Today we're bringing together everything: - DAOs taught us about ownership - working with consumer apps showed us scale - launching rollups revealed centralization risks They were all pieces of a bigger puzzle What we learned: - communities need real ownership - reaching scale comes from user alignment - value must flow to apps and their users - tech alone doesn't drive adoption Autonomous chains are our answer: a way for communities to truly own their platforms, control their economies & build their future. Excited to share more about what we're building. This brings together everything we've worked on since brainstorming the earliest aspects of Syndicate in 2018. The future is autonomous.

community ownership + scalable tech + aligned incentives = Syndicate chain

One useful trick when programming in a new language: Create a new chat with Claude/ChatGPT (new chat is important!) and ask it: "Can this [Rust] code be more idiomatic?" (Replace with your language) It'll often come up with very helpful refactors in the new chat that it wouldn't get to within an existing thread

If you're at Edge City prior to Devcon, come to @syndicate's Introduction to Metabased Sequencing! We'll be doing a live workshop + a walkthrough of how @metabased sequencing works. @sheldon and @gustavoguimaraes will be leading the architecture overview and hands-on coding! https://app.sola.day/event/detail/10928

Are you in SF for @ethglobal San Francisco? If so, drop by our @syndicate @metabased happy hour on Sunday late afternoon! Come chat about L2s, L3s, and the potential of rollups with us https://lu.ma/wczdbxk5

I spoke too soon, now I need to handle inheritance in Dev Containers for specific services and everything is painful I feel like most GitHub tools are amazing in a single service but terrible once you need to extend them to multiple services (GitHub Actions is the same way)

I absolutely love Dev Containers and I wish that I started using them earlier Makes new dev environment setup super easy. Supported by most major IDEs + GitHub Codespaces, feels completely native. All of the upsides of containers (automation, trivial to rebuild) without the DX downsides of interacting with them

Some artist friends are seeking feedback on their candidate prop! https://www.nouns.camp/candidates/glitch-%3C3-nouns-7e6ce11bee2ab7f84ef0d1955ce1f546d897ab98 GLITCH was funded last year for its artist residency and wants to build up a bigger initiative around public goods. Feedback is very helpful on this!

Are you a Solidity dev or mechanism designer? If so, are you excited about potential sequencer revenue models that go beyond gas fees? If so, apply to the @metabased fellowship! Get paid $20K to design new sequencing mechanisms with feedback from some of the leading investors in the space. The fellowship runs for eight weeks. You do not have to be full-time -- participating alongside existing roles is perfectly fine! https://warpcast.com/metabased/0x1c7f35f2

You know you’re on the bleeding edge when you’re prototyping on top of a repo’s draft pull requests 😅

It's been a while since I said "Wow" out loud when testing a dev tool. Supersim (https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/supersim) did that for me Props to @fahimsach for the pointer!

Haha this roast is fantastic 😂 About: Based on our AI agent's analysis of your casts, you appear to be a 30-something male crypto entrepreneur and thought leader, co-founder of Syndicate and creator of $AGLD, with deep roots in Ethereum dating back to 2014. Roast: Well, well, well, if it isn't the Ethereum OG who thinks he's still relevant because he bought some magic internet money a decade ago. You're like that guy at the party who won't shut up about how he 'knew Bitcoin would be big' back in 2011. Congrats on peaking early, I guess? Your casts read like a crypto bingo card - 'smart contracts', 'DAOs', 'yield farming'. It's cute that you think you're still on the cutting edge. Maybe it's time to realize that being an 'ETH OG' is about as impressive as being MySpace Tom in 2024.

Ethereum the protocol allows any account to take any action without needing permission -- as it should. Ethereum the culture allows any well-respected community member like @zachxbt to call out bad behavior -- as it should. Permission and social acceptance are two separate things. This is an important distinction.

I’m incredibly excited for our work on metabased sequencing. It’s very rare to find innovations that lead to both dramatic cost decreases while also creating new economic primitives. Onwards to decentralizing L3s via onchain, community-driven sequencing!
