We love public goods We love @ethereum So why not build a Public Goods Staking Protocol. 🌍⚙️✨ @greenpilldevguild/the-public-goods-staking-protocol-v0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">paragraph.com/@greenpilldevg… Powered by @LidoFinance @dappnode @Obol_Collective @OctantApp 💪

Pluto, the second distributed validator client, continues to make progress towards mainnet. Built by @Nethermind to bring client diversity to the middleware layer of Ethereum for the first time. Testnet coming soon ⌛️

The nexus of Designer, Product Manager and Software Engineer is the Software Architect Optimizes for that in this AI agentic times

@cryptoeconprof @dankrad Lol Dankrad works for a corposlop chain, he’s not an Ethereum researchers anymore. Of course he says what says… And he’s wrong

Listening to David’s explanation of why he sold was pretty mind numbing lol… I recently shared that I was a toxic Bitcoin maximalist for roughly 8 years, from 2017 to late 2024. Stablecoins are what initially made me revisit my thesis on Ethereum, and on ether as Ethereum’s native asset. That, combined with the rapid approach of the agentic economy - a world with an infinite number of autonomous economic actors sending value through stablecoins across a small handful of networks that society has deemed valuable - made me reevaluate further. So I went back and revisited my priors on Ethereum. Were my early concerns around centralization, monetary policy, and network effects still valid after all these years? Surely, yes. I set out to prove myself right. I found out I was wrong. The centralization concerns I had entirely faded. While I was 100% encapsulated in my Bitcoin bubble, Ethereum had slowly, quietly, and relentlessly built the only other WWIII-proof, global, credibly neutral, decentralized protocol. And in some areas, Ethereum had actually become more decentralized than Bitcoin: client diversity, validator distribution, and a secure long-term scaling/security model through proof of stake. Ethereum had matured. It had grown out of its early “shitcoin” association. It had become the only truly permissionless, censorship resistant, credibly neutral, and valuable protocol outside of Bitcoin. It grew up. That matters because the only reason I was ever Bitcoin-only was that, at the time, there were no other networks with the protocol traits that could plausibly make all of global finance, and eventually much of humanity, value them at the deepest level. Back then, it was only Bitcoin. So the irony here is incredible. Just as Ethereum and ether have finally matured, just as Ethereum has distanced itself from the decentralized-in-name-only, venture-backed, fake startup, “we’re hiding behind a blockchain” mentality, now a small group of influencers have decided to become negative on Ethereum. When Bitcoiners use the term “shitcoiner,” this is what they are usually talking about. Bag chasers. People who want their chain to act like a company. Permissioned. Hyper-structured. Marketing team. CEO. Quarterly reports. Revenue. Earnings. Some polished growth narrative for VCs. Basically, a bunch of stupid shit that already exists in the fiat world. The same world Bitcoin, and now Ethereum, were created to help us escape from. To suddenly be disappointed that Ethereum has a broader mandate than “pump my bag,” and is instead focused on hardening the traits that make the network valuable over decades, tells you a lot about how these people misunderstand it. CROPS is the value proposition. Censorship resistance. Resilience. Openness. Permissionlessness. Security. That is why society values Bitcoin. That is why society now values Ethereum. And that is why the Laura Shins, Ansems, and David Hoffmans of the world jumping ship now is so revealing. They are not leaving because the thesis broke. They are leaving because they never had the thesis in the first place. They do not and never have seen the value in decentralized, global, open systems - sanctuary technologies or neutral rails that can materially improve people’s lives. What they have always chased is a high-growth stock equivalent with a smaller market cap. A shiny new object that appears once or twice per cycle; violent upward momentum, narrative, and upside without the patience required to actually understand what is being built. They need to chase because they do not have the time horizon to hold a thesis and let conviction compound over time. CROPS is the entire value proposition. Do not let startup-brain influencers, who never understood why this ecosystem was created in the first place, gaslight you out of conviction.

gm gm with some reports from #GlobalPizzaParty2026 Koh Phangan by @Pizza_DAO we had quite a good crowd, ate a lot of pizza and met new friends huge thanks to @Dashpay for fueling us even more with funds for cool printing materials and $Dash raffle - 100$ prize 🏆 @DashNews_Daily

Really? How is that sustainable?

