When you launch on Ethereum, you’re plugging into the strongest ecosystem in crypto. Infra, talent, capital, culture, standards - it’s all already here. You don’t need a centralized org to productize everything. You can just build, and if it resonates, it becomes part of the fabric. Ethena is a great example, from an Arthur Hayes blog post to a $5B protocol, all by tapping into Ethereum’s existing liquidity, infrastructure, and developer mindshare 🧵 👇 https://x.com/akshaybd/status/1910293553344872539

It’s a bit like TCP/IP, no one had to sell it because it was the best foundation to build on. Over time, that drew the best people, tools, and use cases. Ethereum’s the same. You don’t win because someone’s pushing you, you win because the gravity of the ecosystem pulls everything in your direction

That said I do think the Ethereum Foundation can do more to support the app layer, not by acting like a growth engine, but by making sure builders are heard and meaningfully connected to the right people, context, and resources. This is part of what I’m focused on

I like the metaphor. Are we too tunnel visioned on cranking up the gravity, when we should be moving more things closer to the event horizon? Lots of gravity wells out there, some may be more advantageously positioned to consume things before they reach ethereum.
