Economics

Meta has hit 1.5T valuation. Founder-led companies outperform their peers. And I wouldn’t be surprised if they hit 10T in the next 10 years

Base

AMA - will be answering questions for the next ~1-2 hours!

@base builder #001; onchain cities w/ OAK & city3

How do you think the industry's perception impacts our ability to deliver on crypto's full potential, both in terms of technology and culture?

That's a very good point. It should be very green

Why is the aesthetic of gyms, even the good ones, always so lifeless? Always black and grey and white everywhere. I want fans blowing air in my face at 12 km/h and a simulation of running along a forest path in a magical fantasy world .... or at least some plants.

Every time I zoom out and think about how strategic Pacman was in spending capital to out-perform overfunded incumbents, I get impressed all over again.

India’s gold imports rose to $10.06 billion in August, a new all-time high.

This is the equivalent of 131 tonnes of gold, the 6th-highest monthly volume on record! 📈📈📈

I received a few shorts from different people with deepfakes of Joe Rogan and Elon Musk. And the people that sent me the deepfakes didn’t know they were fake videos and they are above average IQ.

Interesting to see the cat out of the bag

We want to express our gratitude to @optimism governance for approving Base's grant request of 3 million OP (~$5 million USDC). The approval will kick off an incentive program rewarding DeFi builders on Base for boosting their ETH and BTC TVL

We’re excited about the role that Base is already playing to grow the Superchain: In our first year, we contributed 2625 ETH ($6.7M) in revenue and account for >70% of transactions

More details about the incentive program will be coming soon

Note: Base will not be incentivizing specific pools or user activity

See the full proposal: https://gov.optimism.io/t/cycle-27-grants-final-roundup/8885

one superteam,
one superdream:
scaling the superchain.
