so you see tempo launched a “permissionless” mainnet that’s actually a soft-permissioned validator set but like it’s framed as a payments-maximalist design constraint so it’s fine. and there’s this new thing called machine payments protocol which is basically agents paying agents but only after the humans in the loop say it’s okay. and technically anyone can build but not everyone can validate so it’s like permissionless frontage with curated consensus vibes. and there’s a whole camp saying this is the pragmatic turn for payments infra, optimized for UX, compliance, throughput, whatever it takes, while another camp is like wait this is literally how you re-invent banking rails with extra steps. and somehow both sides are calling it cypherpunk. and the funniest part is everyone agrees “money should be neutral” but we’re still debating who gets to run the nodes that move it. so now we have this dual-state chain where it’s permissionless if you’re building, permissioned if you’re securing, and aspirationally decentralized in the roadmap. and you can feel the subtext: payments first, decentralization later. maybe. money?

The thing about Hyperliquid Labs is they don't give a fuck. They don't give a fuck about conferences, presence somewhere, they don't give a fuck about you as a project or you as an individual. They have their own vision of how they see things, they don’t care about absolutely anything, if product is good — it will strive on a blockchain that is already big and flourishing. There are no grants, no liquidity programs, no investors, nothing. Labs don't have to prove anything to anyone. There are real users, real infra, real liquidity, etc, everything is ready, just ship something that people will find useful. That behavior might trigger someone because "how come they don't help their ecosystem protocols", but it is actually a great attitude to keep focused on what they do the best — shipping.

Tempo Mainnet is live! Starting today, anyone can build on Tempo through our public RPC endpoints. Alongside mainnet, we’re introducing the Machine Payments Protocol, an open standard for machine payments.

I get ~40 DMs a day right now across multiple platforms ...I'm sick of missing stuff. so I made this, a central DM hub called Open Mercury that is meant to look/operate like a mail inbox combining TG, X, Discord & iMessage DMs it's OSS, runs 100% locally ↓
