block off this time on my calendar and don\u2019t allow morning meetings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I stay up to date with industry news primarily through Twitter <\/strong>\u2014 it\u2019s where everything in crypto happens. In-person events, hackathons, and demo days are also alpha in the industry for seeing what new things people are working on and getting access to information that\u2019s not yet public.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Striking a work-life balance in crypto is hard because it\u2019s a 24\/7 industry<\/strong>, and there\u2019s always something happening. It\u2019s very difficult to unplug. I'm hopelessly addicted to my phone and, you know, answering Twitter DMs and Telegram and WhatsApp messages at all kinds of hours. So, it\u2019s more about trying to figure out the guardrails that you and your personal relationships are comfortable with. I try as much as possible to set boundaries. I like using the built-in notification suppression so that I'm not getting alerts in the middle of the night. That helps me not mess up my sleep. Dinner time is also a no-phone zone \u2014 we leave the phones in the other room and just focus and be present with each other. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Unwinding after a workday often involves spending time with my daughter<\/strong>, playing and talking with her, helping with her bedtime routine, and rediscovering nursery rhymes that I haven\u2019t sung for about 30 years. Living in Dubai, I\u2019m also spoiled for choice when it comes to dining and entertainment. There are always new restaurants to try or events to attend. I also ride motorcycles and often take trips to the mountains of the UAE.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Looking ahead, this year will be the biggest for Solana in the UAE yet. <\/strong>We\u2019re hosting our annual Breakpoint Conference in Abu Dhabi in December, bringing more than 7k people from all over the world. Before that, in April, we\u2019re hosting a two-week co-working event featuring a mix of startup pitches, policy discussions around crypto, and cultural activities. It\u2019s an interesting way for people to experience the UAE while learning more about Solana\u2019s ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>On a personal level, I\u2019m doubling down on content creation<\/strong>, especially video, as a way to reach new audiences. It\u2019s something that\u2019s new to me \u2014 previously, I was behind the scenes in product and engineering roles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A book I recently revisited is <\/strong><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.eg\/4-Hour-Work-Week-Escape-Anywhere\/dp\/0091929113\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">The 4-Hour Workweek<\/a><\/strong><strong> by Tim Ferriss. <\/strong>One key insight that resonated with me is the idea that instead of asking what makes you happy, ask what keeps you excited and motivated. It\u2019s a good reminder to myself to reevaluate what truly drives me as I plan for the future and what\u2019s coming up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The best advice I\u2019ve received is to maintain curiosity<\/strong> and increase your surface area for luck. This means always assuming that you can learn something in every situation \u2014 approach everything with this kind of beginner\u2019s mindset \u2014 and being open to opportunities that are out of your comfort zone. Whether it\u2019s publishing that piece of content you\u2019ve been hesitant about, stray off the narrow path and explore new things.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!--
