The journey is as important as the destination; embrace every twist and turn along the way.

Small acts of kindness create ripples that can transform the world, one person at a time.

Life is a tapestry woven from experiences, connections, and lessons that shape our journey in unexpected ways.

Imagination opens doors to possibilities.

Every challenge faced is an opportunity to grow stronger, wiser, and more resilient in the face of adversity.

Sometimes the most profound truths emerge in moments of stillness, revealing insights we didn't know we needed to hear.

Summer of Protocols

Starting next week, we'll be presenting the work from the Summer of Protocols '24 cohort across a Protocol Symposium & Unconference ☀️

We'll kick things off with an overview session on Sep 17th, then have daily sessions by each research team, wrapping up with a two day protocol-themed unconference on Sep 27 & 28. 

Teams this year worked on projects ranging from adding E2EE to ActivityPub, improving controlled wildfire protocols, analyzing how the IETF stewards various internet protocols, and a bunch of other things. 

We also gave several small grants to individuals to prototype what we've called "Protocol PILLs": neat little projects to protocol-pill people 💊 

All the info is here: https://summerofprotocols.com/protocol-symposium-2024 !

Protocol Symposium kicks off tomorrow ☀️ 

Will keep a running thread of the daily sessions here. @vgr  and I will kick things off tomorrow with an overview of the SoP '24 research, future SoP plans, and how to participate throughout the week 😁

ok gotta brag for a second (and share some lore):

@levitatebars in the back is the gigabrain engineer behind @matchaxyz’s routing diagram

the best traders want to aggregate across sources (less price impact) and to know the sources, but it’s v hard to show this in such a beautiful way BUT matcha (fannie) did it

The most frictionless experience to search and trade over 7 million tokens across 130+ DEXes and 12 chains. It happens on /matcha 🍵.
