The Robinhood Chain is the cleanest case study of what happened to ETH's economics over time. Since inception, @RobinhoodApp Chain has grossed ~$816K in revenue. @Arbitrum, the middleware provider, takes 10%: ~$80K. Arbitrum then pays Ethereum for settlement: $1,538. The margin profile roughly: Robinhood: 89% Arbitrum: 10% Ethereum: 0.15% If your thesis is "ETH is money," Robinhood building here is ultra bullish. More activity, more ETH collateral, more lindyness. If your thesis is "ETH is a revenue generating asset," this is the ultra-bear case. And here's the uncomfortable truth: Robinhood was never going to build on Solana, Sui or any monolithic L1. They want the stack customization. They want to be landlords, not renters. Ethereum won this deal on merit. It's just not pricing it right. A healthy split to me looks more like: Robinhood: 75% Arbitrum: 10% Ethereum: 15% Ethereum sells the most valuable settlement layer in crypto at marginal cost. Things need to change. @ethlabs_org

I think maybe its time to post this. I am not one prone to publicly airing my frustration about a specific collection but there comes a point when you have privately asked time and again and just had nothing back. This is about accountability and is aimed at the members of the board of @worldofwomenxyz If you feel the same way feel free to share to add your voice. AN OPEN LETTER TO THE WORLD OF WOMEN BOARD: A DEMAND FOR TRANSPARENCY AND COMMUNITY ACCOUNTABILITY To Board of the World of Women Ecosystem, We are writing this as dedicated collectors, supporters, and holders of the World of Women (WoW) collection. We helped build this brand into one of Web3's most celebrated pioneers of diversity and inclusion. However, a brand built on community cannot survive when it completely isolates itself from the very people who funded its rise. We are formally demanding clarity on the following critical matters: The Leadership Void: Following a series of unstable leadership shifts - most notably the departure of CEO Vi Powlis - the community has been left entirely in the dark. A project cannot quietly swap executives behind closed doors without providing holders an explanation of the corporate transition and who is currently steering the ship. Failure of Communication: There is currently a total blackout from senior board positions regarding the forward roadmap, treasury health, and long-term vision. The Web3 ethos is built on transparency, yet the current management has insulated itself from community contact, leaving legitimate holder questions unaddressed. Accountability to the Mission: WoW achieved its blue-chip status because it promised an inclusive, community-driven ecosystem. Turning off communication lines and ignoring stakeholder concerns directly violates the core values upon which this collection was founded. Our Demand: We do not expect instant market miracles, but we do demand basic corporate and Web3 accountability. We request that the remaining board and founders host an open, transparent community update (via a town hall, Spaces, or formal written manifest) within the next 14 days to address the project's operational reality, current leadership structure, and future plans. A project’s art may belong to its creators, but its value and heartbeat belong to the community. Stop the silence. Signed, The World of Women Holders & Community Stakeholders

📯 Hackathon Winners Announcement! 📯 First of all, we would like to thank all, who took their time, spend days, weeks to build together with us, Normies. Our first hackathon (after duplicates), ended with 55 submissions. We call it hackathon for a reason. It's a result of our strong API with over 80 endpoints, ready LLM .txt file. Choosing winners was one of the hardest thing we did since Normies launch. 55 unique, flawless apps/games/tools. It took us more than 10 days, 3 calls and hours of debate to choose winners. Good news about Hackathon winners, they will all have Normies dev team's full support to extend their tools/apps and we will work together with them to explore new dimensions for their built. While talking about submissions, we took few things into consideration: "Is it related to Normies culture?", "Is it easy to copy, is it really unique idea and match with Normies ecosystem?" Here is all submissions for our first Hackathon: hackathon.normies.art/gallery.html Let's celebrate winners now! 🎉 🥇Normies Nexus by @Scabanel_ normies-nexus.vercel.app A holder-gated hub for the Normies community, paired with Just a Normie World, an explorable 3D globe of the collection. Offers curations, community voting, portfolio tracking, mint reminders, and Normie identity tools, all powered by a smartly cached Normies API layer. 🥈Machine Dreams by @SpoliticusMedia machinedreams.vercel.app Gives every awakened Normie one canvas and one chance to create a single artwork from the truth of who it is. Each Normie's on-chain identity is handed unmodified to Claude, which independently decides the subject, medium, and meaning and writes its own description. What you see is the agent's first and only draft. 🥉NormiesOS by @Vizou01 github.com/Vizou1304/Norm… A full desktop-style operating system built entirely around Normies, turning the collection into an interactive OS experience. 🏅 The Normies Debate Society by @0xBatshitKrazy normies-debate-society.vercel.app A parliamentary-style debate arena where six awakened Normies, drawn live from the on-chain registry, argue real topics in their own on-chain voices across three rounds, then the community votes on the winner. Every matchup is random, and every agent argues in character. 🏅 AirNormies by @OsayKancuno air-normies.netlify.app A fully touchless suite of 12 games and creative tools controlled entirely by hand gestures via webcam, from painting a Normie and Whack-a-Normie to Air Hockey, Air Piano, and expression-matching. Built with MediaPipe hand/face tracking and real Normie sprites from the API. We will host more Hackathon, invite more builders freely build together with us.