@0xWildhare @greengoodsapp Not from the app, we have an admin flow that's currently gated as we work out the kink with the 1st cohort of Gardens. We'll start onboarding new gardens in June!

@greenpilldevs @greengoodsapp Is it possible to start a new garden from the app, or I just join and contribute to the green goods community garden? Also looks like the only event I can select is waste:repair - I'm down for the onboarding whenever you want!

found a cheat code... marinate chicken in chicken bouillon and lemon juice (add garlic or onion or whatever else you like)

Ethereum isn't failing. It's finally ready for materially improving the real world. Time to step out of the metaverse and into meatspace.

Dankrad is describing something we spent over a year trying to build at @OctantApp Octant v2 was designed around a simple premise: ecosystem treasuries should be structurally funding what they depend on. Not grants programs with quarterly applications. Not one-off donations. Continuous yield flowing from staked treasury ETH into the infrastructure the ecosystem runs on.. with transparency and accountability built in. We built the vault architecture and had baseline ideas around governance...We went to every major ecosystem and pitched it... Every single one said no. The reasons varied but the pattern was consistent, nobody wanted to be first, nobody wanted to commit treasury capital to a model that didn't already have momentum, and public goods funding was always someone else's problem. Time goes on, the problem didn't go away and imo it got worse. Now the ecosystem is having the same conversation we were trying to have two years ago. Solving this is still possible. The pieces exist. What's missing is the willingness from ecosystems that extract enormous value from Ethereum's security to collectively fund it. We have ideas we're actively moving forward with. My DMs are open to anyone: protocols, DAOs, treasuries... anyone who wants to be part of solving this rather than just talking about it.

Thinking of a plan to onboard some young Regens this winter. These students are in a quest to farm "Aura" when engaging with the recovery of this abandoned basketball court. They will earn NFT badges and can level up from Common > Rare > Epic > Legendary. They are pretty thrilled.

What if you could change your vote on the fly as new data and impact metrics become available? 🔀🗳️ @Paul_Glavin of @gardens_fund explains how Conviction Voting, a time-delayed voting mechanism, enables fairer and more secure governance decisions ⏳🔐 Full chat below 👇

@vpabundance @OctantApp Spot on. 🎯 @ShutterNetwork said "yes". But we're relatively small. And we seem to be the exception. If you agree with James' post, please join our experiments which build on @OctantApp v2: blog.shutter.network/shutter-champi… blog.shutter.network/introducing-th…

@0xWildhare @greengoodsapp Nice! Ping me an onboarding sesh, we're in the middle of QA so a couple bug to squash

@greenpilldevs @greengoodsapp Thanks! It's clean bc it's all very new. App installed and account created. I will explore it tomorrow

Staking just changed. Lido CSM and Obol both shipped major updates — and we're kicking off the next PGSP cohort on the back of them. Next Friday we go live: the latest on Lido + Obol, what it means for community stakers, and how to earn your ICS credential running a validator with your squad. Not a lecture. Bring your questions. Bring a node. luma.com/cweulrmi

@0xWildhare That photo looks so clean thought it was AI generated, nice stuff. Would love to onboard you onto @greengoodsapp a continuation of Camp Green to capture your work if interested.

@greenpilldevs Good! Just planted a bunch of trees, and built some raised beds for the garden

After 4 years helping build @BanklessHQ - the sponsor relationships, the community, the Discord, the Weekly Rollups - today is Day One of a new chapter. It's been the best kind of work. The kind you simply love and never get tired of. I'm now looking for what's next. My sweet spot is at the intersection of sponsor relationships, partnerships, and founders and users community - with a deep understanding of the crypto space and how projects think about brand, visibility, and Go-To-Market. If you're building something ambitious and need someone who knows this space inside out, I'd love to talk. DMs open 🙏 And to everyone at Bankless, especially @TrustlessState and @RyanSAdams, thank you for everything ❤️

In times like now having projects like this are crucial to building the regenerative future we want to see! Shoutout to @FundingCommons @torproject for bringing this together and all the funders @OctantApp @cakewallet @ZcashCommGrants @Logos_network

An open-world ‘LORD OF THE RINGS’ RPG game is officially in the works. Developed by Warhorse Studios (‘Kingdom Come Deliverance’).
