@nilesh: orb has been acquired by @masknetwork, stepping down as ceo

Nilesh announced that Orb has been acquired by @masknetwork and that he is stepping down as CEO. He says Orb started as a side project in his apartment during grad school, first as a flashcard app for learning web3, and grew after he built a simple mobile app for web3 social, which he says drew tens of thousands of testers within weeks. He reports that the project raised a few million dollars, reached hundreds of thousands of users, and that his cofounder @kipto and the team are joining Mask to continue the mission. Nilesh says he is staying in SF and exploring consumer AI, robotics and hardware.
