I’m excited to announce the 21 startups we’ve selected to join our Crypto Startup Accelerator (CSX) Fall 2024 cohort, which starts this week. 

Over the next 8 weeks, they’ll get firsthand lessons from top crypto founders, receive guidance and support from @a16zcrypto’s investing and operating teams, and build connections with each other and the broader a16z network.

The CSX Fall 2024 companies are coming to NYC from 11 different countries, and they’re building on every level of the crypto stack, including AI, DeFi, infrastructure, and consumer applications such as photo sharing and mapping. 

We’re thrilled to partner with each of these CSX companies on their journey to product market fit. https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/announcing-the-csx-fall-2024-cohort/

Amazing work on shipping Dencun!

Can't believe how smooth it went. Great work by all Ethereum client teams!

While blob-enabled L2 gas prices are very cheap right now, we can expect them to increase a bit over time as demand for blobs increases.

This is expected behavior & is why 4844 is only the beginning - blobs are an evolving primitive & are part of the wider danksharding roadmap.

TVL is not the goal; TVL is a necessary evil. Every dollar locked in a (especially immature) protocol instead of being locked in a simple and secure wallet is to some extent a security risk.

Sometimes we have to take that risk to get valuable benefits, but locking for the sake of locking should be minimized.

Co-Founder at sablier.com, and open-source developer. I have a broad range of interests, including longevity, epistemology, physics, and psychology.

The amount of time and energy we as an industry spend on engineering complex applications and even cheer for it is one of the major bottlenecks for mainstream adoption. Complexity in engineering isn't a badge of honor, it's often a burden! So let's start cheering for simplicity!
