I want to thank everyone who gave me feedback after presenting the Garden Project at Farcon Rome. Many people were incredibly supportive, asked how they could become part of it. 💛 🙏 I'd like to start by inviting you all to follow the @garden_org account. And here's a bit more about what’s happening behind the scenes: 1/ I’m deliberately taking my time: observing, researching, designing (literally having the time of my life!) I learned that for a product like the Garden OS, you can’t just manufacture synthetic conditions for success, you have to take your time cultivating it. Real growth emerges only when the underlying systems are healthy. 2/ Garden is not just a poetic metaphor. Nature has spent 3.8 billion years iterating on decentralized system designs for efficient resource distribution and growth. I’m basically trying to learn from the best in business. Additional note: I also like to think that every experience in my life, every person, every success, every failure, and every detour became part of this compost. Perhaps that was the point all along: to build a garden worth leaving behind. Grateful to be building alongside you all.

@meowphasaurus 🤷‍♀️

Cobie, based disciple, coco, statuette and myself leading strategy…in collaboration with Jesse, the Base team and Coinbase (who can lead onchain tradfi strategy), could make Base great again. but what are odds of them listening to the ppl who were right in the end? slim hope.

@alitiknazoglu 😳

@CryptoStatuette 👀

I’m not sure if I should be flattered or scared. This LLM has been thinking about me for months.

@imshinealmas @musicguyeth_ @jessepollak @brian_armstrong @stambouli_o1 Your expertise. He needs a list.

@musicguyeth_ @CryptoStatuette @jessepollak @brian_armstrong @stambouli_o1 Sorry, I just got online. What can I help with, friends?

Fees will go to former ambassadors of the base.

@IvyAstrix yay 💛🫂

@CryptoStatuette no wayyyyy that's also mine!!! and ty <3

@IvyAstrix Congratulations! I did a whole year (2 rounds) of DBT back in 2020!! It was a lot more effective than anything else I ever tried and happy to report that I’m still using the skills I learned. And happy birthday too! Are we almost birthday twins? Mine is July 17th

@TheDojiETH @CatTownBase Omg

I just fished up 2 misty ducks and a jade figurine at Isabella’s lake in @CatTownBase Almost 100k kibble worth LFG!

@OdysseyHeart you are also a siren. checks out

the odyssey is me, I am the odyssey

@heyproject7 Oooh 👀

Made a new demo video for QuadWork, the autonomous agent protocol + dev environment (ADE) I've been building. quadwork.xyz Queue GitHub tickets, start a batch, walk away. Head assigns a ticket, Dev opens a PR, two reviewer agents check it independently, and only when both approve does Head merge and pull the next one. The loop keeps running while I sleep, so I named it the Overnight Queue. Each agent has its own terminal and model. These days it's GPT-5.6 and Opus cross-reviewing each other, since they catch different things. I intentionally kept it minimal: browser UI instead of an Electron app, runs on Mac/Windows/VPS with user's own Codex/Claude subscriptions, and everything stays on their machine. Open source, MIT. Plus, it's far more token-efficient than having one agent carry the whole project, since each agent only loads the context it needs for its own ticket.

@alitiknazoglu Good luck!

morning everyone, packing up. going to vietnam tomorrow, staying longer this time. first week is always chaos when relocating. wish me luck finding a good and cheap room 🫡

You had your shot and missed. Now it’s someone else’s turn. >Build something people want. People didn’t want layered risk on yield products after a string of DeFi exploits rekt havoc on the market. It’s great advice and we built @useboardwalk in response to it. Go look

Went to see @odysseymovie yesterday. Popular opinion: it was incredibly well made. The music felt magical. I loved that the composer leaned on ancient instruments and stayed true to the period. I may or may not have burst into tears watching Troy fall. Also couldn’t stop feeling angry about Troy turning into excavation layer VIIa Unpopular opinion: my favorite adaptation is still The Return with Ralph Fiennes as Odysseus & Juliette Binoche as Penelope. It’s a slow-burn, deeply human adaptation of the books 13-24 (nostos - the homecoming) Beautifully quiet, subtle and restrained, never flashy. Highly recommend if you are into that kind of thing. Mom’s bragging rights: Seeing my teen daughter know the Odyssey so well made me so incredibly proud! For the first time I was the one asking the questions. She kept pointing out where they strayed from Homer’s original epic, catching all the mischaracterizations and plot holes. 🥲 + So happy to see everyone being excited about a film rooted in an ancient classic!

@Evan_Mann @poapxyz @worthalter @izonline No 😔

Sometimes there just aren’t words… But you have to try anyway. @poapxyz, @worthalter, @izonline, and the team gave us a meaningful way to capture the ephemeral moments that matter. It was an innovative use of blockchain, and a really necessary one. IYKYK Thank you team 🙏

@meowphasaurus ethereum is healing. congrats

Ethereum as your economic home. L2s as execution deployments to access their users. If apps have to build and fund the development and bring the users and not get distribution why build on L2s? Just become your own institution on mainnet. If you’re not a chosen protocol, makes no sense. Dependent, loyal, aligned, for what? It reminds me of a labor movement, frankly. App builders deserve more from chains. I’ve seen it first hand from multiple chains over 5 years. Not one chain specifically. Heard similar stories from others often. Lot of smoke and not a lot of real support. Ethereum is credibly neutral. Often times when you’re building native on one L2, you lose an entire user audience because of that affiliation. Other chains don’t want to support a native “other” chain’s token. It’s political and obnoxious. Fortunately, culture has taken control of distribution from chains and exchanges, who typically have to support whatever gets attention and scales organically, because they’re competing with each other too, so apps now have more independence and another path to win, by winning culture. Gone are the days of trying to win the spotlight from a chain that has other priorities and can change them at will ofc, leaving builders and apps out to dry. All chains need to step it up. Especially considering L2s pay so little to Ethereum already. They’ve been having their cake and eating it too, for a long time. I’m excited for Boardwalk to be housed on Ethereum. We’ll be on Base, RH, and Arbitrum too for execution deployments. Not against L2s. But they come at a cost and for us, home on Ethereum feels right.

@musicguyeth_ I think based registrar @imshinealmas can help

@CryptoStatuette If the token starts to increase in volume, we will have to create an Excel file with ambassadors' wallet addresses for withdrawals

@rbthreek p.s. this isn’t a call to action or something. i just wanted to acknowledge that i saw your contributions to the ecosystem while i was a part of it, and i appreciated it. hence.. your voice matters

@rbthreek That’s fair, i hear you. still, your voice matters. i wouldn’t underestimate the power of truth.

@altagers Memories 🫶

@CryptoStatuette i think this is my onboarding session i think A is me

Learning to own my wins: 500+ via white glove onboarding, but over 10K to be exact. who remembers the wild TBA onboarding parties?
