What does "hardening the commons" actually look like in practice? @vgr, @trent, @js, Sam Chua and I are hosting a workshop today at 3:30 to go deep into it! https://app.devcon.org/schedule/BMTVJK

- When I write that blockchains can be used for "governance" I don't mean for the subjective pieces of it, but rather for the "hard mechanisms" that governance often requires (e.g. tally up the votes from the following identities). When I write blockchains can be used for "law" I'm referring to things like financial derivative contracts, which are for many people just as good or better when made from blockchain-hardness than institutional-hardness. - The full original post has a lot more depth on all the nuances above, and the precise ways we have to talk about this, just couldn't fit it all in this brief post: https://stark.mirror.xyz/n2UpRqwdf7yjuiPKVICPpGoUNeDhlWxGqjulrlpyYi0

A few thoughts: - Hardness is not about explaining blockchains, but really about explaining the category of things to which blockchains belong. It is just true that blockchains (ethereum), institutions (the fed), and atoms (gold) can all be used to create a money, and it bothers me that we haven't had a conceptually clear story for why that is the case. What do they share that enables them to be used for the same application? - "Strict global consensus" describes something true about blockchains, but i don't think it is sufficient for the above purpose. Based on how I understand you to define the term, I think "strict global consensus" is missing a notion of "confidence in the future". A blockchain that reaches strict global consensus once cannot be a foundation for money or conditional financial relationships. We must have justified confidence that it will keep reaching strict global consensus in the future, and that the rules it uses to do so won't materially change.

I recently wrote down some ideas on how to built a high throughput L2. Some of the design decisions that I would take (and that I suspect other rollups take as well) and why they can't be done on mainnet Ethereum. Check it out! https://mariusvanderwijden.github.io/blog/2024/07/12/L2s/
