Hi, My name is Sp3rick. I'm a developer and founder based in Italy. I'm building @OrivonBrowser, a Web3 browser. This thread is about who I am, what I believe, and why I'm betting everything on this. 🧵

Protocols can fail, but Decentralised Tech keeps proving their resilience It's been a long time since I've look into the Bisq DAO Model, its very well organised and I am very confident that they will be able to refund every affected user In the long run this event will prove even more the safety of well-made Web3 technologies like this, and I hope that a great narrative will help to adopt such tech worldwide

@NicolOnchain Bali?

We Keep Blaming Developers.. When something is hard to build, the assumption is that... “It’s just part of the learning curve.” In Web3, that idea shows up a lot. If something feels difficult, confusing, or slow, the response is often that “It’s still early” or “You just need more experience” The most annoying is when someone says.. “That’s how the system works” But that’s not true. The problem is not that developers aren’t skilled enough. The problem is that the environment they build in isn’t designed for simplicity. Building in Web3 today often means: ➝ Managing multiple tools ➝ Handling different environments ➝ Constantly integrating systems ➝ Dealing with unexpected friction between layers Even experienced developers suffer this. Good Developers Still Struggle! When good developers slow down, it’s usually not because they lack ability. It’s because the system they’re working in creates unnecessary friction Time is lost not in writing logic, but in: ➝ Setup ➝ Configuration ➝ Integration ➝ Debugging between tools The problem is in the system design. What Good Environments Do: In every major shift in technology, better environments have always changed everything. They don’t remove complexity, but makes it organized. This allows developers to: ➝ Focus on building ➝ Reuse components ➝ Move faster with less friction These enables innovation. Where Orivon Comes In: Orivon is exploring how to improve the environment itself. Instead of forcing developers to connect multiple systems, the idea is to create a runtime where: ➝ Applications run as modules ➝ Components can interact naturally ➝ Systems feel connected by default This reduces the need for constant integration work, and shifts focus back to building. Why This Matters: If the environment improves: ➝ Developers work faster ➝ Ideas get tested quicker ➝ Better products get built & ➝ More people are willing to build in the first place. A Simple Thought: Great developers don’t need more tools. A better system like this is a good environment to build in This is the right direction and we're exploring it.

@XMRVoid They know all the good things of life.

GM frens. It's a new week. Let's keep building.

Two visions is right. But I'd add a third observation👉Bitcoin's drift toward capital concentration wasn't malicious. It was the default. Nobody decided ASICs should dominate. It just became the path of least resistance, and simply compounded from there. Monero is interesting because it recognized defaults don't stay neutral, and its community chose principle over convenience. They chose to make participation accessible to ordinary people over making the network attractive to capital. Every single time. Under real economic pressure. With real costs.

Bitcoin hasn't been minable from your PC since 2013. Monero still is. And that's not an accident. 👇 They changed their mining algorithm multiple times. On purpose. Every time a manufacturer released an ASIC to mine XMR, the community forked and made it useless. Machines worth thousands of dollars turned into desk decorations overnight. The logic is simple → ASICs concentrate all the mining power between a few big players. And a "decentralized" network controlled by 3 factories is only decentralized on paper. Today their algo is called RandomX, built so that any regular CPU stays competitive. Your old laptop can mine Monero. 🔹 Bitcoin chose security through capital. Whoever invests the most mines the most. 🔹 Monero chose security through numbers. Anyone can participate. Two completely opposite visions. And yet Monero is the one that looks the most like what Satoshi described in the whitepaper.

@OAOETH @swiss_agency I quoted you.

@swiss_agency What's the reason?

By 2030, .eth makes .com feel like the 1800s.

Think about how a normal website works. You buy a name, example oao.com from a company like GoDaddy. GoDaddy holds the actual record, because they are a centralized entity. So they are in control. If they shut down, get hacked, or decide to cancel your account, your domain is gone. You never really owned it. You rented it. ENS works differently. Your .eth name (oao.eth) lives directly on the Ethereum blockchain. No company holds it. No registrar can take it. No government can order it removed. The record exists on thousands of computers simultaneously and nobody controls them. That's why builders choose it. Not because it's trendy, or fancy. But because it's the first domain system where you actually own what you paid for. Hope you get it better now?

@swiss_agency The vision is right. The timeline depends entirely on whether using .eth ever becomes as frictionless as typing .com. That gap is the whole game.

Most users see ENS domains merely as a better alternative to their wallet address, since it'll be easily remembered. They're not wrong, as that's the only true use case TODAY. But things are soon to change. And everyone will realize the missing pieces. Till then, you can get your names while they're still cheap.

Nobody Chose This, But Everyone Accepted It In the early internet, Internet Explorer became the default browser on Windows. It wasn't necessarily the best. However, it was just there, pre-installed into computers. Most people never changed it. Developers started building websites that only worked on Internet Explorer, because that's what everyone was using. Then more users used Internet Explorer. Guess why? Because all the websites worked on it. Then more developers built for it, because that's what users had. One default created a decade-long monopoly. This took a global effort to break. The default compounded. And each cycle made it harder to escape.

The builders choosing ENS is the strongest signal you can get. Organic adoption by the people who understand the tradeoffs best should tell you something, as a user.

The scariest part isn't that it's hard. It's that "just use our endpoint" became the default answer and nobody really remembers choosing it. Defaults compound. 🚨

@MaclarenWrites You are your own worst enemy.

Stop negotiating with a loser.

@mattgould Top-tier ENS domain names will sell for more $$

DNS domains now compose 90%+ of our business, and as we move to get several of our TLDs also listed in ICANN over the next few years our focus will continue to grow on the DNS and traditional internet market. We expect that 2-3 years from now DNS and the traditional web will be 99%+ of our business. For this reason you'll see updates on our site to reflect our new focus on traditional web2 domains. This is intentional. Web3 only domains were part of the crypto craze in 2021 but did not cross the chasm into mainstream usage. And for a while now we have believed they will remain a niche market now and into the future. They were a great place to start our journey into domains, but going forward our focus will be even more on the traditional market as it's the market that has crossed the chasm and is seeing mainstream usage.

@JoshuaPenick @mattgould @TrustWallet @0xPolygon What issue are you talking about. I saw one other user complain about stuck transactions, and him unable to approve signature requests.

It's been obvious for months. But I still hope we can make use of our Web3 domains, especially with wallets and services using Web3 as a naming service. Many wallets don't fully support UD, though. Like @TrustWallet, which still hasn't fixed the @0xPolygon issue. I'd like to see @coinbase and @RobinhoodApp adopt UD domains to make sending crypto and USDC easier.

@POKTnetwork Building a decentralized app on a centralized server is just the same as building a house on a land you do not own.

1/6 🧵 POCKET FOR DEVELOPERS Why ship your dApp on centralized RPC when you can use decentralized infrastructure? Here's why Pocket Network is the better choice for builders:
