@akashneelesh good take tbh. we tried. should try again?

> hot take - grants are just overrated as fuck people sending out a chatgpted or clauded project proposal and says here's my idea i wanna build this, dafuq ? do you really need a grant to build out something that you're really passionate about ? something that you think could really go big and something that you're so bullish about ? if you really wanna build, u can just go ahead and do it. the least thing one can do is to ship a good enough poc or a mvp that people can test and playaround with. and if you hit a rock bottom after all of that, and when you're not able to scale further. then u shud go ahead and apply for a grant and show enough validation on the impact it could bring for users, ecosystem and for your own startup. this really needs to change else grants are just a joke, and grifters are happy making money from one ecosystem to another at the end of the day. with 0 output

@carldlfr You nailed it. 👌

to start a small community organically allows you to know what happens all the time, so you know who is who easy to spot the difference between early supporters and opportunists

From DeFi to gaming, music, & beyond, we’ve featured 24 incredible projects, 3 season! each pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on Starknet. Big thanks to our guests, listeners & supporters. Here’s to more chats, more innovation, and on-chain greatness!🚀 @muguika @8am1am

Exactly a year ago, we hosted our first Lazarus Pit Twitter Space. So far, 24 hours, 24 projects, countless insights. Starknet Lazarus Pit has been a journey of discovery, bringing together builders, creators, and visionaries.

huge news! i have to change my talk slides at ethcc 😉

This is awesome. Seamless 👌

how do you'll generally find new tokens to buy? working on some interesting discovery related experiments at @useenclave and would appreciate any insights from active traders

been working with xave since september '24 (6 months before he backed us) & for the past few months after he invested extremely supportive and very founder friendly - highly recommend excited to build @useenclave with you ser and congrats on closing the fund!

It's Friday!🕺🏽 Check out this week's highlights, including live and on-site correspondence with @lordcumberlord, deep in Eternum trenches.

i did some week end thinking about breakout apps of this cycle, what they have in common and how it relates to what we do at SOCKET. namely, a lot of the successful apps have changed the game by breaking away from the accepted status quo and introduced new architectures to offer new primitives or better user experiences. @hyperliquid -> changed mempool design to prioritize order cancellations within a block - crucial for an on-chain orderbook to succeed, get mm's to provide liquidity and avoid a flood of failed txs @cowswap -> introduced off-chain auction to allow batching of user txs, find COWs and enable solver competition @ethena -> executes basis trade on CEX’s unlike predecessors who were limited to much smaller perp DEX's - while keeping collateral on-chain this is exactly the future we envision. SOCKET’s chain abstraction protocol allows builders to build apps that benefit from similar levels of customization via its concept of AppGateway. AppGateways are an app-level abstraction that sits above all chains - between the users and the on-chain contracts. With the AppGateway app builders can define any pre-execution logic to transactions before they land on-chain. A user transaction hits the Gateway, the AppGateways runs its logic and then a stream of transactions get executed on-chain. Any of the 3 earlier examples could be built on SOCKET. But where it really shines is if an app builder wants to write an app that runs logic on several chains. With SOCKET they can write their app in normal solidity as if it was running on a single chain. Contracts on one chain can seamlessly compose with contracts on other chains or even with off-chain systems. Importantly, they don't have to write ultra complex spaghetti code to deal with cross-chain messaging. Asking an app builder in crypto to understand cross-chain messaging is like asking a web2 developer to deal with TCP/IP to handle the transport and routing of data packets emitted by their app. Fuck that. In today's status quo before SOCKET, a builder who wants to e.g read the price of an asset on 3 different chains to execute a trade where it's cheapest, needs to write a contract that sends messages to all chains, fetch the prices, return the messages to the origin chain and deal with message verification, cost and latency. Impossible to build a seamless user experience using the current toolset. From the app builder perspective, you can look at SOCKET as taking care of all the orchestration necessary across chains to settle what has been defined in the AppGateway by an army of off-chain actors to execute your users actions with modular security on chain. In production right now we have: @BungeeExchange our liquidity marketplace doing >$1b volume per month is the first app built on SOCKET. The BungeeGateway is where user intents and transactions are processed and matched with solvers & fillers. @useenclave is building a "Universal Balance" as-a-Service layer to let wallets abstract fragmented chain balances and replace them with a fungible balance that users can spend on any chain, instantly. Here, the EnclaveGateway matches user orders with Paymasters. @rathfinance is turning DeFi yield into a native feature for wallets. User funds get auto-routed to best opportunities across chains with no extra steps. projects like @derivexyz @aevoxyz @KintoXYZ @reya_xyz etc. use SOCKET for chain-abstracted deposits into their app. But we're only beginning to scratch the surface of what's possible to build with this new way of building apps. It's literally Day 0 for Chain Abstraction. If you are building something ambitious in crypto today - reach out to us.

Starknet STAGE 1 ✅ Very important milestone reached. Security should always be the top priority. Now, let's move on to the next stage. In the meantime, Starknet is the fastest and cheapest Ethereum rollup. And it's the ZK rollup with the most activity, active users (and real ones!) and TVL. (And with the most secure and battle-tested proving system in the world! > 4 years in prod, +$1 trillion in cumulative volume secured, > 1B transactions processed). Starknet will also scale Bitcoin and contribute humbly to hyperbitcoinization of the world. STARKs are an amazing technology that can really make a difference in the world, especially for Freedom Tech. Starknet is built from first principles, and the results are becoming more and more evident. Starknet is unique. Starknet will melt faces. Work not finished, game on. We are just getting started. Bit shout to @l2beat for the amazing work they do to track the ecosystem and provide transparency. We need them to keep all L2s accountable publicly. They are doing a very professional, rigorous and security laser focused work. Especially in the case of Starknet that is not EVM compatible and have many differences with others.
