📢We are excited to announce the launch of our research paper! As the first comprehensive analysis of voter behavior in Web3, it explores two ecosystems @CurveFinance and @Polkadot, using a novel quantitative methodology to decompose governance patterns. polygon-governance.mirror.xyz/_BeDt5MvxFQ26E…

I remember this talk at ETH CC. My presentation refused to work on stage, and I spent some time re-structuring the talk by drawing parallels to Star Wars. Looks chill, but on the inside, I was dying. 😳

Somebody sent me this clip. It was such an interesting panel on AI and Governance that I think we should do one more series of it!

I wrote a little something about how every AI agent will eventually need a passport. I know that it feels like blockchain is slowly dying but all the primitives that we have all been learning and building are now more relevant than ever for AI agents! You've just got to see it. Crypto.news picked it up and published this. You know you've got to read this: crypto.news/every-ai-agent…

I spent the last few days researching India's AI ecosystem and here's what I found: What's happening in India's AI space right now deserves way more attention than it's getting 🧵👇

@jconnorholliman @coinbase Can vouch for your rigour! You were authentic and kind, and you won't be in the search market for long. :)

i honestly can’t believe i have to write this but i have been affected by the @coinbase layoffs from hiring/scaling our growth team to onboarding content creators/traders to representing the company at conferences to creating written/video content to doing millions of impressions on socials to hosting spaces to leading communications with blockchain clubs to running the student track for our base batches accelerator program, i have been much more than a recruiter i have given my all to @base so this really hurts but what an opportunity has this been i showed up everyday, gave 110%, and am truly proud of the brand i’ve built for myself and for the company it’s been an absolute pleasure working with my manager @KQpewpew and recruitment team (@kael_base_eth, @0xBradyn, and @Blayne_base_eth) as well as everyone i’ve hired (too many of you to name here) and everyone in the business i’ve partnered with and last but not least @jessepollak and @XenBH you have all provided me the opportunity to level up my skills and build an amazing team, and i couldn’t be more grateful i’ll be personally reaching out to everyone to express my gratitude as i’ll truly miss working with all of you now i’m going to do what i always do and stay optimistic especially because i’m leaving more skillful than i arrived frankly it feels too sudden, but i am now seeking my next opportunity if you are looking for a jack of all trades growth person/recruiter, i am your guy dms are open

@CiaraNightingal Sealed-bid auctions on public chains (MEV resistant)

If Ethereum had private state, what would you build?

@francescoswiss Hot chocolate.

matcha or coffee?

@uttam_singhk From a consultant's view, there is quite a bit of infrastructure work happening. ZK is maturing from research into production, AI x crypto is having a first-principles moment with payments but yes, the application layer stopped experimenting wildly.

uhmm is it just me or have people stopped trying to build new things in crypto over the past year or so ? it feels like it’s all perps and prediction markets now

@cryptodavidw @AnnaRRose Ceremony

I'm a zk guy, scare me with one word

Help me scale my consulting efforts in Governance, Research, and Tokenomics. A Karma Points collector for those who refer and introduce me to clients who need help in these areas. Redeem those karma points for a pretty good share in deals closed or any other service. If products are commoditized with AI, the opportunity lies in services.

interesting idea: i will run 3 days sprints. you tell me what kind of project you would like to see. kinda brainstorm together. i build it (ofcourse with claude), and we showcase it on TL for feedback. so, what's the idea?

It is an incredibly tough life when you carry baggage that you cannot put down. You become what you are because of it, not despite it.

People pay for "priority" boarding. I would pay for boarding last so I pick whichever of the empty seats I like.

The problem is the announcement creates the impact it was trying to avoid. Curious why EF couldn't execute the TWAP and then disclose after completion as part of routine treasury reporting? TradFi does structured disclosures all the time. Transactional transparency ≠ pre-announcing market-moving trades.

Every fking time. We can't get a break can we?

@shaaa256 The filter shifts from "can you build" to "can you distribute." AI industrializes software. It doesn't industrialize trust, switching costs, or genuine user dependency. I think capital will be pricing those and not velocity of feature or product launches.

how does capital find the right builders in this AI world we're stepping into?

Inverted: onchain governance needs agentic companies to work. The participation crisis in DAOs is a human bandwidth problem. agents could solve that. I think agentic interactions will require a different consensus game altogether. How do you ensure a Claude Max agent doesn't manipulate a haiku agent with limited computation and context?

@francescoswiss hot take back: agents don't become companies. They make "companies" as we know it today redundant. One human (legal shell), a cap table, and 50 agents.

hot take: Agents will become companies

A new stablecoin reaching that scale would need either 1. a regulatory forcing function like EU mandating a MiCA-compliant euro stable or 2. a novel mechanism that solves something USDT/USDC structurally can't like maybe censorship resistance. This is the DAI thesis and DAI is still 10x smaller.

real question: what would it actually take for a new stablecoin to reach USDT/USDC scale? is it even possible?

@socialforging And I love your zeal to decentralize validators! Gmonad.

I really love onboarding new validators into Monad network. Recently we have seen a great range of applications to the VDP: larger entities with longterm experience, community participants from the early days who are now looking to run validators and infra providers I have worked with prior across multiple networks who are bullish on Monad. The Validator community is a great one! Welcome to all the new operators 🫡

Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will let it pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past me, I will turn to see fear's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. Love this from the Dune series. Something I tell myself before important speeches/talks.
