(soft) introducing monchain!

recently ive been working on something fun. 

something i hope can bring all lots of evm frens together in these trying times.

monchain is a pvp game aspiring to be the pokemon x smash bros x mugen for onchain communities 

here's a sneak peek:

Anyone else noticing that the Farcaster timeline is suddenly snapping to the latest meta within minutes?

many such challenges. keep the asset native, or suffer the inevitable black swan.

I want to say.. that's what speculation *should* be. Not degenerate gambling, but a way to formally send resource allocation signals towards building your ideal future world.

Speculation should be imagining a glorious future, and doing your part to make it happen.

this is the linchpin of the entire state. crackpots constantly believe in some technological breakthrough, speculate their entire lifetime on it, and eventually mainstream adoption pumps the economy OOM above the societal costs.

ironically, I think people really want DeSci to work as a skeuomorph, so they ship something like pumpdotscience. or, iteratooors will err on shares of future events. 

emissions-based prediction markets seem to be working out well, but they definitely haven't generalized to every aspect of the ideal future world I'm looking forward to.

until then, I will be an $ETH degenerate

Why did everyone suddenly start talking about Danny Ryan? Never heard about this guy before and now he should be leading the EF? Sounds like a Psyop but who would have an interest in pushing this?

should it be taken seriously, or not?

Just to fill you in: I left the EF last year due to health issues and in an attempt to clear my head after working my ass off exclusively at the EF and on Ethereum for seven years.

I stepped aside, and the EF and the broader Ethereum ecosystem moved on without missing a beat—new…

wrt Ethereum schisms, I don't think propriety was ever an option, markets are indicators of popularity, and it is difficult to remain unpopular and tapped into the zeitgeist simultaneously.

so I am fundamentally opposed to subjective narratives of propriety within the pluralism of such a colossal ecosystem. 

personally, I think we're dancing around what is low-tech and not venture scale, but still critical to growth. a lot of the strategy is formally forced, but I would propose that the social layer is missing the one atomic role that can "eat the mess".

PvP is boring in comparison to Team vs Team, just a simple fact, and team leads make messes, shout into the void, and eat glass.

we need leaders like @zachxbt to not burn out as they informally fill such roles. there is a common, pragmatic balance (just like R/R curve can be less jagged) we just have to ballpark it.

yes, many like @consensys can do better, onchain.
I think Stani is right about focusing EF, but there is a dual mandate shared with the EC.

here's some tweets:

"show me the incentive, and I'll show you the outcome"
what if it's not incentives, but stressors?

the EC (Ethereum Community) consists of all institutions, question remains how each "compiler" runs on that level. the EF (Ethereum Foundation) consists of @vitalik.eth, a RISC-like discovery of the foremost, technological research.

EC should acclimate to stressors, so the EF is not distressed.

role progression is a stressor sink, tech progression is a predictable dilemma sink.

nice to have:

governance would have two main branches: client teams + research groups making up an expert assembly, and the commons stakeholders assembly. both can make and vote on(and veto) proposals for future upgrades. the commons can vote to add…

not sure where the most compelling quote is, but it is often said that any gap in communication is the edge for adversaries to miscommunicate your reality.

maybe some controversies need the messy adjudication on the social layer, but I think Ethereum's social debt lies in those that are frustrated w/o pressure release, and the consistent march of low-level community leadership will win that war, even if right now the battle seems lost.
