@JNSilva_ @arbitrum love it!

Got hired to shoot content at the @arbitrum Open House in NYC this weekend and decided to build a little something while I was here. A living pixel city built entirely by the blockchain. Every 12 seconds a new block mines and the whole city responds — gas prices color the sky, transactions fill the streets, quiet blocks put the city to sleep. Take a snapshot and mint it whenever you want. Built in 48hrs with @alchemyplatform @dune_analytics @GMX_IO @LayerZero_Core @RobinhoodApp @Fhenix_ Solo. Zero coding experience. @AnthropicAI’s Claude Code as my co-pilot. 🙌🏼. Am I an @ArbitrumDevs yet?

@Melt_Dem Couldn't agree more, and amazing list - one of my favourites is missing though - Slaughterhouse-Five. No Ray Bradbury either?

finished re-reading ender’s game and i forgot how phenomenal it was continue to believe reading sci fi is the greatest thing anyone interested in understanding, shaping, and directing the many manifolds of humanity’s future can and should do my sci fi reading list 👇

@Musingsaremine musings are genius

When great products do marketing, it's considered educational. When terrible products do marketing, it's considered manipulation. Our morality shapes perception.

Are you interested in working directly for a DAO? OpCo is hiring for three roles: - Legal - Finance - Head of OpCo Please share widely! Arbitrum is still very much committed to its DAO and we are hoping to hire some awesome people for these roles. jobs.lever.co/arbitrum-opco

Couldn't agree more - progress with DePINs is absolutely critical for the space, without it, “decentralisation” is just a slogan. There is no need to reinvent the wheel - look at the UK's Critical National Infrastructure approach. It outlines, protects and coordinates the resilience of "essential systems" whose disruption would severely impact national security, economic stability, public safety, and daily life. It does this through policy, regulation, and investment. This can easily be adapted for crypto. We already know what the core infrastructure is - we need a coordinated effort to transition to their decentralised counterparts. Our industry should prioritise the drive to fund, grow and support projects that can provide the security needed. This would be a win for Web3 and Web2.

Seeing Berba on an @arbitrum project brings back memories of seeing him put on the united shirt for the first time. Time to replicate that success

open house @arbitrum_india hack went so smoothly, i legit slept 7 hrs every single day of the hackathon, my first for any hackathon i've been a part of lol! the vogue like shoot doesn't do justice to my beauty sleep! - 0 logistical issues (wifi worked like a charm all 4 days :p) - 0 delays / cancellations (not accounting for the mins it took people to get up from their comfy stations & get to the workshop rooms) - 1 complaint from the builders (that they food was so good, there should have been a dedicated post lunch rest hour on the schedule) - 50% constructively critical feedback to builders. rest 50% just constructive because some mentors were absolute cuties - 100% positive support and feedback from the community as i start connecting with the projects built at OH next week, can bet my cold wallet that so many of them will see the light of mainnet 💙 but, none of this would have been possible with my team mates who all did their job timely and with full ownership. most of them travelled to india to support the builders in person. follow them if you don't already as every single one is an expert in their field. - @itstoniakay - our events kween who really needs to write a book titled 'Guide to Web3 Events'. instant bestseller - @hummusonrails - devrel ninja who can make the most technical sessions fun with his oratory & simple analogies - @Swagtimus - one man devrel army. AI's got nothing on his organizational skills - @takamasa_minami - marketing expert and team enabler who ensured we all did what we do best to our best capacity - @0xBenjamintan - my man who's not the youngest at arbitrum foundation 😝 but def the quickest on his feet when it comes to wit - @SavanWrites - resident content expert. AI's got nothing on him either :p - @kubesqrt - ecosystem maverick who's burning the midnight oil to make sure OH projects get all the support they need all the way to mainnet - @slayercoredev - data specialist who can create impact funnels to the last impression. no one misses his radar - @ChrisCo512 - OCL devrel who can see through your builds like he's got laser in his eyes - @supremebattak - his jokes are questionable :p but web3 development understanding is incredible - @heart_eyes_0x - if you thought OH swag was cool, she's the one behind the vibes - Orin - who's not on X because she's locked in creating beaut marketing experiences a big thanks to @aboutlo @samfriedman6_ @cryptovladdy and all my colleagues at @arbitrum who were indispensable for OH India! 🫶

@MarcinPress Vampires have buffed recovery powers 🦇🦇

GM. Had surgery yesterday (nothing serious). The real challenge now is sleeping on my back like a vampire 🧛‍♂️ aka not sleeping at all.

@DancingEddie_ For the love of god stop tweeting about perps - haven't you made the connection yet?
