This week in building /quilibrium (Publishing early, thunderstorm inbound and will likely lose power tonight) (On protocol) - Incorporated domain separation of prover outputs (allows optionality in the event we have a graceful recursion proof that can be applied atop the MPC-in-the-head proofs) - Dynamic fee market testing has held strong from last week, so we published an overview (and small ELI5): https://paragraph.xyz/@quilibrium.com/dynamic-fee-markets (Off protocol) - We're reorganizing the documentation section of the site to be an open source repo detached from the main site and on a separate subdomain, will be less flashy, but also removes the heavy branded assets and bridge interface stuff so people can contribute to it instead of there needing to be so many unofficial guides.

This week, Q Inc has changed course with speaking with investors. Given I receive a lot of cold opens from investors on Farcaster, I would like to share that change with everyone publicly, and why. Moving forward, we refuse to even begin conversations with funds who have ever (or intend to) engaged in token warrants. It is clear our values and beliefs are diametrically opposed, and this is a far easier filter to save ourselves the time. It has been a long path to fundraising principally because we are operating from a perspective that as a company collaborating on a fair launched project, we can not and will not do token warrants. Despite being upfront about this, this topic has resulted in a lot of time wasted in talking with crypto funds, because they do not believe equity has a path to return for them, and ultimately decline. This is very telling because if they don't believe the company will be successful what use are the tokens, unless...?

Years ago, when I started building a decentralized discord clone, people asked me why. I wanted a communication tool that was truly decentralized, in a way that no state actor was able to gain control over. Signal's design wasn't capable of group chats beyond a certain size. The features only went so far. And it has failure points such that countries block them by firewall and have to rely on the good graces of others to run proxies, which ultimately get shut down or blocked too. App stores do not share in this ideal — their concern is profit, and will bend backwards when forced to by regulatory bodies. Amazon and others are complicit in helping state actors maintain their control of the web, and are profiting handsomely from the arrangement. None of this happened by accident. And I only saw it getting worse. I realized what I was building in this chat application went beyond just chat, and how pressing it was to make this general purpose.
