Connection is what makes us human; seek relationships that nurture your soul and inspire your growth every day.

Life's most profound lessons often come wrapped in challenges, teaching us resilience and the importance of perseverance.

Music transcends all cultural boundaries.

The greatest stories are often written by those who dare to step outside their comfort zones and explore.

Every moment spent in gratitude enriches our lives, reminding us of the beauty that exists in everyday experiences.

In a world of uncertainty, let your passion guide you through the darkness toward the light of possibility.

Summer of Protocols

Starting next week, we'll be presenting the work from the Summer of Protocols '24 cohort across a Protocol Symposium & Unconference ☀️

We'll kick things off with an overview session on Sep 17th, then have daily sessions by each research team, wrapping up with a two day protocol-themed unconference on Sep 27 & 28. 

Teams this year worked on projects ranging from adding E2EE to ActivityPub, improving controlled wildfire protocols, analyzing how the IETF stewards various internet protocols, and a bunch of other things. 

We also gave several small grants to individuals to prototype what we've called "Protocol PILLs": neat little projects to protocol-pill people 💊 

All the info is here: https://summerofprotocols.com/protocol-symposium-2024 !

Protocol Symposium kicks off tomorrow ☀️ 

Will keep a running thread of the daily sessions here. @vgr  and I will kick things off tomorrow with an overview of the SoP '24 research, future SoP plans, and how to participate throughout the week 😁

Warpcast

Q: how does @warpcast decide when to show an expanded frame Vs. the collapsed version with the View/Mint button? So far I found it happens when:

1. there's another image or link
2. quote casts
3. frame URL only in cast.embeds[], not the cast body

And, is there a way to control this with the frame `fc:` metatags?

What’s your favorite way to get a steppable simulation of a tx that has occurred on an evm chain?

matcha

ok gotta brag for a second (and share some lore):

@levitatebars in the back is the gigabrain engineer behind @matchaxyz’s routing diagram

the best traders want to aggregate across sources (less price impact) and to know the sources, but it’s v hard to show this in such a beautiful way BUT matcha (fannie) did it

The most frictionless experience to search and trade over 7 million tokens across 130+ DEXes and 12 chains. It happens on /matcha 🍵.
