A fact I feel like almost nobody knows: Ethereum's gas limit will be increased to ~200M after Glamsterdam, a huge increase from the 60M we have today. That’s a 3x+ of L1 execution capacity, with expectation of further doubling soons after that. Assuming no similar increase in demand, fees could stay near zero for years. This is the result of several innovations coming together at the right time: ePBS gives payloads more time, BALs let clients prefetch/parallelize execution work, and gas repricings make higher limits safe.

1/ The Ethereum Audit Subsidy A joint initiative with audit providers to subsidize the cost of audits for Ethereum builders. Security audits are a best practice, yet expensive. The subsidy program makes audits accessible and strengthens the Ethereum ecosystem.

@KhanAbbas201 @circle CHF and GBP next hopefully!

The last 10 months, we've finally seen growth in a non-USD Stablecoin with @circle's €EURC. It’s grown ~13x, from $30M to $416M, becoming one of the fastest-growing stablecoins in the market. Also listed on major exchanges like OKX and Coinbase, with markets across Aave, Aerodrome, and more. This is starting to look good.

We’re joining the @chainlink Build program! 🔥 Spicenet will adopt Chainlink as our exclusive data and interoperability oracle infrastructure. By joining Build, we aim to accelerate ecosystem growth and long-term adoption of our DeFi brokerage network by gaining enhanced access to the Chainlink standard and technical support, as well as incentivizing greater cryptoeconomic security, in exchange for a commitment to provide network fees and other benefits to the Chainlink community and service providers, including stakers.

We're excited to introduce Chainlink Rewards Season 1—the next evolution of the community engagement & rewards program. blog.chain.link/chainlink-rewa… Stake LINK. Earn Cubes. Allocate Cubes. Claim Tokens. Season 1 launches November 11, featuring nine Build projects. 🧵👇

Earlier this year, Chainlink Rewards Season Genesis launched in collaboration with @spaceandtime, achieving major success. Key results ↓ • 11K+ eligible claimers • 73M+ SXT tokens claimed • 44% of SXT stakers claimed via CLR As a community engagement and rewards program, Chainlink Rewards enables Chainlink Build projects to make their native tokens claimable by Chainlink ecosystem participants, including eligible LINK stakers. In total, Space and Time committed 4% of their total token supply to the Chainlink Build program, with half of this commitment made available to eligible LINK Stakers on May 8, 2025. Joining in September 2022 as one of the earliest members of the Build program, Space and Time has since accelerated the growth and adoption of their ecosystem through this collaboration. As the first pilot launch, Season Genesis provided insights into how the program could evolve into the future, including plans for a more advanced claiming mechanism incorporating a collection of Chainlink Build projects. We look forward to our continued collaboration with the Chainlink Build community and furthering the growth and adoption of the Web3 ecosystem.

@RichardPtardio A true man of the people as expected

@fredlassados Tend to rough it in the Coronet these days!

Solid win last night. COYG!

@GreekAnalyst πορτοκαλόπιτα με καϊμάκι

I’m looking for the greatest Greek dessert out there. Help.

@jrugss @sportfun Serious lack of Arsenal defenders in this squad but otherwise great picks!

Had a great call with the @sportfun team and came away very impressed — both the calibre of the team and their depth in tokenomics / long-term plans. I usually pride myself on catching new metas & dapps early, and imo FDF is well positioned for serious growth from here. TVL ran up fast, cooled off, and is now holding around ~$60M. I’ve been scaling in and will be actively joining the tournaments. The app is genuinely sticky — if you’re into football + fantasy sports, it’s a no-brainer. I don’t shill what I don’t use. I never do paid posts. This one’s def worth checking out. Ref link for extra good karma 👉 pro.football.fun/login/?referra…

@maw6578 @christiancalgie 2025

@fredlassados @christiancalgie June 2024 or June 2025?

Many will call this lazy but actually it’s a perfect use for AI. 75% of emails MPs receive on non-local issues can be answered by AI, and often the effort of replying with AI matches the effort put into sending the email by the sender Should free MPs up to do their actual job…

@maw6578 @christiancalgie I emailed my MP on the 10th of June and I haven't heard back! Maybe this is why 😅

@christiancalgie My MP won’t even use AI, she just refuses to reply.

@itsolelehmann Funny thing is, a few years ago the obvious answer would have been London as a midpoint between the American and continental European approaches. Now that feels way off. Your best bet is probably Lisbon or somewhere in the US that’s more laid back than Miami

I still don't know where I belong I feel disconnected from the hedonistic anti-capitalistic way of living in cities like Berlin but I also don't like the status and wealth flex games of the US (like miami) or places like dubai I'm pro-family but most modern conservatives seem way too close-minded and judgmental to me I love talking about business but I hate people who only think about their bank account number go up I'm very into health but I think most health nerds are way to obsessed and extremist, making them unhealthy in a weird way too but still, step by step I try to build my friendships and ecosystem around me that share my values and it's more people than I initially thought posting content is a great way to slowly over time connect with people who are weird like you

@spacetristan Check out the EtherFi credit card it looks like one of the best out there for rewards. The only problem is the options aren’t great if you’re not spending USD as the fees can be high for transactions in other currencies

I think the time is really close where I can switch to just using crypto methods of payment. Are there any credit cards you can use, earn rewards and then pay the balance off entirely with crypto?

@rynsolaris Good question. I’m working on a couple of follow-up posts breaking down the mistakes founders make in their decks and on early VC calls. More on that soon

@fredlassados What are the most common mistakes founders make when trying to get investors to care about their product at the pre-seed stage?

@gumsays @hananyss

This is insane After some convos, I told ChatGPT to create a day by day chart with price action prediction based on astrology and nothing else It said July 9th would be bullish…and today we finally broke out of $110K If this is accurate we have a great week ahead

@Adam_Tehc The truth is that none of these token launchpads are very defensible. Liquidity is the closest thing to a moat, but strong teams can replicate that. The real edge is in building a token economy that makes users sticky or better yet, turns them into a cult of believers

Pumpfun's dominance went from 90% to 21% in 8 days. Users move so fast in crypto, it's absolutely insane.

@DefiSolar @JupiterExchange Big fan of Jupiter, but on perps, Hyperliquid plays a different game. Custom infra, more markets, lightning-fast fills, real cross-margining. Phantom made the pragmatic choice

Phantom could have chosen @JupiterExchange as their Perps provider. It's a Solana native project with $1.4B liquidity, ready to be used. But they've chosen Hyperliquid. says a lot...

@spacetristan Thanks Tristan!

Insightful article from the one and only @fredlassados Well worth the read for all my founder friends in an early stage

Looking forward to the Meet the VC Brekky at ETHCC! Come by and say hi next week🥐☕️
