In Web3, we thought giving early contributors tokens to a project would incentivize participation. Instead, it incentivized greed.

@rocksolidHQ @CastleIslandVC @Rocket_Pool @GSR_io @KindredVentures @theBBFund @IDEOVC @StanfordSBA 👏 congrats!!!

@GarethAFuller Why do we have to leave Arc?

Ok, I think it's finally time to start considering other browsers. Where do I go from Arc?

We’ve been delighted to collaborate with and learn from @lalalavendr & @eliza_oak from the @OptimismGov team in researching and designing @butterygg's grant scope. Together, we’ve laid the groundwork for an exciting, collaborative experiment in futarchy-managed grant funding!

It was an excellent day and amazing to see how far the @UniswapFND and Uniswap ecosystem have come over the last year Thank you to @keighstone @JoinEdgeCity @Uniswap and all of our community contributors for your support in making this happen see you at the next one 😉🦄

It was incredible to watch these tier 1 operators in action last week, and we're already seeing tangible outputs in the forum. Can't wait for GovSwap II: This Time in Europe (name pending approval cc @keighstone @JanineLeger) and the rest of our 2024 agenda.

probably the best dao onsite activity ever

This year, I anticipate Uniswap to lead the way in developing decentralized governance for protocols that have reached scale. The @UniswapFND team has been making major, impactful changes. You may want to pay attention 👀

I've been looking forward to sharing this news for a long time! @NascentSecurity is a new type of security team incubated by @nascentxyz It does NOT do: ❌ portfolio services ❌ private bookings It DOES do: ✅ public competitions (e.g. @code4rena @immunefi) ✅ public goods

s/o to @otterspace_xyz & @optimismFND for the work they are doing to build & implement (respectively) rep systems

Reputation systems are vital in Web3 but we need to implement tools that address the underlying need.
