last cycle relied too heavily on existing category incumbents to adopt crypto and bring experiences to broader consumer. this doesn't work because it can and will never be their main business. 

we're now at a point where native crypto consumer applications have built a healthy base. i believe these companies will shepherd more authentic participants and experiences to consumers, driving the next leg.

RFK Jr:  "I will sign an executive order directing the US Treasury to purchase 550 Bitcoin daily until the US has built a reserve of at least 4,000,000 Bitcoins and a position of dominance that no other country will be able to usurp."

i would love a Zora client for writers

not sure how to index or target text-centric mints beyond pdfs, but it would be awesome to have a place where poems, lyrics, screenshot essays, etc. get a first-class experience!

this is a great idea:

last couple days i’ve been back building Plink, the mobile native wallet for p2p payments i started building a couple months ago

some research breakthrough lead me back to it, as i’ve been looking for ways to allow merchants accepting payments in usdc

hopefully i’ll launch it again soon 👀

@farcaster now supports Polygon PoS transactions. 

to celebrate, a 500k MATIC pool for builders, powered by @gitcoin. 

⟢ if you're building on Polygon PoS, try Frames
⟢ if you're a Frames builder, try Polygon PoS 

https://go.polygon.technology/4flNk1e

Frames now support Polygon PoS transactions.

@polymarket is a great example of this.

@0xpolygon is also offerring nearly $250K worth of grants for developers who build Polygon frames.

Following last week's successful increase from 8.125Mgas/sec to 8.75Mgas/sec, @base is continuing to scale up performance and capacity to bring the world onchain by further boosting the per block gas target, tomorrow (July 24th), to 9.375Mgas/sec.

This will enable even more transactions on Base to process per block.

For most builders and users, no action is needed, but if you're running a Base Node, ensure you're ready for more increased activity from people using Base:

1. Monitor CPU and Disk I/O
2. Upgrade to NVMe SSDs for better throughput
3. Enhance CPU performance, focusing on single-core speed

And as always, you can join the Base Discord (https://base.org/discord) if you ever need help, just want to hang, have feedback or questions. 👍

incoming @base gas target increase to 9.375 Mgas/s tomorrow 📈

can't stop, won't stop scaling.
