Public good funding in itself is a private good, and sometimes a club good when OGs only donate to their friends. This is why it all comes down to good governance of public good funding. To optimise for the long-term, we need donors to adopt fairer and more transparent distribution mechanisms. Reputation metrics should go beyond 'who knows whom' but recipients also need to be held accountable based on verifiable impact.

"When we hear "decentralization is the only way to build in my country" from someone in a place where democracy is broken, it reminds us how Ethereum's technical choices carry profound human implications."

[email protected] on why blockchains and ZK are great complements: 'I consider zero-knowledge proofs as important as blockchains. […] Blockchains give you an open global audit trail, permissionlessness, censorship-resistance and more, but at the cost of privacy and scalability. What are the two things that ZK-SNARKS give you? They give you privacy and scalability.' https://youtu.be/S2Ybi2rVoIs?si=3cdbztu1Bh22g75k

Many talk about dapps but some actually do something. :) @orishim is an EF EcoDev Research Fellow and looking to talk to anyone building or just interested in decentralised marketplaces. He's looking to identify which existing apps, relevant infrastructure in place and missing pieces. Who should he talk to?

Warpcast on #Farcaster, Bluesky on #ATProtocol, Mastodon on #ActivityPub: The successors of Twitter are more open, decentralised and interoperable, but ironically only within their protocols. Will Farcaster, AT Protocol and ActivityPub ever become interoperable?

Testing @yup for cross-posting on Twitter, Farcaster (https://warpcast.com/theobtl) and Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/theobtl.bsky.social).
