crypto bros can literally just sit around and name old defi protocols and just have the best time.

Very self-important of me to put my OOO dates in my slack/tg name a full 3 days before I’m actually out

I write about internet culture at TechCrunch and I am only here to make fun of my brother

@amandas is cooler than me again https://techcrunch.com/2024/07/23/theres-a-lot-more-to-the-kamala-harris-memes-than-you-think/

i've never taken a deeper sigh in my life

Soda Streams are the greatest invention of the 21st century

if i hypothetically did some talk/workshop around superchain data, what would be fun to cover?

Retro Funding 4 rewarded projects based on how they performed on metrics selected and weighted by badgeholders. 

Badgeholders gave additional rewards to projects that qualified for a set of Open Source criteria.

(personal opinion)
I've been arms length, but this is actually super refreshing.

Indicators of "what are people willing to spend resources for" (gas fees) and "higher-signal metrics" (trusted users vs active addresses) are what the people want.

Ostritch galore, happening *right now* on /safaricaster

you're debating politics, some rando cryptographic primitive, decentralization, public goods funding, AI, etc

meanwhile, @jameskim is having a blast watching ostriches

If there was a cool lil collective of data analysis, tooling, datasets, dashboards, and people within the /optimism Collective...

What would you call that group? Need name ideas.

The pivot from Optimism being one chain (OP Mainnet) to focusing on the Superchain has been a journey - the 2H will make it all a reality.

🪙 $13 billion in total assets on the Superchain

Finally, we're working towards a new decentralization milestone, which we call "STAGE 1.5" 

First, let's recap the Rollup Stage Framework

• Proposed by Vitalik and tracked by L2BEAT
• Tracks progressive decentralization -- as rollups get more mature and we build more confidence, we can gradually take the (human) training wheels off and get to a place where rollups and txns are adjudicated by code
• OP Mainnet is at Stage 1 today, with other OP Chains to follow soon this summer 
• But we don't want to jump straight from Stage 1 to Stage 2, because Stage 2 means effectively removing the human backup. How do we do this safely??
