See https://calyxinstitute.org/news/2025/cryptocurrency-contributions-for-memberships-are-currently-unavailable and https://calyxinstitute.org/news/2025/statement-on-calyx-leadership-change

I cannot find details about these events other than Calyx's posts.

What is going on at Calyx? What is Nicholas Merrill doing now? Were these two posts related? Who would you ask?

No idea, maybe the people at FUTO would know something

I asked in their chat but so far no response.

Hey guy, I don't have any info beyond the official dev statements. Glad for the work they did

Thanks for taking a look. They may still be doing good work, but if they require USD that would be sad.

I found the answer. Nicholas Merill started an MVNO.
