Performance reviews are daunting and a lot of work, but after you get deep into revisiting what everyone has achieved over the last year the pride is incomparable. The team ships. 🥲

Memecoins have been around for a while and haven't changed much. They aren't going away, but they won't be a source of lasting innovation either. Memecoins are just a symptom of other powerful and promising phenomena on the web: memes, social networks, permissionless verified computation, and more. Focus on those.

I just got a peek of the tech tree for Jolt and it's incredible: one of the best learning opportunities in crypto and we have a budget for external contributors. Jolt is the simplest zkVM by a long shot.

Interesting example of a bot that reads channel names, generates a generic platitude, and then posts it in the channel. Likely farming reputation, followers, etc.

Jolt Alpha it out and it's crazy fast with more optimization opportunities remaining than any other zkVM. Since uses a many-round polynomial IOP based on sum-check + a commitment scheme for multilinear polynomials, it hasn't had all the eyes on it (like other methods). Lots of low-hanging fruit to PROVE FAST.

What are the strongest arguments for and against L3s? Assuming they’re properly secured (zk or fault dispute game).

How many Eddies have their name misspelled "Eddy" all the time? Sometimes I have people message me "hey Eddie!" in a group chat where my name is on the screen. Not sure how this happens.

When memecoins have a moment, people who know better make tortured rationalizations. Normally they might see casino behavior as zero-sum or short-term, but fomo can use the full intellect to justify itself with elaborate stories. gm to people building crypto's real potential ☀️

Here's a new protocol out of our research lab: a market for atomic data exchange. Could use this to create a market for expired 4844 blob data, or other witness data after statelessness comes to Ethereum. What do you think? https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/new-paper-alert-fair-data-exchange/

Taxing by inflating the money supply is so tempting politically because peoples’ first instinct is to blame the retailer for price changes. It’s not intuitive to identify the problem in the money.

Everyone knows what a wheel’s “spokes” are. The outer rims are called “felloes” and were made with bent, heated wood in the bronze age.

Had a huge breakthrough on a protocol design today and it came from drawing the protocol on a whiteboard and immediately seeing a visual metaphor leap out.

Do not accept anti-dilution provisions or fixed token allocations in deals with VCs. I've been seeing too many companies with provisions like this in term sheets. https://x.com/milesjennings/status/1744790973891371213
