Reminder: the vast majority of users don't care about decentralization. Developers do! And a minority of ideologically principled users care. But the much bigger market is solving user problems. And if you have enough users, developers will be willing to tolerate your centralization.

Instead of asking “when token?” We should be asking “why token?”

if you're asking "why do we need another chain?" (some of you) then i implore you to read @liam.eth's post on why he joined Tempo and see if it changes your perspective. sharing a snippet but the full read is 100% worthwhile: https://liamhorne.com/tempo also worth reading: x.com/zcabrams/status/1963640969183859116

ETHDenver is a week earlier than normal and going to be in a new location next year

Opportunity for video creators to win $5,000: Make a video by September 22 about Packy McCormick’s essay, The Electric Slide. Also, here’s a free content niche idea. Help promote lengthy essays by Substack writers through short-form videos about their concepts. Many writers write because they’re not as comfortable with creating videos. Video is an important distribution method and they’d likely appreciate the organic marketing.

Payments is an essential (and complex) use case that crypto doesn’t serve well enough… yet ⚡️ Excited to see Matt take this on with tempo.xyz!) More focus on payments execution in crypto is good—there is so much to build!

A lot crypto people seem to think being first to build something entitles you to collect rent from everyone else who comes later. People are only willing to pay rent if it gives access to attention / distribution / potential revenue.

ETH Warsaw has been wild! Nonstop crowds at the booth, tons of people curious about what we’re building, and all the t-shirts we made for the event are already gone. Shoutout to ZondaCrypto girl in all purple and everyone who stopped by to say hi, hat stays on. 🎩 🙌

This cracked me up though

been less than 2 months since joining the stripe crypto family. proud to have played a small part in relaunching the stripe crypto site – featuring not just @privy, but also bridge, and now tempo! check it out here 👉 stripe.com/crypto now, back to locking in and changing how the world pays 🔥

a bit more on Twitter’s creator program that’s so great you’ll just have to: ✅ grind for a while to be eligible (Nikita says 6 months but likely much much longer — like years — on 10 years & I still don’t) ✅ qualify for at least $50 in rewards before they even attempt to pay you ✅ may take up to 90 days once you qualify easy peesy

You can be a serf on X, work every day for 6 months, and then be granted the opportunity to make money from someone else. Just make sure you keep following the rules so you don’t get kicked out. Or come to Farcaster or TBA, own your identity and make money on day 1

This is perfect advertising for Farcaster and TBA. Almost thought he was trolling… @dwr.eth @jesse.base.eth

hate to say it but Substack is the new Farcaster

Hi Farcasters, It's been a minute, hasn't it? Some of y'all have tagged me in posts, wondering where I'd been. What happened? We've been cooking. The team at Quilibrium has been hard at work in building out that future I've been talking about, and you're about to be in it, whether you're an ETH maxi, enlightened $wQUIL champion, or a nocoin enjoyer. So I've come back to show you what that all means. Let's start with Q. After many, many long nights, the sacrifices have come to a fore, as the long-awaited 2.1 is undergoing the final battle testing to ensure the upgrade continues without a hitch. A massive parallel network, with secure computation at the core. A place where the cypherpunk dreamers don't have to sacrifice their privacy, or performance, or cobble together broken solutions to launch groundbreaking applications. A platform where all communication is private by default – where it is harder to break a user's privacy than to do the right thing and protect it. But hard tech is hard, and even with guardrails baked in for coders, it's still a learning curve. How are we overcoming this? By building out the paved roads of common technologies builders already use every day, so switching over is a matter of creating an account, and running a few commands. The first of these products are our S3-compatible API, and KMS-compatible API. Many more will follow in the coming months. But privacy tech is expensive! Or is it? We've opted for highly efficient cryptography purpose-built for developer needs instead of researcher dreams. The consequence: our prices undercut Amazon Web Services. We've spent so much time and energy building a new protocol meant to make the internet work better for its users, and we can't wait for you to be using it too. But we haven't stopped there.

who wants some funds to fuel your ideas? come build with us 🤝

We're building Paragraph APIs and a developer SDK. What would you want to do with Paragraph data? Some things we're thinking of: - Display all your posts elsewhere - Fetch a publication by wallet address - Add subscribers to your newsletter - Trade all Paragraph coins
