Welcome to 2026! Milady is back.
Ethereum did a lot in 2025: gas limits increased, blob count increased, node software quality improved, zkEVMs blasted through their performance milestones, and with zkEVMs and PeerDAS ethereum made its largest step toward being a fundamentally new and more powerful kind of blockchain (more on this later)
But we have a challenge: Ethereum needs to do more to meet its own stated goals. Not the quest of "winning the next meta" regardless of whether it's tokenized dollars or political memecoins, not arbitrarily convincing people to help us fill up blockspace to make ETH ultrasound again, but the mission:
To build the world computer that serves as a central infrastructure piece of a more free and open internet.
We're building decentralized applications. Applications that run without fraud, censorship or third-party interference. Applications that pass the walkaway test: they keep running even if the original developers disappear. Applications where if you're a user, you don't even notice if Cloudflare goes down - or even if all of Cloudflare gets hacked by North Korea. Applications whose stability transcends the rise and fall of companies, ideologies and political parties. And applications that protect your privacy. All this - for finance, and also for identity, governance and whatever other civilizational infrastructure people want to build.
These properties sound radical, but we must remember that a generation ago any wallet, kitchen appliance, book or car would fulfill every single one of them. Today, all of the above are by default becoming subscription services, consigning you to permanent dependence on some centralized overlord.
Ethereum is the rebellion against this.
To achieve this, it needs to be (i) usable, and usable at scale, and (ii) actually decentralized. This needs to happen at both (a) the blockchain layer, including the software we use to run and talk to the blockchain, and (b) the application layer. All of these pieces must be improved - they are already being improved, but they must be improved more.
Fortunately, we have powerful tools on our side - but we need to apply them, and we will.
Wishing everyone an exciting 2026.
Milady.

@deptulahasrage BYU v TT was 13-7 when BYU got the ball with 4:44 left in the 3rd quarter...
English

@AriWasserman Ari - what if BYU loses a close game, say 4 pts or less?
Do they finally get rewarded with that "close loss to a top team" that seems to be keeping ND ahead of them?
Those 2 losses seems to be the best thing on ND's resume and its tough BYU hasn't been able to match
English

@vincent_elric @RGIII @BYUfootball @OuttaPocketRG3 @Gretegiii BYU beat 2 teams (Utah, Arizona) better than the two teams (SMU, Louisville) Miami LOST to
Against SP+ Top 50:
BYU 7-1
Miami 4-2
ND 2-2
BYU played more games, won more games, and lost fewer games against teams good enough to beat a top 25 team
English

@RGIII @BYUfootball @OuttaPocketRG3 @Gretegiii SOR and SOS are completely flawed analytics. Byu is not better than Miami ND or almost anyone in the top 12 for that matter. They played one good team and got blown out
English

BYU should be in the College Football Playoff.
-11-1 in a Power 4 Conference Champ Game
-#6 Strength of Record
-T-Most wins over teams with a winning record
-Better SOS than Ole Miss, Notre Dame, Miami
Wins and loses matter.
Who you beat matters.
Stop persecuting Christians.

@LeBatardShow @jeremytache Dan making the point for BYU on accident is good stuff.
Miami fans want you to not make it about just one (or two) games and then will say they deserve it over BYU because of one game... against a top 5 team 😂
Against SP+ Top 50:
BYU 7-1
Miami 4-2
English

@CodyCarpentier Against SP+ top 50 teams:
BYU 7-1
Bama 6-2
Miami 4-2
ND 2-2
Texas 3-2 (another loss to team outside top 50, went to OT against two other teams outside top 50)
That *should* be the order of their rankings. Wild that it's not.
English

Tuesday Nights CFP Rankings... *SHOULD* look like
1. Ohio State 🔒
2. Indiana 🔒
3. Georgia 🔒
4. Texas Tech 🔒
5. Oregon 🔒
6. Texas A&M 🔒
7. Ole Miss 🔒
8. Oklahoma 🔒
9. Notre Dame (Out IF BOTH Alabama/BYU WIN)
10. Texas (Out IF Alabama OR BYU win Conference Title)
11. Alabama (In with Win, Out with Loss)
12. Vanderbilt (Out)
13. BYU (In with Win, Out with Loss)
14. Miami (Out)
15. Utah (Out)
G5: Tulane or JMU (Auto Lock)
ACC: Virginia (Auto Lock)

@PumpHustler @machinedex @peaq @silencioNetwork @AukiNetwork @OVRtheReality Your liquidity position has a range with a lower price and upper price current price has moved outside of that range. So at the moment you are not providing active liquidity for volume on that pool

@machinedex @peaq @silencioNetwork @AukiNetwork @OVRtheReality wow, its cooking

@RyanSAdams I'm strongly in favor of 3. I would probably describe myself as a 3-accelerationist 😂

Was at a crypto event tonight with people from all different ecosystems. When the Kanye coin dropped all the Solana people got out their laptops and were monitoring the situation. Everyone else was milling about wondering what was going on. If you want to be part of the action build in Solana.
If you want to build where things are happening, build on Solana.
If you want to build on a chain that can handle price discovery on a brand new multi billion dollar asset without even breaking a sweat, build on Solana.

"Monetary properties" is technobabble.
1. People actually prefer and use stablecoins as money; not volatile crypto tokens. If you look at my attached thread about people who are actually using tokens as money (surprise! They're stables), you'll see no one is mimicing them with any crypto-native tokens.
2. Abstraction tools/layers allow any onchain denomination of cost to be paid for with any form of value. Thus no token is "money" more than any other.
3. Chainlink is currently moving to production with SWIFT and UBS on a fund tokenizaton workflow, where onchain tokenized fund subscription and redemption can be fulfilled via off-chain cash in bank accounts using SWIFT rails.
So, now, not only are all forms of onchain value interchangeable "money", but even off-chain cash will be money for on-chain, too. (see image)
3. Trillions of dollars' worth of RWAs will be tokenized and not a single one of them will be denominated in anything other than the dominant fiat currencies.

we asked 326 people about stablecoins use, across 6 countries we stepped into their shoes, talked about their families and daily lives. how they actually use USDT, USDC, exchanges and crypto cards. here's what we found 🧵
